> Equestria Changed > by TheOneWithoutAName > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: The Night that didn’t last > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ARC I “THE NIGHT SHALL LAST FOREVER!” Nightmare Moon roared as she shattered the Elements, making Twilight sink to the ground in despair. “N-No…” The dark mare couldn’t help but grin ferally at her adversary. She certainly was a brave little pony. Nightmare certainly could admire that. Not to mention that she was the nerdy type. And she could definitely dig that so to say. It might have seemed rather rushed, but 1000 years were a long time, and who was she to deny her own desires? She stepped over to the mare comfortingly, but also haughtily, keeping her composure. “My pony, you were never meant to be victorious, and there is no shame in that. You are just a unicorn after all. But don’t worry. For a mare as courageous as you there will be a place in my kingdom.” The dark mare lifted her chin, small tears streaking the purple mare’s cheeks as she helplessly looked up at her. ‘So young, so tender,’ she purred in her thoughts as she leaned her head down and brought the purple one’s closer to herself. “TWILIGHT!” But before they could connect, a southern drawl could be heard as five ponies stormed in. Twilight pulled back, as did the Nightmare Princess. She seemed slightly disgruntled at the disruption, but only for a moment as she walked past Twilight, flicking her snout with her tail and swaying her hips as she walked towards the others. “Seems like you have arrived now as well. But too late. The Elements are destroyed, so you-” “THAT’S IT!” Twilight suddenly exclaimed, interrupting Nightmare. She turned her head in time for the purple mare to stride confidently towards them. “Nightmare Moon! You think you can destroy the Elements like that, but the Elements are still here! And no amount of temptation you throw at us could stop that!” “First Applejack, who reassured me when I was falling to despair, represents the Element of... honesty!” As she said that a weak glow emanated from the stones, as they lazily lifted up and towards Applejack, circling her as she lifted from the ground as well. “Fluttershy, who saved us from the manticore with her knowledge about magical beasts, represents the Element of... kindness!” she finished and more splinters started to float, this time surrounding the shy and uncertain mare.  “Pinkie Pie, who banished my anxiety with her antics, represents the Element of... laughter!” “Rarity, who calmed a sorrowful serpent and helped us press on represents the Element of... generosity!” “And Rainbow Dash, who could not abandon us, abandon all of Equestria for her ambitions represents the Element of... loyalty!”  As she listed them off, more and more splinters flew around with a light glow, making Nightmare look at them with some degree of panic, as her mind calculated a way out, while Twilight continued to drone on. “The spirits of these five ponies got us through every danger, every conceiving action you threw at us. And with all five sparks ignited, I can now summon the last and probably most powerful Element of all: Wisdom!” she roared out, the little mare being so sure of herself as she was the only pony that was still on the ground. Her horn emitted a few sparks, and she grimaced in concentration as she pushed pure mana out, trying to pull the Element to her. To reward her for her impeccable conclusion and put this literal nightmare behind her. She pushed and pushed and pushed, but somehow nothing happened. Nightmare’s panic seemed to seep into that little pony at the same rate as it was seeping out of herself. The alicorn’s horn was glowing, a slight wisp escaping from it before she eyed them again. “It seems like my emergency plan wasn’t necessary after all,” she exclaimed with a wide grin as Twilight stepped away, frightened. “N-No! No! No! This can’t be! I-I can’t fail! I never fail a test!” the mare replied shrinking visibly as she started to cry. At the same time as she did the glow vanished from the splinters and they fell back to the ground together with the mares who looked equally stunned at how this turned out. “An admirable effort. But it is over now. Submit to me. Submit to your new and only Princess!” “Never!” Rainbow roared flying at her, but the dark mare simply halted her in midair with her levitation magic, shaking her head at her. “Foolish. You should know that it is over. There is no hope for your victory. Equestria is mine now.” Just as she finished that sentence a light flashed behind her. Nightmare tried to turn around but was quickly caught by a barrage of bright magic, hurling her into a wall, right next to the entrance with the stairs. The six ponies ducked, quickly huddling away as Celestia herself stepped forward, glaring fiercely at her transformed sister. Her gaze briefly went to Twilight, a scowl of disapproval on her face. “We will talk later,” was all she said to her before her attention was on Nightmare again who righted herself up, spitting out some blood. “That was a cheap shot, wasn’t it, ‘sister’?” she seethed out, which in turn made Celestia’s anger flare again. “Don’t you dare use that title!” she screamed, firing a bright beam at her. Nightmare instantly reciprocated it with her own, her dark cyan magic pressing against hers. There was much hatred. So much hatred to be felt in that moment as both pushed against each other. And just as Nightmare felt she could overpower her however, something unexpected happened. Two shield spells enveloped her, cutting off her beam right before her horn. The blue and pink shield bubble held her beam inside for a moment. A moment that was long enough for Celestia’s beam to collide with the shield right before Nightmare’s snout. As the shields disintegrated, so did Nightmare’s beam that was overpowered in this moment of surprise, slamming her down the stairs. She practically tumbled down painfully, and broken. That was a strong hit. But she was an alicorn. And if nothing else she could weather it. She quickly stood up before Celestia flapped her wings, flying down to the hall with its many pillars. Nightmare grabbed a fallen pillar swatting at Celestia with it, but was protected by a pink bubble. She saw two other ponies. New ponies, stepping into the hall. A white stallion with two-toned blue mane, his horn glowing pink, and a pink alicorn that was unknown to her. Though she couldn’t get more than a glance on them as Celestia was already on her, another beam firing close range. She barely managed to disintegrate into shadows to slip away from it. Deciding that it would be best to deal with the two interlopers first she got back into her tall form right next to the stallion startling him. She summoned chains out of shadow to bind both of them. This surprised and overwhelmed the stallion, binding him as the pink alicorn was only fast enough to protect herself with a blue bubble that pushed her magical constructs back. Nightmare jumped out of range of the shield, snarling at this hindrance, but then could feel a certain heat to her side as Celestia stormed at her once again. The dark mare quickly avoided her, slipping back into the shadows and again gaining some distance from them. She could see the pink alicorn trying to free the white stallion. An advantage she certainly wasn’t willing to give them. Her horn started to glow and she turned the ground beneath the alicorn into a swamp that swallowed her legs right up, making her stuck as well. “Easy but effective. Some basic transfiguration. But I probably should end this and send them into a deep slumber.” “You won’t!” Celestia growled, firing a few shots at her. Nightmare instantly went back to dodging, albeit she felt rather annoyed as well. “You just always know how to ruin my day! And here I was ready to have some fun with that student of yours!” the dark mare half groused, half taunted, and she definitely hit a nerve considering Celestia’s frustrated screams as she continued to hit her, the wall to the outside being obliterated by this and letting the moonlight shine inside. “You! Won’t! Taint! Anypony! Else!” Celestia continued to scream at her, each scream followed by another blast. She hardly left Nightmare any room to breathe. “Oh ho ho! Seems like little Celly is still having a stick up her ass!” As she said that she fired back, but Celestia used the last pillar in the room for cover. It fell, and just as Nightmare was readying herself for another blast, she noticed that it wasn’t the only thing that was falling. The entire ceiling was coming down! Thinking fast she threw up a shield, protecting her as big pieces of rubble crashed against it. Nightmare grunted from the effort but it luckily wasn’t that long that she had to hold it. Just as it stopped however, she was blindsided by Celestia. This time she didn’t even bother with a beam as she crashed, two frontlegs first into her side. The dark mare gasped in pain as she was flown into one of the remaining walls. She quickly tried to become one with the shadows again as she was edged against the wall but a powerful light spell from another alicorn stopped her transition. The pink one and the stallion had freed themselves. This moment of vulnerability was all that was needed for Celestia to fire another beam at her while her hooves kept the mare in place. Nightmare screamed as the beam connected, her wounds aggravating before she slumped to the ground, her legs no longer able to carry her. Her whole body ached as she coughed, still trying to stand up, but before she could she saw Celestia and the other two standing over her. Celestia sighed as she floated all of the scraps from the Elements over into the hall they were now in. She tried to pour some magic in, but didn’t succeed in reforming them. “Useless,” she muttered, putting them in the saddle bags the pink alicorn wore. Then as she walked another step forward she levitated a ring over and set it on Nightmare’s horn. She screamed in protest, but it was a weak and fragile scream considering her state. “Nightmare Moon,” Celestia started again in a heated tone, “For your crimes against the crown you will be sentenced to a life in dungeon, until such a time comes when you are pried from the body of my sister. Captain. Shackle the prisoner and load her into the chariot. I want her chained in a dungeon at the end of the day.” “Yes your Majesty. It will be done,” the Captain of the Guard swore as he got some shackles from his own saddlebags, making sure to secure her hooves. Princess Celestia then went back to the stairs, just in time to see six ponies come galloping down. She turned her head to Cadance shortly. “You did well Cadance. Return to the palace while I’m taking care of them. Place the splinters of the Elements in my personal quarters.” “I will stay. I want to make sure Twilight is okay,” Cadance retorted, trying to trot after her, but Celestia spread a wing stopping her in her path. “Go to Canterlot Cadance. Now,” the voice was rather irritated, and while Cadance wanted to protest her mind advised her to not aggravate the sun princess further. She sighed out hanging her head. “I will.” The white alicorn mare didn’t acknowledge her further as she already was standing in front of Twilight. Celestia was so much taller than her, shining with pure authority. An authority that made the mare feel small and insignificant. The purple mare barely stopped crying from last time and already felt like doing so again as her thoughts were driving her wild. She felt them berate herself. There was one word that overall dominated her mind: ‘Disappointment.’ She didn’t want to hear these voices but she did so all the same. Still, another voice told her that she might be wrong, that maybe Celestia would reassure her. Show her that even despite her failings, she would be accepted by her idol and mentor. That she would embrace her and tell her it is okay. To make her feel a warmth throughout her entire body. But she didn’t. Instead she scowled at her. A scowl of a disapproving teacher. “You failed Twilight. You didn’t manage to defeat Nightmare Moon. Worse yet, you let her destroy the Elements. The only real defense against the evil powers that lay beyond our borders.” “I-I’m sorry Princess! I-I didn’t mean too! I tried! I really tried! I tried everything to make you proud! To show you what I have learned!” Celestia shakes her head turning away from her. “It doesn’t seem like you have learned all that much in the end. Go back to Canterlot immediately. I won’t have time for lessons with you, so reflect on your shortcomings. If you can even manage to overcome those.” The tone in which she said that last part was clear doubt. A doubt that cut through Twilight’s heart like a knife, making her collapse as she cried violently. The others tried to comfort her, but even they were emotionally exhausted by the events of the day and couldn’t offer much solace. Celestia had just discarded her. As the pristinely white alicorn strode outside her horn glowed. Instantly her sun went on the horizon as the treacherous moon lowered. She could see the black furred monster already placed and bound in a chariot. A brown muzzle was bound to her snout, seemingly to hinder her from biting anypony. Nightmare seemed to have noticed her presence. Or maybe it was just because of the sunrise. All the same her piercing slit-like eyes were set on her. The hatred burned strong in her, but so did Celestia’s. She simply glared back until Shining Armor got on the chariot and took off. It was the start of a new day. > Chapter 2: Chains and Reformation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nightmare was chained. Her forelegs pulled over her head as her hindlegs were standing on the ground, her back to the wall. Her wings were bound equally and her horn still had the accursed ring perched on top of it. That is how they left her. Helpless with her private bits like her teats and marehood on full display. She assumed Celestia didn’t really care for the decency of her prisoners. Still a bit surprising, coming from that prude cunt. But alas she assumed that this was more about keeping her prisoners as helpless as she could, instead of humiliating them. Nightmare in any case didn’t really mind to have her goods on show for the guards. Not that there were any that stared. Only one guard was stationed in front of her cell, and that one didn’t move, no matter how many muffled sounds she produced through the muzzle they had strapped to her mouth. Maybe that was because the only time he looked she had spread her hind legs and thrust her hips forward. That guard blushed furiously and berated her before simply giving up and opting to ignore her. ‘It was always fun to tease the guards. Even back then. Albeit I had to be more subtle about it lest that wretched sister of mine would ruin my fun. Just like she always did.’ It was in that moment that her ears twitched as she heard the telltale signs of clopping hooves on stone nearing her cell. “Princess!” the guard greeted, no doubt bowing his head to this foul being that was gracing Nightmare with her presence. “At ease. I hope she didn’t cause you any trouble?” Celestia asked, still out of sight. “N-No. At least nothing too much,” the guard stammered and Nightmare imagined he probably turned his head away blushing, making her grin slightly. A sigh from the white alicorn mare followed as she nodded to the guard. “Not like I expected anything different from her,” she mumbled before finally trotting to the cell. Her fur and mane were impeccable as always, though Nightmare assumed that she probably took a bath. She also wore her regalia, trying to emit an air of authority as she opened the cell door and stepped in without any hint of hesitation or fear. She had a book floating alongside her. ‘Mastery of Balance: Reformation Spells and their Application,’ Nightmare read the title and couldn’t help but chuckle. “What is so funny, Nightmare? Any more twisted jokes you would like to pull?” Celestia asked her with clear disdain. She then pulled the muzzle off of her with magic and set it down on the cold stone floor so she could answer. “Isn’t it obvious? Your desperate attempts to find a spell to purge me? To force balance, without even realizing that I am balance itself? I am the balance Luna needed. That you wouldn’t give to her.” Celestia used her magic to bitchslap Nightmare’s left cheek, a snarl on her face, “Don’t you DARE speak that name!” While that hit stung, Nightmare still managed to maintain a grin. “The truth hurts, doesn’t it? She needed her sister to support her in her dark hours, but as she didn’t get the support it was up to me. Up to me to show her the fun side of life,” Nightmare purred. Celestia’s face twisted into a mask of rage, but she quickly pushed those feelings down, trying to not let this monster get under her skin. Instead she opened the book to a bookmarked page. “Say what you will, but in the end you won’t exist for much longer.” As she finished that sentence her horn started to glow. A glow that got brighter and brighter until it enveloped Nightmare Moon. Said mare could feel her dark fur stand on end and she started to grunt. Celestia poured more of her magic into it, seeing that as a good sign as she let the weaved spell matrix wash over her, fixing her sister and completely cutting Nightmare from her, once and for all. The light was blinding at this point and Celestia felt some exhaustion herself with how much she was pouring into this, just to make sure every last speck of Nightmare’s darkness would vanish. Then the white mares legs collapsed under her as the spell was completed, the blinding light slowly receded, leaving the cell as it once was. With one change. Celestia looked up, her eyes hopeful. They widened as they saw what was before her. A slightly smaller bound form with dark blue fur. No wicked teeth, no slit eyes. Tears welled up in Celestia’s eyes as she saw this, the book dropping from her magic and on the floor with a resounding thump. She teared up even more as she heard the sweet voice of her sister for the first time in a millennia. “T-Tia?” the voice quivered and Celestia smiled brightly. She stood up, instantly hobbling over to her and giving the mare a fierce hug, nuzzling her lunar sisters cheek. “Y-Yes Luna. It is me. I’m here. I’m here for you,” the alicorn of the sun whispered, trying to contain a few happy sobs. As she finished her nuzzles her eyes went to her face, muzzles close as she smiled happily at her. Probably the happiest she has been for a thousand years. Then suddenly her sister for some reason smirked. It confused Celestia greatly. And then she pressed her muzzle onto hers. Celestia gasped in surprise, which turned out to be a grave mistake as it allowed the lunar princess to sink her tongue into the white mare’s muzzle, said tongue sweeping over the inside of her mouth naughtily. It took Celestia a moment to shake off her shock and pull away. A thin line of spit connecting their lips for a moment. “W-WHAT THE BUCK LUNA!” Celestia screeched with hotly flushed cheeks. Said mare just giggled. Her head lowered so that Celestia couldn’t see her eyes. “Y-You should see the look on your face bwahahaha!” the mare laughed boisterously before lifting her head and a pair of turquoise slit eyes stared back at her. The mare smirked as Celestia stepped back, her eyes turning to pinpricks. “No…” “Yesssssss!” the darker mare hissed as her teeth sharpened and her fur turned from dark blue to black, starting from her muzzle. The white alicorn’s heart sank, but at the same time she felt her rage boil up again. She glared at Nightmare as she started to guffaw out a laugh again, clearly in high spirits from her cruel prank. Celestia for one had no words. There were no words in her mind to express the anger she felt. The utter hatred towards this being that was toying with her, mocking her. She screeched out, an ungodly noise as she stomped on the ground. It cracked, instantly creating a crater and going as far as to crack the walls surrounding them. Celestia panted afterwards, sweat dropping from her brow as one could hear the cell crumbling around them. It took everything in her not to unleash this on Nightmare herself, lest she kills her own sister in a fit of rage. Still, while it calmed her, it didn’t satisfy her nearly enough. Frustration, anger, sadness. All was mixed into her being. There was no happiness to be gleaned in her situation. Not until she would resolve this. Not until she had her sister back. So she lifted her head, looking at the Nightmare as determined as she could. And the Nightmare just smiled back. Celestia waited for it. Waited for another teasing remark. Waited for her to insinuate that she needs some stallion to relieve her stress. But she didn’t. She didn’t need to. The Nightmare was well aware that she had won this round. There were no words needed to affirm that. And any comments would just cheapen this victory. Celestia then turned around and walked out of the cell. She looked at the frightened guard and already saw more coming down from the hall, clearly having heard her outrage. Leading them was none other than their Captain, Shining Armor. He halted in front of her, saluting. “Princess, we have heard a commotion and came as quickly as we came to support you.” Celestia sighed, she’d rather not have them see her sign of weakness, but she hardly could hide it. “It is quite alright Captain. I was just...having slight troubles with the Nightmare. She can be quite provoking. Anyway, she will need a new cell. I trust you can take care of this?” The unicorn bowed his head, “Of course, your majesty. It will be done.” Celestia nodded and gracefully walked past the guards, leaving them to it. Her magic flared up as she quickly levitated the book out of the cell that she had dropped prior. It was in a poor state, but nothing a simple spell couldn’t fix. For now she would have to visit her student. Her research for a suitable spell obviously failed and she would have to reprimand her. The thought alone made her sigh again. ‘Maybe I should have kept Sunset.’ > Chapter 3: Fruitless Efforts (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “You failed me yet again,” Celestia said to her student who was rather distressed by these words. “All the lessons. All the training, and you can’t banish the Nightmare.” Twilight prostrate herself before her tutor, hoping against hope she could make up for it. But still, her mind was reeling. Her entrance was so sudden, just as how she quickly told her how miserably the spell had failed. “I-I’m sorry Princess! I-I swear! I’ll do better! I will banish her! If I just look through the Royal Archives, I could probably cross-reference the different titles on reformation to find the most suitable solutio-” The solar diarch lifted her hoof, making the little purple mare go quiet in trepidation. “No. You already disappointed me twice. I will have another scholar perform this task. Obviously I overestimated your skills greatly. You will remain here for an indefinite amount of time to self-study and reflect on your shortcomings. You are not allowed to return home as I hardly can reward you by seeing your family while I’m refused to see mine.” The cowering mare looked up, tears welling in her eyes, “P-Princess?” Celestia sighed and turned away, moving to the door without saying another word. She instantly assigned high-ranking scholars to look for a solution to the Nightmare situation. After all, she had her school for gifted unicorns that had many qualified personnel graduate each year. So many other ponies just as promising as Twilight, if not more. She had all the resources at her hooves, including a large library with many spell books to boot. Spell books that could only be found there as well as various books about possessions as well. This alone made her confident that she would solve the problem within a month and have Nightmare finally eradicated from the face of Equus. She already had another spell ready, powering her horn and pushing it onto the foul creature. “No talk this time?” she mocked her, but Celestia ignored it this time, instead focusing on her spell work. It was a more complicated spell than the last, leading her to believe that this scholar was less sloppy in her endeavors than her student. She certainly expected that. After all, she offered a grand reward for whoever managed to pick the right spell. Then she fired. Another wall of light hitting her possessed sister like last time as the intricate magic washed over her, trying to strip the dark magic from her. It certainly was a good angle. Attacking the parasite directly, plucking it from her like a filthy tick. She heard the monster scream, giving her some courage as she pulled more into it. So much so that she was exhausted yet again after a full two minutes of upholding it. Then the magic vanished and Celestia looked up hopefully. A hope that was quickly crushed as the Nightmare groaned in her position on the wall. “That hurt! Do me a favor and punch the idiot that suggested that spell. Seriously. I think I will feel that in the morning,” the dark mare complained, something that only agitated the Princess more as she clenched her teeth. Nightmare noticed that, smirking, “What? Feeling agitated about the fact you hurt your little sister? Strange. I remembered that you didn’t care all that much about her. Otherwise we wouldn’t be in this situation, don’t you think?” Celestia wanted to hit her, wanted to tear into her, but she knew better than that. Instead she calmly counted to ten in her head before turning around and leaving, not wasting her breath on this dark creature.  “Failures happen. Not every spell can work against her. This is a unique case after all,” she said in a shallow way to comfort herself. There were many more spells and she was sure one would work. Celestia lit her horn, envisioning the mind suppressing spell. A spell that surely would subdue Nightmare and make sure she could destroy the weakened form of the dark mare adequately after she reunited with her sister. It was the ninth spell by now, but certainly promising. She concentrated on her spell work, guiding her magic and letting it wash over the dark mare. It almost was becoming a daily habit by now. A habit the princess could certainly do without. She didn’t need Nightmare’s snide comments to each failed spell, or even her petty insults or mocking jabs. All she wanted was her sister. Her horn powered down again as she looked at her work. This time there was a change as the mare shrunk lightly and reverted to her sister’s self, hanging there limply. “Luna?” Celestia questioned cautiously. The mare lifted her head, lightly squinting her eyes, “Tia, is that you?” “Yes...Yes it is,” she said slowly moving closer. “Can you move a bit closer still? It is so hard to see you in this damp cell.” The white mare did so, slowly approaching but staying out of reach, making the smaller mare smile. “What? Are you afraid of your own sister now? You really shouldn’t be and instead help me down.” she wondered and the taller alicorn had to hold herself back. Not to storm in and give her a hug like she so desperately wanted to as she still had her doubts. Doubts she had to voice, despite her clear wishes to do otherwise. “I’m sorry. But there is still the chance that you are Nightmare and trying to trick me. I can’t risk it. Not even for you.” “Such a callous and calculated reply. I am deeply disappointed with you Celestia,” Luna huffed before turning back to Nightmare, making the Princess of the Sun glare. It wasn’t unexpected, but still it hurt to have this monster trying to toy with her heart like this. So she simply glared as Nightmare grinned. “What? No more words today? You certainly get ruder every time. Not even trying to hold a conversation with me. A bit more than a week has passed after all.” “I don’t need to talk with a dead mare. You will die within a month.” However. Things turned out differently. In the end a full month passed without the Nightmare being eradicated. This was followed by another quickly. Even the Grand Galloping Gala was passing by, without any positive outlook whatsoever. Despite Celestia sicking all of her resources on the pursuit to find a solution to this Nightmare mess, nothing worked out. Every spell, another failure. A few times she thought it was working, but that of course was just the Nightmare playing more tricks on her like the sick twisted being she was. So the white alicorn’s hope diminished with every following day. She felt restless. Something that also reflected in her sleep as she tossed and turned, like she did right now. Her cheeks were glowing, her breath ragged as a particularly juicy dream was haunting her sleeping mind. Her wings were tense and wide spread, only hindering her movements in her sleep. In her mind an old memory was dug up. A shameful memory. She tried to suppress it but in a dream that meant nothing seemingly. It all started harmless enough. The strongest heat she ever experienced was forcing her to stay in her chambers for the day. She would have to weather it. To endure it like the dignified ruler she was. Then Luna visited. She seemed worried about her state, or at least that is what she thought about it at the time. In truth she was just nervous for what she was about to do. She pressed her blue lips into hers, kissing her and completely blindsiding her. Normally she would have pushed her sister off and gave her a very stern talking to. But heat-struck as she was she didn’t really stop her. Instead she stumbled back and fell with her back on the bed. It left her exposed and vulnerable for what was her sister about to do. Seconds later she felt the hot breath of her own sister on her marehood before her tongue lapped at it, making the Princess of the Sun whinny in surprise and pleasure alike. And Luna continued. After the first lick, her sense of holding back seemed to break as she got more eager at it, dragging her tongue right up to where her clit was winking. Celestia tried to stop her, trying to voice her complaints about this forbidden act and reprimand her for it, but the expertise of her tongue was making it difficult for her. Of course she still managed some half-baked “Stop it” and “Don’t’s”, but it hardly deterred her. Then the tongue pierced her, shoving itself deeply into her. It was feeling as incredible as much as it was scandalous. Her tongue seemed to swipe along every speck of her wet cavern, making the once so dignified ruler a shuddering mess. It didn’t take long for her to cum, spraying her shame directly into her younger sisters face who drank it up fervently until she was satisfied. Celestia herself was too dazed to do anything. Or to notice the embarrassed squeak, the slight scuffling and what seemed like a small panicked discussion near her, before the noises stopped after a while and the door closed, announcing Luna’s departure as she laid in her own shame. Celestia then gasped, her back arching as she awoke with a start. The pristine white mare felt tense, sweaty, and heated. Her arousal was at an all-time high in that moment. It felt just like the heat back then. Uncontrollable. “J-Just what is this sorcery?” Celestia panted, her hooves gripping the bed sheets tightly as her marehood felt like it was on fire. She tried to ignore it. Tried to wait for this heat to cool down but as the minutes ticked by it didn’t change one bit. It only seemed to get worse. The princess let out a snort of frustration before she laid her hoof on her squishy pussy, edging it into it. She bit her lip, suppressing a relieved groan at the pleasant stimulation. Then she started to move. Rubbing her bare hoof up and down the winking entrance. She hit her clit while doing this, moaning loudly as a large spike of pleasure shot up her spine. She couldn’t hold it back. Not anymore. Her hoof instantly picked up pace in her shameful ministrations, the short fur of it tickling along her pink walls blissfully. Her mouth was wide open, letting the sounds of her lust reverberate around her room. She then remembered the guards posted in front of her doors. Her cheeks glowed as she tried to use her horn for a sound dampening spell, but she never got the matrix quite right as her arousal was distracting her too much from this task. After a few more tries she abandoned this precaution and simply concentrated on the issue at hoof. But not before using her levitation magic to float over a pillow to her muzzle to moan into. At least her concentration wasn’t disturbed enough to allow her this. For the next few minutes she proceeded like this. Her hoof was pressed hereby more and more into the squishy mound of her marehood. Each time she hit her clit, she practically screamed into her pillow as she neared her own edge more and more. Then finally after what felt like an eternity for the pleasure tortured mare, she came. Her hoof pushed deep against her fleshy pussy lips as she quivered. A string of juices gushed from her pussy and onto her bed, ruining her sheets. High-pitched ecstatic cries escaped her muzzle, most hardly could be muffled by the pillow with how loud she was being. Her entire body was tensing as the relief along with a large wave of bliss washed over her mind. By the end of it she slumped back, laying in her bed panting exhaustedly. The pillow fell away from her muzzle. “J-Just what was that? I have never felt that heated since that day. This cannot be normal. This dream cannot...be…” Celestia said, a slow understanding dawned on her, “Dream,” she repeated before her muzzle turned into a snarl. “That bitch!” Her rage gave her all the energy she needed to quickly stand up. Her magic floated over her regalia, quickly donning the horseshoes, breastplate and crown. Then after a quick glance in the mirror to make sure she was well-dressed, she made her horn glow to open the doors to her room and trotted out. Out of the corner of her eyes she could see the two guards that were placed at her door. They seemed flushed and there was something under their...barrels. The Princess quickly avoided her eyes, fighting another blush as she growled. “You two, follow me,” she ordered to which the guards flinched, before they saluted. They then walked alongside her uncomfortably. The Princesses gaze was determined as she walked in the direction of the dungeons. > Chapter 4: The Fall of Decency (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Oh? Here so late? Did you forget something? Maybe giving me a goodnight kiss?” the Nightmare mocked. She wasn’t expecting to see Celestia storm in on her cell so suddenly with a murderous glare, but she thought she might as well milk it and pry what had her feathers rustled. Celestia seemed to ignore her words, like she did so often during this month as she stomped forward, the two guards that she ordered to follow her were waiting outside at the cell door with the other two looking worriedly at the situation. She stopped rather close. Something that was certainly new. After the first time and the kiss, Celestia normally held a respectable distance. This made Nightmare quirk her brow in clear interest. “How have you foul beast accessed the dream realm?” Celestia finally asked seething, albeit Nightmare simply had a thoughtful look on her face. “Why would you think that? I have been imprisoned here for a month and my magic is well and truly cut off, thanks to that little trinket you put on my horn.” “Don’t play dumb with me! You gave me THAT memory as a dream! Manipulating my body to do shameful things that would never cross my mind otherwise!” The dark mare started to grin, understanding dawning on her as to what memory she might be talking about. “Oh? Don’t act like you didn’t love it. Maybe that is why you remembered just now? Maybe that is what your body is craving? My, my. It seems I underestimated you. You aren’t quite as much as a prude as I expected you to be.” The dark mare then sniffed the air, sighing out deliciously as she seemed to pick up on something. “You really have graduated from being a prude. I can smell your delectable juices. How about you let me down and I show you a tongue more skilled than Luna’s,” she said, her elegant tongue flicking out of her mouth teasingly. The white alicorn princess flinched, stepping back at that for a moment, the crassness taking her by surprise. But she shook it off quickly, trying to not give the dark mare any ground. “This is no joke Nightmare! Tell me how you did it, or else…” Celestia hissed out in seething anger, her teeth clenched in a rather unladylike snarl. “Or else? Don’t tell me you want to punish your little sister’s body, just because you turned horny. Seems like I was right. You really are a terrible sister.” This seemed to prove too much for her as Celestia started to snap. Her whole body tensed and she simply couldn’t hold back her rage any more. She wouldn’t bow down to this slut! Not be at the mercy of her whims.  Just as she thought that, she could feel some of her own translucent cum running down her white-furred legs, as if to mock her. This won’t do. She cannot let this stand. She was the one in control and no one else! ‘And Nightmare would do well to remember this…’ she thought out the last part as her head turned to the cell door. “GUARDS!” she called for them, and two of the startled ponies stumbled in. A grey one with white mane as well as a white one with blue mane, both wearing their golden armor. The pristine mare hesitated for a moment. Hesitated on what she was about to do, only to have another streak of her marecum run down her other leg, tainting it and reminding her all too well that Nightmare was asking for this. It was her fault. It was her body now. Not her sweet innocent sister’s. There was no need to hold back with the body of a total slut. She deserved this. She breathed in and out once, her voice steeling itself in the process as she glared at the mare that hung with her forehooves above her head on the wall and with her teats and marehood on full display. “Have a go at it.” Both guards seemed confused by her command, looking at her questionably. “Princess?” the white one asked,as the Nightmare blinked in surprise. “You can’t be serious,” she told her, not believing what she just heard. “It is just as I said. Go ahead. If she wants to act like a prostitute, you can use her like one.” The white one was uncertain, clearly newer and more inexperienced as he looked over to his grey colleague. But even he seemed to be surprised by it. Though all the same the grey one’s eyes flitted over the dark mare’s body. Her undeniably sexy curves, her full set of teats, as well as the dark marehood, presented to them and practically begging for him to take the Princess up on that offer. Even more so with the light glinting that showed some light sheen of arousal on it. “Yes...Princess.” The white guard that was by that point staring too quickly snapped his head back to the grey one clearly surprised, but he didn’t dare to speak up. To defy the orders of the Princess. He could see how violently her mane whipped about, showing quite well that she wasn’t about to accept any negative answer. And that didn’t even account for the heating glare. And it truly was heating as they seemed to turn slightly into a fiery amber. So he straightened himself out, head forward as the grey stallion walked up to the Nightmare. The situation was crazy, but tempting as well. The body of a Goddess lay before him. The view alone enough for his black cock to slip out of its sheath in mere moments. The hardening prick swung under his barrel from the light momentum while his full balls did so in a less violent manner. It was only a few steps, yet it was tense all the same. Nightmare’s eyes flicked from the grey guard to Celestia, still surprised. “...You are serious.” While her glare was dangerous the hissed words that followed seemed rather calm in direct comparison. Still, the calmness didn’t belie the clear threat in them. “Of course I am. I have had it with you, Nightmare. A whole month of your mockery and still it isn’t enough. A thousand years of you separating me from my sister and it still isn’t enough. And now you are invading my dreams, but it still isn’t enough. You are a spoiled brat heckling for more and more leverage to satisfy your sickening greed for attention and influence. So I will give you the attention. In a way a hussy like you deserves.” Nightmare was about to retort but Celestia’s horn glowed with its yellow intensity, making an equally yellow aura snap around the darker mare’s muzzle, binding it shut with a magical construct. “Mmmmmm!” Nightmare protested muffledly, shaking her head as if trying to get rid of the magic wrapped around her muzzle. Little good it did as it didn’t move an inch. The grey guard had halted by that point, standing in front of her, but the interaction stopping him from going further. Even more so with the mare struggling now against the wall. While her legs were chained as well, they were so in a manner that didn’t open them. There were just some shackles with short chains to the wall. The punishment hardly could proceed like this. Celestia knew that. Unfortunately she didn’t have the necessary equipment so she had to improvise this part, just like the way she had silenced her. With an annoyed huff, her horn glowed again, freeing Nightmare from her hind hoof shackles and quickly replacing them with ones of her own magic that had a small round beam, a bar, spreading her legs. The shackles connected to the wall, holding them forcefully in place. With her thighs now parted, the guard had unhindered access to the hussy’s flower. Though his gaze was fixated on her round bountiful teats at first, weighing his options. Deciding that he had waited long enough he got closer with his head before his mouth encompassed her dark nipple, his tongue swiping over the flesh teasingly. Then the guard brought his teeth into play, pinching her nipple with it and making Nightmare mutely gasp. Or whatever the equivalent was to trying to gasp while having one’s muzzle closed. He then went for the other teat, nibbling on it as well and leaving a thin sheen of his drool on it, while his hoof fondled the free one, enjoying the soft texture. Celestia simply watched, letting the guard do whatever he pleased to do. It was right in her mind. So when he finally pulled his mouth off Nightmare and stood up on his hindlegs, she didn’t even twitch. His dark grey frontlegs went on the wall, keeping him up as he aimed with his tip at the much larger mare. Seeing the difference in height would cause problems Celestia flared her magic, giving more chains to the shackles of her forelegs as well as adjusting the ones on her hind hooves to be closer to the ground. The guard nodded vaguely in the princess’s direction in thanks before pressing his flat tip against the wet flesh of Nightmare’s marehood, who seemed to tense at the contact. Then he pressed. It slipped in easier than the guard expected, almost making him stumble as he groaned from the snug and wet embrace of her marehood. Nightmare herself gave a muffled noise that sounded like a moan and made Celestia’s visage twist in disgust. “You really do deserve this,” she said with her glare still locked on her. The guard tensing at hearing the sun princess decided to distract himself with Nightmare’s hole. After all, he had an order to fulfill from her. So he started to move, shoving his cock further in. Seeing as she was an Alicorn, it wasn’t too hard for him to sink it into her completely. The medial ring hereby scrapped nicely along the dark mares walls, making her shudder lightly. Her pussy certainly seemed to react as it got hotter for the guard, in the best of ways. He pulled out and then pushed in with a grunt, before repeating the process. The wetness was increasing with each thrust and Nightmare started to have her own arousal run down her legs. Something that made Celestia smirk as she got an odd satisfaction from it. Maybe a revenge for the wet dream that was causing her distress earlier. This certainly seemed like justice in its truest form. After all, she got what she sowed. Her muffled moans and groans only amplified that feeling further as Celestia watched on as the guard humped the black Alicorn’s flower like it was some public use hole. His white counterpart watched on in shock as his colleague practically ravished one of the most powerful mares in Equestria like a cheap whore. His cheeks were flushed and he felt his cock already erect under his barrel, demanding a turn at the wicked mare as well. While Celestia winced slightly at seeing his eagerness, she tried not to show it too much. They were just fulfilling her orders after all. Still, it was strange to her now that she had let her eyes wander, making her shake her head and shake off that thought. No need for her to be the prude Nightmare sees in her. This needed to be done. It was then that she noticed that the grey guard accelerated his thrusts, his hips slapping into Nightmare as his heavy black balls swung beneath him. The guard’s breathing got more labored, the royal hole proving rather satisfactory while he could still hear the muffled moans of the villainess. “You can finish inside. No need to pull out with this hussy,” Celestia said, the words leaving her lips before she could probably think on it. “Y-Yes princess!” the guard answered dutifully, not needing to be asked twice as he felt himself drawing close. His flat tip hammered into her dark puffy lips with high speed, the mare quivering in her position as her mind was lighting up with fireworks of pleasure. But before she could reach her peak she heard the stallion groan and hilt, his frantic movements ceasing as something hot and viscous entered her. The mare’s eyes turned to pinpricks at the feeling. The feeling of white seed getting shot deep inside of her. Her breathing hitched in that moment, her body tensing slightly at this invasion while the guard decided to hump into her a few more times, smearing his cum into her. Then after he had emptied his balls completely his hind hooves clacked on the floor as his flaccid going member was pulled out, his wide head straining on her pussy for a moment like a cork. After a noisy pop followed a thick string of white goo that was joining the puddle of sexual juices that had gathered on the floor. The grey guard panted and stepped back enough that his front legs touched back on the ground before turning around with a satisfied grin. The white guard looked at him with envy, but only for a moment before his eyes flitted to the clearly defenseless dark mare. He gulped nervously, but still all too hastily trotted past his colleague and up to Nightmare. His gait practically showed his excitement. His need to fornicate with her. To fuck her. He didn’t need an order to plug her flower with his shaft. It was par for the course in this moment. Something he wouldn’t want to miss. “A real princess…” he whispered, as if just now realizing what he was doing as he righted himself with his forelegs on the wall. But that was all he could say before his body spurred him on to thrust upwards as his hips moved into position. A moment later his tip slid along her walls and past them, missing his point. Nightmare Moon growled in protest, weakly moving against her bindings as if trying to escape further humiliation and punishment, but of course wasn’t about to succeed seeing as her sister’s magical might was pushed into those. The grey guard chuckled at his miss, making the white guard scowl lightly, though he instantly pulled back to try again. This time his aim held true. While his cock almost slid past again, it was just angled good enough that it did slide into her. The guard gasped at the slimy and hot entrance as his rock-hard dick was shoved into it. He certainly felt the mess, but it only helped to easily lodge himself into her completely on his first thrust. He could practically feel the pink walls clamping down on him on instinct, massaging him, coaxing him to move. His muscles tensed when he moved, his hips creating a constant hammering into her, making her teats jiggle around as he set his pace and thanking Celestia for the opportunity to do this. The mare in question didn’t really know about his silent prayer, but she didn’t need to. His enjoyment was clear as day. He was much more noisy and twitchy, compared to his grey counterpart, gasping, groaning and moaning as his body wildly shuddered during the movement. Of course his body was not the only one shuddering as the constant scraping of his rod along her sensitive walls tingled her brain with the pleasant feelings of their mating. She could little more than take the ride and suppress any pleasants sounds that might leak from her bound muzzle. Wet smacks could be clearly heard by now, strings of mare and stallion cum connecting both at their crotch region, though he didn’t mind. All he could think of was the warm embrace of the princess’s flower as he ravished it to his heart's desire. Any mess would be well worth all this. Then again, there was a nasty beauty to this as well. It was then that she came, a muffled cry escaping her closed lips as her back arched against the wall. Her marehood quivered, her muscles clamping down on his cock, making the stallion grunt before he felt her sticky juices bathing him in their warmth. He felt it clearly, tickling across his cock and balls and running down his legs. It felt incredible. Still, he pushed past her tensing walls, wanting to keep at it. Wanting to feel it deeper. To feel more of her as the mare continued to moan through her climax. His hips pushed into her, smacking into her further, continuing to stir up her insides as the guard was milking the situation for all it was worth. Nightmare’s pussy was winking erratically, her sounds of muffled enjoyment couldn’t be hold back by this point as the loud sounds echoed around the dungeon. The grey guard by that point had gotten hard again as he saw this, clearly having gotten aroused from the show yet again. The Princess grimaced slightly, not feeling quite as confident anymore in this saucy scene. Still, she needed to stay, and if just so she could not lose face to Nightmare. Of course her by now equally winking pussy didn’t help it, as her mind recalled the dream, a small part in her trying to suggest that this was Luna that was getting railed right in front of her eyes. And no matter how much she tried to squash that thought, it still stayed. She was so distracted, she almost missed the loud groan from the guard as he hilted, pumping another gallon of hot seed into the Nightmare, who writhed yet again, but wasn’t cumming in that moment. Though the floor was messy enough as is and Celestia could only imagine the headache this might cause to the cleaning personnel. The white stallion didn’t pull out, simply letting his cock rest into the mare. It was still erect, even after cumming, showing clearly how pent up or aroused he truly was. Still, it put the Princess in an uncomfortable situation. She wasn’t about to tell him to pull his cock out of her sister’s body. Something like that shouldn’t leave her lips. She was the Princess after all. The epitome of perfection. A well-crafted picture to uphold peace and prosperity. A response needed to be made still, so she decided to be vague. “The punishment was handed out, so I will take my leave. You two will continue to guard her.” It was all she said before turning around and leaving, her tail tucked between her legs, catching the little drops that were escaping her inflamed lips. Nightmare glared at her weakly, her furry cheeks red with a heavy blush as she hang there helplessly. As soon as Princess Celestia was gone, the white stallion looked over to the other. “D-Do you think I can go another round?” It was a simple statement, but one that made the grey stud aware of his own still hard cock. His eyes travelled between Nightmare’s legs and the mess. ‘Well...it is not like anyone would notice a bit more cum at this point.’  The guard then grinned. “Alright. But you best finish up quickly. I want to have a go at that untouched ponut next.” Nightmare was too weak to protest as the stallions neared her. Only a minute later, loud moans sounded from the cell once more. > Chapter 5: The Punishment Continues (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A few days have passed. A few days in that damp dungeon. A few days that were accompanied by an all too familiar wet slapping sound. Even now in the middle of the day. Loud groans were close to her ears as a hard pillar of flesh was driven into her sensitive marehood. The guards were taking advantage of her vulnerable position, satisfying their most primal needs with her damp slit. Sure, she was a tease to them. And sure, she loves a good cock as much as any mare that isn’t a total prude. It really might not have been so bad if she was consenting. But she wasn’t. They weren’t asking for her permission for some fun. They were asking ‘her’ permission. The one of her lovely sister. Well, as close as she was related to that old hag anyway. Now some might wonder how she was in this position again. After all, Celestia didn’t seem as interested in continuing this ‘punishment’. Well, the reason was quite simple. After the day of rape and the cleaning of her body, Celestia came in the next day, acting as if nothing had happened, being as haughty as ever. Seemingly somewhat happy too in a sense. It made Nightmare sick to her stomach. So, first chance she got she spat in her face. Yeah, it is a vile act, but it couldn’t really come close to what Celestia did and felt well deserved. The white pony princess didn’t seem to share that sentiment. At all. Her anger had instantly skyrocketed and in her repeated lapse of judgement she had made an order. A simple excruciating order. She was no citizen of Equestria. So, any guard could act out their interests on her. As long as no permanent damage was made, as she was at least still seen as property of the crown. It was an order they were all too eager to follow. Every. Single. One. Of. Them. No exceptions. Well, Shining Armor didn’t. But he never walked down here anyway. Probably had better things to do, which is quite depressing. Sure, it is good he wasn’t a part of it, but Nightmare still wanted to face the ponies that had helped to lock her up. And he was one of them. But neither him nor Cadance would take any time out of their schedule. As if she wasn’t worth at least checking up on. She was sure to give those two a piece of her mind once she breaks out of here. Though for now… “Stop this at once you peasant!” she snarled. *SNAP!* Her large teeth snapped forward, to the stallion’s head. Albeit the chain around her neck didn’t give her enough movement to really hit him. It was one of many attempts, and while he flinched at it, the dark grey stallion still went on, fucking her sensitive insides to his own satisfaction. “Didn’t you hear?!” she tried yet again, her limbs struggling and the chains clattering. Little good it did besides annoying the guard fucking her. He grunted, driving his pillar of flesh all the deeper into her dark pussy lips, “That is a problem. One day she might actually manage to bite one of us.” The other white guard leaning against the wall blew a raspberry. “Just stay out of reach for now. Me and a few other guards already have an idea for it, so it won’t be a problem for too much longer.” The meaning behind these words was quite clear and Nightmare instantly wondered what they would use to shut her up. She recalled that there were some bit gags back in her time. The only way back then to shut somepony up. Or the most obvious way. Though times have changed and it might as well be something else. An improved version of it. All was possible, but she had of course no time to worry about this now as her well-curved body continued to struggle as her mouth snarled at the stallion. It was a shame really, considering she did have to suppress a moan as his cock was hammering her pussy relentlessly. A pleasant feeling her body naturally reacted to without really having a choice in the matter. It were her instincts at work that made her cunt contract around the cock, seemingly helping to give as much pleasure as she took. And it were those same instincts that made her pussy drool and a river of her arousal flow down her legs to form a puddle of her own shame beneath her. As he pushed into her one final time, she felt his cock pulse, dumping his virile seed into her without any kind of protection or care. A loud pleased groan passed his lips, while a moan left hers. He then pulled out before Nightmare even had a chance to climax. Something that happened often enough as this wasn’t about her pleasure. It was all about theirs. So her marehood could only grip the stallion’s cock tip as if trying to convince it to stay, to no avail. After the dick was pulled out, her pussy then simply winked consistently in her arousal as cum was pumped out from these continuous movements. It splattered on the ground as the stallion grinned, groping her teat with one hoof and kneading it for a moment. Once he was satisfied he turned around and went back outside, his buddy following along. Nightmare was simply left squirming in her juices and the cum of these stallions until the next ones would undoubtedly show up. She could only muster her snarl as her mind was occupied with another being however. Her sister. Nightmare would double down on hurting that cunt. All bets were off now. There would be no holding back. She would torment her, consequences be damned! After all, that old hag couldn’t do anything worse than what she was already doing. > Chapter 6: Nightmare Night what a fright, give Nightmare a cock to bite (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Many more months passed. Princess Celestia herself felt more and more affected by stress. She limited the access to the palace, going as far as to cancel a school trip to the castle gardens. But that didn’t even count the catastrophe that was the Royal Wedding. Shining Armor and Princess Cadance wanted to marry. A nice sentiment that surely would be a pleasant break for her...except it wasn’t. A day before the wedding it turned out that Cadance was replaced by the changeling queen Chrysalis. Luckily her guard captain had noticed this and alarmed everypony before he was knocked out. Then came the invading changeling force. A hard battle was fought between her guards and them, but it was certainly not as hard as her own with the queen. It was straining but in the end she had pushed her back and forced her and her changelings to retreat. Battered and bruised as she was she needed a break for a week to recover from her injuries, not even being able to cast spells on the Nightmare. Furthermore it took a full day to even find the real Princess Cadance, who postponed their marriage for an unforeseen time. She only wanted to get married after Chrysalis was found and brought to justice. Something that did work out just as well as her search for the right spell. There was just no success in sight with the Nightmare situation even after things had settled back down. And while that alone would be enough to wear Princess Celestia’s patience thin, it certainly wasn’t helped by the Nightmare herself, once her mind was back on it. Turned out even after she had recovered, the Nightmare still tried to continuously fool her, play tricks on her, disrespect her… The name calling certainly was offensive enough, though all of it combined was what was grating on her nerves. In turn she encouraged the guards to continue using her, fucking that little hussy maybe even out of her sisters body! It was a nice thought, but of course not a serious one. Things weren’t that easy with this persisting Nightmare. She growled out, slamming the cell door shut after another failed attempt. No surprise of course by now. “Be sure to bring me some sweets for Nightmare Night!” Nightmare called after her, “They certainly are better to be kept with me instead of you and your pudgy flanks!” she jeered, making Celestia’s eye twitch as she ignored yet another insult while walking back towards the throne room. Nightmare Night. A celebration that makes Nightmare out to be the monster she is. And yet, even that thought didn’t lift her mood. Her little ponies at least know to despise her. She stopped in that moment, a certain idea surfacing on her mind as she mulled it over. ‘She would deserve it...’ she pondered, snorting angrily as she was thinking over all of the interactions of the last month. Her head turned to a nearby pony. “Guard. Have Raven meet me in the throne room. I need her help scheduling...an event,” she ordered vaguely. The guard that was priorely standing still saluted and immediately went off. The alicorn continued on as well, heading to the throne room to prepare what was to come. The white mare looked at the Princess over her half-rimmed glasses. It was a look of confusion as well as one of consternation. “I...I’m not sure this is such a good idea princess. If word ever came out…” “It won’t,” Celestia affirmed, by now more than willing to pull fully through with it. Thinking on it, maybe this would break the Nightmare and make it easier to separate her from her sister. Raven could feel the steel in her words, the determination, so she clicked her mouth shut. She opened it again, thinking to maybe just utter the wish to be left out of this, but considered it again for her career and how the clearly unhappy monarch would take it. In the end she simply bowed her head. “As you wish. I will make preparations for it.” Then she left. The princess simply continuing to sit on her throne as she looked out the window and the midday sun. It was rather short-dated, but she believed Raven would be up for the task. If anything she hoped that this would finally teach Nightmare a lesson. It was a faint hope to be sure. But she didn’t care at this point. It was a just punishment for all the torture she was enacting upon her psyche. She wasn’t about to see it, seeing as they had to make sure, it didn’t look like she or anyone in the palace wasn’t involved at all. But she didn’t need to. She would just relax in the evening as it happened. And that would be all that would occupy her mind then. The sun was setting and yet Nightmare wasn’t in her cell. It was a strange thing really. Normally she never left that rotten cell. But for some reason the guards, wearing cloaks instead of armor now, were leading her away. Though still confined by shackles, wings bound and the magic dampening ring on her horn of course. She doubted that they would give her an opportunity to escape. Though right now she was more curious as to what was going on. It couldn’t be anything good. ‘A punishment perhaps? Torture? As much as I have been tearing into little Tia, I am pretty sure it has to be something along those lines.’ A smack with the blunt side of a spear to her rump made her grunt out in surprise and slight pain. “Move prisoner!” the guard in question hissed at her. She wanted to hiss right back. Making that foal piss himself, but...a ring was blocking her mouth that had a ball strapped on top of it. Trying to hiss only would have her make a fool out of herself. And she was too regal and self-respecting to do that. So she harrumphed, keeping their pace to wherever they were heading. There were many twists and turns, all Nightmare memorized in case they come in handy later. And interestingly enough they probably would as a torch was turned to open a secret entrance to steps up and out of the dungeon. They walked right into a house. Rather bland in furniture taste with only the most basic tables and chairs. A white mare with glasses greeted them, floating a piece of cloth in her magic. More precisely a cloak. Nightmare raised a brow as it was pushed on her, disguising herself with it. ‘Curious…’ As soon as she was presentable they ushered her to the back entrance, the new pony taking a look outside, before turning her head to the guards. “You know your tasks. Fix her at the designated place and say your lines. Keep an eye on her and intervene if you must. But I trust that you secure her well enough so that this shouldn’t be an issue.” The guards nodded. “We will.” The white mare nodded back, adjusting her glasses. “Good.” Then without saying anything more opened the door and hurried them outside. And that outside wasn’t the castle grounds. It was Canterlot. And from the looks of it, it was even the outer district with the more poor, or average pony living in it. The guards flanked her now. Touching both her sides with their own. Nightmare might have made a raunchy joke if her mouth wasn’t blocked. Not to mention if these assholes weren’t the ones raping her daily. Still, it was good information to have. And yet, while she wished to simply storm off, she couldn’t. She tested the chains. They made running impossible and were made to withstand the might of an alicorn with the runes and enchantments weaven in on them. Not to mention that the ring weakened her that she couldn’t even bring up her normal alicorn strength in the first place. It was frustrating. But with movement limited and the ring on her horn there was no way for her to do this. At least not right now. She wasn’t keen on finding out why she was here either as she walked past the buildings in the side streets. She could faintly see some lights on the main street though as well as stands. Right. Nightmare Night. ‘Wasn’t that a high risk though for them? The populace would freak if they found out I get walked around their homes like it was a peaceful midnight stroll.’ As the walk went on she noticed that they went further away from the normal festivities. Not meaning that there were no festivities at all. Just that there were no foals present anymore after a while. ‘It is a foals celebration though, isn’t it?’ she wondered before noticing the alcoholic beverages as well as a couple making out in the distance. ‘Ah. So they have a closed-off area for adults for alcohol and to just enjoy each other’s company,’ Nightmare concluded. An interesting idea. And she certainly approved of a more mature approach as well. Back in the day when Nightmare helped Luna get out of her shell, she was quite the party animal herself. If she could she would have sighed wistfully at those times. Times where she saw at least the hope to resolve things peacefully. Well, that was more Luna. But Luna was, at the time, starting to convince her of the good in all ponies. A silly sentiment in hindsight. The world didn’t just up and accept ponies that were different. It never did. And neither did her ‘lovely’ sister. She just noticed that they reached a square. Not too big overall, but big enough for groups of ponies to mingle and have stalls set up. They were actually entering an area with ponies now, instead of the alleys they were in prior to avoid a crowd. But what drew her attention wasn’t the ponies, but what she saw in this square, because in the middle of it was a pillory. It was already open and she was standing shortly before it. Her hooves locked up, but the guards had anticipated that, dragging her fast and inconspicuously into it with her head and front hooves. The upper part came down, locking her in place for whatever vile plans they had. Then the cloak was ripped from her. Loud gasps and murmurs erupted from the ponies around, while a spreading bar was also attached to her hind legs, keeping her immobile. She grunted out some noises of protest through the ballgag, but could do little more than that. Sure, she tried, jerking her neck, head and front legs as she rattled the pillory, but nothing more than rattling in the end. She knew there was no breaking out as the wood didn’t budge. Neither did the strong metal of the spreading bar that was connected to the pillory. Her hind legs were not able to find much room to move even an inch. It wasn’t a surprise, though it still was reason for slight panic and a large heap of anger. Before she could do anything more the disguised guards spoke up. “And now to the main attraction of the night! Some of you might have already heard about it, but we got a changeling here. A shapeshifter that helps us out with this event. So don’t fear, because the true Nightmare Moon is still locked up deeply into the bowels of the castle!” he started off, the ponies becoming slightly more at ease and some also getting curious as well as they whispered and pointed hooves at her. “This changeling agreed to be the more...mature entertainment for tonight. So she took on this form of Nightmare on Nightmare Night, so that you all can show the Nightmare who is boss today! No more do you need to fear Nightmare! Instead you can…” he stopped, before grabbing the dock of her tail and lifting her tail out of the way, “Use her in any way you like!” Another round of loud gasps and whispering. Though Nightmare could hear a few that were clearly excited for it. The majority, actually.. There were some that didn’t seem to like the idea, but those few quickly left the area as the more curious and interested ones stayed, under them some mares as well. Terror seemed to grip Nightmare’s heart. A kinky idea she under other circumstances might enjoy, twisted into this punishment as Celestia clearly wasn’t satisfied enough with just having the guards violate her. She wanted the entirety of Canterlot to do so as well. “With that being said,” the guard continued, letting go of her tail as it pressed tightly between her hind legs again. “As an added bonus, the changeling mare is also into the rougher stuff and roleplay. So she will resist your advances, acting like she doesn’t want it. Though don’t let yourself be deterred by this alluring act. She was excited to do this for weeks. So please enjoy this celebration with all you can as we give a big fuck you to the Nightmare, that won’t disturb our nights any longer!” he hollered out, eliciting some cheers of the crowd. It were only a few at the start, but the cheering was contagious as it quickly increased. Ponies were now animatedly talking but not too many were approaching yet. Though there were some brave few approaching. She couldn’t see it but she could feel some reluctant hooves on her generous rear. The unknown stallion gave a pleased sound at the softness of it, while his teeth sunk into her wavy tail and pulled it from between her legs. She made some more grunts of protest to which the stallion stopped. Though only for a moment before she felt his weight land on her. His throbbing cock settled between her teats, but not for long as he pulled his hips back, trying to aim for her marehood. Some ponies in the crowd let out whoos to encourage him, clearly waiting for the show to start. They didn’t have to wait for long. She felt it a moment later, his tip poking at her slit, before pressing forward, parting her folds and sinking into her. She groaned as she felt herself getting filled once more. A blissful feeling, but one she didn’t ask for. Inch after inch got into her until she felt it all settle in, the medial ring rubbing along her walls. More ponies were cheering as he suddenly started his thrusting. It was a bit clumsily at first. The height difference had his hind legs hanging in the air after all with her standing tall. But he figured it out soon enough. His full balls smacked into her as he humped her, his cock invading her time and time again. Muffled moans escaped her against her will as more and more sparks of pleasure ignited inside of her. The stallion carried on, groaning with a happy smile as he thrust into her, sounds that normally might be cute if the pony wasn’t raping her. Though he didn’t know any better. She knew that, but it was hardly a solace as she felt him pick up speed. His movements became more sloppy as his cock reached far into her, his medial ring scraping along her walls and getting some more moans out of her. Then he came. It certainly didn’t take long for him to do it, considering she herself was still far away from her own climax. It was probably the excitement that drove him over the edge this soon as well as the privilege to have sex with a beauty such as her. She felt the seed spurt, invading her walls. In her mind she wanted to hate this feeling. She hated that it was happening to her, but still, as promiscuous as she was she still derived pleasure from it. The stallion humped into her a few more times, sloshing his load around before his member slowly went flaccid and he pulled out. He practically stumbled off of her, his legs having trouble to stay up as he landed on the ground. Still he managed as he walked off, only for another stallion to walk up. Seeing how the first one had trouble the guards bought a crate from a nearby vendor for stallions to step on. And then there was another weight on her back and a cock rubbing along her pussy. It was wedged between her cheeks, the stallion sighing in clear elation of the feeling as he tested the grip of his hooves on her ass. Then he lifted himself up, standing with his hooves pressed against her flanks. Nightmare wondered what this was about before she heard him say something about lube… She wasn’t quite familiar with that term, so she wasn’t sure. One hoof lifted off her flanks as he did...something. Some slight wet sounds could barely be heard, and then she felt him back on her as the now wet and slightly colt tip pressed against her sphincter. Connecting the dots she knew just what would happen next, but hardly in time as he pressed against her rear entrance. Only a moment later his cock popped in, leaving her to groan muffeldly as her anal walls were stimulated by this new cock. Just like the last one, he didn’t lose any time to get into it. His rock-hard length sliding across her anal walls and teasing her relentlessly. His balls slapped against her pussy, making her wet canal wink in delight as she tried to suppress any pleased sounds she could make. It was at this moment that she heard the guards speak up once more. “No need to be shy! There are more holes than just these two!” he said, coaxing ponies forwards as he pointed to the mouth. Albeit they were quite less enthused about it. While a line had already formed for her behind, that was mainly because it was considered safe. And the ponies knew that she had sharp teeth, so it made the lot of them wary and convinced many of them to go to the line for her behind, rather than risk anything at her front. Still, there were a few desperate enough to not wait in that by now long line. The few that were willing to risk it for the pleasure. Not to mention that the ones leading this event told them it was safe. And seeing as they were told that it was a willing shapeshifter actress… So a blue stallion stepped forward. Seeing as her head was lowered through the pillory access was easier for him. He set his hooves to the side, just as the guard levitated the ball out of her mouth, making it drool as her sharp teeth were held apart by the ring gag. She could smell the stallion with how close his crotch was. Her nostrils flared at the musk as she tried to pull her head back but couldn’t. The only thing she could do was stare wide-eyes as the tip met the ring on her muzzle, before sinking past it and into her moist and warm mouth. “Oooh!” the stallion groaned out as he felt his cock rub along her mouth, feeling it slide along her silky teasing tongue before going further and further and hitting the back of her throat, making her gag. The metal ring made some slight sound as Nightmare actually tried to bite, but it of course didn’t give an inch despite that. All the same the stallion stopped with a slight yelp, but the guard waved it quickly off. “She is a professional. So there is no need to stop. It is just part of the danger, of the Nightmare Moon play. Remember, she specifically asked for this, asked to be tamed,” he said, coaxing him. The stallion seemed to mull it over for a moment before he nodded and pulled a bit back before pressing on. His cockhead pushed against the resistance, before breaking through it and landing in her throat. Nightmare went wide-eyed as the stallion shivered, feeling her gullet clamp all around his meaty rod and massaging it. Pre spilled from his tip and down her belly as he pulled back out to start with his own pace. She could clearly feel it, the cock thrusting in her ass and the one at her head. Both spitroasting her and smacking into her ass and face. The balls on the one she was forced to fellate slapped on her chin with each new dive into her pliable depths. Both stallions groaned, increasing their speed before long as they used her body for their enjoyment. She could feel them deeply, her ass stretching around the one hammering her ass while her throat bulged from the one on her front. She could only give muffled sounds of protests at this treatment as well as the occasional moan as she felt her marehood heat up. The stimulation she felt from the stallion having a go at her ass and the musk slowly wearing her body’s defences down, increasing her lust, was taking its toll on her. She felt the ecstasy with each thrust, the pleasant shivers his actions on her sensitive anal walls created. And this excitement she felt. The excitement she tried to hold back, but couldn’t manage completely, only spurred the two stallions on even more. Out of the corner of her eye she could see the line of eager ponies steadily growing as well. Some even touching themself and watching her, eyeing her hungrily. It reminded her of her contingency plan. And its effect. Her last defence. Though it might backfire on her for this moment, it also gave her hope for the future. Hope even in this hopeless situation. A grim determination as she was facefucked by complete strangers, unaware of her plight. As the stallion finally came and nutted in her ass she felt her own orgasm crashing down on her as well. She screamed on the cock in her mouth as her pussy gushed with her juices while she felt the ropes of salty spunk soaking into her anal walls. Then just as he became soft and pulled out the one at her face was close all the same. The length throbbing while her hind legs still shook from her previous high. He pulled out until only his tip rested inside her and then fired his own thick seed on her tongue. She could taste it. The tangy and salty sperm of this unknown stallion as he grunted and his balls contracted, wanting to empty every drop inside her. As she didn’t drink it, the salty load spilled out of her mouth and down her chin, splattering wetly on the floor. It run down on her in thick rivulets, as she felt the hot seed tickling along her neck and where it met the pillory. Her lips were slimy with its sticky substance, tainted with its filth. The stallion didn’t seem to care as he pulled out with a happy sigh. Nightmare’s marehood ached by this point, her own aroused body hard to suppress. But the aching was abided a moment later as a new stallion suddenly plunged into her dripping marehood. The dark mare cried out just as another stallion stepped forward, his hot shaft throbbing under his barrel and clearly ready to feed it to her. A sound of protest came from her muzzle but was quickly muffled by his dick. Both stallions instantly pounded her, leaving no chance for her to protest. The guards simply stood idly by the side, making sure that none of the ponies would get into any fights while waiting in line as they nonchalantly waited for it all to end. And so it continued. As soon as a stallion was finished another took its place. A seemingly never-ending circle of debauchery. Nightmare lost track at some point as hours continued on with her being helplessly strapped in the stocks until it would end. Night has already fallen and there was no end to it. Only more ponies eager to have fun with the Nightmare and conquer their fear. So she could do little more than take it, waiting for it to end. Celestia sighed in satisfaction. She just had left the royal bath. Balm for her poor soul and something she desperately needed as she walked to her room, where she stored her regalia in for the time. A towel hang around her neck as she lightly rubbed it against a wet spot on her cheek. Best of all, the latest report stated that all was well with Nightmare. Her punishment was working out splendidly. No escape attempts. No suspicion from the populace. The white mare smirked in smug satisfaction. ‘A punishment long overdue for this raunchy monster.’ Her magic wrapped around the doors to her spacious room, opening it up and revealing the seating area with couches and a fireplace, as well as the large four poster bed. She strolled in casually and shut the door right behind her. The warm fire her maids had started feeling warm on her coat as she settled down on the couch nearest to the fireplace. The warmth soaked into her, making her sigh once more in clear happiness. But it was a fleeting feeling as some unease settled over her suddenly. Her neck snapped behind her, only to see a dark corner, where the fire didn’t reach. Though that corner wasn’t empty as a tall and lithe figure suddenly emerged from it. Green venomous eyes opened, revealing some dangerous slits. A fanged smile on the beings lips that oozed arrogance. “Hello, Princess~” > Chapter 7: Deals Made > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Celestia’s breathing stopped for but a moment as she beheld the dark, thin form before her, with her wickedly gleaming green eyes. “Chrysalis!” she hissed, her body turning into motion as she lowered her horn and took on a fighting stance. The Changeling Queen simply rolled her eyes. “I wouldn’t do that if I were you. Especially since I know your little secret~” she hissed in clear delight, making the white Alicorn hesitate, her horn dimming as she gazed at the changeling monarch hesitantly. “And prey tell, what would this secret be?” “Your endeavors to get rid of the Nightmare. And more specifically your lie that Nightmare Moon isn’t just getting raped by the entire populace of the town, but that it is just the roleplay of a changeling,” she tutted belittlingly, “You were a naughty mare indeed. Did you really think I wouldn’t immediately get notified once there was word spreading about a supposed ‘changeling’ in your town cooperating with ponies?” The white mare grit her teeth as she thought those words over. It should have occurred to her that mentioning this bugs’ race in this plan might attract her attention. It should have occurred to her that the Changeling Queen would try to use this situation to her advantage. And yet, she wasn’t thinking about it as she made this plan on a whim, this punishment for Nightmare Moon. Her judgement was clouded in her rush to push through with this. ‘How foolish I was.’ Celestia glared up at her foe fiercely, “And what do you plan to do with this information? You have no proof, have you? And no pony would believe such a vile being like you anyway.” It was a clear challenge, and it was a challenge the Queen all too happily accepted as she grinned widely, showing off her sharp fangs. “I’m so glad you ask~ While I certainly would have trouble procuring proof for this, I don’t need to. After all, don’t you think that a race of shapeshifters that is specialized in deceiving their prey could sow doubt into the hearts of your weak-willed ponies?” While Celestia scowled, she knew that Chrysalis had a point. Rumors spread fast and wide once uttered. And while it may be discarded by some, many others might think on it and the strange coincidence of having a changeling posing as Nightmare Moon in Canterlot of all places. “What is it that you want Chrysalis?” “Love~” she hissed with an evil grin. “More precisely I want one hundred ponies as livestock to feed my hive. It is as easy as that. Don’t conform to this and I might just let some information leak~” Celestia stomped her hoof loudly, the floor cracking as she glared at the bug before her. “This is unacceptable! I should just deal with you now and be done with it. After all, you were stupid enough to come here in pony!” While the pristine Alicorn expected any number of responses, from a fighting stance, to a snarl, she didn’t expect to hear her chuckle in clear amusement as she made no move to actually prepare to defend herself. “You are way too naive, Princess. This body is just a drone I hijacked for this meeting. With other words, you could kill this body and I would still roam free. That you even thought I would take such a risk and face you without a plan was quite foolish of you. With that being said. 120 ponies, seeing how uncooperative you are. Either that or your reputation will be ruined. And you wouldn’t want that, would you? Thousands years of rule. To establish yourself as the perfect being. Almost like a comforting mother figure. And now it will all crumble if you don’t bow down to my will. How delightful~” She wanted to retort, beat that changeling black and blue, but knew very well what position she was in. She tried to think of any possibility to turn this outcome in her favor. As cornered as she was, she knew that she of course couldn’t give her any of her ponies to be used in such a gruesome way. Her mind spun, thinking on what else she could do as the Queen spoke up once more. “You know, it is really quite foolish that you went this far. Especially since your excuse was quite pathetic. If you had the potion for it, that might be a different story, but as it stands-” “Potion?” Celestia asked, her eyes meeting the Queen’s in a questioning gaze. The changeling Queen snorted, “Well, I suppose it can’t harm to tell you, seeing as we aren’t using it anyway. Not to mention that only changelings can procure the ingredients to actually mix it. In short, we have a potion with which we could turn ponies into other ponies, to put it in laylings terms. So, giving them a limited ability to change to a specific form...what are you thinking?” she asked, seeing a hopeful look on the princess’s face emerge. A look that made the changeling monarch feel sick to her stomach. “Say...changelings also have the ability to form the mind, don’t they?” Chrysalis eyed her now warily, almost wanting to take a step back. “That is none of your concern, even if it was so. Now to the livesto-” “Forget the livestock. I...I have a different deal for you.” “..:A different deal you say? What could you possibly offer me that is more valuable than 120 ponies to feed my hive?” “I offer you...the integration into Equestrian Society.” Chrysalis was silent. She was dumbfounded. Something she didn’t think possible. She didn’t think that there was such an outcome as this. Especially right after she inspected the crystal caverns beneath Canterlot for her future plans and just by coincidence managed to find out about this whole Nightmare rape affair. And now with this impromptu blackmail scheme turning around to new unprecedented levels...To have the famous Princess of the Sun offer something this...strange. And yet, it picked the Queen’s interest. It was something that had never been on the table before. Ponies hunted Changelings and otherwise. Heck, she had information that some of the ponies were right now going quite hard at it with the Nightmare, not only because they roleplay, but also because they think Nightmare is a changeling. So there is a lingering hostility there in the first place. The only reason the ponies didn’t get too violent with her was because of the offered sex...still strange how raunchy these ponies in Canterlot are all of a sudden. Not that it mattered as she had a deal to think over. Or as to what Celestia wanted in return for this. “And what is it that you want in return for that?” Chrysalis asked, sceptically. “I...I want the potion. Lots of it as well as your full support to mentally adjust...Nightmare Moon.” Now the changeling Queen stepped back, realization hitting her like a train as she looked at the white Alicorn in shock. “You...You want me to brainwash Nightmare Moon into believing she is your sister, to practically turn Nightmare into her?” she said, asking for clarification if she really just understood it right. And much to her shock the princess nodded. “I do.” “You do understand what you ask, don’t you? If this ever comes out you will be ruined, which normally is fine with me. After all, a weakened enemy is a good enemy. But seeing as you right now ask to integrate the changelings, if it came out, it would backfire on me too and this novel integration plan.” “Then we just have to make sure it won’t come out and manipulate any source of information in our favor. So, do you accept?” The determination was clearly heard in that last answer. This was no joke. Celestia was completely serious. “Integration...So you would help to keep us fed. All changelings. But do you really think you are even capable of doing that? Of integrating us into your flowery, weak little society?” she snarked, rolling her eyes as she imagined it. Changelings were more rough in nature, a bit like the other races. Ponies...they were easy beings to pick on, but also still rather hostile to anything non-pony. It seemed like a conundrum really. “I will do it. I will personally keep you fed as well as any changeling, as long as you don’t harm any of my ponies. So...will you accept it now? Or would you rather prefer I hunt you and your race down personally?” Chrysalis scoffed, “You sure can try, but...your offer is worthy enough for me to accept it. At least if you hold up your end of the bargain. You feed the changelings and…’integrate’ them. In return I will see that you have that pesky sister of yours returned.” “It’s a deal then,” Celestia said, a slight smile forming on her lips as she stepped closer and held out her hoof. Chrysalis eyed it warily, but after a moment lightly set her own black hole-riddled one against it, shaking on the arrangement just made. If something went wrong she could just backstab Celestia. It would be much easier to do with access to the palace as well. But for now she would lend her her aid. She would see where this peculiar road leads her. She would see what the future will hold. > Chapter 8: A Society Build > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chrysalis and Celestia were sitting in a meeting room around a round table. It was such an awkward sight for any to see. Especially with them sitting right next to each other as if they were old friends. The changeling queen fidgeted about, glancing nervously around, waiting for the rest of their group to arrive. After all, they were going to plan this out with all necessary parties involved...including Shining Armor and...Cadance. Oh yeah, this wasn’t going to end well. She still remembered that pink maniac screaming bloody murder as she was imprisoned in the crystal caverns, plus...it probably didn’t help that Shining lost his virginity to her. Shining Armor… It was a strange thing. She was so eager to follow along with her plan when it started, when she replaced Cadance. Worse of all, her mind control wasn’t working perfectly either, as if something was already meddling in his mind, or maybe with her magic. Still, as a proud queen she pushed through it, but it required her to play her role even more convincingly. It was hard, and Shining noticed her behavior too, encouraging her to be her ‘true self’. Quite ironic as that statement was, seeing as she was actually hiding her race and identity from him, and not some character flaw.  How laughable that was. He would surely flee in terror if she showed it to him. Despite that she actually followed along with it partly, letting out her more demanding side. Her more haughty side. Shining poked a bit of fun at her, trying to get her to relax more back then. And while she grumbled about it, he still seemed to somewhat like her sassy ways. He wasn’t annoyed when she gave a sarcastic reply, or yelled back at her when she was yelling at him for his terrible fashion sense when it came to what he wanted to wear at the wedding. They somehow...worked. Strange as it was. She soon found herself enjoying his presence, just letting out all her frustration but also everything else. She showed her innermost self to him and he wasn’t pushing her away. She had to have him. So she did something reckless. She dragged him into the bedroom and rode him so long until her hips went sore. Her excuse for it was that this would be the best way of mind control, seeing as her usual one wasn’t working fast enough on him. Sure, she was making progress, but he was hardly in a zombie like state, like a good willing drone...though she also at this point didn’t exactly wanted him to be like that. And then, one night everything went wrong. She had dropped her disguise and was down in the large living room of her suite, to talk with one of her drones to make the last preparations before the big day. But Shining had woken up. A dumb thing to happen really, but she got cocky. After having worn him out with sex, she thought he would just lay still and snore loudly like he usually did. But judging from that boner he donned after finding her in her true form, he seemed to have had a wet dream that had awoken him. Not to mention that he had heard everything. All of her plans. It made her feel dumb, though she wasn’t about to admit that out loud. At this moment she expected him to yell at her, curse her, attack her, but...he just wanted to talk to her. Heck, he even tried to convince her to stop her plans and to talk it all over with Celestia. She couldn’t. She refused. There was a responsibility as a leader. Not to mention that she wasn’t about to trust Princess Celestia just like that. It was a nice thought still and she had almost agreed too. But her priorities were straight. So she fired a spell and knocked him out, but not before he fired a flare out of the window. She could feel the regret of doing that even now. The regret of not taking up the offer as she ordered the invasion in the middle of the night, before Celestia found her and challenged her to a duel. Not that it went well for her as she had to flee. Still, she got some pretty decent shots in despite that, making her swell with pride. Or would have if Shining’s face wasn’t flashing in front of her mind's eye. It was a ridiculous little thing. To feel nervous and having a light aching in her chest, thinking on their reunion that would happen today. Would he finally hate her today? Would he act polite for the sake of his Princess? What was she even hoping for? She wanted to groan and hammer her head on the table, but for the sake of keeping up appearances she couldn’t. That fat-flanked princess next to her would probably just poke fun at her. And she really didn’t need any of that. So she tried to distract herself instead. Her head turned over to the pristine white mare. She was still as a statue, showing that she was quite skilled in keeping up appearances, despite clearly having flipped with Nightmare, considering the Nightmare Night order she had put out. “Any name you are giving this little group you are building? Not that it really matters, but it would be an important bit of information to have.” The princess looked at her partner in crime, mulling her answer over for a moment. “Well, the name of it is The Society.” “Wait, hold up. You are telling me that the name of the society we are founding here is...The Society? You have a terrible naming sense, Celestia,” Chrysalis pointed out as Celestia huffed indignantly. “...It’s a work-in-progress.” “Uh-huh,” the changeling queen said, clearly not convinced as she raised a brow, before shaking her head. “Well, as long as you don’t break into song about it.” It was in that moment that the door to the meeting room opened, as both Shining Armor and Princess Cadance entered. “Alright, Auntie, just what is that important at this time of-” Princess Cadance said casually. At least before she noticed the big changeling in the room. “CHRYSALIS!” she screamed, lighting up her horn, but Celestia expected that and flashed in front of the mare in an instant. Her hoof reached out, flicking Cadence’s horn, and making her gasp in pain as she held her head. “A-Auntie? W-What are you doing! C-Chrysalis is-” “Actually our ally, for now,” Celestia replied. She wanted to say friend, albeit after the disaster with Nightmare she didn’t feel like the word held as much meaning as it used to. The Princess then continued. “Which is what this meeting is for. At least one part of it. So I won’t tolerate any of your foalish tantrums today.” “Tantrum?! She imprisoned me and invaded Canterlot!” “Yes. And while I do understand the weight of that crime, nothing is earned by exacting revenge on her. Besides that, there were no deaths on that day either way.” Cadance’s eyes narrowed, “What are we earning exactly, aunt?” she asked, the last word now spit like venom. Celestia gave her niece a fierce glare, “That is what we are discussing right now. So sit down and listen as we explain the situation.” Both alicorns held their glares for a moment before Cadance avoided her eyes. She hesitated for a moment but sat on the opposite side of the table, as far away from the changeling queen as she could. Shining looked at this situation unsurely as his eyes roamed from his soon-to-be wife to Chrysalis and then to Celestia, before he followed along, choosing a seat next to Cadance. His look stayed uncertain, as if he had an inner turmoil, not sure how to quite react, which was a fair enough thing to feel for him. The pristinely white alicorn nodded to herself in satisfaction as she got back to her seat. Once all were seated Shining Armor cleared his throat. “So, I am curious. What deal have you two agreed on?” “It is less of a deal and more of a contract. We are building a society with a certain goal in mind that will benefit both parties equally.” Chrysalis then jumped in, “The overarching goal is ‘Peace’. Though one could also argue that ‘Integration into Society’ works just as well, seeing how that holds true for both parts of the deal.” “Integration into society?” Shining Armor wonders, “I understand the changelings, but who would it be on our...Nightmare Moon.” Princess Cadance slammed her hooves loudly on the table. “So you are telling me that you will integrate those...bugs into Equestria, just so you have a chance at getting your sister back. And that somehow only these things can help with that?” “Exactly, my dear niece. It is a simple exchange on both sides. The changelings will be fed and introduced to Equestria as citizens and allies, while they are providing a shapeshifting potion and the necessary…mental adjustion that Nightmare needs.” Silence encompassed the room for about half a minute as the implications were slowly sinking in. Shining Armor hereby was the first one to express his thoughts. “Mind Magic…” he muttered. A forbidden magic. A magic that wasn’t supposed to be cast by any pony in Equestria. At least the one they were talking about now. Contrary to popular belief, there were a few exceptions of ‘forbidden magic’ that were deemed by Princess Celestia herself to be mostly harmless. Cadance’s love magic as one example. Celestia after all couldn’t lock up her own niece. But this. This was far into forbidden territory as the goal was to rewrite the mind of a living being completely. To bury her old self and use it as a foundation for a delusion. A fake persona. Under normal circumstances there was no justification for this, and yet Shining Armor tried not to be too judgemental on the matter. He had seen Celestia’s deteriorating mental strength over the months. He knew she just wanted her sister back, which was understandable. He would go to extreme lengths as well for Twilight. And loathe as he was to admit it, there didn’t seem to be any way to purge the Nightmare from her sister’s body. Of course his fiance had a slightly different stance. “Are you bucking kidding me! What you are doing is despicable! Just as despicable as the race who is capable of it and who gave you this idea in the first place!” “Hey! I will let you know that it was her idea to begin with! Just as well as the integration of the changelings!” Chrysalis defended, as Cadance looked incredulously to her aunt. “She is joking, right?” the pink alicorn asked her aunt in a serious tone of voice, however, much to her shock the latter nodded. “It was my idea. And it is an idea that we won’t overturn.” “Well, I won’t agree to any of this madness! Changelings need to be taken care off! And to use their vile magic for something as despicable as this is something I won’t allo-” “ENOUGH!” Celestia finally bellowed, standing up. “I didn’t request you here to ask for your permission! I requested you here to inform you of what will happen and to have you join in on the efforts!” Cadance shook from the volume of the Royal Canterlot Voice, and maybe also a bit because of fear. Though that quickly vanished as her face turned defiant and she stood up to face her aunt. “Then you can do it without me!” she bellowed back, albeit in a normal shouting voice before quickly turning tail and storming outside. Shining was about to stand up, but Celestia’s voice halted him. “Leave her be. We still have more to talk about. You can convince her to join still later. You aren’t as averse to the plan as her after all, are you?” “I...I understand your intention and accept your decision,” he stated, bowing his head. Celestia nodded to herself, “Good. Now let’s continue.” With that, plans were refined, ideas swapped and approvals given as The Society was formed. An unlikely alliance forged for the most unlikely of causes. And yet they felt hopeful enough. Hopeful that maybe this would turn their life around. To turn it into a different direction that fate had in store for them. > Chapter 9: Reconnection and Separation > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Almost two hours later they were done working out the points on paper. The structure was there now as well as the details needed. For now it was determined that changelings would live in disguise under the populace without exception. Shining Armor didn’t seem too happy with that and he voiced that much. The Princess did of course convince him to give up that position. At least for now and the near future. Obviously there would be great conflict if they just up and went around undisguised. It would have to be done sneakily as well. Migrating a few here and there instead of a large mass. Just to slowly push them in. Though all of them had to be registered with their location. A network for that needed to be built, meaning Canterlot was the first city that would invite them, with others slowly following along. A slow approach. But one that Chrysalis expected. This was going to be difficult. She was still going along with it of course, though her mood was a bit more muted for now. The changeling queen stretched her neck a bit from the long sitting, relieving a blissful crack before standing up. “If there is nothing else, I will return to my quarters for now.” “Actually,” Shining piqued up, “I think it is good manners for me as Guard Captain to show you around the palace.” That made the changeling queen raise a surprised brow at him. She was about to call out that she did know her way around the castle, because of the invasion incident, but then decided to play along, if just to see what he was planning. She also might have liked the idea of spending some time with him, despite it also making her slightly nervous, considering they went apart in a manner that wasn’t quite perfect. Still, queen she was, she wouldn’t show weakness by avoiding him. If there was something he wanted to say, she would take it head on. “Very well then. Lead the way, captain.” Shining smiled happily at this and nodded before leading her out. Princess Celestia watched this curiously, but shrugged it off for the moment, choosing to ignore it for now. Chrysalis hummed thoughtfully as he led her to the garden, stopping and waving his hoof around. “The royal garden. A plethora of many flowers and plants grow here, not to mention the special part of it with many exotic animals, as skittish as they may be,” he explained naturally. “Fascinating,” she said with thickly dripping sarcasm, rolling her eyes. “But I doubt you lured me out here in the night to tell me things I already know.” Shining turned to her, but instead of anger or disapproval he had a melancholic smile. It surprised her and made her heart skip a beat. “W-What are you gawking at!” she growled, but despite her sharp teeth and threatening posture, the foal didn’t even flinch. Worst of all, she felt a light blush emerging on her face. “Oh, nothing,” he said all too innocently. “Just thinking how it is still you. How you haven’t changed at all. I kinda missed that.” The proud queen shook her head, “Just what are you saying Shining? Haven’t changed? You are aware that we never really interacted like this. That you never really talked casually with a changeling queen in front of you.” “But I did,” he pressed, “Sure, you were a bit more pink, but it was still you. Or do you want to tell me that you weren’t the mare that was purring like a little kitten when I brushed her mane at night?” A loud embarrassed groan escaped her, making her want to either tear him apart, or hide behind her hooves. She wasn’t quite sure. The former after all would make a big mess and cause her troubles with Celestia. “I thought we agreed to never talk about this again!” “We did. At least if it was you.” She let loose a slight growl, “Fine then. We were chatting things up before, sleeping in the same bed and going on dates additionally, if that makes you oh so happy to hear! Honestly, saying these sappy things makes me want to puke!” Shining smiled happily. Something that made the changeling queen not happy at all. At least mostly. She still felt an infernal small part of her blooming at seeing his foalishly joyful expression. A foal that he most certainly was from the many days she had spent with him. “Anything else? Or are you just here to degrade me, because I actually came back to do things your way? If so, I will just leave now,” she told him with some bite, turning around and ready to walk off, but Shining quickly followed after her. “Wait!” he told her, going around her and standing directly in his way. The stallion looked at her with a contrite smile, seeming sad. A sadness that reminded her of that fateful day. The day her plans crumbled to dust. “I...I’m sorry, Chrysalis.” Strange words. These were such strange words to hear. Words she never heard from a pony said to her in her true form. Words so genuine, and yet so delicate. It made her even more sick. So she snarled. “For what?! Just what is your endgame here?!” “To reconcile,” he stated determined, pressing on, one hoof stepping forward, in spite of her venomous dripping fangs bared before him. Surprised by his naive answer as she was, she held her tongue as the stallion in front of her pressed on. “I want to reconcile with you. And I apologize for not talking to you sooner and for only offering my hoof when it was too late.” Chrysalis rubbed her temples, she felt a headache coming in. “Are you even listening to what you are saying? I bet your lovely fiance would tan your hide for this alone. Not only because you are saying it to a changeling, but also because that very changeling imprisoned her and then robbed you of your first time. And despite all this, despite how even a foal can see just what a horrible idea this is, you still want to reconcile and act like nothing bad happened?” Shining Armor nodded resolutely. “Pretty much.” The changeling queen just stared at him in disbelief for a long moment, before her lips cracked into a smile and a snort escaped her, though she quickly covered it up with a hoof to her face. “You are the dumbest specimen that ever crossed my path, you know that?” The stallion in question puffed his chest out. “I aim to please!” “That is not a compliment you foal!” she chastised him good-naturedly, shoving his side. She chuckled. It was a sound she didn’t want to let her lips escape, but in this moment it felt great doing so. Shining joined as well, seeing the humor in their little back-and-forth. It held on for almost a minute, the mirth in the air palpable, going as far as even giving the changeling tears at the edge of her eyes that she wiped away with a hoof. “I missed this,” he suddenly said, smiling at her once more. Chrysalis avoided her eyes as she scraped her hoof along the ground. “I guess...I did miss it too. To not have a reliable servant like you by my side,” she added the last part in quickly as an afterthought. No intention to go too soft on him right now. ‘And yet, it was this softness and acceptance that was drawing me in to begin with. A weakness which in turn weakened me. Makes me sometimes wonder who the fool really was in the end.’ She then smirked at him. ‘And yet he is too innocent. So I would say he got a lot to learn from me as well. I should return the favor. Teach him, strengthen him, make him mine.’ Her tail swished a bit eagerly as she sidled up to him. “I accept your request for reconciliation, Shining Armor. Even more so as I will now need a guard for this prolonged stay. If you have time freed up in your schedule, you best make sure to keep it open for me.” He leaned his head to her cheek, nuzzling her. “I will do that then. Don’t want to anger a foreign diplomat after all.” She nodded haughtily, “You don’t. I can be rather demanding after all.” “Oh, I am well aware,” he told her with a smile. A smile she returned as their heads turned towards each other. Chrysalis could practically feel the heat from his body and the soft warmth of his fur on her chitin. A new experience, albeit a welcome one that she felt like she could get used to, and with how he looked at her, he could get used to it either. Seeing this, she couldn’t help but smirk smugly in triumph. Her head darted forward, meeting his soft white lips. He didn’t pull back, or flinch, much to her surprise, but accepted it, pressing softly back as if to give his approval of this. A strange stallion indeed. Though she hopes he wouldn’t just kiss any maid that willingly back either. Otherwise she would be quite displeased. It was a fleeting thought though and in this moment, it didn’t hold any weight. The only weight that mattered was the one on her lips. So she basked in it, just like the stallion, unaware of the pink form, glaring at her from a balcony. Shining Armor’s trotted up to his and Cadance’s room, an elated skip in his step. His reconciliation with Chrysalis went really well. Even more so than he had imagined. It laid his fears to rest. There was after all the possibility that she would blow him off and keep a distance between them. A distance he wouldn’t have liked at all. The changeling mare with all her flaws and quirks was for him delightful to be around. It was something he wanted to have back. This notion of course wouldn’t make his life easier. Even less since he did harbor romantic feelings for her. But herds were a thing, so he hoped he could get Cadance to become accepting of Chrysalis over time. It would be the ideal situation...at least if he could get the pink mare to let go of her grudge. She was imprisoned by changelings, so it was understandable, but Cadance brought this to xenophobic levels. There was a hatred inside her that he had tried to soothe for months with no result. Another one of his worries he would have to face now that Chrysalis is back and doesn’t have to face any punishment. Something that does rile up Cadance even further, no doubt. A formal apology of Chrysalis to Cadance is in order. It might not solve this, but it at least would be a first step in the right direction. And they had to start somewhere. Chrysalis wouldn’t be going anywhere in the near future. If they didn’t work things out, chances are one of them will blow up and do something they will all regret. And right now he has a feeling his fiance would be the one that does the exploding. Despite that he was hopeful as he reached their room, pushing the door open and allowing himself into the luxurious wide living room with an adjacent kitchen room that was open. Stairs led up to a higher elevated area that oversaw their accommodations. Doors to a large bath were right between the stairs and beneath the open bedroom. “I’m back, Cadance!” he called out, his eyes scanning the room to find his pink mare. It didn’t take long as she was laying on the couch disgruntled, glaring at him. He cocked his head to the side, having a slightly apprehensive feeling. “Cadance? You alright?” The pink mare snorted, “Am I alright?” she echoed, her scowl only deepening. “I am not alright! How could I be alright! With her! And with you!” The white stallion took a step back at the outburst, planting his derriere on the ground and lifting his hooves in a placating manner. “Woah, woah, woah, Cadance! What has gotten into you?” “The more accurate question is, what has gotten into YOU!” she growled, standing up from the couch. “I saw you and Chrysalis. How you were all ‘friendly’ with each other and the k-... k-...k-...” she started, but couldn’t really say the word. Shining for his part cringed at that. This was not a good way to introduce the topic. “Well, she did. I-I mean, Chrysalis is an affectionate mare, once you get to know her and I am sure you would have a blast with her if you gave her a chance,” he argued. But it only fell on deaf ears as he saw the sheer unbridled rage in her eyes. “Giving her a chance?! Has she brainwashed you again?!” she screeched, horn aglow as it swept over the stallion, but she couldn’t detect any changeling influence. “Cadance! You can’t just use magic to scan me like this! I thought you are trusting me!” “Oh, you mean the stallion that is out and about letting mares kiss him? I think not! And the fact that I can’t detect her vile magic and what you say is something you do with your own words makes it even worse! She is a changeling Shining! A love-sucking monster! And yet you defend her and the entirety of her wretched race! Aunt Celestia is crazy enough as it is in her desperation to get anything back resembling her sister, so much so that she is even willing to invite a gang of timberwolves over for dinner! I don’t need you spouting naive tales about how monsters can live together with ponies in peace!” Taken aback by her words, Shining stepped back, but Cadance simply took a step forward, to keep their distance short as she gave him a disapproving determined stare. He shook his head, trying to comprehend just what she was saying. What this pink mare was saying. The pink mare what was supposed to be his fiance. He knew she was mad, but like this, in her rage, he hardly could recognize her. Scratch that. He couldn’t recognize anything of the mare he fell once in love with. ‘Just what happened to you Cadance? Where did I go wrong?’ In spite of asking this question, he already knew. The foalnapping. Her imprisonment. His lack of action despite the feeling something was different. “I’m sorry Cadance. I am really sorry that happened to you. It was not fair to you and it hurt you. But I need you to trust me. We can build a great future together. But for that you need to think more clearly. Revenge will only bring destruction to an entire race. A race that doesn’t consist of monsters. They are like us, but they just don’t know how to create bonds yet. But you, Cadance, the Princess of all things Love can help them. You can help the changelings grow. Become an accepted race among ponykind. Friends and lovers alike. With your help we can manage to do something great. And I cannot do it alone. Please, Cadance. Can you give me your hoof in support and marriage?” he asked her with a hopeful but remorseful look as he walked up the last of the distance and reached out his hoof in friendship and love. And then Cadance slapped it away. The smack was loud as it was painful, Shining Armor wincing at the throbbing in his fetlock. His eyes turned up to his fiance, a sneering mask of rage. “Oh, buck off!” she snarled hatefully, “‘It was not fair to you’,” she mockingly mimicked his voice, “You are right, Shining! It wasn’t! None of it was. It wasn’t fair to have you enjoy your days with this bitch while I was trapped in a dirty crystal cavern! That you loved her and cared for her! And that you had that magical first time with her! But no, that isn’t even the point here! You aren’t able to listen to the easiest of things! Changelings! Are! Love-sucking! Monsters! They have no business in a pony society! And now get out! And don’t come back until you come back to your senses!” she told him coldly, pointing to the double doors of her room. Shining Armor looked at her saddened, before lowering his head and heaving a sigh. He turned around and walked out of the doorway, not turning back as the doors closed behind him. The Princess held her glare until he was out. Once he was she walked around and threw herself belly-first on the couch, burying her head in a pillow. Steaming hot tears escaped her. She was sad, she was mad, she was frustrated, and yet she wasn’t regretful. She meant what she said. Changelings were a threat. As a Princess it was her duty to keep ponies safe first and foremost, not changelings. And if she ever had any kind of naivete on the subject, it was drained from her during the imprisonment. So she just laid like that by her lonesome. But her thoughts didn’t stay idle for long. Celestia’s plan came to her mind. A disgusting plan she needed to stop. She needed to pull all of her political influence, all the weight her small crown could carry and if need be take more drastic measures. With that thought in mind she drifted off to sleep, not at all looking forward to the upcoming day. The next day came all too soon and Celestia knew something was wrong. Cadance wasn’t there for breakfast, nor was she there for lunch. To be fair, neither Shining Armor nor Queen Chrysalis were. It made her huff. If necessary she would have to make those mandatory. If only to make sure their society would work. It all depended on Cadance of course. Shining Armor and Chrysalis were on board. She wondered if the captain could manage to talk some sense into her. This after all was important. And having Cadance as an enemy in this was unacceptable to her. She didn’t need another alicorn defying her within these very walls. There was a bit of trepidation settling in her stomach, but she steeled herself. She was the Ruler of Equestria. She would handle this. With a confident nod she finished up all ner necessary duties as it got closer to evening. Hopefully everypony would have cooled off by now. It was barely an hour later that she was back in the meeting room. And only a short time crossed following that before the next arrivals made their way in. Shining Armor and Queen Chrysalis came hereby in at the same time, curiously enough. Her eyebrow rose a bit as she watched them take their seats quietly, only exchanging a simple greeting with her, leaving only one mare missing. Barely a minute later the doors slammed open and Cadance walked in. Her stare was hard and her steps clacked noisily along the marble floor. “Cadance,” Celestia nodded to her. The pink alicorn didn’t even acknowledge it. This action was already making the white mare taken aback. It was rather disrespectful and quite unlike her. She stood on the opposite site of the table, her gaze sweeping over the two beings sitting beside her. “Cadance!” Shining Armor started, but she just scowled at him. “This is not the time for it Shining.” There was a clear edge to her words before her eyes fixed on the regal ruler of Equestria. “Not the time, you say?” Celestia started as she steeled her own gaze. She wasn’t about to be cowed by her. A mare that had never in her life ruled anything of importance, or had to fight any real horrors. The foalnapping being the only exception of her having a hardier experience. “Does this mean, you made a decision?” she asked further. Not that there needed to be any inquiries with the clear defiance she displayed. “I did make a decision. I am against this, just as much as I was yesterday. What you are doing is reckless, Celestia. You are endangering ponies. Just for some vague hope. A selfish personal wish.” “It is better for Equestria if Princess Luna returns. So it hardly is selfish,” she argued right back, her stare only hardening at the slight insult. “Still, your worry is acknowledged. Now be a good mare and sit down, if you don’t have anything else to say, so we can get back to it.” Cadance was appalled by that notion, stomping her hoof. “Did you even listen? I openly veto this proposal with my power as a princess!” She only got an disbelieving stare from Celestia in turn. “Do you now? I think, I need to set some things right. This is not your decision to make, Cadance. I ruled Equestria for far longer than you have even lived. So don’t even think for a second I am asking for permission from you. It is already decided. The only question that remains is, if you will sit on the table while I am finalizing it or not.” “B-But-!” “No buts. You may be a princess, but you are without land to rule. Therefore you have no political influence in this matter.” Cadance grit her teeth as she stared at her aunt and mentor. The mare who had guided her and now disregarded her opinion in her mad chase of her sister. She opened her mouth, but no words came out, because what could she even say that would reach her? In what way could she convince a mare with simple words that was so stuck in her desperation. There was no reason she would listen to. And there was no pony to support her. No, not even Shining Armor was on her side in this. There was no other choice. No fair route for he to take. ‘If that is how it is, then I can only play dirty,’ the mare admitted to herself. If she wanted to act the part of a princess and protect the citizens from a once so beneficial ruler, there was no way she could stay on the righteous path. No speech was grand enough to sway her. She didn’t like it, but she needed to do what was best. “If that is how it is going to be…” she started, her heart hammering in her chest, but her resolve absolute as she glared at the white alicorn mare, “...then I will have to spread this news amongst the populace of Canterlot. To spread how you have gone mad and want to bring changelings into their homes in secret and destroy Equestria in the process.” “Cadance! You can’t do this!” Shining Armor cried out in protest as he stood up. Chrysalis stood up as well, surprised by how far this pink alicorn was willing to go. “I can and I will! You two leave me with no other choice!” Celestia chuckled. It was a frail and almost broken thing. One could hear a slight tone of sadness, but also bitterness in it. Not to mention a tone of muted rage. “I just wanted to say the same, Cadance. You leave me with no choice. You act like you know everything better. As if you could gauge the risks and rewards of this game. But you can’t. You are just a simple mare. One that hasn’t lived long enough to make the right call. It is a pity, truly. I didn’t want for it to come to this…” she told her, a grim expression forming. One that made Cadance want to gulp and take a step back. The white alicorn mare’s head swiveled to the sides, where her loyal guards were posted. “Guards…” she started, pausing for but a moment. “Arrest Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Imprison her in the dungeons.” Everyone looked shocked at this as there was a silence in the room. A moment later the guards came out of their shock and approached the mare, one of them holding an inhibitor ring. “No!” the mare screeched, trying to blast them back, but Celestia of course was prepared, already having Cadance’s horn in her magical grip and disrupting her casting. The pink mare gasped as she wasn’t prepared for this. And the guards used that movement to close in. “No!” Cadance screamed again, jumping over the table and bucking it into the guards as she ran straight up to Celestia, Chrysalis and Shining Armor with a growl. She charged her magic again as Celestia stepped forward, quickly firing a blast. Cadance met it with her own, both meeting in the middle. The pink alicorn grit her teeth, her forehead scrunching in concentration as sweat dripped from her brow. She gave it her all and yet felt the magic being pushed back. Quickly she erected a shield, or tried to, but a pink shield formed in front of her legs, disrupting her own as it came in contact. That moment of concentration loss was all that was needed as Cadance was blasted back and tumbled on the ground, before coming to a halt. She groaned, helpless as the guards quickly put the ring on her horn. The disconnection was something she noticed immediately. She wanted to stand up, but the guards held her already, overpowering her. Princess Celestia gave her a cold look as she approached her. Shining Armor and Queen Chrysalis following more reluctantly. At this moment she wasn’t sure who she should glare at more. The hated changeling queen, her betraying husband, or her wretched aunt. In the end she settled for the last one, seeing as she wasn’t easily going down. “You will not get away with this! Ponies will notice that I’m missing!” she tried to refute the plan, but Celestia simply shook her head, as if she was a foalish filly. “You are easy to forget the simplest things,” she reprimanded as her head turned to the changeling queen. “Chrysalis. You will take Cadance’s place. You are well-versed in it. And it will make it easier for you to move around unhindered.” Cadance looked dumbfounded as she heard this. One of her most profound fears seemingly materializing out of thin air. But with this fear, there also was a powerful hate. A hate that unloaded in this very moment. “YOU FILTHY WHORSE!” she screamed at the changeling queen in question who took a step back. “Transform,” Celestia simply ordered the queen, who could do little more than spark her horn, green flames washing over her body as she still stared at the pink alicorn. “THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!” Cadance continued to rage, tears forming, as the ring on her horn sparked as she tried with all her might to throw a powerful spell at the cursed changeling queen. Shining stayed right at the queen’s side, albeit looking clearly saddened at Cadance. “Enough of this folly! Drag her off!” Celestia finally ordered, having enough. The guards nodded in respect before forcefully dragging the pink body away as she still cursed and tried to fire beams at Chrysalis. Shining Armor turned away, not being able to look at the alicorn any longer. Tears were stinging at the corners of his eyes. Chrysalis simply stared. She couldn’t say anything. She couldn’t do anything as pink fur sprouted and her mane changed to that of the mare before her. She wasn’t sure what to think in this moment. The situation was hitting her hard. The solar princess seemed to have less trouble as she threw the doors to the outside open, the cool night breeze playing along her fur as she walked out on the balcony. She stood there for a moment, back turned to the situation and seeming thoughtful, maybe even a bit conflicted, before she took off. There was nothing else said, besides the angry and desperate cries of the pink alicorn as her form was dragged down underground into a dinky dungeon cell. With these events there was also a great amount of uncertainty, albeit no one dared to speak of it. No one dared to question their supreme ruler. Many wondered what the future might hold, however, it was only speculation in the end. Their trust was placed in the sole ruler of Equestria alone and so they would continue to follow her into an uncertain future. > Chapter 10: Aftermath (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Did I do the right thing?” Shining wondered as he laid in their shared room’s bed. Chrysalis laid next to him on her belly in the classical pony style, watching him. It was quite the question to ask. And right now Chrysalis, as unsure as she was, wasn’t in the best mood to answer. Though she didn’t need to as the white stallion just rambled on. “I understand why she would object. She has to think of her subjects as a princess and yet...there was clear hatred in her eyes. Clear loathing. I have seen it before every time the topic of you or your race came up - and I do understand that, like I said - but it was so much more intense. Maybe because Princess Celestia ordered to have her imprisoned?” “Possibly.” “I just wonder...was it really necessary? Was there no way to convince her differently? To just turn things around? I want changelings to be a part of Equestria. I want you to be a part of Equestria. I now have to ask myself if it is worth it in the end.” “If you go by duty, the answer is obvious. An entire race will live happily because of your decision. If you go by heart...ugh. This is too sappy for my taste but...if you go by heart, you did gain a new wife, even if it didn’t work out with Cadance.” “That’s just it, I still want it to work out.” “Well, I don’t think having a mare screaming bloody murder in the room would work out,” the changeling queen huffed, crossing her forelegs and turning her head haughtily away. “For now you should focus only on me...and concentrate on your duties. We have much to do in the coming months after all.” “...I guess you are right. I can’t keep looking back when there are ponies and changelings that are counting on me.” “Good to see you actually wisen up. I really am in no mood to remind you to look forward every day. After all, where would I get my daily care as a Queen from, if not from my most loyal servant?” she told him with a smug grin. Shining grinned right back, her to him usual joking attitude lifting his mood as he nodded, seeing as he couldn’t give a bow on his position on his back. “Your wish is my command, my Queen.” “You say that and yet you laze around on your back,” she scolded him, turning her nose up, before making her way over to him, scooting on top of him in a sitting position. He could feel her warm lips on his lower belly, just shy before his sheathed cock, which was already twitching. It did remind him how his first time went. Well...his first time being with Chrysalis in Cadance disguise. It was a magical night even despite that, though after the pink alicorn was free once more and had discovered that, she was less than pleased and did drag him to bed to claim him back. Despite that, Cadance felt like it wasn’t the same. Shining Armor actually had held on to his virginity for quite some time. For just the right moment. And he had refused Cadance no matter how often she begged. It was hard for said alicorn of love, who actually was quite raunchy as she felt that love did encompass sex and all it had to offer. And him not sharing with her in that was something that had irked her countless times. He had plans for that special moment, so he kept strong. Mainly the plan for this occasion to be shared on their wedding night. But then plans changed as he fell for Chrysalis. It was a strange situation to be in. Strange but melancholic by now as it was a fond memory, even though it led to such an end with the pink alicorn. In that moment Chrysalis turned around, facing her back to him as her bugpussy grinded along his hardening crotch. “Truly a hopeless case. I will just have to harvest your love myself,” she purred, her hoof touching his rod, before slipping the tip of his cock into the hole of her hoof. He grunted as he felt this. As he felt the surprisingly soft inside of the hole as she jerked him with it. “Surprised? Changelings are bred for love...bred for sex. Those holes are not just for show, or even as some especially dense specimens think, to show our hunger for love. It is obvious that, the more holes you have, the more love you can milk out of any captured stallion,” she teased as she saw some fat globs of precum were already dripping from his cock, smearing all over her hole and his shaft. Her strokes were long, going all the way from the tip, sensually down, past his medial ring and to the bottom, stroking every inch possible with the leghole. He couldn’t help but buck his hips up into it, making Chrysalis chuckle. “Just like that. Be a good little stallion and I will teach you all there is to know about producing love. All the different positions. All the different fun toys.” It carried on like this for another minute as he groaned while she was moving her hole along his rock-hard cock. Then after she deemed it enough she pulled her leg off, the tip taking a moment before it popped free. The changeling queen looked back, licking her leghole with her long tongue clean of his juices, something that made him shudder. She loved this. To actually have him attracted to her real form like this. There was no way for her to lie about this, even as the queen of deceivers. She needed this just as much as he did. To have him make love to her like this. To watch her, be aroused for her, lusting after her form, and she couldn’t help but reward her little stallion for it. “Are you that eager for a changeling pussy, captain?” she asked him hotly, as she lifted her pussy up to the head of his cock. It squished wetly against her pussy which was quite soaked as well. “I am. But can you blame me, if the most beautiful of changelings is right before me, ready to ride my cock?” Chrysalis put on a look of mock-thought. “I guess not,” she simply stated before smirking as she sunk down. The tip was instantly pushed in. A sensual moan escaped her lips as she felt her pussy part. The feeling of having a stallion, her stallion, slowly filling up her depths was one she never wanted to miss again. A queen needed a king after all. Someone to share her desires with. Sure, Shining wasn’t quite there yet, but she was sure she could teach him all about this and about her race. There was no hurry for the moment, only their reunion. And Chrysalis would make sure it was a hot and wet one, befitting of the changeling race. “Oooh, this feels even better than last time,” she admitted as she pulled back up, feeling his ring scraping along her sensitive walls. Shining Armor grunted at the feeling of her pliable insides as his hooves caressed her flanks. “Y-Yeah. Doing it with your real form is something special.” The queen smirked as she rotated her hips as she smacked them back down and pulled them up in a slow, measured pace. “Mhmm~ Bred for harvesting love. Didn’t you listen, captain?” she teased, gazing back with one eye facing him, half-lidded. It was a look that made his cock throb. And a throb that made Chrysalis giggle. "Mmhhhh~ You know, I can taste quite a lot of love coming from you pervert~ You got a thing for my big changeling butt dont you~" She pushed her rump back down, feeling her juices running down his pole. With how wet she was, she was sure she was drenching his balls, which was a good thing. She wanted her scent to stick on him. To truly make sure to claim him completely from that pink alicorn mare. Feeling pity or not for her as she was dragged off, that mare still was a love rival to her. Now with her out of the way for the near future she needed to make sure Shining would stick by her. And what better argument was there than a royal queen’s pussy? The queen purred, the tingles of pleasure running up her spine each time she impaled her green walls on his rigid pole. ‘Who am I kidding? I enjoy this as much as he does,’ she admitted to herself, as she made a mental note to repeat this at least once a day. More than once being the desired outcome. The love that freely flowed from him only made that experience better. A love that was intertwined with lust. A delicious cocktail of pink and red that was filling her up. Making her intoxicated on it. And it was so more filling than any other being she had ever laid with. Another giggle escaped her. This one more drunkenly sounding. She wiggled her butt at him enticingly. “Oh Captain~ Are you not even trying to massage the royal tush~?” she teased, but with a clear desire behind those words. Shining panted, though didn’t hesitate to get his hooves on her flanks, letting them sink into the more malleable part of her carapace. A distinct softness on her normally so firm form. He quite liked that feeling, and from the loud, sultry moan escaping Chrysalis’s lips, she did so too. His hips instinctively bucked into her as his hooves guided her rear in her own eager bounces. Wet squelches were clearly heard around the room as their pace was ever increasing, each working towards their respective highs. “Come on, take that bug pussy, you puny pony!” Chrysalis provoked in her sassy and haughty tone of voice. His grip on her rear tightened as he grunted, driving himself harder into her. “Best not regret it!” he threw some sass back at her. Chrysalis purred in perverted delight, aiding his movements with her own and meeting him in the middle, both grinding into each other and helping each other to get connected as deeply as possible. And effort rewarded by the clear ecstasy they both felt. Chrysalis from the cock that was buried up to the very last inch into her snatch and Shining from said green snatch practically milking him with her constricting nethers. It took no time at all for them to reach their peak. Shining Armor was the first one to go as he pulled her down so he was fully inside her as his cock twitched and his balls let go of their salty payload. The queen let loose a loud obscene moan that no doubt made some poor maids in the palace blush deeply as she also came, her juices splattering over his crotch. She felt it. His seed. His love. It was filling her as she enjoyed her body being wrecked by the pleasant shivers and the energy filling her. This love was the real stuff. And now in her real form it seemed even more potent than prior, more genuine. In her drunk stupor she swayed, before losing her balance and falling backwards into the well-trained stallion. Shining made sure her back didn’t hit his snout, but once she was down, cuddled into her all the same as she chuckled. “That is the stuff~” she purred delightfully. Not the first time he had witnessed her revelling like that too. He remembered his first time. She was a bit off after that too. But in his mind it was a cute kind of off. To see her in clear enjoyment in such a way was a stark contrast to how angrily Cadance had tried to claim him back. It was more calm, albeit he didn’t want to blame the pink alicorn. Thinking about it he couldn’t protect her either though. Cadance… There was truth to Chrysalis’ words. There was a choice he had made. A choice for Chrysalis and the changelings. To protect and guide them. With her carapace-covered form on him it was now even much clearer. No regrets. He couldn’t afford them. Cadance made her choice to doom an entire race. Understandable from her perspective, but in his mind the wrong choice. So he would keep going forward from here. His hooves clasped around the large queen atop of him tighter. He had something to protect. And he would do whatever he could to serve her. To serve his sassy little queen. After that the plans commenced. Celestia did her best to quickly organize the changes. Especially informing the more loyal guards first and then after ensuring the loyalty of the others, working her way down, making them swear for secrecy. It probably helped that Shining Armor was on her side with this. Then again, it might have helped even more that Chrysalis had a batch of her female changelings from her gathering squad prepared. A well-versed troop in the sexual arts that offered stress relief as they would be joining the guards as females in pony disguise. A simple and effective bribe as one could practically smell the arousal as they flagged their tails to them, before showing off their transformative powers as well, turning into ponies, griffins, dragons and the like, promising to do any fantasy in those forms and more behind closed doors. Celestia didn’t feel perturbed by this for some reason. Then again, her lust has gotten worse and she masturbated every third day now to get the edge off. She had a feeling soon would be every second day too. The solar princess wanted to blame Nightmare for her seemingly increased libido. However, after she had her best unicorns test Nightmare and the cell that housed her, it came out that she wasn’t casting any magic that could have led to this. No runes or hidden tricks up her sleeve, which was rather frustrating. Instead there were the usual taunts from her, Nightmare saying that Celestia was obviously a sadist that got her sexuality awoken by having her constantly gangraped. With a snort she had dismissed this ridiculous notion and offered the unicorns to do whatever they wanted to her. She wasn’t in the mood for her barbs. Despite that though, she actually was in higher spirits. Chrysalis was already mixing up the potion and was going to have her first mind-correction session with her later. It was something she will not watch, as she had been exposed to Nightmare enough for her taste. So she instead called it a day, trotting back up to her room. She was feeling rather heated anyway. Chrysalis huffed as she was flanked by some changelings in disguise. Though she was in disguise herself. To any outside pony it looked like Cadance and her guards were just trotting along their way to one responsibility or another. Nothing too out of order. Except they were doing it in the evening. The way to the dungeons was fast enough, so any curious stares were kept to a minimum as they got to the less lively stone walls as they descended the dimly lit stairs. Not really a problem. And Chrysalis certainly felt more at home in dark, rough places than in more illuminated, fancy ones. It was something she was more used to. Not to say she disliked the palace. She loved it more than her hive. She was just used to one thing more than the other. The thought that she would live in this palace permanently was quite the cheerful thought. But she was still careful when it came to Celestia. After all, that alicorn was so desperate and harsh in her selfish wants to have her sister back, that she had quickly dumped Cadance in one of those cells down here too. Chrysalis counted her blessings that she seemingly wasn’t in any of the cells they passed before they reached the Nightmare. The changeling in pink disguise nodded to the guards, marching right in with her own. She wrinkled her nose. There was a strong smell of sex. A bit of a surprise despite her having heard how Nightmare was raped with the permission of Celestia. Ponies were usually less eager for those sexual acts compared to changelings, making her briefly wonder if pony society was shifting. If they were, it was a welcome shift. The more sex ponies wanted, the easier it was to get in on some quick love. And those ponies clearly were filling up Nightmare with love. She saw her, chained up, legs spread with a spreader bar, pussy slightly gaping as white spunk was leaking out of it as well as her well-used pucker. Her generous teats had some light bite marks on them as well, and the large puddle of cum on the ground clearly illustrated how often her holes were used as public property to the crown. It was fascinating. Chrysalis grinned a bit as she shook her head. The Nightmare of course already had her head lifted from its hanging position, glaring at her. “Finally decided to visit me?” she asked with a dangerous edge, clearly mistaken her for the pink alicorn. A question the changeling mare mulled over. She could play along, but seeing how she had a job to do and nothing to really gain from this, she decided against it. So she dropped her disguise. Nightmare’s head snapped to attention as she shifted back into her natural form, the flames burning it away. “Before you say anything. I am here on official business. The guards know about me,” she said, stretching her neck to work out some kinks. The dark mare’s eyes narrowed at her in suspicion. “What are you?” “A changeling. Not that it really matters to you in your particular circumstances. I am here on behest of Celestia. Not ordered around by her, mind you, as I am a queen. Let’s just say I have to fulfil my end of a contract. Nothing personal.” “I see,” the dark mare responded calmly, measuring her up. It made sense, seeing as she slightly remembers the guards mentioning those at the Nightmare Night event. Not that it explained why she was here.  Nightmare looked at her with clear suspicion. “And your contractual responsibilities pertain to me? Has that old hag finally given up on her reformation spell ideas?” It was faint, but a smug look could be seen forming on her face, albeit it did nothing to hide how tense she was. She knew something was coming. And Chrysalis knew that she knew, making her sigh. “So to say. Her plan is despicable, even by my own standards. Alas, it is what I have to do for my race. A simple sacrifice to be made, even if you won’t feel better knowing this.” “And what sacrifice would that be?” Nightmare asked, her eyes fixing on the by now glowing, crooked horn of the queen. “Your mind.” As those words left Chrysalis’s lips, her horn touched the Nightmare’s. She felt the mental hooks digging in as she was invaded. Then, slowly but surely she was sorting through her, analyzing her. And then she started to temper. Nightmare screamed loudly, wanting to trash her head around, but it was kept still by magic. The changeling queen grunted in effort but continued regardless. ‘This will take a while.’ It did. Chrysalis wondered why it was taking her longer to work her mind magic, same as with Shining back then, before she gave it up, wondering if she had become lax in her abilities. That didn’t mean she wasn’t making any progress. In fact she was making a good head start here and was convinced she could get the basic setup in Nightmare’s mind in two weeks. She just wished she would be faster done with this work. While it was interesting to spy into an alicorn’s mind, it was challenging. Longer lifespan meant more memories to work through, seal away and weave into this new personality. Just to try and work it all into a comprehensible baseline Luna. To, in a twisted sense, bring Celestia’s sister back. Only not really. She was made aware that Luna was still in there somewhere, but with how vast Nightmare’s mind was, it was an impossibility to find it. The literal needle in a haystack. And if she failed, or even accidentally damaged the mind, harming Luna in the process, Celestia would let all tartarus break loose. There was no need to find out if Celestia herself could be taken over by her own dark side. She was unpredictable and volatile enough as it is. A Nightmare Celestia, or...Daybreaker? If that was an appropriate name was something she had no interest in dealing with. So she just returned to her stallion, her mouth curling up thinking how she would spend her time with him. A little something to lift her mood was just what she needed. > Chapter 11: An Enacted Plan (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Two weeks passed, followed by another two. Chrysalis was right about the base setup. Of course going in deeper to really work out that base was still taking some extra time, adding the other mentioned two weeks. It was a time which she used to meticulously work her magic. It needed to be perfect for Celestia, so that she wouldn’t go back on their agreement. Just to be on the safe side. Luckily, Shining Armor was constantly feeding her with tons of love, giving her sufficient energy reserves for this. Not to say that there weren’t other things grabbing her attention. Cadance tried to escape. Tried to use her raw alicorn strength. Princess Celestia hadn’t restricted her like she did with Nightmare. Just threw her in a cell. And while the cell held strong in the end, there were still enough cracks. It was obvious that she wasn’t going to treat her the same as Nightmare. At the same time, she couldn’t stand for this behavior either. So a solution was needed. A solution Chrysalis provided. Changelings could produce certain substances. One of them being something that was indistinguishable from latex. The inherent changeling magic could restrict movement to some degree and suppress the natural pony strength, meaning she could still walk around, though couldn’t run efficiently. Celestia agreed instantly and Chrysalis had one of her changelings tailor an outfit. And her little drones were quite happy to do just that. It was a red outfit of the stretchy kind of material, covering her from hoof to neck. Her body was encompassed tightly by it, with a zipper for her rear holes while her teats were mostly free, only a strip going over her nipples to cover up her intimate area. This was clearly sexualizing the pink alicorn. Nothing out of the ordinary for changeling culture, of course. Additionally, the ring around her horn was replaced with a sturdy color of the same hard material as well as an enchanted gem inset. It not only suppressed her magic but could shock her if she was detected misbehaving. Another necessity with how she had damaged the ring slightly in her lackluster escape attempt. Her wings were also encompassed with a thick stripe of that material, holding the fluffy appendages in a slightly spread open position, but closed enough to make them useless. Last but not least was a muzzle of the same material as her collar, to keep her from screaming obscenities constantly. From what Chrysalis heard from her harvester drones, the guards were very happy with that addition. More interestingly, some wished to shove a cock up that trap to shut her up. The queen imagined that this practice might be more attractive than with Nightmare and her razor teeth, no matter if a ring gag was available or not. Still, it was another interesting tidbit for her to note. She wasn’t one to complain if the guards were getting more eager. It meant the harvesting would go over quite smoothly. Of course those joyous thoughts came to an end as she was in front of the throne room doors. She wasn’t wandering aimlessly. And she wasn’t alone either. Her head turned behind her to her changelings and a certain alicorn. She had been done with her work. Her eyes trailing over the form of Luna. Or more like the illusion of Luna as well as the warped mind that now sat within. The mare was a bit smaller now with a more slender frame overall as the black splotch with her white crescent moon was showing on her leaner flanks. Her hair was a nice light shade of blue and more shortly cut, giving her a neat as well as younger, cute look. The alicorn mare seemed happy, despite still wearing the ring on her horn. The female disguised changeling guards flanked her. All was set and in motion for what was to come, as the doors opened. The doors cracked open ominously in the early morning. One could feel a slight chill going through some opened window as the ruler of Equestria was sitting on her throne. To others she might have seemed serene, stoic or unmoving, however that didn’t trick Chrysalis. She saw the clear anticipation as well as trepidation of what was about to transpire. The queen gave a courteous bow, despite not really wanting to show this alicorn such a level of submission and respect, no matter how minor it was. Her servants were forced to stay outside while the newly reeducated alicorn followed behind her, a good few steps. “Princess Celestia, I present to you, your sister, Princess of the Night and Stewardess of the Stars, Princess Luna.” She stepped aside, presenting her as the brainwashed Nightmare stepped forward demurely. The blue alicorn had to look up the steps to the throne where her sister was perched, her back straight, her eyes boring into her with a calculating look. Luna fidgeted in place, and why wouldn’t she? The reprogramming in her mind left her with rather unflattering ‘memories’. Chrysalis almost felt pity for her and for what she had done to her. Celestia was very detailed in her demand on how she had to build Luna up. First off, Chrysalis was to erase the Nightmare completely from memory and instead replace it with how Luna took on the name and appearance with some simple illusion magic. There was no Nightmare. Only Luna that had changed her name as she foolishly got jealous of her wiser sister and made the biggest mistake of her life. That was the second part. Her personality. Making her regretful and see the error of her ways. Giving her a more submissive character that would obediently follow her sister’s every word like a kid would with her mother. Or as Celestia put it, like ‘a good little sister that would follow her wise older sister’. In short, be obedient, demure, a bit shy, the cute little sister everyone wants, who will work earnestly for forgiveness. It was something that sounded saccharine even in its twistedness. In the end Luna lowered her head, bowing in regret. “Sister. I am deeply sorry for having troubled you so.” Chrysalis could see the white alicorn’s jaw clenching hard, as if to hold back an angry tirade. Something understandable as from her information, Nightmare often played Luna only to then spit in her face. Surely this situation just reminded her of who really stood before her, as well as the clear expectation that the Nightmare would resurface and show her true face again. But then she didn’t. The moment dragged on and one could clearly see that the blue alicorn was just incredibly nervous, waiting and hoping for forgiveness. She looked so vulnerable, so weak. And it twisted Celestia’s heart to see it. So she stood up and trotted down the stairs calmly, until she stood in front of her, her gaze unreadable. Hope? Resignation? Happiness? Fear? Disappointment? Anger? It was impossible to tell in this single moment what she was feeling as Chrysalis brought to her the reformed Nightmare Moon. This was Celestia’s plan, however, and now that she saw it being completed, she didn’t quite seem to know how to feel or react. Or at least it felt that way to the changeling queen. ‘Here comes to hoping that she won’t throw me in a dungeon for following her orders, only because she decided she didn’t like this plan after all.’ “I…” the white mare started, before forgoing words and rushing the blue mare in a hug. Luna let out a squeak. A surprised little noise as hooves and wings were wrapped around her in earnest. The changeling queen could feel the relief from the night alicorn as her elder sister seemed to accept her apology. In this moment it seemed that Celestia didn’t care that she was hugging a fake, as she had been waiting for this moment for too long. She wanted to enjoy it. Just for a little while as she felt the blue hooves return the hug as well, albeit much more softly. A flinch had to be suppressed by her as she was still keenly aware who this was behind the surface. Despite her feelings, Princess Celestia forced herself to part with the blue mare only a minute later, looking at her intently. “You are...forgiven. Now you can return to your quarters...sister. Rest well. I will visit you, once I have dealt with a few preparations.” Luna seemed curious, though she didn’t question her as she simply smiled happily and bowed her head. “Very well, sister. I am looking forward to seeing you again.” Then she turned and departed, as the white alicorn ordered some guards to lead her way. She also made sure to silently communicate for Chrysalis to stay, who did so without question. Once the blue plot of Luna was out of sight and the doors were closed again, Chrysalis started. “Yes? I take it you are satisfied with the result?” It was a simple question, but one she hoped would end in a positive affirmative. Celestia waited for a moment to answer. “You did well. More so than I honestly expected. It only feels… It will take some time to get used to this new situation,” she cut in shortly, seemingly remembering that she was talking to a potential enemy. Chrysalis had to suppress a snort at that. Just to lower her defenses like that. Sure, she preferred this, rather than the opposite end of the spectrum, though she wasn’t intending to be buddy-buddy with her possibly worst enemy. “I imagine it would. And she needs to take her ‘medicine’ regularly to keep the illusion, her changed form, alive. The reagents in it will help to keep her mind in check too. However that alone might not be enough.” The princess of the sun looked at her, not happy to hear it. “It is not?” she inquired, prompting an answer. “Well...this is a first time thing. Especially the brainwashing to a degree that is supposed to not leave her a vegetable. Minds are a fickle thing. They can wander. And her mind wandering can be dangerous. So, there needs to be distraction of a certain kind.” Celestia waved her wing, motioning for her to go on. “Sex.” She reeled back at that, albeit she didn’t seem nearly as shocked as Chrysalis expected. More of a mild surprise. “Sexual activity should keep her mind straight. Think of it as a small insurance. She could work completely without it, but I am sure with this it will work.” “And other distractions won’t work?” ‘Why so hesitant? Weren’t you eager to have her raped constantly?’ was what she wanted to ask, but thought better of it. Instead she tried a more diplomatic approach. Shiny would be proud. “It won’t. We are talking about changeling magic. It works on Lust. So, providing more of it does enhance its effects, to put it simply.” “...Then it shall be done. I won’t allow failure.” It was all there needed to be said. All Celestia wanted to say about the situation, so she walked to the doors. She gave one last glance over her shoulder however. “For appearances sake I expect you to support me at her reintroduction announcement.” Chrysalis bowed her head, watching her depart and the doors slowly closed. No doubt preparing said announcement. In any case, it felt like a weight was lifted from her shoulders . The deed was done and now she simply had to provide the potions and leave it to Celestia, meaning she could focus more on the management of her hive again. Oh, and teaching Shining, while she was at it. Might as well have him partake in this task. If there was one thing that could be said about Celestia, it’s that she was a master in management and organization. It is easy to see where her student got her penchant for it. The preparations were done on the same day, leaving Luna to face the music at the start of her night, after taking her medicine in form of a potion and eating dinner. The former hereby was an important part of her day, as it was something that would help to keep Luna’s dark magic in check. From what her sister told her, she had used dark magic during her little...escapade. It made her susceptible mentally, threatening to have extreme reactions if not kept in check. Not to mention the danger of her accidentally unleashing something terrible. Sure, one could argue that the magic dampening ring was for that, though her sister wanted to be safe regardless. Of course her wearing one could lead to unbidden questions being asked, so they had set it on the base of her horn, so that her mane could be kempt over it. Her big sister had assured her that this safety measure would only be necessary for a week. By then she could be sure the medicine was working properly enough for her to not cause any accidents. Not that she cared about the ring suppressing her magic right now as she peeked through the curtains and saw a crowd of ponies gathering at the courtyard in front of the castle. Her head turned back to her sister, who was flanked by four guards. It made Luna shrink back a bit, seeing those well-trained muscled hunks. They were a bit intimidating with how helpless she was with the ring on her horn. The black crown and regalia around her neck didn’t quite make her feel that confident either as they were little more than decoration to keep up appearances at the moment as she held no authority. “S-So, introduction. A-And, do I have to hold a speech?” Luna wondered, feeling a bit nervous at the prospect to face the ponies out there. Especially after returning from her crime-ridden past. “You don’t. I will do the talking...Luna. You...You simply smile and wave. Albeit there will be more to it than just that.” “There is?” “Yes. It turns out that the potion, while seeming effective isn’t as reliable as I wished it to be. It is was produced with emotion-based magic, meaning for it to not lose its effect too soon it needs to be reinvigorated over the day.” “So, I have to drink more?” Celestia was shaking her head, some annoyance welling up. “No. You need to replenish it with the emotion it was based on. Anything else would damage the long-term effects of it. You cannot simply chug more than is healthy,” she reprimanded, making Luna shrink back and bowing her head in a slight show of submission. “I-I see. That makes sense. What emotion is it that I have to replenish sister?” “Lust.” The mare’s ears perked up instantly and her head shot up as well, staring wide-eyed at her. “Beg your pardon?” She snorted, glaring, “Lust,” she repeated motioning for the guards next to her. “You need to fornicate for the effect to stay. The guards graciously offered their services. You are already overdue for an injection of lust, so they will take care of it, while I hold my speech.” Luna’s head was reddening at a fast pace as steam seemed to come out of her ears. Her mouth moved, but no words came out in that moment as her embarrassment was overwhelming her. It took a moment for her to gather herself again. “S-Sister, surely there is another way to resol-” “Luna. They will make sure the ponies won’t notice. You don’t get a choice in the matter. Even less as you are responsible for this situation yourself. It will also serve as a good way for you to atone. Where once you spread fear, now you will spread satisfaction among the guard and anyone else I allow. Now, did I make myself clear?” The blue princess wanted to protest more, though hearing her big sister bring up her past was effective in shutting her up. In the grand scheme of things she deserved a punishment. And if her sister was dishing out a punishment like this, then it was her place to listen. So her ears wilted. “I-I understand, sister.” “Good. Once I call your name, you come out. Remember to smile and wave, no matter what happens.” The sun princess didn’t wait for any objections or confirmations in that matter as she strutted out to the roaring applause of the gathered ponies. From what Luna had seen a whole bunch of press as well as many citizens of Canterlot with how the place was packed. “My little ponies, we have gathered here today for an important announcement that will shape Equestria as we know it. As you are all aware, Nightmare Moo-” Celestia started, recalling the events that led Luna to standing here. She was attentive, as any good little sister would be. Even more so with her story laid bare for all the ponies to see. Not that they wouldn’t know most of it. After all her defeat has been months ago. So, rumors had spread. She was just glad that she had Cadance. The pink alicorn of love proved to be an excellent therapist to lead her back onto the right path. Luna would have listened some more, but felt two guards flanking her side rather closely. Her eyes peeked at them nervously and she was about to say something, until she felt a pair of hooves on her buttocks, giving them a generous squeeze. She would have whickered out loud if the white wing of the guard on her side hadn’t clasped itself over her mouth to muffle the noise. Her eyes went wide with panic for a moment before she recalled her sister’s words. ‘S-She really meant it,’ Luna thought, recalling how she was ordered by her sister to let them do whatever they wanted, while she smiled and waved. ‘B-But isn’t it too early?’ she wondered, seeing how she wasn’t even in front of the crowd now. Then again, if they did it right before the address, that might be preferable, rather than secretly getting screwed in front of all of Canterlot like a cheap two-bit whore. Not that she had any say in the matter either way. She was a criminal, as such she had to accept whatever was coming her way. Sadly her blush certainly wasn’t going to vanish with how his hooves kept fondling her lean ass. The alicorn of the night bit her lip, trying to look straight ahead and stand tall and proudly. She could feel him pull her cheeks apart, getting a generous eye full of her dark marehood and little pucker, while his teeth dug into her tail and pulled it away. “-And now please welcome back with me, my sister, Princess Luna!” Luna herself almost missed her cue, if it wasn’t for the guards by her side, pulling the curtain to allow her entry. Almost as if on instinct she quickly rushed out and onto the balcony, before the curtain was pulled closed once more. The mare thought that she would feel better now, but looking out at the crowd of ponies staring at her, it made her almost consider hiding behind the curtain again, consequences be damned. Nonetheless she stayed as some light cheers went off in the crowd. No doubt her big sister had spun her return as positively as she could allow. The applause itself still couldn’t be compared to the one she heard back when her sister had stepped out. Luna gulped, before her sister nudged her insistently, reminding her of her role in all of this. With some hesitation the blue alicorn lifted her hoof to wave, while smiling a bit nervously down at the ponies. A light squeak escaped her lips as a pair of hooves suddenly rested from behind the curtain on her ass. Not to mention the feeling of a hardening cock smacking up and into her teats. Luna could only hope, none of the ponies had heard the light squeak, otherwise she would want to bury herself in shame. She hoped even more none of the ponies below would notice what was happening to her. Exile to the moon might be preferable. Despite that, much to her own embarrassment, she felt her body reacting regardless. Her marehood was warming up noticeable as a large hard shaft was so close to it. Then the guard pulled back, making his cock rub along her teats and the lower side of her marehood. Just when the hard rod left her sensitive areas did it push forward again in a piercing thrust. And it did pierce. Barely a second later did she feel her sloppy pussy part to allow this girthy shaft entry. A whinny of excitement wanted to erupt from her beautiful lips, though she managed to muffle it at the last moment as she felt her lower area getting filled up completely. Her eyes turned to her sister briefly, who glanced back just as shortly, clearly understanding that they had started, while still droning on in her long-winded speech to explain how their political landscape would change with another alicorn amidst them now. Surely it was an intricately crafted speech, and one Luna would have liked to hear, though she was...occupied. The guard behind her hadn’t hesitated for long. He had his big pole just linger and throb in her cunt for a bit, to get a better feel for her hole, before starting up his movements. He started at a simple steady pace, letting her get used to the sensations at first. Sparks of pleasure were dancing along Luna’s spine as the stallion behind her pleasured himself with her marehood. It was spreading her widely, showing her just how well-chosen the guards were. And she herself? She could only awkwardly smile and wave as she was defiled. As her marehood was pounded by a simple guard. Ponies that should be serving her under normal circumstances, having the permission to simply relieve themselves with her, as if she was a common maid with no authority. And at this moment that was pretty much what she was. An alicorn without any authority. She betrayed her sister, so she had to work for her forgiveness and the right to be respected again. Then he got faster, his hips smacking into her ass with a sound. Luckily a sound not loud enough to be heard over her sister’s speech and the distance from the balcony to the curious ponies. Luna had to bite her lip, muffling any sounds to hide her shame. She felt it deep inside her. It was pulling her inner walls taut, scrapping insistently as spikes of pleasure were wracking her brain repeatedly. The hard rod throbbed inside her as the guard was squeezing her cute rear. It was troublesome to compensate for his hard thrusts and not sway to them. Luna knew very well that those movements might give her away. So she spread her legs, trying to gain a better and wider stance. It certainly helped to compensate, though as a side effect, her rigid stand only helped the guard to drive himself deeper into her. Her pussy gushed in delight, some juices dripping between her legs. She was close. In the end it turned out that the guard was closer. He groaned as he bucked his hips a few more times before hilting into her. The shaft twitched as she felt it deliver its seed directly to her womb. And while there was no risk of pregnancy, it still had the blue mare’s mind reel as she felt how he was dumping his load directly into her without any shame or regret. No, he did it with delight. Luna whined lightly, shaking her hips to dislodge his dick as he pulled out. Not that it would help matters as her pussy was filled up with his slimy seed. The slimy seed of a stallion she didn’t even know by name. It was an arousing prospect regardless of her personal feelings on the matter. If she had time she might have pondered why this aroused her so much. Of course she hadn’t as only seconds later another guard was fucking her dripping pussy hard, piercing her canal in one thrust. With how wet she was, her pussy gave a simple squelch and invited the cock right in. She bit into her hoof lightly mid-smile, trying to disguise it as she muffled a squeal, before quickly stopping the bite as to not arouse suspicion. Her awkward smile stayed on her face as she looked down at her subjects, while she could feel some thick and long stallion meat stirring up the cum in her twat. This was enough to push her over the edge. There was no helping it as she squirted out her juices onto the floor and the stallions large, sweaty orbs. She bit her lip hard, her wings twitching, trying to become erect as she did her best to fight back her instincts and needs, lest she would act like a bitch in heat in front of all of Canterlot. By this point she looked over to her sister, praying for her to get her plot moving fast enough to end this speech. Much to her disappointment and lust it seemed that she was still some ways off. So she had to endure. There was no way she could smile anymore. She had to constantly bite her lip, trying to keep the loud cries of ecstasy in as they threatened to reverberate in her throat. The new guard had not stopped for even a second, despite her obvious troubles. He simply had forced his dick into her slit even as her walls were contracting while she came. He was fast and dominant, his hips smacking with force into her rear as he was claiming her. Then she heard him grunting and a second later he plunged into her one last time. She felt it. How his dick was shooting out his own payload deep into her. Not pulling out or bothering with any protection, just making his sperm mix with the one of her first involuntary suitor. Luna quivered for a moment at the sensation before, with a wet schlick, the cock was pulled out and the next guard took his place. Her marehood parted easily, just like before, as it welcomed the new hot intruder inside. This one was a bit larger in frame, his movements so much harder, making her legs quiver with each hard thrust into her ass. The smacks were louder, her face barely holding up as her head was red. She wasn’t sure she could endure much longer. Her forelegs were bracing herself against the stone railing, the only thing to keep her in place and not bend over the railing itself. ‘C-Celestia, h-he is big!’ the mare bemoaned as she felt him pulling on her tail hard, which he gripped with his teeth. The support, while demeaning, was appreciated by the blue mare. The strain on both her squishy pussy lips as well as on her dock however weren’t doing her any favors. Her eyes looked pleadingly to her sister, who glanced back, frowning in some annoyance. Luna begged harder with her stare, already feeling like cumming again if this went on. She knew she would collapse and bend over the railing if she did and then whicker whorishly. There was no way for her to hide it anymore. “With that I end the announcement. It seems like my sister is rather squeamish still and will have quite a few lessons to learn. We of course will keep you well informed on her progress and the events she will attend in the future.” After she was done, she quickly shoved her white wing at Luna’s chest, pushing her back. The guard luckily did listen to Celestia at least and backed away as well, though he didn’t pull out regardless, deciding to stay in that hot honeypot that was Luna’s alicorn cunt. Luna barely even heard the applause for her sister as she was shoved behind the curtain. A moan fought its way to her lips which she quickly muffled behind her foreleg as she felt herself reaching her climax. Her pussy juices gushed on the tiled floor as she heard the stallion above her groan while pulling on her dock. And just as she was bathing the floor in her sticky cum, did the guard follow suit and pump her full with his own. Luna’s body jerked, her wings flaring and her eyes rolling up into her head as the pleasure was wracking her. She didn’t even notice her sister glaring disapprovingly at her. “Really now, Luna. If you cannot even take this much I wonder if we can even bother with other events. This is your medicine. You should be better at taking it than this.” “I-I’m s-sorry, sister,” the blue alicorn forced out an answer along with a moan. The Princess of the Sun snorted, before turning, flicking her younger sibling on the snout with her tail, before looking over to the guards as the one with Luna popped his cock free. “Take her to a room. Teach her some manners. I cannot have her embarrassing me like this,” she told them coldly, making the guards feel a chill down their spines. They saluted obediently. “Yes, Princess!” Celestia nodded in approval, her gaze traveling to Luna again. “Don’t disappoint me again.” With those final words she parted, leaving Luna to the guards who were dragging her away. The blue mare didn’t resist, though there was something that occupied her. Some nagging feeling in the back of her mind. ‘Is Celestia being unsisterly to me?’ A fleeting thought that the guards quickly snubbed once they shoved her into a room, making her cry out in pleasure as she was disciplined. The echoes of an alicorn’s moans and the wet squelches could be heard reverberating in the halls... > Chapter 12: Failing Plans (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- A month passed. The integration of changelings is slowly moving forwards. 10,000 were already integrated in the past two months. It was a steady flow, one that the citizens had attributed to the expansion measure their princess had announced, extending their platform and building new homes. It was a monumental effort that did cost the royal treasury a hefty sum. Though the expansion also meant lots of work and jobs for the disguised changelings and ponies alike, creating wealth for them. Even more so as the increased population meant that businesses could expand or settle on the newly established area. As such it turned out to be a bit of a mixed district. One one side there were quite a lot of residential homes, on the other one could see a certain portion of it becoming commercialized with shops, restaurants and the like settling. Among those businesses there was a notable shift though. A shift for...sex work. A brothel opened on the far side with its blaring neon sign. One might think such an establishment would earn a lot of protests in a city like Canterlot. And while some complained, most more curiously shifted their eyes to it. Maybe even interested? After the events of Nightmare Night, there seemed to be a certain inhibition threshold which had been passed. And once it had been passed, ponies seemed...more accepting and in some cases less shamefaced. With that change in attitude in mind, it seemed less surprising that the changelings, who did set up this business as a food gathering ground, had plenty of ponies to serve. And as shapeshifters they could integrate into Canterlot in any shapes or forms, meaning their offers at the brothel were of the finest and most widespread selection. From slender and taller grown supermodel like unicorns, to elegant dragonesses with a long tail (tailjobs becoming a thing with those prehensile appendages), or even toned griffons. The brothel had every race in every form with every taste a pony could possibly have or ever develop. And while this incredible variety might have seemed suspicious to some, most ponies were much too interested in grasping this particular opportunity to fulfil specific wishes or simply explore all that the world had to offer. After all, why risk losing such beautiful mares of all races? On the other side, the integration of Luna did make some strides as well as she stayed by her sisters side whenever an announcement was made, but also sitting next to her during daycourt. Celestia clearly wanted to push the blue alicorn into everyone's faces, normalizing her presence, which was a sound strategy for the demure mare’s integration. Some noted this apparent shyness, but did little more than that as she never really caused a scene. Or nothing too big, besides blushing and shuffling around in her seat. Officially Luna was also assigned to the guard to have regular inspections of them. A small task to get her more acquainted with the castle staff. Additionally she also had to report to the captain of the guard once a week about her situation, progress and overall feelings to her position and tasks. A safety precaution to find out if she ever got close to a relapse. So, the dark blue mare stood stock-still in the officers quarters in the evening giving her weekly report to Shining Armor. He knew about the circumstances and even though Chrysalis had certainly amped up his sexual appetite, even he had to get used to the sight of her. Specifically the guard that was on top of her rear, rutting her right in front of him. The blushing cheeks and suppressed moans made it clear that Luna was holding back her voice as she quietly went through her week. Wet squelches could be heard clearly as well as a dripping noise that seemed louder than the mare’s speech. There was no helping the massive boner Shining had popped directly under his desk. He felt tempted to sit on his desk and stuff her mouth. Those luscious blue lips seemed him to beg for this treatment, but he held himself back. He wasn’t sure he wanted to go down that path. Even more so with how he knew the truth. How he knew that this was Nightmare Moon in disguise. He wasn’t fully aware of all the details, however that knowledge he felt, should make any sexual thoughts towards this new princess much more reluctant, or maybe even closer to being non-existent at all. Personally he blamed his marefriend for this. Truth be told...Chrysalis actually had talked with him a lot about those things. About how he could satisfy his needs if she agreed to it. And as a changeling she was willing to agree to share his ‘majestic rod’ with ‘other worthy mares’. It was another thing about changeling culture. They were much more lax in their relationships and could easily sanction such behavior. It was a part of ‘showing off’ what a great partner you had. Doesn’t mean of course he was all on board quite yet like previously stated, so seeing Luna like this...left an effect on him. Especially since he had the explicit permission to rut her. Now that was something that made the sight almost tormenting. And to be fair, Shining did have the possibility to order this guard to stop, if he wanted to. Still...he had to admit, that he did like the show. And Princess Celestia herself ordered that Luna could be used at any given time, unless superiors said otherwise. So he let it be, simply trying to enjoy the show. “A-And that is haa, a-all for the week!” the dark blue mare quickly finished, only to cry out as the stallion on her behind groaned and gave a few hard quick thrusts as he pumped his white seed into her. Her legs quivered as juices splattered on the ground. Shining ignored it and nodded. “Thank you for your hard work. You are dismissed.” Luna nodded, shivering as the stallion got off from her, his wet rod sliding out of her pink depths with a wet schlick. Then he left, the alicorn following suit. The captain looked at her leaving, her pussy winking with cum dripping out of her. The maids actually had complained about how messy the guards quarters were getting. Some of them seemed curious though. But maybe they were changelings. Not all changelings that were brought into the castle worked as guards after all. The stallion hummed in thought as he looked back over the paper that he was given by the Princess of the Sun herself. A mission. She had talked with him about it earlier. Called him to her in the throne room. It wasn’t something that happened often. Even less that he was to leave the capital on his own, which is why he had to talk to Chrysalis about it. He stood up and took the scroll in his magic before wandering to their shared room. Past midday she usually skipped out on her chores and lazed around. In her opinion, she had her drones for many menial tasks, so she delegated the less important one’s so that Celestia wouldn’t catch wind of this. In the changelings mind it has to have some perks to stand at the top as a leader, so she liked to choose her working hours herself. Shining smiled at the thought. This cocky queen could act rather spoiled sometimes. Despite that he knew that she would step up to the plate herself if a crisis happened, showing that she could take responsibility even if she liked to act otherwise. He arrived, slipping into the door with the living room, the kitchen to his left, while stairs led up to an elevated part with the bedroom, while the bath was to the right as well, just beneath the bedroom. Chrysalis was laying on her side, munching on some expensive looking sweets as she was reading a book. She looked up to the opening doors, meeting his eyes in surprise and quickly setting everything aside. “Don’t tell me you are here because I am needed somewhere,” she said with some light disgruntlement, making him chuckle as he sauntered over. “No, you don’t need to worry right now,” he assured her, while sitting next to her plot. The queen righted herself looking at him, now more curious. “So a situation that needs your attention? Or are you just happy enough to see me to skip out of duty?” she asked, eying the paper he floated over to her, which she snatched out of his glow immediately. “Nothing of the sort, I am not you-” Chrysalis snorted, rolling her eyes. “-so the former. A mission outside of Canterlot. I will be gone for a week. Maybe longer.” Looking over it she hummed. “...I see. The kirin tribe. Even I have not ventured to the Peaks of Peril yet...mainly because no ponies live there, so I cannot give you any advice on your journey. Though I have to wonder why it has to be you and why you have to go alone as well. I mean, surely you can just fetch some other pony for this?” He shook his head, “No. I can’t. It is from Princess Celestia herself. Besides, it is just a small mission. The Princess cannot dispatch unreasonably high ressources.” Chrysalis lifted a brow, “Is that your way of saying that she doesn’t want any ponies to notice?” He nudged her side playfully, “It is,” then he sighed, “This...it is an order. And I will follow through with it. To keep the secret and to keep you safe as well.” “Secrets...I am familiar with them. They are necessary, so I will excuse you from your duty of tending to me.” “I am honored to hear that, my Queen.” She then spun around, lifting her body over his, sitting down close to his shaft as she was in front of him with a sultry smile that made his cock twitch. “Then I will give you a present before you go to remember me by. A little incentive to fulfill your mission as soon as you can and come back to me.” His cock slipped out of his sheath in an instant, making her purr as she humped her nethers against it, the hot wet touch making the stallion’s breath hitch. “You are holding back still. That is why you are so pent up. I also know about the little show you enjoyed.” Before Shining could say anything, she held a hoof to his lips, giving him a look. “I told you that it is acceptable to have some fun if your mate agrees to it. This is changeling culture. Honestly, your guards are deeper in changeling culture than you, and you are dick deep into the queen!” Just as she said this she pushed up and lined his flat tip with her slit, before slowly sinking down, releasing a shaky breath. “Literally,” she added with a soft moan. The captain gave a groan of his own as he was enjoying the tight embrace of her green bug pussy. “I-I know. I just haven’t gotten used to it yet, so I thought watching might be a good start.” “But your body wants more than watch. It wants to cum deep into that blue mare, as much as many other mares, right?” Chrysalis coaxed, her hips gyrating in a teasing fashion. His cock throbbed, precum wetting her passage in a mixture with her own growing arousal. Her teats swayed almost hypnotically in rhythm with her bounces. “Y-Yes…” he admitted and the changeling queen could practically taste his lust and desire. It was strong, but held back by useless equestrian morales. It was a dormant potential she was eager to burst open for quite some time. His hips bucked up into her, meeting her downward thrusts in an audible smack. A loud moan escaped her, which spurred Shining on as she felt his desire increasing. His hooves roamed her plot, grabbing it and taking control as he massaged it. She let him take the control, enjoying how his rock-hard rod was stirring up her soft pliable walls. It was hard, hot and reaching so deep into her that she could feel the pleasure slowly drowning her mind. Her tongue hung out as he fucked her, his speed fast and his desire taking over. Chrysalis sucked it all in, the lust, overflowing and heating her own body, making her pussy clamp down on his dick as he groaned. Then she came, her body jittering with the force of her climax as he carried on to use her bug pussy for his pleasure. Loud cries left her mouth as she leaned against him, his hooves still on her flanks as he held them there while he jackhammered into her prone form. Chrysalis had a dreamy smile at this dominance. She felt his morales slowly cracking to welcome the lifestyle of a changeling king. Then he pushed into her balls-deep, moaning as his dick twitched and loads upon loads of his salty white payload were spurting into her womb. Chrysalis shivered in delight. “Y-Yesssss, fill your queen.” The white, well-trained stallion groaned again, another shot of his cum, filling her slightly swollen belly even more. After that he relaxed, which was fine for Chrysalis as she cuddled into him. “I already had a feeling that I would end up with drained balls while talking to you about my absence, little cuddlebug.” She hit his shoulder, huffing. “That is queen to you...and yes. I do have my needs, though if helping to fulfil my needs helps you to realize yours, I would say it is a win-win situation. Though in case you plan on backing out from taking what you desire, here is my command. The command of a queen: During your mission you will fuck any kirin that will hinder you even the slightest in completing the goal.” “...That is a rather broad order.” “It is. To make sure you do show them your dominance as well. I won’t be happy if your dick wasn’t wetted with at least 5 female kirins.” Shining chuckled, “You are quite something. I don’t think any other mare would say anything like this.” “I am quite special,” she admitted, preening at the attention as he gave her a nuzzle and they rested for a bit longer, before he would have to go on his mission. Princess Luna walked the halls. It was still unfamiliar to her. Hard to get used to this new castle. Still, she felt happy, somewhat. Her sister had forgiven her foolishness and she had the right to earn forgiveness, despite the more...strange ways of doing so. The staff mostly hadn’t any respect for her yet, some more scared individuals actively avoiding her. Though through her service it were far less than prior. Earning forgiveness by getting down and sucking on dicks seemed to have damaged her intimidation, so despite that she could see some reasoning for her sister’s decision. After all, you hardly feared a mare that suckles on your balls submissively, or you rut on a daily basis. It didn’t quite cure her shy demeanor though and the shame she felt didn’t decrease all that much either. She was hard-pressed to deny that she felt good regardless. Shyness, shame, it felt almost nostalgic thinking back on it. There was something tickling in the back of her mind. Insecurities she was pushing against in a time long past. ‘She… Did I mean myself with she or some other?’ the dark alicorn wondered her brow furrowing as she went for lunch. The mare just arrived too, strolling through the doors to the private dining room. The plush sun-themed cushion of her sister was on the left head of the table, while her more night-themed one was on the right...occupied. A stallion sat on it, smirking with his cock erect. A cook it seemed from the attire with a dark grey coat and a grey mane. Luna blushed, though didn’t stop to walk towards him. She wasn’t allowed to deny anypony. If she did, her sister would be informed immediately. She knew, because it happened before. Back then, this led to her being punished, forced to sleep in the servant’s quarters for three days. She barely got any sleep during that time. ‘Was Equestria always this perverted?’ she thought, not recalling any events close to what happened after her return. ‘Did 1000 years change ponies this much?’ Just as she was thinking this she sat down, her nether lips being parted by the thick cock as she was sinking down on it. Luna tried to focus, trying to remember what she was just thinking about, but the hooves gripping her flanks and bouncing her on his shaft were far too distracting to really grasp it again. A familiar feeling by now. This week she had repeatedly thought on certain subjects, trying to focus on them as it felt like she was overlooking something as if there was something missing, only to have it all shoved right outside her head and replaced by the feeling of a rock-hard cock scrapping along her insides. “Y-Your order?” asked a pale brown maid with a darker brown mane. It made Luna blush as she hadn’t noticed her. Her head turned to her shyly as she tried to mull it over, while holding in her moans. “Just give her the usual,” the cook told the maid, shooing her away with the flick of his hoof. The mare did nod and quickly headed back into the kitchen, seemingly more than happy to get out of the room. Disrespect as respect she had yet to earn. She accepted it demurely, appeasing the cook as her arousal was tickling his balls. An arousal that was constant by now for her. Repeated stimulation several times a day did increase her libido and made her anticipate these pervert encounters. There was no knowing if she might run into a situation beforehand. That unknown factor was a thrill in its own way. Her pliable pink walls were used to cock, wrapping around any of the countless shafts that occupied her hole. As an alicorn her marehood could recover any stretching, keeping her nice and tight, no matter if half the castle had a go at her. And she accepted it in this moment. Her body aiding in the bouncing, her plot meeting up with his hips and thrusting deeply into her. ‘I-It will be over sooner if I do so,’ she told herself. By that point she already had her food prepared. She wasn’t sure if she didn’t notice the time passing properly with this distraction, or if the cooks were simply that fast in their work. All the same, her magic started to glow, a fork lifting to dig into some pasta carbonara, white streaks being seen on it that didn’t quite look like the sauce that was mixed with the noodles. She ate without complaint. The last time she asked about it, they only added more. And...the taste didn’t detract from the meal by much. The hard thrusts were parting her marehood, the large rod giving her plenty stimulation as she felt it throb inside her. A cacophony of slaps filling the room as she moaned into her mouthfuls of food, one fork full after another.  Minutes ticked by as she ate, the cook seemingly holding back as to not cum too soon into her, to drag this moment out. It wasn’t too often after all one could do things like this with an alicorn. Once he reached his peak he came inside her. A cry left her lips as the hot cum filled her pink walls up with its thick substance. She was wet, yet she hadn’t cum yet. Though that wasn’t a problem as Luna was sure there would be plenty of other ponies to do this. The pony shoved her plot off him and slipped out from under her, making the mare shudder as the cock flopped free and onto the royal pillow, staining it. Her own plot came down only shortly after he had extracted himself, her slit oozing his salty payload as she knew it would stain the pillow. She didn’t even notice the cook getting back into the kitchen as as she finished up her meal. A sigh escaped her as she quickly stood up and hurried outside, feeling like she would have to clean herself again. Just as she was outside in the corridor did a passing patrol see her, a smirk spreading across his face. He practically skipped forward, already his cock hardening. Then he leaned his head up to hers, seemingly less interested in starting off immediately. She held herself there obediently. If a kiss was what he wanted, she would grant it to the white-furred stallion. His lips quickly touched hers, though there was something strange about it. Something almost nostalgic for some reason. White lips. A crack appeared. A pair of white lips. Another crack, followed by another as she couldn’t help but think of something. Some event back with her sister. Something like encouraging words coming to her mind unbidden. In a mere moment the mental walls shattered. Memories flooded her mind unbidden, crashing against her mental surface as they clicked in place. Her fur was darkening and she could barely hear the guard screaming something down the hallway to a nearing stallion. The white lips. White lips of her sister as she pressed them onto her, pushing for that relationship with her sister that night. No, Luna’s sister. She wasn’t Luna. She was a separate entity. A separate entity that was suppressing Luna currently. She wasn’t the real moon princess. It made her grit her teeth noisily. Teeth that were growing sharp as she also grew in height. She was Nightmare Moon. And she remembered what her ‘lovely sister’ did to her. Not to mention the changeling queen that was filling out that order under the guise of being an equestrian princess. “The sheer gall…” she growled ferally, her slit eyes setting on the guards that were about to tackle her. A swipe of her head had the fools drop to the ground via a sleep spell. The least noisy solution for this. Nightmare counted her blessings that the inhibitor ring was only for a week on her horn, otherwise she would have more trouble. Sadly, judging by the screams of nearby guards the spell wouldn’t leave her undetected. There were already reinforcements. She was about to head off when the regalia around her neck released an eerie glow from its crystal. Then she was shocked by it. Her muscles locked up, making her fall to the ground weakly as a whole battalion of guards arrived. Being an alicorn she fought the pain, sending a few more destructive spells their way. Two explosions went off, sending the guards flying. And she would have continued wasn’t it for five black forms suddenly jumping down on her, taking her by surprise. She let out a yelp, the electricity not doing much to the black creatures that pressed her down. All was over so fast as they tried to put a ring on her horn. Seeing this she fought it again, lighting her horn, only to have the creature bite down on it, grunting in pain from the magic. Nightmare’s scream was louder in comparison. The sensitive nerves in her horn were flaring up in pain. There was nothing for her to do as she was subdued with an inhibitor ring. The guards came to help by then, holding her still and shackling her, before quickly dragging her down to the dungeons, not caring about anypony along the way as they brought her to her old cell. It felt nostalgic almost. Being here in the cell again after the mental trickery had worn off. She really wanted to give the bug a piece of her mind for this violation, but she knew that the true culprit was of course Celestia. Maybe it shouldn’t be surprising and yet Nightmare didn’t think she would ever go this far. It only reinforced her beliefs even more. Her ears shot up as she heard hoof steps echoing in the corridor. She already could tell who it was. The clang of royal horseshoes was distinctive enough. Barely a minute later the cell door was opened and she saw the white alicorn again. A heavy scowl was on her muzzle. She sighed out, seeming all too tired in her glare. “Why are you making this so hard on yourself?” > Chapter 13: Punishment of a Nightmare (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Why are you making this so hard on yourself?” Celestia asked. A question that one could almost mistake for concern, while it was anything but that. It was more disappointment that her plans weren’t working out quite as well as she had hoped. And now she had to deal with her failing plans, trying to find a better way to make her docile, so that Nightmare can be forced to parade around as Luna. It was clear. So crystal clear. While she just has awoken from the brainwashing that was inflicted to her, Nightmare was sharp enough to pierce through her memories and get a detailed picture of the situation. The sharpest detail being: Luna was introduced to Equestria and expected to be seen with Celestia. There was no fight, there was no war. No excuse like she got possessed and had to be banished would be easily believable. Even less with how weak she was acting around others. And that didn’t even account for the fact that Celestia didn’t want to get rid of her, as she was in her sister’s body. So there was a high chance that the only viable option was for Celestia to try and pull that stunt again. A stunt she couldn’t pull again, if she didn’t find a stronger potion for it. In other words, she had time. It made the dark alicorn smirk, despite her situation of being back in this dingy cell. Nightmare had time and Celestia would be troubled for as long as she wasn’t her mind-controlled puppet. A funny thought, so she looked at the cursed sun alicorn with amusement. “I would say I got used to these accommodations. Besides, the only bed I would consider sleeping in is yours, after you fall before me.” Celestia sighed, pinching her brow. “I shouldn’t have expected anything less. And here I was thinking of trying to be diplomatic. To offer you, to be put back into your prior state and live a happy life as a princess, though I assume you do indeed have no interest in this?” The dark mare snorted, “As a mare of the night I come in contact with minds. They are fickle little things. Messing with them to such a degree is monstrous, even by my own standards. So agreeing to practically make me a drooling vegetable that spouts nonsense like ‘I love you, sister!’ is quite the sickening thought.” She kept the ‘I’d prefer execution’ out of her rant, even as it was on the edge of her tongue. But that was mainly that it would mean the death of Luna, as she was in said mare’s body. “...I see,” she nodded as if affirming it again and her next course of action. “Then I will have to find a different solution for this. And to punish you for harming the guards. This is a righteous state, so I cannot allow such behavior.” After that she turned to leave, making Nightmare snarl. “Oh yeah?! Who do you think is breaking the bucking law in the first place with your mind tricks?!” The moon princess was ignored, as the cell door closed, only the slight hoof clopping could be heard as Nightmare trashed against her bindings. “It isn’t my fault! How should I have known that the potion was too weak to keep an alicorn contained?!” Chrysalis argued as Celestia had called her to her chambers, a heavy scowl on the solar princess’s muzzle as they sat opposite from each other on the couches. “While it was an experimental treatment, it is your responsibility to monitor Nightmare and the continued effectiveness of your work. That it didn’t hold is severely disappointing and makes me question your competence.” The changeling queen bit her tongue, lest she said something she would regret. It was all a bit turmoil. She had almost immediately heard about the situation, what with her changelings being a key factor for the Nightmare’s capture, though it didn’t give her any time to think of a way to deal with the clearly annoyed alicorn princess. She really wished Shining was still here. Having him by her side to back her up, while probably pointless, at least would have encouraged her. Not to say that she was planning to cower here now, but she cannot jeopardize her people for the momentary satisfaction of ‘slapping a hoe’, no matter how deserved it may be. “I did monitor her! She was captured immediately by my very own! So, do not imply that she could have run off and ruined it all. I am convinced the procedure would have worked...normally. We probably only underestimated the strong will of an alicorn like her. So, while it definitely works on normal ponies, an alicorn needs something with more potency. I will send my best changelings for this job and see to its completion.” “I am sure you will,” Celestia said, tapping her hoof to the ground. “But this alone will take too long. So I will supplement my very own scientists to progress this project on their own, separately from you and your changelings. The changeling approach failed and is not enough to fulfil this role. It is a simple safety measure.” It was a clear insult. A clear disrespect and distrust to her changelings’ capabilities. Sure, they were still leading their own project, but now they were forced to compete with pony scientist that were essentially mingling in their business. Chrysalis didn’t like that as she gritted her teeth, glaring at her. “We are capable and can do it on our own. There is no need for an outside group to start research of their own.” After the alicorn sipped on her tea, she smacked the cup noisily on the table, giving a glare of her own that allowed no room for argument. “I am not discussing this. I am merely informing you. You failed once, so you obviously need the pressure of a competing pony party to do the job right this time. And if you fail again, I have simply another option to turn to. Anything else I won’t accept.” “...Fine then. And who are these ponies you have in mind?” she said, backing down and slightly lowering her head to avoid eye contact, but was still very much irritated. Celestia at least let up, stopping her deep scowl to sip again. “Frankly, this is none of your business. Just know that they are more than adequate for this purpose.” “Really now?” “Really,” Celestia verbally pushed back with emphasis. “It should be motivation for you. After what happened, I would have any right to reveal every single one of your changeling. But I won’t, for now. If you however fail again...let’s just say, you shouldn’t. Is that clear?” “Crystal,” Chrysalis growled, trying her best to real her anger in at the clear threat. Celestia smiled, sipping on her cup. “Good. You are dismissed.” The changeling queen stood up, if hesitantly, not really comfortable to just break the conversation off like this. There was much room for argument, but she knew Celestia would give her none. It was frustrating and yet she listened and pulled back, for the sake of her race. She allowed herself to harrumph in a simple act of defiance as she walked out head held high, leaving the sun princess to her devices. On the very early morning, Nightmare was let out of her cell and led through the many passageways and to the back of the palace. It was probably to keep her as much out of the public eye as possible for what was to come. Punishment. Celestia had announced it and now she would pull it through. The dark mare already imagined that it could be something sexual. The stocks at Nightmare Night gave her a good enough guess as to how it would turn out. At least they had the sense to get the much too tight regalia off of her. After the brainwashing broke, she did after all return to her normal form, meaning that she was thicker and taller than the regalia was adjusted for. It was only a slight comfort in her current situation. Soon she reached her destination. It was an old unused training courtyard that had yet to find a new purpose. The grassy plain was shut off on the left and right by the palace, providing a visual cover for whatever was planned. And there was something terrible planned. The sun alicorn stood there, but she wasn’t alone. A large red dragon, about as high as a first floor building stood there, seemingly conversing. Not nearly as big as a fully grown one, but a young adult at least, so still very much intimidating to normal ponies at least. His golden slitted eyes, zoomed in on her, making Nightmare shudder despite herself,  at the clear leering gaze of the greedy reptile. Celestia turned around, scowling. “Good. You are here,” she said, as the guards lead her forward, the back of the spears shoving her behind to get her moving. Nightmare put up a strong front, pressing her chest out as she walked forward, her sharp teeth sneering at the white mare. “Yes. I wouldn’t miss any of my appointments with you,” she mocked. A smile was given as way of answer as Celestia waved a wing to her left. “That is nice to hear. Now then, I don’t plan on spending too much time here, so this is the dragon that will take care of your punishment for me. So he will take care of you, while I am away.” A humorous snort escaped the creature as it bared its sharp fangs. Fangs that were putting her own to shame. “...Just where are you going with this?” “You haven’t figured it out yet? Very well then. Dragon, give her a visual demonstration.” The dragon did so, going from its four-legged standing position into a sitting position with a smirk. Why he smirked was quite obvious. Even more so than that it was a ‘he’. The proof for the latter stood tall and proud in front of her eyes. A large draconic shaft. It was about four of her forelegs thick, not even counting the knot that went wider than that. The tip was pointed and it had ridges along its base and upper side. It was a shape far different from that of an equine. Shape was of course not the issue, but the size. “Y-You cannot be serious,” Nightmare sputtered, her cheeks tinted red as her eyes trailed along the thick veins traveling along it. “I am. It was a grave crime, so a grave punishment is in order.” “You have gone mad,” she said dumbfounded, before snarling. “Is that really how far you are gone? This is what you do with your enemies? This is a shame that will forever haunt you!” Celestia snorted, glaring back, “Judgement, from you? I don’t think that will be quite effective. Nor would anypony take your side over this. I gave you a choice. A generous offer. A way out. You decided to slap my hoof away and now you are dealing with the consequences. Because you still don’t realize that you have lost.” Another shout was expected, but what came surprised the sun princess. Nightmare’s lip curled up in a mocking smile, before laughter bubbled up inside of her. As it broke out, it filled the entirety of the yard. Celestia stared at her uncomprehending as if she was the one that had lost her mind, while the dark mare fought back her chuckles before calming back down to an unpleasant smile. “Lost? Foolish mare. It is already too late. My plan is already set in motion, so you are the one that will lose.” The smugness was dripping from every word and making Celestia’s stomach churn. She stepped forward sternly. “What do you mean by that, Nightmare? What plan?” “Oh wouldn’t you want to know. But I am not telling,” then she dropped her pleasant smile, baring her fangs and making the sun princess take a step back. “I swear!” her voice boomed, “I swear that I will take you down! That I will dethrone you! It is I who shall rule this world!” ‘For Luna,’ she added in her mind, staring defiantly at the wretched sun princess who was surprised for only a moment before mirroring her. Only that Celestia’s horn also started glowing. “You won’t!” Only a moment later, a gag went into Nightmare’s mouth, clasping shut tightly, while the mare tried to snarl and shook her head. She was about to charge but was quickly held in place by the alicorn’s magic as she secured her hooves with two spreading bars, one for front and one for back hooves, before chaining them into the ground. Once done, Celestia nodded in satisfaction. “Now, if you excuse me, I need to get to my student and assign her a new task. I am sure you will be quite busy with your own.” She then turned and left. Celestia left her, slowly trotting out of the large courtyard, not even staying to oversee the carnage she was wrecking on her. After all, the insertion was big and the stretching surely wouldn’t be comfortable. And yet, Celestia didn’t care. Not a single shred of care for this body, her sister’s body as she simply trusted that their alicorn healing factor and natural stretchiness would deal with any damage or gaping this punishment surely would result in. She could only muffledly curse after her, even as the chuckling dragon got back on four legs and walked over to her. “A wild one, is it? This is quite the fortunate turn of events for me. You best hold still and make it easier for yourself. We don’t want you to get hurt too much, do we?” the dragon rumbled, his strong voice and presence enough for the guards to quickly back off to the sides and give the creature plenty of room. He was stepping over her in an instant, his shadow casting down on her. Seconds later she felt something poking against her flanks. Something hot, something pulsing, something wide. There was no need to ask what it was. It swayed along her rear as she tried to move, but couldn’t and then she felt the pointed tip mashing against her marehood, slightly dipping in, about to enter. She couldn’t help but shudder. She was about to quickly adjust her plot to stop the line up, though was too late as the dragon was already pushing forward. The hot feeling spread along her marehood as it was slowly and agonizingly parted. The sharp tip helped with that as it was stretching her slowly, starting small before the inevitable spreading of her walls came to pass. Nightmare grunted as the tip slipped in, followed by inch after inch of his draconic shaft. A shaft that was as long as her body. She could feel the ripples along it scratching teasingly along her walls, even with how her pussy felt like it was burning from the way too large insertion. “Quite tight!” the dragon groaned, seeming pleased with the hole that the sun princess offered him. “Let’s see if we can’t do something about it~” The dark mare lurched forward, almost falling if it wasn’t for her hooves being bound in place. He was deep. Really deep. Already he had forced his way into her womb and was now stretching her entire pussy in both directions as she felt the large knot hitting her cunt. Her mouth hung open by that point, her eyes wide. Not a word came out, no gasp with how shocked she was at the situation. Then the dragon moved. The only thing holding her in place were the chains to her hooves as her whole body had trouble to stay still. It was a strong pull that came as the dragon’s cock slowly retreated. Her ass practically was pulled backwards as much as the bindings allowed it. And then he pushed back forward, moving her body in the opposite reaction. It was something seemingly incomprehensible. Feeling this beast move her body around from his mere slow thrusts. This action only showed the force that this dragon wielded. The force of a mating that was not meant for normal ponies. But Nightmare was an alicorn. And as an alicorn she could take it. This was Celestia’s bet that she could take it and that the massive strain on her hole would be sufficient punishment to deter her from any future flight attempts. In the moment it at least worked. There were no thoughts of fleeing on her mind or revolution. She was just too distracted by the massive cock, rocking her entire body, nay, one could say her entire world! And despite the feeling of being spread to the limit, with the discomfort and pain it brought, she could feel the cock raking teasingly along her sensitive walls, causing some manner of pleasure to spark in her brain. It was only slow at first, but it was a steady increase. An increase that came with the slight increase of the dragon’s motions. Muffled moans were hard to hold back as her body, despite the incredible size difference, reminded her that she was still just a mare. A mare with needs. A mare whose body had acclimated to quite a lot of carnal activities. Still, in her position she wondered if Celestia had somehow drugged her for her to feel this way. It was a fleeting thought, though even if that was the case there was little she could do. So she let herself get swapped away. Let the dragon violate her helpless body and ruin her pussy like no other stallion managed to do until now. Shame bloomed in her as she was forced towards a climax, making her give some weak struggles. Struggles that the dragon didn’t even seem to notice as he simply kept at a steady pace by now. A pace that he soon sped up once more. Arousal was running down the mare’s legs. After the climax there was a puddle beneath her and she was sure it would grow further if things continued. Her inner walls felt sensitive. Sensitive enough to not hold out for long as she felt the ripples rubbing along her insides. Her head was low, her moans easily breaking through the gag as the dragon let out a guttural chuckle that seemed to vibrate in her bones. His hips pushed into her, farther and farther, making the large bulge beneath her show as he forced a few more inches in. Then he gyrated into her teasingly, short bursts of movement to stretch her womb and pussy with. Nightmare’s legs shook, before crying out and cumming again. The dragon took that as his cue to go back to his regular fast-paced thrusts. His hot precum was freely spilled into her hole. And it was hot. Not hot enough to hurt and neither was his cock, but a noticeable difference from ponies, showing that a mare like her had no business having such a thing inserted into her. The drake of course was happy, even if she was smaller and her temperature was lower as he was not about to let such an attractive offer of the sun princess go to waste. Attractive even more now that he was inside her and could feel her pony walls contracting around his dick. “Mmmm, such a nice little pony,” he purred as he felt himself crossing the edge, his cum ready to explode into Nightmare. A fitting term, considering the massive burst of spunk that made her womb bulge out noticeably. She cried out at the sudden expansion as the hot cum was defiling her insides. There was little for her to do as scream as the big dragon hilted into her, groaning and enjoying his climax. As he pulled back for a bit, her loose cunt was shooting his spunk out of her snatch. It couldn’t hold it all in after he pulled back just a bit and the resulting space giving enough room for it to wetly hit the ground and form a sizable puddle beneath her. The flow soon slowed to a halt. For a moment the alicorn thought it was over, only for the massive shaft to start moving inside her again. Another involuntary moan was wrest from her lips as she could only helplessly stare forward and hope he would tugger out soon. Though she knew this wouldn’t happen that easily with a dragon. A long day passed like this as Nightmare slowly slipped out of consciousness, plans of wrath on her mind right before it all went black. End of Arc 1: Imprisonment of a Nightmare > Bonus Chapter Arc 1 to 2: Shining and the Kirins (Clop) > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shining Armor was sitting on a table in a large townhall, legs spread as three different kirin heads were slathering over his balls and shaft, cleaning him up. One even suckled on his balls, teasing it as the stallion simply enjoyed the moment. This place he was sent to was magical. Well, in multiple senses of the word, with this mythical race of kirins. He wondered what else he had never seen what was outside of Equestria. And did Chrysalis know about these things too? His journey, while taxing, did work out well for him after he managed to reach the kirin’s hidden village. Or somewhat well, considering that they couldn’t say anything. As per instructions he was to get the magical item in question, so he needed to get the kirin leader's permission, though seemingly he had to go through the ten kirins that made up the council of this place first, if he did understand the pantomime act of them correctly. This was where Chrysalis’ orders came in. The orders to finally enjoy other mares. She even had lent him a strong potency potion for durability. Shining didn’t know that he needed it. Turns out kirin were rather submissive people. A strong, tall stallion with a commanding tone had them bow their heads shyly, and touching didn’t elicit any negative response either. The opposite in fact, as could be seen now in the aftermath. At first they did refuse him after all. Then, after using his dominance, they seemed more submissive. As he touched their flanks they still refused. Still, they seemed to revel in the feelings of slight arousal, almost as if the silencing of emotions made them crave every little feeling they could get. The feeling in question now arousal and then pleasure. They actually instigated it halfway with how some of them sniffed his equipment. The more reluctant ones he had to lead down to his junk. From there it all devolved into an orgy to pull them all on his side. Well an orgy with him as the only one that did plunge holes with his dick. Though he didn’t quite notice at the start that the kirins he had slather up his balls were actually stallions. Five stallions to be exact, while the other five kirins were females. Seemingly the wives of these stallions. It was a bit awkward after he finally noticed it. Then again, as the five tongues were lapping obediently around his shaft, he didn’t find it in him enough to care. Kirin stallions pretty much looked like mares. Muzzle shape and all. You had to look in real close to inspect their eyes and the missing defined eyelashes to notice. Their ‘equipment’ wasn’t really notable either if he didn’t look under their barrels. So as far as he cared, he still had five pretty mares prepping him. He mounted them. The five females. There was no holding back as he lined them up on a long table and went through them all, earning squeals and moans of approval. Well, it was more like noises. Sounded more primal as there was something with their vocal cords. Anyway, all were leaking his cum from their pussies as the males were watching and seeming rather aroused. So, he decided to take care of them as well, putting them on their wives, belly-to-belly and riding their asses just as hard. Once he was done, they were leaking his spunk just as much as their wives. It made him wonder if he impregnated any of the kirin mares, though he knew Chrysalis would approve of it and even wanted to add some as concubines to play around with. Naughty bug. Now that seven are out for the count, strewn around the room on their bellies, backs, hanging off the table, as well as many other positions, he was just having the still conscious two stallions and mare clean him up. Once done, he nodded in approval. “Good job. Now two of you get a break, while one of you leads me to your leader Rainshine.” He knew the name as he had ordered them to write it on a chalkboard in the room. The only way the kirins could communicate. That is how he knew the names of the council as well. While the dark brown mare Cinder Glow collapsed on the floor instantly and started to snore, the two stallions seemed reluctant to do so. Maybe they couldn’t agree who was going to lead him? It was certainly the most quiet argument he had seen. And emotionless. The pale green kirin stallion Forest Fall and the brown kirin stallion Fern Flare were insistent, in their own quiet way, making the white stallion smirk as he shook his head. “Chrysalis would demand I bend you over again for hindering me like this, though I don’t mind if two cute ladies like you escort me to Rainshine together,” he told them with a charming smile. Confusing as it was, they looked like mares, so he had little trouble treating them like it as he pulled them to his side and walked along, one in each hoof. They of course didn’t protest, blushing in a light tone. Shining guessed that this was what they wanted, those cuddly kirins, so they quickly made their way out and towards Rainshine. Just strolling around made the guard captain pensive. Was he adjusting to this too fast? He was rather reluctant in Canterlot. ‘Probably the drug relaxing me to these situations as well. Wouldn’t be surprised if she hid that from me, sly as Chryssie is.’ Whatever the case, this mission made for a nice change of scenery. The whole affair with Cadance and Nightmare Moon was rather depressing and weighed heavily on his mind. He knew he decided right. Decided for the sake of an entire race, even if that race weren’t ponies. ‘Maybe it is important because they aren’t ponies. They are an isolated race, having to fight for survival. Bringing them into our fold not only will help them, but Equestria as well in the long-run as it will keep peace. A needed peace, seeing to what Chrysalis was driven. For peace there is a price to be paid.’ He shook his head. There was no need to think on this right now. This mission might as well be a small vacation he could use to clear his mind out and live a little. It was just sad that his lovebug wasn’t with him. The walk wasn’t that long as it turned out. Not really a surprise as this was still only a big village and not a town, so navigating was easy. He got close to the outskirts when he saw the leader. A leader that was easy to spot. Really, it was remarkable, but she seemed to be about as tall as Celestia and have roughly the same proportions too. Only her plot seemed more slender, giving her a more elegant and regal look overall. Rainshine...if he did remember her name correctly. The tall kirin mare in question turned to him, stopping her inspection of a newly built home, as she eyed him impassionately. Her eyes travelled to the two stallions leading him who bowed before her as Shining let go of them, giving a polite bow of his own. “Greetings Miss Rainshine. I am Captain Shining Armor from Equestria and I come to your kingdom on the Peaks of Peril today on a mission from Princess Celestia of the Sun. Would you be willing to lend me your valuable time?” The mare nodded, making Shining Armor smile. He hoped she would be this forthcoming when he made the request as well. “I appreciate your willingness to listen to her highness’s request. She heard that there is some magical item here she has an interest in. More specifically, the Potion of Silence.” Rainshine perked up a bit at this, showing Shining Armor that he certainly was at the right place. She seemed to stare at him for a long moment, though the guard captain wasn’t avoiding her gaze, head-on facing it. After a moment she shook her head, making Shining’s smile drop a bit as he looked thoughtfully at her. “Princess Celestia would appreciate a cooperation in this. Equestria itself is a wealthy country and trade could benefit your hard-to-reach nation and your kirins,” he pried again, and despite what he thought about kirins initially, she seemed to be a bit annoyed at his insistence, shaking her head with more force this time. “You want to keep this a secret?” he asked rhetorically, “Princess Celestia already knows that you have it and we could keep it a secret even if we trade it.” Another head shake as some smoke seemed to emanate from her mane, making the male kirins instinctively step back. It was a strange sight to be sure, but Shining Armor also heard a vague story about kirin history, so he had a theory about it. Kirins were rather interesting creatures. He was sure Twily would love being here to study them. And he was sure to study their leader more as well. Thoroughly. Drug-induced boldness made him step up to her without any hesitation, almost making it seem as if he was daring her to defy Princess Celestia instead of being the one who was defying her. Such a behavior and confidence surprised her, making her step back. A mistake. He lurched forward, being at her flank in seconds, gripping a hold of her rear as his snout dug into her revealed marehood. Shining knew that the kirins were receptive towards his approach and he was sure she would be to his touch as well, even if he had to enforce it. Rainshine let loose a surprised whinny, trying to shake her booty as if to shake him off, but the strong stallion simply gave her a smack to her ass in a reprimanding fashion as his tongue wiggled inside her. The mare’s breath came in faster as he teased her, but only for a moment before pulling out and looking away. “Last chance. Are you reaaaally sure you don’t want to share it?” Shining asked her with great confidence as Rainshine turned her neck back to face him. She seemed to get a bit more expressive after that little dive, seeming quite indignant. Either about his proposal or the fact that he was sexually violating her. Maybe both. The silence stretched on too long for him, so he already guessed her answer as he readied his legs and then launched himself on top of her. A bold move he normally wouldn’t do, but he felt somewhat impatient with her as well as the other kirin’s stalling him. Or maybe it was just the drug speaking that Chrysalis supplied him. Rainshine reared up on her hind legs, giving an alarmed neigh as Shining kept his hooves firmly on her while his dick stirred and then once fully erect slapped against her marehood. His hind legs let go of her and he used her back for his behind to rear back. Once he was arching back his front hooves tensed before pulling him back towards her, his rock-hard prick straight as an arrow pointing towards her pussy before impaling it with a loud smack of his hips on hers. An undignified moan escaped her, her eyes widening in surprise. Another weakness Shining used as he started to hump her plot with all her might, making her front legs shake as she gritted her teeth, her cheeks becoming an adorable red. The guard captain for his part enjoyed the subjugation of this mare. Her wet confines made a cozy home for his thick shaft and as tall and elegant as she was, it was almost as if he was fucking Princess Celestia herself. The notable resemblance helped with it too and for all intents and purposes Shining felt like he was conquering the world leader, ready to rule over all of Equestria. ‘...Chrysalis is rubbing off on me,’ he thought with a chuckle. The two male kirins stared at them, Shining giving them a wink as he made their leader moan out whorishly. His balls were constantly slapping against her, only adding to the pleasant sensations that her pussy was transmitting right up into her mind. She was rather receptive to these feelings of ecstasy too, showing the guard captain that she undoubtedly hadn’t been pleased in a long time. Now that he thought about it, this seemed to be more of a common topic. From what he gleaned they were under the influence of the Potion of Silence. This did not only mellow out their emotions, but also their sexual mood, meaning that they hardly could get each other aroused. But a new stallion in town, unaffected by it all? His novel musk alone was enough for some kirins to awaken their dormant lust. By now Rainshine had formed a puddle beneath her legs, a constant stream of her marecum running down along them, and Shining knew he had her. There was no resistance anymore. She couldn’t bring herself to it as she held still and let him violate her deeper than she had been for years. A smirk graced his lips as he leaned a bit forward, while still humping her sexy piece of flank. “What about now? What is your answer now? Are you still defying Equestria?” he asked her, giving a light smack to her ass and making her squeal as she came, her juices splashing right over his balls and legs, soaking them. Shining continued unhindered though, keeping up his pace and making her grind her teeth as if she was trying to hold back. Another mistake. Shining gave her other side a smack as well, eliciting a moan. “Your answer, Rainshine?” he asked her again, and this time she bit her lip and nodded her head demurely. The white stallion grinned. “Good girl~” he purred, making the mare shudder in perverse delight. His pace increased as he was working himself now to his own climax. Playtime was over as he had what he came here for. There were only a few details he had to work out still. “You will take the cure for this Potion of Silence, Rainshine,” he ordered her, “I know it exists as your council told me that there was a kirin that you drove out because she managed to speak again. With this cure we can communicate better.” She seemed shocked by what she was hearing, looking back and seeming even a tad annoyed now again. “Yes, you are afraid of using it, judging by the reactions of others, but you will manage. In all honesty, there is no reason to always control your emotions. Or are you saying that you are not liking this? To be ridden by a stallion?” he wondered, raising a brow as she snorted, right before another moan left her lips. “You love it. You love letting loose and don’t want to be restricted. There is no way you would want me to stop doing this with you from here on out whenever we meet. My cock is what you desire inside you, what you want to be pleased with. And besides that Rainshine...I really do love bad girls. So no holding back~” he purred again, pushing her buttons. This seemed to snap something inside of her as she came again and screamed, only this time did she burst into flames, her body turning charcoal black and gleaming white fangs growing from her mouth as Shining had his suspicions confirmed. The fire didn’t hurt him of course as he had anticipated this and cast a few anti-fire wards on himself before even entering the quaint little town. Once Rainshine came down from another high, she did seem surprised by it. There was clear worry in her eyes for a moment. “I am the Royal Guard Captain of Canterlot, so this much is nothing. Besides, my fianceé always bursts into fire.” Rainshine was dumbfounded by these comments, but took them at face value as she quickly got back to enjoying herself. She seemed much more lusty now in her behavior too, pressing her ass back more, even if it had little effect as he was on her and not touching the ground. The gesture was appreciated regardless. “Eager girl,” Shining commented, giving some quick hard thrusts into her as a reward. However, he then stopped for a moment with a thoughtful hum. The panting mare looked back at him, panting and confused before he gave her a mean grin. “You know...bad girls do need some punishments~” he told her teasingly before pulling back, his cock sliding right out of the mare’s wet pussy before angling it higher and pressing in. As fast as it slided out, it slipped into Rainshine’s ass who gave a surprised cry. There was some resistance, sure, though with how well-lubricated his shaft was and with how hard he was thrusting, it proved to be nothing but futile resistance in the end. “Nice and tight. I actually think I prefer that hole? What about you Rainshine? Does a bad girl like you like to be sodomized by a pony from outside?” he asked her as he started up his rhythm already. The mare growled in some frustration, as she tried to suppress some moans. Then she moved. Shining was a bit surprised by this, but quickly figured it out. “I see. Not fast enough for you? Are you fighting for control?” As if in answer his plot hit a tree, trapping him between it and the kirin leader. She then started to pull her well-formed ass off his cock, before plunging it deeply into it again, making the guard captain grunt in pleasure. “Oh yeah. You are definitely a bad girl!” His hooves kept on her ass as she was smashing her behind into him repeatedly, starting to give her own rhythm. The grin on her muzzle as well as the occasional moans showed quite well that she was enjoying herself even with his cock up her ass or maybe even more than she did when it was up her pussy. The guard captain let her have her fun for a bit, but wasn’t planning to really hand over the reins to her. This was after all a negotiation and he needed to show his superiority in it. As such he angled his hind legs so that they were pressing into the tree before he launched himself forward. His dick buried balls-deep into her from the force and made the nirik squeal as she came once more. Her front legs buckled from under her, letting her chest and head hit the ground as Shining regained control while she was writhing in another climax. “You shouldn’t try to usurp the power from the equestrian guard. That won’t end well for you,” Shining told her with a smug smile. Rainshine could only give some weak moans in response. It was hard to tell if they were a plea for surrender or a last act of defiance. Shining didn’t care as he latched onto her body, his front hooves snaking down around her leg and to her pussy, where he squished that lovely pink nub of hers as he continued to assault her anal walls with his battering ram of a cock. It was a blissful situation. To utterly dominate this large mare and leader of the kirin tribe. There was no holding back in this situation and Shining felt clearly how he was edging towards his own climax, though he was quite determined to drive her over the edge one last time to show her who really was on top here. He grunted as the slapping echoed loudly through the streets. By now there had actually gathered a crowd, watching them curiously. Or maybe eagerly? The spectacle of a pony guard captain dominating a rogue nirik was something that seemed to be a must watch in any case. It was good seeing how this would spare him some time announcing their alliance with Equestria. After all, what more fitting picture would there be than seeing their leader be the bottom to a pony stallion? “Ooooh! That’s it Rainshine! I’m cumming!” Shining announced, grunting as he pinched her clit between his hooves. The mare beneath him let out one last loud squeal as her hind legs quivered and she came, her juices spraying shamefully all over the ground as her subjects were watching her defeat. Her mane flickered up as she felt his hot cum invading her at the same time, the hot sperm painting her bowels white. She could feel how much he was pumping. Spurt after spurt making sure for his payload to reach deep into her as she could do little more than shudder as her brain was fried in her blissful climax. Once Shining was done he pulled out, a burst of cum following and splattering noisily on the ground. The guard captain seemed satisfied, patting her rear as she slowly turned back, before he walked up to her front. He put his hoof under her chin and brought her muzzle close to his. “Now, get this pony that has the cure and take it. After that you will show me where I can get the potion I need. Sounds good?” he whispered huskily before diving forward, setting his lips on her and pushing his tongue inside. Rainshine let loose a pleased tired groan as he was dominating her tongue, showing off his skills as he was claiming her in front of her little kirins. Her pussy winked in clear delight and she found her lips following his as he pulled off, some drool connecting them for a moment. The mare was dazed, but still managed to nod with a dopey smile as Shining smiled to himself, satisfied. He then turned around to the two stallions. “Help her,” he ordered them and they bowed their head to him as they did just that. After that he had all eyes on him and could see quite an array of blushes and even erect cocks at the display. Shining took it as a compliment. “I hereby announce that Rainshine and I have come to an...agreement. She will drink the cure so that we can build up proper relations between your nation and Equestria. Princess Celestia is pleased and her sun shines down on you all benevolently as your home will prosper, and so will Equestria. Go back on your way. If any of you want to drink the cure as well, it can be applied. I am sure I can convince your leader Rainshine...for a price that is~” he said playfully with a wink, making a mare duck down her head in the crowd as she blushed, just like some others were blushing. “Now you can go back on your way,” he finished, letting the crowd slowly disperse as he gets back to the town hall. He would have to tell any of the council kirins that didn’t make it here about this. And of course while he was at it get directions to Rainshine’s home. He needed a place to crash after all. Shining felt relieved that he managed to work through the problem without too much resistance. It wouldn’t be long before he returned home to Chrysalis at this rate. To return to his lovely queen. There was something nagging at him despite this good news. The use for the potion. He was reminded of Cadance banging her metal muzzle against the walls of her cell, making such a solution necessary in the first place. It made Shining wonder if Princess Celestia was testing his loyalty. She probably does. By now though he felt less bothered by it. These depressing thoughts were something he felt lessening, the more he had sex. Maybe he was just working off the stress like this? In any case, it was sure to say that Chrysalis was right. He shouldn’t have held back as he did and he was happy enough to tell her that once he sees her again. For now though he would work some more on the relationship between ponies and kirins. “Yes. After all, I have to make sure they feel connected...deeply, with Equestria and the Princess.”
