In the largest manufacturing star sector within Imperial Alicorn space ‘the IAS Themis’ a long-range assault space shuttle, exits the docking bay of the Pleiades palace, a citadel class space station in the Seven Sister star sector on its way to the planet of Equus for business and pleasure visit with the Silverlight Antiquities and Heritage research team in Equestria.

Sitting at a small desk in a large stateroom aboard the shuttle with her long imperial Alicorn legs crossed, one knee tossed casually over the other, finishing up several invoices before the assault space shuttle executes a wormhole jump to the space above the Planet of Equus was magnificent looking pale pink imperial Alicorn mare with old gold colored mane and tail.

Her athletic 6ft 4in equine figure was attired in a rose red colored form-fitting space suit with white trim. On her, ten and one half inches great, tapered shaped pale pink bare
feet with navy blue toenail polish were rose red colored form-fitting boots. And folded on her back were her gold bejewelled bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings.

This Imperial Alicorn mare was Queen Aphrodite Heavens, the ruler of the seven sisters’ star sector and older sister of Empress Galaxy Cosmos and the great-grandaunt of Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight.

(Few minutes after the Empress left the psychic dimension)

"Niece, had your mother forgotten what happened to your cousin went she tried to change fate?" The third Imperial Alicorn mare constellation asked as a shooting star dropped from her eye.

"I wish I knew auntie? I was forced to hunt down my cousin Queen Aurora Vapor and her husband, King Somnus Vapor; the Dark matter infected them, and fate was changed." The second imperial Alicorn mare constellation comments, its voice in a lifeless monotone.

(On Planet of Equus)

At the newly completed air and space base called ‘Ponyville one’ Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight and his wife, Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, wait for the arrival of ‘IAS Themis’ his great-grandaunt long-range assault shuttle. But so far, it is different from how Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight would like.

His wife, Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, has created a set of magical stocks and locked her reasonably large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet in them and tied her own shapely and delicately rounded, not too long toes to the stocks. She has firmly told her husband if he wants her to meet his great-grandaunt Queen Aphrodite Heavens, he must tickle her into submission to even think about meeting the sister of Empress Galaxy Cosmos.

Went Justice asked Celestia ‘why?’ she told him it all on her principles; with that statement, Justice has no idea why it would be against her principles to meet his great-grandaunt. Knowing his wife is very stubborn when it comes to her principles, Justice knows it would be futile to argue with his wife's stubbornness and leave her locked in the foot stocks; he will deal with her later.

On the tarmac of the air and space base, Justice watches as two hundred four foot long Imperial Alicorn assault shuttle comes in for a landing. After a brief moment, a rolling staircase is placed in front of the hatch; as the hatch opens, standing on top landing was Queen Aphrodite Heavens, attired in a white-orange midi length short-sleeve fit and flare dress.

On her sumptuous, tapered shaped, pale pink bare feet with navy blue toenail polish were nude colored mare's heeled sandals with three and one-fourth-inch blocked heels. Through the opening in front of the sandals, you could clearly see her big toes were the longest on her feet. Why all her other toes taper off her feet very symmetrically. And folded on her back were her gold bejewelled bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings.

“Welcome to the Planet of Equus… great grandaunt Heavens," Justice said casually as Aphrodite hugged and kissed him on his cheek.

“I thank you, great-grandnephew Silverlight…Did you come alone? Where’s that wife of yours?" Aphrodite asked knowing already what his wife Celestia was doing and the reason.

"I am sorry great, grandaunt…but my wife is being stubborn. I have no idea why she acting like that. But she inside." Justice was disappointed as Aphrodite walked into the building.

Inside the building, Celestia sighed with relief that her husband didn't take the option of tickling her into submission as she dared him to. Celestia rests her reasonably large, long, full, thick, plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet on the ground after extracting her shapely and perfect ankles from the lower half of the wooden stocks.

She suddenly hears the click-clacking of heels on the cement floor of the building coming toward her and quickly puts her shapely and perfect ankles back into the wooden stocks thinking it is her husband coming back to convince her again. Went she did, she never noticed that her very light gold magic aura had changed into a forest green magic aura.

As the click-clack of heels slowly came near her, she gasped; walking toward her was not her husband but a pale pink imperial Alicorn mare with an old gold-colored mane and tail. She figures this imperial Alicorn mare is Justice's great-grandaunt Queen Aphrodite Heavens; with that idea in mind, she tries to free herself from stocks, so she can leave.

"I am sorry, niece-in-law, but you are not going anywhere now. What my great grandnephew doesn't know about being the sister of the Empress Galaxy Cosmos is that I can take control of other magic." Aphrodite explains as she creates a feather and slowly strokes Celestia's sexy deep set and high arch with the feather.

"I know niece-in-law that your arches are very sensitive to this feather," Aphrodite commented as the moment she started stroking Celestia's arch, her leg instantly tense-up from the tickling of her arch.

"Now, niece-in-law, I will stop tickling your arch if you talk to me like the Imperial Princess you are and not some scorn mare," Aphrodite said firmly as she stroked her arch even slower than before, causing the tingling sensation to become enhanced.

Aphrodite watches as Celestia uses all her willpower to resist the constant slow stroking of her highly sensitive arch with the first feather. But the moment Aphrodite creates a second feather and begins slowly stroking her other arch Celestia explodes with maniacal laughter as she tickles her arches simultaneously in a slow matter. She was in hysterics in no time; the sensations shot up her legs and exploded in her mind.

“Ahahahahahahahah!! Stop it!!! Ahahahahahah!!" Celestia screamed, agreeing to talk to her like an Imperial Princess that she is.

"That is what I would expect from the sister of Empress Galaxy Cosmos," Celestia said testily as Aphrodite's green eyes sharpened on her niece-in-law.

"What! I am nothing like my younger sister!" Aphrodite said irately as Celestia gasped with what Aphrodite said.

"Your younger sister?" Celestia said, confused.

“Maybe I should tickle those arches to teach you a lesson, Miss Alicorn!” Aphrodite said hotly as Celestia quickly slapped her hands over her bare soles to keep her from tickling her feet again.

"Please forgive me…Miss Heavens. I thought Empress Cosmos was older because she is the ruler." Celestia said apologetically as Aphrodite shook her head.

“I was the ruler for several millenniums…but after the death of Knight Candidate Clotho Aureola at the Omicron Military Institute Academy because I turn a blind eye to the commandant greed…I relinquish the throne to my younger sister." Aphrodite explains as Celestia's chest becomes heavy, knowing the feelings she experienced firsthand.

On the tarmac, Justice waits for the pilot to debark the shuttle; his great-grandaunt Aphrodite asks him to wait for her. From the hatch appears a stunning beautiful dim gray imperial Alicorn mare with an orange/yellow mane and tail. Her 6ft 2in physically fit equine figure was attired in a periwinkle-colored form-fitting space suit. On her dim gray tapered shape, bare feet were periwinkle-colored form-fitting boots.

And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola, the Crown of light Aerospace battle group commander aboard his aircraft carrier and a close friend like all the mares on his ship.

"So Erato Aureola…you are taking over for Urania Corona at her duty station," Justice said with a pretend sarcastic air that she picked up on quickly.

"Well, someone has to be the adult…." Erato said with pretend contempt as she squealed at him.

Watching the exchange between the two Imperial Alicorns were Celestia and Aphrodite. Celestia, as expected, was getting very jealous of the other Imperial Alicorn mare talking to her husband; she fixed a level stare on her husband when he squeezed the other mare's sides, causing her to yelp with surprise.

"Imperial Princess Silverlight! Cool your jets! That other mare is Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola, commander of the Crown of the light aerospace battle group on your husband's ship and one of the four most loyal members aboard his ship." Aphrodite said firmly as Celestia's heart wrung with pity.

"Aphrodite, is it possible for a Terran pony to be reborn as Imperial Alicorn?"Celestia asked, catching Aphrodite by surprise.

"Well, in the mythos of the first star…it says that if the soul is strong enough in any being, they can be reborn into an Imperial Alicorn. Why do you ask your imperial highness?" Aphrodite comments as Celestia wipe a tear from her cheek with her hand.

"Because that mare reminds me of a terran mare that was very loyal to Justice and would do anything it took to support him," Celestia explains as they both watch Erato and Justice touch the earwig in their ear, extending the mic from the device.

"Great grandaunt! Radar! Have pick-up a big sub-space disturbance! A wormhole is formed behind the moon of this planet!" Justice calls as Aphrodite and Celestia touch their own earwig inside their ears.

"Justice is fine…I just received a coded hail from the subspace disturbance…It is the 'IAS Stellar Eclipse, ' your supercarrier class warship. Once it exits the wormhole Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander, Clio Quasar will deliver the mission brief to you, and I should change into my uniform for the meeting." Erato explains, confused about putting on her uniform for the meeting.

Several hours later, the meet-and-greet party continues in the main ballroom of the castle of friendship in Ponyville. Justice, Erato and one other imperial Alicorn mare have snuck away from the party to talk privately to each other. The three Imperial Alicorns have decided to speak on a small balcony outside the castle of friendship.

Sitting on the top rail of the balcony with her long Alicorn legs crossed, one knee tossed casually over the other, was Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola attired in dark blue women's standard skirt uniform of imperial Alicorn aerospace fighter pilot. Her dim gray ultra sheers thigh-high encased stockings clad tapered shaped bare feet were covered in black shiny high heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels.

Sitting next to her on the same top rail of the balcony with her long Alicorn legs crossed, one knee tossed casually over the other, was an alluring looking cool gray imperial Alicorn mare with red/orange mane and tail. Her 6ft 2in toned equine figure was attired in sea green colored women’s standard skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn space force specialist. Her cool gray long imperial Alicorn legs were encased in nude-colored thigh-high stockings; the delicate lace detail on the stocking welt was hidden below the knee-length straight skirt of her uniform.

On her cool gray tapered shape, bare feet were black shiny high-heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar, the first officer aboard Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight ‘IAS Stellar Eclipse’ and second closest friend of Justice and very loyal like all the mares and stallions aboard his ship.

Before the three Imperial Alicorns begin to talk business, the reason for sneaking away from the party is to speak privately to each other.

Justice asked his most loyal and trusted mares if they would like to experience an odd custom of the planet of Equus before they started talking business; both mares were very curious about the tradition and the other reason for sneaking away from the party.

With that, Justice palms Erato's slender ankle in his hand and removes her pump before crouching down and sniffing his mare's ultra sheers stocking clad barefoot in his hand. A moment later, he does the same with Clio's silky sheers stocking covered barefoot in his hand.

"Now, what is that custom supposed to do, Justice?" Clio asked as she left her foot uncovered.

"You know, Clio, I really don't know for sure?" Justice replied honestly as the three imperial Alicorn giggled.

"But maybe it has a different effect; customarily, the mare is barefooted went you sniff her foot. Maybe the skin on the bottom of the foot smells different from the rest of the body…We must experiment more if my two best mares are up to it.” Justice comments as Clio and Erato nod their heads yes.

"Now to business, Justice? That question you asked me earlier…Why did the Empress take this long to assign an Imperial Alicorn warship to this star sector? Granted, her whole family is here on this planet…I wish I knew Justice." Clio commented as she took her other pump off, leaving her in her stocking-clad bare feet.

"Even though the Stellar Eclipse is the crown jewel of Infinity Star Sector's main royal battle fleet. Why wait for this long to send a sector protection force to protect the royal family members on this planet?” Erato present as she reached under the hem of her straight skirt locating the welt of her black ultra sheers thigh-high stocking sliding them down her silky smooth legs and off her dim gray tapered shape bare feet. Before stuffing them into the toe boxes of her pumps.

"Even though I am a member of the imperial royal family…my great-grandmother is still a huge mystery to the whole family." Justice comments as Clio follows suit by removing her nude silky sheers thigh high stocking sliding them down her silky smooth legs and off her cool gray tapered shape bare feet, before stuffing them into the toe boxes of her pumps.

"Well, anyway, I am happy that the Stellar Eclipse is now in this star sector. So my loyal and trusted mares, shall we begin the tests on the scent of mare's bare feet." Justice comments as he takes hold of Erato's slender ankles in his hand to begin sniffing his beloved mare's feet.

Meanwhile, aboard 'IAS Binary," a battleship class warship crowned imperial Princess Ophelia Silverlight, talks to her aunt Queen Aphrodite Heavens in the captain's quarters of her warship.

"What do you think mother's plan is this time, Auntie? We stop her from using the reverie to enhance her magic to change the fate of Justice and Celestia." Ophelia comments as her aunt looks at the beautiful planet of Equus below.

"That still a huge question, niece? If you allow it, niece, I would like to call up my 'IAS Northern Lights, ' my command class warship from the Seven Sister star sector…I know your mother will not approve it…because it is a different command ship from another star sector; she can't take command of it." Aphrodite asked the crowned imperial Princess of the infinity star sector

"Of course, Auntie…The Silverlight Antiquities and heritage research team could use the extra resource from your ship…It is the only ship in Imperial Alicorn space with a fully equipped research division from Pillars of Creation Institute that is not a science class spaceship." Ophelia explains as Aphrodite sent a coded message to her star sector to dispatch the 'Northern lights' from the Pleiades palace.

Watching the live feed at the Infinity palace in the infinity star sector from Acropolis class space station, a medium-sized border surveillance post on the border of the Seven Sister star sector was a gorgeous light blue imperial Alicorn mare with vivid crimson red mane and tail despite her advanced age; this imperial Alicorn mare has retained her beauty with only a hint of brilliant silver-gray in her mane and tail.

Her 6ft 12in athletic equine figure was attired in a midnight blue form-fitting space suit. Midnight blue form-fitting boots were on her light blue stunning long and slender Greek and tapered shaped bare feet with natural beauty painted with crimson red nail polish. And on her back were her jeweled gold bio-mechanical metal bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Empress Galaxy Cosmos, the supreme ruler of Imperial Alicorn space and Justice's Great grandmother.

'Masterfully played my big sister…That is why you led Imperial Alicorn space for several millenniums…if you didn't turn a blind eye to the commandant greed and killed Justice's first love Knight Candidate Clotho Aureola…you would remain as the head of Imperial Alicorn space. As the first star wished…but that one miss judgment broke your heart.' Galaxy thought watching ‘IAS Northern Lights’ make wormhole jump to the Planet of Equus.

Meanwhile, back at the castle of friendship on the balcony, Justice tests the scent of mare's feet on his most loyal mares. But he has failed to notice that each time he sniffed one of his mare's feet, it would get them more excited from their susceptible bare feet. Suddenly the sound of the rapid clicky-clack of two sets of high-heel pumps rapidly approaching the balcony quashes the excitement in the bodies of the two mares.

From the opening appears a charming looking carbon gray colored imperial Alicorn mare with avocado green mane and tail. Her 6ft 2in athletic equine figure was attired in dark blue colored women’s standard skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn Aerospace fighter pilot. Her carbon gray long imperial Alicorn legs were encased in ultra sheer black thigh-high stockings; the delicate lace detail on the stocking welt was hidden below the knee-length straight skirt of her uniform.

Her carbon gray tapered shaped bare feet were in shiny black high-heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Knight Captain Calliope Spirals, a squadron leader from the Crown of Light Aerospace battle group and another loyal mare for Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight.

She is joined by a lovely-looking Spanish gray-colored imperial Alicorn mare with a black mane and tail. Her 6ft 2in athletic equine figure was attired in dark blue colored women’s standard skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn Aerospace fighter pilot. Her Spanish gray long imperial Alicorn legs were encased in the ultra sheer black thigh-high stocking; the delicate lace detail on the stocking welt was hidden below the knee-length straight skirt of her uniform.

On her Spanish gray tapered shape, bare feet were black shiny high heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Knight Captain Urania Corona, a squadron leader from the Crown of Light Aerospace battle group and another loyal mare for Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight. Justice blinked with surprise went he noticed out of the corner of his eye that both Clio and Erato used their magic to put their stockings back on their legs and pumps back on their feet.

"Calliope and Urania, what is wrong?" Justice inquired as Clio and Erato hopped off the top rail of the balcony and stood beside Justice.

"Justice, the Stellar Eclipse picks up a subspace disturbance!" Calliope reports as three Imperial Alicorns blink with surprise as adrenaline courses through their veins. The five Imperial Alicorns open their bio-mechanical metal bird wings and take flight.

“Erato, Urania and Calliope head to the haunt…Their small phantoms flight based at Ponyville, one air and space base…you three should know how to use them." Justice ordered as the three Imperial Alicorn pilots broke off and headed to the base.

"You and I can head to the command center…we can direct the Sector Protection space force from there, Number one." Justice commands as Clio shakes her head and follows Justice to the command center.

A few moments later, the three Imperial Alicorn pilots land in front of a single tall armored tower. The building on the surface is just the control tower for the unmanned phantom drone aircraft; the phantoms have the same firepower as Aerospace fighters without risking a pilot's life.

The phantom fighter is used with the manned Aerospace fighters making a very effective defense measure. Quickly the three Imperial Alicorn pilot mares exit the elevator on the drone control floor, their heels clicky-clack loudly on the steel floor of the room. One by one, each pilot kicks their pumps off their stockings-clad bare feet and leaps into the control pod of a Phantoms fighter.

Outside from three dome structures, three fifty-three-foot-long drone aircraft roll out onto the tarmac; each aircraft beeps to each other as its fusion turbine engine begins warming up. Back on the drone control floor, each stocking-clad mare fighter pilot has settled into their drone control pod. On instinct, the three pilots systematically flip and turn switches on the control boards in front of them as a VR helmet lowers on top of their equine heads. The VR helmet transforms the control pod into the cockpit of an Aerospace fighter.

“D2…D3. This D1 activating AI controls of remaining phantoms fighters.” Erato said over the internal communication network.

“This D2…now linking internal communication network to command center at the base. Link established…Major." Urania reports as the command center receives the live feed from onboard camera systems and sensor data.

"This D3…established the link with IAS Stellar Eclipse…Now feeding the data to the command center at the base…All feeds optimal, major…We are all set." Calliope reports as the Imperial Alicorn mare pilots launch their phantom fighters into space, followed by IA-controlled fighters.

In the command tower, the soft pip-pops of stocking-clad bare feet from Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar echo in the room as she leaves her high-heel pumps next to Justice in the command pod as it was more comfortable for her to be in her stocking-clad bare feet then wearing her pumps. Plus Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight would not object to allowing his first officer to be barefooted if she likes.

The soft pip-pops of her stocking-clad bare feet are sometimes masked by the occasional beeping from all the computer systems in the room being manned by five Imperial Alicorns galactic technicians running the communication network at the base.

"Shogun! All the feeds have been established…we have control…all camera feeds are linked!" Clio calls as she looks at the holographic computerized clipboard in her hand and speaks through the earwig to the IAS Stellar Eclipse in orbit.

"Status report of the defense pattern for the Sector Protection Force, Number one!?" Justice inquiry as Clio calls up desired information on her holographic computerized clipboard and sends the feed to the command pod.

“All units in Sector Protection Force are moving into a better defense location to meet the wormhole exit point…Huh!” Clio exclaimed as she noticed that IAS Binary, a battleship class warship, had not moved from its current location.

"Shogun! The IAS Binary has not repositioned itself in a better defense location!" Clio calls as she swipes to the communication link to the bridge of IAS Binary.

A moment later, the holographic equine head of crowned imperial Princess Ophelia Silverlight springs to life in midair in the center of the command and communication center.

“Imperial Prince Silverlight! This direct order from the crowned imperial Princess Silverlight or your grandmother! Stand down our sector protection forces right this minute! The ship coming through the wormhole is the IAS Northern Lights! It will be taking over command of the Equus Sector Protection force. This will not be reported to the Empress at all! Understood, your Highness!" Ophelia said with royal authority as Justice heard the soft pip-pops of his first officer's stocking-clad bare feet walking up behind him and her delicate hand resting on his shoulder.

“Understood, your imperial highness," Justice said, defeated, as Clio leaned against the edge of the control board, crossing her elegant ankles over each other and remaining in her stocking-clad bare feet, patting her hand on top of Justice's hand, reassuring.

“Like we discussed flying over here, Justice…Their something going on behind the scenes. That we are not privileged to…as I stated, your mares and ship will remain loyal to you no matter what." Clio said reassuringly as she stood up and slipped her pumps back on her stocking-clad bare feet before making her way to the exit.

“Miss Quasar?” Justice said cryptically, resting his chin on the back of his hands in a pondering manner as Clio stopped in her tracks.

“Yes, your highness?” Clio response

"Send word to my other mares in the haunt; in an hour, report to the war room on the second floor of this tower and remain in their uniforms…we have plans to make." Justice orders

"Yes, your highness," Clio replies

"Oh, one more thing, Miss Quasar…Without. Put them on for the meeting," Justice comments as Clio slips her feet out of her shoes and floats them into her hand, Pip-popping in her stocking-clad bare feet once again as she walks out of the room.

'Very well, great grandmother…if you wish to keep me in the dark, so be it. But what are your plans for me, grandmother? And how is my great-grandaunt part of this?' Justice thought opening a communication line to his ship to call in two more loyal members of his mare team.

It's hours later as his four mares wait in the war room on the tower's second floor, waiting for Justice's arrival to begin this private meeting. During that time, Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar fills in her compatriots with why the abrupt stand-down order was issued.

“So the crowned imperial princess orders the stand down of the Sector Protection forces," Urania said irately, releasing a prolonged squeal as she slammed her fist on the edge of the round holographic tactical table that they were sitting at in the war room.

A moment later, the click-clacking of high heels on the steel floor draws the four mares’ attention to the entrance leading into the room. Through the opening steps, a glamorous looking rose pink colored imperial Alicorn mare with a black mane and tail. Her 6ft, even striking equine figure was attired in cobalt blue colored women's standard skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn Recon escort patrol specialist. Her rose pink colored, long imperial Alicorn legs were encased in white thigh high stockings; the delicate lace detail on the stocking welt was hidden below the knee-length straight skirt of her uniform.

On her Rose pink tapered shape, bare feet were white shiny high heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Vanguard Staff Sergeant Thalia Starburst, the commanding officer of a special detachment of reconnaissance specialists assigned to the IAS Stellar Eclipse and only answer to Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight.

The second to enter was an elegant-looking light gray imperial Alicorn mare with dark purple and mauve striped mane and tail. Her 6ft, even athletic equine figure was attired in cobalt blue colored women’s standard skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn intelligence specialist. Her light gray long imperial Alicorn legs were encased in white thigh high stocking; the delicate lace detail on the stocking welt was hidden below the knee-length straight skirt of her uniform.

Her light gray tapered shaped bare feet were in white shiny high heel pumps with three-inch high stiletto heels. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical metal feathered bird wings. This Imperial Alicorn mare was Galactic Vanguard second lieutenant Endora Solar Storm the head of a small detachment of intelligence gathering personnel aboard the IAS Stellar Eclipse and only answer to Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight like her recon shipmate.

"So Justice! You are bringing in the whole team, your highness." Clio comments as Justice walks in behind the other two mares who take their seat at the round holographic tactical table.

"Unfortunately, Number one…As you said, something is going on behind the scenes that we are not privileged to. So best to bring in the whole team for this." Justice answers as he makes his way to the other side of the holographic tactical table to begin the private meeting with his five loyal mares.

Two hours later, we find Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight and his wife, Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, standing on the shore of saddle lake, talking as his wife has removed her shoes from her reasonably large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant shaped bare feet because she likes the feel of the soft sand on her sensitive bare soles.

"You know I will support you in any decision, my love. Just like you did went I was the ruling Princess of Equestria." Celestia said, devoted kissing Justice on his lips before burying her shapely and delicately rounded, not-too-long toes in the sand.

"I know you will, my love…I thought went, I found my lost mate…All this would be forgotten.” Justice said, discouraged, as Celestia wrapped her arms and wings around him, planting another kiss on his lips.

“Went you proposed to me all those years ago…you warned me that things are not what they seem in a royal family…Become your wife and an Imperial Princess is not what it seems." Celestia said, knowing as Justice's cobalt blue eyes glinted with pleasure with the return of his wife’s lost memories.

"I see you got your memory back, my love."Justice was overjoyed with getting his beloved mate's memory back.

"I still have a few gaps in my memory…but overall, it has returned…one of those gaps I have…what is this overwhelming need to be buried in the sand with my head and feet sticking out?" Celestia said playfully as Justice had a smile on his face.

"Well, my dear Celestia…since you are barefooted already, shall we find out why?" Justice suggests as the two Imperial Alicorns find a place on this beach to bury his wife in the sand as playful giggling can be heard.

Meanwhile, in the transition point between the sparkling sea and the Luna Ocean in an area called the sea of clouds, a tall rocky palisade stands on a small rocky island. Went magic was lost across the globe; the shadows in this area thicken obscure Mount Aris and the winged citadel. Over time the stories of this wondrous place were lost in every pony's memories, and the race that dwells their forgotten.

Then from the Vetera Tower, a stunning built square stone tower in the remains of a city. In the alcove sits a luminous lotus fountain; inside this fountain is a pool of smooth shining water; slowly, the calm waters of this fountain begin to swirl and form a whirlpool. From this whirlpool emerges a 6ft 9in slender figure with what little light cascades into this tower; the details are hidden from sight.

The only clear part of this figure is the large, light, magenta, gray-colored feathered bird wings on its back. A moment later, their a soft squish and pip-pop sound as ten-and-one-half-inch square-shaped light magenta gray barefoot makes contact with the stone floor of the fountain. As the figure picked its foot back up to step down once again, left on the stone was a slender footprint with all its toes about the same length. The soft squish and pip-pops sound fade into the distance as the figure makes its way out of the tower into the city and light of day.

It was a warm sunny day in Maretime Bay; resting her elbows on the top rail of a small fence overlooking the beach was Miss Sunny Starscout attired in flora stripe pink mare's straight neck sleeveless tank top and light pioneer blue mare's high rise five-inch denim shorts. On her nine and two third inch long fair, vermillion colored tapered shaped bare feet were pink mare's cloud-stepper flip-flops.

Through the opening in front of her flip-flops, you could tell that her big toes are the longest on her feet, which is why all her other toes taper off. A huge surprise was that Sunny's toenails and fingernails were painted with slate gray nail polish. Sunny is not one for getting her nails painted, but her friend Pipp talks her into getting her nails done at her salon. Sunny reached up and pulled down the edge of tan boater mare's floppy hat on top of her head between her ears to try and hide.

‘I don’t know what pegasi trick Pipp did to get stallions to notice me…but I don't like it.' Sunny thought adjusting the dark tort mare's UV protection rectangular sunglasses on her snout as she whistled at by two more stallions, this time two unicorns.

Suddenly the rapid sound of flip-flops slapping against the bare soles of her feet can be heard as Sunny quickly head down a nearby wooden staircase onto the beach below.

Once she reaches the bottom of the staircase, she lifts her feet up one at a time, slipping the flip-flops off her feet. As she started to walk barefoot down the beach, trying her best to stay out of the sight of sudden large numbers of stallions that spotted her this day.

Sitting in a wooden lifeguard chair on the beach, keeping a close eye on his baby dragon Sparky Sparkeroni playing on the beach, Hitch Trailblazer attired in navy wave blue stallion's round neck sleeveless moisture wicking muscle T-shirt and Americana scenic blue stallion's board shorts with his feet bare. On top of his head, between his ears, was fossil colored stallion's safari hat and sitting on his snout were black polarized stallion's aviator sunglasses.

"Huh! Sunny?" Hitch exclaims, watching the mare stick close to the underside of the wooden walkway above.

"Sunny! What are you doing?" Hitch calls as Sunny blink excessively; she hears a stallion call her name.

“Huh? Hitch pretends you don't see me!" Sunny insists as Hitch snorts, a bit confused by Sunny telling him to ignore her.

"If you are trying to hide, sunny…You are not doing a good job of it… a matter of fact, you are bringing more attention to yourself." Hitch said, confirming as Sunny noticed every pony was looking in her general direction.

"What the hay!" Hitch exclaims, trying to figure out where Sunny went to. Quickly Hitch looks down at the sand and picks out Sunny’s footprints heading toward the back of a changing cabana on the beach. He whistles too little dragon, and Sparky flies into his arm.

"Ok…What did you do this time, Sunny?" Hitch asked as Sunny squealed at him before trying to kick him, and he quickly leaps back out of range of her kick.

"Nothing!" Sunny said bitterly, trying again to kick Hitch as he deflected her kick with his foot.

"Then why are you trying to hide?" Hitch asked as Sunny snorted at him for blocking her kick.

"I don't want every pony looking at me! Because Pipp painted my nails! She says I need a manicure and pedicure!” Sunny said hotly as Hitch laughed at her.

"I don't think Pipp painting your toenails and fingernails is what every ponies look at," Hitch said as Sunny snorted and stomped her barefoot on the ground. Before Hitch quickly steps on Sunny's bare foot to keep her from trying to kick him again.

“Then what other reason are ponies looking at me?” Sunny said sourly as Hitch kept his foot on top of Sunny’s foot to keep her from trying to kick him.

"Sunny-sunny-sunny…You have been looking from the outside in for your whole life. And never look at yourself." Hitch said profoundly as Sunny promises not to try and kick him if he released her foot.

“What does that mean, Hitch?” Sunny said testily as she crossed her arms in front of her.

"You are a good-looking earth pony mare…So went Pipp painted your nails; it just enhanced what you had already…That is what ponies are looking at… a stunning earth pony mare." Hitch's answers as it caused Sunny to blush and want to hide even more.

"Oh well, Sparky…what you are witnessing is what we call a fear response to being beautiful…Oh wow, I think it's time to change you…Hopefully, I'll figure out a dragon diet." Hitch exclaims as his baby dragon is giving off quite a smell.

As Hitch returns to the sheriff's office to change his baby dragon diaper, continuing down the beach, squelching the sand beneath her nine-and-two-third inch light vermillion colored bare feet was Sunny. She only makes it halfway down the coast when a great bird's screeching sound draws her attention out to sea.

In the distance, flying toward the beach, was a figure with large feathered bird wings. As the figure gets closer to the beach, Sunny shifts and re-shifts her barefoot in the sand as the front half of this creature looks like an eagle with pale, light grayish arms and claws. Why rear half of this creature is that of a pony.

The creature lands in the sand, leaving a ten-and-one-half-inch light magenta gray square-shaped barefoot print in the sand before letting lose a second shriek. That second loud shriek from the creature set off a general stampede of earth pony beachgoers from the beach. In the chaos of the general charge, Sunny is knocked to the ground by terrifying beachgoers; as the beach clears, she hears the squelching of sand beneath bare feet walking up to her.

She forced a smile as she faces to face with the creature with an eagle head; she quickly determined that the animal was female from its build. Without warning, the claws grab her and begin running her claws about her body. She softly giggled as the claws ran across her bare soles and the claws reached her feet.

"You are earth pony…but not the one I am looking for." The female creature comments as it flies in the general direction of Bridlewood forest.

In Bridlewood forest, the same thing happened; like Maretime Bay, the shriek of this creature set off a general stampede, this time, knock into a flower garden was Izzy Moonbow, and like sunny, the unicorn was examined by the female creature.

“You are a unicorn…but not the one I am looking for." The female creature said before flying in the general direction of Zephyr Heights

In Zephyr heights like Maretime Bay and Bridlewood forest, the shriek of this creature set off a general stampede. Still, this time Princess Pipp Petals and Princess Zipp Storm, who were visiting their mother, Queen Haven, trapped themselves in corners went they tried to run with the rest of the Pegasus civilians. Strangely the female creature kept a keen interest in pale, light grayish fuchsia-colored Pegasus Princess Pipp Petals.

After removing her pump from her foot, the female creature held Pipp's pale, light grayish fuchsia-colored peasant-shaped barefoot in her clawed hand. It made Pipp a bit uncomfortable as if the female animal couldn't see what it held in its clawed hand without getting very close to the object.

"Princess, I found you! I need help!" The female creature exclaimed as Zipp nudged her younger sister to answer the female animal. But Pipp didn't want to.

"Princess pleases! It's Adelpha Silverstream!" Adelpha said as Zipp jabbed her elbow into her younger sister's side, telling her to answer.

"How can I help you, Miss Silverstream?" Pipp spoke as Adelpha dropped Pipp's foot and went snout to bill with the Pegasus mare.

"Princess?"Adelpha is confused as she flies off, leaving the two Pegasus confused about what happened with this creature.

On their way back from Salt lick city to the castle of friendship in Ponyville, after being called to the city to appraise an object that was said to be once owned by Queen Twilight Sparkle, the last ruler of Equestria was Justice Silverlight and Twilight Sparkle after accepting the punishment that was imposed on her by the Imperial Prince. The two old friends set to work repairing the friendship that Twilight damaged with her selfish decision. It took several months for the old friends to patch things up between themselves, but in the end, their ancient friendship from ancient Equestria was repaired.

Standing on the edge of Foalorado River, attired in a navy blue short-sleeve midi fit and flare dress with black mare's Goldwin heeled sandals with two and three-fourths inch stacked heels on her magnificent pair of slender ten and one-third inch long light purple bare feet was Twilight Sparkle. She was taking in the beauty of the Foalorado River; it seemed that nature had forgiven her for damaging her with her decision.

"It looks like nature has forgiven me for damaging her went my three crystals shattered, Justice." Twilight comments, holding a flower in her hands as the winds send the seeds across Equestria.

"You know it will take some time for me to forgive you fully, Twilight." Justice comments as Twilight nods her head.

"I don't want you to forgive me instantly, your highness…I want to earn your forgiveness. But this time, I will listen to you…In ancient Equestria, my own pain kept me from listening to you. Whatever your feeling was, I didn't care…my pain is what I listen to." Twilight said as she unbuckled her sandals and sat on the river bank's edge before dunking her magnificent pair of slender ten-and-one-third-inch long light purple bare feet into the cool water.

A moment later, Twilight began to giggle softly as several small fishes started to nibble on the ends of her ten well-proportioned beautiful, elegant toes; each toenail was beautifully trimmed and shaped and painted with lovely marigold-colored nail polish. Twilight knows this is not the natural behaviour of this fish species; they are being influenced to do this behaviour on her. She knows they're a long way to go to return to the level of friendship she once had with Justice, but this is a good start.

"So, twilight, what was your take on that artifact the mayor said to belong to you?" Justice asked as the small fish swam off down the river.

“As it was true that I own a tea set like one they show us…That was not my tea set. I believe my original tea set was stolen from the palace went the magic holding together Canterlot failed. But all and all, it was a great replica…something to talk about." Twilight commented as she withdrew her feet from the water, pip-plopped in her magnificent pair of slender ten-and-one-third-inch long light purple bare feet over to crystal-powered jeep to continue on the way to Ponyville.

Back in the partially excavated ancient settlement of Ponyville, Head Archivist Cadence Sparkle Aperture, in her Alicorn form attired in a green floral mare's split tie neck short sleeve blouse and medieval blue mid-rise cargo Capri pants, walk through the clear streets double checking that she registered all the new finds in the settlement.

On her slenderly, gracefully rounded, gorgeous peasant-shaped pair of light pink bare feet with opaque glacial white toenail polish were gray mares about Mary slingback strap flat sandals with flat heels. Through the opening in front of her sandals, you could tell that her first, second and third toes were the same length, so her last two toes tapered off. The sudden loud shriek in the sky startled Cadence, causing her to trip over her feet as Adelpha Silverstream landed on the street in front of her.

"A Hippogriff!" Cadence exclaims as the female hippogriff squints her moderate blue-violet eyes toward the mare's voice.

"A pony!" Adelpha calls, seeing the light pink blurry smudge sitting on the ground a few inches before her.

She quickly pip-plop toward the light pink smudge sitting on the ground. Unlike the other ponies Adelpha had encountered, this one didn't try to pull their leg away from her. Adelpha quickly identify that it has something on the end, and it was a shoe. She pulled the shoe off and brought the naked foot close to her eyes.

Through her poor vision up-close, she identifies five slightly plump elegant and dynamic slender long toes with opaque glacial white toenail polish. Knowing that five toes are attached to a barefoot, and that foot is attached to a leg. Adelpha continues following the foot to the ankle up to the knee till she is bill and snout with the pony face.

"Greeting Hippogriff," Cadence said, friendly as Adelpha was surprised that the pony knew what she was.

"Princess?" Adelpha said hesitantly as the last pony said she was a princess, but she didn’t recognize her.

"I am…Princess Cadence Sparkle Aperture…former ruler of Crystal Empire in the north." Cadence answers as Adelpha blinks with surprise.

"Princess Cadence! Where is Princess Twilight at?" Adelpha asked as she sat on the ground.

"Princess Twilight is not here right now… a matter of fact, here she comes." Cadence comments as a Jeep with Justice and Twilight drive onto the site.

“Miss Adelpha Silverstream!! How many times have I told you to put your glasses on!? You hippogriff have superior vision high in the sky! But ok vision went you are on ground that why you need glasses!” Twilight said sharply as the memories of her days at the School of Friendship flooded back into her mind.

"Please-please-please…Head mare, don't lower my grade again." Adelpha said, worried, as she reached into her pocket and pulled out a pair of glasses to put on.

Adelpha Silverstream can now clearly see all the faces with her glasses on. Her heart is aching with nostalgia as she looks around and sees the ruins of Ponyville and the School of Friendship. A few hours later, sitting on a large rock, we once again find Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight and Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, his wife, in the ruins of Ponyville, privately discussing the arrival of Miss Adelpha Silverstream.

Celestia allowed her husband to unbuckle and remove her ankle strap foot bed sandal to let him massage her reasonably large, long, full, thick and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped barefoot with sexy deep sets and high arches. These shapely and delicately rounded, not-too-long toes are the perfect length for her unassuming Alicorn-size foot as they talk.

"Do you think, my love? There are other surviving Hippogriff/seaponys at Mount Aris?" Justice asked as he used his thumbs to rub the top of his wife's foot from her toes to her ankle.

"Oh-oh-oh…that feels so wonderful, my beloved…to answer your question, my dearest. It hard to say as hippogriff/seaponys are the most magical of Equus inhabitants.” Celestia answers as Justice begins applying light pressure in her sexy deep set and high arch right below the ball of her foot, moving his thumbs clockwise and counterclockwise in small circles.

“Even if I can’t be one hundred percent for sure, my love…We can’t ignore it.” Celestia comments as he begins running his thumbs up and down her Achilles tendon before rubbing her perfect round, supple heel with his thumbs in circular motions.

"Should we mount an expedition to Mount Aris then, my love?" Justice asked as he took hold in one hand, right under his wife’s arch and began squeezing, pulling and rotating each of her shapely and delicately rounded not too-long toes to loosen them.

"Yes, my love," Celestia answered without hesitation as she unbuckles her other sandal and asked her husband to do the same thing to her other foot.

Two hours later, in the great hall (formally the throne room) in the Castle of Friendship, the senior members of the Silverlight Antiquities and Heritage Research team sit around a huge round holographic tactical table discussing the logistics of mounting an expedition to Mount Aris.

Since starting the meeting, the stark reality has set in with a loss of magic, and it returns all the usual ways to get to Mount Aris are problematic now. Miss Adelpha Silverstream, the hippogriff/Seaponys from Mount Aris, Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar and Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola attended the meeting from ‘IAS Stellar Eclipse’ Justice's warship. All the senior members have added Imperial Alicorn mares to the senior staff of the Silverlight Antiquities and Heritage Research team.

"Let's see what Galactic Vanguard Staff Sergeant Thalia Starburst and Galactic Vanguard second lieutenant Endora Solar Storm find out from their research…If those two mares agree, a land-based expedition is the only way to reach Mount Aris. We will begin preparation immediately…That means Twilight Sparkle and Rarity Radiance will lead the expedition to Mount Aris.” Justice explains as the gold-trimmed fanlight door opens up onto the great hall.

The click-clack of heels on the ceramic tiles of the great hall echo in the room as Galactic Vanguard second lieutenant Endora Solar Storm walks in attired in the standard mare's uniform of Imperial Alicorn military personnel. Which consists of a short-sleeve white regular fit button-down shirt with a galactic blue (medium dark shade of cyan-blue) knee-length skirt; on her eleven-inch tapered shaped light gray bare feet were two-inch high black high heel pumps.

At first glance, it looks like she is wearing her pumps barefooted, but on closer inspection, she is wearing nude-colored no-show nylon liner socks. The nylon liner socks show a little bit of her toe cleavage. And folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical feathered bird wings. Plus, on her head, between her ears, behind her horn was a sky blue beret with a gold stylized star pin.

In her hand was a holographic computerized clipboard with all the research notes she had been compiling as requested by Imperial Prince Silverlight and assisted by Galactic Vanguard Staff Sergeant Thalia Starburst, the reconnaissance specialist. She saunters to the huge round holographic tactical table, making her way toward Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight; once she reaches the position, she hands him a small holographic data cube.

As Justice plugs the data cube into the holographic tactical table control board, it flashes once before the hologram of the Planet of Equus is replaced with a topographic map of Equestria marked on the map are three stars, one location is Bridlewood Forest; the second location is Zephyr Heights, and final location is Maretime bay. And situated in a small valley below Zephyr Heights marked with a red 'X' was the remains of the ancient settlement of Ponyville, the Castle of Friendship, and the School of Friendship.

A subtle smile and a blink of surprise appear on Justice's face hearing the light pip-plop of mare’s naked feet on the ceramic tiles of the great hall as Galactic Vanguard second lieutenant Endora Solar Storm removed her pumps and nylon liner socks. So the click-clack of the heel on her shoes wouldn’t interfere with the briefing.

Endora slides her fingers over her holographic computerized clipboard in her arms as a solid red line from the red 'X' weaves its way down south on the holographic tactical table in front of the group before ending at the possible location of Mount Aris in the transition point between the sparkling sea and the Luna Ocean in an area called the sea of clouds. Before Endora begins speaking, several other solid black lines appear on a holographic tactical table from various other locations in Equestria before disappearing in the areas around the possible site of Mount Aris.

“My Intel team and Galactic Vanguard Staff Sergeant Thalia Starburst recon unit have gone through several maps of Equestria trying to plot the fastest and safest routes to Mount Aris in the south but have come up with nothing. It looks like the imperial prince was right; the only way to get to Mount Aris is by a land-based expedition from the Castle of Friendship to Mount Aris." Endora explains as the light pip-plop of her naked feet stops next to Justice's seat at the table, and she places her hand on his shoulder as the strategy meeting continues in the great hall.

Several hours later, after the end of the strategy meeting with the logistics for the land-based expedition to Mount Aris in full swing, the downtime allowed Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight a well-needed rest. A moment later, Justice heard the click-clack of heels on the ceramic tiles floor; walking up behind him on the castle balcony as he turned around, approaching him was Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola, attired in the standard mare’s uniform of Imperial Alicorn military personnel.

Of all the mares that serve under him, Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola is the one he has the most interaction with, not only because she is his group leader for his fighter group, aboard his ship but his confidante as well as the younger sister of his first love Knight Candidate Clotho Aureola who was killed many space cycle ago why flying an untested Aerospace fighter.

Erato catches the faint smile on Justice's snout not only for her impeccable timing but she wearing the nude colored no show nylon liner socks that makes her look like she wearing her pumps barefooted, plus those liner socks can be removed easily, revealing the very sensitive bare soles of her feet.

"Greetings, Justice, May I ask you something?" Erato asked as she joined Justice in front of the balustrade of the castle balcony.

"Greeting Erato, sure Major what?" Justice asked, friendly as Erato and he walked over to a finely carved stone bench on the balcony; she hopped up onto the top rail of the balcony and crossed her long imperial Alicorn legs, one knee tossed casually over the other in front of her.

“After the unexpected arrival of the ‘IAS Stellar Eclipse' your ship…Your wife told me I remind her of terran unicorn mare you knew…Who was that terran unicorn mare that I reminded your wife of?" Erato asked as she noticed Justice's face etched with sorrow went she asked about her.

“Come to think about it, Erato (grins), I never thought about her till now and compare you to her…But my wife is right; you share many qualities with her." Justice comments as he slips the pump off her elevated tapered-shaped foot before removing her nylon liner sock, revealing the very sensitive bare sole of her foot.

“Her name was first Lieutenant Emerald Luster…she was my Executive Officer. I was disguised as a Unicorn stallion working for my then girlfriend Celestia Borealis and her sister Luna Borealis." Justice comments as he holds her supple, round heel in his hand.

"Emerald Luster…what a unique name…Surely you didn't just have her working for you, Justice?" Erato commented as Justice examined the barefoot on his confidante…his very loyal mare.

"Not at all, Erato…The other mare that worked for me was first Lieutenant Anita Stormchaser…She was a Pegasus and my operations officer…the combination of a unicorn and Pegasus helped me greatly…but those two mares had a small friendly rivalry." Justice explains as he continues studying his confidante barefoot in his hand.

"Tee-hee…that sound like Clio and me…having that little friendly rivalry. You know Justice if you think about it? Maybe Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar is the reborn soul of first Lieutenant Anita Stormchaser. If those mares were just as loyal as you say…Who can say they didn't become us? Which would mean we are your terran mares reborn in Imperial Alicorn Body?" Erato said profoundly as Justice began to believe it might be valid from how well Erato cared for her feet, Just like Emerald did.

This was the first time he got a good look at Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola's foot. Sense something Erato using her telekinesis, floated her other pump and nylon liner sock off her foot, leaving her barefooted. Being held in the palms of his hands were a magnificent pair of flawless and unblemished dim gray colored ten and one-third inch slender and elegant tapered shaped bare feet.

The arches on both her feet had a delicate curve that led into a smooth round ball of her feet, and why other ends of her arches led into supple, round heels. Continue up to shapely toe stems topped with ten symmetrical shaped toes; each toenail is beautifully trimmed, shaped, and painted with pale gold colored nail polish. The skin on the bottom of her feet was creamy soft with no hint of roughness or callousness due to the outstanding care of her feet she does. A slight floral scent wafts off her feet, something the Imperial Alicorns mare picks up from the terran mares.

In the windswept grassy plains of southern Equestria, war drums reverberate across the area; these war drums belong to many buffalo herds that roam the grassy plains. Went Twilight's three crystals shattered, several buffalo herds saw this as a sign to take back the grassy plains from the infestation of pony kind.

Quickly Chief little Strongheart took control of the growing ire toward Pony kind and Appleloosa; she quickly ended the returning hatred. But something that buffalos and ponies didn't know was she was dying of her weak heart. So before she moved on to Great Plains in the sky, she went to the leaders of Appleloosa and told them to abandon the town of Appleloosa.

Because went she moves on, the new chief of buffalo herds would attack the town, trying to chase pony kind out of the grassy plains forever. The leaders of Appleloosa told chief little Strongheart that they were leaving anyway as the supplies from the interior of Equestria had ceased to arrive at this frontier town. The day after the death of chief little Strongheart, the new chief of buffalo herds attacked the city, but by that time, Appleloosa was a ghost town. Without the infestation of pony kind to focus on, the old buffalo herd's rivalry sprung up again, throwing the grassy plains into the buffalo wars.

Once again, the click-clack of heels on the ceramic tiles floor of the hallways echoes in the Castle of Friendship as Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar searches for Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight on her holographic computerized clipboard is latest Intel report from the Recon Escort patrol from Southern Equestria. Not serving as Justice's first officer aboard his warship, Miss Quasar serves as the Imperial Prince's adjutant along with Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola.

As Clio continues down the hallway, she eventually hears great gusts of mare's laughter from a nearby balcony and begins to follow it. Before long, she came around a corner on the balcony with his arms wrapped securely around Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureole's slender ankles; the imperial prince; was running his fingers up and down on Erato's highly sensitive dim gray bare soles, throwing her into uncontrollable laughter.

Oddly enough, Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola was immensely enjoying the assault on her highly sensitive dim gray bare soles by the imperial prince. The other odd thing was that Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar had this overwhelming need to rip the heels and nude-colored no-show nylon liner socks off her highly sensitive cool gray bare soles and surrender her feet to the imperial prince.

'No, I can't think like that…I am an officer in the infinity star sector Royal battle fleet…But still, my bare soles are calling to the imperial prince to punish them….No!!!’ Clio thought as she turned the corner and forged ahead onto the balcony with her holographic computerized clipboard in hand.

“You’re Imperial Highness!! I have been looking for you!” Clio said boldly with authority catching the attention of both Imperial Alicorns.

At this time, Justice released his grip around the slender ankles of Galactic Knight Major Erato Aureola, his second adjutant. As Erato gulps much-needed oxygen into her oxygen-deprived lungs, Justice walks over to Galactic Knight Lieutenant Commander Clio Quasar. Once Erato regained her lost breath, the soft pip-plops of her highly sensitive dim gray bare soles could be heard walking up behind the imperial prince.

“Yes, number one….what is it?” Justice asked as Clio swiped her fingers over her holographic computerized clipboard in her hand, calling up a mini topographic map of southern Equestria.

Before long, two blurry holographic still photos float mid-air in front of the three imperial Alicorns; the picture is of a huge dark brown blotch with black horns pounding on what looks like a drum. Surrounded by several other substantial dark brown marks with black horns holding in the air what look like spears.

"The recon scout sent to find a safe route through Southern Equestria; send back these blurry still photos and this recording," Clio said as she swiped her fingers over her holographic computerized clipboard to play the recording.

"Why, that sound like a war drum!" Justice comments as Clio stops the recording of the sound bite.

"I thought that too, Justice…So I went to talk to your wife before finding you…She told me that in Equestria, there was a large number of buffalo herds…from these blurry photos and this recording…we can assume that buffalo herds survive…as for the drums, it sounds like the surviving buffalo herds might be at war with each other. Which put this expedition in the danger zone?" Clio comments as Erato gives a startled gasp at the latest Intel report.

"My thought exactly, number one…Send word to Lagoon Nebula star sector to dispatch the Event Horizon Alpha." Justice ordered as both Imperial Alicorns swallowed a lump in their throat with dispatching the Event Horizon Alpha.

From the largest spherical-shaped space station in the Lagoon Nebula star sector, a four-hundred-three-foot-long black stealth troop carrier shuttle departs from the docking bay of Lagoon Nebula depot. The Lagoon Nebula depot is the main headquarter for the Imperial Alicorn Tactical Corps; each star sectors within Imperial Alicorn space maintain Imperial Alicorn Tactical Corps to supplement their space fleets and military power.

Of all the Imperial Alicorn Tactical corps that live and work at Lagoon Nebula depot, the most feared Imperial Alicorn Tactical corps belongs to Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight. Like the mare's pilots aboard his IAS Stellar Eclipse, the Imperial Alicorns soldiers serving in the Event Horizon are the elite in Imperial Alicorn Tactical Corps.

Once again, the click-clack of heels and the slapping against the fleshy bare soles echoes onto the balcony, but this time from Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, attired in white floral print knee-length fit and flare dress with cognac brown open toe mule style heeled sandals with two-inch blocked heels. Across her perfectly shaped bosomy was the strap of a black leather satchel, and on the front flap of the bag was a gold circle with three gold stars in it, marking her as a timekeeper Administrator of the third circle of Great Library Citadel Station.

“I see you created your satchel, my dearest.” Justice comments noticing not only the satchel on Celestia's side but the shoes she had on with her toenails painted in shimmering gold nail polish.

“I did Justice, with three volumes of my Epochs in great library citadel station… Mother decided to rank me up to the third circle level." Celestia explains as she blushes to know that her husband has noticed cognac brown open-toe mule style heeled sandals with two-inch blocked heels on her feet.

“I hear a rumor that you called up your Event Horizon Alpha team," Celestia commented as she walked with feline grace toward her husband. Justice blinked with surprise went she knew of the Event Horizon Alpha team.

"I see that I might have accidentally passed the knowledge of my Event Horizon Alpha Team to you, Celestia…went. I transfer some of my royal duties over to you…to give you the ability to neutralize magic." Justice said as Celestia kissed him on his lips and sat on a stone bench, crossing her long Alicorn legs, one knee tossed casually over the other.

"Don't worry, my love…I will never reveal the knowledge of Event Horizon teams to any pony." Celestia said reassuringly as he uncrossed her long Alicorn legs and rested her leg on his lap.

"I know you will not, my dearest," Justice said, removing the sandal from her foot and bringing it up to his nose, sniffing her relatively large, long, full, thick, plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped barefoot.

“Because you know about Event Horizon teams…you may call them up if need be. Just remember to call up the Event Horizon teams is unleashing a black hole, my love.” Justice comments as he sniffs her shapely and delicately rounded, not-too-long toes that are the perfect length for her unassuming Alicorn-size feet before returning to the discussion between them.

Slowly a wormhole opens behind the moon of the planet of Equus. Emerging from the exit hole was a four-hundred-three-foot-long mobile shimmering anomalous as it came out from the moon's dark side. It drops its cloaking system revealing the black stealth troop carrier shuttle. On its rear tail assembly is a picture of a black hole, the most feared symbol in the Imperial Alicorn Tactical Corps.

As the shuttle flew through the center of the Equus sector protection force fleet, watching it on her view screen aboard her ship headed towards the planet was crowned Imperial Princess Ophelia Silverlight.

‘That is the Event Horizon transport shuttle…the most feared special operation troops in the Imperial Alicorn Tactical Corps…But who called them up? The event horizon keeps their leader identity very secret…every star sector leader figures that the commander of Event Horizon is very in tune with Imperial Alicorn space.' Ophelia thought, watching the shuttle approaching the Planet of Equus.

As the black stealth troop carrier shuttle approaches the ‘Ponyville one’ Aerospace base on the planet of Equus. Hysterical mare's laughter echoes in a private office of a nearby secure hangar on the base. Due to the Equus sector protection space force fleet being in orbit over the Planet of Equus, all the Silverlight Antiquities and Heritage research team members were required to be assigned an Imperial Alicorn military standard service uniform and dress uniform.

That includes Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight. To distinguish her as royalty, the street-length straight skirt of the standard and dress uniform worn by all the mare in the military has been replaced with a street-length military pleated skirt. But the one thing her husband is the most excited about that his wife must wear ultra sheer black thigh-high stockings with her dress uniform, and her luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet are more sensitive.

"By all the mercy of my sun! Please, my dearest, remove my ultra sheers black thigh-high nylons! Your fingers are unbearable on my creamy soft skin on the bottom of my luxurious peasant-shaped barefoot!" Celestia screamed as Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight tickled his beloved wife's sexy deep and high arch through the fabric of her stocking, enhancing the tickling of her highly sensitive arch.

“Do not dare! To try and seize my other pump-clad foot!" Celestia shrieked as she used a very light gold magical hand to slap away her husband's hand, trying to grab hold of her other perfect slender ankle to lock that foot in a magic bubble giving him access to both of her highly sensitive arches after removing her pump from that foot.

As Justice was about to seize his wife's other perfect slender ankle to lock that foot in his magical bubble, there was a knock on the office door, and a mare's voice informed them that the shuttle was on final approach to ‘Ponyville one’ Aerospace base on the planet of Equus. With that, Justice frees his wife's trapped foot from the bubble holding it in mid-air to allow him to tickle the arch of her foot.

"My dearest, may I make a tiny hole in the bottom of your nylons near your arches…for later?" Justice asked as Celestia slipped her other pump off her foot and held them in the air for him. He creates a sharp nail on the end of his fingers and inserts it through the fabric of her nylons before tearing a small hole in them, revealing the creamy soft skin through the hole.

“(kissing him on the lips) It good thing I own several pairs of nylons like these…Because I know you would tear an opening in my nylons to get at my large, long, full, thick, plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet." Celestia explains as she slips her stocking-clad feet back into her shiny black high-heel pumps with four-inch stiletto heels.

"Indeed, my love (returning the kiss on her lips)," Justice answered as he floated a dark navy blue peaked cap with gold stylized sun/moon/star pin onto his wife's head between her ears behind her long spiral horn.

A few minutes later, the automatic tow bot pulls the black stealth troop carrier shuttle into the secure hangar after the automated foam bot disperses the radiation across the shuttle's body. The robotic staircase rolls into position before the hatch as the portal whoosh opens. Standing on the top landing of the stairs is a sculpted ceramic white-bodied imperial Alicorn mare with a braided Pacific blue-colored mane and tail.

Her 6ft 1in athletic equine figure was attired in the sea-green colored dress skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn space force specialist. On her long shapely Alicorn legs were silky sheer nude-colored thigh-high nylons with delicate lace details hidden by the hem of the knee-length straight skirt she wears with mare’s dress skirt uniform. On her elegant peasant-shaped ten-inch long ceramic white bare feet were shiny black round-toed three-inch stiletto heeled pumps.

If you could see through the toe box of her pumps, you could clearly see that her first, second, and third toes are the same length, why the last two toes taper off her feet painted with vibrant neon purple nail polish. Folded on her back was her silver bio-mechanical feathered bird wings, and resting on her head behind her horn between her ears was a sea-green peaked cap with a gold stylized star pin in the center.

This imperial Alicorn mare is Galactic Technician Master Sergeant Cassandra Chasm, one of the best Imperator Alicorn Communication Engineers and friend of Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight, his former royal maid, and her sister from the infinity palace in the infinity star sector. Next to exit the portal of the black stealth troop carrier shuttle was a superb-looking white porcelain-colored bodied imperial Alicorn mare with a pale pink-colored mid-length bob with layered mane and tail.

Her 6ft 1in very physically fit equine figure was attired in the midnight blue colored dress skirt uniform of Imperial Alicorn tactical core specialist. On her long shapely Alicorn legs were silky sheer nude-colored thigh-high nylons with delicate lace details hidden by the hem of the knee-length straight skirt she wears with mare's dress skirt uniform. On her sexy, tapered, shaped ten-inch long white porcelain colored bare feet were shiny black, round-toed three-inch stiletto heeled pumps.

If you could see through the toe box of her pumps, you could clearly see that her big toe is the longest on her feet, and the rest of her toes taper off her feet painted with cool-toned chocolate brown nail polish. Folded on her back were her silver bio-mechanical feathered bird wings, and resting on her head behind her horn between her ears was a white peaked cap with a gold stylized star pin in the center. This imperial Alicorn mare is Galactic Infantry staff sergeant Penelope Resonance the combat medic for the elite event horizon imperator Alicorn tactical unit group and leader of the elite event horizon.

"Reporting for duty….Your imperial highness?" the two imperators Alicorn mares said simultaneously, saluting the two imperator Alicorns royalty in front of them, a bit confused with the imperial prince and imperial princess.

"Please forgive me, my two mares…this imperator Alicorn mare next to me is my mate Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight…she accidentally learned about Event Horizon went I transferred some of my royal duties over to her to give back some forgotten ability" Justice explains as the two imperator Alicorns look her over.

"Huh! (Noticing the satchel hanging on Celestia's side) You are an imperator Alicorn Timekeeper Administrator…Your Imperial Highness! May I dictate the history of the Event Horizon to her, your imperial highness?" Penelope asked, hopeful, looking at Celestia and then Justice.

"You might want to speak to my mate on that subject Ms Resonance? It would be her decision to take it on." Justice commented as Penelope spoke to Celestia about taking on the job. With that, Justice and Cassandra walked back into the private office to talk privately for some time.

"So, Justice, why did you have me come with the Event Horizon team from the tactical core?" Cassandra asked as Justice sat on top of the desk. She sat down on a nearby sofa and crossed her long Alicorn legs, one knee tossed casually over the other as she rested her chin in her hand.

"Clio and I agree that she would be more helpful aboard the IAS Stellar Eclipse’ keeping an eye on the Sector Protection fleet in orbit over Equus… than being planet-bound at this base…Plus, it would be helpful to have a master of Cryptography at the base working as my second officer at the command tower…but secretly a Communication Engineer, Miss Chasm." Justice said with a conspiratorial smile toward Cassandra.

"I see, Justice; I am going to assume that your great-grandmother turned her sights onto this planet of Equus; that's why you called me in, your imperial Highness," Cassandra said, knowing as she jiggled her pumps off her feet and placed them on the ground beside the sofa.

"Indeed, my loyal former royal maid…your younger sister Galactic Technician Master Sergeant Sophie Chasm, another former royal maid of mine…is keeping me secretly informed of my great grandmother's movement at infinity palace…but like the rest of my team, she has no idea why my great grandmother is doing it." Justice comment as the more substantial heavier pip-pops of his former royal maid makes her way over to the desk.

Cassandra Chasm slowly got to her feet and approached the desk. The pip-popping of her nylon-clad elegant peasant-shaped ten-inch long ceramic white bare feet was more substantial. But at the same time very delicate, the perfectly round balls of her feet made contact with the hickory-engineered hardwood floor of this room. Through the reinforced toes of her silky sheer, nude-colored nylons, you could clearly see that her slender and perfect first, second, and third toes are the same length, why the last two toes taper off her feet painted with vibrant neon purple nail polish.

"I am going to guess it is the same initiation as before, Justice," Cassandra comments, knowing as she hops up onto the desk and presents her naturally beautiful nylon-clad elegant peasant-shaped ten-inch long ceramic white bare feet to her former master to initiate her.

He reaches under the hem of her straight skirt locating the welts of her silky sheer nude-colored thigh-high nylons with delicate lace details. He slides them down her silky smooth legs and off her ceramic white elegant, peasant-shaped bare feet with natural beauty. Her arches were magnificent in form, with a very smooth radius that accentuated the overall look of her elegant peasant-shaped feet.

The ceramic white balls of her feet and heels were perfectly rounded. When she scrunches her toes down, the satiny smooth ceramic white soles easily wrinkle before smoothing out again. Her five toes were slender and perfect, with the right amount of softness painted with a vibrant neon purple nail polish that made her stand out from any other Imperator Alicorn mare. With her satiny smooth ceramic white soles now revealed, Justice ran two of his fingers down the entire length of her ceramic white soles.

This caused Cassandra to squeal and giggle as the sensations shot up her legs and exploded in her mind. After a few more playful assaults upon her highly sensitive satiny smooth ceramic white soles by her former master Cassandra floated her high heel to herself and stuffed the nylons into the toebox of her heels. Leaving her naturally beautiful, elegant peasant-shaped, ten-inch long ceramic white bare feet exposed as Justice brought her up to speed with his plan for her.

It is the evening of that same day as Imperial Prince Justice Silverlight and his wife, Imperial Princess Celestia Silverlight, still wearing their dress uniforms walk hand in hand through the moonlit, partially excavated ancient Ponyville settlement looking for a well-preserved private home in the residential district that their adopted niece Head Archivist Cadence Sparkle Aperture told them about.

"By my light!! It is our home went you were helping Twilight here in Ponyville." Celestia exclaimed happily as a tear ran down her cheek, finding their old private home in Ponyville.

“We should have known it would be our home that was well preserved here in Ponyville…We did use Imperial Alicorn magic to help build it. (Kissing Celestia on her lips)." Justice explained as the two Imperial Alicorn pushed open the front door and walked down a short hall into the home's living room.

"Look here, Celestia…the scorch mark is still on the wall behind the stove." Justice comments as Celestia traces the scorch mark with her finger.

"It was very hard switching from a ruling Princess…to a house mare went we started the experiment went our relationship got serious," Celestia said as she returned her husband’s kiss on her lips.

"It was that day, went we decided you would remain the ruling Princess of Equestria and fly home to be my fiancée…went you finished your work day in Canterlot," Justice explained as the two imperator Alicorns left the kitchen and went back into the living room.

The two Imperator Alicorns walked out the northern arched pass-through of the living room into a hallway leading to the master bedroom and guest bedroom area of their old private home. Once through the pass-through, the imperator Alicorns turns east and walks down a short hallway toward a second arched pass-through covered with light curtains.

Their eyes widening, they snapped their fingers, revealing a twelve by fifteen square foot room still painted in a tranquil deep blue color with white trim. In the middle of the room is a seating area with two very comfortable-looking sofas sitting on top of a large area rug? In the middle of the carpet is the small coffee table.
On the eastern wall is a fireplace with two wingback chairs in front of it. On the left side of the fireplace were two empty shelves in the wall. Against the northern wall were three chaise lounges lined up side by side; in front of each chaise lounge was a rolling stool. In front of the western wall were three low cabinets. A few feet from the pass-through was a small square table.

"By my light! The old foot lounge is still intact! I still have great memories of the fun we had with my bare feet right in this room…Being the ruling princess was very stressful during those days…All my stress would disappear after a long, hard day in Canterlot with my now husband and my susceptible feet.” Celestia said fondly as tears once again streaked her cheeks from looking at the foot lounge.

"Shall we relive one of those memories…my dear Celestia?" Justice proposed gesturing toward one of the chaise lounges against the northern wall of the foot lounge.

The heels of Celestia’s high-heel pumps click-clacked over the hickory wire-brushed engineered hardwood of the foot lounge floor as she made her way over to the chaise lounges against the northern wall of the foot lounge. Once there, she sat down on the chaise lounge, stretching out her white with a hint of pink perfect long Alicorn legs.

Once his wife was comfortable on the chaise lounge, Justice sat down on a rolling stool rolled in front of his beloved wife's ten and two-thirds-inch long heel clad reasonably large, long, full, thick, and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet.

Justice ran his index fingers from where his wife’s toes started to her ankles over the sheer fabric of her nylons, causing his wife to stiffen a giggle from her husband's light touch. With that, Justice first kissed his wife on her lips before reaching under her skirt and grabbing hold of the welt of her nylons before rolling them down her smooth long Alicorn legs to her perfect ankles.

Slowly Justice removed his wife's size eleven black shiny, high-heel pumps from her nylon-clad feet before placing them on the ground in front of the chaise lounge. He sniffed the inside of her shoes, getting a good whiff of his wife's nylon-clad feet, which caused Celestia to playfully giggle. He placed his finger against his wife's sheer sole and ran it down the entire length of reasonably large, long, full, thick, and plush white with a hint of pink luxurious peasant-shaped bare feet with sexy deep sets and high arches, shapely and delicately rounded not too long toes that are the perfect length for her unassuming Alicorn size feet. The sudden stroke cause Celestia to jump out of the chair unleashes a slight squeal, and squirms a bit.

"Justice!" Celestia said, a bit sour, as he rolled around to the side of the chaise lounge and kissed his wife on her cheek, causing his wife to blush. He moved back in front of the chaise lounge and grabbed hold of scrunched-up fabric from around her ankles, removing it the rest of the way. He stuffed the nylons into the toe boxes of her shiny black high-heel pumps he had removed from his wife earlier.

Sitting in front of him on the end of the chaise lounge was his wife's reasonably large, long, full, thick, and plush white with a hint of luxurious pink peasant-shaped bare feet with sexy deep sets and high arches, shapely and delicately rounded not too long toes that are the perfect length for her unassuming Alicorn size feet, each toenail is beautifully trimmed and shaped painted with glossy red nail polish.

The balls of her feet were perfectly round and soft. The perfect round, supple heels were just as smooth. The skin on the bottom of her feet was creamy soft as her feet really don't get rough or callous by walking barefooted. She gently scrunches her toes down, causing her creamy soft soles to wrinkle, revealing all her perfect creases across her big white with a hint of pink creamy soft soles of her feet.

As the picture begins to fade in this scene, Celestia playfully splays the toes of both her feet for her husband's enjoyment, as this trip down memory lane reinforces why it was so important to have her memory back. Celestia lifts her naked feet allowing Justice to take hold of her perfect round, supple heels, bringing them up to his snout, getting the full scent of his beloved Celestia's spacious white with a hint of pink creamy soft soles of her feet.

As the circle gets smaller and smaller, Celestia watches as her husband floats a length of rope from an open drawer in one of the low cabinets on the other side of the room. He stood up and walked to the side of the chaise lounge. He took hold of his wife's arms and began to loop the rope around her perfect slender wrists once, then twice, and pulled it snugly.

He carefully pulled his wife's arms over her head and tied the rope's end onto the tiny metal eyelet on the backside of the chaise lounge. He returns to her white with a hint of luxurious pink peasant-shaped bare feet and floats two more lengthens of rope from the same open drawer; he loops the ropes over her perfect ankles and ties them to the legs of the chaise lounge.

Celestia plays up her helpless situation by crying on cue and frantically tugging desperately at the bonds on her ankles and wrists, trying not to use her unnatural earth pony strength that would break the ropes. Before the film ends, Celestia explodes with maniacal laughter as he tickles her. Poor Celestia was in hysterics in no time as the sensations shot up her legs and exploded in her mind.
