She opened the front door and took a set out, nearly colliding with someone at the door, narrowly hopping back in surprise.  Standing in front of the door with her usual neutral expression was Pinkie Pie’s sister.  “Oh...Maud.  What a coincidence.  Are you coming to help Twilight out with her work?”   “Something like that.”  Maud flatly replied.  She'd been visiting Ponyville for the past week and part of her time had been with Twilight in the library.  Starlight had been busy on her own projects and didn't know what Maud was doing to help, much less how Maud could help unless Twilight was researching spells about rocks. Twilight had declared Maud’s help essential though, and that was good enough for Star. “Well, I hope you have a good time with it.  I’m grabbing some food in the market. You could stay tonight for dinner perhaps.” "I won't be staying long. I have some other things that need to be done first." "Oh, of course." Star nodded at the vague reply. "Well, if I don't see you when I'm back, please have a great time with Twilight." She half stepped out and around Maud and left the door open for her. Maud only responded with a slight nod and walked in.  She worked her way towards the library, looking over the striation of the gypsum crystal that most of the walls were composed of.  It was a very common rock, though not in this particular region.  Why the Tree of Harmony’s magic had chosen angelite as a base construction material had largely proven impossible to determine.  Magic was never good at having explanations, just like people.  Rocks, on the other hand, obeyed very strict rules.  Their presence, shape, and structure were all easily understood for those with the ability to look and the skill to work with them. Down the long corridor, Maud turned and saw Twilight at her main research desk in the library, hard at work with two separate books nestled in her arms and a quill magically dancing along parchment.  She looked up with a smile.  “Welcome Maud, I’m just doing a little cross referencing on these spell-books.”  Twilight carefully set the two books down, standing up from her chair and walked over to Maud.  “I wasn’t expecting you today, though you have been really helpful with my research.” Maud nodded.  “I know. I forgot to have you expect me today because it's just time for activation.”  Maud held out her index finger. Twilight looked quizzically, “Activation?  What do you mean?” Maud ignored the question. “My finger is a rock hammer.” Something about that phrase made Twilight shiver.  There was something…off.  There was something she was forgetting that was very important.  Maud reached out and gently tapped Twilight’s forehead with her finger. Twilight’s head rocked back like the gentle tap had been a bullet.  She stared blankly at the ceiling for several seconds before bobbing back to stare at Maud while her body tensed into stiff attention with her hands ramrod straight at her sides.  “My mind is a geode.  It has been cracked open.”  Truth was now open to Twilight.  The lie of Maud helping with research was wiped away, replaced with the memories of constant hypnotic sessions, of her mind calcifying and being formed into the shape and structure of Maud’s choosing. Maud blinked impassively.  “Today is activation day. Prepare.” The words rocked through Twilight’s mind and made her nipples stiffen in excitement.  She quickly unzipped her skirt and let it tumble to the floor, followed by her t-shirt and underwear.  She stood back at attention, completely naked.  Maud observed carefully and grabbed both of Twilight’s nipples, giving them a firm tug. Twilight offered no reaction.  A rock remained still unless moved by some force greater than itself.  Maud gave a tiny grin.  “Good, rock.  You are prepared.  You will proceed to your room for polishing until fully activated.” “The rock understands.”  Twilight declared. She turned and marched out of the library, not even noticing Spike and his shocked face as he stood at the library door. "What in Equestria is going on?" Spike looked quickly back and forth at Maud inside the library and Twilight, who was calmly proceeding down the hall way bare naked. "Twilight was just activated." Maud said with her even tone. Spike looked even more confused. "What does that mean? Maud, are you scared or concerned about this? I honestly can't tell with your voice." "This is all according to plan. You need to be activated too before I go." "Maud...did you do something to Twilight?" Spike tensed, wondering if he needed to run. "Rock. Hard." Maud replied. The words made Spike shudder. A wave of arousal hit him from nowhere, while a bolt of electric pleasure ran between his legs. "What are you..." "Rock. Hard. Rock. Hard." Maud repeated, enunciating each word separately, making them oddly blend together, neither of them the first or last word. Spike felt the sensation build with each word. His breath fell into a ragged shudder. His whole body was growing stiff and sluggish, and his cock pressed against his pants. Maud approached him as she repeated the trigger, fogging up Spike's mind more and more. By the time Maud was directly in front of him, he was unable to do anything but gasp for air and wiggle his hips in a vain attempt to shift his cock to prevent it from tenting his jeans so uncomfortably. Maud extended her finger and made sure Spike could see it before giving his forehead a gently tap. Spike bucked his hips forward so hard that it lifted him on his toes as a thick stream of cum spurted partway out of his pants. "NNnggngggngggn." A wet spot spread out on his pants as he slowly recovered and stood in the same rigid position Twilight had been in earlier. "I am a quartz, cut into shape." He whispered slowly. "Good rock. Today is activation day. Prepare." Spike silently undressed and returned to attention in more ways than one. "Go to Twilight's room for polishing until until fully activated." Maud waited a couple seconds to observe Spoike as he marched off, then she walked out of the castle, making her way off to the edge of Ponyville for her next target. Starlight returned around an hour later with a paper bag full of vegetables and eggs in her arms. "I'm baaaack!" She called out before heading towards the kitchen. The library was on the way so she decided to check in on things and poked her head through the door. "Hey is Maud still helping with..." The library was eerily empty. Twilight's desk was covered in books and notes. Twi would normally tidy up she was finished with work, though she would take breaks at times when they pulled her away. Then Star noticed the two piles of clothes on the ground. They looked a lot like what Spike and Twilight had been wearing that morning. Star set her grocery bag down and picked up Spike's clothes as they were closer. A magical accident was the most likely explanation. Was it possible they'd been teleported away without their clothes, or been turned immaterial and invisible? There was no trace of magic lingering on the shirt or jeans, though. Star's fingers touched a damp spot on the jeans and she turned them over, looking at a large wet splotch in the fabric. Curiously, she leaned in closer and caught a heady whiff of dragon cum. Star threw the jeans away suddenly and staggered back, knocking into the grocery bag and leaving six broken eggs on the floor. Something was very wrong. Star dashed out of the library and ran down the hallway, casting out a location spell. The running made her whimper as her stiff nipples bounced and rubbed inside her blouse. The face full of Spike's dragon musk as turning her on. Why could just his scent do that? Why did it make her feel so excited...and why did it feel somewhat familiar? Star shook her head to focus. Her spell had pinged two people further down the hall. A moment later she was standing in front of Twilight's bedroom. She hoped Spike and Twilight were there but only going inside would tell her for sure. She carefully gripped the door handle and turned. The scene made Starlight crumple to the ground in panic. Twilight's room was strewn with sex toys and bottles of lube. There were loose strings of anal beads, dildos suctioned to the ground and wall, and bowls of smaller items on the bed nightstand. Spike was on all fours, bucking slowly on one of the wall-secured toys, letting out weak moans with each push. Twilight was sitting on the edge of her bed with nipple clamps attached and linked on a chain while she carefully swirled two fingers around her clit. Both of them were totally focused on their carnal actions and didn't even look over at Star. Star struggled to find the strength to stand, but felt like she needed to make it to Twilight. She decided to crawl instead, at least until her nerve had recovered enough. She needed to call out to Twilight, use a spell to bring her to her senses, perhaps Expergiscori? But that wasn't what Maud desired. That thought seemed to break a dam in Star/s mind. Memories flooded back. The very first day Maud had arrived, she'd shown Star a pretty rock on a string, had flashed it in front of Star's eyes and recited words that Star couldn't entirely remember except that they were Very Important. She had learned she and the rock on string were so similar. She had spent nights training with Spike and Twilight, helping Maud learn and practice different approaches to control them, finding the perfect ways to make compliant rocks out of their minds. Starlight hadn't remembered any of that until now. She had been commanded to forget what Maud was doing and take Maud's presence for granite. And she had obeyed those commands perfectly. Star's crawling left her kneeling in front of Twilight. Somewhere along the journey, her own clothes had been stripped away. She was ready now to join in further polishing herself and the other rocks. Star leaned in between Twilight's legs and began to lap eagerly as her own fingers quelled the heat down between her own. At some point, Spike wandered over to them, squirting lube onto his rigid cock. Twilight noticed and reached out to start stroking him while he reached down and Pulled at the clamps on her nipples. The polishing was made to help deepen them more and more and prepare their bodies for the moment of full activation. They would continue like this, edging without cumming until Maud returned and gave a new command. It could be an hour or a day. To a rock, time was meaningless.
