We Met By Moonlight

Fuedal Knight silently moved through the bushes, watching the elk graze calmly in the forest. It had been thirteen days since he had had some live blood, and while It wasn’t necessary for his survival that he feed while the beast was alive, you never really got the same hair razing chill as you did when draining the life from a live victim rather then lapping up the blood off of a rare steak.

He braced himself, ready to pounce, but just as he began to move another pony leaped out, tackling the elk and biting down on its throat as it pined it to the floor and snapped its neck with a violent movement. He watched, licking his lips as the pony ripped open the elk’s throat and began to drink. He examined what he now realized to be a mare, and was struck by some rather jarring things that awoke the intellectual in him.

Her coat was a very dark shade of blue, and her mane and tail were a deep purple that seemed to deny the light a chance to make it shine. She had a horn on her head, which would have classified her as Unicorn, if not for some other things that had caught his eye. Her hooves, which had now returned to normal, had split to reveal cat like paws, allowing her to latch onto the elk as she had killed it, and folded neatly at her sides where a large pair of feathered wings, she was an alicorn.

Fuedal rolled over on his back, the implications of his discovery we staggering, another alicorn out in the wilds, especially one of his race, was something that couldn’t be ignored. He rolled back onto his hooves and walked out, clearing his throat just as the mare tore a peace of meat from the dead elk.

*************************************************************************************

The blue alicorn raised her head at the sound, her red cat like eyes catching Fuedal off guard. They didn’t just reflect the light; they glowed, casting a dim light around her as she held the peace of meat in her teeth. He decided he might as well start the conversation, clearing his throat before speaking.

“Hello miss, my name is Fuedal.” he said bowing low as a sign of respect, like his father had taught him.

The blue alicorn laughed at this, causing him to look up in surprise. Her voice sounded odd, it had an ethereal eco to it, as if she was using a toned down version of the royal Canterlot voice.

“There is no reason to bow to me kind sir, I am not of royal birth, and there for do not deserve such treatment.”

His eyebrow rose at that, looking skeptical of this response. No where in any of the history books had there ever been mention of a non royal alicorn, there was just no such thing, all alicorns born were of royal birth.

“Very well, if you don’t mind my asking miss, what is your name?”

“My name is Death Petal” she said, chuckling and walking toward him. She sniffed the air around him and smiled “would you care to share my meal, you seem rather hungry” she said, jerking her head towards the dead elk.

“Very much so” he said, walking over with her and biting down into the beast. He tore away a peace of meat, savoring the bloody taste as he sat down to gorge himself. Death Petal watched as he ate, occasionally bending down and taking a peace for herself. He occasionally stole a glance at the mare, still mystified by her.

Now that he was closer, he saw that she wasn’t the proper size to be a royal alicorn, like the princesses that ruled Equestira. Plus, now that he got a good look at her wings, he noticed they were actually a blend between normal pegasus wings and bat pony wings, large feathers overlaid across leather. There was also her name, in all his life he had never heard of a pony with such a…dark sounding name before, even though he could have sworn he had heard some where before.

“Um…if you wouldn’t mind me asking Miss Death…”

“Please, call me Petal…I…prefer that name.”

This peaked Fuedal’s interest but he didn’t press further, he to preferred his last name over his first, though probably for different reasons then the mare. He tore off another piece of the elk, chewing quickly and then swallowing before asking his next question.

“I don’t mean to pry, but from everything I have read and heard about with alicorns, there is no such thing as a non-royal alicorn.” he said, trying to pick his words as carefully as possible.

Death Petal chuckled “what you say is true, except I am not true alicorn, I was originally born a Unicorn.”

Fuedal, who had finally found an untapped vein of blood, spat it out at this news, looking at the mare in shock.

“No…not a…true alicorn, how is that even possible, only Princess Twilight…”

“That I would rather not discuses kind sir, tis a secret, and I wish to keep it that way for my own reasons.”

Again he had to repress the urge to dig further into the issue, his was the mind of a researcher, and now he was being denied what could possibly be the greatest discovery since the elements of harmony. He didn’t want to intrude though, one of the many lessons his teacher taught him was patience, something he always prided himself for. Death Petal watched him bite into another peace of meat, noticing something she hadn’t seen before, a crystal set into the center of his forehead.

“If you are done asking questions, would it be troublesome if I were to ask some questions of my own” she said, her eyes still locked on the gem.

“Go ahead and ask” said Fuedal after swallowing a mouth full of blood.

“That crystal on your forehead, what is it for?”

Fuedal smiled and then concentrated, causing the crystal to glow. A blue field of energy slowly cut its way through the elk, lifting a sliced peace of meat from the elk and moving it to his mouth, which he ate it with a grin on his face.

“So it’s like a unicorns horn then?” she asked, still fixated on the gemstone.

“Yes, my father gave it to me after I was born, apparently it’s been in my family for generations, given to my ancestor by Princess Luna herself.” he said with pride. His family had been the last takers of the fabled alicorn stones, given to the bat pony’s by Princess Luna to give them magical ability like that of the unicorns.

The blue alicorn reached out with a tentative hoof then, gently brushing the crystal with her hoof, and causing a wave of pleasure to spasm down his spine. Like unicorn horns, the crystal acted as an erogenous zone to stimulate arousal, and it took all his self discipline and training to keep his loins in check. She quickly pulled her hoof away as he shook, understanding rushing through her as she blushed.

“Sorry, I have a weakness for gems, and I couldn’t help myself.” she said, her blush growing as she turned away.

Fuedal just nodded, biting down into the elk again as he thought. He was still pondering some of the things she had said, especially the one about her not being a true alicorn, which raised the question of how she had become such. But he decided he would ask such questions latter.

Meanwhile Death Petal was wondering about things herself, the gem to be specific. She was familiar with all sorts of gems, for they were some of the most underused yet powerful of alchemic reagents in potion making, especially the potions she liked to use. But this gem she had only seen and used once, for it was one of the key ingredients in the potion that had turned her into the being she was now.

She also had other reasons for staring at the stallion, for he was very attractive. Golden mane and tail shined brightly in the moon light, his tail waving happily as he dug into the meat. His coat was a beautiful grey, flowing beautifully from dark around the hooves to light as it reached his face. But what fascinated her the most about him was his eyes. Like hers they were like cats, black slits running through deep and rich color, but while hers were red as blood, his were deep blue, the same shade of blue as her coat. She didn’t know it, but Fuedal was watching as she gave him the once over, and it made him smile.

“Do you like what you see?” he asked, a cocky smile on his face as he preformed a second once over of his own.

Death Petal stuttered, not used to being caught in her examinations. “I apologies, I did not think you had seen. As to your question…I liked what I saw very much,” she said, blushing as she did so.

He chuckled, getting up and walking around the dead elk, sitting down to give her a better view of him. She blushed even more, running one of her wings over his, which made him shiver. He knew if he wanted, he could probably have this mare in bed because of the way she had been looking at him, but he just pushed that thought aside, this was the first mare who had ever given him such a thorough once over, so he wanted to treat her right, it would be the proper thing to do. He inwardly laughed at this inward comment, remembering the lessons on courtship his teacher had insisted on teaching him. Then the mare got up, and he got up as well.

“I should be going, I forgot my cloak at home, and I do not like to stay out too late incase some one might…might see the real me.”

He nodded “shall I walk you home?” he asked, draping a large wing over her to cover hers, causing her to blush.

“S…sure” she said, her hair falling to cover her face as her blush grew. He smiled, walking with her as they walked away form the kill that had been picked clean. They walked a while till they finally reached the edge of the forest, and he saw a cottage built strait into a large tree, looking eerie in the moonlight. She bid him good night and walked into the door, turning back to look at him, smiling softly at him.

“It would be wonderful if you could…come and see me again, I would feel most overjoyed.” she said, blushing as she said it.

“It would not be a problem, I would also enjoy your company, it has been long since I have enjoyed company such as yours.” He said, bowing low as he did so. Death petal smiled and bowed to Fuedal, and then she closed the door. Fuedal took that as his queue to leave, and with a mighty beat of his wings he shot into the sky, heading back toward Ponyville.

Author's Note

Note: Fuedal Knight is a different pony then my other oc Fuedra who matches his description, their cutie marks are totally different. Also Death Petal is not the same character as in Teacher No More, she is a alternate version of her.

He's The Librarian

Death Petal skipped along happily as she made her way through the Everfree Forest, making her weekly trip to her friend Zecora’s. She was still going over her recent encounter with Fuedal, and she found herself more and more fantasizing about spending time with the likable stallion. True, their was the fact that he could have just been being likable just to know how she had turned into what she was, but just this once she was willing to take a risk, especially if it would mean getting to hang out with another who enjoyed such…particular nighttime activities.

She was halfway down the trail when she heard a familiar singsong voice on the air, and as if on que, jumped in and began singing in tune as a familiar melon yellow pegasus came into view.

“What is this place
Filled with so many wonders?
Casting its spell
That I am now under

Squirrels in the trees
And the cute little bunnies
Birds flying free
And bees with their honey

Hooooonneeeeeeey!

Oooh, what a magical place
And I owe it all to the Pegasus race
If I knew the ground had so much up its sleeve
I'd have come here sooner, and never leave

Yes, I love everythiiiiing!”

They finished singing and then burst into a fit of giggles as Death Petal came up beside her other friend Fluttershy, smiling through her giggles. “Nice to see you here Fluttershy; what brings you out to the Everfree this time of day?”

“Oh just heading over to Zecora’s for some potions, my animals have been getting sick lately and she always makes the best remedies.”

“What a coincidence, I was heading to her place myself, I have to go drop these potions off for Zecora, she can never seem to get enough of the potions I make with gems.”

“Oh that reminds me, Rarity told me to tell you that your next order of gemstones was ready to be picked up.”

“Excellent,” said Death Petal, hopping a little at the thought of all those gems ready to be collected. It could be reasonably said that Death Petal’s greed for gems rivaled even Rarity’s, causing her to horde any and all precious stones whenever she came across them.

This greed was tempered by her love for potion making, which required her to sacrifice many of said stones in order to get the desired potions she made for Ponyville. Potions for sickness, potions for healing bumps and bruises, and even a potion for repressing estrus, though that one was more for personal use, seeing as how the ponies of Ponyville for some reason refused it when offered.

“You seem to have an extra spring in your step Petal, anything good happen last night?”

Petal flashed a grin, “I was hoping you were going to ask me that, I actually met a stallion last night, and he seemed interested in me!”

Fluttershy squealed, her rarely exposed gossip side which Rarity had been slowly bringing out for air kicking in as she got closer to her friend. “Well tell me more, is he somepony I know?”

“I don’t think you do, he’s a bat pony named Fuedal…”

“Oh I know him, he’s student to Princess Luna, and he’s been staying in the library ever since Twilight moved to Canterlot.”

“At the library?” asked Petal, her excitement growing at finding out where the stallion lived.

“Yes, he took over after Twilight left, plus I think he mention something about needing to get some life experience before Luna would let him continue studying magic of the night, though when I asked him what kind of life experience he would just blush and say I wouldn’t want to know.”

Death Petal giggled at the thought of Fuedal blush, and then got a wonderful idea. “Hey Fluttershy, do you mind taking these potions to Zecora for me, I want to go and talk to Fuedal for a bit.”

“Oh no problem, just remember you have to come by and visit Shadowmere today, she has been missing you terribly since you dropped her off at my place.”

“I will don’t worry,” said Petal, and then she turned and ran off in the direction of Ponyville.

* * *

Fuedal carefully placed the last book on the shelf, having managed to get the cutie mark crusaders out of the library. They had for some reason taken to hanging out their ever since he had moved in, and he had a sneaking suspicion that they were crushing on him hard.

“That is all I need, three young fillies going stir crazy over a stallion like me…especially considering the culture.”

He had to admit, if they had been bat ponies he wouldn’t have been so miffed about them crushing on him, as they were normal ponies however, he knew to stay clear for their safety. It wasn’t that they weren’t attractive, and by extension it wasn’t that any of the other mares in Ponyville weren’t attractive, it was just due to his culture he could not be with them, especially when it came to bat pony mating practices.

It wasn’t known outside of bat pony society, but a bat ponies fangs were not just used as a means to open up a victims veins to get blood, it was also used as a way for mates to mark each other. It went back to the days when their ruler Luna had been banished to the moon, the bat ponies had left to the darker reaches of Equestria due to not being liked by the other tribes due to their absolute loyalty to the moon goddess even when she had gone mad. Life in the dark lands had been rough on them, and mating had turned from a choice into a need, such an important need that it had even changed there how bat ponies responded to each other genetically.

Fuedal was taken out of his musings by a knock at the door; which he went over to and opened, smiling when he saw Death Petal standing outside. “Petal, come in come in, I didn’t know you were coming into town.”

“I wasn’t really planning on it,” said Petal with a grin, “but then a little bird told me that you took over Ponyville library so I had to come over.”

She gently brushed herself against Fuedal, making him blush as she brushed her tail under his nose, letting him get a whiff of her scent. “Oh boy,” he thought, “just what I need. Here I was thinking about why I couldn’t mate with any of the Ponyville folk and now she comes walking into my home and shows she is interested, god I hope I can keep it…”

“You know you’re the first stallion who has ever taken interest in me,” said Petal, catching him completely off guard. “I must admit I have never really given much thought to “coupling”, but after you showed such interest I realized I have been putting it off for far to long, and I know we may not know each other that well, but I have a feeling your just the stallion I would want to get to know in every single way.”

She had been slowly backing him into a corner the entire time, and on top of that Fuedal’s brain had frozen due to everything she had just said. He quickly shook off the feeling however, he still had an image to uphold. “As much as your offer entices me lady Petal, I would much prefer getting to know you as a pony before um…other activities take up our time,” he said with a modest blush.

“So wining, dining, and conversation first, nighttime activities latter?”

“Uh…uh yeah, pretty much.”

She giggled, turning around to look at the books on the shelves. “I guess we shouldn’t really rush into things,” she said, though he could tell by the sound of her voice she had really wanted to rush.

“Hey,” he said, waling over and draping a wing over her for comfort. “I admit there is chemistry here, and I do really like you, but I think it would be better if we took are time with this.”

She nodded, smiling as she leaned against him. “I understand, I guess it’s just been a really long time since I felt this way about somepony before. But that is a story for another time, do you think it would be ok for me to take my cloak off, it’s getting rather hot but I don’t want to risk getting seen.”

“No its ok, the library is closed to public access till I’ve settled in, so you’re safe to take off your cloak.”

She smiled and did, draping it over the couch and then sitting down, reaching out and going for a book on the shelf. “I see your already changing up the organization around here; I remember when the fantasy section was in the basement.”

Fuedal laughed, “Yeah, I always thought she was a bit too focused about making sure everypony got a healthy dose of educational literature, I’m more lax in that department, I mean you got to get the kids inside reading somehow.”

She laughed, smiling as she put the book back. She browsed around some more, till she found a set of books that caught her interest. “Hey Fuedal, what are these?”

He walked over, and upon spotting what she was looking at he smiled. “These books are to help the ponies of Ponyville get better acquainted with bat ponies, as were starting to reintegrate ourselves back into pony society once again. These works were written by my grandfather after Luna returned, it was his hope that with these ponies would be able to better understand us and thus allow are return to be as smooth a transition as possible.”

“Really…um…do you mind if I check out some of these?”

“I’ll do you one better, wait here a moment.”

She watched him go upstairs, waiting patiently until he returned with a set of books, handing them to her gently but keeping hold to allow their magic to mingle a little, which Petal had to admit felt nice. “These…these books were the first my grandfather wrote, he passed them onto me before he died, and I have kept them close ever since.”

“Fuedal I can’t accept…”

“Sure you can, and anyway there is a lot they left out in the copies that you can only find in these books, plus I trust you’ll bring them back.”

“I…I don’t know what to say.”

Fuedal smiled, “just promise your read through every book, I’m sure it will answer many questions about yourself as it will about the rest of our people.”

“And what makes you think I have questions about myself that would need answering?”

“How long did it take you to figure out you needed animal protein to survive after your transformation?”

She blushed, “um…about a week.”

He smiled, patting her on the back before letting go of the books. “It’s understandable, you didn’t know how your body had changed, and hopefully these books will help you with any other questions you might have. And just remember, if you run into something in the books you don’t understand, just swing by, I’ll help you anyway I can.”

“Ok…thank you,” she said, giving him a quick peck on the cheek, before turning to go. However Fuedal pulled her back, leaning close and kissing her on the lips, causing her to melt into his forelegs as they stayed their for a few moments, all other worldly desires vanishing from their thoughts entirely.

HEAT! Part One

Petal ran around her hut in a panic, grabbing several ingredients and throwing them into the cauldron as she tried to ignore the burning between her legs. It had been several weeks since Fuedal had given her the books, and since then they had been having a great time, going on several dates, getting to know each other, and even going a bit further in their displays of affection. But now she was panicking, for she had become so distracted due to him being around that she had forgotten her heat cycle was approaching, and had forgotten to brew her potion in preparation.

She found the final ingredient, grinding up the fire ruby and quickly pouring the powder into the potion and then stirring. After the required amount of stirs the potion took on the color of fiery red, and she quickly scooped out some and took a drink, waiting patiently. But the blessed relief did not come, and she started to panic again.

Before she could think of where she had gone wrong in the potion however the door opened, and she turned to see Fuedal standing their, his eyes wide as he gazed at her rump, and she quickly covered herself with her tail. “Fuedal…wha…what are you doing here…?”

“I…I was coming over to get you…” he said, trying to keep his mind focused as his senses became assaulted with her smell. He dug his claws into the floor, fighting every instinctual urge that was assaulting his mind as he started to sweat. It wasn’t well known by everypony, but when a bat pony male smelled a female in heat, they went into heat as well. It was also why Fuedal had to be careful around Ponyville, for if he slipped up, he could end up hurting some mare, and he really didn’t want that. Now however the mare that he had fallen for was in heat, and he was having to fight every urge in his body wanting to grab her and rut her senseless.

She saw him struggling, and immediately thought back to what she had read in the book about bat pony anatomy, and realized that he was fighting against the urges that had been induced due to her heat. Normally she would be frightened about such, but because it was him she became excited, her mouth watering as she turned fully around and began crawling slowly toward him. “F…Fuedal?”

“Oh Buck…” he said, backing away till his body was pressed against the door, which had closed behind him. He realized was probably not the smartest move, for in pressing his back to the door he had revealed his shaft standing at full mast, which Death Petal locked onto and began to drool even more as she got closer. “So…so big…” she said, her body shaking at the thought of that large piece of meat inside her.

“Pe…Petal…” said Fuedal as she got closer, his mind fighting tooth and nail with his body with each step she took. “I…I really think you should…should think about this before you…”

He hissed as she got right up to him, rubbing her face against his generous shaft as she looked up at him, her gaze full of lust and want as she opened her mouth to speak. “Not to be rude Fuedal…but I know from the book that this isn’t exactly something you…you can walk off once it happens…am I right?”

Fuedal sucked in his breath, not really wanting to speak. She was right of course, but that wasn’t really the problem…the problem wasn’t ready for this yet. But seeing her kneeled before him, her face pressed against his shaft as she gazed up at him made all his reservations melt. Finally he caved, his nostrils flaring as he picked her up with his magic, pinning her on her back before climbing on top of her, quickly biting down onto her neck as he drove his shaft into her body.

Petal screamed, not from pain, but from the absolute pleasure that was racing through her body at that moment. She couldn’t believe it, she had read that bat ponies responded to pain differently when it came to sex, but she hadn’t expected it to feel this bucking good. After a moment Fuedal lifted his head away from her neck, his pupils shrunken to pinpricks as he gazed at what he had just done.

“Petal I’m sorry I…” he started, but was interrupted as Petal bit down on his neck, causing him to cry out in shock as she dug her fangs in.

Her eyes rolled into the back of her head as she got her first taste of him, her mouth watering even more due to it. His blood, the thing she had been craving since reading the book on mating habits, and now the rich substance was sliding down her throat. She moaned as Fuedal bit back down, and then continued to moan as he started to rut into her, their hips making smacking noises as they repeatedly made contacts.

Fuedal had become a creature possessed, his mind totally lost the moment her fangs had bit down and delivered the venom into his body. She may have not consciously done it, but he had felt it enter his blood and he knew what it meant, he was hers now. He had in turn given her the same kind of venom, and now his mind was focused on one thing, his mare was in heat, and he was going to satisfy her.

Petal was in heaven, the constant feeling of Fuedal vacating and then filling her passage taking her to heights of pleasure she had not had the privilege of experiencing before. But not only that, the feeling of his mouth clamped around her neck, holding her their as he rutted her was nothing like she had ever dreamed.

Finally after several more thrusts she began to feel it, that sweet kiss of release beginning to mount. She let go of his neck, panting as she spoke to him. “Fuedal…I…I’m close…”

He grunted, letting go of her neck as well as he spoke. “Me to,” he said, and then he gave one final thrust, sending them both over the edge. She screamed as she felt herself being filled, Fuedal holding close to her as she spasmed around him. He thrust in a few more times, making sure his seed reached as deep as it could inside her, and then he finally pulled out, collapsing beside her and then nuzzling into her. They curled up close to each other, letting sleep overtake them as they closed their eyes, both feeling safe in each others embrace.

Author's Note

A relatively short chapter this time around, but fun all the same. As Always, I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and if you have any questions or comments please feel free to drop them on by, I always love hearing from you.

HEAT! Part Two

Fuedal woke up slowly, lifting his head off Death Petal and looking around the room. It was a nice place he had to admit, but he felt a little sore from having to sleep on the floor. He got up, intending to at least make them some breakfast, until he felt something grab his tail and pull him back. He turned to see Death Petal staring at him, licking her lips as she dragged him back over.

“Where do you think your going hot stuff?” she asked, her voice full of lust as she flipped him onto his back and climbed on tip of him.

That was when he caught it, the same smell he had caught when he had first arrived, and his eyes widened in shocked as he tried to get up. “Petal, you’re still in heat!”

“Yeah, weird isn’t it, didn’t that book say all it took was one go and our heat was over? Still though, might as well enjoy ourselves.”

“But this doesn’t make any sense,” said Fuedal, his eyes drifting till he spotted the cauldron. He remembered see her standing over it when he arrived and his mind couldn’t help but start putting together pieces. “Petal, what is that?”

“Oh that, that is the potion I make to repress my heat cycle, I’ve been using it for a really long time, almost eleven years now, though it didn’t work today for some reason, not that I’m complaining.”

Suddenly Fuedal bucked her off, causing her to growl as she watched him head for the door. “What the buck was that for, can’t you see I need this, now get your ass back here and buck me!”

He froze, for that had not been a request, she had said it with the force of a command. Again he felt his instincts betraying him, his mind focusing on the command and attempting to force him back into the room and follow her word. He turned back, looking at her as he spoke. “Look hon, I…I know how you’re feeling, believe me I do. But this may be something bad, and I want to double check on my books at home to be sure…I’ll be back soon ok.”

He waited, praying to the sisters that she would see reason, and sighing when she nodded her head. “Just…just hurry back ok…I really need you right now.”

He nodded, and then took off out the door, taking off in into the sky as fast as he could.

* * *

Fuedal landed outside the library moments latter, opening the door and then stopping when he saw who was inside.

“Princess Twilight, what are you doing here?”

“I used to live here,” she said as she examined the library, “I see you’ve changed things though, and…what the buck is that smell?”

“Sorry, I kinda came over here in a rush,” said Fuedal, running past her as he started to examine the books.

“Fuedal, you smell of sweat and sex, what the buck have you been doing, and are those…bite marks?”

“Uh…yeah,” he said, his hoof holding a book as he turned to look sheepishly at her.

“Ok mister, sit down and explain to me what’s been going on, now!”

“But but…”

“Ehem?”

“Yes Twilight…”

She smiled, watching as he went over and sat down on the couch. She walked in front, pulling up a chair and examining him closely. “Ok, who was it, I swear if it was one of my friends you are so…”

“Twilight relax, it was none of them…it…it was somepony else, and before you ask it was totally with her consent.”

Twilight nodded, “ok, but who was she, was it somepony I know?”

“I…I’m not sure, um…have you ever met a pony called Death Petal?”

Twilight’s eyes widened, “the alchemist, wow, good catch Fuedal. So how did you two meet?”

“um, not that I don’t want to be rude Twilight, but right now I have to be quick, I just left her place while she was in heat, so I have to hurry before she comes looking.”

“She’s in heat, why the hell are you here then, shouldn’t you be rutting her into a wall or something.”

“I would be if I wasn’t worried she wasn’t in trouble, you see she was in heat yesterday, so she shouldn’t be in heat today. Now I found out she has been taking a potion to repress her heat cycle…”

“Wait, did you say potion?”

“Yeah, yeah why?”

“How long has she been taking this potion?”

“She…she said about eleven years.”

Twilights face seemed to go pale at this news, “oh dear, I do not envy you.”

“What are you talking about?”

Twilight sighed, “Potions designed for that only make the next heat cycle worse, making it last longer with each cycle repressed. If Death Petal has been taking that potion for eleven years, then I’d wager you got about ten more days of rutting to do before her heat finally stops.”

All the color drained from Fuedal’s face, “eleven days! One day was tiring enough, how the hay am I supposed to last that long?”

Before she could answer there was a knock at the door, and then a voice sounded from the other side, causing Fuedal’s panic to return.

“Fuedal, Fuedal are you in their?”

He turned to Twilight as a scratching came to the door, grabbing her by the shoulders to get her attention. “Twilight you need to get out of here now!”

“What, Fuedal what’s going on, isn’t that Death Petal outside?”

“Yes and I will explain latter but right now you need to go, your in danger here.”

“In danger, in danger from wha…”

The door suddenly smashed open, interrupting Twilight as she turned and gasped. Fuedal turned to look as well, and couldn’t help but gulp at the sight, for standing silhouetted in the doorway was Death Petal, her wings outstretched and her glowing red eyes locked on Twilight as a menacing catlike hiss escaped her throat, and then she pounced.

HEAT! Part Three

Blood was pounding in her ears as she raced through Ponyville, ignoring the gasps of Ponyville’s residents as they saw her without her cloak for the first time. She reached the library, knocking on the door before as lightly as possible, trying to control herself.

“Fuedal, Fuedal are you in there?”

She waited for a response, but then her nose picked up something, a smell coming from inside the library, a female’s smell. She started scratching the door, her instincts starting to take over. There was another female inside with her male, and she was not going to stand for it. She busted down the door, taking on a predatory stance as her eyes locked on the female, a hiss escaping her lips before she pounced at the female.

The female vanished, causing her to crash into one of the book cases and scream in rage, the female had escaped! Then she saw her male running out the door and whimpered, wondering why her male was running away, and quickly gave chase.

* * *

Fuedal ran faster then he had ever done in his entire life, adrenaline pumping as he glanced back and saw Death Petal running behind him. He tuned back and kept running, knowing he had to get her back to her hut before she caught up to him, and the last thing he wanted was for his mare to mount him in the middle of Ponyville.

He kept running, running as fast as he could till he finally reached her hut, and then he got tackled by Petal, who grabbed him by the tail and dragged him into the bedroom. She threw him onto the bed, climbing on top of him and purring as she sank herself onto his pulsing member. “I was worried about so worried about you,” said Petal, leaning down and nibbling playfully at his ear.

“So…sorry,” he said shakily.

“So who the hell was the whore you had in your house?”

Fuedal froze, knowing full well where this had come from. Bat ponies were purely monogamous creatures, or they had become so after their exile. Because of this, bat pony females became extremely territorial about their mates, and became practically violent when their heat cycle rolled around, which was why Fuedal had told Twilight to get out of there.

“Hon…that was princess Twilight, she’s just an old friend.”

Death Petal looked confused for a moment, and then her eyes widened in shock, her hooves coming to her mouth as she started remembering what had happened. “Oh my goddess, I almost…”

Fuedal got up and hugged her, ignoring the fact that he was buried balls deep inside her. “Hey it’s ok, you were just following your instincts, I am the one that is sorry, I shouldn’t have left you alone like I did.”

She smiled, nuzzling into the side of his neck. “So…did you figure anything out about why I’m still in heat?”

“Yeah I did, it appears that that potion you have been taking has been making your heat cycle worse, and I had to make a guess I would assume that the reason why it didn’t work this time is that your body had built up an immunity to it, I know that can happen with certain potions.”

“Wow…but, but why the heck did I try and attack her, I mean when I saw her I…”

“Shh, let me explain. Now how far did you get in the book about our mating habits?”
“Not that far, why?”

“You remember that bite you gave me last night?”

She nodded, and he smiled, “bat ponies are monogamous, and when they mate, they bite each other and inject a special kind of venom that marks them as theirs. What that happens the female becomes very protective of her male, and this gets extremely bad when females go into heat, and they become violent, but it wasn’t your fault, you were just trying to protect me.”

She nodded, still a little worried, “and…and how long am I going to be in heat for.”

“Well counting today, we got ten more days of rutting to do.”

She grinned, leaning down and kissing him as her hips lifted up. “Guess we best get started then.”

* * *

“Your sure you saw what you saw Twilight, you sure it wasn’t just some trick your mind was playing on you.”

“Celestia I know what I saw, Death Petal is a alicorn, a bat pony alicorn. This is…I can’t believe…how could you keep this from me?”

“What?”

“You oversaw mine and Cadance’s transformation, you know about every alicorn in existence, so why didn’t you tell me she was one?”

Celestia sighed, shaking her head as she spoke. “My student I want you to trust me when I say I had no idea she was an alicorn, I never met her in the astral realm, therefore she had to have changed by another means.”

Twilight absorbed the news as Luna walked over to her sister, sitting down and giving her a knowing look. “We shall have to leave at once; we must go talk with this mare and discover how she made this transformation.”

“You may want to wait on that,” said Twilight, drawing both the princesses’ attention.

“And why is that my dear student?”

“because it seems she may have been taking a potion to repress her heat cycle, and is now stuck in heat for eleven days, though she is been taken care of at the moment by your student,” she said, pointing at Luna.

Celestia raised an eyebrow as Luna gave Twilight a look. “Really, my personal student is finally sleeping with somepony, I was wondering when he would get around to that.”

“Luna be serious, now Twilight she cant really be in heat for eleven days, you and I both know from books that once they mate their heat goes away.”

“That is true but she ten more cycles of repressed heat built up, so she is going to still be in heat for at least ten more days, were just going to have to wait.”

The others nodded, then Luna got up and headed for the window, “Well I for one and going to do my waiting in Ponyville, I will be staying at dear Fluttershy’s for the time being, I shall see you all latter.”

With that she leaped out the window, leaving the other two princesses behind. “I still don’t get what my sister see’s in her.”

“Oh come on princess, Fluttershy is a beautiful mare; let your sister enjoy herself.”

Celestia nodded, and then leaned down to whisper into Twilight's ear. “So, you want to…?”

“I thought you would never ask,” said Twilight, and then they both walked off to her room, leaving nothing but the guards to sigh in relief at not having to deal with the perverted princess any longer.

HEAT! Part Four

Fuedal breathed hard as Death Petal rolled off of him, a content smile one her lips as she got up to do some potion making. It was the sixth day of her heat cycle, and he was feeling worn out. He needed blood, and he needed it now. But he couldn’t leave Petal alone, one because of how frequent her need for sex cropped up, and two because he didn’t want her chasing him through Ponyville again.

Just as he got up there was a knock at the door, and Fuedal walked over, opening it and then gasping when he saw who it was.

“Fluttershy…what are you doing here?”

“Brining you some food,” said Fluttershy, undoing the straps that attached her to a small wagon and going over to open it up, revealing several dead animals inside.

“Fluttershy…these are dead animals?”

“Yeah and…”

“And…and your ok with this?”

Fluttershy sighed, “Fuedal I may be a timid mare but I am not stupid, I know some animals need to eat other animals to survive, you didn’t think I was keeping those chickens around for personal reasons did you?”

Fuedal had to concede that point, and when he thought about it, he did remember that she never really named any of them. “So um…who caught them?”

“Bruno did, he’s one of the wolves I look after, and he’s actually very knowledgeable about what bat ponies like food wise. Anyways I brought this all over because I was told by Luna that you might be needing it, she heard from Twilight what happened and before you ask, yes I was told about Death Petal being a alicorn and what is happening to her, so I figured you could both use the meal.”

“Thank you Flutters, I’ll get this all inside, and I’ll see you in a few days ok?”

“Alright,” said Fluttershy, who then turned and headed back home.

Fuedal grabbed one of the dears that was in the cart, throwing it onto his back and heading inside. Death Petal looked up, her mouth watering when she saw the dear, “FOOD!”

“There’s more outside,” said Fuedal, dropping it down and then kneeling down with her as she ripped into its throat.

“Mmmm, MMMMM!” she moaned, eating sloppily as blood got all over her coat. Fuedal himself wasn’t exactly being all that tidy, and he knew Rarity would freak if she saw the state he was in at the moment, assuming she didn’t faint at the sight of all the blood.”

“Oh my gosh,” said Petal as she looked up, spotting him covered in blood and pouncing, pinning him to the floor and beginning to lick the blood off his body as she ground herself against his swelling pride.

“Oh, I like where this is going,” said Fuedal with a grin, licking along her neck and groaning with approval.

“Buck me, buck me now, I need you!”

“As you wish,” said Fuedal, rolling her onto her back and then biting down, causing her to cry out in pleasure as he drove himself deep within her. He let go of her neck, kissing her deeply as he pounded her tight pussy with abandon, enjoying her moaning in time with his thrusts. He was starting to get used to the instinctual insistence of it, the primal need to satisfy his mare no matter how much it tired him, and he knew she felt the same.

She kissed along his jaw, letting her teeth sink into his neck and making him moan in appreciation of her effort. She let her tail intertwine with his, moaning as he kept up his relentless pace, feeling her pleasure build. And then he did something that surprised her, wrapping his mouth around her horn and causing her to cry out as she came, her walls tightening around him and causing him to go over the edge as well.

They breathed in deep as Fuedal pulled out, cleaning up and then returning to their meal, giggling as they grabbed the same piece of meat. They ate it slowly, making sure they ate evenly till their lips met, and then they kissed, blood mixing with saliva as their tongues wrestled for the last piece of meat. Finally Death Petal won the struggled, pulling away and swallowing the tender meat whole in a very seductive manner, giving Fuedal a look that screamed she wanted to go again, and with that he climbed back on top of her, kissing her as he continued his pleasurable endeavor.

Author's Note

And that is the end of Heat, next chapter is going to be where the princesses confront Petal about how she changed into what she is, so that should be an interesting one. As always I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter, and if you guys have and questions or comments please drop them on by, I love hearing from you.

The Potion

Fuedal woke up, feeling tired but well rested all at the same time. Yesterday had been the final day of Death Petal’s heat, and for that he was glad. That was not to say he hadn’t enjoyed himself, far from it, but it still had been a very tiring experience, and he was sure he would be sore for a few days after the fact. He gingerly got up, wincing as his legs wobbled, not wanting to support his weight.

He walked into the kitchen, seeing Death Petal already tearing into another dear with a ravenous hunger as he sat down next to her. “I am never taking that potion again; from now on you are what I take when my heat rolls around.”

“I agree, though we may want to lay off the sex for a while, I think I rubbed myself raw fucking you so much.”

Petal nodded, “yeah, I’ll agree to that, you weren’t exactly kind to my rump; I can’t sit on it because it’s too tender.”

Fuedal smiled at that, “well I remember an insistent little lady begging me to pound her as hard as possible, and would bite my leg rather insistently when I stopped.”

Petal blushed at that, but then jumped along with Fuedal when a knocking came to the door. “I’ll get it,” said Fuedal, walking out of the kitchen and then opening the living room door, gasping when he saw it was his teacher. “Pri…Princess Luna, what do I owe the pleasure?”

“I have actually come to meet with your mate my student, if I can come inside?”

Fuedal nodded, not wanting to deny his teacher but also starting to panic inside. He led her into the kitchen, which caused Petal’s eyes to widen in shock, standing and bowing to the princess respectfully, not noticing the princesses shocked look.

“So…so it is true, you are an alicorn?”

Petal rose with a blush, “Y…yes your highness, I…I am an alicorn, though…though I haven’t always been so.”

Luna nodded, “we are curious to learn how you accomplished this without our knowledge, but that will have to wait till we arrive at the palace, I have a carriage waiting outside for us, if you will follow me.”

Neither wanted to argue, and headed outside with the regal monarch, Fuedal nodding toward the drivers of the carriage, and then they climbed in, closing the door and then taking off into the sky as they headed for the palace.

* * *

They landed outside the palace moments latter, Fuedal and Petal getting out first and looking around nervously as they walked up the stairs. As they followed Luna through the castle, Petal couldn’t help but notice how ponies stared at her as they walked, causing her to try and hide behind Fuedal, who wrapped a protective wing around her.

After a long and nerve racking walk, they finally reached the throne room, Luna letting them in as they headed for the throne. They saw Celestia and Twilight there, Celestia looking surprised and Twilight looking curious. They finally reached the throne, bowing to the princesses as Luna assumed her seat, then Celestia spoke.

“So you are the mare Twilight told me about, I must admit I was surprised to hear that their was an alicorn running around without my knowledge, and I must admit I find myself curious as to how that happened.”

“I…I beg pardon princess if I have some how trespassed on something…”

“You have done nothing wrong dear; I just want to know how you did this, if it is alright?”

Petal nodded, and then straightened as she spoke. “I…I managed to change into an alicorn through the use of a potion…a potion I invented myself.”

“A potion, but what kind of potion could do that?”

“Its better that I show you,” said Petal, closing her eyes as her horn lit up. As they watched Fuedal’s eyes widened, and so did everypony else’s, for the magic that she was calling upon was large, very large. Just as Fuedal was about to ask what was going on there was a bright flash, and next thing he knew Petal’s cauldron and supplies were around them, surprising everypony in the room.

Petal breathed in deep, relaxing as the magic she had called stopped racing through her body. “Sorry about that, I just would rather use my own supplies then use the one here at the palace.”

“Miss Petal…how long have you been able to use magic like that?” asked Luna

“Ever since I took the potion…now please be quiet, I have to maintain total concentration when making this potion.”

Everypony nodded, and then Death Petal got to work. She did everything completely by magic, adding one ingredient after another till finally she reached the final step, and then she had to stop. “Ok Fuedal, I am going to need a drop of your blood for the final ingredient.”

“My blood, why can’t you use yours?”

“Because I am already an alicorn, therefore my blood will not react with these ingredients. It is the same reason I cannot ask the princesses for their blood, that and other reasons. Now please a drop of blood if you don’t mind.”

Fuedal complied, biting his foreleg and letting her take a drop, then watching as she added it, causing the potion to burst in a blinding ray of light. After everypony’s vision cleared, they all saw Petal scooping up a neon blue liquid into a bottle, corking it and then holding it out for the princesses to examine it. “This is the potion, I…I haven’t really named it yet, seeing as how it only works the one time, but this was the potion that changed me into an alicorn. Most of the ingredients very depending on the pony wanting to change, but the base ingredients are always the same, a drop of blood from the intended drinker, an alicorn stone, and a death petal blossom.”

“Death petal blossom, you…you know found some?” asked Luna, startling everypony in the room.

Petal shook her head, “No I didn’t find them, I make them.”

“Make them,” asked Celestia, “child, death petal is impossible to grow by any pony but an immortal, how can you possibly make them.”

Death Petal pointed to her cutie mark, which upon sight caused the princesses and Fuedal to gasp, because her cutie mark was the image of a death petal blossom. “I grew my first blossom when I was but a child; its how I got my name, originally my parents just called me child, for they couldn’t think of a proper name for me. I have always been able to grow them with my magic, and they have always been a key ingredient in some of my greatest potions, especially the one that you see before you.”

The three princesses looked at each other for a moment, and then Celestia got up, walking over and standing before Petal. “If you don’t mind me asking, you mentioned other ingredients, what kind of ingredients where you talking about?”

“Well lets see, there are the gems specific to each pony bread, like amethyst for unicorns, rubies for bat ponies, sapphire for pegasi, and emerald for the earth ponies. Then there is the most important ingredient you need, bones from a pony you intend to add to yourself.”

“Bones?”

Petal nodded, “yes, that is the most important, because the potion can’t simply make something from nothing, it needs specific building blocks if it wants to add that part to you. When I made my potion, I took the wing bones from a bat pony, and the magic of the potion did the rest. The transformation process however is quite painful, for the potion basically forces your body to grow the new body parts instead of them just magically appearing, so I was in constant pain for the duration of my transformation.”

Celestia nodded, knowing how some potions could have that effect on the user. “You also said it can only be used once, why is that?”

“Because of the blood you add to the potion, it makes the potion specific to the intended drinker, and will have little to know effect on anypony else who drink it. Only the pony whose blood was added to it can drink it, any other and it will not work.”

Celestia breathed our a sigh of relief, worried for a second that the mare before her had opened up a sort of Pandora’s box with this potion, “I thank you for showing us this Petal. We shall have to take some time to study it, and they we shall speak to you the latter, you may return home now if you wish.”

Petal nodded, and then turned to go, Fuedal following till Luna called out to him.

“My dear student, I wish to speak with you a moment if I may?”

Fuedal nodded, then turned to Petal, griping her wing claws in his in own with a smile. “I’ll meet you outside ok; I want to show you around Canterlot a bit before we go back to Ponyville, if that is alright?”

Petal nodded, then turned and left, leaving Fuedal to go back to his teacher to talk.

“Not here,” said Luna, quickly transporting them both to her royal study before sitting down and turning to her student. “I must say Fuedal, I am surprised you did not inform me when you met this mare, you know I have been waiting to advance your lessons in the art of night magic.”

“I am sorry teacher, but at the time of meeting we had not done anything physical at the time, it was only recently that we progressed to such activities.”

“And I assume you used protection right?”

Fuedal froze, thinking back to all the times he had matted with Petal, and not once could he remember casting the necessary protection spells to prevent pregnancy. But at the thought of that he smiled, “No, no I didn’t.”

“So she is most likely pregnant from what you are saying?”

“As many times as we did it over those eleven days, I can say with one hundred percent certainty that she is pregnant,” he said with a smile.

“And this does not frighten you; you seem to be taking this quite well.”

Fuedal grinned, “To be honest princess, I have always wanted to be a father, so the news that I may be one in the future does not frighten me in the slightest.”

“And what of your mare, how does she feel about this?”

“I don’t know yet, but I will ask her soon, this is something that needs to be decided by the both of us.”

Luna nodded, happy her student was thinking of these things properly, “very well, then I shall postpone your lessons for a while, till you have had a chance to get everything settled and had time to discuss with your mare about the foal. But before you go, I have one question for thee.”

“What it is Luna?”

Luna hesitated a moment, for it had been a long time since she had asked what she was about to. “Fuedal, you know my nature as princess of the night that I share certain…traits with the bat ponies I call kin, and I was wondering…well actually hoping that you would allow me to…to join you and Death Petal in coupling for a night?”

Fuedal froze, having not expected to be asked such a bold question by her teacher. He knew that in the past, she would sometimes seek out bat ponies to have relations with, for like them she had certain needs that could not be fulfilled by normal ponies. But that had been thousands of years ago, before her banishment and the exile of the bat ponies.

“I…I am sorry my teacher, but I am afraid I will have I cannot aqueous your request.”

“Why not, if I may ask?”

“To be frank princess, bat ponies have changed since…since you were sent away. We no longer are as open with ourselves in that regard as we used to, we have become a totally monogamous species. I…I am afraid I cannot provide you what you ask…”

“Could…could you at least talk with you mate for me, I would prefer it if it were you, for you are somepony I…I would trust to do this.”

Fuedal nodded, “I will talk with her, but I can’t promise anything, she…she almost attacked Twilight over me, I can’t guaranty she wont try do the same to you.”

Luna nodded, then gestured for him to leave, watching him exit the doorway in silence.

* * *

Death Petal stood outside the palace, waiting patiently for Fuedal to return as her mind kept her occupied with one pressing issue. She knew she was pregnant, she had looked over every event of the past eleven days, and not only had she made herself extremely flustered, she had realized that they had not once ever used the safety spells necessary to prevent pregnancy. On the one hoof she was ecstatic, she had always wanted to be a mother, but on the other hoof she didn’t know how Fuedal would react. Sure he was a kind soul, and he genuinely loved her, but she just didn’t know if he would be ready for a child or not, or children, if she was anything like her mother.

She was jolted out of her thoughts by the sound of two ponies approaching her, who she realized where bat ponies once they got a little closer, the mare with a pure white coat and silver mane and tail and black wings (an oddity amongst bat ponies), and the stallion had a coat of purest black with dark grey mane, tail and wings. They noticed her and walked over, the stallion taking to her once they got close enough.

“Well isn’t this a surprise, I didn’t know there was another princess running around, it’s a pleasure meeting you, may I get your name?”

Petal giggled, “My name is Death Petal sir, but I am afraid you are mistaken, I am not of royal descent, I am just a commoner like yourselves.”

The stallion gave her a looked as he examined her, then he gave a barking laugh, turning to the mare beside him with a smile. “Would you check that out hon, no regalia, serves me for leaping to conclusions.”

“Oh be quite dear, no harm done,” said the mare, turning to Petal with a smile on her face. “Pardon my husband, he sometimes forgets his manners.”

“Speaking of,” said the stallion, “pardon me for not introducing myself. My name is Bale Wolf, and this is my lovely wife Sin Star, we were on our way inside to say hi to our son, who we heard was in the palace today.”

This peaked Petals interests, wondering if they were talking about who she thought, “You wouldn’t happen to be speaking of Fuedal Knight would you?”

“Why yes we are, but how do you know our dear boy.”

Petal blushed, not really knowing what to say but deciding to stick with the truth, “Um…that’s because he was here with me, you see he and I are mates.”

At first she got no reaction, and then Fuedal’s mother squealed, grabbing up Petal in a hug as she squealed. “Oh my gosh my boy finally found a mate, and a bat pony to boot, oh this is so exciting. Ok dear, show me your neck please.”

“My neck?” asked Petal, looking confused.

“yes dear your neck, I want to see where he bit you, its customary for the mother to do so,” said Sin, wondering why the mare before her didn’t know that, didn’t her parents teach her that?

“It is…I must apologize if I seem naive, but I only recently started learning about my other heritage, you see I wasn’t originally part bat pony. But your son has been helping me learn about your culture, as well as parts of myself I didn’t even know about.”

“Really, well that is perfectly understandable then dear,” said Sin, taking on a motherly tone. “It must have been really frightening, dealing with all those changes and not having anypony to help you.”

Petal nodded, and then pulled her mane back, letting Sin get a good glimpse at the bite on her neck. Sin examined it closely, making sure it had healed properly and that it had know signs of infection before pulling away with a satisfactory smile. “Well it looks like the boy did well; it is nice to see that you were willing to let him bite you like that. Though now I am curious, how did you two meet?”

Petal giggled, blushing as she thought back to that night. “Well, he actually found me while I was hunting; come to think of it I’m pretty sure we were hunting after the same dear. Any way I had just been digging in when he came up to talk to me, and we kinda hit it off from their.”

“Oh how romantic, that’s almost exactly how I met Fuedal’s father when we were young, under the moonlight with the star’s shining, ah it was magical.”

Petal smiled, and then a thought struck her. “maybe I should tell them, I mean they are his parents, they know him a lot better then me in most respects, maybe I can find out through them how he might react.” she coughed to get their attention, looking nervous as she spoke. “Um…I know this is kind of sudden and all, but there is something I need to tell you.”

“What is it dear?”

“Um…well something happened between me and your son, you see my heat cycle happened recently and…”

“Ah yes, I remember when that happened with Sin here, girl wouldn’t let me leave the house the entire day, I assume you used protection right?”

Petal shook her head, causing both of them to gasp. “No…it…it never really crossed my mind to cast the proper spells. I…I have always wanted to be a mother, but I was worried that he…that he would…”

Suddenly Sin wrapped her up in a hug, holding her close and letting her calm down. “Its alright dear, you have nothing to worry about, Fuedal has always wanted to be a father, ever since he was young. You can rest assured that you have nothing to fear, I guarantee it.”

“Mom, dad?”

Everypony turned to see Fuedal, standing at the doorway to the palace and staring at his parents in surprise. They both ran up to him, his mother wrapping him up in a big winged hug as his father bumped hooves with him. “Oh we have missed you awfully, we wish you would visit us more often,” said his mother, looking him over and then running a hoof through his mane. “Long again dear, I swear you insist on driving me crazy by growing it like that.”

“Mom quit it, you know I like keeping my mane like this,” he said. He then spotted Death Petal, smiled down at his parents. “I see you have met Petal, has…has she told you about us?”

“Why yes dear she has, and I must say you could not have picked a better mate my dear, she is perfect. Now let me get a look at your neck dear.”

“Mom you don’t need to…”

“Fuedal Nocturas Knight you let me check your neck right now!”

Fuedal went rigged on reflex at the sound of his middle name, letting his mother get a good look at his neck before she finally smiled and nodded. “k that’s better, seeing as how the girls parents are not here, and from what she has told us wouldn’t know what to look for I took a look, its good, she got it in the right place just like you.”

“I knew she would mom, I gave her grandpa’s books to look over!”

“Ah smart boy, gave her the proper books instead of those god awful rewrites they made, I still don’t get why they did that.”

“Dad I told you, other ponies are not used to our kind of openness when it comes to certain things, you will just have to get used to that.”

“Well enough about, Petal has also given us another bit of news that I am sure you two need to talk about, we’ll go wait for you at the train ok.”

“The…the train?”

“Why yes dear, we were planning to visit when we heard you were at the palace and decided to let you know ahead of time. Anyway dear, we’ll see you latter.”

He nodded as they both left, walking over to Petal as she approach him. He wondered what they meant, but was soon answered when they both spoke the same thing about the same time.

“What are we going to do about the foal?”

They both stared at each other for a moment, and then burst into giggles, hugging each other as Fuedal took the opportunity to speak. “S…so I guess you talked with them about it?”

“yeah…I…I was worried you might not want to keep the foal, and I have always wanted one ever since I was young, well that and wings. I asked your mother how you felt about it, and-” she said, kissing him right on the lips before pulling back, “-what she said about you really made me smile.”

“I’m glad,” said Fuedal, grabbing her hoof in his and holding it close. “As to the foal, I promise no matter what happens, I will not abandon either of you, for I am your stallion, and above all other responsibilities my true place is by your side, now and always.”

She hugged him tight, nipping a little at his neck to show she understood before they parted, turning and heading off to meet his parents, happy once again that they had found each other.

Author's Note

Man a lot went down in this chapter, I love and hate when that happens. As always guys I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you guys have any questions or comments, please drop them on by, you know I love hearing from you.

Nightly Companion

The train ride was nice and slow, allowing them all to relax and engage in small talk. Oddly instead of the men talking about their shenanigans, it was the girls who were talking about the sex, and the men blushing as they laughed with each other.

“Goddesses I can’t even imagine being in heat for so long, that must have been maddening.”

“It was, all I could think of was the need to be rutted by Fuedal…um if that is not to embarrassing for you to hear.”

“Dear please I have heard and done worse, believe me I have no problem talking with you about your sex life with my kid, its good to hear he is so healthy, though he gets that from me.”

Bale rolled his eyes, grumbling about something or other, while Fuedal coughed, having remembered something that had happened before he had met up with them. “Um, Petal dear, there is something I need to talk with you about.”

“What is it hon?”

“Um…well yesterday Luna talked to me about what happened and…and during the discussion she asked if…if she could share our bed for a night of coupling.”

Death Petal’s eyes widened in shock, and that shock only increased due to his parents reactions.

“The night mother asked if she could share your bed, The Night Mother has asked my baby if she could share his bed…oh my goddess this is the happiest moment of my life, what did you tell her dear?”

“Well I…I may have said no OW! Dad what the buck was that for?”

“You said no to the night mother son, THE BUCKING NIGHT MOTHER! Not one bat pony has denied the Night Mother in all the history of our kind, especially not one of the Declared!”

“Dad I said no because I didn’t want to speak for Petal, she doesn’t know our history or all our customs, plus she tried to kill Princess Twilight when she found her in the library with me during her heat cycle. Did you really think I would do such a thing without my mare’s permission?”

“I would have done it in a heartbeat, son this is one of the greatest things that…”

Suddenly he and Fuedal froze up as an angry hiss sounded, both of them turning toward the source to discover it had been Petal, who got a complimentary pat on the back by Sin. “That’s better,” she said, “now can one of you nice gentle stallions tell me what the buck is going on? What is a Declared, why do you keep calling Luna the Night Mother, and why the buck is Fuedal saying no to her sleeping with us such a bad thing.”

Bale opened his mouth to speak only for Sin to smack him on the nose, causing him to whimper as she gestured for Fuedal to speak. “ok, a Declared is a bat pony guard who has been given the privilege of taking some of Luna’s blood, as a sine of utter devotion and service to her…as of right now I am currently the only bat pony she has made a Declared. As to why we call her the night mother, it goes back to the oldest generation of bat ponies, who originally could only live in the night time hours. It was Luna who heralded the night time, so bat ponies of that generation started calling her the night mother, believing she was the one who created the night and the name has stuck. As for the…the coupling, Luna shares several traits with bat ponies that…that cannot be fulfilled by normal pony breeds, so she would pick a pair of bat ponies to…to help satisfy those needs. It is considered the greatest privilege and honor to be able to do this, to help her in this way.”

“But…but why us, doesn’t she understand what you mean to me?”

“Of course she does hon,” said Sin, wrapping a comforting hoof around Petal and pulling her close. “She isn’t trying to take Fuedal from you, she want both of you for this, and it’s just for the occasional night when she cant fight her urges any longer. I know Fuedal won’t do anything without your permission, so just please consider it?”

Petal hesitated for a moment, and then nodded her head, saying she would think about it. After that the conversation shifted back to heat cycles, mostly due to Sin, and after a while got her laughing again after on particular story.

“Oh this bitch was insistent, just couldn’t accept that he was mine and just kept trying to take him. Well she got really stupid and tried to take him while I was on my heat cycle, oh I was mad, ripped into that bitch like a wild animal, got a good chunk of her wing to, and needless to say she never tried stealing my mate ever again.”

Petal was rolling on the floor, hardly able to contain her laughter at the thoughts racing through her head. “Goddesses that is hilarious, no wonder Fuedal was so worried for princess Twilight, does it really get that bad for all bat ponies.”

“Yes it does, but we’ll have to talk more about that latter, looks like this is our stop.”

They grabbed their bags and got off the train, Fuedal’s parents saying their goodbyes before heading off to explore around town. As Fuedal and Petal headed over to the library however, Petal stopped, causing Fuedal to look back curiously. “What’s wrong hon?”

“H…how badly does Luna need this…this thing we can provide for her.”

Fuedal looked confused, but answered her. “it can get quite maddening for her if she does not satisfy her other side, in fact it sadly contributed to her becoming Nightmare Moon, for her sister had forced her to stop indulging in such cravings due to her…revulsion towards it.”

Death Petal’s eyes widened and Fuedal knew where her mind was going through her head and decided to intervene. “Now before you say anything I don’t want you to do this just because you feel you have to, she will immediately turn us down if she senses that. If you decide to do this you have to do it because you want to, otherwise we will just have to tell her no ok?”

Petal nodded, hesitating a moment before speaking. “I…I know that Fuedal, but I don’t want to do this just because I feel I need to…I…I want to do this…its…well…”

“Yes?” asked Fuedal, his curiosity getting the better of him.

“…Luna is sexy…and I…I admit to having certain fantasies about her…so yes, I want her to join us, if she is willing.”

Fuedal smiled and then pulled out a quill, ink and parchment from his bag. He quickly jotted down a letter as they walked, sending it off and then smiling. They had just made it to the library when they was a bright flash, and Luna appeared behind them, walking past them quickly and then sitting down on the couch, following Petal with a pleading expression as the couple sat down, then she spoke.

“I…is it really ok, are you serious about sharing your bed with me…because if it is too much I…”

Petal shushed her with a hood, smiling at her before speaking. “Luna I am sure, I want this as much as you do…well maybe not, but I am willing to do this with you, and so is my mate.”

Luna smiled, and then nuzzled into her, breathing in her scent and letting the Petal do the same. “You may have not started out as one of them, but you are a credit to your kin, and I thank you for allowing me this, sh…shall we head for thy bed chambers.”

“Aren’t you supposed to be asking me that?” asked Fuedal, feeling a bit annoyed about the whole thing.

Luna giggled, “I am sorry Fuedal, but you know how this works, the female is the head of house, so it is her I have to ask.”

Fuedal grumbled, but nodded all the same, causing Petal to giggle as she nodded her consent. They headed up to the room, both Petal and Luna looking curiously at the large bed in Fuedal’s room as he climbed atop it, looking at them with a grin. “What, I like big beds, there more comfortable.”

“But my dear student, this bed can easily fit two fully sized alicorns with room to spare, do you really need a bed that big?”

“No, but I like it all the same. Now are we going to do this or what?”

The too females laughed, petal actually surprising the other by leaning in and kissing her, letting their tongues mingle before pulling away with a seductive grin. “Oh this is going to be fun,” she said, leaping onto the bed and turning to Luna with a suggestive wink, patting the space in front of her and Fuedal.

Luna cautiously climbed onto the bed, sitting in front of them before speaking again. “Co…could you please present yourselves to me so…so that we can begin…”

Fuedal nodded first, presenting the unbitten side of his neck, and Petal was quick to follow the motion. Luna cracked her jaw, opening it to reveal long fangs as she leaned down to bite Petal first, causing her to moan a bit due to the pleasure of the experience. After she was sure the venom had been delivered, Luna let go and did the same to Fuedal, waiting a bit before pulling away again, letting the effects of the venom take its course.

At first they didn’t feel anything, but then they both started to shake as the venom took hold, both feeling a immense heat building up in their bodies as Petal turned to Luna. “Wha…what’s happening; I feel so hot!”

“I am sorry I didn’t warn you earlier, but my marker is a lot more…“potent”, then that of other bat ponies. I promise it will pass after we…we couple, now if you would please…”

She ended that sentence with a scream of pleasure, for at that moment both Fuedal and Petal had both bitten down at the same time, covering both sides of her neck and causing her to utter a long drawn out moan. After they let go, they gazed into Luna’s eyes, noting how they seemed to glow bright as she gazed at her new lovers with joy. “I hope you are ready for this, I can be quite…insatiable.”

And with that she wrapped them both up in her wings, taking them both into a sea of pleasure as the moon rose high into the sky.

Author's Note

Fun Little chapter today, and sorry guys, no kinky threesome this chapter, I honestly didn't feel up to it at the moment, maybe another chapter. Anyways as all ways guys I hope you enjoyed the chapter and if you guys have any questions or comments just drop them on by in the comments box below, you know I love hearing from you.

Potions and Predators

Celestia waited patiently in her room, waiting for her to get back with what she had discovered about Death Petal’s potion. She was tired, tired from the events that had been transpiring since Death Petal’s secrete had been blown, which was causing all sorts of ruckus in the court. But the biggest thing that was causing her to be tired was the news from her sister, for she had been told by Luna that she was going to partake in blood mating again.

Celestia sighed, as much as she had come to realize how much her sister needed to sate that hunger, she still viewed it as a sickness, something that plagued her sister and not something to be enjoyed. But the nightmare had taught her different, and she understood that her sister needed this…no matter how much it sickened her.

Finally the doors opened to her chamber, and Celestia smiled when she saw it was Twilight, walking in with the potion clutched in her magical grip. “Have you found anything?” she asked, patting the empty spot on the bed next to her as Twilight climbed into bed with her.

“I did, and you’re not going to believe me when I tell you, but Death Petal has managed to bottle immortality.”

“What?”

“I know right, this is amazing! I don’t know if it’s the use of the alicorn stones or a combination of all the other ingredients, but she has some how managed to replicate in liquid form the same kind of energy that transformed me into an alicorn like you. Now admittedly from what she described the process of transformation is completely different, but the results are exactly the same, the creation of an immortal alicorn.”

Celestia stared at her in disbelief, slowly absorbing the information as she stared at the bottle of neon blue liquid. Bottled immortality, controllable bottled immortality…such a thing she had been looking for since she had been first turned into an alicorn by her mother long ago. She had tried, for thousands of years to come up with an easier way to grant immortality to those who she knew deserved it, to those who belonged with her in the diminished pantheon of the gods. She had tired and failed hundreds of times, and had eventually given up on ever coming up with a solution, and now this little mare had succeeded where she had failed.

“Ha…have you told anypony else about this?”

“No, just you Celestia, I figured this wasn’t something you wanted shouted for all to hear.”

Celestia nodded, smiling at her student’s forward thinking. “You’re quite right; this isn’t something neither of us can go shouting about. This will have to be handled delicately, for if the general nobles get word of this it will mean an uprising, all of them will want it.”

“I know Celestia; believe me I know, but thankfully part of controlling it is already taken care of.”

“What do you mean?”

Twilight giggled the potion a little, “it can’t be used by anypony except the pony that provides the blood, which means we can regulate it easier because of that. As for making sure no other pony makes it, we have that covered to. One, the only ponies who know what are required are you, me, your sister, Death Petal, and her mate. Two, one of the key ingredients is the hardest to get, death petal can only be grown naturally by alicorns, and that process alone takes hundreds of years.”

“But my student you forget, the way she was making it sound is that she can grow these plants much quicker, which could be exploited if were not careful.”

“I know, but nopony knows that but us, and how many ponies actually know of the herb other then in legend?”

Celestia had to admit, her student had a point. Not many ponies new about the death petal blossom, and those that did all thought it legend, so the likely hood of them discovering such was very unlikely.

“Well, I shall trust your judgment in this case, now come rest with me dear, you have been at this all night.”

Twilight nodded, then laid her head down as she set down the potion, falling to sleep as Celestia draped a wing over her, lying down beside her and closing her eyes for the night.

* * *

Luna sat up in the bed, gazing down upon her two new lovers as she remembered the night they had shared, smiling as she ran a hoof over the bite marks on her neck. It had been years since she had partaken in mating of this kind, and she had to admit she had missed it far more then she remembered, despite how much she knew it sickened her sister. She shook away that thought, deciding to instead think about the exciting conversations she was going to be having with Fluttershy when she got back home, and that was when she froze.

She quickly went over the events of yesterday, trying to remember when she had told Fluttershy that she would be spending the night with Death Petal and Fuedal. After quickly going over everything however she realized she hadn’t, and that’s when she started to panic, getting up out of the bed and pacing, accidentally waking up the two sleeping love birds.

“What wrong Luna?” asked Petal, getting up and nuzzling into the distraught mare as Luna tried to calm herself down.

“oh I have just been horrible Petal…I…I forgot to let my mate know that I would be spending the night with you, and I know she will be most distraught when she finds out I went to you without her consent, oh what am I going to tell to my dear Fluttershy?”

“What!” shouted Petal, backing away from Luna and staring at her in shock. “I…I slept with my best friend’s mare…I marked my best friend’s mare…oh no oh no oh…”

Luna placed a hoof on her mouth, stopping her from rambling as she spoke. “Petal it will be alright…Fluttershy will understand; she knows I need this, I just…I just don’t know how to tell her…”

Petal gazed at her for a moment, and then her eyes lit up as she got an idea. “Luna, what if I told you I could give Fluttershy a way to sate your other urges?”

Luna’s eyes bulged, a look of pleading and hope dawning her face as she gazed at the young alchemist, “you…you can do this?”

Petal nodded; her mind beginning to race as she thought back to the potion she had backwards engineered from her alicorn potion. “Yes I can, but I will need one thing to help um…smooth the transformation over, like the alicorn potion this one will force her to grow those new parts, but with your help we can make the process less painful.”

“But what can I provide?”

“Um…a strand from your mane…”

Luna looked at her skeptically, causing her to continue. “I know what your thinking, but I know from my books that alchemically alicorn strands contain healing properties, and can be used to help smooth over potion like the one I intend to make.” she then turned to Fuedal, walking over to him and shaking him, for he had gone back to sleep due to being tired. “Hey love, do you have anyplace I can set up shop, I would like to make a potion for Luna if that is ok?”

“Basement stairs, second door on the right is empty; you can move your stuff in there.”

She smiled, knowing he meant permanently but was too tired to say it. “Come on, this wont take too long, and then you will be able to go to Fluttershy and ask her if she is willing to go through with this.

Luna blushed as they headed downstairs, speaking up with only a little hesitance in her voice. “She…she has already expressed interest in…helping me to satisfy these urges. I don’t know if this is exactly what she had in mind, but…but I now my Fluttershy and I will support her no matter what she chooses.”

Petal nodded, heading inside and summoning her equipment as Luna closed the door behind them, continuing to speak as she got to work. “Well if she does take it you will need to help her after the change, for she will have to get used to her new anatomy, much like I had to.”

“What will I need to do?”

“one, you will need to get her used to her new diet, she is going to need to start eating animal protein to survive, as well as drink healthy amounts of blood as well, so you will need to get her used to that. Two will be the changes to her physically, she will develop fangs, her wings will change, and her eyes will develop that cat like look to them, but the biggest change that might scare her will be the changes to her fore hooves, I know it freaked the hell out of me.”

Luna nodded and then flinched when Petal yanked out a strand of her mane, growling as she watched it get added to the potion. “And that should do it,” she said, scooping up the glowing red liquid and pouring it into a bottle before handing it to Luna. “I hope this helps, and take care ok.”

Luna nodded; sharing a brief kiss with her before leaving the building, leaving Petal giggling at the spring in her step.

* * *

Luna eventually reached Fluttershy’s cottage, her pace having slowed due to how nervous she was. She knocked on the door, not too surprised when the door burst open and Fluttershy pulled her in, looking worried.

“Oh Luna I have been so worried about you, when you left in such a hurry I was worried something bad might have happened, are you ok?”

Luna nodded, “yes Dear Fluttershy I am fine, and as to why I was in such a hurry, that is actually why I am here, could we please sit down?”

Fluttershy nodded, leading her over to the couch and sitting down before speaking again. “What is it Luna; did something happen last night?”

“Yes…um, do you remember when I talked to you about my…my other urges?”

Fluttershy blushed and nodded, understanding now where this conversation was leading. “I…I suppose you found a solution then,” she said, looking hurt.

“Yes, with Fuedal and his mate Petal, who I know you know. But that is not important, what is is that Petal has provided us an option to help…help you help me with my urges, if you so choose.”

“Really?” asked Fluttershy, lighting up at the possibility of being able to help her mate fully.

“now before we…we go through with this, I want to make sure you are utterly willing to go through with this, for this option will change you into…well into a bat pony my love, with all the pros and cons that implies.”

“I’ll do it…”

“But you haven’t even spent time thinking it over?”

Fluttershy shook her head, “don’t need to, I already know I want this.”

“But how can you know?”

Fluttershy looked from side to side, as if worried somepony mite overhear them, then moved her mane to the side, letting the light sine onto the back of her neck where a bite mark was visible. “Fluttershy, is that from…?”

She nodded, “my…my first time was with a bat pony, I had met him when I was young. He…he had been part of the student exchange program that Celestia had founded reaching out to the bat pony tribes, trying to re-forge the lost connection and bring them back home. We…we hit it off pretty well, and eventually started dating…I remember Dash didn’t approve of it, but he was so gentle. Eventually we…we got intimate, and it was the most frightening experience of my life.”

Luna nodded in understanding, knowing how aggressive bat ponies tended to get during coupling.

“After the experience he broke up with me…he said he didn’t want to hurt me again, said that…that it would be better if we just went our separate ways. But…but he never let me explain, never let me tell him how much I had liked the pain…that under those screams of pain were screams of pleasure, a pleasure I have been aching to experience again.”

Luna looked down in shock at her lover, not having expected something like this from the usually reserved pegasus. But she had a sneaking suspicion there was more to it then what she had said, so she decided to take a little gamble and ask a direct question. “And was…was there something else besides that that you wanted to experience?”

To her surprise, Fluttershy nodded. “yes…I…I also wanted to experience what it was like to bite somepony the way I was bitten, to break past the flesh and to…to taste them in a whole no way…”

She shivered with arousal, letting Luna pull her close as her mind began to race with fantasies. “So you really want this?”

“More then anything I have ever wanted in my life, but only if your ok with it.”

“Ok…” said Luna, pulling out the bottle and showing it to Fluttershy before speaking again. “Now before you take this, I do have your assurance that you are ready for all that becoming a bat pony implies. The need to consume other animals, the predatory instincts, even the need for blood?”

Fluttershy nodded, “I…I have been getting ready for quite sometime…you…you remember those dear I brought for Fuedal?”

Luna nodded, “I hunted them, I had some special claws made to…to help defend myself from some of the more vicious predators. So…so I thought I would try it and…and I liked it…”

Luna’s eyes widened a bit, but she stayed silent, watching her mate as she shivered, both due to her own shock and how excited the memories made her.

“I couldn’t believe it, but I enjoyed the excitement of it all, the rush as I chased the dear down, the revelry as my claws dug into its flesh, and the thrill as I broke its neck…and it didn’t feel wrong…it felt right.”

She was shaking now, and Luna pulled her into a hug as she began to cry, sobbing into her coat as she spoke through sobs.

“They weren’t my first either, I…I have my own urges to Luna, but I could never be completely true to them…until now, so please…I…I need this.”

Luna nodded, letting her go and then giving her the potion. She drank it quickly, then convulsed as the changes started to take effect. She whimpered first changes began, but Luna didn’t panic, she could guess easily that if she hadn’t let Petal take that bit of her mane, Fluttershy would most likely be screaming right now.

The first change was to her teeth, sharpening as her canines grew into fangs. The next was her wings, the feathers actually melting away as leather stretched out between the bones, forming her new bat like wings. Her fore hooves were next, the cloven paws common to bat ponies forming as her old hooves cracked and reshaped themselves. Then came her eyes; developing into cat like slits while still retaining their color. But the last change shocked Luna the most, and that was what happened to Fluttershy’s mane, for streaks appeared in it matching Luna’s mane perfectly.

After the final spasm of pain ended Fluttershy looked herself over. Her eyes were attentive, catching every minute detail as she looked over herself. Her wings were strong, and she flexed them for good measure. She then looked down at her new paws, flexing them experimentally as her new claws dug into the wooden floor.

Fluttershy then turned to Luna, and Luna was taken aback by the look in her eyes; for it was the look of a confident predator. As for Fluttershy, she was excited, for she now felt whole and at one with herself, complete for the first time since her encounter with that bat pony long ago. Her predator was free now, and there was only one thing left to do before she was to be with Luna when night came.

“I need to hunt.”

Author's Note

Introducing Predashy in all her glory, prepare for an extremely gory chapter next update. As always I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and if you guys have any questions or comments please don't hesitate to drop them on by, you know I love hearing from you.

Rise of The Matriarch: Part One

Trigger Warning, Predatorshy

Fuedal and Petal walked along the trail toward her tree home, for Petal still had some things she needed to get from there before moving in permanently with her mate. She was a little disgruntled however, for she had had several instances of her friends who she had known for quite a while bowing and scraping the moment they spotted her wings.

“Come on hon, you knew they would react this way when they found out, I mean that is why you wore your cloak isn’t it?

“Well yes, but I never thought it would be this bad. I mean look at what happened at the boutique, Rarity was practically begging me to take all the bits back I’ve spent buying gems from her.”

“I know hon but it will pass I promise, I know I wasn’t exactly treated as a friend the first time I got here, a lot of ponies were scared of me in fact.”

“Scared of you, but you're such a nice pony.”

“I know, but to them I looked intimidating, especially seeing as how I made the mistake of arriving my first day in my guard armor.”

Fuedal suddenly got spun around as Petal grabbed him by the shoulders, a maniac gleam in her eyes. “You have guard armor, oh you are so putting that on after we get home, I have to see you in it!”

Fuedal nodded, and then he got a curiously as he spotted something behind her. “Hey, is that Luna and Fluttershy?”

Petal turned and spotted them, nodding as they walked over to investigate. The moment they got closer Petal squealed and ran up to her friend, for she had finally noticed that Fluttershy now looked like a bat pony. “Oh my goddess I am so happy for you, I was worried you wouldn’t want to do it. So…um…did you….you know…?”

Fluttershy giggled, “No, I haven’t marked her yet. No Luna and I were just about to go on a hunt; um…do you want to join us?”

Fuedal balked at that, not really knowing how to respond to such a bold request. Now it wasn’t uncommon for bat ponies to hunt in groups, but your first hunt with your mate was not something you shared, it was something special. “Um…don’t you want to just share this with Luna, I…I know that can be a special experience.”

“And who says I don’t view you two as special,” said Fluttershy, surprising them both as she kissed them both on the cheek. “Luna marked you, which makes you special to her and through that me. I don’t want to take you away from her, so if you’re willing after this hunt, I would like it if you would like to share my first time as a bat pony with all of you.”

This surprised them all, even Luna, who bent down to speak to her lover. “Are you sure about this Dear, don’t…don’t you want to…”

“Do you want them to join us?” interrupted Fluttershy, catching Luna a bit off guard.

“Um…well I wouldn’t mind, I mean they are my mates so…”

“Then I want them there, it will make it more special, being surrounded by ponies I love and sharing something special with them. Now let’s get going, I’m starving.”

She then started walking off, and the others followed. As they headed into the Everfree Luna leaned over to Petal, whispering into her ear as they walked. “You knew those streaks would appear in her mane after she drank it, didn’t you?”

Petal nodded, “do you like it?”

“Very much so,” said Luna, and then they chased after Fluttershy as she sped into the forest.

* * *

Fluttershy ran fast, her claws digging into the ground as she chased down her latest prey. She was closely followed by her mates, who had originally been staying close to her with the intention to help, but soon found out she needed no such help. Luna out of all of them had expected her to be clumsy at this, despite what her love had told her, but Fluttershy had proven her deeply wrong, taking to the hunt like a fish in water.

Fluttershy herself was reveling in it, her body rippling with power as she leaped at her intended victim. She felt at home doing this, felt at peace with the beast inside her as she satisfying her long dormant urges while tearing into her latest catch. She savored every crunch of bone, every sweet sensation as the sweet kiss of the blood crawled down her throat, causing her to moan a bit due to the pleasure it was causing.

She purred when she felt Luna slide up beside her, letting her dig in to her kill a bit as she watched the others bring over their catches. She nuzzled Luna gently as the other two started to eat, then bent down to continue to eat herself, giggling as she watched them nibble on the same piece of meat. She decided to rip off a peace herself, offering it to her lover and smiling when she bit down, chewing slowly till they were kissing. After a brief tongue wrestle Fluttershy won out, swallowing the piece of meat rather suggestively for her lover to watch before kissing her again.

It took a while to finish their meals, but after they were done they all gathered around Luna, who then teleported them to Fluttershy’s hut. Fluttershy quickly leaped upon the bed, turning and looking directly at Fuedal with a grin. “So, how does this work exactly, for bat ponies I mean?”

“We…well you would bite Luna first and allow her to bite you, as she is your mate, and then you would bite each of us and then let us bite you…which would I think make you Matriarch by the old laws.”

“Matriarch?” asked Luna, looking confused.

“Well by doing this were forming a heard, and because Fluttershy is your mate and is marking all of now, she is the head of us all, and we call the female who leads a heard the Matriarch. We will be bound to you Fluttershy, your loyal mates till the end of time.”

Fluttershy’s eyes widened at this, her mind reeling at how…strange this all sounded, not that it would stop her though. “I’m ok with that, so let’s…” she gulped, “…let’s get started.”

To be continued in Part Two.

Author's Note

Fun Little chapter this one, as the next one will be, although I figure it is best to post a word of warning to all readers. The next chapter will be extremely explicit, containing a lot of sex and blood letting throughout the chapter. As always I hope you guys enjoyed it, and if you guys have any questions or comments please feel free to drop them on by, I love hearing from you guys.

Rise Of The Matriarch: Part Two

Fluttershy moved up to Luna, leaning herself up and opening her mouth, biting down on Luna’s neck and moaning as the first trickles of her blood entered her mouth, hearing a moan from her lover in appreciation. She then felt Luna bite her neck, purring as she let her mate take a bit of her blood before letting go. She then walked over to Petal and Fuedal, doing the same with them before backing up, letting her mind absorb all the sensations running through her body.

After a moment she turned toward Fuedal and Petal, smiling as she nuzzled them both. “I want you both to attend to me as I take care of Luna, I think we can agree foreplay with not be needed tonight. Fuedal I just want you to take me, but Petal, I want you to attend to my wings, that way we can all have some fun.”

She then turned and pushed Luna onto her back, waving her rump for Fuedal to see as she started to eat out Luna. But before Fuedal could mount her Petal grabbed him, turning him to face her, giving him a worried look. “Fuedal, I don’t know how to attend to Batpony wings, I’ve only ever preened Pegasus wings before!”

“Don’t worry it’s not that hard, you just have to lick along the surface of the wing to stimulate it, and if you must bite, bite the limb itself, not the flap. And if you want to maximize the experience, lick along the veins.”

He gave her a quick smile, then mounted Fluttershy and bit down on the back of her neck, causing her to cry out and then bite Luna on the thigh, causing her to scream in pleasure. Petal grinned weakly, then approached one of Fluttershy’s wings, hesitating before giving it a lick, eliciting a moan from her due to the combination of pleasures she was experiencing.

Fluttershy was in heaven, pure, primal, sinful heaven. Every thrust, every lick, every taste, every sensation left her feeling both alive and powerful all at the same time.

Fuedal let go of Fluttershy’s neck, ignoring the wine from his matriarch as he leaned over to give Petal a kiss, holding it for a moment before pulling back and smiling at her.

“You know,” said Petal with a husky voice, “I only realized it briefly during our night with Princess Luna, but I really love watching you rut other mares I’ve marked.”

Fuedal nodded, unable to speak due to the pure pleasure ripping through his body, and he proceeded to go back to Fluttershy, only to have her flip herself around and send him onto his back, jumping on top of him and begging to ride him as she dug her claws into his back.

“HOLY FUCK!” he yelled, then he grabbed her as well, redoubling his efforts of pounding her senseless and causing her to howl in pleasure.

Petal watched in awe as the two mated, amazed at the ferocity going into such an intimate act. “Guess that just leaves us to attend to each other,” Luna whispered into her ear, causing Petal to shiver due to the hot breath washing over her ear. Luna pulled Petal onto her chest, and then kissed her briefly before breaking it and speaking. “I was wondering; do you per chance have any potions that can give you a nice thick piece of pony meat, if you get my meaning.”

Petal did, and an evil glimmer entered her eyes as she made the potion appear, popping the cork and gulping it down before giving Luna a playful nip as a new piece of equipment rapidly grew from her body, which she proceeded to insert into her princess as Luna screamed with pleasure.

Petal glance over at Fuedal, who she saw was looking at her and flashed him a grin, falling into rhythm with him as the both pleasured their two new lovers and sent them over the edge, feeling their climaxes and soon climaxing themselves. Petal got up, helping Luna up and then leading her over to where Fluttershy and Fuedal rested, wrapping themselves around them both before falling into a deep sleep.

Fluttershy woke up to the sound of stamping on her bedroom door, carefully extracting herself from her lovers and going over, opening it and finding Angel Bunny standing outside, glaring at her and pointing an angry finger at the ponies in her bed.

“Look Angel I know you’re angry about this but we will have to talk about this later, Mommy is tired.”

She turned to close the door, only to have Angel through a walnut at her head. Now in the past, Angel could do something like that and get away with it, because he was always confident that Fluttershy’s timid nature would prevent her from retaliating, but today was the last straw. A predatory hiss escaped her lips as she rounded on Angel, and she quickly pinned him down on the floor with her hoof as it split apart, her claws digging into the floor on either side of his head as Fluttershy glared down at him with her glowing eyes.

“Ok let’s get something strait, as you can see I am no longer the timid mare I used to be Angel, so things are going to have to change between you and me. I know in the past I let you get away with pretty much anything you wanted, but I can see now that was a mistake, so I am putting my hoof down. I am going to give you one chance, just one chance to show me that you can be a good bunny and behave, otherwise…”

She got really close, so close that their noses were practically touching, and when the last few words left her lips, they were whispered in a tone of finality that made angels blood run cold.

“…I will take extreme pleasure in making you my next meal.”

She then got up and left, closing the door and leaving angel alone on the floor, who after a moment got up and went into his little house, curling up into a little ball before drifting off into a fitful and nightmare ridden sleep, full of teeth, claws, and glowing turquois eyes.

Riding Toward A Red Dawn: Part One

Twilight made her way toward Fluttershy’s cottage, having heard from several ponies who had come into her court some strange rumors about the usually timid mare, rumors she would have normally scoffed at until now.

She didn’t want to admit it, but she had been growing steadily worried with how close she and Luna had been growing, mostly due to how much she had learned about the princesses…“needs” when it came to her other side. She knew Fluttershy had her own dark desires, having been told by Fluttershy about them, and she knew it was only a matter of time before Luna discovered them as well…and she was worried that her friend would give herself to Luna in a desire to satisfy all of Luna’s urges, and possibly end up killed.

She reached the door, knocking on it and then yelping in surprise as Angle Bunny came out from the window, latching to her leg and crying as he started to babble in bunny speak to her.

“Whoa Angel slow down, I can’t understand you when you’re talking so fast, now what is going on.”

Angel took a few quick breaths, and then told her all that had happened since the day Luna had arrived with the strange bottle in her grasp, to when Fluttershy had pinned him to the floor with her new claws. Twilight just stood there in shock, then jumped when the door opened and Fluttershy walked out, her bat-like wings rustling as she smiled at Twilight.

“Why hello Twilight, I’m sorry I was late to the door but I kind of wore myself out last night, I hope you can forgive me.”

All Twilight could do was stare, for Fluttershy’s neck and several other parts of her body were covered in blood and recently healed bite marks. Fluttershy noticed that she was staring, and the moment she looked down she gasped, laughing as she covered herself with a wing. “I’m so sorry about that, I kind of had an exciting night. Why don’t you wait inside with the others, and I’ll go get myself cleaned up.”

Before Twilight could speak Fluttershy left, revealing her living room and the ponies inside, which made Twilight gasp. “Petal, Fuedal, what are you guys doing here?”

“Oh, high Twilight,” said Fuedal nervously, “um, were here because…well…”

“They are here because of me,” said Luna, walking out of the kitchen and passing some cups of wine to each of them, sipping at her own as she sat between them. “I recently marked them, and after Fluttershy’s transformation she decided that they should join with us, so that is why they are here.”

“No.”

She didn’t know why she had said it, but she knew she meant it, glaring at Luna as she spoke her next words. “I knew it was a bad idea for you to be with her, ever since I found out about that other part of you, but I kept silent because of your sister, but no more. You are going to leave Fluttershy alone from now on and you…” she said, pointing her hoof at Death Petal, “are going to change her back into a pegasus.”

“I don’t think that’s your decision Twilight,” came a growl from the bathroom, and Twilight turned to see Fluttershy standing in the doorway, her eyes glowing menacingly as she stared down her friend. “I won’t let you break up my heard Twilight, nor will I let you lock my true nature back in its cage, I am done living a lie.”

She moved over to Twilight, her mouth snapping open as she exposed her fangs, hissing a little as she stepped closer. “I think it is best you leave Twilight, I have to get ready to go, were heading off to the bat pony lands so that we can make our heard official, and if you truly are my friend, I will expect you not to interfere.”

Twilight couldn’t believe her ears, but she slowly backed out of the house, teleporting away as soon as she crossed the threshold and returning to the palace. There she grabbed up a quill and several rolls of parchment, writing quick letters to her other friends and sending them off, then she made her way to Celestia’s quarters, needing both her advice and her love in this troubling time.

Fluttershy and her mates walked along the path toward the train station, Fluttershy talking with Fuedal’s parents, who had come by after Luna had sent a letter to them.

“Oh you are just going to love the dark lands dear, it will probably take some getting used to not having a sun over your head, but I can tell you’re a pony of nature so I think you will enjoy it a lot.”

“It sounds interesting, but what do you mean by not having the sun over my head?”

“Well you see,” said Bale Wolf with a grin, “the entire land is covered in tall trees, and those trees have really thick and long branches, which cover the entire sky and keeps the forest in a state of eternal night.”

Behind them Luna looked surprised; the idea of a place where no sunlight showed taking her back to the time before her banishment, when such an idea had been a dream for her, before her hunger had driven her mad.

“It sounds wonderful, and it will be nice to hunt in such protected lands instead of the Everfree forest.”

“And you will love it dear,” said Sin Star, “and the game is just to die for!”

They reached the train station, but were surprised when they saw a group of royal guards, accompanied by Princess Celestia.

“Luna, could you please step over here, I need to have a word with you.”

“Sister what is going on, why are these guards here?”

“They are here at my behest now could you please come here a moment, I promise nothing will happen to them.”

Luna was reluctant, but with a quick nod from Fluttershy she walked over to her sister, who draped a wing over her and gave her a worried look.

“Sister, I know I said I would look more kindly on your other side because I know you need it, but now I fear you have taken things too far…I need to ask you, did you pressure Fluttershy into this.”

“I would never do anything to harm my matriarch.”

Celestia turned pale, her eyes darting over to Fluttershy and back to her sister, seeing all she needed to see. She had seen the confidence radiating from Fluttershy, as well as sensed the new feelings her sister held for her, and it made her want to scream in rage. She had always worried this would happen, she knew that when a bat pony marked another pony, that they left a venom inside them that caused a connection to form between the two ponies, and the connection grew stronger the longer the venom remained. She didn’t want anypony having any kind of control over her sister, least of all a pony who happened to be one of her greatest protectors.

“Luna I cannot allow…”

“Sister I know what you are going to say and I am going to have to say no, you cannot take me away from her, we have shared the blood, and you know that kind of connection cannot be broken by any distance or words, so I suggest you just accept this for what it is and get over it.”

Celestia was taken aback by this, too stunned to react as Luna turned away and walked onto the train along with her mates, giving one last glance back toward her sister before the doors of the train closed, the train moving down the track as Celestia simply stood there.

“……sister…no…”

Fluttershy purred as she let herself be wrapped up in Luna’s embrace, watching as the others got comfortable. They had gotten the luxury of getting their own car, Sin having said it would be good due to how long the ride would be.

“So Fuedal,” said Sin, looking at her son with a big smile as she spoke, “how does it feel to have the Night Mother as you matriarch dear, it must be quite something.”

“Um mom…Luna is not my matriarch, Fluttershy is.”

This comment caused both Bale and Sin to look at him in shock, before finally Sin spoke up with a hesitant voice. “Well…that’s interesting, though it could prove problematic later.”

“What do you mean,” asked Luna, looking puzzled as Sin looked apologetically at her.

“Well Princess you see, we bat ponies…”

“Honey why do you keep using that term?” asked Bale, “it’s so demeaning.”

“It’s the term most ponies know us by Bale, but if you would prefer it I can switch to our proper name.”

“Prithy,” said Luna, “I seem to have been gone longer than I thought; for I always heard normal ponies referred to us as Thestrals, at least they did back in my day.”

Bale nodded, “a lot changed after you disappeared, we kind of…left Equestria for the dark lands, figuring that after your transformation we would be unwelcome in their land. But eventually we started coming back, and under the protection of Princess Celestia we were able to begin mingling with the other pony tribes, though it was during that time that the term ‘bat pony’ arose.”

He then inclined his head toward his wife, letting her know that she could continue.

“As I was saying,” said Sin, “We thestrals have always viewed you as our goddess, and…and most of them, especially the ruling council, would not look favorably upon the goddess of the night not being the matriarch in a herd.”

Luna’s eyes widened, looking panicked as she voiced her concerns. “But why, I am a mare of free will capable of making my own choices, why should it matter if I am leading the herd or not.”

“Because you are the first of us Luna,” said Sin seriously, “we can’t help how we see you, especially when it comes to you taking lovers amongst our kind. I know this must come as a shock, but unless we…do something about this, I am afraid the council will never allow this heard to form, at least not legally.”

The others all watched as Luna processed the information, then, much to everyponies surprise, Fluttershy got up and walked up to her, whispering into her ear for a moment before pulling back, nodding to her before sitting back down. Luna gulped, and then nodded her head, turning back to Sin before speaking.

“What…what must we do?”

Sin seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then she reached inside her saddle bags, pulling out a vial which immediately caused Fuedal to hiss and back away from it.

“Fuedal…”

“NO!” he growled, baring his fangs at his mother before glaring at the vial. “You cannot make me take that, I will not take that, why would you even carry that?!”

“Because I bought it long before you were born Fuedal,” said Sin, looking at Bale with worried eyes before speaking again. “I…I was worried your father was not the right…match for me, especially with how his parents had reacted to me. I…I know that you look rather harshly upon what I am presenting you…”

“Harshly…HARSHLY,” Fuedal roared, his wings flaring along with his rage. “I campaigned endlessly to try and have that vile creation removed from this world, and you carry it around in your saddle bag like every day…!”

He was stopped by a hoof grabbing him by the shoulder, turning to see Death Petal looking at him in confusion. “Fuedal what is wrong, I have never seen you this angry before, what she has in the vial can’t be that bad.”

Fuedal breathed in deep, calming himself before letting himself speak, knowing he needed to stay calm for this. “About three hundred years ago a unicorn by the name of Nocturnal Bane started studying the effects of thestrals venom on recipients, under the delusion that our kind was using this unique bite to steel away mares, not knowing all the history and culture behind our venom. Through this research he…he managed to develop a cure, and that’s when things went to hell.”

“What…what do you mean,” asked Petal, fearing the answer even as she asked.

“You got to understand,” said Fuedal, “Bane wasn’t just the only one under that delusion our venom could be used to steal mares. There were hundreds…nay thousands of ponies who believed as he did, and the moment he said he had a cure which could help protect their loved ones and others from the threat of the thestrals venom, let’s just say that it went from cure to chemical weapon faster than you can say Magic is Might.”

Petal gasped as he turned his face away, fighting back rage as he continued. “Thousands of my kind lost the ability to mark their mates when those ponies began using this…“cure”…the devastation only stopping when Princess Celestia intervened, destroying the weaponized version of the cure but…but keeping the non weaponized version around, giving it to the council of elders to decide what to do with it, though as you can see, they decided to keep it, much to many thestrals regret.”

He then turned to his mother, keeping his gaze fixed on her before speaking. “I don’t care if this will help us mother, you are not making me take that cure, for I will not lose my connection to Death Petal, not even for a moment.”

“I know that Fuedal,” said Sin, “which is why I am only offering this to Luna and Fluttershy, as they are the ones who need to switch positions.”

She then turned to the two intended ponies, smiling softly at them before speaking. “You don’t have to worry, unlike the weaponized version of this cure; the cure itself only removes the latent venom which is in your bloodstream, not the venom produced by your own body. The only thing I have to warn you about is that, after you take this cure, you will lose your connection to bother each other, and my son and his mate, but it will only last till you bight each other again, for the cure becomes inert once it eradicates the venom in your blood.”

The two nodded, watching as Sin poured the cure into two cups and then passing it to them, before heading to the door with her husband. “we’ll leave you alone,” said Sin, and then they left, leaving the room as Luna and Fluttershy both looked at their drinks.

“You don’t have to do this,” said Fuedal instantly, “we don’t need the council to approve of anything; we can just have each other, that is all we need.”

Luna stared down at her up for a moment, and then she turned to Fuedal, shaking her head as she spoke. “But it would not be official, while I would love for dear Fluttershy to remain my matriarch; my natural instinct is to lead. And also, if I am to…to completely changed into what I am meant to become, I need this…we need this.”

She then nodded to Fluttershy, and then they both drank, taking it all in one gulp and then setting their cups down. As the cure worked through their system, Luna began to feel her connection the three ponies beside her begin to vanish, till all that was left was her love for them, but now it was but a pale trade compared to the…enhancement…the venom brought to those feelings.

They didn’t waste any time after Luna confirmed with Fluttershy that she too had lost her connections, and so they quickly set about rectifying the issue. Fluttershy moved first, biting Fuedal and Death Petal and receiving bites in turn, and then she turned to Luna, presenting her neck to the regal pony to allow her to finish the bond.

Luna didn’t hesitate, sinking her teeth into Fluttershy’s neck and administering the venom, feeling Fluttershy wait a bit before finally biting her back, and then she did the same with Fuedal and Death Petal.

Finally after everything was done, Luna left to tell Sin and Bale that everything was finished, and then she returned, following her mates toward the large bed and curling up with them, letting sleep take her as the train road on toward their destination, not even noting the red tinge that was steadily growing on the moon, threatening to consume it.

To Be Continued......

Author's Note

Man this chapter took forever to do, but I finally know where I am going to go with this story, and trust me, things are going to continue to get more interesting from here. We get a tiny glimpse into some history behind the bat ponies, as well a name change for them, and while I know that name does come from Harry Potter, it still fits well with this group of ponies, so I decided to use it. Also I know the whole Luna and Fluttershy switching positions in the heard is kind of strange, but it is necessary for the plot, and besides, our little couple is going to be having enough problems once they reach the Dark Lands, especially once word gets around that the night mother has taken Fuedal as one of her own.

As always guys I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and if you have any questions or comments, please feel free to drop them on by, I always love hearing from you guys.

P.S. Also for those wondering, yes the immortality potion will be coming up again eventually, just not yet, we still have a lot of story to cover before we get back to that.

Riding Toward A Red Dawn: Part Two

“Guys, wake up, we have arrived.”

Luna and the others rose, looking out the window to see that darkness had befallen the train, Luna’s eyes widening as she looked upon the darkened wood. They all left the train after collecting their things, Fuedal speaking with both Fluttershy and Death Petal as they walked, while Luna kept her head on a swivel as she looked at the darkened wood around her.

The trees were old, very old, some looking as old as the night goddess herself as they walked through them. And as they walked, Luna could see many forms of wildlife darting among the trees, many of these creatures looking like they had adapted to the nighttime surroundings, their movements showing that they could see quite well in the dark.

“You know it took forever to convince the ponies of Equestria to build a train station here,” said Fuedal with a grin, “they kept going on and on about superstitious nonsense and other such dribble, but we eventually convinced them to do it.”

“What sort of superstitions,” asked Luna, who couldn’t fathom why anypony would not want to work in this old and lovely woodland.

“A lot of crazy theories, they used to think the forest was cursed, or that we thestrals were waiting in the tops of the trees, waiting to grab ponies who were foolish enough to wander through our wood alone.”

“How interesting,” said Luna, grinning as they made their way, smiling as they passed a particularly tasty looking herd of elk, one which she was being drawn to hunt after.

But she knew she couldn’t, instead contenting herself with following her mates as they headed deeper into the wood. “It is such a lovely forest…and its leaves seem to add the most beautiful shade of red to the light of my moon.”

She kept walking for a while, then noticed that she was no longer being followed and quickly turned, looking to see her mates and Fuedal’s parents staring up at the sky in fear. She then thought about what she said, her eyes widening in shock before she leapt into the sky and got above the cover of the canopy.

When she looked up at the moon she gasped, for it looked like veins of blood were moving towards the center of her moon, an image she had only seen once before, over a thousand years ago when her sister had first asked her to repress her nature.

She knew what this meant, but she had thought this event wouldn’t be happening so soon in this lifetime…unless…

She leaped down from her perch on the trees, waving a wing to her mates to bring them close before whispering to them as they got close. “I know you three must be afraid, but…but I know what this means.”

“Princess, what the hell is going on!?”

Twilight was running after the princess, having caught her after noticing the moon had been starting to change, as had the rest of nation.

“Something that has not happened in over a thousand years, around the time I told my baby sister she must repress her nature as a thestral, which lead to my dear sister becoming nightmare moon.”

“Wait…so does that mean she is becoming nightmare moon again, do I need to gather the elements of harm…”

Celestia cut her off, “no Twilight, she is not becoming Nightmare Moon again…Instead, she is becoming something she was meant to be, something I wish she didn’t have to become.”

They stopped when they reached the balcony where the two sisters usually raised and lowered the sun and moon, both of them looking up at the moon as Celestia began to speak. “I have never really told you about my parents, have I Twilight?”

“No,” said Twilight, “no I don’t think you have.”

Celestia smiled, “I had figured, so let me explain now. My used to control the sun, before I took over the day for her, but my father…he always favored the night, due to him a unique breed of Alicorn known that he called thestracorns.”

“Wait…like Death Petal?”

Celestia nodded, “yes, indeed very much like Death Petal. But truth be told he was really the first of his kind, and when it came to which pony took after which parent…Luna always took more after our father.”

She stayed silent after that, letting Twilight work out what she meant till finally the young mare gasped, looking at her mentor with shock. “Wait, you mean that the moon turning red means she’s going to…”

“Become another Thestracorn,” finished Celestia, “yes, it almost happened before, well…before I decided to stop her, and my father said a similar event happened when he became what he is now.”

“But then why did you stop her,” asked Twilight, “I mean if this is a natural thing, why stop her from embracing her true self?”

“…because even though he was my father, he…his habits always disgusted me, for I couldn’t help but associate them with the acts of a monster. And the idea that Luna, my precious baby sister, might become such a creature, it terrified me, terrified me so much I forced her to repress her nature, no matter how much she pleaded with me to let her feed.”

Twilight let that sink in, letting her mind process the ramifications of what this meant. Celestia was afraid of her father, and by extension, Luna when she finally changed. It was strange, but expected, after all, Thestrals were some of the most misunderstood of the pony sub-races, and were one of the few that lived in the kingdom that actually needed meat and blood to survive.

But she could pose concerns like that later, for now her princess needed comfort, and if the moon was anything to go by, Luna was soon to become what she was meant to be…for good or bad.

Luna found herself standing upon a great stone structure, her mates by her side, and the entire population of the Dark Wood, every pony looking worried as they stared up at the moon, till Luna cleared her throat to speak.

“My ponies, I know you must be frightened by what is happening to the moon, but you need not fear, for this is in fact a good thing for us, and especially for me.”

All the thestrals look confused, so Luna continued to speak. “As you all know, over a thousand years ago I became the monster known as nightmare moon, a ravenous monster who was bent on creating night eternal who was supposedly driven by jealousy.”

She paused, letting that last word sink in, then continued. “This however was not the only reason, for as you know, I am also part thestral, and in fact, I was approaching an event in my life my own father went through, an event he called The Change.”

“When this event happened to him, he went from being an ordinary Alicorn; to becoming a being he calls a Thestracorn. As the name implies, this species of alicorn emulates the aspects of not only the three tribes, but also emulates the aspects of Thestrals, and before I became the creature nightmare moon, I was supposed to change into this legendary creature.”

All gathered gasped at this news, even her mates, but she continued through it. “However, my sister viewed what I was becoming as a curse, and, due to this fear, she forced me to suppress my nature, which eventually drove me mad.”

She smiled, looking up at the moon as a tear fell down the side of her cheek. “I had honestly thought that I would have to wait another thousand years for this event to happen again, but now, today of all days, the change is happening again.

She then looked down, her smile becoming wide as she leapt to her hind hooves, spreading her forelegs and wings wide as she loosed with the Royal Canterlot Voice. “SO EAT, DRINK, AND MAKE MERRY, FOR TONIGHT IS MY REBIRTH AS THE TRUE GODDESS OF THE NIGHT!!!”

The crowd roared and cheered, and then began flying about, thestrals brining out food, drinks, and instruments as they began to celebrate, Luna and her mates coming down from the large stone structure began to glow, blood beginning to leak from it into the pools below.

As the party progressed, Petal was amazed at how…open everypony was being around each other, especially some of the larger couples (it seemed that the culture wasn’t as monogamous as Fuedal had led her to believe.)

However, she was not ready for the sight of several ponies actually making love on the grass in the open clearing, causing her to back up till she bumped into Fuedal’s mother, who smiled at her before speaking. “You’re not used to such displays being conducted in public are you?”

Petal shook her head, which caused Sin to chuckle, “believe me, this party will probably be quite tame to the ones I’m used to, because sometimes they get downright wild. But we have the goddess watching us tonight, so I don’t think anything too crazy is going to happen. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to go find my husband.”

Sin left Petal then, only for Fuedal to show up moments later and begging nuzzling into her side, “Hey you.”

“Fuedal,” she squeaked, noticing that he was hard and trying to push him away, “you’re showing yourself!”

“I know,” said Fuedal huskily, grinning a bit ash he began nudging her to a nearby crop of bushes. “But I can’t help myself; it’s been so long since I’ve been at a party like this, and having you here with me is driving me crazy.”

Petal made to speak, but then she felt the burning between her legs, as well as a tingling coursing through the entirety of her body, causing her confusion. “What is this?”

“It’s the magic of the forest,” said Fuedal, flipping her on her back and smiling down at her. “When thestrals start to party, the forest reacts, filling the air with life and fire, making us wild.”

With that, he plunged himself into her depths, Petal crying out in pleasure as she surrendered to his wild passion. A distance away, she could see Fluttershy being similarly tended to by Luna, who was growling like a mad beast as the moons light began to grow brighter and brighter.

She didn’t know how long they mated in the bushes, but as the night wore on both her and Futile became more and more aggressive in their love making, occasionally trading places as one or the other would pin each other down, growling all the while.

Finally, after what seemed like her fifth orgasm, Petal heard a gasp from a distance away, and looked to see Luna had moved back to the platform, her eyes turned to the moon and her horn glowing so dark it was almost black.

Then, suddenly, the moon burst with light, and a red beam shot down from it, striking the platform and enveloping Luna in its light, leaving nothing but a silhouette visible.

As the gathered watched, the silhouette began to convulse, parts of it changing shape till finally its eyes opened, shining white as a feral roar loosed from her mouth and a shockwave was flung out from her, causing all gathered to be flung off their hooves.

When they got back up and looked to Luna, many a Thestral gasped, for their night mother had undergone a drastic change. Her fur was a darker shade of blue, even darker then the blue of her old coat. Her eyes, once like other ponies, were now slitted like that of Thestrals, and glowed a bright neon teal color, showing her excitement.

Her fore hooves now were like theirs, claws digging into the stone pedestal as she gazed out at all of them, but the most glorious change was to her mane and tail, for instead of just stars in her mane, mini constellations could be seen within, from the Ursa-Minor, to the constellation Cancer.

“My mates,” she said in a calm voice, “come to your matriarch.”

Hesitantly, Fuedal, Petal and Fluttershy walked up to her, and when they got close enough, they saw that her fangs were now showing, and her ears were tuft like theirs. When they reached her, she nuzzled them gently, letting her sent wash into their lungs before pulling back and speaking to the gathering at large.

“My dear children, this night has been successful, and I am now as I should have been so many years ago. Please, keep celebrating, and do not worry, I will not be far away, but I would like to take the time to exercise my new form with those I am close to.”

A cheer went out from the crowd, and then they began to depart, heading deep into the woods as the festivities continued on in earnest.

Author's Note

Sorry this took so long, was struggling with several parts of the chapter, but now its finished, hope you all enjoy.
