Chapter 1: Discovery

A forest. Darkness, not the kind of darkness he was used to, enveloped him. He shuddered at the cold, otherworldly, almost evil feeling of this almost endless power. Suddenly, he heard deep, seemingly ancient voice chuckling somewhere far away. Abruptly, the scene changed to a desolate, charred plain with gloomy mountains rising off into the distance. The dark power swirled around him, and the voice chuckled louder. “Soon” it moaned, “Soon.” Then everything was gone…

“Morning Twilight, where are you going this early?” asked Spike, groggily as he crawled out of his basket. “Spiiiike, it’s almost noon!” chided the purple Unicorn. “I only let you sleep late because you were up all night re-shelving all of the books after I um…” “After you took them all down to find a book that was on your bed the whole time. I know.” Said Spike rubbing his head. “If you need me, I’ll be back in my basket.” He yawned and got back into his nice warm bed and closed his eyes. “Oh Spike. I guess you can have the day off. I need to go pick up some more ink and parchment. I’ll be back soon!” she said as she trotted out of the library, but the baby dragon had already drifted off to sleep.

Twilight strolled through the evening air in Ponyville after a full afternoon of running errands. It wouldn’t have taken as long if Pinkie Pie hadn’t come along and made her try out some new cupcake recipes. As she left the main street that ran through Ponyville, she saw something move in an alley. She stopped and strained her eyes to see what had interrupted her walk home. Darkness was quickly approaching and almost nopony roamed the streets. She could just make out a dark figure standing at the back of the alley. That’s strange… She thought. Nopony lurks in dark alleys in Ponyville. Well, except for Pinkie Pie. Maybe she needs something? At any moment, she expected her earth pony friend to come bounding out to greet her, however, the dark pony remained motionless. The curious Unicorn tiptoed over to the alley keeping her eyes locked on the shadowy figure, which now seemed larger than the average pony. Much larger. “Pinkie?” asked Twilight. “Is that you?” the she said, expecting a trick. The figure motioned for her to come closer. She inched forward, mentally preparing to use magic if things got out of hand. She finally stood in front of the cloaked and hooded figure, now realizing that it was the nearly twice the size of a normal pony. “C-Celestia?” Twilight stammered, but as soon as the quavering word left her mouth she knew she was wrong. The figure twitched suddenly, and seemed to weaken, but even so, this pony definitely had an overwhelming and strange aura of power. “Twilight Sparkle.” Said the pony in a deep voice. Twilight was taken aback. Not only was this NOT Celestia, it was a male pony, and he knew her name. “W-what! What do you want from me?” Twilight’s horn began to glow with her pinkish-purple aura. The pony chuckled and his hood fell away, revealing a deep purple coat, spiky purple and black mane and a sharp, pointed horn. His intense green eyes locked with Twilight’s as his horn glowed with a bright purple aura. His cloak seemed to melt away into darkness and revealed a lean, muscular body and huge, powerful wings. The small Unicorn in front of him gasped, “An Alicorn?” He chuckled slightly and said, “Yes, and I need your help.”

He had arrived in Ponyville shortly after noon, concealed by shadow, of course, to look for… them. For centuries, even millennia, they had been the only things he thought about. Now the time had come to act. This place sure has changed a lot since the last time I was in Equestria. Hell, the last time I was here, this place WAS hell. He chuckled a bit at his little joke. No. This is no time for jokes. I have to concentrate. I was told I would find the Elements of Harmony in this place. And once I have, well, the rest should fall in to place. He materialized from the shadows in a dark alleyway off of Ponyville’s main road. Being the master of shadow and darkness, he could completely conceal himself as long as there was some amount of shadow around. He preferred to jump between shadows to walking or flying. It was much less conspicuous which allowed him to sneak around undeterred by curious ponies. Suddenly, he noticed a small purple Unicorn slowly coming towards him. “Pinkie?” she asked. “Is that you?” Is she talking to me? Who is Pinkie? The name stirred something in his memory. Could this be? No. There are plenty of other mares named Pinkie. This couldn’t be the Unicorn I’ve been looking for. He had to find out. He beckoned at her and she cautiously came closer. “C-Celestia?” she asked. What!!! Only close friends or relatives call her that! She MUST be… His stomach did what felt like a triple backflip and mind went completely blank. A thought finally came to him. I was right! She thought I was Pinkie Pie, the Element of Laughter! So she is… He racked his brain to remember this pony’s name. “Twilight Sparkle.” He finally said. The startled pony readied her magic and said “W-what! What do you want from me?” He lowered his hood, and magicked his cloak away to expose his wings. Twilight gasped. “An Alicorn?” His mind was buzzing with thoughts of being so close to this Element, no, HIS Element. He snapped back to the lavender pony in front of him and said, “Yes, and I need your help.”

Twilight’s mind was buzzing with questions. Who is this strange, purple Alicorn? What does he need my help with? Can I trust him? The Alicorn blinked. “So?” he asked. “Will you help me Twilight Sparkle?” He can’t be THAT dangerous. After all, I helped defeat Nightmare Moon AND Discord. I could take on one Alicorn if I needed to, right? “Sure. I’ll help you.” She said, still trying to make sense of the situation. “But we need to get something straight first. You obviously know my name, but I don’t know yours.” To her surprise, the Alicorn blushed ever so slightly and said, “Obsidian. Obsidian Shadow. I would prefer you to call me Shadow.” “Well Shadow,” said the purple Unicorn. “We can talk more at my house. Follow me. The two ponies left the alley and made their way to the library in the crisp night air.

Back at the library, Twilight lit some candles and said “Make yourself at home. Try to be quiet though my assistant is asleep in the next room.” Twilight took a seat on the floor in front of the wooden coffee table in her kitchen. Shadow awkwardly followed suit. The table was a little too small for him. “This may take awhile,” Shadow said. “First let me tell you what I need from you. It may seem like a lot for me to ask but promise me you won’t make a decision until I have told you everything.” Twilight nodded. “What you are about to hear concerns the fate of Equestria as well as the Universe, and you are to tell NOPONY without my permission. I need you to willingly surrender the elements of harmony to me because a great evil is stirring.” Twilight’s eyes widened. WHAT!?!? He can't be serious… “An evil that I defeated millennia ago, shortly after the Sky Ponies created the universe, when Alicorns and other ponies were able to exist together in harmony. His name is Darkmoor the Twisted.” Even though she had little idea of this “evil”, hearing that name sent a cold chill down Twilight’s spine. “As a foal,” continued Shadow, “Darkmoor was a normal earth pony, born to the King and Queen of the earth ponies. However, as he grew up, Darkmoor’s parents grew increasingly worried about their little prince. He hated even the presence of other ponies, preferring to stay locked in his quarters, constantly building strange contraptions out of anything he could find. He seemed happy enough, so his parents left him alone. Time passed, and Darkmoor’s parents died, leaving him control of the earth pony kingdom. Eventually, all the earth ponies left because Darkmoor was an evil dictator and took away the earth ponies’ houses, food and even water. He built a giant castle filled with dead ends, traps and dangerous contraptions that he used to terrorize anypony who was foolish enough to displease him. He kept gaining more and more power, and nothing seemed to be able to stop him. This is when the Sky Ponies tossed us a lifeline.” “The Elements of Harmony?” Asked Twilight. “Exactly.” Shadow concluded.

“Anyway, six Alicorns were chosen to wield them in the battle against Darkmoor. I was one of the six. The Elements were once tied to me and the other five, but after Darkmoor was frozen in the dungeon of the Windigos, we separated from the elements, as we didn’t need them anymore. The Windigos protected the Elements and made magical arrangements to pass them to the next six ponies who were worthy.” “Us?” asked the eager purple Unicorn. “No of course not! Have you ever met a Windigo?” Shadow asked.  “No…” she replied, slightly embarrassed. “I believe you know the story of Hearth’s Warming Eve?” He continued. “The six founders of Equestria used them to convince their subjects to cooperate and make Equestria into a truly successful place.” “But weren’t the Windigos trying to freeze the ponies? Weren’t they evil?” asked Twilight. “The Windigos were just testing the ponies to see if they were worthy. I admit, they didn’t have the best intentions if the ponies failed, but most ponies naturally want to cooperate with each other so I am not surprised that they were worthy.” “So what happened after Equestria was founded? Where did Celestia and Luna come from? WHY ISN’T THIS IN ANY OF MY BOOKS???” Twilight nearly screamed and nearly woke up Spike who was thankfully still asleep in his basket upstairs.

“Darkmoor is one of the most dangerous and best kept secrets in the universe, what if somepony bad or insane or naive found out and alerted everypony to Darkmoor and the Windigos? Don’t you think the Windigos would be a little pissed off about curious ponies showing up to see “an insane, evil pony in a block of ice?” The Windigos like secrecy, that’s why they move around so much, so nopony finds them and uncovers their secrets. As for your princesses, they are part of an agreement, a treaty, if you will. The Alicorns and the other ponies had an argument before the Windigos were charged with protecting the Elements. The Alicorns thought they should keep them because the original bearers were Alicorns. The other ponies thought that they should be kept with everypony, because that was more along the lines of true harmony. If the Windigos hadn’t stepped in and shown everypony some sense, ponykind may have been wiped out for good. The Alicorns thought it was best to separate from the rest of the ponies. While the founders of Equestria were off founding Equestria, the starving earth ponies sent a plea for help to the Alicorns. Shortly after Equestria was founded, the parents of Celestia and Luna, King Hyperion and Queen Morphia, were sent to keep the peace with the Elements of Harmony while Equestria blossomed. As Equestria grew, the King and Queen sealed the elements in the temple in the Everfree forest until you found them.” “So how is Darkmoor “stirring”?” asked Twilight. “Probably one of the Windigo guards had an accident or slacked off or something and awakened Darkmoor. Another option could be a rebellion…” Shadow trailed off. “But why should YOU have the Elements? Shouldn’t they be shared like you said?” the purple Unicorn asked scathingly. Shadow facehoofed. “Don’t you ponies know ANYTHING? Only an Alicorn can unleash the true power of the Elements. They react… differently, more powerfully, to the presence of an Alicorn. That is another reason why Alicorns rule Equestria. This may be our only hope.”  Twilight scoffed, but now, after hearing Shadow’s story, she believed no, TRUSTED this strange Alicorn. She ran her eyes over his sturdy back and wings, which rested on his firm muscular flank. Twilight gasped. His cutie mark! It was almost the same purple star shape as hers, but it seemed to shine black if she tilted her head just right.

“AHEM!” snorted the Alicorn. Twilight blushed profusely. “It’s just… your cutie mark…” “is a lot like yours? Yes, it’s the mark of powerful Magic, but now, if you please, I would like to sleep. There is time for more questions in the morning. Tomorrow, we should tell the other Element bearers what I just told you. They need to be willing to surrender their Elements too.” He said. Twilight nodded and only then realized how tired she was. She got up and led Shadow upstairs to her bedroom. “There’s only one bed...” the purple Unicorn said sheepishly. “No matter.” Shadow replied. His horn glowed purple as what seemed like cloud made entirely of shadows materialized on the floor next to Twilight’s bed. The Alicorn strolled over to the shadow-cloud and plopped down on it. “Good night, Twilight Sparkle.” He said. “Goodnight.” She replied with a content smile as she lay down on her own bed. It sure has been a full day… she thought as she drifted off to sleep.

Brace yourself. CLOP is coming!

Chapter 2: What Happens in the Library…

The forest again. It had to be the same one. Same cold darkness, same evil laughter. This time, he had some idea of what would happen, so he was not surprised when the scene shifted to show the same charred and smoking plain from before. This time, however, the voice continued. “Obsidian Shadow… I know you would stop me like you did before, but this time, heh heh heh… You can't do this alone…” Six shining orbs of different colors appeared in the sky above the plain. “I will annihilate them one by one, starting with this…” An orb, one of pure white broke from the group. Darkness descended on it and seemed to squeeze the life out of it until it exploded in a shower of golden sparks. The scene froze and disappeared. “NOOOOOOOOOOOO…” he screamed.

“…NOOOOOO!!!!” Shadow sat bolt upright in his dark cloud-bed, still screaming. Twilight was jerked awake by the continued screams coming from the purple Alicorn. “Wha.? What’s wrong? Shadow? CALM DOWN!” Shadow stopped screaming. “What the hell?” asked the slightly aggravated and bleary-eyed Unicorn. “I- he- he’s going to- I can't- ooohhhh…” A single shining tear dripped down Shadow’s cheek. Twilight was shocked. Whatever just happened… made him cry?!? “A- are you okay Shadow? She asked, feeling a little sorry for him. He wiped his face off with his hoof. “Yes, I’m fine Twilight Sparkle. It was just a dream…” I hope… He trailed off. Poor Shadow… I bet he’s been through a lot… Twilight looked down at his slightly shaking but well built body, his muscular neck, his deep purple wings… She felt a slight warmth between her back legs and blushed. Not this again… Twilight finally understood why she liked this stallion so much. She had entered her yearly mating period earlier that week. She  had not realized that the main reason she went along with this Alicorn’s story was because she was incredibly horny and secretly hoped to get him in bed with her. This is BAD. I just let some strange Alicorn into my house just because I’m in heat. CONFOUND THESE HORMONES!!! I thought I had learned to control them! It seems they have had the same effect on me as alcohol does… I can't just let this go unattended… Maybe just this once… “H- hey Shadow?” Twilight asked meekly. “Do- do you want to come- um… is it okay if -uh… Doyouwanttosleepwithme?” She blushed furiously and hid her head under her pillow.

Shadow incredulously turned his head toward her. As he did, he detected a musky scent coming from Twilight. Only then did he realize that he had smelled traces of it on her since they had a few hours ago. Is she in… does she want… oh shit… Twilight timidly peeked out at him from under her starry blue pillow. I can't… An Alicorn of my standing shouldn’t, no COULDN’T do something like this so… so suddenly. “It’s alright… um… if you didn’t want too…” Twilight turned even redder and closed her now tearful eyes. Oohhhh… now I’ve gone and made the whole situation worse! He probably hates me for asking such an inappropriate question… Shadow blushed, almost as much the embarrassed Unicorn had. It has been soooooo long since I last… it would be rude not to… she is definitely ready… The smell of Twilight’s arousal was almost overpowering. Shadow couldn’t help if he was getting hard… "That… that would be nice, Twilight.” She opened her eyes, embarrassment and tears fading. “Really? You would?” “Yeah,” He replied. “But just once. I really shouldn’t be doing this except…” He stood up and Twilight saw his fully erect member. She gasped. “Wow, I’ve never seen…” she was interrupted by Shadow’s lips meeting hers in a slightly awkward kiss. “Sssh…” he whispered as he joined her on her bed. He kissed her again, neither pony noticing or caring about anything but each other. Shadow ran his rough tongue across the small Unicorn’s lips and they timidly parted. Their tongues met in a hot, wet embrace. They explored every crevice and contour in each others mouth for several passionate minutes. Shadow broke the kiss and moved down Twilight’s neck to her belly. She moaned softly as his teasing lips caressed her sensitive stomach. He moved lower and she gasped as he ran his warm tongue down her beautiful little marehood. He looked up at her and said playfully, “you liked that didn’t you, you naughty filly.” Twilight blushed and nodded. His teasing was driving her crazy.

Shadow ran his tongue around her pussy enjoying the taste of her sweet arousal. Twilight moaned and squeezed his head between her legs. “Mmph!” Shadow’s muzzle was unexpectedly pushed up against Twilight’s marehood. Embarrassed, the purple Unicorn lowered her legs and blushed. “S- sorry Shadow…” “It’s okay” he replied. “You dirty little filly,” he added with a grin. His words sent a shiver down Twilight’s spine. It turned her on even more when he talked dirty to her. “I have been a bad filly,” said Twilight, seductively. “I should be punished for being such a bad, bad filly.” “Well in that case…” Shadow said as his horn started to glow with his purple aura. Four shining ropes materialized in the air and wrapped themselves around Twilight’s hooves, securing them tightly at each corner of the bed. Twilight squeaked in surprise and pleasure as she laid on her back, completely helpless and exposed. Shadow chuckled to himself and stood over her. He whipped his tail back and forth between the bound pony’s legs, eliciting cute moans and squeals of pleasure from her. He moved down to the foot of the bed and began to run the tip of his hoof up and down Twilight’s dripping pussy. He teasingly rubbed her clit and the purple Unicorn squealed. “Yes! Right there! Ooohhh PLEASE don’t stop!” she whimpered. He continued stimulating her sensitive little clit, every so often giving her marehood a sloppy lick with his tongue. The helpless pony strained at the ropes and moaned in ecstasy as Shadow removed his hoof and sucked hard on her clit. The purple Alicorn poked his tongue between her tight, wet lips and wiggled it a little. Twilight shivered a bit, and knew she was close to climaxing. Shadow was ravaging her marehood now, darting his tongue in an out, nibbling lightly on her clit and sucking her juices greedily. Twilight screamed and convulsed as he put his whole tongue deep inside her and bit her clit. She came, flooding the larger pony’s mouth and nose with her hot, sticky cum. Shadow snorted in surprise sending his warm breath and Twilight’s juices over her still orgasming pussy. After a minute or so, Twilight came down from her high panting and sweating, but satisfied. “That… that was amazing!” the lavender pony panted, basking in the afterglow. “Oh, we’re not done yet!” chuckled Shadow. “In fact, I’m just getting started!”

He lined his throbbing cock up with her still dripping marehood and she gasped as she felt its head brush against her. He slowly guided himself inside her, and she gasped once more. This feeling was so new and amazing! He was filling her tight, wet marehood with his hot, throbbing member, and she loved every bit of it. He pushed deeper and Twilight screamed as pleasure was taken over by pain. Shadow stopped and looked up at Twilight with concern. After a few seconds, the pain slowly started to die down, and Twilight’s pleasure returned. “I- I think I’ll be okay now…” she said softly. “It- it’s just…” “Your first time?” Shadow asked. Twilight nodded and begged, “Please don’t stop,  it feels so good…” Shadow nodded and wordlessly pushed even deeper until she completely enveloped his large stallionhood inside her warm, sticky wetness. Twilight’s pain was gone but the heat and pressure building inside her was becoming almost unbearable! As Shadow pulled out, the purple Unicorn moaned in pleasure. The Alicorn began thrusting, slowly building speed. Every time their hips connected, Twilight moaned louder and louder until she was screaming at the top of her lungs. Suddenly, Shadow stopped and Twilight opened her eyes, not noticing that she had closed them. “Sssh Twilight, you’ll wake your assistant.” Shadow said, breathlessly. “I- I- MMPH!” She grunted in surprise as a ball gag was magically pushed into her mouth and buckled tightly behind her head. “That’s better,” Shadow said with a grin. Twilight loved this new feeling of silent helplessness. She looked at Shadow with her huge purple eyes as a thin ribbon of drool hung from her bottom lip. The cute, helpless look that she was giving Shadow turned him on even more as he resumed his thrusting. The pleasure was building inside both ponies, and after a few more minutes of heated passion, Twilight came again. She closed her eyes and moaned through her gag as a feeling of incredible and overwhelming pleasure engulfed her. Her mind went completely blank and her eyes rolled up in her head as she experienced her most powerful orgasm ever. Shadow came soon after as she clenched tightly around him and drenched him with her cum. He sent load after load deep inside Twilight, moaning as he experienced his most powerful climax as well. Both ponies passed out, Twilight still bound and gagged by Shadow, who collapsed next to her, his stallionhood still buried deep inside her pussy. They slept there, covered in each other’s sweat and cum until late the next morning.

Chapter 3: Reunion

Twilight slowly awoke from a deep, comforting sleep. Uuhhh… what happened last night… Memories of the events of the past night came flooding back to the purple Unicorn as she realized she was still tied and gagged on her bed. Shadow was still peacefully snoozing, his member still resting inside her. She used her magic to push off Shadow’s ropes that had now weakened due to their conjurer’s absence of focus. She pulled herself away from the sleeping Alicorn and undid the red ball gag in her mouth. She worked her jaw up and down to relieve the stiffness of being gagged for an extended period of time. She placed the gag on the floor near the ropes, and stared into space. That was… amazing. I never dreamed that sex could feel so good. Especially… She focused her gaze on Shadow’s magical bondage equipment. He wouldn’t mind if I kept these, would he? She levitated the ropes and gag into her nightstand drawer for “safekeeping”.

Shadow stirred and lifted his head off of Twilight’s pillow. He grinned sheepishly as he realized the mess they had made. Dried cum and sweat caked both ponies, not to mention the bed and the floor. Shadow wordlessly waved his horn in the direction of the mess and it vanished, leaving two clean ponies awkwardly standing on the spotless floor of Twilight’s room. “Um… thanks- I guess… For last night I mean. I really needed that.” Twilight said, eyes glued to the floor. “Don’t mention it.” Shadow grinned. “Now, to business. The Elements? We should go talk to the other bear-” “NO!” the Unicorn snapped. Is that ALL he thinks about? Why can't he think about me, or last night or…. “Are you fucking SERIOUS? We just… I just… we had… I just now realized how STUPID I was last night. Get out. OUT!” The deep purple Alicorn ducked as a heavy book sailed past his head and crashed to the floor behind him. “What? Twilight? What did I do?” “OUT YOU EVIL BASTARD!!! LEAVE ME ALONE!” Tears were streaming down the distraught Unicorn’s face. “IS THAT ALL YOU THINK ABOUT? GETTING THE ELEMENTS? I NEVER WANT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!” Another book flew past, clipping Shadow on the wing. “Ow… No! You heard the story! I thought you trusted me!” “DON’T YOU UNDERSTAND ANYTHING??? NOW GET. THE FUCK. OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!” A third book hit the confused Alicorn square in the chest. He realized that there was no arguing with her in this state and crashed through the Library window followed by another book. “YOU”LL BE SORRY!” he called behind him. He did not know what to do, or where he was going, or what had just happened. All he knew was that he had failed, and that was unacceptable.

Meanwhile, Twilight broke down crying on her bed, upset with herself more than anything. What a treacherous bastard! He may want to hurt me, or kill me, or hurt or kill somepony close to me and I trusted him all because of fucking heat! I thought he would forget and let the Elements alone, but no… Instead he wants them all to himself. It’s a good thing Celestia and Luna keep them. He can’t get through TWO Alicorns. I have to do something about it though… I think I should go warn the others about him so they don’t get tricked or… used… like I did. I thought he and I had something… NO. Focus. The others. Twilight got up and galloped down the stairs and out her front door. One thing was for sure. What had happened last night should NEVER happen for a second time. I will control my hormones and I will NOT trust strange ponies EVER again.

Shadow rested on a cloud high above the Everfree forest after flying in circles for hours. Maybe I shouldn’t have slept with her. Maybe I should have just stuck to getting the Elements. Now this place is royally FUCKED. Shadow glanced around at his surroundings. Several puffy clouds hung in the sky as Celestia’s sun began to sink in the west. Hold on… Celestia! That’s it! Twilight obviously knows her so- ooohhhh… A sudden, depressing thought came to him. I can't see Celestia… The Elders of Alicropolis specifically told me not to. But she shouldn’t interfere with my mission THAT much… Maybe I’ll just stop by and… It has been soooo long… With his mind made up, Shadow took off for Canterlot castle for the first time in millennia.

The two Alicorn princesses of Equestria were just finishing their royal supper when a frightened looking guard interrupted. “Y- your majesties? Um- there’s somepony here to see you. He says it is urgent.” The guard bowed. “Urgent…” said Celestia, exasperatedly. “Send him in…” the guard scampered away and returned a few moments later followed by a tall pony clad in a familiar black cloak and hood. Celestia gasped. It couldn’t be! “Obsidian? Obsidian Shadow?” she asked. “Is that you?” The pony’s cloak disappeared revealing the dark purple Alicorn in question. Celestia squealed in a very un-princesslike manner and bounded across to her guest and buried her muzzle in his short, silky mane. “Ooh it has been too long!” she exclaimed with glee.

“Sister?” asked a confused and slightly shocked Luna. “Is this…” “Yes Luna, it is! My special somepony!” Shadow blushed in surprise. The two HAD gotten quite friendly when Celestia aided him and the other Alicorns in the Gryphon war of the second age, but that was a different story. Didn’t we decide to stop seeing each other after our… carelessness… nearly cost us the war? Whatever. I won’t get distracted this time… Thoughts aside, all Shadow cared about at the moment was the beautiful white Alicorn still embracing him tightly in the middle of the Royal Canterlot dining room.

“Oh Shadow!” Celestia said as she finally released him. “I have missed you soooo much…” She kissed him lightly on the lips. Shadow thought back to the sleepless and steamy nights in his tent on the battlefield with her so long ago. “I missed you too Tia… but I need… something… something that one of your friends has.” “You can't be serious Shadow! Still after all this time, you can't let them go?” Celestia chided. “No, Tia you don’t understand. Darkmoor is stirring. We need the power of the Elements to stop him!” The white Alicorn’s face fell. “You don’t mean…” “I do, but it seems your student doesn’t trust me.” Shadow replied. Celestia chuckled. “You never were good at the whole friendship thing. I suppose I could talk to her…” she teased. Shadow’s face flushed with embarrassment. He didn’t like when she was so brutally honest… -but it didn’t matter. There were more pressing matters to deal with. “Sister?” Luna asked again. “It is almost time for the evening duties…” “Oh! Right. Sorry Luna.” She turned to Shadow. “I have my duties to attend to. We can talk in the morning.” She kissed him gently once more, leaving him slightly perplexed. Why can’t she see me now? It doesn’t take THAT long to lower the sun.

Meanwhile, Celestia strode to the West window of the dining room while Luna took her place at the East. Their magic flared up and illuminated the whole room with yellow and blue light. In the same instant, the sun disappeared and the moon rose, a full, shining silver. Shadow turned form the beautiful moon in time to see Celestia slump to the floor, snoring quietly. A few of her guards rushed forward and carried her away to her chambers. “You must excuse our- er… MY sister. She has had so much official business to attend to lately that she tires very easily.” Shadow nodded, finally understanding. “In the meantime,” Luna continued, “feel free to join me in my chambers. I would love to hear about you and your… adventures…” she added, seductively. Shadow mentally facehoofed. Not Luna too… At least she won’t freak out afterwards like Twilight did…

Chapter 4: Luna’s “Shocking” Secret

Luna and Shadow sat together on Luna’s bed, silently sharing a bottle of Equestria’s finest sparkling apple cider. Unbeknownst to Shadow, Luna had been staring longingly at his flank and wings for several minutes. “Mmm…” sighed the smaller Alicorn, sipping her cider. “Now that we are alone, you can commence to fuck our royal marehood.” She said seductively. Luna’s abrupt bluntness caught Shadow off guard. He knew this is what she wanted, but he didn’t realize that she had no idea of the romantic customs of the present day. I thought Celestia had taught her manners too… Whatever. Duty calls… Shadow grinned and kissed the slightly inebriated Moon princess. She blushed slightly and softly returned his kiss. They explored each other’s mouths and tongues, letting out an occasional moan of passion. After a few more minutes of heated kissing, Luna pulled away.

“I have… something I want to show you…” She said, breathlessly. She turned toward the servant’s entrance to her room and called, “OH BOLTY!!! WE REQUEST THY SERVICES IN OUR ROYAL SLEEPING QUARTERS!!!!” The servant’s door swung open revealing a blue maned, white Pegasus clad in a tight, latex maid outfit. She slowly entered the room, eyes glued to the floor. Luna turned to Shadow and said, “Lightning Bolt here is my personal servant. She has special talents with… things, don’t you Bolty.” Lightning Bolt nodded. “Due to an unfortunate lightning accident at last year’s Best Young Flyer’s competition, Bolty has a little debt to pay off…” Shadow could only guess as to how this had occurred. “During the competition,” Luna continued, “Bolty conjured a lightning storm and one of her bolts ACCIDENTALLY…” She glared playfully at the maid-Pegasus, “attacked our royal flank.” Luna gestured at a faded scorch mark on her attractive midnight blue plot. “However, this showed me that electricity could be very… pleasurable. Now Bolty,” Luna turned to her maid. “Please make our royal arrangements…” Shadow grinned inwardly. Well. THIS could get interesting…

Luna conjured a puffy white cloud at the side of her bed while Lightning Bolt shuffled across the room to a large wooden chest. She got six sturdy-looking ropes out of it and went around the room, securing them to hidden rings in each corner of Luna’s room. She flew up to the ceiling to attach the two remaining ropes so that they hung down in the center of the room. Meanwhile, Luna positioned herself in the middle of the room while Bolty finished with the ropes and approached the cloud. The Pegasus prodded it gingerly with a forehoof and the cloud began to darken. She expertly squeezed it and it let out a little crackling noise and a spark of yellow energy. From the bed, Shadow watched amusedly as the Pegasus secured Luna’s hooves with the ropes from the walls and tied the two hanging ropes around Luna’s lower waist and under her forehooves. She returned to the corners of the room and pulled the ropes tight, until Luna was suspended in midair, comfortably supported by the ropes, but completely unable to move. The bound Alicorn let out a little moan of anticipation as Bolty gathered up some of the magic thundercloud and returned to her mistress’s side.

Lightning Bolt squeezed the piece of cloud above Luna’s flank and it zapped her lightly on her soft, firm plot. Luna squealed in delight as the latex clad pony continued to tease her flank with the lightning. Shadow grinned and felt himself harden as the dark blue Alicorn’s squeaks and screams increased in volume. “Fetch our new- ow! Toy- ah! Bolty…” Luna gasped between shocks. “Yes Princess…” the Pegasus murmured softly. She went back to Luna’s trunk and got out a strange contraption. To Shadow, it looked like two small glass domes connected by tubes to a large bottle with leather strap attached to it. Bolty took it in her mouth to directly under Luna’s soaked marehood. She placed the domes around Luna’s firm little nipples and pushed a small button where each dome connected to its tube. Luna gasped as her nipples were sucked into the little domes. The suction released in a second, only to return, full force in the next. Luna moaned deeply as a small trickle of milk dripped out of her teats. Bolty had procured more cloud and was strapping it in to the leather harness on Luna’s slowly filling milk bottle. Every time the suction activated, the cloud was squeezed, sending an electrical charge up two small wires, all the way to the bound Alicorn’s lactating teats. Luna squealed louder as the tingling pleasure added to the wonderful pressure on her pert little breasts.

Luna wordlessly turned and locked eyes first with her maid, then with Shadow. “Mistress wants you to help.” Bolty said in her defeated, monotone voice. Perplexed, the deep purple Alicorn glanced at the Pegasus. “She wants more clouds.” Luna nodded and moaned in pleasure. Shadow cautiously used his purple aura to break off a few bits of cloud and levitate them over to Luna. He tightened his magic and each cloud released a small bolt onto Luna’s slightly quivering plot. Her cries got louder and louder as her nipples were slowly drained of their precious milk and the two ponies continued to shock and tease the her whole body. “YES! THOU SHALT SHOCK OUR ROYAL PLOT HERDER!!! WE DEMAND TO- Mmmph!?!” Luna grunted in surprise as Shadow tired of her melodramatic yelling. He had conjured another red ball gag, which promptly strapped itself tightly in Luna’s mouth. At first, she struggled against the gag, letting out cute little moans and whimpers of surprise and annoyance. Luna eventually gave up and accepted the gag after a few more minutes of continued whining and squirming. Maybe I could get used to this new submissive thing. She thought. Shadow sure seems to be catching on well…

“I think it’s time for you to learn your lesson princess!” Shadow said suddenly. He dropped his aura and his clouds drifted to the floor. Ducking under the rope that held Luna’s left hind leg, he stood behind the bound Moon goddess. He lined himself up with her dripping marehood and rubbed it with the tip of his throbbing, rock hard stallionhood. Luna moaned in pleasure. She had been awaiting this for a long time. The sensory overload of all this stimulating had gotten Luna wetter and hornier than she had ever been in her life. She loved the sharp, tingling sensation on her cute little nipples as her milking device lovingly sucked at her sensitive teats. Her sweet smelling milk had almost filled the bottle halfway. She loved the prickly feeling that the tiny lightning bolts left on her firm, voluptuous plot. Every time a bolt connected with her, Luna shuddered and squirmed as a wave of tingling pleasure coursed through her body. She also had grown to love the wordless submission that Shadow had forced on her with the ball gag. Small ribbons of drool fell from Luna’s mouth as she bit lovingly on the red rubber ball in her mouth. More than anything in the world, the Moon princess needed the strong purple Alicorn teasing her to get on with it as fast as possible.

Shadow slowly pressed against Luna’s dripping marehood and the helpless mare moaned loudly through her gag. Shadow grinned as he pushed deeper and her warm, sopping wetness enveloped him, almost to the base. As he slowly and lovingly pulled out, Luna squeaked as a flood of pleasure almost overtook her. Shadow was surprised. She had almost came with only his first thrust! He pushed in again, faster this time as the captive Alicorn moaned and tried to resist orgasming this early. It just felt too good to be over so soon! Shadow began fucking her faster and faster, and soon, her juices exploded in a warm cascade of extreme pleasure over the purple Alicorn’s stallionhood. However, Shadow had no intentions of stopping. He continued to pleasure Luna’s gorgeous, wet marehood for several more passionate minutes. He neared the edge of orgasm and gritted his teeth as he thrusted all the way inside Luna. He finally came, sending load after load of hot, sticky sperm inside the deep blue mare, bringing her to her fifth or sixth orgasm of the night. Luna let out a final muffled and blacked out, finally reaching her limit. After a few moments of basking in the glorious afterglow, Shadow pulled out of the unconscious Alicorn and looked around the room. He blushed as he saw Lightning Bolt, sitting in a corner, clopping furiously, surrounded by a pool of her love juices.

Sorry this took awhile, but wasn’t it worth it? Also, it may be awhile until my next chapter, I am gone for the next week for spring break.

Chapter 5: Bolty

“So… Shadow asked awkwardly. The Pegasus looked up at him, surprised and embarrassed. “Whoops! I… um… ah…” she stuttered. Shadow noticed that this was the first time Luna’s servant had shown any emotion. As if reading his thoughts, Bolty said, “She likes it better when I’m submissive. Says it “adds to the mood”. It has been fun um- helping the princess, but she never stays conscious long enough for me to get my turn…” she trailed off. The room was silent for a few seconds, save for a small, mechanical pumping noise. The maid-Pegasus squealed and ran over to Luna, quickly detaching the device from her slightly swollen nipples. The noise stopped and Bolty capped the almost full bottle of Luna’s sweet, creamy, light blue milk. She then flew around the room and undid the ropes until Luna rested peacefully on the plush carpet of her quarters. After untying the Moon princess and unbuckling the ball gag, Bolty returned the ropes, pump and gag to Luna’s trunk. “Sorry about that.” She said as she returned to Shadow. “She gets angry and sore when I don’t clean up when she’s through.” Shadow nodded.

“Do you want some help with that?” Shadow asked, gesturing at the puddle of Lightning Bolt’s arousal soaking in to Luna’s rug. She blushed and nodded. Shadow slowly approached her and she met him in a warm kiss. With their lips locked together, the two ponies enjoyed several long minutes of hot, sloppy kissing. Bolty broke the kiss with a little whimper and stood awkwardly a few inches away from the deep purple Alicorn. “Um… do you mind if… I- um… use one of Luna’s- ah… toys?” she asked softly. Shadow grinned and replied with a small nod. The latex-clad maid Pegasus rushed over to the toy chest and brought out a device similar to Luna’s nipple pump. However, this device had only one ending, a soft, rubbery, unremarkable looking bead of plastic. Bolty strapped the remains of her thundercloud into the leather harness on the other end of the device. She grinned and returned to Shadow with the device. “So…” he asked. “What does it do?” Bolty grinned again and began to lick the bead until it was completely coated in her saliva. She took the bead in her hoof and moved it to directly under her curly blue tail. With a thrill of excitement, Shadow realized what the device did. With a little moan, Bolty inserted the bead into her plothole and flicked a switch on the wire that connected it to the cloud. She whimpered as a faint blue glow traveled up the wire to her plot. Unbeknownst to Shadow, this device was magically enhanced to conform to the user and was currently filling the white Pegasus’s plothole. Bolty moaned once more as the device expanded, increasing her feeling of complete and absolute fullness. At the limit of the white mare’s pleasure, the device stopped growing, leaving Bolty panting and sweating, feeling completely satiated and perfectly full.

“Are you going to let me join in?” Shadow asked, finally understanding what the device actually did. “Just a sec…” Bolty replied as she turned a small dial to the “3” setting on the cloud harness. She squeaked in pleasure as a small current of electricity set off a blissful tingling sensation in her plothole. “Ah! Ready…” the Pegasus said. Shadow wasted no time in positioning himself behind the white mare. As he lined himself up with her sopping marehood, he flicked the power setting on the cloud to “6”. Bolty shrieked as the tingling and shocking pleasure in her plot doubled. Shadow pushed forward and his head slowly slid into her loving sanctuary. The latex maid-pony moaned as his hot, pulsing stallionhood was pressed deeper inside her, filling her like no toy or device ever could. Shadow gritted his teeth as he started thrusting harder, pleasure building inside him.

After a few more moments of relentless pleasure, Shadow reached behind him and turned Bolty’s dial up to “9”. She screamed and collapsed on the floor as the pleasure filling her plot so perfectly increased once more and she was sent headlong into a mind-blowing orgasm. She loved the tingling, slightly painful, but extremely pleasurable sensation that the device was giving her. Slightly exasperatedly, Shadow hoisted the Pegasus up by magic and conjured a series of metal rings that buckled around the mare’s torso, waist and hooves, effectively keeping her in a standing position while he fucked her. He conjured several thin ribbons of magic that wrapped themselves around the Pegasus’s stiff, erect wings. The ribbons straightened themselves, interlacing between every feather from the base of each wing to the tip. Shadow’s magic ribbons started to vibrate, sending shivers of amazing pleasure up and down the bound mare’s wings. She moaned as a strip of black cloth was tied tightly around her eyes and a red ball gag was forced into her mouth and tightly secured behind her head. Bolty whined through her gag as her pleasure was intensified by her newfound and absolute helplessness.

The tightness of her latex maid outfit combined with the stiff metal cuffs holding her in place made Bolty feel completely enclosed, a feeling which she loved and turned her on immensely. The tight blindfold covering her eyes and stiff ball gag filling her mouth only intensified this feeling. She loved the tickling and massaging sensation that Shadow’s magical wires on her stiff, quivering wings. The tingling and stinging pleasure completely filling her plot became almost unbearable as Shadow turned the dial to its highest setting, “11”. Bolty was sent into her second orgasm of the night, her whole body shook and convulsed as waves of pleasure coursed through every millimeter of her body.

After another minute of fucking his captive, Shadow came, sending his seed deep inside the mare’s love. Bolty came again and blacked out as the hot sperm filled her dripping marehood and oozed out onto the floor. After basking in the glorious afterglow for a few moments, Shadow resurfaced and rejoined the world of the living. He undid Bolty’s restraints and turned off her device. He deposited it, along with her gag, blindfold, wing vibrators, and cuffs in Luna’s toy chest. Luna would be delighted to find some new toys there the next time she and her maid had fun together. Shadow then stripped the latex outfit off of the Pegasus and draped it over the chest. He waved his horn around the room, cleaning the arousal, cum and sweat from the himself, the two sleeping mares, and the floor. One more thing and then I can go visit Tia… Shadow thought as he levitated the two mares carefully into the Moon princess’s starry four-poster bed. It had been a fun night, but a certain white Alicorn watching Shadow’s antics by magic was just getting started.

***Author’s Note***

The story is still on hiatus but here is a short chapter I whipped up in my three day weekend!

Chapter 6: Uncertainty

Earlier that day, the six bearers of the Elements of Harmony met at Sweet Apple Acres to discuss the mysterious Alicorn whom Twilight had met the previous night. “He’s obviously a loony Twilight!” Pinkie Pie said as she bounced happily around the Apple family home. “But what he told me felt so true!” Twilight replied. “I don’t know why but I still believe that story, even after…” “Ah know Twi, but even crazy ponies can seem believable in certain situations.” Applejack said as she sat close to Twilight on the floor. “We should find him and ask him what his deal really is! Why does he want the Elements anyway?” Rainbow Dash asked from near the table where she hovered close to Rarity and Fluttershy. “Um… I don’t know Rainbow Dash, he could be dangerous…” the yellow Pegasus said softly. “Well Ah think we should do somethin’.” Applejack stated. “We could warn Celestia or…” she trailed off, thinking hard about what to do. “Who says he could even get to the elements?” Rarity piped up. “Like you said Twilight, He can’t possibly defeat BOTH princesses can he?” Twilight only groaned and hid her head in her hooves. Her friends were worried. Usually, Twilight had a plan that she explained completely and entirely, but after her run-in with the stranger, she had barely spoken a word.

“We should see Celestia! She’ll know what to do!” Pinkie said as she bounced over to the table. She rummaged around under it and pulled out a hoof full of small pieces of paper. “Train tickets to Canterlot!” she exclaimed. “I keep them all over Equestria in case of a Train-Ticket-to-Canterlot emergency!” “I agree.” Rarity said. She stood up and followed the bubbly pink pony to the door. “They’re right Twi. We really should go ta Canterlot.” Applejack crooned as she helped the softly sobbing Unicorn to her feet. “I- I guess…” she said as they all left the farm in the direction of the train station.

***Present Day***

“Your majesty!” A call from one of the castle guards awoke Luna from her peaceful slumber. What a night that had been! I DO need have Shadow stay with me more often… It’s a shame Bolty can’t live here forever. Her month of servitude is almost up and she has been just perfect. Oh well… better see what the guard wants… Luna left her bed where her maid was still sleeping and called, “Come in!” to the guard. The huge stone doors of her bedroom swung open to reveal none other than Shining Armor. “Your majesty, Twilight and her friends are here. They say that Twilight met a strange pony and is extremely upset.” He said with a small bow. “Very well.” The moon princess replied. Shining Armor led her down to the entrance hall, where Twilight and her friends stood with worried looks on their faces.

“Greetings my loyal subjects! I hope your journey was not bad?” Luna approached the ponies who gave way to allow Twilight to come forward. Her voice quavered as she said, “Princess? I- I believe a great evil has descended on Equestria. Well, either that or an insane purple Alicorn is trying to steal the Elements of Harmony.” Understanding dawned on Luna. Of course he went to them first. Stupid pony probably scared the daylights out of these poor mares. But what is this evil they speak of? I wonder what he told them. “Do not worry Twilight.” The midnight blue Alicorn said calmly. “Shadow is a good friend of Celestia’s and mine. You have no need to fear him. In fact, I will send for him to meet us.” Even at Luna’s reassurance, the other ponies still seemed uncertain and wary of this stranger. “I assure you, that Celestia and I both trust him and you should to. The elements are completely safe and require the magic of mine or my sister’s or Twilight’s to be accessed. Here! Guard! Go fetch us our guest.” A guard promptly scampered off up the stairs in search of Shadow. Suddenly, Twilight collapsed in a fresh wave of tears. “I just- I just- oooohhh!” as her friends rushed to Twilight’s aid, Luna descended the steps and sat in front of the sobbing Unicorn. “I just can’t stop thinking about what he told me and- *sob* what might happen! From what Shadow told me there just doesn’t seem to be a way we could help, and what if he can’t help in the way he says, or something bad happens to him, or…” “Sssh Twilight,” Luna comforted her distraught subject. “You are extremely stressed about this. I’m sure Shadow knows what he is doing. What evil could possibly destroy the world?” Luna touched her horn to Twilight’s and performed a small calming spell. A wave of soothing blue magic cascaded over the quivering Unicorn. Almost instantly, the purple pony stopped sobbing and faced Luna and her worried friends. “I don’t know princess. Shadow seemed pretty serious… you do know the story he told me?” Luna shook her head. Twilight recanted Shadow’s whole tale of Darkmoor, the origin of the Elements of Harmony, and what Shadow needed from them. After she finished, the Moon princess seemed lost in thought. After a few more moments of deep contemplation of what she had just heard, Luna concluded, “I’m sure when Tia and Shadow get down here they will know what to do. Now, where has that guard gotten himself to?” She looked around the room for a sign of him, but none offerd itself to her piercing gaze. “Wait a second. Ah hear somethin’.” Appkejack said, walking to the foot of the stairs. “Hoofsteps. Too heavy to be a guard’s.” Sure enough, softly at first, but steadily growing louder, the sound of swift, heavy hoofsteps could be heard throughout the room. But why, they all wondered, were they coming so fast?

***Author's Note***

God it took me so long to write this. A short chapter in preparation for an extremely long one next time...

Just a little more plot development before the last clop chapter for the foreseeable future. Enjoy!
