//-------------------------------------------------------// Ancient Binds -by Dark Vessel- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: The True Beginning //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 2: The True Beginning Dark Shard slowly arose after feeling heat on his face, the sunlight atop it causing his eyelids to appear red from within. He opened his eyes slowly, sighing and getting up, feeling incredibly tired. He was in no way a morning pony, preferring the long nights... He sat up in bed, yawning, before freezing, eyes widening. Of course, today was not a normal day. His eighteenth birthday... The day he became open for being claimed. The day that he simultaneously feared and revered. He shot up out of bed, and to his feet, mind in a flurry of activity. He quickly washed, and generally made himself presentable, before leaving his room and having a large breakfast, feeling that he was likely to need it. While there were a few steadfast rules on what a mare could do to their captive, they were quite lax, so he would possibly need all the food and drink he could get. He had also made sure to leave all windows totally closed. At this point, a mare could order him to leave the house to become hers, which... would not be for the best at this point. Finally seeing no other methods of procrastination, he sighed, looking to the door. His family would expect him to either be gone before they awake, or to go after seeing them... They probably would not care either way. What was coming up was his duty, and his mother would likely kick him out of the house, and not let him return until he has a spare moment away from some mares. He slowly approached the door, trembling in nervousness, taking in it's full architecture. His route, and path, and timing, would determine the next three months of his life. What would be the fetishes of his 'owner'? Would they be sadistic or kind?  Only time would tell... His horn glowed a deep blue as he shakily turned the key within the door, raising his hoof to open the door in it's entirety. He inhaled deeply, before exhaling, pushing the door open with closed eyes, before opening them within moments. He was greeted with the sights of his town, which gave off a very surreal vibe, the Mares in the town having shifted in a day from being friends and acquaintances to hunters. Predators. With him as their prey... He left the house, an automated spell locking the door behind him after a few seconds. He could not bear to face his family. Not today... It would just be too embarrassing. He was sure they would understand. And so, he turned right, and walked down the street, tense. Pretending not to notice the eyes of a few mares moving over him, before glazing over in lust. He exhaled shakily with a heavy blush, walking briskly down the street as he noticed a number stalk after him, each glancing to each other, acknowledging each other's presence. There was an unspoken law, with claiming. First one to catch or collar, enslaves. Dark Shard trembled and blushed harder at the sight of another stallion being paraded around nearby, like some exotic pet. The earth mare following the other stallion grinning, her eyes on him as a whip was held within her teeth. Ready to strike if he stepped out of line, a number of simple rope systems arousing the stallion and fully revealing his pride, causing a heavy blush. Dark Shard walked even faster, nearing a gallop as the Mares behind him rushed. One unicorn, two pegasi. Logic would argue that he would prefer the Unicorn, but for all he knew, she had some deeply sadistic desires. That was the silent horror for every stallion in this land; They could be dominated by anypony. And they would be helpless towards them. Suddenly, the unicorn broke rank, grinning and pouncing forwards as a collar flew from somewhere concealed on her person, straight for his throat. Meanwhile, the two Pegasi leapt after him from the air, as he clenched his teeth nervously and came to a stop, closing his eyes and waiting for the first one to catch him, and claim his life, and most importantly body, as their own for the next three months. He couldn't help but feel arousal, causing a full blush as his 'pride' was exposed for all to see, all sorts of perverse images entering his mind. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: Ensnared //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 3: Ensnared Dark Shard grunted as he was practically body-slammed by the Pegasus with Spitfire's colours, only just managing to stay on his hooves as his heartrate increased, blushing furiously. He knew that his fate had been sealed the moment that he felt his cutie mark slapped, glancing over to it, which revealed a very domineering and disheartening image in it's place. Each Stallion had an enchantment put on them at a young age. It was an enchantment that would not take effect until they aged, either... Upon a mare slapping their cutie mark with a particular intention, it would be covered up by an image very sexual in nature, with a few subtle changes to make it unique to every stallion. He blushed hard, trying to hold back the flood of emotions from the symbolism this provoked, inhaling shakily as the mark on his rump changed from it's natural form to an image mostly shared by the Equestrian Flag, however, the sun and moon between the two sisters was not there. Instead, he saw himself, his forelegs, horn and neck chained up and looking to be in the process of being 'pulled' diagonally downwards and left by Celestia atop him, which would eventually bring him upside-down, and the image of Luna beneath him, gripping a chain in her teeth. Following along the chain would reveal his 'length' being squeezed tightly by the chain, as Luna tugged it upwards. The 'him' within the 'cutie mark' had his eyes wide and jaw dropped, panting, a lot of sweat visible on his form. The Mare grinned, sparing not a second in forcing his face over to hers and ramming her tongue down his throat, going at it as if her life depended on it. Dark Shard blushed heavily, feeling a raising arousal as he struggled to pull his head back, only to stop as he felt a hoof move securely behind his head. He writhed gently, but did not struggle as he did before, feeling the Mare pull her head back after giving his lips one final lick, the two other mares that had jumped for him swearing too quietly to hear behind the stallion. The Mare grinned, whispering "Just call me Aurora~" before looking to the two others "Just because you lost, doesn't mean you can't enjoy the prize on the way home~" Dark Shard blushed and nodded at her name, before his eyes widened in shock and horror at her next sentence, and the predatory looks that accompanied it. He almost instantly moaned out as the Unicorn mare behind him grinned, horn glowing, followed by his length. It began to bob and twitch beneath him, causing him to arch his neck lightly with a heavy blush as it felt like thousands of hooves were feeling up his length, Aurora outfitting his neck with a thankfully loose collar and chain. Moments later, he moaned out as some vibrating force pushed into his length from the tip. He gasped and writhed for a few moments before Aurora stilled him with yet another kiss on the lips, exploring the roof of his mouth as the Unicorn continued her work, groping and massaging his balls magically, roughly and yet in all of the right places to not cause him pain. Aurora chuckled as she saw his limbs stretch, pulling her mouth back as the Pegasi mare landed atop his back, grinding her slit up and down the base of his spine as she took his horn into her mouth and suckled ravenously, licking it slowly and massaging the rest of his body with her hooves. He moaned into the air, back arching from the feeling of horn within his rectum as he felt mare juices coat his lower back, eyes closing before he was plunged into darkness, a wetness at his snout. Upon opening his eyes, he saw that his face was being pushed against by Aurora's rump, and her slit was directly against his mouth. His eyes widened and he moaned, trying to walk a little away, before feeling a horn ram into his ass and push him back to her entrance, the vibrations and the rubs on his length becoming more violent as he heard Aurora say: "Lick me out until we get home, my slut~ Or do you want me to tell them to stop being so gentle~?" Her words were accented by him uttering a moan, feeling an orgasm approaching as he decided to obey, for now. Ramming his tongue forwards into her, he writhed his tongue around and pushed it against her walls, not caring much for  the mass of her liquids against his tongue as he shivered and moaned loudly within her, just causing for her to feel vibrations within her and thus more pleasure. As a second thought, he began twisting his muzzle from left to right, as the unicorn mare behind him slowly forced him to walk forwards. Aurora's happy moans filled the air as she inhaled deeply, walking happily in the direction of her house. Dark Shard moaned loudly into her as he released his hot seed over the floor, attention on his length stopping for a moment as he felt his tail telekinetically gripped and used to mop up the liquids as he walked, causing him to cringe lightly. His horn still being sucked furiously, causing his eyes to close as he felt that approach it's own kind of release too. He rammed his tongue back and forth quickly, hearing Aurora's soft moans ahead of him as he kept it all up, feeling the illusion of a tongue licking up his length caused by the Unicorn behind him, causing him to moan loudly into the unicorn, becoming quickly aware of the Pegasus atop him making use of her wings and stroking up and down the rest of his body, even as she suckled on his horn like a mare about to die of dehydration. It all started to get the best of him, a furious blush spreading over his face as he moaned loudly, back arched and eyes closed while light tremors ran up his body, as a fluid leaked from his horn into the awaiting mouth of the Pegasus. A fluid known as 'magical essence'. It tended to taste nice and refreshing, and even gave Unicorns extra magical power for a short period of time if they drank it. At that moment, his attentions to Aurora were finally paying off, her inner walls spasming as he fully extends his tongue, feeling juices spurt over his muzzle and into his mouth, causing him to pre-emptively swallow them and lick all easily accessible liquids from near his lips before pulling his head back, looking at Aurora's smile and blushing furiously. She chuckled mockingly, as he became more and more aware of the liquids coating his entire muzzle, and the Mares practically covering him "That's enough~ He's mine from here on in~" Aurora said, causing Dark Shard to give a strange mix of a moan and sigh, arching his back as the Mare on his back climaxed, Aurora letting her ride it out as she suckled on his horn even harder than ever before, Dark Shard's eyes closing at this and his neck arcing back as he became increasingly aware of the juices oozing down his back to his stomach, the Unicorn behind him pulling out of her very... Penetrating position, horn surprisingly clean as she gave a smile, making the air around his length vibrate in a way that stimulated it a horrible amount. "Call us back anytime you want, I have a number of toys with his name on them~" the unicorn cooed, before walking away, undeniably aroused. The Pegasus grinned, flying off of him "Likewise, the good stallions are always hogged by those camps..." She says with an undertone of jealousy, before flying off back towards town. Dark Vessel watched them go for a moment, blushing furiously as he trembled from the things they had done to him, only to feel a squeeze on his throat as Aurora tugged on his collar using her leash, causing him to look over to her. He subconsciously closed his legs a little with a heavy blush as he met her gaze, which caused her to smile ominously and point up with a hoof. It took him only a second to gaze upon her home of clouds, a few cages hanging from chains beneath. Some shaped just like ponies, some cubes, one sphere... She had a vast array. He could just about make out a cart atop a cloud, a cage built into the cart, most likely meant for public displays. He blushed furiously, taking a small step backwards before feeling himself gripped tightly by her, as she laughed, carrying him up towards her house. His eyes widened, staring at her before she grinned and kissed him deeply once again, sliding her tongue over his own, causing a shudder as he closed his eyes lightly. He felt the wind in his fur as he felt her hooves exploring his whole body, her slit grinding against his length as she brought him higher, before moving forwards. He kept his eyes closed, feeling the light level diminish as they entered her home. Dark Shard's hind legs twitched as Aurora brought a hoof between his hind legs and began to slowly rub at his length, causing him to lightly moan into her mouth. After a few moments of this, he felt himself being pulled from her body. Upon opening his eyes, he saw that he was being lowered into a square cage above her bed. He panted and blushed heavily, fully erect as he saw the cage close atop him, eyes travelling to her... When, to his horror, the cage began to get covered by runes, and shrink. He looked fearfully up to her eyes, as she grinned. The cage began to conform perfectly to his shape, before becoming 'Solid' once again, effectiveliy preventing him from moving, There was a large hole from most of his flank all of the way up to his chest, though this only served as an opening. "A gift from a unicorn~" Aurora explained, laying down beneath him "A gift which I intend to make full use of~" She cooed with a smile, as he felt his body slowly lower against his will, getting into a position to easily mount her. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A Learning Experience (And no, not foalcon) //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter 1: A Learning Experience (And no, not foalcon) A unicorn colt with black fur and a black mane, with blue stripes going down it, smiled nervously. Sitting in a crowded classroom with a number of other foals. None of them particularly knew what they were about to learn, just that it was 'about the way things are' as the janitor had said rather loudly on their way in. "Right, let's see that everypony's here, this is important!" The teacher said in her usual tone which sounded a little angry. "Dark Shard?" She called, to which the colt raised his hoof. This went on for some time, the teacher looking down some notes "...Good, everypony is here, let's begin." The class quietened down, as the Teacher leaned back "So, today is a special lesson. And for you Colts, it will likely dictate most of your lives. So pay attention!" She snapped, glaring at each 'Cutie Mark Crusader-sized' foal in the room. "Now, for Generations, ponykind has used a particular law regarding Stallions. Commonly known, as the three month law. Upon reaching legal age, any Stallion can be approached, and then restrained, and ultimately enslaved, by a mare of legal age." The teacher explained, looking over the class. To her amusement, a few of the 'young lovers' were glancing to each other "You may ask, 'Why three months'? Well, this is a simple answer. To ensure that a Stallion is not permanently enslaved by a Mare, on the ninetieth day of their enslavement, they must be released, and allowed freedom. Now, a couple CAN remain permanently in a slave-master relationship. This is known as 'Claiming', or very rarely among the youth as 'Marriage'. This is one of the only things which a Stallion actually has the right of choice to." Surprisingly to modern eyes, not many of the Colts seemed that worried, and most of the Fillies were smirking "...Now then, there ARE some restrictions to the slavery. No permanent physical damage to the stallion is allowed. No psychological torture beyond reasonable limits. And no death." The teacher said, as of the few worried Colts, most calmed down. She noted with disgust that some still did look worried. Maybe they thought it was unfair... They'd just have to live with it. "Now, two final things before we move back to our regular lessons. One, just because somepony has been enslaved, does not mean that they are the sole property of their master. Oh no, the master of a stallion can decide many things, even get the stallion to... 'Work for' their friends." She said, as the truth sailed over the heads of the class "And, for the second... There is an exception to the three month limit." She said, watching the class gasp and move in surprise and, for some, fear. "...A princess can hold onto a stallion forever." She said, watching the class relax. Heh, yeah... Nopony here would ever be enslaved by a princess. The likelihood of that was minute. ...But if they were, everypony could agree, that would be a tremendous honour... Throughout it all, Dark Shard listened. The only fear he had gained, was lost at the mention of the three month limit. Smiling gently, even. 'I can't believe some of the colts around here are actually looking scared, or annoyed by this... Ha! Of course fillies deserve this. It's one of the first things we learn when we're young. For them not to have boosts over us... That'd just be wrong, maybe even evil.' He thought, smiling in amusement as he looked over the class. "Alright class, let's move onto multiplication." The teacher sighed, turning to the board.
