Who Rules?: The Wager

Who Rules?: The Wager, Chapter Four

by Nom deCheval

Twilight reached up and mindlessly rubbed her cheek. The flesh felt tender, more alive than the rest of her face, and she was trying to figure out exactly why.

It had been four days since...the event. Since Luna had bent over and ever-so-gently kissed her on the cheek. She wouldn’t have given it a second thought, if it wasn’t for the feeling that seemed to accompany the kiss. The emotion behind it.

Thinking back, Twilight could remember dozens of kisses that she had gotten from family and friends before, but none of them felt like...that. There was something clearly different about the kiss that Luna gave her.

Nothing else had happened that night. They went right back to going over the situation in Equestria--the politics, the economy, the rights of citizens--before moving on to Twilight’s favorite subject: magic. Princess Luna was very interested in helping the young unicorn learn more about transformation and illusionary magic, and even went so far as to go to Twilight’s room with her to see what books she had brought to Canterlot. Luna had noticed the guide to astral trans-location and had strongly encouraged the unicorn to pursue that avenue for the time being. And, while Twilight found that she could never keep herself to only one pursuit, she was very good at focusing on single matters from time to time.

Like now, for instance.

“Twilight Sparkle, I don’t believe that you have been paying any attention to what I’ve been asking you.” Princess Celestia said with just a hint of aggravation beneath her typically calm and steady voice.

“What? OH! Oh, I’m...I’m sorry, Your Majesty.” Twilight bowed, almost from reflex, even though etiquette didn’t dictate it necessary at the moment. “I was just thinking about something Princess Luna and I...discussed the other night.”

“And what was that?” The Sun Goddess asked.

“Um...magic.”

“Oh, really? She didn’t mention anything about that to me. What magic were you discussing?”

“We were going over my volume on astral trans-location. She thought it was a good idea for me to study it.”

Celestia turned her head slightly to her left, keeping her eyes on Twilight. “I see. That’s not an area of expertise for her, but...she is quite skilled. I trust you to listen to her.”

“Of course, ma’am.”

“And what about what I was asking?”

“Oh, I, um...that is...” Twilight stammered.

“You didn’t hear me at all, did you?”

“...no, ma’am.”

Celestia took a deep breath and smiled, gathering herself. “I was asking how you felt about your physical training.”

“Oh! Well, I guess it’s going fine. But it’s only been four days, and other than being sore most of the time, I can’t really tell any difference.” Twilight answered.

“Oh ho ho ho. You aren’t going to change that quickly, Twilight. It will take some time before you notice anything. I was more curious how you FELT about the regiment. Is it too difficult? Too easy? I am trying to learn from this experience, you know.”

“Well, I guess it’s about right for me, but if I was one of the guards who is already in good shape, it would be kinda easy, I think.”

Celestia simply nodded, staring at her prized student.

“And what do you think of the experience as a whole so far? Knowing that it has been not quite an entire week yet?”

“That’s...a good question.” Twilight’s mind raced through everything that had happened so far. The arrival. The new changes to the way that she had to address the Princess. The armor. The night outside the door. The kiss.

Her hoof went to her cheek again, mindlessly rubbing it.

“Is there something wrong with your cheek?” Celestia asked. “That’s twice you’ve rubbed it in the past few minutes. In fact, I seem to recall you doing it rather frequently the past few days. Are you all right?”

“Huh? Oh, um, yes. Yes, I’m doing just great! Couldn’t be better! Good old Twilight! That’s me!”

The alicorn half closed her eyes in disappointment as she stared at the unicorn. “I’ve known you far too long for you to lie to me, Twilight. What is bothering you?”

Twilight’s mouth opened, but words didn’t come out. Princess Celestia was always her most trusted confidant. The one pony in all of Equestria that she trusted above all others--and that was the problem. She didn’t want to do or say anything to lose that trust. She couldn’t tell her that her anything that she had seen or experienced with Luna that might put her trust--and her friendship--in jeopardy.

“I think I’m just tired. This is all very new.” It was the worst lie. There was no way that The Princess wouldn’t see through it. “I’m sorry, ma’am.”

Celestia slowly nodded.

“Then perhaps you should go rest.” The Sun Goddess said somewhat coldly. “It is possible that we’ve been pushing you too hard.”

Twilight started to argue, but the alicorn continued.

“But, I want you to meet up with my sister and I both this evening. We need to go over your assignment here together.”

“No, ma’am! I can stay!” Twilight’s dread of disappointing her mentor suddenly overthrew any other fear. “I’m not that tired. I promise that I will be totally attentive. I won’t miss a single thing anymore, and...”

“Twilight!” Celestia cut her off. “That was not a suggestion. Go and rest. And then meet Luna and myself in the throne room right after sunset. Understood?”

The young unicorn swallowed in worry. “Yes, ma’am.” She said weakly, and then turned to leave, hanging her head.

“Twilight?” The Princess said softly. The aforementioned unicorn spun around to look at her teacher, hoping she had changed her mind. “You are forgetting something.”

“Huh?” The purple mare pondered for a moment, and then realized the matter at hoof. “Oh. Right.”

Twilight turned her body and bowed deeply to Princess Celestia, and then resumed her journey out of the room. As she walked, her face started to twist into one of anger or frustration, she couldn’t be sure which.

“I think I’m starting to hate bowing so much.” She mumbled on the way to her quarters.

* * * * *

Walking around the Ponyville Library, Trixie was scouring the stacks of books, obviously looking for something specific. She wasn’t currently wearing her trademark cape and hat, as there was no need for showponyship at the moment. Instead, she just wore a face of concentration.

“Spike?” She said loudly. “Spike, are you there?”

There was no answer.

“Spike? Can you hear me? I need your help.”

“Hold your bridle a second. Geez.” The cranky dragon said as he walked up from what he currently considered ‘his’ basement. “What do you want?”

“There is supposed to be a volume on astral trans-location somewhere in this library. Do you know where it is?”

“Yeah, I remember that one.” He said. “It’s not here.”

The blue unicorn turned to look at the small dragon. “It isn’t? Then how do you know about it?”

“Simple. That’s one of the books that Twilight packed up when she left for Canterlot before you got here.”

“Roadapples!” Trixie said under her breath. “Well, there is little I can do about that, is there?”

“Why did you need that book?” Spike asked.

“Just something I was wanted to read about. But then, there are many books here for Trixie to read.” She smiled.

“Yeah...I suppose so.” The dragon said distrustfully.

“You do realize that you can stop thinking that Trixie is going to steal everything here, right?”

“That’s what you’re counting on!” He retorted. “As soon as I let my guard down, you’re gonna bolt out of here with all of Twilight’s stuff!”

“And just WHY would I want any of HER things?”

“You wanted her book!” The young dragon moved up to confront the pony.

“That was...different.”

“Uh-huh, sure it was. You don’t ask for anything that you don’t want for yourself.”

Trixie’s eyes shot wide.

“How dare you!” She said. “Trixie has been nothing but kind since she arrived in this backwater, waste-filled excuse for a town!”

“See! It’s stuff like that. You’re just pretending to be nice, but I can see through you!”

“Pretending to be nice?”

“Yeah! With Rarity, most of all. For some reason she likes you, and I don’t know what kind of magic whammy you put on her, but...but...”

The youngster suddenly slumped to the ground, limp.

“SPIKE!” Trixie moved down to his body, searching for signs of life. “Are you all right? Do you need a doctor? What can...”

Trixie stopped herself when she heard a deep snore suddenly escape the purple and green juvenile.

“Spike?” She asked, confused.

“He’s all right, Trixie.” A calm voice said from the doorway. “Just sleeping.”

The unicorn spun around, already knowing who was there from the voice, but still surprised to see the imposing figure of a regal white alicorn standing inside the library.

“I put him to sleep so we could talk for a few minutes. That, and I was afraid that he might offer to make me tea while I was visiting.”

“Princess Celestia? What are you doing here?”

“I have come to talk with you about your assignment, and the progress you are making.” The Princess moved into the library and sat down on one of the larger rugs. “How are things going?”

The unicorn moved over near the seated Goddess. “Fine. Trixie has been adjusting to the new place. And I have even made a couple of friends, as you suggested. But the book you sent me a message about is missing, Princess.”

Celestia nodded, her face pensive.

“Then, all that remains is talking about you and Twilight Sparkle...”

* * * * *

The cover of the book closed with a soft thud. Twilight had been studying the volume since Luna suggested she delve into it. She was already planning on reading it, but the Princess’ suggestion just drove her deeper into the pages.

It was starting to make perfect sense to her now. It was like her ability to teleport, only something that left the body behind and sent the spirit to another location. In theory, it allowed for the spirit to either float for a short time on its own, or to locate itself inside another host for a longer period. Sort of hitchhiking inside another pony’s body, unseen and unknown to them.

Like a ghost or something.

The unicorn moved to the center of her room and sat down gently.

“Okay, Twilight, you can do this. Just take it one step at a time and go easy.”

Closing her eyes, Twilight took a deep breath and let it out slowly, and then repeated that feat a second time, relaxing her body as much as she could. She began to concentrate, her horn glowing softly at first, but increasing as she reached out with her magic. Finally, with a bright flash, the lavender mare moved, arriving several feet away from where she was originally sitting. She opened one eye, noticing her new location, and then opened them both.

“Well, that was disappointing. I guess I haven’t quite figure it out as well as...”

Turning back towards where the book was resting, Twilight saw something else she didn’t expect to see: herself. Her body was still sitting exactly where she was only a moment ago, before she thought she teleported.

She looked down at her own body. It looked like herself, but there were now two of her. Her eyes grew huge and she smiled. “I...I did it! I’m here and I’m there. I’m in two places. This is so great! I need to take some notes.”

Quickly, she moved to her desk, using her magic to raise a pen and adjust some paper. “Let’s see. Body appears to be resting--almost as though I was asleep. Breathing appears normal. Interesting. My horn is glowing on my real body as I use magic in this form. My real body doesn’t move when I move now, so it seems that is only a magical reaction. That makes sense, though, I suppose. This ‘body’ is only a magical construct.”

She trotted up to herself, reaching out to touch herself for the first time--from outside her body at least. As soon as her hoof grazed her own flesh, she felt herself get sucked right back inside. She blinked her eyes open in shock, slightly disoriented from the sudden sensation as she returned to her own body and its physical being.

“O...okay. That was a bit jarring.” The pen and paper that she was holding magically were lying on the ground, her connection to them apparently lost when she merged with herself. She levitated them up and began to take more notes. “Contact seems to break the spell. Wait, change that to contact with your own body. The book says that I would be able to pass through solid objects and be invisible to others. And I...”

The color of the sky outside caught Twilight’s attention.

“What? That can’t be right.” She quickly moved up to the timepiece on her desk and looked at it. It was over an hour past when she last remembered seeing it. “But I just checked that. How much time did I lose when I got sucked back into my body?”

The time situation suddenly dawned on her. “Oh no! The Princesses! They are probably wondering where I am! I’ve got to go!”

She levitated her armor to her and began to put in on as she rushed out of her chambers and down the hallway. She moved quickly, trying to come up with a reason why she was running so late, but what could she say? That time literally got away from her? That somehow when she cast that spell she lost an hour of her own personal time?

Slowing up her tempo, she suddenly realized that was exactly what she should say. The Princesses were there to help her with her studies. And Princess Luna was encouraging her to use that exact magic, so she might know something about it.

And something else Twilight suddenly realized: she didn’t know if she lost the hour when she cast the spell or when she went back to her body. Either way, it took a lot of time, but it would be important to know for the future. Maybe the Princesses would know the answer. She would ask them directly about it when she saw them.

Which she was about to do. If it wasn’t for the somewhat loud voices coming from the throne room, she might already have done so, but her ears picked up something that gave her pause. Celestia and Luna were waiting inside, and they were talking--or was that arguing--about...her. She stepped closer to the corner of the doorway.

“...and I am telling you it is becoming too dangerous, Luna.” Celestia’s voice stated. “Twilight means too much to me for her to get hurt. I will not let it happen.”

“I think that you are over reacting, Tia. You need to have more faith in her.” Luna responded.

“I do have faith in her. I have faith in her curiosity and her persistence above everything else. She doesn’t give up or give in. It’s one of the traits that I most admire in her.”

The unicorn’s heart grew when she heard Princess Celestia say the word admire in relation to her.

“But that was one of the things that prompted this. The fact that you thought she wasn’t going to give up. And you know as well as I do that there is nothing dangerous about it.” Luna said, earnestly.

“That was before you started encouraging her on the side. What else have you been doing without my knowledge?” Celestia asked.

“Again with the accusations, sister?” Luna said sternly. “I have already told you that I have done nothing against the rules.”

Rules? Twilight shook her head. What rules? What were they talking about?

“But you didn’t tell me about the magical teaching. Were you going to?”

“I didn’t think that I needed to. Twilight might be your prize student, but that doesn’t mean I cannot teach her things as well.”

“True. And I think you would be a wonderful teacher, Luna, but astral trans-location? That might be dangerous for her.”

A scoffing sound came from Luna. “You’re overly protective, Tia. She’s very capable. ALMOST as capable as my student.” Luna finished in a teasing tone.

There was a brief pause.

“This isn’t the time for taunts, sister. Trixie is very capable, I know. That’s what prompted this, remember. But the longer this goes, the more I fear that Twilight might do something...rash.”

Twilight shook her head. None of this made any sense. What were they talking about? What did Trixie have to do with this?

“I do understand your fear, Tia. I like Twilight, too. She’s very...pleasant. In many ways.”

“I think we need to call it off, Luna. End it now.”

“So you admit defeat?” The darker alicorn stated.

Another pause, and Twilight moved closer to the corner, trying to hear sound from the doorway more effectively.

“No. No, I do not. I still have faith in Twilight. I believe in her now as much as I always have.”

“Then we let this go on?”

“For the time being.” Celestia said. “But if I feel that she--or Trixie--is going too far, I will call this off. Do you hear me, Luna? I do have my limits.”

“Fair enough.” Luna answered. “I agree.”

Twilight took a few steps backwards. Defeat? What defeat? And how could she go too far? Too far with what? And what exactly was going on that they were talking about? What was happening around here?

As quietly as she could, the lavender mare walked away from the door, setting herself up to arrive more properly. The further she stepped away from the door, the more the words the of two Princesses swirled around in her head. None of it made sense--at least, not yet. But she was determined to find out exactly what was going on. She was going to solve this mystery.

After moving far enough away that she was satisfied that any approach now would seem natural, Twilight once again headed towards the throne room, this time not even slowing down near the door.

“Your Majesty. Your Royal Highness. I’m here as requested.” Twilight bowed as she entered, keeping her eyes on the two alicorns.

* * * * *

The door to the Carousel Boutique opened, ringing a bell that was attached to alert the ponies inside. A white cat lying on a table near the center of the room shifted one eye open for a moment to make sure it wasn’t anypony dangerous, and then went right back to sleep. From her work table, Rarity turned to see who was there.

“Trixie, darling!” She stepped away from her project, and walked up to the mare who had just entered. When they reached each other, they paused long enough to share a passionate kiss.

“I didn’t know you were coming by tonight.” The white unicorn said, breaking away from the other mare. “I must look a frightful mess. I haven’t had a chance to see to my own grooming in well over an hour.”

“You look fine, Rarity. Lovely, in fact.” The azure mare smiled. “But Trixie was wondering if you had a few minutes to...talk.”

A small lump formed in the white unicorn’s throat. “Talk? Why...yes, of course. I have plenty of time.”

“No, no. It’s nothing like that.” Trixie sensed the other mare’s fear that this was going to be a break-up talk. “I want some advice. And Trixie has no pony else to turn to.”

“Oh, well then by all means, come. Let us sit and talk. I can brew up some tea if you would like.”

“Not right now.” The blue unicorn moved to sit on the divan that was on one end of the room, waiting for Rarity to move and sit beside her. Once they were both sitting, she spoke again. “Have you ever had a situation where you weren’t exactly sure what to do?”

“Well, I think that we all have at one point or another felt that way, darling. It’s just a part of life.” Rarity didn’t pry with a question, waiting for Trixie to control the conversation.

“Yes, true. But this is different. Trixie isn’t sure what to do about a very large thing. Most of the time when you aren’t sure what to do it is something small. Something that makes no difference in your life or somepony else’s. And...I’m not sure what to do. And Trixie is better than anypony at making decisions.”

Rarity took a deep breath and placed her hoof gently on that of the other mare’s.

“Trixie, are you all right? Is there something you want to tell me?” The white mare asked.

“Not...yet. But Trixie thinks maybe soon, yes.” The blue unicorn’s eyes locked with Rarity’s. “For now, I just want to know what you would do if you were worried that what you knew you had to do might hurt somepony...close to you.”

“That depends. Who is the pony? And how would they be hurt? Whatever the case, know that I will be there to help you through it.”

There was no answer. Only two ponies staring at each other for a lingering moment.

“Trixie has always deserved the best.” The blue unicorn finally broke the silence. “It’s good to know that I’ve found that.”

“You’re flattering me. Not that it’s a bad thing, mind you, but I still think that you are probably avoiding the subject.”

“No. You were always the subject. I just hope you remember what you said when the time comes.”

Rarity lifted the blue pony’s hoof off the couch. “You’re scaring me a little, Trixie. What is wrong?”

“Nothing that The Great and Powerful Trixie cannot handle. Remember who you are talking to.” She smiled.

The white unicorn sat there shaking her head. “You are not an easy mare to understand, darling. You come to me to talk and then won’t tell me what it is you want to talk about.”

“That’s not true. I came here to resolve something by talking to you. Trixie did exactly that. There is no doubt in me any longer.”

“I was actually a little surprised that you claimed to have doubt at any point.” Rarity answered.

“The only doubt I had was in how much...” She stopped herself. “Trixie doesn’t have doubts. You are right.”

Slumping back into the divan, the white unicorn’s face looked something between confused and amused. “I do believe that I might have gone completely insane, letting myself become involved with somepony like you.”

“Why? You get to spend time with The Great and Powerful Trixie. There are hundreds of ponies that would literally die of envy right now.”

“I’m sure.” Rarity answered, amused. “And there are just as many that would be put into a coma by your egotistical...charm.”

Smiling, the azure unicorn changed the subject. “I think we should call your friend Pinkamena over for tonight. Make it a...special...night.”

“I thought that was my decision to make.” The white mare responded.

“It is. Trixie is just...suggesting.”

“Well...” Rarity mused, a sly grin on her face. “I suppose we can do that.”

“Good. I don’t want you to be alone tonight.”

“Alone? You aren’t going to be here?” The white unicorn’s tone turned more serious.

“Not the whole night. Trixie has to visit somepony a little later.”

“But...you will be back, right?”

“Of course. Who could possibly keep Trixie away from you?”

Rarity smiled. “No pony, darling. I sincerely hope the answer is no pony.”

* * * * *

“Go wait in your room, Twilight.” The lavender unicorn paced back and forth. “I’ll call for you when I need you, Twilight.” The floor was well on its way to having grooves worn into it. “We need to discuss this further, Twilight.”

With a huff, the mare sat down in frustration.

“I can’t believe they rushed me out of there like that. A quick explanation that Princess Celestia thought that maybe I was being pushed too hard and that I needed to take some more time off, and then whoosh! Right out the door.”

She snorted. “At least Princess Luna was on my side. She was arguing that I should be allowed to set my own hours and ease into this assignment. She was...nice.” Her hoof traveled up to her cheek, gently touching it as she thought of the midnight mare.

She stopped herself, and then stamped her hoof in annoyance.

“I wonder what this has to do with what I overheard? With...whatever that was all about. I just don’t know what’s gotten into The Princess lately. This isn’t like her to keep secrets from me. Especially secrets ABOUT me from me.”

She stood dramatically, resolute in her stance.

“But that’s not gonna keep me down. Nope! Twilight Sparkle is gonna get to the bottom of this and save the day!” The mare’s head dipped down right after saying those words. “Somehow...”

She raised her head and sighed deeply. Casually, her eyes shifted and landed on her nearby desk--and the volume resting on it. She walked up to it, looking down at the carefully bound leather book. Astral trans-location.

“I...could watch them. In secret.” She mused. “But...that would be like spying, wouldn’t it? It would be like I didn’t trust them.”

Her eyes narrowed.

“Then again, they don’t trust me, do they? They’ve been plotting something about me in private, and I think that I should know more about it.”

She looked at the book, thought for a moment, and swallowed hard.

“I just hope I don’t get caught.”

The lavender unicorn walked to the center of her room and tried to relax. She sat down gently, clearing her mind. Taking in a deep breath, she slowly let it out. The purple mare concentrated and let her magic begin to flow through her. She closed her eyes, taking another deep breath, and channeled her power into a single moment. A flash of light indicated the spell taking effect, and Twilight’s felt herself lurch forward.

She slowly opened her eyes. Turning around, she saw herself sitting calmly. Her real self. Her body was resting as though in a trance, just like before.

“Okay, so, if the book is right, I should be able to walk through walls and be invisible to others. I guess I should check that out.”

A nearby chair seemed like a good place to test the theory. Twilight raised a hoof, and slowly lowered it towards the back of the chair. It passed through it as though it wasn’t even there. The unicorn’s eyes bulged.

“That’s amazing!” She raised the hoof up and did it again, moving it through the top of the chair and then through the seat itself. “It’s just like the book said.”

She thought for a second, and looked at the floor. “But why am I not falling through the floor?” She shrugged. “Oh well, I don’t have time to worry about that. I don’t know how long this spell will last, so...I better get going.”

Twilight walked up to the door to her room, and, without thinking about it, used her magic to open the door as she approached. It wasn’t until she passed through that she realized what she had done. “Oh. Guess I better watch that. Wouldn’t want to make ponies wonder what was going on. Still, walking through a door is going to be a bit odd.”

She closed the door and turned around to look at it. “But this is probably the best place to give it a try.”

Taking a deep breath, she winched her face up tight and walked straight at the door. She passed through as though nothing was there at all. “Wow. Okay, that wasn’t bad at all.” She looked down. “But, seriously, why am I not falling through the floor right now?”

With a shake of her head, she moved off towards the last place she saw the two Princesses: the throne room. She walked down the stairs, and saw two of the guards standing at the base of the stairs, just like they always were.

“First test, I guess.” Holding her head up high, Twilight stepped lively past the two guards.

“Hey guys! How’s the night going?” The stallions stood there, unmoving. “Uh, guys? Hello? HELLO?!”

Nothing. Not a single response.

“Whew. Okay, so I am invisible and inaudible. That’s good.” She turned and headed a little more quickly towards her destination. It was a short trot, and she found herself at the door--the closed door.

She swallowed hard, thinking of the last closed door that separated her from The Princesses. A shiver ran through her body, but she wasn’t sure if it was nervous excitement or tension. Slowly, she stepped forward and passed through the portal and into the throne room.

“...tongue to apologize properly.” Luna moaned.

Twilight froze. Her eyes bulged. Sitting on the throne of Equestria was Princess Luna, resting fully reclined on the back of the huge chair. The Night Goddess’ rear legs were splayed wide, and between them was the head of Princess Celestia. Lewd slurping and lapping sounds could be heard all the way over to where the lavender unicorn stood--even over the sounds of Princess Luna.

She couldn’t move. At once, Twilight was terrified and ready to run back to her room, and at the same time completely enthralled and wanting to see more. Her heart raced, trying to escape the unicorn’s chest, as her mouth fell slightly open.

“The one benefit of you being so rude in front of our guests, slave, is that we get to see you use that same mouth in a much, much better way.” Luna said, huskily.

“Thank you, Mistress.” Celestia quickly mumbled from between her sister’s legs.

“We don’t want to hear your tongue, we want to feel it!” Luna spat down at the solar mare, rising up from the throne slightly as she did. “Lick. Don’t talk.”

From her vantage point, Twilight couldn’t see any details as to what was happening. Without really thinking, she stepped forward towards the incestuous sisters. With every hoof-fall the sounds were becoming more clear and distinct.

“You have a talented tongue, dear sister. We may yet forgive you.” Luna said above the moans and the salacious sounds coming from between her legs.

The first step onto the long steps to the throne itself gave the purple mare her first glimpse of Celestia’s face--a glimpse, really. With every continued tread, more and more came into view.

“Stick your tongue in our cunt, slave. We want to feel it fucking us.” Luna growled.

Twilight stood and watched. She was standing right beside the throne, seeing her mentor--The Sun Goddess, Princess Celestia--with her muzzle completely buried into the sex of her own sister. The elder mare would glance up at Luna, but not for long, either afraid to hold the gaze or more interested in concentrating on the task in front of her. The unicorn watched as Celestia’s pink tongue slid in and out of Luna’s marehood.

“Lap at it. Lick our cunt like it is your only means of sustenance.” Luna snarled.

Watching the divine alicorn doing that very thing was beginning to have a profound effect on the lavender mare. Celestia was obediently servicing her sister’s sex, diving deeper and deeper between her fleshy folds in an attempt to please her like she had never done before.

Twilight swallowed, her passion caught in her throat, but felt all the way down to her loins. Even though she was intangible at the moment, she would swear that her own sex was becoming incredibly damp right now.

“Do you want to taste us, slave? Do you want our juice to fill you up? Are we truly your livelihood for existence?”

“You are, Mistress.” Celestia paused for a moment, and then licked quickly, and then spoke once more. “There is nothing that satisfies me like the taste of your pleasure.”

“Well said, slave.” The dark alicorn’s forehoof came down to gently stroke her pale counterpart’s mane. Then, suddenly, she grabbed the flowing magical hair forcefully and thrust Celestia’s muzzle deep into her sex. “But you said too much! You’ve been speaking far too much today!”

The white alicorn made a slight whimpering sound, but it sounded to Twilight like it was more of pleasure than anything else. Mindlessly, the lavender mare licked her lips and finally moved her eyes away from Celestia’s muzzle and onto the face of Princess Luna.

The Night Goddess was awash in desire. Her eyes burned with lust and wanton flame. She was wearing a shining black armor--the same as a few night’s back--that strongly resembled the same one she wore as Night Mare Moon. Her beautiful ethereal mane moved like the night across her head and neck. Her lips were pulled back, showing her teeth in a primal display. She was a vision of rapture.

“So pretty...” Twilight murmured.

Gently, Twilight raised her forehoof up towards the midnight mare, and carefully went to touch the mane that swirled around her head. As soon as her hoof glanced against it, Twilight disappeared.

Darkness overwhelmed the young unicorn and she almost fell into a panic, but it only took a moment--even though it seemed like a long moment--for her vision to start to return.

She quickly tried to gather her surroundings. The perspective seemed odd. She tried to turn her head, but she couldn’t. It wasn’t obeying her--but it was moving. As her vision came into focus she saw the image of Princess Celestia burying her muzzle between Luna’s haunches once more. Only this time, the perspective was as though they were her own.

The realization suddenly struck her: she was inside Princess Luna’s body.

The book had said that such things were possible, but she didn’t know how to make it happen. It was obviously much easier than she thought.

“Keep this up, slave, and you’ll be fed well in a few moments.” Luna snarled. And Twilight heard it like a voice coming from herself.

The purple unicorn wanted to analyze the situation--take notes--but as her spirit adjusted to riding in its new host, other sensations quickly accompanied it.

She began to feel Celestia’s tongue.

Luna’s scrutiny was focused on her sister, giving Twilight the ultimate view of what was happening. She watched as the Sun Goddess devoured the pink flesh between dark blue haunches--and felt it in her own. The tongue moved into the depths of her marehood, slid out and up along the slit, coming to visit her hardened clitoris as it flicked back and forth, driving electric passion with every motion. And then it dove back into the depths of her--or rather, Luna’s--waiting sex.

“We want to fuck your face, slave. Hold out your tongue! Hold it out as far as you can!” Luna commanded.

Twilight watched as the white mare did as she was told, extending her tongue out as far as she could, leaving her mouth open while she did. Moving her grip to the sides of her sister’s head, Luna began to drive her cunt down onto the awaiting tongue. The purple unicorn felt it penetrate her, driving her own lust to unimagined heights.

Each thrust of her haunches down was another jolt of bliss that echoed through her body. The lavender unicorn had no conscious thought left, giving in to pure animalistic lust as Luna upped the tempo of her gyrations.

“Get ready, slave. We want you to drink every drop of cum that we spray down your throat, understood?” Luna growled.

There was, of course, no answer from Celestia, but Twilight could see in The Princess’ eyes not only accordance, but a deep and desperate longing for it to happen. The purple mare’s breathing was rough and ragged, if indeed she was breathing at all. Perhaps it was Luna whose respiration was so desperate. The unicorn didn’t know, or really care at the moment. All she wanted was for Celestia to finish her task. She wanted to cum.

Yanking Celestia’s face completely into her marehood, Luna let out a cry of ecstasy, bucking against her sister’s face.

“Yes! YES! Fuck, yes! Drink my cum, bitch! Drink it all!” She gnashed her teeth as she moaned out the words.

Whether it was from Celestia’s actions, Luna’s reactions, or a combination of the two, Twilight felt herself go over the edge. An orgasm more intense than any that she had ever experienced rushed over her, causing first a gasp and then an exclamation of her own.

“Sweet Goddess Celestia! Oh, please don’t stop!” Twilight said aloud.

Luna suddenly stopped thrusting against her sister’s face, instead wrapping her legs around the white mare’s head and holding it in place. Twilight saw the view as Luna’s head first rolled back and then swept around in a wide circle, as Celestia’s tongue continued to work its magic against her still pulsing cunt.

Slowly, Luna’s focus came back to her sister, and Twilight saw Luna’s legs gently release their hold on the alicorn’s head, and saw Celestia cautiously pull her head away, leaving tender kisses and licks along the trail as she receded.

Finally, with her head fully away from Luna’s body, the Sun Goddess carefully lifted her gaze to look up directly at her sister. Twilight gasped for the second time in only a few moments as their eyes met.

“That was...a good beginning, slave.” Luna said, casually closing her legs as the white mare stepped back. With careful grace, the midnight alicorn straightened herself on the throne. “Still, we think that you have more to do before we show clemency tonight.”

The dark mare stood, stepping down from the regal seat.

“Take your throne, ruler of Equestria. It only seems appropriate that you sit there.”

Celestia looked confused, but carefully moved past her sister to the royal throne. She sat on it warily, as though expecting punishment for doing what she was told.

“Sit. Relax. This is YOUR throne, is it not, Celestia?” Luna asked.

“I...share the throne with you, Mistress.” The Sun Goddess answered.

“Don’t be so humble. We both know that it is your throne. We are but a humble shadow in your light.”

“That’s not true!” Celestia protested. “You are...”

“Don’t argue with us, slave.” Luna cut her off. “Though you seemed to be very keen on that earlier. Arguing with us in front of your favorite student. Countering our words with your own right in front of dear Twilight Sparkle.”

The lavender unicorn felt her heart jump at the mention of her name in these conditions.

“We were not entertained by that, slave. Not at all.”

“I was only...” Celestia began, but was cut off immediately.

“DO NOT TALK! You will answer our questions and nothing else, understood?”

“...yes Mistress.” The white alicorn said meekly.

“Good.” Luna walked back and forth for a moment, staring at the regal mare on the throne. Unable to meet her sister’s gaze, The Sun Goddess kept her focus instead on the ground.

“Take off your shoes. We want your forehooves naked.” Luna said.

Celestia raised her eyes up, looking at The Night Goddess for a moment in confusion.

“Take. Off. Your shoes. We want your hooves bare. Is that so hard to understand?”

“No, Mistress.” The Sun Goddess did as she was told, removing the golden shoes that decorated her forehooves, and magically moving them to rest beside her bejeweled crown lying nearby.

“Excellent.” Luna said, and Twilight swore that she could feel the mare smile. “Now, as we said, we were not entertained by your...words...earlier, so, we want you to entertain us now. With your actions.”

The white alicorn paused for a moment before speaking. “I...don’t understand, Mistress.”

“Oh, well, let us be more direct, then. We want you to clop, sister. We want to see you bring yourself to orgasm for our entertainment.”

Twilight felt a shock run through her, just as much as she saw Celestia’s body stiffen for a moment.

“And we think it will be extra entertaining to watch you do it on your own royal seat...Your Majesty.” Luna said, mockingly. “We want you to cum all over the throne.”

“You want me to...” The alabaster alicorn couldn’t finish the sentence.

“Yes, sister. We want to see you clop. To masturbate. To pleasure yourself in front of our eyes.” The darker sister stated. “And don’t pretend it’s something you’ve never done before. A thousand years with no true lover you told me. How else did you satisfy your urges?”

Celestia lowered her head, a blush coloring her cheeks. Finally, after a moment, her horn began to glow.

“Ah! No.” Luna interrupted. “No magic. Use your hooves and only your hooves.”

“But I haven’t done that in ages.” The pale mare feebly protested.

“Then you are out of practice.” Twilight could feel the midnight colored brow around her furrow. “Do it. Now.”

A long pause filled the room, and then The Sun Goddess began to move her forehooves down her body towards her haunches.

“Oh my.” Twilight said softly. “She’s going to do it.”

“Open your legs, slave. We aren’t getting the view we want.” Luna commanded.

Immediately, Celestia parted her rear legs, providing a clear view to her glistening marehood. Twilight didn’t breathe. She didn’t think. She simply watched as the pristine hooves of the most powerful pony in the world moved down to her own groin and began to gently rub the outside of her swollen sex.

The eyes of the white alicorn gently closed as her right hoof began to move in small circles over musky entrance. She didn’t move past the outer mound, simply moving her hoof steadily and lightly, as the juices inside began to seep outwards onto her coat.

“Excellent, slave. Now...spread your lips. We want to see the pink of your royal cunt.” The Night Goddess stated.

Celestia’s eyes flickered, opening for a moment, before closing again. She moved both of her hooves down and carefully plied apart her outer lips, revealing a drenched cleft of flesh with an firmly engorged clitoris at the peak.

“Lovely.” Twilight felt the dark mare smile. The unicorn found her arousal rising quickly once more. “Now, play with that clit. It seems so desperate for attention.”

With a degree of anxiousness, the white alicorn moved her hoof down and kept it pressed between her lower lips, moving the hoof back and forth over her sensitive bud. A moan of pleasure escaped from Celestia.

“You like this, then? Good. We are starting to become entertained ourselves. But...we have so much more planned. Continue.” Luna ordered.

And The Sun Goddess did. With rising intensity, she continued to massage her clit, varying between a back and forth motion and small circles. Twilight saw Celestia’s breathing becoming quicker and more labored--just as she felt her own doing the same.

“Now,” the dark alicorn said. “move your other hoof to your tailhole.”

Celesita shot a look directly at her sister in shock. It was clear that she wanted to say something, but she hesitated. Whether it was from overwhelming passion or because she was told not to speak, Twilight wasn’t sure.

“You heard me, slave. Play with your ass.”

Keeping her eyes open this time, the white mare slowly moved her left hoof down past her dripping sex to her own tailhole. It was covered in the slippery juices running out of her pussy. Using those juices as lubricant, the mare began to massage her asshole, again using a circular motion to prod the tender region.

Twilight watched as Celestia’s mouth fell open in lust from her own actions.

“You have such a tender ass, sister. Touching it is so erotic. So forbidden. It drives your hidden libido. Still, we do not want to abuse it. At least, not tonight. But, your other hole is still fair game, isn’t it?”

The white mare looked at her sister. “Yes...Mistress.” She barely was able to speak.

The Night Goddess took two steps closer to her prone servant. Twilight could feel the intensity of the look that went from Luna to Celestia.

“Put your hoof into your cunt, slave. Your WHOLE hoof.”

Celestia’s eyes grew huge. Twilight let out a gentle gasp.

“And do not pretend that you can’t do it, either.” Luna continued. “You can do anything that we tell you to do. Isn’t that right?”

“I...I will try, Mistress.”

“You will not. You will DO IT. We will not accept simply trying. Understood?”

“Yes Mistress.” Celestia breathed.

Twilight watched as the white mare pulled back her hooves and shifted her body, pulling herself closer to her own sex. Taking a deep breath, she moved her right hoof back down to her dripping cunt.

Cautiously, she put her hoof at the opening to her marehood and began to slowly move it around, shifting it to find the best angle. She gasped audibly as the tip of it entered inside her.

Twilight’s breathing increased, matching that of her beloved mentor--who was currently the amazing sexual object on display before her. The unicorn felt her own sex dripping its juices freely, running down her legs in a steady flow.

“Push, Tia. Force it inside.” Luna urged.

With ragged breath, the white alicorn complied, and her hoof slowly began to disappear inside her marehood. With a visible rush, the threshold was passed, and Celestia’s entire right forehoof penetrated inside her. She paused.

“Fuck yourself.” The Night Goddess said. “You aren’t done. Fuck yourself.”

Celestia moaned lustily as her hoof began to move back and forth inside her. Tenderly at first, the white mare began to thrust her own hoof inside her pussy. She shifted her weight forward, allowing her a better range of motion, and continued to work her hoof inside at a slow but steady pace.

“Yes. Very good, slave. Drive it deeper. I want to see half your foreleg disappear inside that gaping cunt. That hole is begging for release, isn’t it? Use this as your chance to drive yourself over the edge.”

Staring dumbfounded, Twilight could only see what Luna was looking at, which alternated between the hoof that was going further and further into The Sun Goddess and the look of desperate desire that painted the same mare’s face.

“Faster, Tia. Fuck yourself faster and harder. Don’t go too deep.” Luna directed.

The white mare obeyed, and increased the tempo of her thrusts. Keeping them fairly short, she moved faster and faster, until they were going at a very impressive speed.

“You like this, don’t you? You’re going to cum harder than you ever thought you could by your own hoof. You’ve never made yourself cum like this before, have you slave?”

“No...Mistress...” Celestia gasped.

“Fuck that cunt, sister! It’s so wet you could put both hooves in there, we imagine. But...not tonight. Maybe next time. Or, maybe next time we will see how well your asshole can take this same treatment. Wouldn’t that be fun?”

The Sun Goddess couldn’t respond. She was lost in a sea of her own carnal activity.

“Look at us, Tia. LOOK AT US!” Luna shouted.

Instantly, the white mare’s eyes locked with Luna’s--and also Twilight’s. Raw prurience sparked through the air, seemingly touching all three mare’s souls at that very moment. The unicorn felt her heart stop for a moment and her throat go completely dry.

“We want to see you cum, Celestia. We want to feel it in your eyes when you drive yourself to zenith. Do you understand?”

“...yes...” The lust-crazed alicorn was barely able to force the single word out.

“Then do it, Tia. Make yourself cum. Make yourself cum for us. For OUR pleasure.”

Twilight’s eyes couldn’t blink.

“...Twilight?...” Somepony said somewhere.

Celestia’s hoof was covered in her own liquid essence, running like a stream from her flowing cunt. The throne was awash in the mare’s syrup.

“She’s going to cum...” Twilight barely whispered.

“Cum for us, Tia! Do it!” Luna demanded.

“Twilight?” A voice somewhere said again.

Small mewling noises began to squeak from The Sun Goddess. Her eyes became half-lidded as she forced herself to keep the gaze going between herself and her sister--and her sister’s unseen hitchhiker. The noises grew, becoming quicker and sharper, registering an approaching orgasm.

Luna smiled.

“TWILIGHT!” The voice jarred the purple mare.

The unicorn felt her spirit yank itself free from the midnight alicorn, launching back towards the direction of her body. She tried to twist and see Celestia, flailing her limbs as her spirit was dragged back towards it’s permanent host, but it was in vain. She wasn’t there for the end.

In a flash, she was back. Her eyes fluttered open, unsure of their own surroundings. She tried to focus, make the world come back into clear view. She could see...somepony...standing in front of her. Blue coat. Magenta eyes. And a mane of...many colors.

“Rainbow Dash?” Twilight said anemically.

“You there, boss? I was gettin’ kinda scared there for a sec’. You seemed really far out of it. Are you okay?”

“I was...” She was with The Princesses. She was there during their intimate moments. She was...a part of it. “...I missed it. I didn’t get to see her...”

“See who? See what?” Rainbow asked.

Twilight realized she was sitting in a pool of her own arousal. Her hind legs were soaked with the memory of what she had just seen. And the final release from The Sun Goddess that she didn’t see.

“Celestia.” Was all Twilight could say.

“The Princess? What about her?”

Twilight looked up at her friend. There was a look of desperation on the athletic mare’s face.

“Dash,” the unicorn began to regain her senses, “what are you doing here?”

“I came looking for you! We need you back in Ponyville! You gotta hurry!” She said.

“Need me back in Ponyville? Why? I thought Trixie was there to handle any magic emergencies.” Twilight said, rising carefully to her feet, hoping that Dash was too involved to notice the dampness she left behind.

“That’s just it, Twi’! You gotta come help us with Trixie!”

“What about Trixie?” Twilight stared straight at her friend.

“She’s gonna rape Fluttershy!”

...To Be Concluded.
