The Eclipse

The Sunrise

Previous Chapter

It had been a wild night for Celestia. Very wild. Her feelings for Cadence were indeed mutual, and they learned a lot about each other. Of course it wasn't the kind of learning experience that we be considered suitable for royalty, but there was a loophole. No pony knew about their encounter, nor did anypony know the two alicorns played on both sides of the field. Luckily, both of them agreed to keep their relationship a secret.

As Celestia awoke from her bed she turned to the pink pony who lay beside her. She was still fast asleep, her top half was exposed, while her bottom half was under the warm cloud like sheets. Her mane was spread out and covered part of her face, her cheek specifically. Celestia admired Cadence's perfect mane for a few more minutes. Unfortunately her own mane wasn't as graceful. While she didn't get the genes for a perfect mane like Luna or bedfellow, she did get the genes for best flanks in the family. Oddly enough she didn't inherit this trait from her mother, but rather in an ironically poetic sense, her father.

While she did notice her father's flanks were nicer then her mother's, she didn't have any "relations" with him. This isn't to say she didn't have any relations with any family members though, oh no. Simply put, those side glances she made, the passing thoughts that caused her to blush, those were all the things that gradually edged her on into that taboo; incest.

Celestia laid back on her stark white pillow, and seemed to vanish. Her paper white complexity was supposed to represent pureness, "and proof that you are true royalty". She scoffed at that quote. She wasn't a corrupt princess, but she was far from pure. There was a time when the princess was "pure" in a sexual sense. Quite a long time ago though.

"No Luna.....I love it."

"Really Tia?"

For once, Celestia had broken the royal "we, us" and spoke straight from the heart. She couldn't help it. Whenever she became emotional in anyway, her true feelings shone through. While she did regret straying from the path of true royal etiquette, she was with her sister, there was no need to be formal.

"Tia,......" As her sister paused, Celestia started to worry. Not out of a fear of her sisters disappointment in the dazzling performance of the sun and moon, but fear of the unknown. She knew the types of pauses her younger sibling had, but this was not one of them.

"How do you tell somepony you like them?" As Luna finished her sentence Celestia let out a sigh.

"Well dear sister, we would first tell them we liked them when we had the courage to do so." She felt very proud as the elder to provide such advice on the early stages of courting.

"So we just say we like you? Just like that?" Luna had every reason to be confused. She never wooed anypony in her life.

"Yes. We like you. Simple correct?" Celestia smiled.

"We like you too."

"Hahah! Nice jest!" Perhaps her younger sister wasn't fit for royalty but for acting instead! She should suggest Luna as a candidate for the next theatre.

"Tia......we do not.....jest. We......like........you. M-more then sisters like...."

"Lovers?" The princess' pale fur didn't help hide her blushes.

"We see you are blushing.....have we embarrassed you sister? Oh we are sorry....." The voice that she made right before she began to cry, Celestia knew it by heart. She dreaded that voice, that high pitched cry.......because it made her cry too. She knew she had to stop it before it was too late, before the tears overflowed and created streams and rivers, and she did it in the only way she knew how.

"Don't cry....." She said softly. Their eyes met as Luna looked up from the floor, and their lips joined together. The taste of her younger opposite was sweet, like a fresh fruit from the gardens she loved to gallop in so much. The sun and moon are reportedly similar to the separate sides of a magnet, they are naturally attracted......

As they pulled apart their lips, a miniature game of tug and war broke out between the feelings of love, and the feelings of self doubt. Each time they came back for another kiss, they were tempted to pull away again and stay away from each other for a week or so. But they didn't. Instead the emotion of love shone through like the moonlight of Luna, or the sunlight of Celestia. After testing the waters with their lips, their tongues emerged into fray and did combat with the other, each one attempting to wrestle the other one down. Luna had no idea she could use her tongue for anything other then making faces, and was quickly subdued by Celestia's slightly longer, more skilled appendage.

"Tia" She said worriedly, "Do you think this is wrong?"

"No. We know this is love." Luna knew it too.

From those first kisses, a relationship bloomed. Her relations with her sister were confidential of course, just like the ones she was having with Cadence right now. During those years of Celestia's younger days, it wasn't abnormal for second or third cousins to participate in fornication, but true incest between fathers and daughters, sons and mothers, siblings with siblings, that was outlawed. Luckily, the pair were very good at keeping secrets. They had gotten out of a lion's share of trouble plenty of times when they were foals.

The law had no effect on royalty, but to the common pony, the law was life, and death. It controlled taxes, what you could and could not do, and eventually, who you could and could not do. Different thinking groups at the time had all come to the same conclusion, the pairings of mares with colts was perfectly acceptable. Mating or unions between same sex ponies, was somehow equal to worshiping dark forces in their eyes. The Princesses of course could not, would not stand for this ignorance, and tried discreetly, to sway public opinion. It had no effect however, and shunning started to turn into stoning. Celestia could only watch as her own denizens were fighting over such trivial matters, and for what? She knew nopony gained anything from violence, but she didn't know how to stop the trend.

Luna excelled in this area. Her kind heart protected ponies who suffered prejudice, and she was revered in the underground communities. No matter what either sister did, or how many times they did it, things still hadn't changed......until Luna of course.

When she first brought up the idea of "Nightmare Moon" Celestia couldn't help but laugh. She hadn't heard her sister use her old role-play name since they were foals. But when she heard the elaborate scheme to unite Equestria in an effort to fend off the "Queen of the Darkness" she was stunned. Her younger sister was just that, younger; but she had generosity, loyalty and wisdom far beyond her years.

After this great "battle" concluded, her younger sister was banished but, everypony was in harmony. Love of all kinds returned, but so did emptiness. While she greatly admired her sister's noble sacrifice, a thousand years was a long time to wait for her to come back. So Celestia used her cunning, and developed the perfect plan to see her lover every so often.

"Tia? Is that you? OH WE ARE FILLED WITH JOY TO SEE YOU HERE!" Celestia asked herself if anypony back in Equestria could hear her from the moon.

"Yes Nightmare Moon it is us." As she smiled, she enveloped her wings around Luna, and as they touched, their passion for each other ignited.

Celestia tasted those sweet lips once again, but there was something different. Ah, she had lost the wrestling match with her sister's tongue. She could argue that she was unprepared for it, but she didn't care for any title, she just cared for the mare on the moon.

She moved her hoof to the tips of her younger siblings erect wings, but Luna, not Celestia stopped.

"Is something wrong dear sister?" She was genuinely puzzled. After so many years of waiting, Luna had to be beginning for some sort of contact.

"Nothing Tia. We are just admiring your mane. Its beautiful."

"We...I love you." Celestia said. One stray tear floated away from her eye, and into the depths of space.

Luna responded by licking the white horn in front of her.

"Haaahhhh...." Celestia started to pant.

Luna flashed her trademark smile, and started coating the whole horn with her saliva. When she finished, she began to suck on the whole top half of it.

"Mmmfff."

Celestia was too focused on avoiding a climax so early and didn't even bother to try deciphering Luna's "words". She started bobbing her head up and down on the whole now, faster then before. Celestia could barely see in front of her, and caressed Luna's wings, coaxing her into slowing down the pace. The dark blue mare complied, and with a smile to boot. Celestia just sighed.

"You can lay down Tia. We can take it from here."

She laid down, not knowing what sexual mischief her younger sibling was up to. She saw the shadow of her sister move from her snout, to her flanks. Luna too laid down, and got comfortable. She pressed her slender tongue on the outside of Celestia's shaft, and squeezed it like an orange. The droplets of her sister's passion flew away and twinkled in the process. She did manage to capture a few drops in her mouth and swallowed them. Luna couldn't make out what flavor it was exactly, but it had the resemblance of.....a banana.

Celestia started to nibble on her hooves as her sister started to lap the source of the banana like flavor with her tongue, much like a kitten would do. She couldn't help but moan as her sister did this, and she started to leak even more fluids out into the universe. Luna guided her tongue into the depths of "Tia", and a wave of fluid dribbled out. As she pulled back out again, Celestia thought how did she get so good? She had bested her younger sibling in the art of fornication before, but perhaps now she had finally met her match.

Luna slid her horn underneath Celestia's dripping wet flanks, and gingerly teased her gates.

"Haaahnn." I can't even speak....ohh its too good.... Celestia thought.

"We hope you can last longer? There is still much we would like to try." As Luna said this she knew her sister was reaching her limit. It was almost cruel how she took advantage of it.

"Aaghh, yes yes we can." Celestia mumbled. She hadn't even been penetrated yet and her flanks were ready to give out.

"Do we sense weakness in that response?"

"Ahhaaaha shut it....." She knew her younger sister would understand her playful tone, they were very close after all.

Luna glared at the hole before her, and slammed her horn in. Her head shot up in surprise, and she let out a yelp. Cheeky cheeky. she thought.

As the two mare's wings throbbed, and both horns leaked out magic, both mares wanted it those feelings of love and acceptance, to last forever.

"But it didn't." Celestia sighed.

"What was that?" Cadence asked.

In her deep thoughts, she had completely forgotten she was in her bed chamber with Cadence.

"Oh, nothing. Just about to raise the sun." She blushed.

"Nothing? Thats quite a feat. Do you mind if I watch?"

She was like Luna. Always adoring and inquisitive.

"No of course not." Celestia smiled. As much as she wanted her sister back she was glad to have Cadence. Now Luna had something interesting to watch.

Cadence got out of the bed, (with her perfect hair) and approached her new lover. While the light from Celestia's horn was a bit bright, it was nothing compared to the sun. Effortlessly, the larger then life ball of flame rose from the fields of Sweet Apple Acres, and slowly made its way into the sky. Cadence rested her head on Celestia's neck, and the warmth of their bodies soothed their unintentional bruises from last night. As the two alicorns nuzzled, a strange, yet somehow familiar, taste graced their lips. With that sweet taste, Celestia felt the presence of another mare in the room. A young, wise, and kindhearted mare, who was far beyond her years in wisdom.
