Chapters His heavy breaths echoed through the seemingly empty hall. His father had just been overthrown and executed on spot; the rebels were coming for him now.
“DOWN HERE!” A voice far behind him shouted.
An arrow sailed past his head and he dove forward over a fallen column.
“KILL HIM DON’T LET HIM ESCAPE!” Another voice shouted.
The man glanced behind himself and saw two mages and a crossbowman chasing him down the hall.
The door to the room slammed shut.
“Thank the gods I got you.” The man who yanked the first man into the room said.
“Ryze. Thank the gods.” The first man said, hugging Ryze tightly.
“Prince we need to get you out of the country.” Ryze said.
“How do you THINK we’ll get through the rebels? They want my head!” The prince said.
Ryze motioned back to a large diagram drawn on the floor.
“A… tunnel? That’s… suicide…” The prince stammered.
“Yes. For me it is.” Ryze nodded.
“No… we can fight through them.” The prince said.
“It’s just you and me left prince. We can’t fight.” Ryze said.
The prince remained silent for a moment. “Okay… okay. I’ll… I’ll take the tunnel.” He said.
“Good.” Ryze said, approaching the diagram on the floor.
“Ryze…” The prince said.
“Arkantos just be quiet.” Ryze said with a small smile. “Shut the fuck up and just make sure to survive for me okay?”
Arkantos nodded.
“Good. Get ready.” Ryze said as he put his hands on the edge of the diagram. He chanted something in an ancient language and the diagram began to glow brightly. A rainbow of colors swirled in the center followed by a massive plume shooting into the air.
“Good bye Ark. And may the Gods ble-” Ryze was cut off as something burst forth from the plume instantly dragging him into it. He had no time to scream in agony, as he was absorbed into the tunnel.
The plume shrank back down and it swirled again.
“Good… bye my old friend…” Arkantos said in a pained tone. A few tears began to slide down his face.
There was a sudden bashing on the door. “GET THIS OPEN!” A man shouted.
The door flew open and a crossbow was aimed at Arkantos.
Arkantos took one look back before diving into the unknown destination that the tunnel would lead him to. Before he was fully in the bolt from the crossbow collided with his back knocking him fully into the portal.
In Ponyville:
“So… why exactly are you bringing me here Pinkie?” Twilight asked.
“Are you questioning me?” Pinkie asked, stopping immediately and turning to face her.
“No…” Twilight said quickly.
“Goodie! Then come on!” Pinkie said.
“Okay.” Twilight shrugged following behind her friend.
Pinkie lead her for a bit before stopping. “Shhh…” She said, quickly putting a finger to Twilight’s lips. “Do you hear that?”
“Hear… what?” Twilight asked quietly.
“Wind.” Pinkie whispered.
There was a sudden loud crack that sounded like thunder.
“The wind is mad. Quick! Pretend to be wind. You have to whistle!” Pinkie said quickly.
“Wh-” Twilight was interrupted.
“WHISTLE!” Pinkie screamed, shaking Twilight violently.
There was another series of loud booms. Followed by an oddly green colored bolt of energy slamming into the ground beside the two of them.
“Pinkie… that isn’t the wind…” Twilight said.
Pinkie seemed to have been spacing off. She glanced at Twilight. “What wasn’t?” She asked.
“Th-” Twilight was cut off as a portal opened up in the air.
“Oooo!” Pinkie said staring entranced at the portal.
“Why… did a portal… just open up right here?” Twilight questioned.
“I dunno. What’s going to come out of it?” Pinkie asked.
“No idea… Anything could happen.” Twilight said.
A moment later there was a small noise as a fez fell from the portal and landed in front of Twilight.
“Okay… Didn’t expect that.” Twilight said uncertainly.
Shortly after a creature fell out of the portal onto his hands and knees. The creature was breathing heavily as he struggled to climb to his feet.
“Heeeey there! Why ya got a thingie in your back?” Pinkie asked staring at the bolt lodged just below the neck, it seemed to have not hit anything vital.
“Pinkie… go… go get someone…” Twilight stammered as she saw the blood now flowing freely from around the bolt.
Pinkie immediately ran off in the other direction.
Twilight rushed to the creature’s side. Her horn lit up as she attempted to staunch the bleeding.
The man slipped back to the ground as he lost the energy to move.
“You’ll be fine. Just…” Twilight started to say.
“L…” He mumbled.
“Just stay calm. You’re alright.” Twilight said.
“It… hurts… more… then… before…” He muttered.
“What happened?” Twilight asked.
“Rebels… want… me dead…” The man coughed weakly.
“What rebels?” Twilight asked.
“They… they don’t h… have a name...” The man said his breathing started to become more labored, as if it was taking a lot of effort to keep it up. “I… can’t… keep it… I… I’m sorry…”
“Sorry… for what?” Twilight asked.
“That… that I can’t…” His voice trailed off before his body relaxed.
Pinkie came back followed by a few paramedics.
“Sweet Celestia…” One of the men said. “Get him on a stretcher! And hurry!”
The group of paramedics managed to get the man onto the stretcher.
“Keep him stable!” Another paramedic said. “Let’s move! We don’t have much time!”
“He’ll be fine. We were able to remove the bolt without much trouble. Though I’d suggest keeping him from moving all too much just so we can make sure that nothing else was damaged by it.” The doctor said to Twilight.
“Would it be okay if I stayed here until he woke up?” Twilight asked.
“It wouldn’t be of much harm if you did.” The doctor said. “If you need anything just call me or a nurse in.” He walked out of the room and shut the door behind himself.
Twilight walked up to the bed and stared down at him. “Please don’t be dead…” She said quietly.
The man took in a rattling breath, “You… and I both are hoping that…” He chuckled weakly. His eyes slowly opened up.
Twilight smiled. “Oh you’re fine…” She sighed.
“And I’m going to guess it’s thanks to you.” He smiled weakly.
“Not like it was easy hauling your ass in here… You’re lucky I have magic.” Twilight chuckled.
“Really? What school?” He asked curiously.
“Um… Canterlot?” Twilight said slowly.
“Canterlot… Oh oh you thought… oh sorry.” He said with a small chuckle, “I meant what school of magic not where did you learn it.”
“Oh. Levitation is what I used to carry you so…” Twilight said.
“So… an illusionist?” He asked.
“Illusio- Of course not! I assure you it is real magic.” Twilight said as if she was offended.
“Well… I wa…” He stopped for a moment as he slowly began to process something. “Sorry if I offended you… I just don’t know much about… here…”
“That… That’s fine. I shouldn’t have assumed you were insulting me. It’s just strange when an injured man falls from the sky. Especially when you’re not exactly a familiar race by any definition… What are you by the way?” She asked, sounding a little intrigued.
“Well… I am a human. And… as for future reference you can call me Arkantos.” He said.
“Well Arkantos… My name is Twilight Sparkle. It’s nice to meet you.” She smiled.
“Likewise. After everything that’s happened to me in the past few months… it’s just nice to see a friendly face.” He said, returning the smile.
“Did you need anything?” Twilight asked.
“Not unless you have some sort of mana potion on hand.” Arkantos said.
“Mana?” Twilight asked curiously.
“It’s a form of magical energy… I assume… your kind uses a different form to power your magic.” Arkantos said. He took in a deep breath, “Gods, this lack of mana is really draining me…” He yawned as though suddenly sleepy.
“Just rest. You’re in safe hands here.” She said.
Arkantos’ eyes darted over her as started looking her up and down. A smile crossed his lips as he looked back up at her face.
“What?” She asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Nothing…” He chuckled. “I’m still just a little surprised by something…”
“And what’s that?” She asked.
“You may find out later…” He smiled. “That is if I see you again.”
“Are you going anywhere?” She asked.
“No. I don’t have anywhere to go anymore.” He sighed.
“Then we’ll be seeing each other. And I’m guessing you don’t carry an interdimensional house with you.” She joked.
Arkantos smiled a little more, “If you’re asking what I think you are… that’d be wonderful.” He said.
“Well I am responsible for you. It’s only right.” She said half jokingly.
Arkantos pushed himself up and instantly grabbed his head, “Oh… bad idea…” He mumbled.
Twilight’s magic surrounded him and pushed him gently back down onto the bed. “I told you to rest. You’re not leaving until you can sit up straight without fainting.” She said.
“Alright…” He nodded, “I’ll rest…” He looked back at her, an almost pleading look on his face.
“I’ll be right here when you wake up.” She smiled, taking a seat next to the bed.
The look faded and he smiled, “Okay.” He said, his eyes closing shortly after. He drifted off to sleep after another minute.
Two hours later:
Arkantos yawned quietly as he woke up. He looked around the room for a moment before he saw that Twilight had fallen asleep in the chair. He looked to the other side and noticed some clothing had been put there.
He carefully pushed himself out of the bed, this time being able to stand without getting dizzy. He dropped the hospital gown he was wearing and reached forward grabbing the underwear from the top of the pile. He had to turn around because a cord had wrapped itself around his leg.
Twilight opened her eyes slightly as she started to wake up. “Ark wh-” She stopped mid-sentence when she realized she had a clear view of his currently erect dick.
Arkantos froze momentarily. “Oh… I didn’t think…” He mumbled, covering himself up with his free hand. He fidgeted around to get the underwear on.
Her face turned bright red and looked away. “Um…” She mumbled.
“Sorry… about that…” He said, sounding slightly ashamed. “I should have… woken you up… to tell you I was going to… get dressed…”
“N… no it’s… big. I mean… fine!” Twilight said quickly.
Arkantos’ cheeks turned slightly red. “Yes… quite…” He said with a small cough. “Quite fine… I guess…”
“Maybe… you should get dressed.” Twilight said.
“Yeah…” He nodded, uncovering his morning wood to try to pull up his underwear.
Twilight glanced over and stared intently at it, seeming slightly entranced.
He shifted his hips quickly, causing his dick to bob from side to side.
Twilight’s eyes followed it and her mouth slowly fell open.
Arkantos pulled his underwear up containing his now throbbing erection. “Okay… I need bigger underwear…” He said to himself.
“No you don’t.” She said suddenly.
“Um…” He mumbled, now staring wide-eyed at her. “W… what?”
“What?” She said as if snapping out of a daze.
“Okay…” He said.
“You um… seem to take care of yourself.” Twilight said quietly, staring at his well-toned body and athletic figure.
“Yes… I drilled myself daily…” Arkantos said.
Twilight’s face blushed a brighter shade of red.
“Did I…” He mumbled, “I meant… workout drills… and training.” He said quickly
Twilight nodded quickly. “Yes… That’s what I was thinking of.” She said.
Arkantos fumbled around as he slipped some pants on. He quickly reached over and grabbed the shirt.
“You don’t need that.” Twilight said.
“Um… but…” Arkantos started.
“I mean…” She stammered.
He glanced at her as he quickly put the shirt on, shortly after putting on the pair of socks and shoes that were sitting on the floor, “Okay then… um… I guess… you’re in charge then?” He said as if uncertain of his wording.
Twilight immediately crossed one leg over the other. “I bet you’d like that…” She mumbled quietly.
“Uh… what?” He asked.
“You seem to be fine we should get going.” Twilight said quickly, standing up.
“Yeah… that sounds good.” He nodded, “Really… good… like…” He mumbled, as he got lost in thought.
“Yes.” Twilight stated. There was a flash as she teleported the two out.
Arkantos stumbled and managed to support himself against Twilight, his arms wrapped around her accidently. His erection pressed against her leg.
Twilight tensed up slightly and looked down at it before quickly looking away. “Um…” She said.
He quickly jerked away, “Sorry… lost my balance…” He stammered.
“I don’t know how you keep it with that thing…” She mumbled.
“You… learn to…” He mumbled, staring at the ground.
“Right! Home. Come with me…” She said, beginning to walk immediately.
“I bet it’d feel great…” He mumbled quietly.
She paused for a moment before continuing to walk.
He looked up quickly and followed behind her. “So… where do you live?” He asked.
“In a tree.” She said.
“In a tree… seems a little…” He started.
“No no… not like that. You’ll see…” She said.
The two of them walked until her house came in clear view. “There.” She said, pointing to it.
“Oh. That’s not what I was expecting at all.” He said.
“You’ll love the inside. Implying you like to read…” She smiled as they approached the house. She opened the door and motioned him inside.
“Then I’ll love it here even more.” He smiled as he walked inside.
“Hey Twil-” Spike started, freezing as he saw Ark. “Who’s he?”
Ark froze and stared at Spike.
“Oh hi Spike. This is Ark. Ark, Spike. Spike is my assistant. He’s a dragon.” She said.
“He’s… a little small.” Arkantos said.
“Hey!” Spike snapped.
“Baby dragon.” Twilight corrected herself.
“I’ve never seen a baby dragon… most of the ones I’ve seen were thousands of years old… so… they were… massive…” Arkantos said.
“Uh huh… So Twilight.” Spike said, paying almost no attention to the new guest.
“He’ll be staying with us.” Twilight said.
“Oh come on!” Spike groaned.
“That’s final Spike.” Twilight said sternly.
“Fine…” Spike sighed.
“It’s not like I won’t try to earn my keep…” Arkantos said quietly. “I’m not USELESS.”
“I’m sure you two will get along just fine…” Twilight said.
Ark’s stomach grumbled a little.
“Oh you’re probably hungry! Spike go make food.” Twilight said, shooing him away.
“No… no I’m sure you’re both hungry… so allow me to start repaying my debt to you.” Ark said.
“Oh. That sounds… really nice.” Twilight smiled.
“Um… yes… now…” Ark mumbled as he looked around.
“The kitchen is over here.” Twilight said, grabbing Ark’s hand.
Ark tensed up a little and followed her.
An hour later:
“So… how was it?” Ark asked the two of them.
Spike gave a thumbs up. “I take it back… you can have my bed.” He said with his mouth full.
“No… no I won’t take your bed.” Ark chuckled. He looked at Twilight.
“I love the food too. Um… you know…” Twilight started.
“Do I know… what?” Ark raised an eyebrow.
“You can… stay in my bed… if you want.” Twilight said.
Spike stopped chewing and looked up at her wide-eyed.
“Um…” Ark mumbled.
“If… you’re not comfortable I could sleep on the couch!” Twilight said quickly.
“N… no it’s… fine… I’ll take the couch… you deserve a bed…” Ark said.
“No. I strongly suggest you sleep with me.” Twilight said.
Ark coughed and choked back a little food.
“I’m… Going to take a walk. Thanks for the food…” Spike said uncertainly, jumping up and bolting out the door.
“Yes. That sounds great.” Twilight nodded.
“Um… where’s a bathroom?” Ark asked.
“Upstairs next to my bedroom, you can’t miss it.” She said.
Ark stood up, “Thanks.” He said rushing upstairs and into the bathroom.
Twilight walked upstairs towards her bedroom when she was halted by a noise in the bathroom. She walked up to the door and saw it was cracked open. She peeked into the room and saw Arkantos stroking his dick, keeping it aimed down at the toilet.
“Gods… your hands...” He mumbled, a few words were too quiet for her to hear, “Keep… going…”
Twilight blushed brightly and found she couldn’t take her eyes away.
His hand slid up over his tip covering part of his shaft in his pre. “Nnng…” He moaned quietly, “Almost… there…” His dick throbbed readily in his hands.
Twilight’s body started to get a little hotter as she stared intently at his hands moving across the massive member he so easily lugged around.
“Oh gods… I love you Twilight…” He mumbled.
Twilight’s legs weakened slightly, causing her to stumble forward. The door flew open and she landed roughly onto the floor, her breasts squishing against it, giving him a perfect view of them as she looked up at him.
Ark’s eyes widened and he exploded into and onto the toilet, giving it a new white sheen. He looked down at Twilight, meeting her eyes.
Twilight stared awkwardly at him. “Um…” She mumbled.
Ark’s mouth moved as he tried to form something to say.
Twilight’s horn flared up and she vanished immediately.
Ark mumbled a little as he stared blankly at where she just was. After a few moments he snapped out of his daze and quickly pulled up his pants. He quickly started to wipe down the toilet.
After a few minutes he quietly stepped out of the bathroom and glanced around. He saw Twilight’s bedroom door was open and quickly peeked in seeing her in the bed and under the covers. “T… Twilight?” He said uncertainly.
“In… here.” She replied reluctantly.
“I… just wanted to say… I’m going to… sleep on the couch…” He said.
Twilight sat up quickly. “No!” She said. “I mean… you can… sleep in here still… If you want.”
“O… okay… I guess… I will then…” Ark said as he took a few small steps into the room. “And… about… that thing…”
“Yeah no… It’s um… fine.” She said uncertainly.
“Okay…” He nodded as he slowly climbed onto the bed.
Twilight lied down again, facing away from him.
Ark removed his shirt and dropped it to the ground, also slipping his pants off. He got under the covers and rolled away from Twilight, his back slightly pressing against hers.
Twilight tensed up slightly, feeling his surprisingly warm skin against hers.
A window close to the bed had been left wide open and a cold breeze flowed in, chilling the air inside the room.
“You um… are kind of… hot.” Twilight said.
“Oh… thanks.” Ark said.
“I mean… literally! Not in that way… I mean you are but… no that’s… It’s…” She stammered.
“And thank you again.” He said, “It’s only natural for a pyromancer’s body to be hot…”
“Oh… okay…” She said. She slowly turned to face him and scooted closer.
His hand reached back and grabbed hers, gently tugging it to his chest, “You don’t have to be ashamed if you’re cold.” He said. “I don’t mind sharing with someone who’s… been really kind to me…”
“You… sure shared a lot… in my bathroom…” She mumbled.
“I actually… think it was… a little… selfish…” He said quietly.
Twilight blushed a little. “Um…” She said quietly.
He gently rubbed her hand and kept silent.
Twilight pressed her body against his. “Well… good night…” She said.
Ark rolled over and faced her.
Twilight stared wide-eyed at his chest, which she was now facing and pressed against.
Ark wrapped his arms lightly around her. “You still seem to be a little cold.” He said.
“A little…” She said.
“I meant it…” He said quietly.
“Wh… huh?” She mumbled, seeming a little out of it.
“Don’t worry about it…” He said.
“Okay. I’m… going to… close my eyes now.” She said.
“Good night…” He said softly as he closed his eyes. He unconsciously laid his head down right above hers.
She felt his hot breath run down across her face.
A small smile formed on her face as she nuzzled herself against him, closing her eyes and drifting off to sleep in his warm embrace.
The next morning:
Twilight opened her eyes and looked up at him, seeing he was still asleep. She then felt something hard lightly press against her stomach. She looked down and saw his erection raging in full, poking out the top of his underwear, pointing straight up at her. She stared intently at it. Her hand reached down slowly and touched it.
Ark sighed quietly but remained asleep. His dick throbbed slightly and a droplet of pre formed at his tip.
Twilight stared for a moment before slowly scooping it up and observing it as it ran down her hand.
Ark shifted around a little, his eyes slowly opening.
Twilight brought her hand to her face and started licking his pre off it.
His eyes widened as he watched her lick the pre up. His dick seemed to harden even more, now stretching the band of his underwear as it attempted to get free.
Twilight looked down at his dick, still not realizing he had woken up as she scooped up more from the tip of his dick and licked it off her hand.
Ark moaned softly, avoiding tightening his grip around her.
Her eyes shifted up quickly to his face and froze as she realized he was awake. He saw some of his own pre slightly dripping down her lips.
“G… good morning…” He said quietly, licking his lips a little as his eyes shifted to her lips.
“Y… Yeah…” She said, unconsciously licking it off her lips.
He placed his hand on her cheek, “You’ve… got a little something right here…” He said, moving his face closer to hers.
Twilight’s breathing got a little heavier as she felt his breath on her face. She slowly mirrored him and brought hers closer as well.
“L… let me get it for you…” He said, lightly pressing his lips to hers and quickly pulling back.
Twilight stared blankly into space for a moment. She quickly put her lips back to his.
His grip on her tightened a little as he held her in the kiss.
She closed her eyes and her hand instinctively moved down, sliding against his dick.
He moaned into her mouth and his hand moved down to her ass, slightly pulling aside her nightgown to grasp her bare skin. His hand started to slowly heat up.
She pulled back and gasped, staring deeply into his eyes.
He stared back, “Twilight…” He said softly.
“You have… something on… your face…” She panted softly, pulled him back into the kiss.
He opened his mouth up to let her in.
Her tongue darted into his mouth and her hand wrapped around his dick, sliding into his underwear.
The hand he had on her ass started to generate a small pulsating heat. Once that started he gently squeezed and massaged her ass cheek, his fingers pressing a little deeper into her flesh.
Twilight moaned loudly into his mouth and pulled her head away. “Ark…” She breathed.
“Twilight…” Ark said softly.
“Take off my clothes and tear me open…” She whispered.
He slipped off her nightgown with in a few seconds. He continued to massage her ass with one hand while he clumsily unhooked her bra.
Twilight’s horn flickered quickly and his underwear was torn off.
Ark let go of her body and gently pushed her onto her back. He climbed over top of her and looked down at her, admiring her now uncovered breasts. He smiled and with one hand started teasingly grinding his dick against the outside of her panties.
Twilight gripped the blankets and moaned quietly. Her hips moved slowly in tune with his teases.
Ark pulled her panties slightly to the side before pressing his tip against her entrance.
She gasped loudly. “It’s so hot…” She panted.
“I can make it hotter if you want…” He said as he started prodding her.
She moved her hands down and started stroking it almost feverishly. “Oh god… It…” She mumbled.
He moaned and pushed his head into her. “Nnng… so… much… better…” He mumbled.
Twilight let out a sharp scream that was quickly drowned out by her moans. “Too… big…” She stammered.
He pulled his head out, “I don’t… want to hurt you…” He said.
Twilight looked up at him. “You’re not it’s just… I have… to get used to it.” She smiled. “But…”
“But… what?” Ark asked, pressing his tip against her lips again, spreading them slowly apart.
“Th… the only… thing that hurts… is not having you… inside me.” She moaned.
He leaned down and pressed his lips against hers as he pushed the first inch into her.
She wrapped her arms around him and held as still as her trembling body would allow. A few moments later the door was thrown open and Spike walked in.
Ark tensed up and jumped forward a little, his length instantly slid fully into Twilight.
“OH FUCK!” Twilight screamed loudly, her whole body locking up.
Spike stared wide-eyed at the two before doing an immediate 180 and running out.
Ark panted heavily and looked down at Twilight, his entire body trembling a little. “Holy… it’s been years… since I’ve… been with a woman… but… nnng… you… holy… gah…” He mumbled.
“S… oh god… you’re… shn…” She stammered, her pussy immediately trying to force him deeper and milking him.
He started sliding back out despite the resistance; he barely removed the tip before making his return into her.
Her moans grew in volume. “Keep goin...g… fuck me…” She begged loudly.
“It’s our… first… time… l… let’s… savour… this… for… a little… longer…” He moaned as he thrust back into her.
Twilight nodded slowly and shakily, her arms tightening around him and strengthening her grip. “I… I love you…” She said.
“I… love… you too…” He said, kissing her neck. His thrusting started to get a little faster.
Her mouth fell open a little wider. “So good…” She moaned.
“S… so… are you… gonna have trouble… balancing now…” He smiled.
She seemed to laugh slightly before falling back to an unaware state as she bathed in the pleasure he was giving her.
His dick heated up a little more and he started thrusting a little harder. He grunted as he squeezed her a little more.
Her hips started bucking roughly. “Wreck me harder! Please!” She shouted.
He thrust even harder causing the bed to shift a little with every thrust, his head started ramming against her cervix with a greater force.
As she came her pussy spasmed violently around him, “YES! STUFF ME WITH BABIES!” She screamed loudly.
Ark didn’t stop on his pull out and his dick popped out of her pussy.
“Wh… what are… you doing?” She asked, staring up at him pleadingly.
Ark pressed his lips tightly to hers before roughly ramming his heated shaft back into her. His thrusting had gotten rougher and now the headboard was constantly hitting the wall making the already loud sounds of their sex even more pronounced.
She immediately screamed into his mouth, her eyes rolling back as the pleasure became unbearable, simply melting into the kiss as all her senses melded together.
His hand shot up to her breast and he started to massage and tease it.
Twilight’s legs twitched and kicked at the air while her nails dug into his back.
Ark pulled back from the kiss and pressed his head in between her breasts, his moans and gasps got louder as he got closer to his orgasm. His thrusts seemed to increase in force as if he was trying to bash his way deeper into her.
Twilight’s magic sparked uncontrollably, surrounding the two, making them both feel as if a warm blanket was draped over them.
Ark gave one final thrust before his now superheated cum was blasted into her. He moaned loudly and after the first wave he started thrusting again causing his cum to be mixed around in her pussy.
She let out an almost choked gasp as her ability to even moan was muffled by the pleasure she felt, letting out a weak grunt or sputter every so often.
The hand on her breast moved down to over top of where his dick was and she felt his cum start to amass at that point. Shortly after it started to he pulled his spent dick out of her. He slowly shifted all of it up to where her womb was, all of the hot cum moved in.
Her attention snapped back to reality immediately. “W… Wait!” She said quickly.
He silenced her with his other finger, “You won’t…” He said, slowly dragging his hand back, the cum flooded back out into her pussy causing it to expand slightly to fit every drop of it.
“H… Huh?” She mumbled, letting out a small moan.
He slowly guided the ball of cum out of her pussy.
She stared at it, noticing the light blue glow in it. “Magic?” She questioned.
“Yes…” He nodded. “And… being that it is all yours now… where do you want it?” He asked.
She stared at it for a moment before licking her lips. She opened her mouth and stared at him patiently.
He guided the cum into her mouth and let it slip down her throat before letting go of it.
“Mmm…” She mumbled happily. “You taste amazing…”
Ark slipped under the blankets and he covered up her lower body, hiding himself from view.
“What are you…?” She mumbled before a spike of pleasure hit her. “Oh!”
She felt her panties get pulled off and she heard him breathe in deeply. Shortly after there was a deep exhale followed by another spike of pleasure.
Twilight bit her lip and smiled widely. “I think it’s your turn… to do the tasting…” She giggled softly.
Ark pushed his tongue past her lips and lightly grazed his teeth against them. He pulled back a moment later, “First… an amazing kisser, then… you knew just how to drive me crazy… now… you smell incredible… and… I could get addicted to your taste…” He said.
She moaned softly. “You’re the only drug… I need…” She panted.
He nibbled on her clit.
She yelped loudly. “Oh yeah…” She sighed.
He teased and licked her lips. His hands shot up and he grabbed her breasts, increasing the pleasure she was feeling.
She rocked her hips, grinding her slit against his face, “Nnnaaah… how…” She mumbled shortly after she moaned loudly. “So good…”
He pressed his tongue beyond her lips, tickling her walls as he pushed deeper in.
Twilight made a noise that sounded halfway between a moan and a giggle.
Ark slowly pulled his tongue back out and slowly slid back up her body his face still wet with her juices. He smiled mischievously as he looked down into her eyes.
“What ar-” She was cut off as he pressed he lips to hers. She instantly opened her mouth and instead of his tongue he had managed to collect a decent amount of her own cum which now slid into her mouth.
He continued massaging her breasts and moaned quietly into her mouth.
Her eyes shut tightly and she moaned into his mouth.
When he pulled back their tongues slid apart leaving a long trail of saliva between their mouths.
She smiled a little and moaned softly as he squeezed her nipple, “You know how to make a girl feel special don’t you?” She giggled.
“I guess I know how to show a truly special woman exactly what she is…” He smiled he planted kisses down her neck and slowly licked and kissed up her on breast.
Twilight bit her lip as he slowly licked around her nipple his tongue gently tickling and teasing it. She watched him intently.
Ark took her nipple into his mouth and the hand he had on that breast slipped down to in between her legs. He slid two fingers into her and gently pistoned them.
“Yes…” She moaned.
Ark suckled and nibbled her nipple, drawing a small stream of milk from it. He closed his eyes and started sucking a little harder. His thumb started pressuring her clit moving it around as he pistoned his fingers.
Twilight’s head fell back onto a pillow and she laid there limply; basking in the treatment her lover was giving her.
He lightly bit down on her nipple.
She yelped loudly and bucked her hips, forcing his hand to slam against her pussy.
His other hand suddenly slipped down lower he traced a finger around her ass hole.
She shivered a little and moaned quietly. “Please… make me cum…” She begged.
He removed both his hands from her lower body and she felt his erect dick again press against her lips.
She bit her lip and stared at him.
Ark pulled off her breast, “This time… you’re in charge…” He smiled rolling her over with him.
Twilight was now on top of him, her soaked pussy against his muscled stomach. She smiled and leaned down kissing him as she raised her hips up and slammed them down over his dick, hilting him instantly.
Twenty minutes later:
Twilight nuzzled herself against his chest she was still panting heavily after the last round. “After that… I’m pretty sure no one else is going to fit me any more.” She joked.
“Well I don’t want anyone else.” Ark said, kissing her forehead, “I’ve got everything I could ever need right here…”
She smiled widely, “So do I.” She said, “I’ve got a man who’s a great cook, incredibly warm and cuddly, a massive package, knows a lot about magic, and who knows just how to make me feel incredible.”
“Why would you need me to show you the truth?” He smiled.
“It doesn’t hurt to have someone showing me constantly.” She said.
He yawned, “I could go right back to sleep.” He said, hugging her closer.
Twilight nuzzled his chest again, “So could I.” She yawned.
“Then let’s just sleep…” He said.
“That sounds go-” She cut herself off.
“What’s wrong?” He asked.
“My brother and sister-in-law are coming to see me today!” She said, “I can’t sleep any more! I need to get a shower… I need to make sure Spike doesn’t tell him abo-”
Ark silenced her with a finger, “We need to take a shower… and why hide anything if we’re being serious about being in love?” He asked.
“It’s just… you aren’t from here… and my brother gets really protective…” She said.
“That’s even better.” He smiled.
“Why?” She asked.
“Now you have two people who are going to be protective of you.” He said hugging her again.
She smiled and returned the warm embrace.
“Now… let’s go take that shower…” He said softly.
Twilight stepped into the shower and turned it on. The warm water rushed out of the shower head washing over her body.
Ark stepped in behind her. He reached over her and grabbed a bottle of soap. He popped open the cap and brought it back to his nose, “Mmmm…” He mumbled.
She giggled a little, “Hey… I need that…” She said trying to grab it from him.
He chuckled and kept it out of reach, “Nah uh.” He smiled he used his other hand to turn her back around. “Let me wash you.”
She seemed a little taken aback by his statement. “Oh…” She mumbled. “That’s… new…”
“Give it enough time…” He said draping his arms over her.
“Fortunately that’s just what I have.” Twilight smiled.
“Where do you want me to start?” He asked leaning up and lightly nipping the tip of her ear.
“Why don’t you start from the top and… make your way down.” She whispered, placing a slow but quick kiss on his lips.
He smiled a little, he poured a little shampoo into his hand and ran his soaped up hand through her hair. His other hand was lathered with soap and he grasped her breast and started massaging it. “Like this?” He asked, kissing her cheek.
She sighed softly. “Yeah…” She said.
He finished up with her hair and chest so he stepped back and rubbed soap onto both his hands. He looked up and down her back and smiled to himself.
“Something wrong?” She asked, not looking back at him and continuing to let the water run down her chest.
“No…” He said, starting a slow back and shoulder massage. “Oh… I was wrong…”
“What is it?” She asked.
“Don’t worry. It’s nothing that I won’t be able to help fix.” He said as he started rolling her upper back muscles to loosen them up. “It’s a good thing our species are so similar…”
“Very similar…” She cooed, her ass gently rubbing back against his dick.
He slowly moved down her back, “I may just take up that offer…” He said sliding his slightly erect cock in between her ass cheeks.
“I think you already have.” She giggled quietly, looking back and giving him another kiss.
Both his hands moved down to her ass cheeks, he massaged both them and his dick. His fully erect and throbbing shaft rubbed against her ass hole.
“Good to know… we’re both so good… at massaging each other…” She moaned.
He reached over her and grabbed another bottle of soap. She felt it get squirted in between her ass cheeks, lathering both them and his dick up.
“What are you doing?” She asked with a little curiosity and a slight hint of dread building inside her.
He paused and stopped trying to prep for anal. “Nothing.” He said.
“Did you um… want to do… that?” She asked half hesitantly.
“You don’t want to… so I won’t. I’ll wait until you’re ready.” He said kissing her cheek.
“Well… I know one thing we can do with that… we wouldn’t want to waste perfectly good soap…” She said, bending over and putting her hands on the wall in front of her.
He grabbed her hips and shifted his cock down to her entrance. “After what we’ve done… I think it would need a nice cleaning…” He said.
“You’re right… I’ve been a very… dirty girl…” She said, grinding herself against the tip of his throbbing member.
Ark shoved himself in, stuffing her full with in a second of his head passing through her lips. He grunted as he leaned down over her. “Holy damn… even after… two rounds you’re still strangling me…” He mumbled.
“You’d be surprised… at what I can recover from…” She joked strainfully before letting out a loud moan.
“At this rate… I’m going to be the one recovering…” He chuckled as he started to thrust.
“Nnng…” Twilight mumbled, his cock managed to hit different areas then the last time.
Ark wrapped his arms around her stomach. He started to laugh weakly as his body was flooded with pleasure.
“W… wha… ah… what’s… s… so funny?” Twilight questioned through moans.
“H… how I’ve… g… gone from… being free… t… to under your… power…” He said.
“W…” She began.
“A… and how much… I love… it…” He said kissing her neck.
“Nnng… fuck…” She moaned. Her pussy spasmed as she came.
Ark started thrusting harder into her, “G… Gods… y… you’re… perfect…” He mumbled. Her arm brushed the shower dial changing the water temperature from it’s original hot temperature to an icy cold one.
“Sh… shut… up…” Twilight blushed, her body now shaking because of both the cold water rushing over her body and the force of his thrusts. “I… I am… n… not… perfect…”
“You’re right…” Ark nodded in agreement.
“W… wha…” Twilight’s eyes widened and she was about ready to force him off.
“T… to say you’re perfect… is an… understatement… it… puts you down… from… w… what you… really are…” Ark said, kissing her neck and cheek. “T… there a… are no words… for what you are…”
Twilight’s blush grew brighter and she contracted even more around him. Her pussy now desperately trying to milk him.
“I… I love y… you…” Ark grunted as his thrusting got even harder.
“Nnnng… I… I l…ove… too…” She panted shakily as another orgasm rocked her body.
He hilted himself inside of her, his thick almost boiling cum poured into her. So much came out within the first shot that the rest just flowed out of her pussy and onto the shower floor, the water steamed as it washed the cum down the drain.
“Nnng… hot… so… hot…” Twilight mumbled another orgasm forcing it’s way through her body.
Ark was panting heavily as he pulled out of and stepped back from Twilight, “And… I thought… last round was the best…” He said through his heavy pants.
“Yeah… the cold water… really adds a thrill.” Twilight shivered, standing as straight as what just happened would allow.
Ark pulled her back into his arms. “So…” He said. “Do you want to get out now… or just stay like this for a little bit?”
“Either works… so long as you’re with me.” She smiled, kissing his forehead.
He kissed her on the lips, “As much as I want to just keep you all to myself… family is important too…” He said.
“That’s why I’m happy you’re here. That way I’ll never be too far from them…” She smiled.
Despite the water still on it she could see a few tears run down his face.
Twilight wrapped her arms around him tightly. “I love you.” She said.
“I love you too…” Ark said, “My… princess…”
“I’m going to need more underwear.” Ark chuckled as he slipped his pants on.
“Only in public.” Twilight laughed.
“If only the house wasn’t also a libr…” He stopped and started laughing.
“What?” She asked.
“Spike… left the door open… when he ran out…” He said his laughter slowing down.
Twilight’s face reddened slightly. “Oh god…” She mumbled.
“Hey… it’s not like many people could have heard it.” Ark said as he grabbed her hand, “And… you’ve got to admit… it’s a little more… thrilling when there’s the chance someone can hear it going on…”
Twilight gave a small smile and shook her head. “You just love hearing me scream.” She joked.
“I love just being able to touch you...” He smiled. He squeezed her hand a little.
“The feeling is mutual.” She said, running a hand along his cheek.
He leaned forward and planted a kiss on her lips. “I’d suggest that before we tear apart the rest of my clothing… let’s at least go say hi to your brother and his wife…” He said.
“Yeah… It wouldn’t be the best of manners to lug you around without any clothes on a leash like my own personal breeding hound.” She laughed.
He took a sharp breath in, “Ooookaaaayyyy then…” He said.
“Well what are we waiting for. Let’s go.” She smiled.
“Just… one question before we go.” He said.
“Sure.” She said.
“How many boyfriends have you had before me?” He asked.
“Besides you? Aboooout… zero.” She said.
“And now the only one you’ll ever need.” He smiled.
“How did you get so perfect…” She asked, wrapping her arms around him.
“I don’t know… how did I find the perfect woman?” He asked pressing his lips to hers.
“Mm… How many girlfriends have YOU had?” She asked after pulling away.
Ark choked a little and mumbled something that sounded like, ‘I lost count.’
Twilight just stared at him.
He sighed, “Okay… most lasted less than a week…” He said, looking down at the ground. “And… really… most of them wanted me because of where I stood…”
“What do you mean?” She asked.
He took a deep breath in. “Back where I was before… I was the next in line for the throne…” He said. “And…” He sighed again, “Can we sit down?”
Twilight nodded and guided him to the bed.
“My family… had been ruling for generations… but that’s… not how I ended up where I am now… disgraced… hunted by the people I once swore to serve… and without a family…” He said, “My father… went from being kind and just… to being tyrannical… evil… and cruel… all because a group… assassinated my mother… that went on for… three years before the rebellion started… and they executed anyone… even related to my father…” He paused for a moment and she could see he was crying. “No one… was spared… and… I was… left alone… hunted down like a rabid dog… and almost killed…” His hand shook a little. “I… I didn’t… know what was going to happen to me… and my closest… and last friend… sacrificed himself… so I could escape my death… even if it was just… for a moment…” Tears were streaming down his face.
Twilight could feel her own tears falling down her face. She wrapped her arms around him and cradled him without a word.
“And… when… I hit the ground… I thought I was going… to die…” He stammered.
“Stop…” She said.
“But… you… you saved me… in… so many ways… and…” He said quietly. “And… you… didn’t… even know me… or know… what I was…”
“I know you now… and I know I’ll never… ever… let you go.” She said, hugging him tighter.
“You’re… all I have now…” He said quietly, looking up at her.
“You’re all I want…” She said.
He hugged her, “I… I can tell you… my life… would be… meaningless… and empty without you…” He said, burying his face into her shoulder.
“I love you so much Ark… I won’t ever leave you… I promise.” She said, pressing her face into his hair as more tears slid from her eyes.
“I can’t even… begin to tell you… how much I love you…” Ark said, his grip on her tightening a little more.
“You know… earlier. When you said your other girlfriends, and why they were with you?” She asked.
“Yeah?” He asked quietly.
“I don’t care about any of it. I don’t love you because of your blood or any of that… I want you, and only you. Never give me any more than just that.” She said.
“Then… I’ll give you all that I have now… my body, my heart… and my soul…” He said.
“Well that’s only fair… since you already have mine.” She smiled.
He looked up at her and smiled back, “Twilight?” He asked.
“Yeah?” She said.
“Can… we just… hold each other for a little bit longer?” He asked.
“I’d like that…” She nodded.
“I think it’s great that me and your sister are going to be able to spend some time together. It’s been forever!” Cadence smiled.
“I know! It’s just been so hard to get some time off.” Shining said, returning the smile. They walked up to Twilight’s door, he reached forward and knocked on it.
Spike opened the door and stared at the two of them seeming almost out of it.
“Spike?” Cadence asked caringly.
Spike blinked a few times and stepped back still silent.
“Spike… did something happen?” Shining asked.
Spike nodded.
“What?” Cadence questioned both suspiciously and hesitantly.
“Bedroom… screaming… walked in…” Spike mumbled.
“Is… Twilight mad at you?” Shining asked.
Spike shook his head.
Shining looked at Cadence, seeming a little confused.
Cadence walked in past Spike and immediately heard moaning in the bedroom. She walked up the stairs and approached the door.
“Yeah… do it harder…” Twilight sighed.
She peeked into the room saw Twilight laying naked on her bed while a complete stranger was beside her massaging her back.
“As you wish.” The man said, pressing harder into Twilight’s back. “Anything else?”
“Am I interrupting?” Cadence asked into the room.
The man froze up and remained silent.
Twilight’s head snapped to the door and a wide smile grew on her face. “Cadence!” She said excitedly, rushing over and hugging her.
“It’s good to see you Twilight!” Cadence giggled.
“Ark come over here and meet the best sister in-law ever!” Twilight said, looking back at Ark. Her expression faded slowly to a blank one when she remembered he was naked. It was shortly after that she realized she was still naked. Her face turned bright red almost immediately.
“I see you two are dating? Unfortunately I’m only familiar with half of the people I’m looking at.” Cadence joked.
Ark looked back for a moment before managing to cover himself up. “Yes… um… there’s a reason for that…” He said quickly.
There was the sound of footsteps walking up the stairs.
“Oh don’t worry.” Cadence laughed. “I’m not a prude. The things I’ve let your brother do to me…”
“Wha… Why would you…” Shining mumbled from outside the room.
“Yes… and the things I’d let you do to me…” Ark mumbled quietly, glancing up at Twilight.
Shining glanced at Cadence as he entered the room. He froze when he saw Ark. He then glared at Ark.
“Oh lighten up honey… I’m sure not every boyfriend of a family member is a malevolent changeling queen. That’s one thing that doesn’t run in the family… I hope.” Cadence laughed.
“Oh gods… those children nappers exist here too?” Ark sighed as he fell back, “I was hoping I left more of the bad things behind…”
“They did what?!” Cadence snapped in shock.
“Changelings… don’t kidnap children do they?” Shining asked.
“Well the ones I’m used to steal the child and replace them… usually with ill results.” Ark said.
“You’re not from around here are you.” Cadence asked almost rhetorically, observing the non-pony esque man.
“No…” Ark said. “Though… I do feel that I belong here more than my own world…” He smiled as he looked at Twilight.
Twilight smiled back and kissed him.
“You couldn’t have dated a pony?” Shining asked.
Ark pulled Twilight back down on top of him and held the kiss for a little bit longer.
“Shining…” Cadence said bluntly, giving him a disapproving stare.
“Sorry… it’s just all of my experiences with races I haven’t even heard of before have been bad.” Shining said with a sigh.
“Right! I’ll let you go ahead and be the one to say how horrible he is for being different, or were you going to try a different form of prejudice?” Cadence asked in a sarcastic curious tone, staring intently at Shining.
“Alright…” Shining sighed.
Ark pulled back from the kiss and pulled Twilight under the blankets and against his bare skin. “There… that’s much better.” He smiled, hugging her a little tighter. “And I don’t mind being called out as different… it’s what I am. Why hide it?”
“You’re definitely not hiding anything…” Twilight giggled quietly, gently stroking his dick as she kissed him.
“How long… have you two been dating?” Shining asked.
They broke the kiss at the same time. “About four hours now.” They both said as if it wasn’t an important fact.
“Four… hours…” Shining repeated in disbelief.
“Are you sure that’s not how long you’ve been going at it?” Cadence questioned.
“Well… we got out of the shower about twenty minutes ago…” He squeezed Twilight a little more. “Though… I wouldn’t mind picking up where we left off…” He whispered.
“Why don’t me and Shiny leave you two alone.” Cadence smiled.
Ark was doing something under the blanket.
Twilight gave a quiet grunt. “Yes… Do that…” She said, seeming that the question Cadence was asking wasn’t the one she was answering.
Ark kissed her and both Cadence and Shining heard the wet schlick as he hilted himself in Twilight.
“Oh… god…” Shining sighed.
“Oh sweetie…” Cadence said, wrapping her arms tenderly around Shining.
The bed underneath Twilight and Ark started to bounce a little as Ark thrust roughly up into Twilight.
“How… can… someone change my sister… like this… in the span of four hours?” Shining asked himself.
“The same way… I can change you, by doing this…” Cadence said, sliding a hand into his pants, an immediate heat radiating from it as she wrapped it around his package.
Twilight made a half choked moan as she pulled away from the kiss, “Oh god… Smash it open!” She screamed.
“Twi… what’s are yo-” Shining was cut off by the loud sound of part of the bed cracking under the force of Ark’s latest thrust.
“It… fu… hurts… so good…” Twilight moaned shakily.
Shining chewed on his lip and shivered a little as he gave into Cadence’s touch.
“Thaaat’s better… Now let’s go downstairs.” Cadence cooed softly, sliding her hand out of his pants and switching it to his own hand, gently pulling him towards the doorway.
“I’m… going… to fucking… break you…” Ark grunted.
“Break me… in half!” Twilight screamed.
Ark tore out of Twilight and in one swift motion shoved his dick into her unprepared ass.
Twilight’s eyes widened and her whole body tensed up. “WHAT THE FUCK!” She screamed.
Ark’s hand shot up to her head and he pulled her back down into a kiss, his thrusting had slowed and became softer.
Twilight grunted softly and slowly started to loosen up, moaning into his mouth.
Ark let her pull away from the kiss and wrapped his arms around her. “Nnngah… fuck... this… feels good…” He grunted.
“I… I can’t fe… nngh…” Twilight sputtered.
“S… sorry…” He said, “I couldn’t… just got lost…” He mumbled.
Her chest was heaving in and out with pained breaths. “Hurts… r… really… bad…” She groaned.
Ark pulled her in close and hugged her. “Okay… let… let me pull out…” He said quietly, kissing her forehead. He slowly started pulling his cock out of her ass.
Twilight stopped him. “No just… just let it sit… for a moment.” She said.
He nodded and stopped moving, his arms still wrapped around her. A few fresh tears had settled by his eyes.
“What’s wrong? Is it too tight? I can get off…” She said quickly.
“No… I thought I had really… hurt you badly…” He said quietly.
Twilight put a hand on his cheek. “I’m fine…” She smiled.
Ark smiled back, “I’m glad you are… I wouldn’t have been able to forgive myself if you weren’t.” He said. He pulled her head down against his chest and kissed the tip of her nose.
“I’m sure you’d find a way…” She said, slowly moving her hips around.
He moaned softly and started slowly thrusting in and out of her. “A… after this… I’ll… be taking… care of you… even if… you don’t need me too…” He smiled.
“Sounds… great…” Twilight grunted, tightening slightly around him.
“Agh… if… I was… all the way in… I’d think... you’re trying to… crush my dick…” He joked, his thrusting was forced to get harder in order to combat her tightness.
Twilight seemed to be straining. “I.. think…” She mumbled.
He slowed down slightly, “What’s… wrong?” He asked.
Twilight shook for a moment before her whole body relaxed. “Oh fuck yeah…” She moaned, her mouth falling open wide and her tongue falling out.
Ark smiled and steadily increased the speed of his thrusts. “Yesss… squeeze… harder… make it… harder to thrust…” He moaned.
“So fucking gooodsh…” Twilight slurred, tightening as if on command.
Ark moaned louder and started getting a little rougher with each thrust. Suddenly he smirked and stopped thrusting, letting Twilight slide down to his base. His hands pressed down on her hips preventing her from moving very much.
“Wha… dng… sto… don’t…” She mumbled.
“Shh… j… just wait…” He moaned.
Twilight stared down at him, panting, her breaths getting almost impatient.
“There…” He grunted. His smirk returned as he looked up at her. “This… will make it… a lot better…” He shifted his hips around a little before lifting Twilight slowly off of his cock and holding her above his tip for a moment.
“Huh?” She mumbled uncertainly.
He dropped her causing his dick to pave straight through her ass again.
Her head fell back immediately, her eyes straining open wide as she screamed.
Ark started to thrust up bouncing her a little with every thrust.
She started babbling something unintelligible as she was so freely tossed around.
His breaths turned into heavy pants as he drew closer to his orgasm. “Get…. get ready…” He moaned.
Her pussy spasmed violently, causing her ass to tighten to the point where he couldn’t thrust anymore, trapping him hilted into her. “SLPHMG!” She shouted with an audible choking noise.
He exploded into her ass. His cum flooded into her and after a few moments began to overflow and started going farther into her body. “Fuck… yes…” He sighed as his head fell back.
Twilight’s whole body froze as she felt both their orgasm’s pass through her.
Ark pulled her head down and kissed her. His cum continued flowing freely into her ass, some managing to slip past his dick and had begun to drip out of her ass. “I can’t believe… how good… this orgasm feels…” He moaned.
“Yes… pump me full…” She moaned quietly.
He smiled weakly, “Whatever you… want…” He said.
Ten minutes later:
Twilight’s stomach had expanded outward a little bit from the amount of cum Ark had pumped into her ass.
“I may have… over did it…” He said quietly.
Twilight’s face had twisted into a blissful peace. “No… it’s perfect…” She said in a half-drunk manner.
“Well… let’s see how much…” He started, pressing the tip of his slightly erect cock to her pussy. “It takes… to make it real…”
Twilight’s expression quickly changed back to normal. “Wait a minute…” She said quickly.
He kissed her and pulled his dick back. “I thought you’d have something to say about that.” He said, with a small sigh.
“Well if you’re tired… alright. We should probably get downstairs. Shouldn't keep them waiting any longer.” Twilight sighed.
“Give me another half an hour… that last orgasm drained me.” Ark said, wrapping his arms around her.
“I can wait.” She smiled, nuzzling herself against his chest.
An hour later:
Twilight sighed as she relaxed back into Ark’s grasp. “So warm…” She mumbled.
“I’m always happy to warm you up.” Ark smiled, kissing her neck a few times.
Night placed a few glasses on the table and filled them with water.
“Thank you dad.” Twilight smiled as she took two of the glasses.
Night smiled back as he sat down beside Velvet.
“I’ve been wanting to know, how did you two meet?” Velvet asked.
“Um…” Twilight mumbled. “He fell out of a portal… with a crossbow bolt in his neck… and I saved his life…”
“Why would you have a crossbow bolt in your neck?” Night asked.
“It’s a long story… that I don’t enjoy even thinking about…” Ark said quietly.
“I want to make sure my dau-” Night was cut off as the front door opened up.
Cadence, Shining, and Celestia entered the house.
“Hey mom, hey dad.” Shining said.
“Hello.” Velvet smiled.
“It’s so good to see you two.” Celestia smiled.
“Likewise Princess.” Night nodded.
“And it’s always a pleasure to see you Twilight.” Celestia said.
“Princess.” Twilight bowed.
Celestia chuckled, “Twilight it’s alright we’re all family.” She said. She paused for a moment as she looked at Ark, “Well, not all of us.”
Ark stood up and bowed, “Your highness.” He said.
“Why don’t we all sit down?” Celestia asked.
Twilight nodded and walked over to the couch.
Shining and Cadence sat down too.
Ark took a seat beside Twilight, while Celestia sat across from them.
“I’ve heard a little bit about your relationship with Twilight… but I want to hear what you both have to say on it.” Celestia said calmly.
“I l-” Ark was cut off by Twilight.
“I love him with all my heart and want to stay with him for the rest of my life.” Twilight stated quickly.
“Are you sure that you truly love him?” Celestia asked.
“I’ve never been more sure about anything Princess.” Twilight said.
“I’ve seen this happen many time before…” Celestia said.
“Seen what?” Ark asked.
“A relationship started on lust… but most never make it past that.” Celestia said.
“It’s… more than just that…” Twilight said.
“I would say time will tell but…” Celestia smiled. “I can already see that you’ve excelled in breaking through that barrier too...”
“You could say that…” Twilight chuckled.
“It’s great to know tha-” Celestia stopped and looked around.
“What’s wrong?” Shining asked.
“When did you arrive?” Celestia asked, looking directly at Ark.
“About three days ago… why?” Ark asked.
“My sister and I both felt that massive burst of magic… and I just felt it again.” Celestia said. “This time… it was a lot closer…”
“That could either be very good… or very very bad.” Ark said.
“Um… very bad would be?” Twilight asked.
“The rebels.” Ark said, a tinge of fear in his voice.
“And… the good?” Twilight asked.
“The Royal Guard’s found me and it’s a scout trying to locate me.” Ark said.
“How many more would be coming through if it is a scout and he finds you?” Celestia asked.
“The remainder… which is if they’re all still alive… fifteen.” Ark said quietly.
“And if they’re rebels?” Twilight asked.
“Then it’s an assassin.” Ark said. “And that’s all they’ll assume they need.”
“Well they didn’t expect us.” Twilight smiled.
Ark smiled and hugged Twilight. After a moment he pulled back and stared at his hand.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.
“Give me a se-” He was cut off as a small fire appeared in his palm.
“Is… that good?” Twilight asked, staring at the fire.
“This means my magic wasn’t as far gone as I thought…” Ark said. “And that also means now if it comes to it I can stand my own ground…”
“Is there something else it means?” Celestia asked.
“It means I’m also a lot easier to find.” Ark said.
“Let them come… you’re not alone you know.” Twilight said, grabbing his hand gently.
“I’m sure with all of us here we can more then take on a single person.” Celestia said.
“I’m not worried about myself…” Ark said quietly.
“We’ll be fine…” Twilight said reassuringly.
“I know I won’t le-” Ark was cut off as the sound of an armored fist knocking on the door echoed through the house.
Night got up slowly and looked out the window. “He’s armed…” He said. “With both a sword and a bow…”
Everyone else looked at Twilight and Ark.
“What do we do?” Twilight asked quietly.
“I feel if he was an assassin… he’d have definitely taken a different route… then knocking on the front door.” Ark said.
“What is h-” Night was cut off as the door’s lock clicked open.
“Yeah he’s no rebel… they prefer just blowing the door up over picking it open.” Ark said.
The door was pushed open, “Sorry for that I just can’t wait any longer.” The armored man said.
“You’re… breaking into my house and you expect…” Night began.
“I just need to con-” The man froze as he stared at Ark. “By the… It is real!”
“Brandon?” Ark questioned.
“Sir, yes sir!” Brandon saluted. “I was sent here to locate you!”
“You seem too good to be true…” Twilight said skeptically.
“What do you mean?” Brandon questioned.
Ark opened his mouth for a second before he slowly glanced over Brandon’s armor. “That’s… too fresh…” He mumbled.
Brandon gulped a little saliva back.
“Who are you… really.” Twilight asked slowly.
“I’m…” Brandon mumbled.
“A pathetic liar.” Celestia said.
Brandon whipped out a dagger, before anyone else could react Ark hit him with a solid ball of fire sending him backwards out the door.
When everyone looked back at Ark his hand and arm were covered in flames. “No, you don’t.” He stated.
“What the hell!” Twilight said.
Ark was breathing heavily as he stepped around the couch and slowly walked towards Brandon who was trying to stand again.
“Please… don’t kill me…” Brandon pleaded.
“You don’t seem to understand that it’s not my decision on your fate now…” Ark said, stomping down on his wrist and cutting off the spell Brandon was attempting to channel. “And you’re just driving the nail deeper…”
“Princess do you want me to take him into the cast-” Shining was cut off.
“Twilight, what do you feel should happen to this man?” Celestia asked calmly.
Twilight stared at the man for a moment. “I don’t know how things work where you come from… but I’m not going to let anyone die today.” She stated, looking back at Celestia.
“Shining you can take him in.” Celestia said.
Shining nodded and quickly tied the man’s hands up.
“I’d suggest using something to cut off spell channeling.” Ark said.
“Don’t worry he won’t be getting out until I deem him fit to leave.” Celestia said. “I’ll need to alert the rest of the guard that things could be changing… if you need me at all I’ll be at the castle.” She walked out of the house with Shining and Cadence.
Ark looked back for a moment before staring at the ground.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.
“Nothing…” Ark said quietly.
“Ark.” Twilight said, putting a hand on his shoulder.
Ark continued to silently stare at the ground.
“Please don’t ignore me Ark…” Twilight said softly and pleadingly.
Ark looked back at her, “I wanted so badly to protect you…” He said quietly.
“I don’t need protecting Ark…” Twilight said with a smile.
“No matter how many times I’ll hear that… I can’t believe it…” Ark said as he hugged her.
“If I’ve learned anything from being married to your father Twilight… Is that men need something to protect, even though they might be overstepping their bounds.” Velvet said.
“Being who I am… that’s just increased tenfold.” Ark chuckled.
“Well it’s good to know I’ll always have you then.” Twilight said and nuzzled herself against him.
“You know… seeing as he is a prince… and I’d assume a knight… wouldn’t your one friend Rarity just fall for him too?” Velvet chuckled.
“I’m not scared I’ll lose him to anyone.” Twilight smiled
“Why would I want anyone else?” Ark smiled back.
Twilight pressed her lips to his and melted into him right away.
Their tongues gently rolled and rubbed against each other.
“It’s good to see that you two feel that there’s more to being in love then just sex.” Velvet joked.
Twilight broke the kiss, “Mom, Dad do you mind if we stay here for the night?” She asked.
“Not at all.” Night smiled.
“Then let’s go to bed early…” Twilight smiled, her horn flared to life and both she and Ark were teleported up to her bedroom.
“I’ve got to say… they look cute together.” Velvet said.
“Yes. They do.” Night nodded.
Velvet wrapped herself around Night, “Why don’t we head off to bed?” She asked, nuzzling herself against him.
“I’d love that…” Night smiled.
Twilight laid down beside Ark and nuzzled herself against his warm body.
“I want to try something new tonight…” Ark said softly.
“Can we just sl-” Twilight stopped as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her even closer.
“I want to hold and cuddle with you all night long…” He smiled.
She nuzzled his chest and laid her head down, “That sounds nice.” She said.
“Twilight…” He said quietly.
“Hm?” She questioned.
“I just want to ask… do you want any children?” He asked.
She looked up at him, “With you? Yes. Yes I do.” She said, “If I were in season… I’d tie you to our bed and ride you until it ended…”
“You know I’d enjoy it.” He smiled.
She smiled and rubbed her nose against his. “I love you so much Ark.” She said.
“I love you more…” He said.
“No, you don’t…” She said.
“Yes, I do…” He said, kissing the end of her nose.
“Nope.” She giggled.
“Yep.” He said, kissing her on the lips.
“Oh yeah? Then why don’t y-” Twilight was cut off as she moaned. “Mmm yeah… right there…”
Ark smiled as he massaged her back.
She relaxed and nuzzled her head against his chest, “Good night…” She mumbled.
He kissed the top of her head. “Good night to you too…” He said.
Twilight closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Ark soon followed and his grip on her loosened slightly.
Dream:
The air around Arkantos was chilled. The night sky was covered in smoke and clouds.
He stared around the field. He could tell it had once been green and fertile. Now it was pot marked and scarred with the blasts and impact zones of magic. Bodies laid strewn about some torn apart others dangling from spears, poles, trees, or laying broken on the ground.
“I would ask what this is…” A female voice said quietly.
Ark spun around and drew his long sword. “Who are you?” He questioned.
“I am Princess Luna, Princess of the night and of dreams.” She said.
“Dre- And you decided to…” Ark began.
“You’re having a nightmare. And frankly… I can see why…” Luna said.
“This was… the first confrontation with the rebels… and I failed… I failed everyone…” Ark said quietly.
“You did? Then why is it that this isn’t the last?” She asked.
“I let so many men and woman die!” He said.
“Any leader knows there’s risks to everything.” She said.
“Risks that could have been avoided…” Ark sighed quietly.
“What are yo-” Luna started.
“I gave the order that caused this…” Ark said. “I sent thousands of people to their deaths…”
She remained quiet.
“Even better… I caused thousands more to die… I left villages unprotected because I wanted to end the rebellion… because I wanted to get the empire back to normal…” He stammered as he fell onto his knees. “It was entirely my fault… every single… one of them…”
“No it wasn’t. You did what you thought was right. And they all followed you to it BECAUSE they wanted to! They trusted you and they would have and did die for you.” She snapped.
He flinched.
“Even I can see that what you truly fear is YOUR PAST FAILURE! Let it go! Stop hanging onto the past. Look to what you have now.” She said. “You have a beautiful woman hanging onto you in her own sleep. You have her hanging onto your every word… your every touch… She love you to no end. Don’t let every failure overpower your successes. That won’t end well. And I speak from experience.”
He looked up at her.
“It seems you have work to do…” Luna said calmly.
“Wha-”
Ark’s POV:
My eyes shot open and I heard Twilight crying softly in the bathroom. I quickly got up and walked over to the door. “Twilight?” I asked softly. “What’s wrong?”
The crying stopped immediately. “N… nothing.” She said shakily.
“Twilight… please I can’t help if you don’t tell me what’s wrong.” I said.
“It… was just a bad dream… there’s nothing you can do.” She said.
“Then why don’t you let me in?” I asked. “If I can’t do anything about it, I can at least hold you and help push the fear away right?”
She paused for a moment before the door clicked open. “Okay…” She sniffled.
I quickly entered and locked the door behind me before sitting down beside her and gently pulling her against my chest. “I know you really don’t want to tell me about the dream… I still want to hear it though…” I said softly.
She looked up at me for a moment, “You were leaving me…” She said quietly.
I held her a little tighter and kept quiet.
“I dreamt… you had been cheating on me and… that you said they were better than me…” She sniffled, “And you told me… I should just give up and stop trying to fall in love… that I was w-”
“Stop.” I stated. “First of all… I’m never going to leave you… you’re everything I want… no everything I NEED. You’re more perfect than what I can ever stress… the only one of us who has to fear that they aren’t good enough is me…”
“Ark…” She said quietly.
I smiled and kissed her, “I love you so much Twilight.” I said softly, gently caressing her cheek.
“I love you too… Thank you.” She smiled, nuzzling herself against my chest.
I hugged her closer and pressed my face into her hair.
“My crying couldn’t have woken you up… Not that I regret it not happening.” Twilight joked.
“You weren’t the only one having a nightmare…” I said quietly. I shivered slightly at the thought.
“Why don’t we go back into the bed and… not sleep. Together.” Twilight said with a growing smile.
I smiled and lifted her up and set her down on the counter. My smile grew as I pressed my lips to hers.
She moaned softly, closing her eyes and wrapping her legs around my waist.
I reached out and managed to grab the door handle and pop it open. When it was fully opened I lifted her back up and slowly carried her back out to the bed. I broke the kiss momentarily, “I bet by tomorrow… we’ll just be on the floor…” I joked.
“Well… you’ll be on the floor. I’ll be on the most comfy bed in the world.” She joked, poking my nose.
“Let’s not waste anymore time then…” I said as I kneeled down on the bed and slowly laid her onto her back. My dick already hard and pressing against her pussy.
“Let’s try not to wake everyone up… even though that’s not going to be the hardest thing tonight.” She said.
The next morning:
I slowly opened my eyes and I was greeted with the sight of Twilight peacefully asleep on top of me. I gently ran my hand through her hair before brushing away from her face. I kissed her on the head and smiled as a small smile ran across her face. “Just keep sleeping… it’s still early…” I whispered softly into her ear.
She nuzzled her head against my chest.
I smiled even more before I glanced over at the bed.
Memories of the night before came flooding back in. We went so hard the right two legs on the bed snapped and sent us, the sheets, the blankets, and the pillows onto the floor. I chuckled softly because neither of us even cared, our bodies were too intertwined for us to even notice. I was so entranced in the kiss that when she attempted to pull away to see what had happened I just yanked her into an even more passionate one.
I felt Twilight move a little and she kissed my cheek.
“Good morning to you too…” I smiled, returning the kiss.
She sighed happily and laid her head back down on my chest. “I’m just going to sleep on you from here on out…” She said.
“I’m glad you slept well too.” I said, gently caressing her cheek.
She nuzzled my hand before kissing me. She moaned into my mouth as she started to grind back against my hardening length. She pulled back from the kiss and got off of me. “Ark… I’m hungry…” She said.
“Then I’ll go make breakfa-” I was cut off when she turned around and sat on my chest, her back was now facing me.
“But you already have…” She cooed as she grabbed my dick and started stroking it.
I moaned without even trying to quiet it down.
Shortly after she slid her hips back until her cum soaked lips were right above my face. Last time a woman tried this I got so disgusted, licking ANY amount of cum out of a pussy? Gods the thought made me sick… but now I had a much bigger reward for doing so… and it didn’t seem so… sickening.
“Oh I ca-” She was cut off by her own moan as I started eating her out. “Nnnng yeees… mmmnnaahh keep going… eat me…” Her moans started getting cuter as I continued on, now the taste of both my cum and her sweet nectar flooded into my mouth.
Twilight rocked back and forth. “Oh god…” She moaned. “S… stop.. f… for… a… m… mo- AH!” She screamed as she orgasmed.
Her juices flooded out onto my face and mouth. I stopped eating her out, “Wow…” I mumbled.
Twilight was panting heavily. “So fast… so good…” She mumbled.
“Twilight?” I asked.
“Huh… oh… r… right…” She said. “L… let me… g… get you… off… n… now…”
“Go ahead…” I said.
She glanced back at me before moving her nose close to my shaft and taking in a deep breath, “Oh… god… that smell…” She mumbled.
“I wa-” I stopped as she started licking my shaft. “Nnag…”
“So good…” She mumbled before she started taking my dick into her mouth and down her throat.
I moaned even louder as she started sucking on my dick.
She closed her eyes and grabbed my balls. Her horn lit up and my balls started to heat up. After a moment she started massaging and kneading them.
“You’re… nnnagh… mouth… feels… amazing…” I moaned.
She pulled back quickly and took in a few deep breaths. Both her cheeks had turned bright red. It took another moment before she took my entire length down her throat. Her throat muscles started rippling around my dick as she swallowed. Her horn lit up again and I felt it start to massage my dick too.
“Nnng… can’t… h… hold out much… longer…” I mumbled as I felt my orgasm draw near. I quickly shoved my face back into her pussy and started eating her out again.
Her moans were muffled by my dick and she started grinding her hips against my face again.
I started to slowly push up causing my dick to slid in deeper before pulling back.
She grabbed my hips tightly and held me in place as she started bobbing her head up and down again.
I moaned into her pussy and shoved two fingers into her unprepared ass.
She gasped and had to pull back as she started choking on my dick.
I started quickly thrusting my fingers in and out of her ass causing more moans to leave her.
“Fuck… you’re… going to… make me… cum again…” She mumbled.
I responded by nibbling on her clit.
She screamed out in pleasure and quickly hilted my dick in her throat again.
Her pussy and ass began to tighten as she drew closer to her orgasm. I felt mine well up and she pulled back and started sucking on my head. Her one hand started stroking my length as her other played with my balls. Her magic wrapped around my shaft again and rippled around it.
My orgasm tore through and I started pumping her mouth and throat full of cum.
She came and covered my face with a fresh layer of juice. She started hastily gulping down as much as she could, her cheeks bulged out with every shot.
I pulled back and laid my head down on the ground. “Everything… feels so… good…” I mumbled.
She pulled back and my last two shots splashed over her face, neck, and breasts. “Mmmm…” She mumbled as she scooped some up with her hand and licked it off. “I love it so much…”
I chuckled through my pants, “Lets… get… a shower… before… we leave…” I said.
“Lets…” She nodded.
Twilight wrapped her arms around me and kissed me on the lips, “You didn’t have to lick me clean… I was going to remove all that cum…” She said, “But that… oh my god… You made me feel so alive when you did that… it was so hot…”
“For a moment… it was a turn off for me… but then… just getting to taste you again… Mmmm… It was so worth it.” I smiled as I kissed her.
“I’m so full now…” She said as she patted her slightly distended stomach. “I hope you were planning on c-”
I picked her up and smiled.
She nuzzled her head against my neck. “I love you so much…” She said.
“I love you too.” I said, kissing the top of her head.
I carried her down the stairs.
“Oh you two are leaving so soon?” Velvet asked.
“Don’t worry mom we’ll be back. I just want to introduce him to my friends.” Twilight said.
“Don’t worry sweetie you don’t have to constantly visit… I’ll just want to see you before the wedding is planned.” Velvet smiled.
“I wouldn’t dream of not bringing everyone in the family into the planning.” I said with a soft smile.
“Good bye you two! I hope everything goes well.” Velvet waved as I carried Twilight out of the house.
“Bye mom!” Twilight waved, “Tell dad I said bye to him too!”
As I carried her down the street and towards the train station everyone glanced at us. I saw the men look directly at Twilight while the women stared at me.
“I think everyone’s jealous…” Twilight giggled.
“Then let them… They can dream all they want, we’re going to be together forever and they can just suck it up.” I said.
“Twilight!” A woman said as she rushed over to us.
“Stardancer! It’s been so long!” Twilight smiled, hopping out of my arms and hugging the woman.
“And I can see how much you’ve changed! Look at you and you’re handsome boyfriend…” Stardancer said as she looked at me.
“He’s the best boyfriend I could ever ask for…” Twilight said, wrapping her arms around the back of my neck and pulling herself close. “And he’s shown that he love me in every way possible…” She pecked my lips. “And I love him right back for it.”
I wrapped my arms around her and smiled.
“That’s great! I’m so happy that you’ve finally got a man!” Stardancer said.
“I know he’s a lot better then any other man I could have ever dated… smart, strong… great with his hands…” Twilight started, “Nice and toasty to cuddle with…”
Stardancer stared at Twilight.
“Protective… not to mention all his other… pluses…” Twilight giggled, kissing me on the lips again.
“And you’re the best girl I could have ever asked for… smart, beautiful, fun to be with, you fit so perfectly against me…” I smiled. “There’s so much I love about you…” I kissed her neck and caused her to sigh happily.
“I love you too Ark…” Twilight said, nuzzling my neck.
“You two do seem perfect for each other… I really shouldn’t keep you two here though I’m sure you both have somewhere to go.” Stardancer said.
“Bye Stardancer, it really was nice seeing you again.” Twilight said.
“Bye to you both too.” Stardancer waved as she walked away.
“Lets get back home now… we shouldn’t keep everyone waiting. I’m sure Spike has told everyone about what he heard… and saw.” Twilight said, her face turning slightly red. “I’m going to get torn apa-”
“If I couldn’t succeed after the LAST attempt… what make you think anyone else will succeed?” I smiled.
She looked up at me and pressed her lips to mine.
I pulled back and she laid her head down on my shoulder. I lifted her back up and she wrapped her legs around my hips.
“It’s nice having a loyal stallion to carry me around…” She said.
I smiled and started carrying her to the station.
An hour later:
Twilight yawned sleepily as she woke up from her nap.
“Good afternoon… did you sleep well?” I asked.
“Mmmhm.” She nodded.
“Great.” I smiled, kissing her softly on the lips. I slid my hands across her back. “You want to know something?”
“Sure. What is it?” She asked.
I leaned closer, “I’m getting really thirsty…” I whispered.
“Oh well there’s a refreshment cart going around.” Twilight said.
I smiled, “You’re just so cute…” I chuckled.
“I’m not cute.” She stated, slugging me in the arm.
“Why can’t you be both cute and beautiful?” I asked, sliding my hands further down her body.
“I guess I can make an exception… this once.” She smiled, shivering slightly.
I kissed her neck, “I can’t wait any longer… I’m so very thirsty…” I whispered again.
“Did you want water or…” She asked.
“Milk…” I said softly, sliding a hand under the back of her shirt.
“I don’t think they have that here but I’ll ask.” She said, glancing towards the door.
I chuckled again, “I have some right here though…” I said.
“Oh can I have some?” Twilight asked.
I looked up at her blankly.
“What?” She questioned.
I sighed, “I guess I have to say it…” I said. I stopped for a moment before smiling and moving my one hand up to her breast. I squeezed it gently.
Twilight moaned. “Ohh… I see…” She said.
“Am I allowed to?” I asked.
“Well you’re thirsty… It’d be wrong of me to stop you.” She said, grabbing the back of my head and moving it down as she lifted her shirt up.
I started massaging both her breasts right away. “Just tell me if it doesn’t feel good…” I said.
“That’d be a lie…” She sighed quietly.
I took her nipple in between my lips and started sucking on it. I started squeezing a little harder.
“Oh Ark… Just like that…” She moaned, tightening her grip on my head.
The taste of her milk flooded my mouth and I stopped sucking and pulled back. I stared at her and smiled as much as I could without letting any of the milk out.
“God you’re so perfect…” She sighed contently.
I pressed my lips to hers and pushed my tongue forward against her lips.
Twilight immediately started to cough, yanking herself away from the kiss.
I swallowed all the milk that was left in my mouth, “What’s wrong?” I asked quickly.
“Didn’t ex.. pect… milk…” She choked out.
I chewed on my lip, “Sorry…” I mumbled.
“Just… keep going.” She said. “My other breast is getting lonely…”
I pressed my lips to her other breast and started sucking again. My one hand grasped her breast while I used the other to massage my growing bulge.
“You focus on me… I focus on you…” She said, moving both my hands to her breasts as she slid one of hers into my pants.
I closed my eyes and turned the massage into a greater attempt to milk her. More milk flooded into my mouth and I swallowed it as often as I could.
Her hand clamped down around my dick and started stroking it softly.
I moaned causing me to choke a little on her milk. I pulled back and gasped momentarily for air. I was yanked back to her breast, barely able to get any breath.
“I didn’t say you could choke…” She said.
I mumbled something before sucking on her breast again.
“That’s better… right where you belong…” She cooed, stroking my length a little harder.
I moaned again and squeezed her breasts a little harder.
“You said you were thirsty… so keep drinking…” She said almost commandingly, a damp spot appearing in her pants.
I slid my one hand down and started massaging her pussy through her pants.
Her legs spread open instinctively and her arms fell to the side, releasing the grip on my head.
I pulled back from her breast and kissed her, “I’m yours to command…” I said softly, pressing my finger a little harder against her pussy.
“Why don’t you… help take my clothes off.” She asked through already heavy breaths.
I nodded and started pulling her pants off. As I did we both felt the train lurch forward as it stopped.
“The heck?” Twilight mumbled.
“I guess we’re at our station.” I said.
“Oh…” She said quietly.
I sighed and kissed her again. I reached down and grabbed her shirt. “I guess we should get ready.” I said, handing it to her.
“Great idea… we can tie the doors shut with it.” She smiled widely.
I stared at her before a wide smile grew on my face. I threw the shirt down and pressed my lips to hers. Both my hands shot down and I almost tore her pants apart to get them off.
“I’m going to make sure everyone on this train know’s what’s going on in this cart…” She stated lustfully.
“If anything… everyone in town will know…” I said as I ripped my pants off and started rubbing my burning erect length against her soaked entrance.
“Just shut up and fuck me already.” She said impatiently.
I thrust roughly into her and gasped as she clenched down on my dick.
Twilight’s head slammed back into the seat and she let out a loud shriek. “Yes!” She moaned.
After a moment I started thrusting in and out of her, pressing my chest against hers. “Fuck… only… get’s… better every time…” I moaned.
“Oh god fucking ruin me!” She shouted, her nails digging into the seat she was in.
I grabbed her hips tightly and started pounding into her.
I heard something open but I really didn’t care and I pressed my face into her neck.
“Nngh… why don’t you… come inside.” She said.
My entire body froze up.
“I… think we should be happy for you but…” A woman mumbled.
“SIT DOWN.” Twilight commanded.
After a moment of silence I heard multiple seats creak as people sat down on them.
“Twilight…” I said quietly.
“I didn’t say you could talk… now HARDER!” She said loudly.
I shook slightly before obliging to her and roughly pounding in and out of her again.
“Leave the door… open.” Twilight said, glancing at one of the women.
“I… um… need to use th-” Another woman began to mumble.
“No one leaves.” Twilight stated, tightening around me and glancing down. “I said harder, are you deaf?”
I increased the force of my thrusts even as I felt my orgasm rise up. I managed to slide a hand down and I pinched her clit.
Twilight screamed, writhing in the seat and wrapping her arms tightly around me.
I grunted before roughly thrusting forward and bashing into her cervix, instantly exploding in her.
“Fill me like I’m some slut you found on the street!” She screamed loudly and shakily, starting to go limp into the seat.
I managed to continue to thrust causing some of my cum to splatter out of her.
“Twilight… as much as we enjoy you showing off your boyfriend…” A third woman said.
I finally stopped thrusting and I braced for what I assumed would happen next.
I felt several kisses on different areas of my head. “I love you.” She said softly, tenderly running her hand through my hair.
I looked up and smiled, “I love you too.” I said.
“Pinkie… why are you naked?” The first woman asked.
“Oh. I thought we were all getting naked! It’s fun!” Pinkie said.
Twilight seemed to ignore them, moving her hand down and scooping some of my cum that drooled out of her pussy and licking it off her hand. “Now I’M thirsty…” She whispered in a tone that was purposefully loud enough for everyone to hear.
Everyone stared at the two of us.
“I’d be more then happy to help…” I said.
I was pushed back into a seat between two of the other women, immediately feeling Twilight’s mouth around my shaft.
“H… hey… I’m Ark…” I mumbled.
“I… I’m… Fluttershy…” The woman to my left mumbled.
“I’m… Rarity…” The woman to my right said.
“It’s rude to make a woman wait… I said… I’m… thirsty.” Twilight emphasised each word, squeezing my balls as the warmth of her mouth engulfed my length again.
I grunted and as if on command I felt my orgasm start to well up.
“Um…” Fluttershy mumbled, scooting away slightly.
I gasped as I came in Twilight’s waiting mouth.
Twilight let out a small moan as she continued to massage my balls, swallowing audibly with each twitch.
“Wow… look at her go…” A woman mumbled.
“That’s just…” Rarity mumbled.
Twilight’s eyes shifted to Rarity with that of malice.
Rarity shrunk back, “Sorry…” She mumbled.
I felt the last few shots finally leave my body and I relaxed back still panting heavily.
Twilight stood up and took a seat next to me and Fluttershy. “So how are you all doing?” She asked calmly.
“Kinda… awkward… considering what we just witnessed… from you.” One of the women said.
“That sounds great! Why don’t you all introduce yourselves.” Twilight smiled, nuzzling herself against me.
“Um… Sure…” The woman said. “I’m… Rainbow Dash…”
“Sugarcube are you SURE you’re feelin alright? I mean… this just doesn’t seem anything like you…” The final woman said.
“He’s just so sweet… and tasty.” Twilight giggled. She looked at Rarity. “And no, don’t even ask. You can’t.”
“I’m offended! Why would I ever try something like that!?!” Rarity said defensively.
“Okay maybe if you ask really nicely.” Twilight joked.
“Okay now something’s REALLY off.” Rainbow Dash said, staring directly at me. “Whatever you’re doing to her… stop it.”
“Like you’ve never wanted Soarin to just bend you over in a train and take you in front of everyone.” Twilight said, eyeing Dash with a smirk.
Dash looked away and mumbled something, her cheeks now a bright red.
“Twilight… what’s going on? A few days ago you woulda been blushing and turning away at the mention of any man going to bed with you…” The final woman said.
“I don’t know… It just doesn’t bother me. I promise I’m not being mind controlled Applejack.” Twilight said.
I choked back a laugh as a single thought came to mind.
“What?” Twilight asked.
“My last experience with mind controlling magics ended with three men acting like dogs…” I started.
Twilight paused for a moment. “Go on…” She said.
“It gave a whole new meaning to doggy style for everyone there.” I smirked.
Twilight burst out laughing.
Rainbow Dash and Applejack started laughing too.
Pinkie joined in shortly after.
Rarity blushed slightly and covered her mouth as she laughed a little.
Fluttershy just covered her face with her hands.
“Fluttershy?” I questioned.
“I just…” She mumbled.
“What?” I asked.
“Looked at his…” She said.
I paused for a moment. “Oh right we’re naked.” I said.
“Yeah… maybe you two should get dressed…” Rainbow Dash said.
“What about Pi- Oh.” I said, noticing Pinkie had somehow dressed… without anyone noticing.
“Hey I’m actually getting thirsty now, why don’t you get something to drink.” Twilight said, pushing me to my feet and pointing to the door.
“Um… sure.” I said, quickly grabbing my clothing.
My clothes were teleported and neatly organized beside Twilight. “You won’t need those. Go on…” She said, giving me a hard slap on my ass.
I quickly rushed out of the room.
“I’m back!” Ark said as he carried in two trays filled with various food and drink.
Twilight’s magic surrounded both trays and hovered them in front of her friends.
Ark sat down beside Twilight.
“Thank you for the food.” Twilight smiled.
“No problem.” Ark said, returning the smile.
“I’ve been thinkin… seeing as we haven’t ever seen yah before…” AJ started.
“We saved his life a few days ago!” Pinkie said happily.
Rarity choked on some water. “Just… a few… days ago?” She questioned.
“Well a day after he woke up… we started making love.” Twilight shrugged.
“And you two have decided that you love each other just over sex?” AJ questioned.
“Yes.” Twilight nodded.
“That’s a little quick to be jumpin into such a heavy conclusion ain’t it?” AJ asked, raising an eyebrow.
“Would getting to know him more BEFORE it made it any different? We’re not strangers anymore you know… Just because we did things a little… out of order… doesn’t mean we’re any less in love.” Twilight said.
“You have seen how all of Rarity’s relationships have worked out right?” Dash questioned.
“Hey!” Rarity huffed.
“What I’m just saying… after one date you’ve told us all how in love you are with this new guy and yada yada yada… I mean really. Have any of them lasted more than a week?” Dash asked.
Rarity silently glared at Dash.
“Says the one who hasn’t had any as of late.” Twilight joked.
Dash stared right at Twilight.
“But you probably have an excuse brewing in your brain now that involves the fact that you’re too busy, so I’ll give you a minute to think.” Twilight smirked.
“At least my first time wasn’t with a dildo.” Dash smirked.
“That’s a great comeback. I have indeed been outwitted by your… what is that thing in your head I can’t tell…” Twilight chuckled.
Dash grumbled quietly as she looked away from Twilight.
“Anyways… enough about lesbians.” Twilight said.
“What?” Ark asked.
Dash silently stared at the floor.
“Okay then… If you’re so sure he’s ‘the one’ how do you intend to yah know… get it all made out? It’s not like anyone’s ever seen what ever his species is. And not many people are that willing to accept something so… different.” AJ said.
“Are you for real?” Twilight raised an eyebrow. “Like… really?”
“I’m not sayin I don’t trust him.” AJ said, raising her hands up defensively.
“Oh really? Then what are you saying Applejack because I’m having a little trouble translating ‘Inbred Hick’.” Twilight snapped.
Aj looked away from Twilight and remained silent.
“Please just stop fighting… It’s not going to get anyone anywhere…” Ark said.
“Alright… Does anyone have anything to say that isn’t about our relationship and how it’s going to fall apart? Because if anyone has ANYTHING at all I’m open to talk.” Twilight said, glaring at the others.
“Has he met Princess Celestia yet?” Rarity asked.
“Yeah.” Ark nodded.
“Oh.” Rarity said.
“He’s already met my parents… That’s a night I won’t forget…” Twilight laughed, glancing at Ark.
Ark smiled, “Hard to forget any time with you.” He said.
“Especially when we all had sex in the same room…” Twilight said.
Everyone stared at the two of them.
“What? It’s perfectly normal to have an orgy.” Ark said with a dismissive wave of his hand.
“With your parents…” Dash said, looking at Twilight.
“I found out Ark and my dad are equal in more ways than one.” Twilight giggled, clinging to Ark.
Ark wrapped his arms around her and cuddled against her body.
“Wow… that’s not something… that’d even cross my mind… to find out…” Dash mumbled.
“Everyone is different.” Ark shrugged.
“Yeah… I get that…” Dash said.
“Then is there a problem?” Ark asked.
Everyone shook their heads.
“Great!” He said.
“Maybe we should have an orgy with more than just my parents.” Twilight smiled widely as she glanced around at everyone.
“I won’t say no if everyone is up for it.” Ark said.
“I love you.” Twilight said, kissing Ark’s cheek and hugging him. “Isn’t he great?”
“Yes… he’s just so great.” Rarity said.
“So you two are planning on getting off somewhere right?” Dash asked.
“Most likely everywhere.” Twilight nodded.
“I… Wasn’t… I meant… the train…” Dash mumbled.
“I don’t see why we can’t do that here too.” Ark smiled.
“You all seemed to like watching us.” Twilight said, staring at Dash and Rarity. “Maybe you’d like to participate this time?”
“Yeaah… I’m fine.” Dash said.
“As much as I would love to do that. I just can’t force him to cheat on you.” Rarity said.
Twilight turned to Ark and stared at him, raising an eyebrow.
“Technically… it could be considered polyamory…” Ark said.
“I’d be happy to share… it’d be unfair to keep something that big to myself…” Twilight stared at Dash with a growing smile.
“Like I said… I’m fine…” Dash said with a little less certainty in her voice than before.
“I understand… you wouldn’t be able to go back from it. Might make your future ‘relationships’ less interesting.” Twilight said.
“Yeah. That.” Dash nodded.
“I guess no one wants to join in… Oh well I’m up for putting on a show.” Ark said, kissing Twilight on the lips.
Twilight closed her eyes and slid a hand into Ark’s pants, slipping his dick out the top of them for all to see as she stroked it.
Ark shifted around and put himself into a more exposing position.
“Up close that is…” Rarity mumbled to herself as she stared intently at them.
“Yeah… I can see why you said that…” Dash mumbled.
Fluttershy covered her reddening face and shut her eyes.
Ark lightly grasped Twilight’s breasts through her shirt and started to play with them.
“Whether we want it or not… we’re all getting a show..." AJ sighed.
Twilight moaned and started to take her clothes off.
Ark helped her strip and teasingly kissed her at the base of her horn.
Twilight’s mouth fell open as magic sparked from the tip of her horn and fell onto his mouth, tingling slightly.
Ark grasped her horn and started stroking and massaging it with the skill of someone who’s spent most of their life masturbating. He started peppering her breasts and neck with kisses as he used his other hand to slowly rub her labia and clit.
“Phhslmaah…” Twilight sputtered, drooling as her magic sparked uncontrollably at random.
“That’s…” Dash said, stifling a slight laugh.
“Rar-” AJ stopped as she saw Rarity was calmly watching Ark and Twilight while playing with one of her own breasts. “Yeah…”
Ark pressed his lips to Twilight’s as he stopped stroking her horn and pulled her fully onto his lap. His erect dick slid in between her ass cheeks. He pulled back, “How do you want to do this?” He asked softly, running a hand through her hair. “I feel you should stay right here on my lap…” He suggested in a whispered tone.
“I’m staying right where I belong… with you.” Twilight kissed him as deep as possible and closed her eyes.
His eyes closed and he wrapped his arms completely around her.
Twilight’s magic lifted her own hips up and impaled herself on his length, shivering as it slid into her slit down to the hilt.
Ark moaned into her mouth and he started thrusting up causing her to bounce on his lap.
“I’d be more surprised if this didn’t already happen…” Dash said.
Twilight whispered something to Ark.
Ark smiled and whispered something back.
“What are you two whispering about?” Dash questioned.
Twilight’s magic engulfed Dash and forced her onto her back, her head dangling off the edge of the seat.
“What the…” Dash mumbled. Her mouth was forced open by the magic and Twilight motioned Ark towards her.
“Why don’t we give that mouth something to do.” Twilight said as she raised herself off of Ark’s dick with a grunt.
“Twilight… are you… sure this is… a good thing to be doing?” Applejack asked.
“Oh don’t worry you’re next.” Twilight smiled, slapping Ark on the ass as he stood up.
“And I’m outright sayin no to that.” AJ said.
“Okay then.” Ark shrugged.
Dash was now hungrily eying Ark’s dick as it fully came into her view.
“Don’t worry AJ it looks like Dash doesn’t mind all that much.” Rarity said.
“You’re th-” AJ stopped as she saw Rarity was now reading a book.
“I finished a minute ago darling.” Rarity said.
Ark chuckled slightly before he started sliding his dick into Dash’s mouth.
Dash started running her tongue around his entire shaft, licking Twilight’s juices off of every inch of his member.
“Nnn…” Ark moaned.
Twilight made her way down to Dash’s lower half and slowly took Dash’s pants off. She kneeled down between Dash’s legs and slid her tongue around the underwear and into her slit.
Dash moaned around Ark’s dick and started to swallow.
“Oh… oh fuck…” Ark mumbled.
Twilight’s breath ran over Dash’s crotch as her magic tore the underwear apart, quickly replacing it with her face.
Dash’s already muffled moans were further muffled as Ark was fully hilted in her throat.
“Nnah.. There…” He said, panting slightly.
Twilight tilted her head down and without warning, impaled her horn into Dash’s pussy.
Dash yelped and her snout bashed into Ark’s sack.
Twilight’s mouth fell open as she started panting, thrusting her horn in and out at a teasing pace.
“That’s… new…” Rarity mumbled.
“Nnnnag… fu…” Ark mumbled as Dash’s throat muscles further rippled around his dick.
Twilight moved her ass around and looked back at Rarity with what little movement her head could make due to the horn still shoved firmly in Dash’s plot.
“Why not?” Rarity asked as she stood up and walked behind Twilight.
Twilight bit her lit as a sudden surge of magic shot directly into Dash’s snatch and practically electrocuted the blue pony’s lower half.
Rainbow Dash’s scream of pleasure was completely cut off as Ark started thrusting in to her throat.
Rarity pressed her horn against Twilight’s pussy before shoving it into her. “Ooohh… this is… aaamazing…” She moaned.
Twilight moaned loudly, unconsciously grinding her hips around as she stirred her own horn around Dash’s soaked honey pot.
Rarity slowly moved her horn in and out of Twilight’s pussy, moaning with every shudder of her body.
Ark grunted as he thrust roughly into Dash’s throat, his balls slapped against her nose giving her a breath full of his musk.
Twilight vigorously fondled her own breasts as her magic spread around Dash’s crotch, massaging it with her warmth and tugging on her clit.
Dash’s pussy started to twitch and quiver as her orgasm neared.
Ark gave a few more thrusts before he held himself completely in her throat. His dick twitched and he began to shoot long threads of his cum down into her stomach.
Rarity’s magic sparked to life and Twilight’s crotch was flooded with a warm and tingling sensation.
Twilight’s eyes shot open as her horn flooded the room with a blinding light, sending everyone but her and Dash to the wall.
Ark still in midorgasm managed to splatter cum across most of the room, a little managing to land on everyone. When the others regained their senses from a sudden orgasm that had spread to everyone, they saw Dash’s stomach was extremely bloated, and Twilight’s tongue was dangling from her mouth.
“That… that was strange…” AJ mumbled as she wiped the little bit of cum that had landed on her off.
“I’m not complaining… that felt amazing.” Rarity said.
Ark after a moment managed to push himself up. “I didn’t even know that could happen.” He said as he slowly walked over to Twilight and Dash. He slowly separated the two of them.
Dash went limp and fell onto the floor face first, her stomach managing to keep the rest of her body up.
“Dahhh…” Twilight babbled incoherently.
Ark picked Twilight up and sat down with her, “I’m glad you enjoyed that so much.” He chuckled, running his hand through her hair.
Twilight’s eyes closed and she went limp, falling into Ark.
Ark kissed her forehead. “That’s it just sleep…” He said softly.
Dash twitched slightly, the magic in her preventing her to come down from the peak of her last orgasm.
“Oh… that can’t be good.” Ark said.
“Well wake Twilight up so we can get Dash out of that!” AJ said.
As Ark moved his hand up, Twilight took his thumb into her mouth.
“Awww…” Ark smiled.
“That’s really cute…” Rarity giggled.
“Waking her up can wait.” Ark said as he watched Twilight sleep.
“Dlllspph…” Dash sputtered and drooled.
Nightfall At Ponyville:
Ark stepped onto the train platform with Twilight still curled up in his arms. “Home at last.” He smiled.
AJ was carrying a still mostly out of it Dash on her shoulders. “I hope she’ll be alright by tomorrow…” She said.
“Dphhhhnnl…” Dash mumbled.
“I wouldn’t worry… I mean sleep cures a lot of things.” Ark said.
“What are ya gonna tell me it can heal all wounds?” AJ asked sarcastically.
“Nooooo… that’s just stupid… why would it do that?” Ark asked.
AJ just stared at Ark.
“I bet she’s just fatigued. Sleep helps with that.” Ark said.
As they all continued onto the platform there was a sudden burst of magical energy.
“What was that?” Ark questioned.
“Me.” A calming female voice said behind them.
Everyone turned around to see Luna standing there clearly having just teleported in.
“I expected to visit you all after you had gotten home… I didn’t think train rides were interesting enough to ride it twice around.” Luna chuckled.
“Princess.” Rarity said.
“It’s nice seein ya Princess.” AJ said.
“Likewise.” Luna smiled.
“It’s good seeing you again.” Ark said with a small smile.
“So much talking…” Twilight mumbled sleepily as she started to wake up.
“It’s nice to see you too Twilight.” Luna chuckled.
Twilight stiffened up for a moment before her head snapped to Luna a wide smile plastered across it, “Princess Luna! I didn’t know you were coming for a visit!” She said happily.
“Oh? And do I have to announce every time I take a step?” Luna asked, raising an eyebrow.
“No! I just didn’t expect to see you outside of Canterlot!” Twilight said quickly.
Luna laughed quietly. “I’m only joking.” She said, opening her arms for a hug.
Twilight got out of Ark’s arms and quickly ran up to Luna and hugged her. “I’m so happy that you’re here.” She said.
“The feeling is mutual. It’s always good to see a friend like you.” Luna said.
“Why don’t you come back to my house with us? I’d love to talk with you.” Twilight said.
“That sounds perfect.” Luna nodded.
“I’ll go get started with the food and drinks then.” Ark said before he rushed back to the house.
“So Twilight… why don’t you tell me of your recent escapades?” Luna laughed.
“I’d be happy to.” Twilight smiled.
“And Dash ended up flooded completely with magic. Thankfully she’ll be alright.” Twilight said.
“I see you’ve been busy…” Luna said, feebly attempting to hide the red mixed in with the dark blue of her face.
“Mmhm. ” Twilight nodded, as she looked into the kitchen at him a slightly worried look did cross her face. She sighed quietly before she looked back at Luna.
“Something the matter?” Luna asked.
“I’ve just been a little worried about Ark… The last time we slept and I woke up I noticed he was shivering… but we were so wrapped up together under the blankets that he couldn’t have been cold…” Twilight said.
Luna glanced into the kitchen before looking back to Twilight. “If I told you I had visited his dreams once, and they weren’t as pleasant as yours or mine… What would you say?” She asked.
“I’d want to help him then.” Twilight said.
“It seems he is wracked with guilt of his life before he met you. His antipathy is great, hating the man he used to be and the lives countlessly wasted…” Luna said.
“I still want to help him… in anyway I can…” Twilight said quietly. “Even if it’s something… I don’t understand.”
“I’m sure just being with him is the best thing you can do until he is ready you talk about it.” Luna said.
“Celestia once told me… the best way to deal with a fear is right at its’ source.” Twilight said.
“But getting to the source isn’t always easy.” Luna said.
“Yeah…” Twilight nodded.
Ark came out of the kitchen with a tray of food, “Food’s done.” He said as he sat the tray down on the table in front of the two of them. “If either of you need anything don’t hesitate to ask.” He smiled.
“Why don’t you take a seat?” Luna suggested.
Ark took a seat beside Twilight and wrapped an arm over her shoulders.
Twilight looked over at Ark before she laid her head down on his shoulder.
“So Ark, how have you been doing?” Luna asked.
“Great. How have you been?” Ark said.
“Just fine… The night holds great mysteries, but even I have to admit it gets lonely sometimes.” Luna sighed.
“I wouldn’t doubt that… but sometimes being alone give you time to learn about everything around you.” Ark said.
“True.” Luna nodded.
“I know that it won’t always be lonely. I’m sure you’ll find someone who will be there with you all the time.” Ark said.
“Thank you for the thought.” Luna smiled.
“If you wanted to stay the night I don’t mind.” Twilight said. “I’m sure I can stay awake all night long.”
“You did get a lot of sleep on the train.” Ark chuckled. “And you were so cute while you were doing it.”
Twilight stared at Ark.
“You did start to nibble on my thumb right after the mini-orgy that happened…” He teased.
Twilight’s face turned slightly red and she looked down at the ground.
“You two do seem adorable together…” Luna laughed.
Ark smiled and kissed Twilight’s cheek.
“Thanks…” Twilight mumbled.
“So what’s this about… orgies?” Luna asked, scooting closer.
“For once I’m going to hang back out of it… I haven’t had any sleep since last night.” Ark yawned.
“Yeah… You need it.” Twilight said, nuzzling against Ark.
Ark smiled and closed his eyes as he laid back on the couch. After a few moments it was clear that he had fallen asleep.
“Luna could you… show me a few things?” Twilight asked.
“Like what?” Luna asked curiously.
“I’ve been wondering about the magic that you use to get into other’s dreams.” Twilight said bluntly.
“And? What about it?” Luna questioned.
“Could you show me how to use it?” Twilight asked.
“I see you wish to see his dreams for yourself.” Luna said with an almost saddened smiled.
“Yes… I do.” Twilight nodded.
“Very well. but if you’re planning on using it to… mm, never mind.” Luna shook her head.
“I promise I won’t use it on anyone who wouldn’t want me to.” Twilight said.
Luna laughed. “Oh Twilight… that’s not what I meant. It’s not as if I haven’t seen your dreams unknowingly.” She said, eyeing Twilight.
Twilight nervously chewed on her lip.
“Well then… let us begin.” Luna started.
Luna found herself in what appeared to be the same field as the previous dream Ark had. This time not only was Twilight with her but the entire field appeared almost untouched, wheat and barely grew all around them alongside a mixture of other crops. In a large circular clearing an armored Ark sat calmly in the center a long sword planted firmly in the ground in front of him.
“This isn’t what I expected to be seeing…” Twilight said quietly. “Should… we get closer?”
“Should you choose to, I cannot stop you.” Luna said.
Twilight closed her eyes for a moment before she walked forward towards Ark. As she approached the wall of the clearing the sky seemed to fade slowly to dusk. When she entered the clearing Ark’s head turned to her.
“Twilight… what are you doing here?” He asked curiously, no anger detectable in his voice.
“I… I just wanted to see… if you were okay.” Twilight said.
“I’m fine.” He said, patting the ground beside himself.
Twilight quickly sat down beside him and stared at him silently.
“I’m sure you have plenty of questions about what’s going on.” Ark said in a half joking manner. “I can give you the short answer if you want.”
“Whatever makes you comfortable.” Twilight shrugged.
“I don’t know.” Ark said as he looked back up at the sky. “You know, as peaceful as it may seem this place isn’t that for me… well it wasn’t.”
“You seem much happier with me… So I think I already knew that.” Twilight said.
“In the short time I’ve known yo- Okay… I’m not that cheesy.” Ark laughed.
“That’s fine… I can go make some nachos.” Twilight joked.
Ark chuckled before he gently grabbed her hand. “You want to know something?” He asked.
“Sure?” Twilight said.
“As overly cliche as this will sound and… trust me I’ve lived my fair share of them so far… before I came here.. well to Equestria… I had the same nightmare Luna found me in every night since the day it happened… and look at what’s happened now…” He said, motioning to the surreal calm that surrounded them. “And I know it’s because of you.”
Twilight smiled and wrapped her arms around him.
Ark returned the embrace. “I love you so much…” He said.
“I love you too.” Twilight said softly, closing her eyes as she nuzzled against him.
“I was going to do something here… but just for the sake of getting settled down I feel it should wait a little longer…” He said quietly. “And don’t worry… you’ll love the surprise…”
Twilight stared at him with a growing curiosity burning in her eyes.
Ark smiled, “It’s a surprise.” He said.
“Well surprise me then…” She whispered, climbing into Ark’s lap.
Ark kissed her and held her tightly. “Dream sex… that’s a new one even on me…” He chuckled, Twilight now found she was against his naked body.
“Mm… Why don’t we give Luna a show?” Twilight asked.
Twilight woke up to find herself alone in her bed. After a moment the scent of breakfast being cooked wafted into her nostrils. She stumbled to her feet and bolted downstairs.
“Morning Twilight.” Spike waved as she entered the kitchen.
“Morning sweetie.” Ark smiled as he looked back at her.
“How’d you two sleep?” Twilight smiled, yawning as she sat down at the kitchen table.
“Great.” Ark said.
“Gr-” Spike stopped and his eyes widened.
“What’s wrong?” Ark asked turning to face him.
Spike belched out fire and it quickly turned into a package.
“Whoa. That’s a first.” Twilight said.
“One… one more…” Spike mumbled before he belched out another string of fire, this one turning into a letter.
“Who’s it from?” Ark asked curiously.
“Celestia.” Spike said with a small groan, handing the package to Twilight. She opened it and looked at the book that was contained inside before taking the letter and reading it.
“Looks pretty old.” Ark said as he looked at the book. “So what is it?”
“A book.” Spike said bluntly.
“I know that. But I mean what kind of book?” Ark asked.
“Ooooo…” Twilight said excitedly as she opened the book.
Ark walked up behind Twilight and peeked over her shoulder, “What’s in it?” He asked curiously.
“Starswirl’s journal.” Twilight said bluntly as she continued to read through the pages.
“Oh.” Ark said. “And… who is he?”
“Yeah it’s next to the milk…” Twilight mumbled, seeming completely focused on reading.
“Alrighty then…” Ark sighed as he walked back over to the stove.
“Twilight… I don’t think Ark knows who Starswirl is…” Spike said as he poked her shoulder a few times.
Twilight’s arm extended, pointing to a section of her library.
“Mmm I’ll check later.” Ark said, waving his hand dismissively. “Aaannnd the eggs are done.” He dumped the eggs onto a plate and put them down on the center of the table.
Twilight looked up from the book. “Sorry what were we talking about?” She asked.
“Nothing just go back to reading.” Ark smiled. leaning over the journal and kissing her on the lips.
“Mm… okay.” Twilight smiled, her eyes shifting back to the book.
Ark picked up the letter and looked it over. “Oh so there’s an uncompleted spell inside it?” He questioned aloud. “Sounds interesting.”
“Oh cool! Twilight are you gonna try to finish it?” Spike asked excitedly.
“I’m gonna try.” Twilight nodded.
“And we’re going to be right here for you.” Ark smiled.
“When are you going to start?” Spike asked.
Twilight looked at Spike with a straight up unimpressed look.
“Yeah today, I know.” Spike rolled his eyes.
“I’ll go get some paper.” Ark said.
“I’ll get the pencils.” Spike said.
About half the day later:
“Any luck yet?” Ark asked as he sat down beside Twilight and handed her a glass of water.
“Please stop talking.” Twilight mumbled.
Ark sighed, “Okay. Love you too.” He said.
“Pizza.” Twilight nodded.
Ark chuckled and put his head on her shoulder as he looked down at her progress.
“Twilight!” Spike called. “Dash just arrived and she wants to see you!”
“Hey Twilight, whatcha doin?” Dash asked as she pushed past Spike and walked into the house.
“She’s busy deciphering and completing a spell.” Ark said.
“Yeah…” Twilight nodded, taking a drink of water.
“How’s it going?” Dash asked.
“Same as ten minutes ago.” Ark said, gently wrapping his arms around Twilight’s stomach. “I can’t help but feel that… something’s missing.”
“Oh yeah!” Twilight smiled, turning back and looking into Ark’s eyes. “Is the food done I’m starving.”
“I’ll go get you some.” Ark said as he let go of her and stood up, walking right into the kitchen.
“I don’t know much about magic but…” Dash started.
“Hm?” Twilight said, glancing up at Dash.
“It looks like there’s some sort of pattern between theses two pages…” Dash said motioning to the two pages.
“Eh it’s probably nothing.” Twilight waved dismissively.
“Alright. Just thought it might be worthwhile.” Dash shrugged.
The emotion from Twilight’s face slowly slipped away as she stared at the two pages.
“What’s wrong?” Dash asked.
“Dash you need to live here.” Twilight said, picking up the book and rushing over to one of the shelves, glancing at a few books before rushing back and writing something down.
Ark walked out of the kitchen with a tray of food, “Did I miss something?” He asked.
“I think I just helped Twilight figure it out.” Dash said.
“Oh.” Ark said.
Twilight stood up and yanked Dash into a kiss before sitting down and writing.
“Wh… what?” Dash mumbled, taken slightly aback by the sudden kiss.
“What happened on that train is nothing compared to what I’m going to do to you.” Twilight said happily.
“Um… yeah… I’ve got to go to work… and… See you!” Dash waved as she took off out the door.
“Okay… um… did you need anything else?” Ark asked.
Twilight stood up and slipped her pants down, bending over the table and continuing to work.
“Ah.” Ark said as he pulled his own pants down and got up behind her. He began to grind himself against her pussy. “Do you have any idea what the spell could do once it’s cast?” He asked.
“Nope. And that’s what’s exciiiting.” Twilight said with an extended sigh.
“I’m not too worried… I’m sure that Celestia wouldn’t send you something that could end up killing you.” Ark said as he pushed his dick into her.
“Mm I’m just trying to think what it…” Twilight started, her breathing getting a little faster.
Ark chuckled a little as he leaned down and looked down over her shoulder, his thrusting never ceasing. “Happy I’m here to help with that…” He said. “Maybe you should… gah… try opening up…”
“Already done that…” Twilight said.
Ark grabbed Twilight’s free hand.
“What was that… for…” Twilight panted.
“I just wanted to…” Ark said, planting a kiss on her cheek.
“Is everything going alri-” Spike stopped as he saw the way the two of them were bent over. “Really?!?”
“Mmhm.” Ark nodded.
Spike cautiously walked up to the table, “It’s… from Celestia.” He said as he put a letter down on the table.
“I’m sure it can wait a few more minutes.” Ark said with a quiet sigh.
“We… might as well look… at it since we’ve nothing better to do.” Twilight said.
“Mmhm… You might not, but I certainly have the best thing ever to do… You…” Ark whispered, squeezing her hand a little more.
“Ooh...such a...romantic…” Twilight moaned while opening the letter.
“Looks like it’s just… a cypher for the journal… too bad Dash helped you crack the code earlier…” Ark chuckled.
“It just gives… us extra time to develop and...test the spell.” Twilight said.
“Can’t… wait…” Ark said, “Since… the train ride I’ve been thinking about something…”
“Oh? What… is it?” Twilight asked.
“Well… About having kids.” Ark said. “I know with you I’m more than open to the idea of it…”
“Oh my…. Well, with anyone…. else, I would have to think about it for a...long time...but with you… I know the answer… is yes…”Twilight said, her body shaking in ecstasy.
“We’re going to be… great parents…” Ark said, “Nnng… I’m almost there…”
“Cum...Inside of me...Ark…” Twilight said.
Ark pushed forward until his hips met hers and he let out a relaxed sigh, load after load of his hot, thick seed being shot right into her waiting depths. “I love you so much Twilight…” He said softly, gently nipping her ear. “And no matter what… I always will.”
“Ooohh… Oh Ark… Ark I’m… I'm getting an idea... Faster! FASTER IT'S COMING! IT'S ALMOST HERE I GOT IT YES!" Twilight shrieked out in ecstasy.
“Glad… I could help…” Ark smiled as he laid his head down on her shoulder and hugged her closer. “Why don’t you test it out if it’s finished?”
“Here… it… goes…” Twilight panted. Her horn lit up as she cast the spell.
The elements of harmony started glowing brightly too and after a few moments of that glowing Twilight vanished out from underneath Ark causing him to fall face first into the table.
“Gah… what the hell…” Ark mumbled.
“What happened?!?” Spike questioned as he ran into the room.
“Whatever the spell did…” Ark mumbled.
Meanwhile in an unknown place:
“Twilight… wake up…” Celestia said softly into Twilight’s ear.
“Huh… what…” Twilight mumbled groggily.
“I see you were a little busy.” Celestia laughed, glancing down at the cum drooling from her nethers.
“Oh god I’m still half naked…” Twilight groaned.
“I don’t think there are any pants here.” Celestia said.
“Where is here?” Twilight asked curiously.
“Limbo. You’re dead Twilight.” Celestia said.
“Wha… I didn’t think he was that rough…” Twilight mumbled.
“The spell, I should have warned you that there’s a chance you will be disintegrated… Oh well.” Celestia shrugged.
Twilight remained silent for a moment before she fainted out of shock. A few stray tears ran down her face as they were finally let free.
Celestia’s smile faded slowly. “Twilight?” She questioned.
Twilight opened her eyes and found herself in the same spot she had passed out in. “O… oh… so it was… true…” She sniffled.
“Twilight I was joking…” Celestia said with a dry laugh.
“R… really?” Twilight asked quickly, instantly looking up at Celestia.
“Fainting would have been the last thing I’d expect you to do.” Celestia said, raising an eyebrow.
“Well… there’s a reason for that… I’d just… rather not relate the details…” Twilight mumbled.
“Aside from what just happened, I’m happy you’re here.” Celestia smiled.
“Thanks… what did the spell do though? Other than teleport me here…” Twilight said.
“It tells me that you’re ready.” Celestia said.
“Please don’t tell me you suddenly grew…” Twilight started.
“Only during a full moon.” Celestia said. She looked in a direction for a moment. “No no, not quite that yet.”
Twilight blinked a few times, “His first.” She said.
Celestia raised an eyebrow. “Excuse me?” She asked.
“Nothing…” Twilight said quickly, “What am I now ready for?”
“No no, what do you mean ‘his first’?” Celestia questioned.
“Um…” Twilight mumbled, “I may have said…” Her last few words were too quiet for Celestia to understand.
“Twilight.” Celestia stated.
“I told Ark that I want to have his kids.” Twilight said loudly.
Celestia remained quiet for a few moments. “And the words were true?” She asked.
“Yes!” Twilight nodded vigorously.
“Well I trust the next time he sees you, you will be quite preoccupied.” Celestia smiled widely.
“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.
“This wont hurt I promise.” Celestia said calmly.
Twilight’s eyes widened, “Wh… what?” She mumbled almost fearfully.
“I realize it was just a joke, but you couldn’t have been any more right.” Celestia said, stripping her clothes off to reveal a lengthy shaft growing to match the hefty sack underneath.
“Oh… my… god…” Twilight mumbled as she stared at Celestia’s cock.
“I’m glad you ‘came’ prepared.” Celestia smirked, pressing herself against Twilight.
“Um… P...Princess… what…” Twilight mumbled, her eyes widening even more as she already knew the answer.
“This must happen Twilight, there is no other way.” Celestia said with her usual warm smile.
“Okay.” Twilight said, still a little shaky as she started to relax.
“Now this will work better if you’re on your knees.” Celestia said.
Twilight quickly got down onto her knees.
“Good, now why don’t you start it off. But once we enter phase two… I’ll have to take charge.” Celestia said, crossing her arms and staring at Twilight.
Twilight nodded as she grabbed her mentor’s massive meat stick and started stroking it with both hands.
“Mm that’s it, use whatever means you want to get me to the edge.” Celestia said softly.
Twilight closed her eyes as she put her lips to Celestia’s tip and started licking it.
Celestia smiled and ran her hand tenderly through Twilight’s hair. “I can tell you’ve been practicing.” She teased.
Twilight’s blush grew brighter as she took the head into her mouth, her tongue constantly circling it.
“I knew you were truly my most faithful, AND talented student.” Celestia cooed and moaned.
Twilight gagged a little as she started sucking Celestia’s cock deeper into her throat, her head bobbing back and forth as she sucked on the throbbing, thick, tool in her mouth.
“Swift and skillful as always…” Celestia panted, her length twitching and throbbing as her face grew a light shade of red.
Twilight started to swallow around Celestia’s dick causing her throat muscles to ripple around it. Both her hands shot down and started to massage and knead her sack.
“Twilight you’re… almost through with your final exam.” Celestia groaned loudly.
Twilight moaned quietly around Celestia’s cock and started squeezing her balls a little more as she continued to move her head back and forth forcing it deeper down her throat.
“It’s time Twilight!” Celestia bellowed. She backed up and forced Twilight onto her hands and knees, immediately shoving her length back into Twilight’s mouth, slowly pushing it inch by inch down her throat.
Twilight’s eyes shot wide open and she started to choke and gag on the massive member now hilted in her throat.
Celestia gripped the back of Twilight’s head and held it still as Twilight’s tongue lapped across her swelling balls. “Just a little longer…” She gasped.
Twilight squeezed Celestia’s balls a little more as her tongue continued to dart across them.
Celestia’s grip tightened as a thick stream of cum started pouring into Twilight’s stomach. “Can’t let any… get out…” She moaned quietly.
Twilight downed Celestia's cum without the slightest resistance.
“You catch on quick… I’m glad you’re accepting this so openly.” Celestia sighed blissfully as she stroked her hand through Twilight’s hair and released her head.
Twilight drank down the last of the cum before trying to pull back. Celestia’s hand quickly grabbed the back of Twilight’s head and forced her back to the hilt. “I’m sorry Twilight but you must stay.” She said sternly.
Twilight started to choke as the lack of air completely hit her.
“There is still more to be given, and another part to what must be done… Don’t fight it, sleep my faithful student.” Celestia said calmly, her shaft starting to twitch again.
Twilight tried to struggle before finally sucumbing to the lack of air and passing out.
“That’s right, let me do the rest.” Celestia said.
Meanwhile:
“I’m starting to get really worried…” Ark said as he put his head in his hands.
“I’m sure she’s fine. Knowing her, she’s probably just teleported to some tropical island. That’s a great way for the princess to say she needs a break. ‘Here Twilight, solve this spell and see what happens when you use it.” Dash said, leaning back into the chair.
“Yeah… but that doesn’t explain why those stones were glowing.” Ark said, motioning to the case the Elements were still in.
“Mm… maybe they…” Dash mumbled, scratching her head.
“Maybe the spell fixed something that was wrong with them?” Fluttershy said quietly.
“Yeah. I’m sure that’s what it did.” Spike nodded. “You know what… I need a drink.” He walked away from the group and into the kitchen.
“Yeah… I guess that could have been what it did…” Ark said quietly.
“Of course it is, isn’t it obvious? That’s totally it. Now can we stop worrying about her and do something? I’m boooored.” Dash groaned.
“It’s easy for you to stop worrying.” Ark said, looking up at Dash.
“It would be easy for YOU to stop worrying if you STOPPED WORRYING! Find something to get your mind off it. Why don’t we all do something that isn’t sitting here?” Dash said.
“Yes… it is stupid of me to worry about someone I love.” Ark said sarcastically.
“I swear I’m going to punch you if you keep that up.” Dash said.
“Um…” Fluttershy mumbled.
“What’s up?” Ark asked, his attention snapping right to Fluttershy.
“I… I dunno…” Fluttershy shrugged.
“Can I tell you both something and trust that you won’t tell Twilight?” Ark asked quietly.
Fluttershy and Dash looked at Ark for a moment before nodding.
“I was planning on proposing to her soon…” Ark said quietly.
Fluttershy cracked a smile that only grew with every passing second, seeming to be holding back a scream.
“That’s…” Dash started.
Fluttershy stared at Dash silently for a moment, only for the two of them to start squealing and giggling.
Ark smiled a little, “It’s great that you two are supportive of the idea.” He said. “I’m just wondering when to do it…”
“Why not at her coronation?” Celestia suggested as she appeared at the top of the stairs leading to Twilight’s room.
The room fell dead silent.
“Coronation?” Spike questioned.
Celestia just smiled.
“Oh… my… gosh… she’s a princess now!?!?!” Dash questioned excitedly.
Ark silently stared at Celestia.
“She’s right upstairs.” Celestia smiled as she stepped to the side.
Ark darted up the stairs and the bedroom door flew shut behind him.
Chapter 10: My Little Twilicorn
Ark cradled Twilight’s sleeping body against his own and slowly looked over her new wings. He gently ran his hand across one of them and felt the downy softness of them and a smile crossed his face.
Twilight’s eyes opened slowly, a smile breaching her face as she felt Ark’s gentle touch on her body. “Morning.” She stretched.
“More of good afternoon.” Ark chuckled as he kissed her cheek, “Did you sleep well princess?”
“Mm perfectly well… I love it when you rub my w-” Twilight paused, her entire body going still.
“You’re wings are so soft…” Ark said softly as he continued to ran his hands down her wings.
“What the fuck?” Twilight blurted as she saw the wings on her back.
“Whatever the spell did it looks like you’re now like Celestia, Luna, and Cadence… wings and a horn.” Ark said, “And... well, the last part’s nothing new.”
“Why??” Twilight asked, an expression of confusion on her face as she stared at her wings, watching them twitch.
“Why what?” Ark asked.
Twilight literally reeled her hand back and slapped Ark across the face.
“What the hell!” Ark shouted as he rubbed his cheek and pulled back from her.
“Seriously! Wings! This is not normal. Am I a mutant?” Twilight said in almost a panic.
“Why would that matter?” Ark asked, sounding slightly confused.
“You’re stupid!” Twilight shouted, jumping up and rushing to a book, opening it and writing something down. “Tell me how it happened, what you saw… I need to write things down!”
“Well you vanished for SEVERAL hours… and I only found you like this two hours ago after Celestia came downstairs and told us that you have a coronation coming up.” Ark said. “I didn’t stay to hear the rest because I was just excited that you were alright… So… sorry…” He looked down at the ground.
“Disappeared for several hours… appeared in a strange void of constellations…” Twilight started as she wrote.
“What are you talking about… a strange void of constellations?” Ark questioned as he got off the bed and sat down beside her. “What happened to you there?”
“Then Celestia approached me and pulled…” Twilight stopped, her face turning bright red.
“Twilight?” Ark asked.
“Um…” Twilight mumbled.
“Twilight what happened.” Ark said.
“I don’t know if I… want…” Twilight said quietly.
“Whatever happened… you’re safe and that’s what matters to me. As long as I didn’t lose you anything could have happened and I know it won’t bother me.” Ark said, wrapping her in a tight hug.
“I think we had sex.” Twilight said.
“Wh-” Ark stopped himself and just hugged her a little tighter. “That’s even stranger then coming up here to find you with wings.”
“It was just a blow job don’t worry.” Twilight said quickly.
“Only fair… I did throat fuck Dash so why shouldn’t you allowed to suck another gu- someone else’s dick?” Ark corrected himself.
“No… hers.” Twilight said.
“What?” Ark questioned as the realization finally hit him.
“She uh… I um… deep throated her until I passed out. Then I woke up here.” Twilight said.
“W… what?” Ark repeated still in disbelief.
“I’ll have to um… see some of her sperm to see… how it’s magical properties are… magical…” Twilight mumbled.
“I think if it caused you to grow wings it’s pretty damn magical.” Ark said.
“I’m curious.” Twilight said.
Ark sighed, “And I know I won’t be able to stop you from doing it with her again.” He said.
“Just for science!” Twilight said quickly.
“I completely understand that.” Ark said.
“Great.” Twilight said, scooting into Ark’s lap and hugging him.
Ark smiled a little and kissed her, “I missed you.” He said quietly.
“I missed you too.” Twilight smiled, clinging tightly to him.
“These new wings and your ‘new’ title don’t matter at all to me.” Ark said.
“Well they matter to me!” Twilight said, taken back by the words. “Are you serious?”
“No! No! You don’t know what I mean.” Ark said quickly.
“Oh my god you don’t even.” Twilight started, standing up and pacing around the room.
“Twilight please just listen to me…” Ark said in a pleading tone.
“And the coronation… I need to prepare! How do you even prepare for that?” Twilight groaned.
Ark stood up, “Are you even going to try to listen to what I have to say?” He questioned.
Twilight stopped at turned to him. “What?” She snapped.
“I was going to say… none of it matters to me because it doesn’t change a thing.” Ark said.
“Why not?” She questioned.
“Because you’ve always been MY princess.” He said.
Twilight stared hard at him for a few moments before her entire body relaxed, a smile widening on her face. “I’m going to hit you so hard.” She said.
He walked up to her and hugged her against his body, “Then go ahead.” He smiled.
“Later.” She said, pulling his head down and kissing him.
He grasped one of her new wings and started to sensually stroke it.
Twilight’s entire body tensed up and she let out a shrill scream.
“Holy damn you’re sensitive.” Ark chuckled.
Twilight shook before tumbling to the floor, her back arching as her pants started to drip from a sudden orgasm. Her entire body twitches uncontrollably and her eyes rolled back.
“You… okay?” Ark asked uncertainly.
Twilight gasped and started digging her fingernails into the floor as she writhed in a second orgasm, kicking her feet rapidly.
Ark stepped back slightly, “Um… that’s… beyond sensitive now…” He mumbled.
Twilight’s horn sparked brightly and random objects around the house started to break and explode.
“WHAT THE HELL’S GOING ON!” Spike shouted from downstairs.
Ark instantly got down beside Twilight and took her horn into his mouth.
Twilight’s face twisted into utter bliss as her hands clamped around Ark’s head and held it there. Her legs wrapped around his waist and she clung to him tightly.
Ark closed his eyes and started sucking on her horn.
Twilight’s nethers twitched from another orgasm as her magic flooded out of Ark’s mouth and nose.
Ark’s now fully hardened dick pressed through his pants and against her stomach.
“I looooove yooou.” Twilight moaned.
Ark moaned around her horn and lightly grinded his hips against her.
“Ohhh Ark… Fill me fuck me fuck me fuck meeeeee!” She said, nearly screaming it as she dug her nails into his back.
Ark pulled back from her horn and tore both his own and her clothing apart. After her breasts where uncovered he grabbed them both and started squeezing them.
Twilight bit down on her lip and her hips moved up, sliding her pussy back and forth along his shaft.
“Ooh… You’re a whole lot hotter then before…” He half moaned.
“Touch me more… make me moan.” Twilight panted.
Ark let go of her breasts and ran his hands down her wings as he pushed his tip into her pussy.
Twilight let out another high pitched scream and bucked her hips up violently.
He grunted as his entire length was engulfed in her crushingly tight and burning hot pussy. “Nnn…” He moaned. “At… the rate we’re going… you’re going to get pregnant…”
“And they’ll be the most… intelligent… babies.” Twilight grunted, wrapping her arms tightly around him shakily.
Ark pressed his lips to hers as he started roughly thrusting in and out of her.
Twilight’s magic shot to life and engulfed his entire shaft in a vibrating layer of magic that caused the two of them to moan loudly. “Ohhhhhh soooo muchhhh betterrrr…” Twilight slurred.
“Aaalwaysss betteeerrr withh yyooouu…” He slurred, now roughly kneading her breasts again. He leaned his head up and started to shakily lick the base of her horn.
The magic around his cock immediately tightened and her wings twitched uncontrollably. “ARK!” She shrieked as the tightness of her pussy met that of the magic that flared uncontrollably.
Ark plunged deeply into her and came just as she did. Load after load was emptied into her waiting depths.
Twilight’s arms tightened around him as her wings folded around him simultaneously.
Ark was still panting as he kissed her, “This… is…” He mumbled.
“Yes.” Twilight mumbled hazily.
“I… hope you don’t mind… sleeping like this…” He said quietly.
“You don’t get to sleep…” Twilight said.
Ark tightened his grip around her as he kissed her again. “You’re right…” He smiled. “I still have to make sure it takes… and who knows how long that’ll be…”
“Yeah, I wonder what we can do to make sure though.” Twilight said, slowly grinding her hips around. Her magic came to life once more and slid around his hips, forcing him to thrust again.
Chapter 11: Crowing Moment
Five days later:
Two guards and Shining Armor stood inside Twilight’s house.
One of the guards knocked heavily on the bedroom door.
“What!” Twilight’s voice boomed past the door.
“Princess Celestia has sent us to come get you… It’s only another day until your coronation Princess Twilight.” The guard said nervously. “And all of your friends… are worried about you… you haven’t been seen outside of your bedroom since five days ago…”
“And maybe there’s a REASON for that.” Twilight shouted, grunting audibly between every couple words.
“Sir… I don’t think she’s coming out…” The guard said.
“Move out of my way.” Shining ordered as he walked up the steps. “Twilight.”
“No.” Twilight stated.
“Twilight… Celestia wants you to be at Canterlot by this afternoon.” Shining said. “If you aren’t going to come out then we’re going to have to come in…”
“Yes, do that! YES!” Twilight screamed loudly.
Shining grabbed the doorknob and instantly yanked his hand back as a visible spark jumped from it to his hand. “Ow…” He grunted. The three of them heard another ear piercing scream and a surge of magic forced one of the guards tumbling down the stairs.
“What the hell is going on in there?!?” The guard questioned.
“Sex. Something you’ve never experienced by the looks of it.” The second guard joked.
“Knock it off you two and go get the carriage prepped. And… get a medical crew in here.” Shining ordered.
“Sir!” Both of the guards saluted as they rushed out of the house.
“Twilly… Please tell me you’re almost done.” Shining said through the door.
Twilight responded with a moan, followed by some books from downstairs flying off the shelf.
“If you keep going he might not survive.” Shining said, his tone becoming more nervous.
“Do YOU want to?” Twilight groaned.
“I’ll go get Cadence…” Shining said quickly.
The creaking in Twilight’s room stopped.
“Thank God…” Shining sighed. His eyes shot open and he dove to the floor as the bed came through the wall, sending the door tumbling down the stairs.
“GET OUT!” Twilight shrieked.
Shining scrambled to his feet and teleported out of the house. As he made it outside the entire tree vanished.
“Si- What the…” One of the other guards muttered.
“I think… she just erased herself and everything in the house from reality…” Shining mumbled.
“Should… should we alert the princesses?” The other guard asked.
“Yes… I think that’s a great id-” Shining was cut off as the house reappeared.
The front door opened and Twilight walked out, fully clothed with a smile on her face. “Big brother!” She laughed, running over and hugging Shining.
“Hey… Twilly…” Shining said uncertainly. “What… just happened to you?”
“What do you mean? Hey we’re heading to Canterlot right?” Twilight asked.
“You just… diss-... Yes… We are.” Shining sighed. “Is… Arkantos alright?”
“Why don’t you go make sure he’s dressed. I’m so excited!” Twilight giggled as she rushed past him.
Shining motioned the guards inside, they quickly walked upstairs to find Ark passed out on the currently soaked and stained floor.
“Get some clothing on him… and get him down to the doctor so he can make sure nothing’s wrong.” Shining said as he slowly walked back outside.
“That’s so great!” Cadence giggled.
“I know!” Twilight said, her and Cadence’s giggled mixing as they bounced around in a hug.
“What’s great?” Shining asked curiously.
“Should we tell him?” Cadence asked.
“Mm.” Twilight shook her head.
“Now I’m really curious…” Shining said with a growing smile. As he walked towards the two of them a guard ran up.
“Sir he’s woken up! And the doctor has said that nothing’s physically wrong with him.” The guard said.
“That’s great! Let’s get him in the carriage too!” Shining said.
“Does Ark know yet?” Cadence asked in a hushed whisper.
“Nope. Only you and me.” Twilight whispered.
“Hey… Everyone… Sorry if we’re late for the coronation…” Ark said as he slowly walked up to them.
“You… aren’t…” Shining said.
“Really? I could have sworn we were at it for a little over a week…” Ark said, scratching his chin.
“A… a week?” Both Shining and Cadence questioned.
“And… Why was the bed in the living room?” Ark asked, looking at Twilight.
“All very good questions.” Twilight said.
“Yeah…” Ark sighed.
“She threw it at me.” Shining said bluntly.
“You had a fair bit of warning.” Twilight said defensively.
“Yeah I know I did.” Shining sighed, “Come on everyone… lets just get in and get to Canterlot. Before… an entire house gets thrown across town…”
Ark smiled as he wrapped his arms around Twilight, “I have the biggest surprise ever planned.” He said.
“Can’t be better than what I have ready and waiting to… well you’ll see.” Twilight smiled.
“We’ll see…” He said, kissing her cheek. “Even if you beat it out… I still know you’ll love it…”
“Come on you two. Everyone’s waiting for us to get to the castle!” Cadence said, pulling them both into the carriage.
“Let’s get there as soon as possible.” Shining told the driver.
The driver nodded and closed the door behind Shining.
As they entered the throne room Twilight was hug tackled by her friends.
“Twilight you’re here!” Dash said excitedly.
“O’ course she’s here.” AJ smiled.
“I’m happy you two decided to come.” Celestia said as she walked over to the group.
“It’s good to see you all two… but Pinkie… I like air…” Twilight choked.
Pinkie let go of Twilight and giggled.
“So how have you two been enjoying your time?” Celestia asked.
“I think it’s been good, although I can’t speak for him.” Twilight teased, kissing Ark’s cheek.
“I loved it.” Ark smiled.
“And Twilight, that was a masterful use of a time displacement spell.” Celestia smiled.
“Thank you. I’ve been practicing.” Twilight said.
“How long did it last for you two?” Celestia asked.
“A week.” Ark said. “Oh… Um I have to go get something before th-”
“Don’t worry about that Ark. You’ll have plenty of time before tomorrow.” Celestia said, “And you’ll have a budget for it… more so then I guess you could currently afford.”
“Yes we’ll have plenty of ‘time’. I’ll make sure of it.” Twilight grinned, staring at Ark intently.
Ark’s face blanked and he stared silently ahead.
“Oh I’m sure an hour of his time won’t be too much… you still have to get fitted for your dresses.” Celestia said. “Well… Rarity already knows what I mean.”
“Of course I do.” Rarity smiled.
“And I can’t wait.” Twilight said.
“Of course you can’t… and we’re all so excited for it to happen.” Rarity said, “Now come along… I want to make sure the dresses are perfect for you.” She grabbed Twilight’s arm and tugged her towards the doors.
“Now you go run along too Ark.” Celestia said as she shooed Ark off.
“Alright… I’ll probably be back before tonight.” Ark said before he quickly rushed out of the room and the castle.
Later that night:
Ark walked into Twilight’s bedroom to find her laying back on the bed reading a book. “I’m back.” He said.
“And where have you been?” Twilight questioned.
“Being… indecisive…” Ark mumbled.
“Ark.” Twilight stated.
“I was shopping for a certain item…” Ark mumbled, scratching the back of his head as he put his other hand behind his back.
“What would that be?” She asked.
“You’ll find out…” He said. “Soon…”
“Fine.” Twilight sighed.
Ark gave a small smile as he walked over to the desk and set the two small boxes he was carrying down and pushed them out of sight. He quickly got onto the bed and laid down beside her. “So what have you been doing all day… and why is everyone so giddy all of a sudden?” He asked.
“Well when you tell me what you’re hiding I’ll tell you what I’m hiding.” Twilight said.
“Fine… I guess I’ll find out tomorrow then.” He said.
“Okay, be that way.” Twilight huffed.
Ark wrapped his arms around her and snuggled close, “I won’t tell you because I love you.” He said.
“That is the stupidest thing ever.” Twilight said, kissing him.
“You know after that week we spent having continuous sex… A small thought came into my mind.” Ark said.
“What would that be?” She asked curiously.
“We’re both from different species… so what if it isn’t possible for us to normally have children?” He asked.
“I’m sure we’ll b-” She was interrupted.
“You know… That wouldn’t matter to me… I can get over it if I’m with you.” He smiled.
“Yeah… why don’t we ‘get over it’ together?” Twilight chuckled, pressing herself against him.
Ark kissed her, “Let’s save ravishing me for tomorrow… I want to get a little rest…” He said.
“Okay…” Twilight pouted.
Twilight felt him slip her clothing off and shortly after felt his naked body against her own. “You know… the sooner we go to bed the earlier we’ll wake up… and that’ll give us plenty of time to do whatever you want…” He whispered.
She smiled and nuzzled herself closer to his warm body. “Good night…” She said.
“Good night to you too Twi.” Ark smiled as he kissed her forehead.
The next morning:
Ark kissed the still sleeping Twilight.
There was suddenly a series of booming knocks on the bedroom door, “Princess Twilight there’s only an hour until you have to be out on stage!” A guard called.
“AH!” Twilight yelled as she snapped awake, her arms flailing automatically and smacking Ark as she fell from the bed and to the floor.
Ark yelped after he was hit and he went backwards onto the other side of the bed.
“Mnnn I’m up.” Twilight said quickly, jumping to her feet and throwing a pillow at the door just as it opened, hitting the guard directly in the face and sending him backwards from the sudden object colliding with his head. “Naked!” She shouted, her magic slamming the door shut.
“So… am… I…” Ark grunted as he pushed himself up, still gripping his nose.
Twilight rushed over to one of the dressers and started to put her clothes on.
“You should get a dress on…” Ark said.
“Dress, yes.” Twilight nodded, tearing her clothes off again and putting on more formal attire.
“What about underwear?” Ark asked.
“You never wear underwear why don’t we talk about that for once!” Twilight snapped, turning to glare at Ark.
“You’ve destroyed every pair I’ve gott-.” Ark stopped as a very tight set of formal attire appeared on his body.
“Right and can’t forget the underwear.” Twilight said, her magic flashing to life again.
“Nnn…” Ark mumbled. “Why…”
“Let’s go we slept in!” Twilight said, about to rush out of the room.
“Meet… you there… Got to… get something…” Ark said, walking slowly to the desk.
“The time has finally come for your new princess to receive her crown!” Celestia’s voice boomed over the courtyard.
A massive amount of cheering echoed through the yard.
Celestia’s smile beamed as she lifted Twilight’s new crown from the pillow and approached her with it.
Twilight stood there with a half nervous smile as her eyes stayed locked with Celestia’s.
Celestia set the crown on Twilight’s head. Before she could speak Ark fell onto his knees.
“Ark?!” Twilight said, jumping towards him, staring down in confusion.
The entire courtyard fell silent.
Ark looked up at her with a wide smile, a small box in his hand. “I had a speech planned but… I just feel this is better.” He said as he slowly opened the box to reveal a beautiful ring inside. “As bad as it is to do this now… I can’t think of a better time. Twilight will you marry me?”
Twilight stood there silently, her mouth slowly opening to speak as she stared at the ring.
Ark smiled up hopefully at her.
Everyone had fallen into a hushed whisper.
Twilight smiled, nodding slowly as she held her hand out.
Ark slowly took out the ring and slipped it onto her finger.
Twilight moved closer to him, everyone watching noticing the tears on her face.
Ark stood up and wrapped his arms around her.
Twilight pressed against him and stood in the embrace for a few moments before pulling back. She looked around and slowly pulled off the crown.
“Twilight what are you doing?” Ark asked curiously.
Twilight dropped the crown and let it collide with the floor, bouncing and clinking towards the crowd.
“Twilight?” Ark asked again.
All other eyes were on the crown.
“I can be a princess anytime. But for now, I’m your wife…” Twilight said, pushing forward and kissing him.
A small bit of clapping started. It was shortly joined by a thunderous applause.
Ark closed his eyes and pulled her closer and held her tightly as he held the kiss.
Twilight’s wings slowly extended as she melted into him, her eyes closing in tune with his.
Ark pulled back, “Twilight… why don’t we take this back up to our room?” He asked softly.
“That sounds perfect.” Twilight smiled.
Ark laid Twilight down on the bed and cuddled up beside her. “I love you so much.” He said, kissing her again. “Oh… what’s the surprise you had for me?”
“Mm… well I guess now is the perfect time to tell you.” Twilight said, leaning close to Ark.
Ark smiled and hugged her closer, “And I’m right here to listen.” He said.
“That thing you said earlier? About having children…” Twilight started.
“Yeah?” He asked curiously.
“Let’s just say… you won’t have to worry about that too much anymore.” Twilight said, putting a hand to her stomach with a wide grin on her face.
His face blanked for a moment before a smile grew to match hers. “That’s so great!” He said happily. “I just… don’t even… I’m so happy!” He held her closer and kissed her on the lips.
Twilight let out a muffled giggle before pushing him back. “You know I didn’t keep us cooking in that house for a week just for the sex.” She laughed.
“Well the sex was pretty damn great.” He chuckled.
“I won’t disagree. Maybe it was just my bed, I guess we’ll have to test this one out to be sure.” Twilight bit her lip as she stared at him.
“How can I say no to you?” Ark smiled.
“I’d laugh if you’d try.” Twilight said, her magic tearing both of their clothes off.
Ark ran his hands down her body. “And I love you even more for that.” He smiled, kissing her all over.
“Just do it already…” Twilight moaned.
“As you wish my lady.” Ark smiled as he pressed against her entrance.
A few hours later:
“That was…” Ark started.
“I know.” Twilight nodded, snuggling up against him.
“You’re so…” He started.
“I know I am.” She giggled.
“Of course you do.” He smiled, kissing her on the lips.
She closed her eyes and held him in the kiss.
They were only interrupted by a soft knocking on the bedroom door.
“I hope I’m not interrupting but… One of the guards said I’d find my nephew in here.” A male voice said.
Ark stiffened up and pulled back from the kiss.
“Hey!” Twilight pouted.
“Uncle Isaac?” Ark called.
“Ark! It’s so nice to hear your voice!” Isaac said back, a hearty laugh echoing from the other side of the door.
Twilight rolled her eyes and pulled the blankets over her body, “Just come in.” She said.
The door opened up and a very regally dressed man walked in, a warm smile plastered across his face. “So not only am I seeing my nephew but my new niece too? This is a great day!” Isaac said.
Twilight was staring intently at Isaac.
“Is something wrong?” Ark asked, nipping her ear lightly.
Twilight shivered and curled against Ark.
He wrapped his arms around her further blocking her breasts from view.
“Oh don’t worry she’s your wife. I won’t try to take her from you.” Isaac chuckled. “Your proposal reminded me of how your father proposed to your mom… It was so romantic…” He seemed to trail off as he stared at Ark who was focused on kissing Twilight’s neck and cheek.
Twilight’s gaze returned to Isaac and her eyes narrowed.
“Something wrong?” Isaac asked curiously.
Twilight remained quiet.
Isaac smiled a little as his eyes locked with Twilight’s. He stood up slowly and walked out of the room. “Goodbye you two…” He said, waving as he left the room.
“Twi?” Ark asked.
“Nothing… Just… Nothing.” Twilight said, shoving his face down into the pillow.
Ark grabbed her and squeezed her tightly as he started to stroke her wings.
“No! Knock it off!” Twilight said, slapping him harshly across the face.
Ark stared up at her and let go. “Okay…” He mumbled. He rolled over and laid his head down on the pillow.
“I’m going out. I’ll be back later.” Twilight said as she stood up.
Ark remained silent as he stared at the wall.
Twilight sighed and glanced back at him. “I love you.” She said.
“I… Love you too…” He mumbled.
Chapter 12: Falling Apart
Twilight's POV:
I walked up to Cadence and Shining’s room and knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Shining called
I cracked the door open and stepped in.
“Twilly!” Shining smiled widely, rushing over and hugging me tightly.
I smiled and hugged him back, “Hi Shining.” I said squeezing him tightly.
“What’s up?” He asked, sitting back down and motioning me to join him.
“Just… This man showed up… and…” I started.
“The guy claiming to be Ark’s uncle?” Shining asked.
I nodded. “That’s exactly it.” I said quietly trying to hide the rest from him
“Twilight? What’s wrong?” Shining asked.
I mumbled something quietly and chewed on my lip a little.
Shining put an arm around my. “Don’t make me do big brother things to you.” He said.
“Like what?” I questioned.
“Are you wearing underwear?” He asked.
“Okay never mind.” I said quickly, scooting away from him and eyeing him suspiciously.
“So how are you doing?” He laughed.
“Horribly.” I said.
“You realize it ISN’T opposite day right? You just got married.” Shining questioned.
“Yeah I know.” I said. “And now everything’s coming down!”
“Is he hitting you? I swear to god…” Shining said as if about to punch a hole in the wall.
“No! I hit him!” I said quickly.
“I just don’t want you hurt… Sorry.” Shining said.
I smiled and hugged him again, “It’s alright you’re my Big Bro and I love you for that.” I said.
“And you’re my little sis. We’ll always be BBBFFs.” Shining said, putting my in a headlock and grinding his knuckles across my head.
I struggled and giggled, “Stop it!” I said.
“Stop what?” He asked, licking my face roughly. I tried to say something, tensing up as his slobber covered finger was shoved into my ear.
“AH!” I screamed, struggling even more.
“What was that?!” Cadence shouted from the bathroom.
“I’m just catching up with my little sis, take your time!” Shining called.
“I didn’t come here to mess around! I wanted to talk to someone who wasn’t Ark or Celestia!” I said.
“What? This IS trust.” Shining said, showing the waxy spit covered finger as he pulled it from my ear. “See? Liquid trust.”
I shivered again and stared at him.
Cadence stepped out of the bathroom and stared at me. “What happened?” She asked quickly.
“It’s about Ark’s uncle…” I said.
Cadence rushed over and sat down right beside Shining and me. “We’re here to listen then.” She said.
“Yeah what’s up?” Shining asked.
“I don’t like him at all.” I said bluntly. “When he walked into my room I got this… Gut wrenching feeling…”
“That could just be a form of morning sickness.” Cadence said.
“Um… he’s giving her morning sickness?” Shining asked. Cadence and I stared silently at Shining. He paused for a full minute. “OH!” He said.
“Yes.” I said. I let out a squeal as he picked me up and started spinning me around.
“That’s great!” Shining laughed.
“Yeah… It is…” I mumbled before I started to giggle. I stopped and the contents of my stomach suddenly emptied all over Shining.
“Yeah… I saw that one coming from a mile away.” Cadence giggled.
Shining stopped and slowly lowered me to the ground. He wiped the puke from his eyes. “Okay.” He said.
I stumbled back before sitting back down on the bed and wiping my mouth, “Sorry…” I said.
“I’ll be right back.” Shining said, turning around and walking into the bathroom.
Cadence teleported me back onto the couch. “And you think he’s a bad egg?” She asked.
“Yeah. That feeling… Um… It was like the one I got with Chrysalis back at your wedding… Except a lot worse like… Like… We were both in danger from him being nearby.” I said.
“Did you want someone to check him out? See if he has a bad past or something?” She asked.
“That’s going to be hard since only Ark knows him.” I said.
“Right right… not from ‘here’.” Cadence nodded.
I sighed. “I don’t know what I’m supposed to do… Everythings just…” I mumbled, putting my head in my hands.
“Everything’s going to be fine.” Cadence said, the reassuring tone in her voice making me feel slightly better. “Hey…”
“Yeah?” I asked, looking up at her.
“Sunshine sunshine…” Cadence started, staring with a widening smile at me.
“Ladybugs awake…” I continued, the same smile growing on my face.
“Surprise.” Shining said.
“That’s not how it goe-” I was cut off as both me and Cadence’s faces were pulled into Shining’s armpits.
I started to struggle and push against him in an effort to escape his sweaty pits.
“MMPH!” Cadence screamed, hitting Shining repeatedly to no avail.
My horn flared to life as I teleported Shining into the closet. “Gah!” I muttered as I fell back onto the bed.
“Oh god my face smells like his butt.” Cadence said.
I stared at Cadence, “What? How would you kn-” I stopped and my eyes widened in surprise. “Oh… Oh god… You…” I mumbled, gagging slightly at the thought.
“What? You’re covered in it too.” Cadence smirked. “And now you know what your brother’s butt smells like, and it’s slime is all over your face.”
I gagged some more before I vomited onto the bed.
Cadence bit her lip. “You okay there?” She said, trying her hardest not to laugh.
“It’s… one thing… to be told what it smells like… It’s another to know right away…” I muttered.
“Well you’re lucky it only smells like the outside. When you reeeeeally get deep in there and it starts to get crusty…” Cadence started.
“I… Hrk… Need to… Take a shower… Now…” I gagged as I stood up and quickly rushed for the door.
“Before you do th-” Cadence was cut off as Shining appeared in front of me and hoisted me over his shoulder, walking back to the bed.
“So you told her about the treasure trove you found?” Shining asked.
“Only the top layer.” Cadence said.
I gulped back as much bile as I could. “I… Hrk…” I mumbled.
“Ohh my, you’re getting hard aren’t you?” Cadence asked.
I brought my knee as hard as I could into Shining’s chest in an effort to escape.
Shining dropped me onto the bed, glancing up just in time to see him slipping his pants down slowly.
“NOPE!” I shouted as my horn flared to life and I teleported out of there. I fell back against the wall and looked around, noticing I had only managed to teleport right outside of the room.
“Ohhh yeah deeper.” Shining sighed through the door.
I stood up and quickly bolted down the hallway. I found a bathroom and ran in, slamming the door behind me before kneeling over the toilet and puking violently into it.
“I just loooove the stories your brother has.” A voice said from behind me.
“Wh…” I mumbled, turning around to see Winona. “What the hell?”
“Oh don’t let me stop you, you still have a little more in there. Just picture as vividly what color that thick crust must be on the rim of Shining’s…” Winona started.
I turned back around and hurled into the toilet again. After a few more seconds I was beginning to just dry heave. “Oh… Oh god… It’s finally empty…” I mumbled.
“Why is there so much in there?” Cadence’s voice echoed.
My horn lit up as I put up a soundproofing spell in the room.
“Shouldn’t be THAT much left, keep digging.” Shining said.
“What the fuck!” I shouted, turning around to see the door was shut, my eyes instantly falling on Winona. “God damn it.” I groaned.
“Oh come on Twilight, I’m just joking!” Discord’s familiar voice chimed in.
“I’m not in the mood for your shit right now.” I said.
“It’s not MY shit that you’re thinking about you naughty girl.” Discord chuckled.
“I never ever needed to know that those two did that…” I mumbled.
“Well it’s something you’ll never forget, anyways…” Discord said dismissively as he appeared, hovering around the ceiling.
“Why are you here?” I questioned.
“Whaaaat? I can’t pay my closest friends a visit?” Discord said, wrapping an arm around me as he descended towards the floor.
“Now’s not the time.” I said, pushing his arm away, shortly after I fell back against the wall and put my head in my hands. “I’m just so sick of today already!”
“Well if you hate throwing up I can just get rid of the baby.” Discord said, snapping his fingers. I immediately felt the sickness disappear.
“You will give me my baby back… Or I’ll make an eternity in stone feel like heaven…” I growled.
“Only teasing!” Discord said, the sickness quickly returning.
I glared at him. “That wasn’t funny.” I said bluntly.
“I can help with the throwing up if you want, without killing the baby.” Discord chuckled, snapping his fingers and a wave of comfort hitting me.
“Thanks… And that wasn’t wha-” I stared at him, “Discord.” I said.
“Mmm yes?” He hummed.
“I need you to do something for me.” I said.
“Depends, what?” He asked.
“Ark’s uncle, Isaac. I want you to try to find out what he’s going to do, or at least something he’s done in the past.” I stated.
“Spying? Now Twilight, I’ve given those days up! You can’t honestly expect me to do something like that.” Discord said in his usual sarcastic and snarky tone.
“Oh? You will do it or I’ll be using the spell Celestia showed me to bind you… And I might just leave you in her room…” I smirked.
Discord just stared at me, absolutely unimpressed. “My my you really are becoming a very nasty Princess. You’ll be an evil queen in no time. I’m really starting to rub off on you aren’t I?” He laughed.
I groaned, “Never mind then… I guess being scared enough to rely on you to try to protect my husband and unborn child was a bad thing…” I sighed, putting my head back in my hands.
“Hmmm…” Discord sighed. “I’ll help, you want to know why?”
“Why?” I asked.
“Because whether or not you and your friends believe me, I DO care. Fluttershy has shown me that.” He said, turning and about to disappear. “I guess I’ll do it before I’m turned to stone.”
I stood up and grabbed his shoulder.
Discord turned and stared at me.
I hugged him and remained silent for a few moments, “Thank you… And I’ll make sure that doesn’t happen to you.” I said quietly.
“Yeah yeah…” He said, a small smile on his face before he disappeared.
I smiled and sat back down against the wall, just wanting to rest for a little bit more.
“Oh my it’s everywhere!” Cadence shouted.
“GOD DAMN IT DISCORD!” I screamed, covering my ears.
The same day:
Celestia calmly walked up to her bedroom door but when her hand touched the handle she felt an ice cold chill. She turned it and as her door opened a smaller chill rushed out. Inside she saw a nobly dressed man with snow white hair and equally pale skin, whom looked to be the same race Ark, her soon to be nephew was. “Who might you be?” She asked in her usual calm tone as she looked over him.
“I am Isaac. Arkantos’ uncle.” The man said as he turned to her, a calm and almost heartwarming smile on his face. Despite the chill of the room his sincere smile warmed her slightly. “I’m sorry but I don’t know your name.”
“I’m Celestia, a pleasure.” Celestia said, extending her hand.
“Likewise.” Isaac said as he shook her hand. “I’ve noticed around the castle everyone seems a little wary of my presence. But you on the other hand…” He trailed off for a moment, “Forgive me for babbling. I’m just not really used to all of this yet.” He chuckled.
“That’s quite alright. Would you care to take a seat?” Celestia suggested with a quiet laugh.
“That would be nice.” He smiled. “Before you came in I was looking over the picture you have, if I may ask who is the other woman in most of them? You both seem quite close.”
“That is my sister Luna. She and I have argued in the past, but we are quite close now.” Celestia said.
Isaac laughed, “That sounds like my own family.” He said. “All the fighting and bickering… But we came through when we needed to. Always…” He sighed quietly, his demeanor changed slightly as he was hit with a small wave of depression. “I do miss my own brother… I wish he had listened to me.” He shook his head. “No… No, as much as I hate it, without it he wouldn’t be here… It’s sad that a tragedy for some can turn into a great moment for others.” He looked up at Celestia.
“I can understand completely. There are events in my past that have made my personal life more stressful… But to my servants and people it was a victory, a miracle.” Celestia said quietly.
“At least you and your sister were able to reunite. That’s a victory in of itself and something I’m sure you’re grateful for.” Isaac said with a small smile. “Just as it’s a victory for me I am able to see my nephew get married, and to someone he actually loves no less.” He laughed, “It’s truly a wonderful sight, knowing that even with what he’s gone through in the past few years he’s able to pick it all up and continue on. It gives me a little hope that maybe everything I taught him didn’t go to waste in trying to impress people.”
“Indeed. We can only teach our children to survive… Hope carries us the rest of the way.” Celestia smiled.
“That it does.” Isaac nodded. “And from what I’ve seen you’ve raised your own daughter well. She’s intelligent, quick on her feet, and quite powerful in her own right.” He laughed again, “I’ve never seen anyone else take that much out of Ark only for him to come right back for more. He’s always been the dominating one in his life, but to see the tables turned that’s a sight I never in all my years expected to see!”
“Oh she’s not my daughter, just my student. But I assure you, her parents are very proud, as am I.” Celestia laughed.
“You’d be surprised to find out what a student truly thinks of their teacher.” Isaac chuckled as he pulled a small glowing necklace out of his shirt. “I was surprised the day Ark gave this to me with a note that read, ‘For you daddy.’ Even to this day this is the most important thing anyone has ever given me… I can say with complete honesty I’d die before I would part with this.”
“He must truly mean a lot to you.” Celestia said softly, placing a hand on his.
Isaac nodded. “I never had any children of my own… I wasn’t too surprised. My brother was always the fiery charmer. Though in truth I never minded that… No one really enjoyed my coldness.” He sighed.
“It’s never too late.” Celestia teased.
Isaac chuckled. “I don’t think I have it in me to chase any ladies anymore. Especially when all the ones who wanted me in the past just wanted money… What a sad time it is when greed is more important then love.” He sighed.
“Well I already have that.” Celestia laughed.
“Oh really?” Isaac teased.
“To be honest, life around the castle does get dull on occasion.” Celestia grinned.
“Oh.” Isaac said as the realization dawned on him. “Oh my.”
“Indeed.” Celestia laughed quietly.
“Well… This is an unexpected turn of events.” Isaac said with a small laugh. “Though unexpected doesn’t mean unwelcome.”
“Well the best things in life are usually surprises.” Celestia cooed.
“Yes. They are.” Isaac said softly as he grabbed her hand. An ice cold feeling shot up her arm and chilled her entire body. Celestia shivered.
“Is something wrong?” She asked.
“Not at all.” Isaac said with a warm smile. “Are you too cold?”
“Cold is a strange sensation for me.” Celestia chuckled. “No not necessarily.”
“You know, there are a few things I grew tired of while living in the north as I did before…” He started.
“I’m listening.” Celestia said, crossing one leg over the other.
“As strange as it sounds from me, I don’t enjoy snow all too much… nor the night. I’ve seen enough of it to last me ten lifetimes.” He continued. “Dark for all the winter… Then one solitary day… the most magical time for all of us that suffered through the darkness.” He smiled up at her. “Do you know what that solitary day brought?”
“What?” She asked with a growing curiosity.
“The morning sun.” He said softly. “Most take the day for granted, it always comes and goes. But through the years of living in silence and darkness, you begin to appreciate those things. I lived my life just waiting for the next chance to see that light, and I never found myself disappointed by it. I couldn’t take the slim twenty four hours I had in the light for granted. So I used it every time to what I was capable of. We all did. It was one of the few times our lives didn’t seem so grim. When we were able to stand up and fight off the creatures that stalked us during the long nights. And when we were finally able to see each other without the flicker of a torch or flame. When warmth entered us, and when light caressed our beings. Though, for some it was just the day… no for all of them it was just a time of light, for me it was a time when I could be happy. It reminded me off the days I spent with my nephew… and the days I spent with my brother. The time when I didn’t feel so cold inside, a time when I didn’t enjoy the cold like an old friend. When I wanted warmth… no when I craved it but couldn’t get it. I loved the sun… I loved the warmth and light it gave, and I wanted to feel it constantly. But I had a small sick feeling that if I did find what I wanted, I’d grow to hate it. And I’d want to go back to the cold again.” He sighed. “When you are as cold as I few dare to come near, and even fewer dare to stay.” The room seemed to warm but his entire body seemed to grow even colder, a light steam seeming to rise from his body as though it was too cold even for the heat to want to be near. “I’m sorry for rambling on, it’s just sometimes hard to let go of the little pleasures life has to offer.”
She was about to speak but was cut off as he spoke up again.
“Things like the laughter from a child… Like watching him produce his first flame. Like watching your family come together in the darkest times, and in the brightest.” He chuckled softly, “Things like tending to a broken bone after he fell from a tree or teaching him how to care for himself if you couldn’t get there in time. Or even watching them grow up and return home.” He sighed.
Celestia quietly listened on.
“Did you know, when he came back after his first… time. I guess it could be called, he couldn’t sleep without nightmares consuming him. He was always so restless and finicky. He’d flinch at the slightest sound. But, seeming him now… you wouldn’t know. He’s so calm with her. I guess it is true, love is capable of banishing the darkest things from a person.” Isaac sighed. His gaze shifted down.
“It is indeed. That is something I can drink to.” Celestia said as a pony approached them. “Would you care for some tea?”
“That would be nice.” Isaac nodded as he looked up again. “It’s been a few years since I had any tea.” He chuckled. He let go of Celestia’s hand and put both of his in his own lap.
“Is there anything that might make you more comfortable?” Celestia asked.
“No, I’m quite comfortable. Thank you for asking though.” Isaac smiled warmly again. “And thank you for listening to my ramblings… It’s something I’m known for.” He joked.
“Nonsense. If we weren’t allowed to talk about the past, there would be no history.” Celestia laughed.
Isaac chuckled too, “I agree, and without the past there can’t be a future.” He said, his gaze returning to her. Celestia simply smiled and returned the stare. His smile widened slightly and he gently grasped her hand, his cold aura again meeting her warm one. “It’s nice to finally see my nephew get married… I expected to die long before I saw any of my nephews or my niece...“ He stopped and let out a sigh. “Well… it’s nice to see at least one of them lasted so long…”
“Isaac… I know something else is troubling you I can feel it.” Celestia said.
“I can’t let go of the feeling that something is going to happen to him. Fate hasn’t been too kind to our family as of late…” Isaac sighed.
“He’s safe here. Well… I’d assume he’d be safe anywhere.”
“That’s the thing… safety makes us let our guard down…” Isaac muttered, biting his lip in thought.
“I’m sure he’ll be fine.” She assured.
Isaac nodded slowly, “Yes… yes I’m sure he will be. I have to go get myself prepared for the wedding… I need to find the gifts I’m going to get both bride and groom. It’s always so hard…” He said, lightening up a bit.
“We’ll see each other soon I presume?”
“Yes we will. Goodbye for now Celestia.”
“Likewise to you too Isaac.”
My eyes shot open and I let out a gasp, it felt like I had just awoken from a nightmare… but I knew… I knew it wasn’t a nightmare. I had felt the knife enter me…
“Good you’re awake!” An unfamiliar voice rang out… no, no it didn’t ring out. It resonated inside of my head. “I’m Vyl, you must be Arkantos… the one prince my father intended to kill.”
“I’m not dead though!” I snapped, turning and looking around.
“Because of me. You need to survive… I can’t let you die. I… I saw how happy you were with that mare.” The voice started, I could hear it whimpering in my mind, “I’m sorry I let it get this far…”
“You’re s-”
“I tried to stop him. I desperately tried to… But I failed… until now. I saved you, and now I can make this all right again.” The voice continued.
“How do you intend to make it right?”
“By getting you back into the city, and beating back my father. I WON’T let him ruin your life.”
I pushed myself up, feeling pain course through my body. “That’s… that’s what I like to hear…” I grunted, gripping my side. I felt the intense heat course through me as, in an even more painful way, I seared the wound completely closed. “When I made a heroic entrance into a city before it wasn’t against an army…” I laughed quietly, realizing how stupid this was.
“Always time for something new, right?”
“Damn right. I’m sure that your father has a fail safe of some sort.”
“I don’t think he planned on you surviving. But once he finds out we’ll be facing heavy resistance.”
“Hm, we’ll need something to arm ourselves with then, won’t we?” I mused, “How close are we to a magma pocket?”
“Why?” Vyl’s voice inquired.
“I can create something for us… we should have…” I started.
“Four days till the wedding.”
“Hm, enough time then.” I stated.
“There’s one ten kilometers to the east.” Vyl said.
“Good, let’s go th-” We were both teleported and I stumbled, falling right on my face. “Warn me next time! I wasn’t expecting that…”
“I’ll try to.” Vyl’s voice laughed in my head. “Now, I need to make sure that they don’t find out you’re alive.”
“Wait, I remember Twilight telling me about changelings… don’t you all have a hive mind or something?”
“Y-... I don’t… at least not with my father.” Vyl was scratching his head when I looked at him. “He always… told me to be quiet when I brought up the female voice I heard… and he told me never to answer it…”
“Maybe… maybe whomever it is can help, right?”
“Maybe. I’ll try.” Vyl nodded.
“That’s all I’d ask.”
“I’ll come back with some food and water.” Vyl stated, “Don’t worry about that.”
“I wasn’t going to. I’ll… start work on the things we need.” The heat and glow of the magma was beautiful. Sometime… after all this is over. I need to bring Twilight down to see this. Maybe I could show her a few things… I sighed quietly to myself as I slowly put my hand in the molten rock, my time to do this was limited, I can’t waste any more of it.
In Canterlot Several hours later:
Twilight felt strange, the air in the room felt… colder than it ever had around Ark. She felt it was pertinent to keep her distance now more than ever. She truly couldn’t go to anyone else, this was HER problem, at least it was until Isaac found her out in the garden.
“What do you want?” Twilight glared at him, her suspicions about him were already at their maximum.
“Well, I came to meet the wo-mare who would’ve been my niece…” Isaac sighed quietly.
“Would’ve?” Twilight’s voice trailed off. “Wait…”
“In our world… Gods aren’t just simply a myth, or just a religion.” Isaac looked up at the sky. “They… interacted with our world in so many ways. Bringing back certain people for short periods of time… giving them time to leave behind regrets.”
Twilight went silent.
“They also… ‘forge’ pieces of themselves into the souls of mortals, not to take control of them but to help them.” He paused for several long seconds, “Arkantos isn’t just a human, he was… is a reincarnation. The god he was named after gave his very being to hold back a tide of… nothing.”
“Th-” Twilight paused realizing he had no term for what the god had given itself to destroy.
“The truth of it all was passed through the royal bloodline, generation after generation. Waiting, waiting for the god to be reborn, to lead our entire people to a golden age. But as you already know, something went terribly wrong… well, at least that’s what the original thought was. We were far too slow to stop what came next… to survive the destruction.” Isaac closed his eyes for a few moments. “Arkantos was lucky… it was only a few da-”
“Few days?”
“Time from this world, and time from ours are completely different.” Isaac sighed. “So yes, it was only a few days… those things appeared. The rebels tried to fight first… the Imperial Forces were already annihilated. No other survivors… the Rebels found the campsite where the last of them were. Every single one of them… it was horrible from the news that came out. Even the monsters of our world weren’t capable of such a slaughter. It was… efficient, and brutal. Though they found bodies… magic was capable of harming these things. Any type of magic.”
“So…”
“You and Arkantos together are a threat to this… abomination. This world, your world is a beacon of hope. Maybe if everything goes smoothly… and you both are truly in love, you two WILL become heroes unlike anything any world has seen.” Isaac smiled at her, “Twilight Sparkle, you have a decision to make. You don’t have some ‘fate’ or ‘destiny’ awaiting you. Only your choice and your life stand before you. Your heart can’t decide what the future is. Because you already know what it is, don’t you?”
Twilight clenched her fists and looked at Isaac. Her eyes narrowed.
“My time here… is very limited. The only of our gods that has true power here is Arkantos himself. Your world is already listening to him, and already answering.” Isaac looked down. “He’s doing it all for you… and without you he’ll lose himself.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?” Twilight snapped, now approaching Isaac.
“Power corrupts everything, it corrupts everyone.” He let out a small sigh, no fear showing across his entire form. “Ark isn’t a god Twilight, but you are a goddess here. Once he stood at the top, humility forced upon him in so many ways. You’ve quelled the heart of a warrior, you’ve changed him in such a short amount of time. There’s one thing you can’t change though.”
“And what’s that?”
“His soul. Deep inside he’s determined to protect you, he’ll do anything to see you, and now his children survive. He’s a soldier Twilight, he always will be. But once you both are married, that’ll be secondary to him being a faithful husband, and companion.” Isaac grimaced, “Your friend Rainbow Dash may embody loyalty, but her loyalty will pale in comparison to that forged in blood and fire. Battle isn’t merely an end for those that die, it’s a new beginning for those that survive, it’s a crucible, and anything that enters and survives comes out stronger, more unbendable, more unbreakable. Tempered in fire, even the weakest bond can become stronger than steel. Though, I shudder to think what happens when a bond stronger than steel goes through the same fire…”
Twilight’s arms went limp, her fists unclenching. “Isaac…”
“You two won’t be able to stand without each other.” Isaac breathed out, closing his eyes one final time. Twilight noticed he was beginning to fade. “I’m happy that I was able to seem him become so strong. I’m sure his father and mother would be proud. Do… take care of him. He’ll need you more than anyone he’s ever had in his life.”
“I… I will take care of him.” Twilight promised. Isaac put a hand on her shoulder.
“That’s all I needed to hear. I wish… both of you happiness and only the best.” Isaac smiled, “And… Twilight.”
“Yeah, Isaac?”
“I won’t be the last person from his life you’ll meet…” He stepped back from her. “Be careful. Our gods act on momentary whims… Including Ark.”
“I will be careful. I have at least one foal inside of me.” Twilight laughed.
“And I can already tell they’ll turn out to be perfect.” Isaac grinned.
“Isaac, before you go…”
“Yes.” Isaac stated, not letting her finish. She tilted her head. “Yes, I have… Arkantos wouldn’t NEED to make contact with the very blood of this world if he didn’t see a very distinct need to.”
“Yet, you’re saying…”
“Reincarnation doesn’t carry over power. Only innate knowledge. He knows how to do things he shouldn’t, things that aren’t natural for any pyromancer or aquamancer just are for him. His body temperature. It’s usually hovering around 140-150. It should kill him, hell you should feel it burning but it changes on contact with anyone to a comforting temperature. Or for you, I’m guessing a very intimate and loving heat. He’s no god Twilight. He’s only as powerful as the world he’s on will allow him to be… but when he gets angry or, when someone he loves is in danger. He taps into energies far beyond the mere primal powers of the world. All myths have an element of truth to them…” He let out one final sigh. “I have to go now… please tell him the truth. Don’t hide anything from him. He needs to know.”
Twilight glanced down for a moment. “I will.”
“Good.” Isaac smiled before he vanished entirely leaving Twilight alone. She took in a deep breath, trying to let everything sink in.
Discord appeared only moments later.
“Discord!” Twilight snapped.
“What? I can’t listen in to make sure one of my friends is safe?” He inquired, albeit less playfully than usual. “And to make sure her loved ones are safe? I’m not as passive as you might think.”
Twilight’s eyes narrowed.
“Oh Twilight… I have a plan, and I do want you to listen to me for once.” Discord grinned, snapping his fingers, the two of them vanishing from the garden.
Chatpter 16: First A Spark
Arkantos closed his eyes, letting the magma overtake his body. The shell forming around his body. He’d never truly attempted this before, only forming it out of liquid metals.
It felt just the same, only the heat around him was noticeable. For once he felt hot, it was indescribable for him. But the heat soon faded and there was a cool feeling all around him. The shell forming thick black armor around him. He could already tell how he looked, a demon straight from the blackest, darkest pit of the Infernos. But that’s what he needed, fear. If he was to get out of this in the easiest way he needed the thing that tried to kill him, to fear him. He slowly rose to the surface, now standing on top of the rolling molten rock. He felt so cold all of a sudden, and he knew exactly why. Part of himself was missing, and now he had to reclaim it.
“Arkantos are yo-” Vyl’s voice stopped, the changeling standing in front of the terrifying warrior. Now he looked less like a human and more like the very embodiment of death and war. The pure black armor reflected all light off of it, giving him an almost glistening look. The only thing of the man inside that was visible were the two fiery eyes deep within the helmet, the strangely cold orange eyes now locking with Vyl’s.
“I am done.” Arkantos said, slowly walking to the edge of the magma pit. Vyl backed away from the towering human. “Did you get into contact with this Chrysalis?”
“He did.” A female voice hummed from out of the chamber. Soon a large female changeling stepped into view, her eyes darting all over the human. “Quite scary… do you intend to get married looking like that?”
“No, I intend to keep Twilight and our children safe.” Arkantos growled, his eyes narrowing. Chrysalis paused momentarily, her feeling of control slipping as she saw something… primal rising inside the human before her. It frightened her more than anything she’d seen before. This man intended to kill if anything so much as harmed Twilight. Chrysalis may have been worried about her hive after the last royal wedding, but this… this terrified her.
“A-alright, I… I do intend to help you accomplish that…” Chrysalis put her hands up, Ark’s attention shifted to Vyl, the rage slipping back into the depths of Ark’s soul.
“Good, then we can move soon.” He turned back around kneeling down to the magma. “Go get ready… I’ll be out soon.”
The two changelings left him alone.
Several hours later:
Twilight was pacing back and forth in the throne room, awaiting Luna and Celestia. “No… this can’t be happening.” She shook her head. Celestia was the only one to enter.
“What’s wrong?” Celestia inquired.
“I… I don’t know how to explain it!” Twilight said quickly, “All I know is, something bad’s happening and it’s coming down fast!”
“What do you mean?” Celestia asked softly, approaching Twilight and putting a hand on her shoulder.
“I just… It’s Arkantos, I’m really… just…” Twilight stammered out.
Celestia gave her a small smile, her eyes glowing a little. “Oh, it’s just a little pre-wedding nervousness…” Her horn lit up and…
“C-Celestia?” Twilight could barely eep out, fatiuge overcoming her.
“Don’t worry Twilight…” Celestia slowly helped Twilight to the ground. “You’re not going to die… you’re far too important for that… unlike that human.”
Twilight tried to fight, but she realized quickly how outmatched she was as Celestia’s form shifted to that of a large changeling. A grin coming across his face. The changeling king stood there, staring down at her. “You know… this was quite a bit easier than what Chrysalis tried… too bad she didn’t decide to work with us… she could have had all of Equestria to herself. But her ‘hive’ was far more important to her… pathetic really.” He laughed, teleporting both him and Twilight out of the throne room. Now she was in a place she didn’t recognize.
“They won’t find you… not here.” The changeling king chuckled. “We’ve been preparing for this for a long time you know. You’re entire world is about to fall the fuck apart and we’ll be here to clean up the remains… and offer the survivors protection… where you and your ilk failed to provide it.”
Twilight felt a bit more concentration come back to her, though she didn’t show it.
“Oooh, too bad someone else wants you… otherwise I’d take that little mind of yours over, though you could go without the abominations your carrying…” The changeling king scoffed, rolling the downed alicorn over with his foot. “You want to know what I did, don’t you? How I got rid of him…”
Twilight’s eyes widened and her heart seized up.
“I drove a knife…” His horn lit up, a sickening green color, unlike the previous neon green she had seen from changelings, and a knife appeared in his hand, still covered in blood. “Well I drove this knife into his heart… quite stupid for a ‘warrior’ and a ‘prince’ it’s almost laughable that he survived this long… he must truly have needed you.”
“Y-you have no idea what’s going to happen if he thinks I’m dead, do you?” Twilight breathed out.
“I don’t care what a dead man thinks or was capable of.” The changeling king scoffed.
“He’s survived more than a knife in all of his life… I’ve SEEN what he holds as nightmares… and if you think… even for a second he’s not going to fight his way back through any hell, then you’re more gullible and stupid than anyone ever has been…” Twilight spat.
The changeling kicked her, sending her into a wall. She felt his magic protect part of her body, but her face and back were left undefended. “You should feel lucky that someone wants those creatures in you to survive… otherwise those bruises would be the least of your concerns…” He growled, “Now shut the fuck up, whore .” He spat in her face, turning as two changelings entered the room.
“M… My lord… w-we couldn’t find his body…” The first said.
“What.” The changeling king stopped dead in his tracks.
Despite her pain Twilight felt herself smile, her horn slowly lighting up.
“V-vyl’s also missing.”
“That damned fool! I knew I shouldn’t have let him survive! Begin searching for both Vyl and that things body. Bring me BOTH of their heads!” The changeling king growled, only to stop as Twilight’s horn flashed, and she vanished, teleporting as far away as she could manage. “DAMN IT! FIND THE BITCH TOO!” He screamed, causing both the changelings to cower back and run out of the chamber.
“My, my… you’re having quite the day, aren’t you, Egos?” A whimsical voice quipped. Egos seized up, his eyes widening. “Oh, don’t feel so scared… I’m not here to do anything to you. Yet .” Egos never turned around, not wanting to so much as look at the figure. “He expected you to be violent… just be warned, if she suffers any more injuries, what he’ll do will be tenfold anything you’ve ever felt… and do make sure our dear prince. Does die, will you? If he finds out you’ve hurt her, well… I do know we’ll be the least of your worries. I do hear his rage is infernal .”
“I’ll make sure he’s dead. Our plans have been waiting too long to fail now.” Egos responded, clenching his fists.
“Oh, and do leave the others out of it… our Lord has plans for them. And they aren’t to be interrupted…” The figure growled, before everything in the room went dark, leaving Egos in the purest form of black.
“They… they won’t be so much as touched.” He quaked. The lights returned to the room and Egos was truly alone, or so he hoped.
Twilight found herself deep in the Everfree, no, it couldn’t have been the Everfree she couldn’t have even been in Equestria anymore. Not with the giant crystal tree before her. She should have been fearful of being lost so far from home. But the sight of the tree brought about a calmness to her entire being. She recognized the tree, but she couldn’t recall where she saw it before.
“At least… I’m safe now…” Twilight collapsed, gripping her stomach. Using the last bit of her energy she made sure that the foals were alright. She smiled as she felt two foals were alright, almost positively glowing. She rested against the comforting tree, the energy it gave off causing her to relax even more as it pulsed with a magic she could now recognize. “Wait… it couldn’t be…”
The tree seemed to pulse even more, as if calling out.
“The Tree Of Harmony…” Twilight mumbled, staring up at it. She was too busy staring in awe at the myth before her to realize she was no longer alone.
“Twilight?” A familiar voice caused her to snap around, her horn lighting up defensively, fear filling her once again.
Twilight’s eyes widened fearfully, even with seeing Big Mac, she was still on edge. Adrenaline and a natural instinct to protect the life growing in her. “Twilight, it’s alright!” Big Mac said slowly, though he still remained back a fair distance, fearful of what she might do.
“H-how can I trust that you’re Big Ma-”
“Ah had a crush on yah, and spent nearly a month tryin to hit on yah when yah first came ta Ponyville.” Big Mac stated calmly.
Twilight calmed down very slowly, “What was your first attempt?”
Big Mac sighed, “Ah put a note in one of yer books… Rarity was the one that found it.” He glanced away.
“Oh thank gods… It is you…” Twilight’s magic died down. Big Mac approached her.
“What happened to yah?” Big Mac asked quietly, helping the hurt mare stand.
“I barely managed to escape a c-changeling king…” Twilight cringed. “Arkantos… i-is alive but I don’t know where he is… The king attacked me…”
“We’ll get yah some help…” Big Mac slowly helped her walk out. As they did she saw a cloaked, tall figure walk further into the Everfree, vanishing from sight.
“Who… who was that?” Twilight muttered quietly.
“A close friend of the family. Applejack and I can both vouch for him. Dontcha worry, if he can offer help, he will.” Big Mac assured.
“Alright…” Twilight sighed quietly, the two making their way to Ponyville.
Meanwhile:
Discord was already on edge, now with the sudden surge of magic that just… vanished… he went straight to Celestia himself.
“Oh! It’s good to see you Disco-”
“Did Twilight talk to you yet?” Discord cut the solar princess off.
“N… no. I was… expecting her in the throne room…” Celestia began slowly.
“Damn it!” Discord cringed. “Damn it… that means she’s in danger… She should have…”
“What do yo…” Celestia trailed off.
“Arkantos was attacked by a changeling king. He’s… no longer near the castle. I don’t know where he is… and now Twilight’s been kidnapped too.” Discord explained. “Damn it all… I shouldn’t have let her go off alone, once whoever it was found out… they’d go right after her.”
Celestia slowly stood up, “Captain Nightstick, get in here now!” Her voice boomed magically. Within moments the stallion was in the room.
“Yes, Ma’am!” He saluted.
“Put ALL of the guards on high alert! Begin searching every INCH of this city and the nearby towns for any sign of Princess Twilight, and Arkantos! Be on alert for anything suspicious.” Celestia ordered, Captain Nightstick stiffened up and nodded, immediately running out of the room.
Both Celestia and Discord froze as they felt a burst of energy that was so… so familiar. They both knew it could only mean one single thing.
“The Tree… it’s…”
“Reacting to something...”
“Alert the Ponyville Guard immediately. This… can’t be good.” Discord vanished, going on his own hunt for the friend he failed to protect.
Back in Ponyville An Hour Later:
Big Mac had managed to get Twilight to the hospital, thankfully they were able to quickly confirm it was actually her. Seeing as changelings could only mimic a pony’s form and voice, not something growing inside of them.
The Ponyville Guard were swarming the hospital, making sure every single pony or creature in it could be Id’d and properly screened. Celestia had gotten there as quickly as she could, Discord teleporting in right behind her.
“Thank the gods!” Celestia hugged Twilight close, nearly in tears. Discord was equally as distraught, hugging the two as quickly as he could.
Twilight hugged the two back.
“How badly did you get hurt?” Celestia pulled back.
“Just a few bruises… my foals are safe, and so am I now.” Twilight smiled slightly. “Is… is there any word on Arkantos?”
Celestia glanced down. “We… found blood stains on the floor of the bedroom… and with you getting kidnapped… we fear the very worst.” She muttered.
Twilight was quiet for a few seconds. “I… I know he’s still alive… I just… know it.” She stated. “T… The changeling that kidnapped me, he didn’t have Ark’s body… a-apparently they were betrayed by another changeling.”
“Who were they with?” Celestia asked.
“He didn’t say… it’s just… they needed my foals alive, for… for whatever they had planned. They weren’t with Chrysalis though… the king sounded like he despised her… He said, ‘Too bad she didn’t decide to work with us… she could have had all of Equestria to herself. But her ‘hive’ was far more important to her… pathetic really.’” Twilight explained.
“What about the changelings, what did they naturally look like?” Discord asked quickly, causing both Celestia and Twilight to focus on him.
“They… they had a sickly green aura. The two others I saw were looked more like pure insects. Nothing… nothing like the changelings Chrysalis has.”
“I’ll alert the guard, until Chrysalis proves otherwise… she’ll at least be considered friendly.” Celestia stood up slowly.
“Why such a… specific question?”
“Becuase. I know who that king is… those aren’t his drones… they’re abducted and forcefully mutated so they can’t go back. They can’t transform. It’ll make spotting them out that much easier.” Discord said.
“Who is he?”
“A changeling drone that was given an incredible amount of power by Lord Tirek… and if he’s making moves now…” Discord nearly growled.
“We need to get in contact with Tatarus. If Tirek is attempting to break out… it could get so much worse.” Celestia breathed out, cringing horribly at the thought of Tirek.
“Who… who’s Tirek?”
Celestia and Discord looked to each other.
“You’d better explain it.” Discord stated. “I’ll go make sure Luna’s aware of this…” He snapped his fingers and was gone.
“Twilight… now, just isn’t the time. You’re already under enough stress as is… and it’d be…”
“No. I need to know who we’re going up against.” Twilight cut her off.
Celestia sighed. “Alright… alright. This… this big of a threat… you do deserve to know.” She began to explain to Twilight exactly who Tirek was.
Unknown:
Arkantos’ anger and fear for what may be happening to he beloved was slowly consuming him. He had crafted himself a blade, using all his rage, it came out blacker than even the darkness just outside of the liquid rock and metal. Even in the pitch black of the caverns, any creature would be able to see the blade approaching. He didn’t know he had that sort of emotion buried in him. He wanted blood, and blood he shall have. “Sanguine Por Sanguine.” Arkantos repeated the simple mantra.
Chrysalis remained just out of reach. “We’ve gotten reports, Equestria's preparing for an attack.” She said. “It also appears that your wife to be had escaped that monster’s clutches. One of my infiltrators saw her in Ponyville with Celestia and a full contingent of guards. The way they’re arming… it’s like war is just on the horizon.”
Arkantos remained silent, his thoughts turning more hopeful. Twilight was fine, and he needed to let her know he was okay too. “Is she still in Ponyville?” His voice startled her, for nearly three hours he’d been repeating the same few mantras, readying himself to take on his previous role as executioner.
“Yes she is…” Chrysalis began.
“Take me there.” His command was simple, and left no room for argument.
“That’s suici-”
“How stupid is this… thing, we’re up against?”
Chrysalis paused. “Incredibly intelligent… he wouldn’t… ju…” She trailed off. “Okay… that may guarantee your protection, but I’m still going to be in danger.” Chrysalis reasoned.
“You’ll be with me. And it was your son who saved me. And it was you who agreed to help me.” Arkantos retorted. Chrysalis scoffed.
“Only to protect my hive! I can’t just go committing suicide.”
“Are his changelings different from yours?” Arkantos questioned.
Chrysalis went silent and he could see a growing sense of both depression and stark realization. “Some of them used to be my children. But now… they are so much different…” She muttered quietly. “He’s… tortured them, mutated them… turned them into monsters…” She sighed quietly.
Arkantos surprised her by placing a hand on her shoulder. “Then help me. And I’ll help you. I swear it.” He said. “They deserve peace and rest. Together, we can bring about something new and bold from their memories and ashes. If you come with me I can make sure you remain safe. And if Twilight accepts you, I’m sure Celestia and Luna will. And if they do, you’ll be able to make damn sure your hive will remain safe and well fed.” He squeezed her shoulder, his grip soft and reassuring.
Chrysalis let out a long sigh, “Alright. Let’s go then…” She grabbed his hand, pushing it away. “Just… prepa-”
“I was teleported to this world from my own with a crossbow bolt in my shoulder. Long distance teleportation is nothing to me anymore.” Ark joked.
Chrysalis shook her head. “Whatever.” Her horn lit up, and the two vanished from the cave.
Ponyville:
Spike and the girls got back to Ponyville as quickly as possible, so as to not leave Twilight alone through this dire time. Twilight however, still couldn’t be at ease, Arkantos was still missing, and possibly hurt badly. The fact that the last thing the two of them had was a fight… it did tear her up inside.
“He’s alright…” Rainbow Dash assured.
“What if he’s not though? What if he’s dying… and… and…”
“Twilight, just take a deep breath. The guard’ll find Ark. There ain’t no doubt about it. If he’s alright, and actively searchin for yah, he’ll find his way here in no time.” Applejack added, trying to remain hopeful.
“Yeah! Just give him some time, I’m suuuuuuuure he’s on his way here.” Pinkie stated. “Like one hundred percent sure.”
As they were succeeding at getting Twilight to grow more hopeful a guard burst into the room. “C-chrysalis i-is here! Sh-she’s with s-s-some demonic looking… k-knight o-or something s-she’s l-looking for you, Pr-Princess Twilight!”
Twilight immediately stood up, “Where is she?” She asked.
“I-in the town center!” The guard replied.
“Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie. You stay here with Spike. Dash, AJ, you two come with me… I want to at least investigate this myself.” She stated, looking towards the guard now, “How many guards are out there?”
“Twenty ma’am. They’re completely surrounded!” He saluted.
“Take us there then.” Twilight ordered. The guard nodded and as soon as Rainbow Dash and Applejack were with her, the three were lead out to the square. In it they saw Chrysalis, who looked nervous beyond belief, putting off she didn’t want to be here. Beside her however was a towering and imposing figure. Though the thing that gave it immediately away as not being any race from Equestria was the shape of it’s helmet. Twilight’s eyes widened as she stepped beyond the circle of guards, drawing the figure’s full attention.
“There… There she is.” Chrysalis glanced to the knight. The knight turned completely to face Twilight. Immediately she felt a the sense of overwhelming dread leave her. Despite the obsidian black armor, and the absolute aura of fear the knight was giving off, she could sense something under it all.
That feeling was confirmed as the knight removed his helmet and approached Twilight. In an instant all the fear in the square fled, Twilight tightly wrapping her arms around her once missing husband who immediately kissed her. The two clung tightly together, nuzzling and just kissing each other as the two began to cry.
Ark was the first to speak, “I’m so happy you’re alright.” He whispered, kissing her forehead as he hugged her head into his neck, just trying to comfort her. Twilight could immediately feel that it was him, the heat of his skin was more than enough.
“I’m just… just so…” She nuzzled him lovingly, pulling him into another kiss. Chrysalis was at a loss for words. She could tell neither of them knew very much about each other, or what they’d each been through, but she’d be damned if they weren’t in absolute love with each other.
“Perhaps we should take this somewhere safer. You both may still be targets, and there’s only so much the guards can do out in the open.” Chrysalis interrupted them, her suggestion a sound one.
Arkantos lifted Twilight up, carrying her bridal style. Twilight just rested against him, happy to have her husband and lover back. “Right. I don’t want you getting hurt anymore.” He kissed Twilight’s nose, “Let’s go inside.” He slowly carried her through the swathes of guards to their shared home, Chrysalis, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack right behind them.
The three mares still in the library gasped when they saw Arkantos carrying Twilight.
“Oh my gods!” Rarity stood up, absolutely ecstatic to see the two back together. She, Pinkie, and Fluttershy hugged both Twilight and Ark.
“Wait, if he came in with Chrysalis… how can we tru-” Rainbow Dash was cut off.
“I know it’s him. No other creature is this hot constantly… both aesthetically… and just how burning up he always is…” She nuzzled into his neck. “Now… I do want you to tell me… how this came about.” She motioned between Chrysalis and Ark. Arkantos set Twilight down.
"Right, I'll explain as much as I can." He said, taking in a deep breath to tell them all what he and Chrysalis were now planning.
Chapter 19: The Art Of War
Five of the girls were utterly stunned, after Arkantos explained everything that had happened to him Twilight had directly hugged Chrysalis, surprising the changeling queen.
“Well… I um…” Chrysalis muttered.
“Thank you. And… wherever your son is, tell him I said thank you. Once this is all over, I’ll fight to make sure you and your hive are welcome in Equestria.” Twilight smiled, nestling herself back into Ark’s lap. “Now… if he’s going to attack Canterlot…”
“It’d be the most obvious place. And… he may be smart, but, a crown jewel like that, it’s far too tempting…” Arkantos began.
“And we should make it all the more tempting. Have you, and your friends head back… it’ll force his hand to attack it.” Chrysalis nodded, “I’ll have my drones lie in wait, and we’ll ambush him, since his… m… mutated drones… can’t change forms… we’ll have an easy time picking them out.”
“Right, though I hope we can avoid an open battle. It’ll be to risky.” Arkantos added.
“Ark… how do you intend to stop a full battle?” Twilight asked.
“We feign weakness, and force them into a situation where they have no hope of winning. They’ll be forced to either die, or surrender. If we have them surrounded with massively superior forces, and the home field advantage, we’ll be able to out match, and out play them every single step of the way.” Arkantos explained, “It’s the Art of War.”
“War isn’t an art… art’s beautiful and thought provoking. War’s destructive and all-encompassing.” Rarity said, glancing to Ark.
“There’s a beauty in winning a battle without a single charge being made, without a single arrow being fired, or even a single spell being prepped. It shows strategy beyond measure. Wit beyond reason, and breeds an undying faith in those that command. War may not be an art. But there is an art to warfare.” Ark stated. “To win a war with minimal losses is the goal of all generals. I wish, deep down, that there’d never be another battle… another fight to win or lose. I want peace… but to obtain peace, there have to be those who’ll fight, fight to defend others, to protect the hard-won peace, to make sure the future generations will never have to raise a weapon against their brothers and sisters… And if I’m asked to fight, then so be it. I’ll fight.”
Everyone was speechless, Twilight knew that before coming here Arkantos was a general… but this solidified it. She was more proud of him now, for articulating himself so well. She hugged him tightly, nuzzling his warm neck.
“I don’t…” Rarity muttered quietly.
“I mean… y-your right…” Dash muttered.
“Wow…” Chrysalis said quietly.
“We’ll need to prepare more than just one ambush. Is there anyway to get in contact with Celestia?” Ark asked. Twilight immediately nodded.
“Just tell me what you want her to hear, and I’ll get it to her.” Twilight stated firmly.
“Great! Let’s get her prepared as quickly as possible.” Arkantos motioned for Twilight to follow him, the two leaving the others alone.
The moment they entered the bedroom the mood between them quickly changed Twilight nearly tackled the man she almost lost, her lips attaching to his. He fell back onto the bed, being taken off guard. Underneath their increased weight, the bedframe just buckled from the blow, collapsing underneath the two. They didn’t care if the sound scared the others just downstairs, the door was magically sealed and the two held each other, just staying in the deep kiss for as long as they could possibly manage. It was nearly a full minute before they separated, both panting heavily.
Twilight was in tears again, this time absolutely overjoyed to have him so close again. “Oh gods… It’s… it’s just wonderful to be able to kiss you like this again.” She cupped his cheeks. He returned the gesture, smiling warmly up at her. “I know… you’re absolutely perfect for me…” She kissed him again.
“And you’re the only one I could ever truly love.” Ark replied, nuzzling himself into her mane. It didn’t take to long for Twilight to begin stripping away the cold black armor from her lover’s warm body. Though neither of them was truly in the mood for sex, both too stressed and worried to care about anything other than being close to each others bodies. That they did achieve, nuzzling and cuddling. The warmth they shared was amazing, and they nearly fell asleep together, had it not been for Spike breaking into the room.
“A-are you tw-” He paused for a moment before he realized, no they weren’t having sex and he was more than safe to remain in there. “Oooh… oookay.” He took in a deep breath. “Uuuh, Rainbow Dash t-told me you had something you wanted to send to Celestia…”
“Right…” Twilight sighed, sitting up, the blankets now completely covering her body. Her horn lit up and a quill and paper appeared in her hands. “Alright Ark, what do you want Celestia to do?”
Ark took in a deep breath, “First…”
Later on:
Celestia was reading over Arkantos’ plans. They were near suicidal! At least… they appeared to be on first glance. Going over them a second time it made sense… hide the soldiers in ponies’ homes. Have them burst out when a cannon is fired off… take the enemy by surprise in conjunction with Chrysalis’ forces. It’ll be quick, but very messy for Egos’ forces… they’d be slaughtered when they got pincered by both forces. But with Celestia and Luna… this plan to use both the sun, and if need be, moon to their advantage was thoroughly possible. It’d also send a very, very clear message if it was announced afterwards that Arkantos was now commanding the military… Equestria was going to be left in an incredibly strong position. Then there was Twilight’s addendum, she wanted Chrysalis to be absolved of her crimes… and to be welcomed into Equestria. She let out a long sigh, if Chrysalis did come through… her hive may be forgiven, but… it’d be a long road to have all of Equestria accept her and her changelings. One she’d be willing to start. It seemed it was now very, very rare that Twilight made an incorrect character judgement… what with this strange species she had fallen so deeply in love with, and now his want, neigh, drive to support and protect Equestria.
“You two… you’ll be our downfall… and if not, our phoenix. I can only shudder to think what truly lay ahead for you both…” Celestia sighed, her magic bringing up a quill to write a reply, one that was simple and very, very curt. ‘We’ll see.’ She rolled up the scroll, not even bothering to sign it before she sent it off. “Now… to make a show about them returning… they’ll need a grand entrance.” She laughed quietly. “I just hope… Arkantos knows what he’s doing. I hope he’ll not let love cloud his judgment… we can’t afford to lose anypony. Least of all any of the Elements…”
Chapter 20: The Wall Finally Hits
Several Days Later:
The parade and fanfare for the second arrival of the Elements and Arkantos was glorious. It surprised everypony in Canterlot. Most of all Nightlight and Twilight Velvet. Nightlight had heard war was on the horizon and to make it so announced that the biggest targets were in the largest city was suicide!
“You’re a godsdamned idiot! You know that? Are you DETERMINED to get my daughter killed?” Nightlight growled, having pulled Arkantos into a room alone to shout out his son-in-law, (or at least soon to be one).
“No! I have everything planned o-”
“And then… you have the gull to order Princess Celestia to house sold-”
“I KNOW WHAT THE FUCK I’M DOING!” Arkantos growled back, his anger surging momentarily. “They’re GOING to attack here! AND I MADE DAMN WELL SURE EVERY SOLDIER IN THIS CITY WOULD BE PREPARED!” His voice, thankfully was contained to this single room. “No one, besides Celestia, Chrysalis, Twilight, Luna, the guard, and Chrysalis’ drones know about this plan. And they’ve all agreed to it.I WON’T lose another home, or anyone else I love… not ever again.” Ark cringed, turning sullen at the thought of his lost family, and the news about his Uncle vanishing. Truly, Twilight was all he had left. It hurt him so much to even think about losing her. Though he smiled inwardly, he was playing his part well. In truth, all the ‘Elements’ in the city were imposters. Made to draw out the other forces without so much as risking them. Chrysalis had smuggled and secured Twilight and her friends in her hive. They’d be well cared for and protected.
Infiltrators had alerted them mere moments before they left to a possible spy in the midst. They hadn’t determined who it was, though thankfully from all the info gathered, not a single soul in Canterlot suspected what the soldiers were doing. Their plan had not been compromised. Even if it had, Shining Armor had a battalion of Crystal Ponies in waited to join the fray, along with Luna securing a scant few units of Bat Ponies and some Diamond Dog mercenaries to come up from underneath. Things were going according to plan.
Nightlight was quiet, searching Arkantos for any hit of a lie in his words. He found nothing, which made him feel remarkably horrid for accusing Ark of putting his little filly in danger. “I’m… Sorry… Ark. I just…”
“I know… I know. When… our foals are born. I already can tell… I’ll be just as protective.” Ark put his hand on Nightlight’s shoulder.
“Take good care of them. Or I will string you up.” Nightlight smiled slightly. “And… can you please bring her here to have them? I want to be at least the fourth to see my grandfoals. And… the less time I have to wait, the better.”
“We’ll see, though… you could just come to stay with us when she’s near term. I think it’d be nice to not have to move much… and you and Twilight Velvet being there, it’d bring a bit of peace to her mind.” Ark suggested.
“That sounds much be-” Nightlight was cut off by a loud, echoing BOOM . Both he and Ark froze up immediately. They nearly kicked down the door, Ark already in full armor, had his weapon out in front of him. Nightlight had teleported his old armor on and was wielding a short-sword and shield. He looked remarkable less intimidating then the black armored demon beside him, his massive bastard sword glowing white hot as flames danced around every ashen bootprint Ark left behind. Ponies were rushing away from the square, while guardsmen and other soldiers were charging in.
“Th-the Elements are d-dead! T-they were attacked first! M-monsters f-from the sky!” One pony barely got out as he collapsed in front of them.
“W…” Nightlight’s eyes widened.
“They were changelings! The real Elements are safe.” Arkantos whispered, instantly trying to ease Nightlight’s fears. “I’ll explain it all to you later, for now, we have to join the fight!” Arkantos charged head long towards the square, a tense and now agitated Nightlight rushing in right behind him. He had to find out if it was true for himself. If his baby girl was hurt… he’d tear apart every single living thing in that square with his own bare hands. The seething burning hatred consuming all.
If those things were going to fear Arkantos... they'd be absolutely terrified of the potential this angry father had held inside.
Chapter 21: Cut The Cord!
The battle had begun in the square, horrific eldritch looking creatures had teleported in- the first wave of which looked to be so mutated it was impossible to tell that they were once changelings, and were now beginning to assault Canterlot. The Guards were unprepared for the horrors that they were fighting, but still they pressed onwards. By now, the stage the changelings pretending to be the Elements had been utterly annihilated.
“PRESS OUR ADVANTAGE!” Shouted one of the Equestrian captains.
The guards were trying to corral the first group and wipe them out in the shortest amount of time possible, only to realize they were being played for fools, another group of these abominations was already hitting the ground. Hundreds of these things were attempting to surround and attack the guards from both sides, but they were soon hit by an equally as large second force of guards. Egos’ forces were taken by storm, blood and gore splashing across the soldiers’ armors and the abominations chitin with every brutal slash and hack. Spears and swords were being stabbed and swung, each blow a violent and angry attempt to kill the beasts storming the city.
Egos was watching the ambush take place, he was absolutely livid that they’d been tricked so horribly. First, Arkantos escaped death, then Twilight escaping his grasp! His entire plan was falling apart at the seams. Now, to rub salt on the wound, there was the fucking human himself, charging into the fray, his white hot bastard sword slashing and burning his way through hordes of the mutated changelings.
“LEAVE NONE STANDING! FOR EQUESTRIA!” Arkantos shouted, garnering cheers and various shouts from the Equestrian Soldiers who were now fighting beside their new prince.
“FOR EQUESTRIA!”
“FOR CANTERLOT!”
“DESTROY THE ABOMINATIONS!”
The ferocity that each and every soldier was showing scared the unprepared first few waves. Now the bodies were beginning to pile and fall into heaps, the Equestrian Soldiers taking few casualties in the initial attack.
Nightlight and Arkantos were back to back, defending each other. Egos ordered the first honest waves to attack, the Equestria soldiers had been corralled (at least he thought the majority of the forces were) in the city center.
Thankfully Vyl had appeared beside Arkantos his magic creating shields and spikes to impale and destroy the creatures. ‘How long until our forces should join?’
“Once he shows his true forces! When the cannon’s fired, all the rest of the guards and Chrysalis’ changelings need to attack.” Arkantos replied, a truly horrific creature attacking him directly, only to get two swords, and a spike made of pure energy to it, blood now splattering and covering the three stallions. The creature’s head plopped onto the ground, blood joining the rest that had pooled. “Until then, we fight!” He launched a fireball just as an Equestrian soldier was about to be attacked, turning the mutant into ash.
“Thank you, Sir!” The guard glanced to Arkantos, relieved he wasn’t dying today.
“FIGHT BACK TO BACK, THEY’LL ATTEMPT ATTACKS FROM ALL SIDES! THEY’RE ATTEMPTING TO CORRAL US!” Arkantos’ voice boomed, Vyl’s magic boosting it so all the soldiers could hear it.
Egos growled quietly, watching from a new rooftop vantage point. This creature was a danger… he needed to be eradicated. Egos had the highest desire to be the one to deliver the final blow, but to achieve that end he needed to be separated from both his two little helpers, and weakened severely. He sent out a single burst of magic and suddenly…
The ground under the Equestrian soldiers cracked as more of theses horrific creatures burst forth, some diving directly at Nightlight, Vyl, and Arkantos. Now Nightlight stepped to the plate, he may have been older than most of the guards out now, but he was just as agile as any of them. His sword pierced the heart of the first to reach the three, splattering blood backwards. He cut upwards brutally slicing the creature in half before swinging his shield and cracking another one straight in the head, caving it’s skull in.
Now as some of the lines were being overrun, Arkantos shot a massive fireball into the air. Vyl and Nightlight supercharging it with their own magics. The explosion in the air was the given signal for the cannon, which boomed even louder overhead. With that Chrysalis’ changelings descended onto the battlefield. Within moments her drones and the Equestrian soldiers were fighting side by side. Wounded guards being teleported off the sight by changelings, taking them to safety.
Chrysalis was no-where to be seen, Vyl taking up the reigns of command as Arkantos took control of the Equestrian soldiers.
With the doubling of forces a wave of fear moved over their enemy. They’d been prepared for the ponies, not changelings on top of it!
The worst part was, they were working together without the slightest bit of hesitation or even hatred.
Egos growled and teleported himself down to the battlefield. “ENOUGH!” His voice boomed, drawing all attention to him.
Egos was fuming his full attention on the human who was fucking everything up. “YOU FUCKING ANIMAL! I’LL PERSONALLY DESTROY YOU!”
Arkantos turned to Egos, who now looked like a monster, a blade slowly extending from his arm made of pure chitin. His eyes were glowing brightly, his magic barely keeping this form together. The twisting and writhing tendrils just under the armor made him look horrendous. As the battle took off once again, Egos struck down every single thing on his way to Ark, who was readied for the fight.
“Nightlight, Vyl. You two go. I’ll deal with this freak, we take him down, the rest of the beasts will fall.” Arkantos glanced to the other two stallions.
“Alright!” Nightlight brandished his weapon and shield, joining a group of soldiers in the fight.
Vyl glanced to Ark for a moment before vanishing.
“Scared I’ll kill them too? Don’t worry… once you’re dead I’ll make sure to tear that slut wife of yours apart…” Egos licked his lips, his form finally slipping. If the mutant changelings looked like eldritch abominations, he was Cthulu incarnate. “AFTER I RIP THOSE TWO FUCKS FROM HER STOMACH AND TEAR THEM APART! I’LL KILL EVERY ONE OF YOU!” He roared. Arkantos had to step back to take in the full size of the monstrosity before him. He’d battled monsters, demons, and even things that shouldn’t exist in his lifetime… but this thing, it reminded him of ancient… ancient tales. He was something only the darkest black could produce, a product that even Death would refuse. “THIS WORLD WILL BURN UNDER ME!” The nearly twenty foot tall monstrosity’s voice shook the entire city, causing everything to run from the square.
Only Arkantos and Egos were left in the square, Ark left alone to battle the creature of pure hatred. He brandished his bastard sword and steeled himself for the arduous fight ahead.

Chapter 22: In Darkness Our Souls Are Reborn
Arkantos brandished his broadsword, Egos simply laughing at the action. The beast no longer resembled anything that could be described as natural.
He’d only ever seen this once, a cult in his old home had attempted to summon an Ancient One. The thing that cra-ste-wal… came forth from the very void they’d created. Egos could now be described accurately as that creature. The chitinous outcroppings, the spikes, and the flailing and dragging tendrils now hanging from his body were a sight that would drive any unprepared into fear. Arkantos had to steal himself, having only the goal of victory on mind.
“This… is a gift from my masters. With this I won’t lose!” Egos roared.
“You know… I’ve heard that before. Several times actually…” Ark chuckled. “It’s funny how that tends to horribly jinx things.” Though, despite his words he was getting too cocky. This abomination had to have some tricks up its’ sl-uuuh tentacles? It still had some secrets left to find.
Egos made the first move, several of his many tendrils fired out, slathering the ground with acid in an attempt to strike at Arkantos. The knight dodged to the right, swinging his blade around… the trail of fire coming from it creating a ground shielding for himself. The cobblestone had begun to melt under the white hot heat from Ark’s body. He rolled as another set of tendrils slammed down atop his position.
“STAND STILL!”
“EAT ME SHIT HEAD!” Arkantos fired a volley of fireballs at Egos, all of them striking the motionless creature. He growled and fired a volley of his own spells, most attempting to chase down the mobile knight. Egos was rooted to his current position, despite being powerful… he was far to heavy to move very far, leaving Arkantos plenty of space to move around in.
Arkantos parried the few spells that made it to him, leaving no room for error as he charged at Egos. He took a few good swings at the monster, causing him to screech in pain, black sludge oozing out from the wound. His tendrils instantly closed the wound, though Ark noticed one thing… it quickly burned. With this new information, that it seemed both he and Egos realized, Arkantos knew he stood a chance against this thing.
Several of the tendrils had planted themselves in the ground, creating a wave to force Ark back. The hard chitin almost impossible to pierce when it was this thick so Arkantos simply backpedaled, attempting to not get hit, as one slip up would mean instant death. Egos used another few bolts of magic, trying to trip Ark up.
Ark simply burned the spells away, dashing in and attempting to stab his white hot blade through Egos’ body. He managed to pierce a little ways in, drawing his blade back as quickly as he could. Egos screeched attempting to throw Ark back, one tendril catch him and sending him flying back through a nearby storefront. He absolutely smashed the front wall, getting hammered into the shop desk. His body hurt in so many ways, his armor managing to take the brunt of the attack.
Several tendrils lunged after the downed knight, only to get cut off by a shield appearing around Ark. Shining yanking him back behind cover, “Are you alright?” Shining asked quickly.
Ark’s head was still spinning a little bit but as he came down from the surge of adrenaline he looked at the others who were with Shining. Luna, Chrysalis, and Celestia were all with him, all looking outfitted for war. “Just in a bit of pain… nothing too bad.” Ark assured.
“What the hell I… was that thing?” Shining inquired.
“That was Egos.” Ark said.
“And how are we going to take him down?” Celestia asked.
“His blood burns quickly. If… and this is a big if, we can deliver enough blows to slow down his healing, I can ignite his blood.” Ark explained. “It should decimate him. But…”
“We’ll need to make sure he gets hit enough.” Luna said.
“I’m sure we can manage that.” Chrysalis chuckled, “Now… let’s go ‘entertain’ our mutual… ‘guest’.” She stood up and fired her first volley of spells. Soon joined by both Luna and Celestia.
Shining helped Ark stand and the two (now) brothers joined the others in their assault against Egos. Egos was fully prepared for a land attack, but now he was being hit from all sides. His tendrils now focused on defending himself, leaving him no ability to attack.
The spells and clashing of steel against hard flesh echoed through the square, the black bile splattered across their armor and weapons, sizzling as it made contact with either Celestia or Arkantos.
Luna and Chrysalis were surprisingly working in tandem, attempting to force Egos’ attention onto them. It was working to some extend as the abomination now swung several tendrils at the two, attempting to tear Luna apart, and completely eviscerate Chrysalis. Celestia’s magic burned the tendrils before they could make contact with either of them, before she fired off her own attacks. Each hit was rapid and harsh, attempting to breach further into his thick exoskeleton.
Shining and Arkantos were attempting their own breach, trying to attack one spot right after the other hit it. It didn’t take long for them to find a rhythm, each swing being followed up near instantly.
“You think your pathetic little attacks are doing anything!?!? HAHAHAHAHA!” Egos was fully living up to his name, thinking he was completely indestructible.
“You’re getting ahead of yourself, you’re no god!” Arkantos retorted, his sword lighting up with flames as he attempted to drive it into the weakened spot in Egos’ armor.
“THE GODS ARE DEAD! WE ARE BEYOND THEM!” Egos roared, this one an actually painful one as Ark’s sword slid into his body.
Shining grabbed Ark’s shoulder, teleporting the two of them away from Egos’ next attack, this one a surge underneath them. Several spike like tendrils burst forth right where Ark had been, one breaking his sword leaving Ark without a weapon.
But he remained undeterred, now resorting to his actual magic to fight. All of those present were completely surprised by how skilled he actually was.
The first spell Arkantos cast was a solid pillar of flame, this one slamming into Egos giving him an honest push, searing a huge path up his body. “GAH!” Egos screeched, a tendril whipping around in an attempt to hit Ark.
Though since he wasn’t focusing on physical attacks he was able to easily burn away the tendril, the cone of flames completely consuming it leaving nothing but ash behind.
Egos cringed violently, now beginning to see why Arkantos had to die. His horn began to light up, the earth around them beginning to crack as he tried to kill him, this time in a vain attempt to bring Canterlot down from the mountain.
Chrysalis was the first to act, her magic cracking Egos’ horn violently. “BITCH!” He screamed, this time managing to land a blow on both her and Luna, the two being brought hard to the ground.
Celestia managed to stop any serious injuries from happening to them, but she was left completely open to attack, which Egos immediately took. With three of the combatants down it was left to only Arkantos and Shining to bring down this monster.
“Shining.”
Shining glanced to Arkantos.
“Get them out of here. Make sure our troops are winning.” Ark ordered, his tone becoming colder.
“You can’t…”
“I can. Just go. I don’t want you to be here if I lose control.” Ark stated. “Go, NOW!”
“Yes… leave me and your precious new brother alone… don’t worry. I’ll give his whorse of a wife his head when I’m done.” Egos growled.
“Shining.” Arkantos completely ignored Egos. Shining glanced to Ark, now noticing the air beginning to just shimmer around him.
“J… Bring me his head. If there’s anything left.” Shining said, teleporting himself to the defeated goddesses and changeling queen. In an instant they were out of the city, leaving only Egos and Arkantos to fight.
“Now… the children are gone.” Egos grinned. “I will kill you… MONKEY.”
Arkantos was absolutely silent, now his black armor was beginning to melt under the intense heat he was producing, and likewise the rock under him was beginning to melt as well.
“W… what the hell…”
“You think the gods are dead?” Arkanto growled, “You haven’t even seen one yet.”
“I defeated two goddesses! You’re nothing more than a mortal! YOU DON’T SCARE ME!” Egos roared.
“You won’t have time to fear when I begin.” Ark’s entire being burst into flames… the flames though, they weren’t any color Egos had seen fire become before, it was a blazing white… and they weren’t draining magic from Ark, not from what Egos could detect… they were feeding more into him.
“Your war is over Egos. Just like your life. ”
Chapter 23: In The Kiln All Are One
Egos, if he could move would have stepped back from the being before him.
Arkantos wasn’t rising or sinking, instead the molten rock and metal flowed around him, the armor he had now as just as on fire as he was. Ark slowly rose his hand, Egos quaking at the sight.
“Wh… what the fuck are you?” Egos muttered, feeling the congealing of magic in the air, right at Ark’s palm.
“I am War. I am Fire. I am Annihilation. ” The voice wasn’t fully Ark’s, no, there was something more ancient behind it.
Though, just before Ark fired off his spell, Egos managed to hit him hard, sending him flying into a building which crumbled under the heat, burning to ash in mere seconds. Egos grinned, now driving much stronger tendrils down against Ark’s body.
“Fool. ”
Ark completely vanished, the air literally bending around him. Egos was stunned for a few moments before he groaned in pain, Ark’s hand literally going through his chitin and grabbing the blade lodged inside him. “W-wha…”
“There will be nothing left. ”
“Of you maybe!” The ‘blood’ Ark had thought was burning earlier in fact was a ruse, and the sludge quickly slid up the liquid metal and rock roiling over his body. Soon he was completely consumed by the bile, tendrils wrapped around the sludge covered entity, slamming it harshly into the ground before throwing him into another building. “I won’t even give her your head! I’LL JUST KILL HER TOO!”
For once the thing in Ark’s body was silent. Egos thought he had won, thought he had killed a god…
“They will all burn. My flames will purify this filthy world. Beginning with you. ”
A wave of fire burst out from the sludge, boiling and turning it to nothing.
“None shall survive purification. ”
Egos attempted to further attack him, only managing to have his tendrils bounce off his armor uselessly.
“N-no… y-you…”
“Can you hear it? ”
Egos’ heart stopped for a moment.
“You’re final death knell. It tolls. ” The being in Ark’s body was standing before Egos, who now knew what fear truly was.
“Wh… who are you? Y-you aren’t that… h-human…”
“I am Arkantos. God of the Flames. This vessel has run it’s course. And now I take control. ” The god spoke, no longer was the human’s voice entwined with the god’s. “He was weak. I am not. He had intents to bring you in, charge you. But I have judged you unworthy of a chance. Your sentence is death by flame. ”
“I… I won’t… l-”
“Let your last scream ring out for all to hear. ” His hand slowly rose, the magic congealing was too strong for Egos to attempt to survive. “You will be the first. Let all know they have been judged unworthy, corrupted, and evil. ”
“Y… you’re a monster…” Egos muttered.
“By fire be purged! ”
Egos’ scream did ring out. But that was unneeded as the pillar of pure flame could be seen for miles even in the broad daylight. All knew Egos had been slain, but now they could feel something else there. Something uncaring and unfeeling.
Celestia for the first time felt dread for not just Equestria but the entire world.
“S-sister… w-what is that… f-feeling?”
“It’s Arkantos…” Chrysalis muttered quietly.
“That… isn’t…” Shining muttered.
“It isn’t him . It’s something else… something so much worse…”
They were all further surprised by the bright purple flash, Twilight teleporting herself to Celestia after she saw the pillar of flame. "Is Ark still in the city?"
"Yes! Bu-" Shining was completely cut off as Twilight vanished, having teleported herself into the city. “TWILIGHT NO!”
“I-it’s too late… Get all the troops together… we… may have to kill him…” Celestia muttered.
“We’ll… need an eclipse to even fight that power…”
“Then we need to make it happen.” Celestia said quietly. Luna closed her eyes. “I hope… if Twilight’s alive when we finish… that she can forgive us both for what we have to do.”
“She may never, Sister.” Luna said.
“Then so be it… it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to take.” Celestia let a few tears drop. “If it means protecting so much more…”
Twilight had teleported herself as quickly as she could to the first place she expected to find Ark. Instead of her husband, she saw the burning and roiling metal and rock clinging to his form. No longer could she even really feel his presence… this thing in his body had taken complete control.
“I was wondering when you’d arrive. I’m sure you’ll be pleased to know, his last coherent thought was of you. Though, in truth his last thoughts were truly painful. I can’t let him get in my way. ”
Twilight cringed, “He isn’t dead.” She stated firmly.
“Oh? And what makes you think that? ”
Her eyes narrowed, while she couldn’t fully feel Ark’s usually overpowering presence, she felt something, maybe the last vestiges of his existence. “I’ve already seen three things fail to kill him. I doubt that some, demon claiming to be a god could even hope of taking him out.”
The being’s temperament violently shifted, something deep inside Twilight screamed at her to get away from him.
She teleported herself into the air, watching as the entire square was consumed in fire. Building crumbled and turned to ash and the cobble stone and different stones around the square were melted. She would have been utterly destroyed by it had she attempted to throw up a shield of any kind. “Oh? You don’t like that FACT DO YOU?” She shouted, she fired a blast of magic at it, knowing full well she’d only anger it further.
She only was doing this because she felt that something grow back inside of him after the being threatened her.
“You don’t like being called weak? The truth really hurts doesn’t it?” Twilight quickly teleported herself to a new location as a stream of fire was blasted at where she had just been flying.
“BITCH! ” It growled. “I WAS GOING TO LET YOU LIVE! BUT NOW YOU’LL DIE LIKE THE DOG YOU TRULY ARE! ”
As she barely got out of the way of it’s next attack she noticed something, the white flames were turning back to their normal color, slowly becoming less and less hot.
“You’re nothing! That’s why you NEEDED him to let you in, isn’t it? You have no power on your own!” Twilight growled, “You just lack the morals and empathy he has.”
“Those things are just weakness. ”
“Then how have my friends and I managed to bring down much, much stronger beings?”
In that moment Celestia’s magic collapsed around ‘Arkantos’ Luna and Chrysalis’ magics also adding to it.
“This plan’s foolish!” Celestia said.
“It’s going to work, just look, he’s stopped melting the ground!” Twilight retorted as he friends were quick to take position behind her.
The roar the being let out as it tried to burn through their magic was gut-wrenching.
“If you think this is going to work than HURRY!” Luna shouted.
Twilight turned to her friends, seeing the fear in their eyes was heart-stopping. But, despite that fear of death, they all held strong. She smiled slightly.
“Do it and he’ll die along side me! I WON’T LET HIM GO, THIS BODY IS MINE! ”
Luna could only inwardly smile, knowing full well what was about to happen. “Just hurry! If he breaks free we can’t stop him!”
Twilight turned back to him. “Release him, and you won’t be destroyed.” She stated firmly.
“HA! I’ll jus-ust kill you! ”
His stutter showed just how hard Ark was working to regain control over his own body.
Twilight gave one last glance to her friends who were all ready.
“Drop the barriers.”
“Are you outright insane?” Chrysalis stated.
“Drop the damn shields.” Twilight stated again.
Only now did Chrysalis realize the flames attacking the shields were getting weaker. She bit her lip, and she along side the two alicorns dropped their shields.
“You wish to kill us both? Can you say you truly loved him then? Or were you just trying to get something out of him, I can tell you, those… abominations inside of you are not something good. ” It laughed, only stopping as it realized the magic around it was dying. It had been completely cut off, “No… no I killed you! I MADE sure you were gone forever! ”
“You can’t kill him. Not as long as I live.” Twilight’s eyes narrowed, now glowing with the magic of the Elements. “He’ll always find a way back.”
Her friends were likewise lit up with their own individual Elements, the magic coalescing right in front of Twilight.
Instantly Celestia and Luna picked up on a rather familiar scent, one that definitely wasn’t something Arkantos could possibly make. Luna grabbed Chrysalis’ shoulder, teleporting the two of them away, just as Celestia did the same.
Moments before Twilight fired of the beam of Harmony, a circle of fire formed around Arkantos, drawing his attention from the beam about to hit him to it.
“NO! I WON’T BE TAKEN BACK! I’D RATH- ”
Before he could finish two magics collided with his body. The explosion they caused when they collided in him was glorious, sending everypony still in the square backwards with its’ force. Though, at least Twilight hoped, it was just a magical force pushing outwards, as heated blood hadn’t splattered across the entire square.
The six mares were sputtering and coughing, the smoke from the crater where Ark once stood filling the air.
“Ack…” Rainbow Dash gagged. “Holy… shit… what the hell caused that?”
Twilight had brought up a small shield to block the smoke from her face as she quickly stood up and rushed into the crater.
“Twi! It can’t be safe down there!” Rarity shouted after her.
The smoke quickly obscured their friend. “I need help down here!” Twilight called, Dash and Applejack instantly rushing down.
When they arrived they took notice of the heavy smell of sulfur in the air.
“What the hell is that?” Dash questioned, covering her nose.
“Sulfur.” Twilight said, “Now, please help me get him out of here!” Her magic was currently encasing Ark to lift him out of the molten slag he was unconscious in. For once sheens of sweat were dripping off his body, signaling something was definitely wrong, more so than his current unconscious state.
Applejack and Dash couldn’t even hope to touch him, his body was literally giving of enough heat that they’d get burns from moving within even a foot of him.
“There ain’t anythin we can do to help!” AJ shook her head.
“It’s like he’s the sun right now!” Dash added.
“Damn it! Then go get Celestia! She’ll be able to help me move him! If I let him down he’ll sink further into the slag, and I can’t lose him!” Twilight whimpered quietly.
“Alright, I’ll go locate her!” Dash quickly flew off and out of the crater.
“Ah’ll go get the others to clear out.” AJ said, quickly leaving Twilight alone.
“Oh… oh gods, please Ark…” Twilight said, her voice seeming to rouse something in him as he tried to move. Her eyes lit up, and with a renewed vigor she managed to move him a bit further away from the slag without her barrier falling apart. “Oh thank gods…” She said, now tearing up slightly.
Chapter 25: From The Ashes
Several minutes later:
Celestia swooped down, scanning the area for any unwanted presences. She found nothing and landed in the crater, seeing Twilight now holding the cooled off Arkantos. Though the young human was still unconscious and appeared to be in pain.
“Celestia!” Twilight looked up at her.
“Was there anypony else down there with him?” Celestia asked, quickly kneeling beside Twilight.
“No, he was all alone, why?”
“Just… don’t worry, if there wasn’t anypony else, than we have nothing to worry about.” Celestia sighed.
“No, you can’t be hiding things. That’s ALWAYS lead to trouble.” Twilight said.
“I’ll explain it to you and everypony else once we’re sure everything is safe.” Celestia said, “Let’s get Arkantos to the medical unit.” She gave Twilight a comforting smile.
Twilight however wasn’t any less stressed than she was the moment before, she looked to her unconscious lover. “Yes… Let’s.”
Ten minutes later:
Arkantos had been taken by the medical team and all essential personnel were working to make sure he didn’t die.
Now Twilight, her friends, and Chrysalis were gathered around Celestia, who had set herself up in the command tent.
“So, why did Luna teleport me out so quickly?” Chrysalis hummed. “Haaad to be important, right?”
Celestia took in a deep breath. “First, you were in direct danger, if the blast from the elements veered off and hit you, it could have been devastating. Secondly, Hades decided to grace us with his presence, more than likely… he was claiming something that belonged to him.”
“A… and what would belong to him?” Twilight muttered, fearing the absolute worst.
“The being that was inhabiting Arkantos’ body.” Celestia said. “It… wasn’t some ‘god’ but simply a demon he let in. How he got in contact with it? I don’t know. It should have been impossible without summoning or going to Tartarus itself.”
“He was bathing in pure magma when I first met him, well… stepping out of it at the very least.” Chrysalis spoke up.
Celestia froze up. “What?”
“He… was stepping out of magma?” Rainbow Dash muttered.
“T… that’s just his magic, right?” Twilight asked.
“That would give the demon plenty of access to Ark… But, how would it have escaped Hades’ detection?” Celestia sighed, “And… what did it take from Ark with it?”
Twilight’s eyes lit up, “Wait, it… could have taken something from Ark? We wo-”
“No, no… it wouldn’t have definitely taken something from him, and if it did… I’m sure if Hades takes a liking to Arkantos… it shouldn’t be too long before he returns it.” Celestia explained. “Hades is… eccentric. He does what he wants, but doesn’t care for any of us up here. He enjoys his job and realm far too much to even give one iota of care for even attempting a conquest of us… it’d be too much work for him.”
“But… lording over the most evil and vile things ever seen isn’t?” Chrysalis asked.
“He doesn’t lord over them. They fear him to the point of even hearing his name causes most of them to break down… if the things sealed in the deepest pits are true evil, Hades is their worst nightmare… A lot of ‘myths’ were changed… to completely erase him and a few others from history… solely because they took up different duties and didn’t want anything to go looking for them.” Celestia continued. “It wasn’t just my sister and I who originally wielded the Elements. Hades was also one of the bearers. That of Honesty. Even if he is cruel to those he imprisons… he won’t lie to any of them. He won’t lie to anything.”
“What…” Applejack mumbled.
“Don’t worry, you aren’t ‘destined’ to be anything but who you are.” Celestia assured, “He took up the mantle of guarding the depths because he saw no other creature fit to do so… and he’s been guarding them for centuries now.”
“So… which elements did you and Luna wield?” Twilight asked.
“I held the element of Loyalty… and Luna held Kindness.” Celestia said.
“Who were the others?” Rarity asked.
“No… I… can’t tell you. None of us can.” Celestia shook her head. “They wish to remain anonymous... I… can only tell you of Hades because he decided to return.”
“So, you’re just g…” Twilight trailed off, fully realizing why she’d keep something like this a secret… they were all scrubbed from history…
“Why wo…”
“There are things far more chaotic than Discord… more tyrannical than Chrysalis appeared to be…”
“Hey! I was not a tyrant. My children were starving…” Chrysalis muttered.
“You appeared tyrannical, today has proved otherwise.” Celestia sighed, “More evil than Nightmare Moon, and far… far more destructive and murderous than Sombra was. I pray that you’ll never battle any of them… I pray that the sacrifice they each gave was more than enough to seal them away forever…”
Everypony was silent at that last statement.
“But… enough of that for now… we have to alert the populace that all of you are alright.” Celestia said, walking to the entrance of the tent. “It’ll be a massive relief for everypony to find out all of you are unharmed… and hopefully, there will be a change in Arkantos’ condition.”
“I hope so…” Twilight mumbled quietly.
“If you’d prefer… you can stay with him.” Chrysalis spoke up, “Not many ponies would want to see me . But I could, at least temporarily act as you.” She offered, a genuinely kind hearted offer. “I’ll stop the charade right after we tell everypony what happened, well… of course when I’m out of sight.”
Twilight was silent for several long seconds as she thought. “Thank you.” She said, offering a small smile to Chrysalis. Chrysalis returned the smile before she turned into Twilight.
“And, for you… I do hope he comes back soon. It is painful for me to feel how badly off you are right now. It doesn’t sit right to feel you like this.” Chrysalis said, looking to Twilight’s friends who were eyeing her suspiciously.
“Girls, she won’t do any harm.” Both Twilight and Celestia said.
“She’s more than proven herself, going as far to offer her hive to help defend Canterlot, and almost coming to sacrifice her life for them as well.” Celestia continued.
“Just trust her.” Twilight begged, her horn slowly lighting up, “For me.” She teleported herself to the medical tent.
She found that the medical team was settling down, all of them sweaty and coming down from some sort of high, she at least hoped it was a high.
“Oh, thank the gods you’re here Princess!” One of the doctors said upon noticing her, all the others straightening up and turning to greet Twilight.
Several hours later:
I was slowly pulled from a dreamless sleep, the light overhead drawing all my attention to it. My head was throbbing and I could barely focus, it felt now as if someone had fully crushed my ribcage and used me like some sort of toy, slamming me against walls and the floor. But, the pain was slowly ebbing the longer I remained conscious. Now that I was fully waking up I was able to hear a quiet snoring beside me, I looked over and saw Twilight was asleep. Why was she here? Wasn’t she back at Ponyville? I reached over, my muscles aching from exertion that I couldn’t help but feel wasn’t my own, what had I done when I blacked out? Why was that little voice suddenly gone, and… why did I feel so much better for it?
Almost as if she felt my newly awakened presence Twilight’s eyes opened, her hands moving to hold mine. “You’re awake!” She gushed, lightly squeezing my hand and moving to the side of the bed.
“Yes… I am.” I smiled up at her, shakily moving her hand onto my chest, just to have at least part of her a bit closer.
“How are you feeling?” She giggled, leaning down and kissing my forehead.
“Like I’ve been trampled.” I joked, “But… I’m no worse for wear.”
“The way your body was expelling magical energy, it’s a shock you’re even awake… I’m just happy for that.” Twilight hugged me, nuzzling my neck as she shifted her hands up to my cheeks.
“I’m happy I’m alive.” I returned the gesture, caressing her cheeks. She kissed me deeply, showing just how truly happy she was to see me getting better. “Once we’re back in Ponyville, I’m going to take you out.” I said, pulling away from her lips.
“Isn’t that a little late? You’ve gotten me pregnant… and we’re nearly married.”
“Is that a reason to not get to know you better! I’d still love to know as much as I can about you…” I pulled her back into another kiss. “Is it?”
“I have an idea then… let’s hold off our wedding until we get closer, at least mentally…” She laughed.
“Great! Now… can I ask you for one more thing?” I inquired, smiling warmly.
“Anything.”
“Don’t leave.” I pulled her completely a top me, despite the slight discomfort I felt initially, her warmth and softness washed everything away.
“Why would I?” Twilight nuzzled my neck. “I’ll stay with you as long as you stay with me…”
“I love you, Twi.” I whispered, kissing her cheek as I hugged her close.
The following afternoon:
The populace had settled down over the course of the day, the guards and changelings were already hard at work cleaning up the scene of the battle, meaning it’d only be another day or so before everypony in Canterlot could fully return to their homes with no worries.
The girls were supremely worried about Twilight, as after she had gone to the medical tent they hadn’t seen her at all, the doctors and guards had been ordered to prevent anypony from entering, and none of them knew why .
Though, it wasn’t too late into the day before they saw their friend come back out, Arkantos’ slowly stumbling beside her as he tried to get used to feeling his body again. Twilight was absolutely beaming, giggling and nearly bouncing beside him. If there was even the slightest doubt in anypony’s heart about their love, this washed it away.
Now looking at Arkantos’ despite the tired and ragged look on his face, he appeared to be just as giddy, though he was far too weak to honestly show much energy. Though moments before they could reach the girls Nightlight, Shining, Velvet, and Cadance had swarmed in on them.
“He’s fine! Just please, don’t overload him.” Twilight pleaded.
“I’m not going to overload him.” Both Nightlight and Shining said simultaneously.
“I’m just worried about my…”
“Brother.” Shining finished.
“Son.” Nightlight finished.
Twilight’s smile grew. “Oh, that’s understandable, but, he’s doing just fine.” She nuzzled Ark, who gave her a soft kiss.
“Yeah, I’m doing just fine.” Ark nodded.
“That doesn’t make me worry any less. Especially after everything that’s happened…” Nightlight shook his head.
“I didn’t say don’t worry.” Ark laughed, “Why don’t we talk in a little bit? I’m not going anywhere until the doctors clear me.”
“Well, you do know where we live.” Velvet chuckled.
“And, you both will always be welcome in The Crystal Empire.” Cadance added.
“We’ll make sure to visit you both after we truly decide on where we’re going to do.” Twilight said, leading Ark off towards their friends.
“So…”
“So what?” Twilight asked.
“Is it just a single city… or, are there territories I’m missing?” Ark asked.
“It’s a single city.” Twilight replied, “Why is ther-”
“Then why call it the Crystal EMPIRE and not The Crystal City or… or anything besides Empire… it makes no sense.”
Twilight only smiled wider, “Why bring that up now of all times?”
“Because… well… I’m honestly just trying to make conversation.” Ark sighed.
“Ark, don’t worry. Just because we both decided to hold off the wedding in favor of getting closer… It doesn’t mean I love you any less.” Twilight cupped his cheeks just as they arrived in front of the other girls, she pulled him into a soft kiss. “And from now on, I’m going to call you Arky… Just so I can feel special when I call you…” She teased.
“I’d love that.” Ark smiled wider, returning the kiss.
“Yah look like yer doin pretty well.” Applejack complimented.
“It’s thanks to all of you that I am.” Ark replied, wrapping an arm around Twilight who was more than happy to hug herself against his body.
“Are you two planning anything special?” Pinkie asked.
“Actually… yes. We are.” Twilight nodded.
“Is it something big?” Rarity asked.
“We’re… actually holding off the wedding now. Just… to get closer together before it happens. Of course, we’ll have it before our foal is born…” Twilight said, nuzzling Ark’s neck.
“W… what?” Rarity said quietly.
“Really?” Rainbow Dash asked.
“Yeah, we both decided it was for the best.” Ark nodded. “It’s not like we’re breaking up, or calling off the wedding.”
“Both of those would be a lie.” Twilight added. “We just… decided it was for the best to get to know more about each other. Of course… that’ll give me much much more time to plan it all…” She lead on, waiting for it.
All the other girl’s faces lit up, “That means…”
“We can all help you get it perfect!”
Twilight smiled wider, looking to Ark who just laughed. “Keeping you girls out of it would be a crime against nature.”
“You’re damn right it would be.” Twilight nuzzled him lovingly.
Six months later:
The day of their wedding had finally rolled around, Twilight was really antsy. Not because of any perceived invasion (the changelings were already there, hell Chrysalis was in the room with her right now,) but she was agitated because she wanted everything to go so smoothly. Everypony in Equestria, and outside, was watching this wedding. This was unprecedented, not only did she get pregnant after becoming a princess, but for most of the world, it was some type of creature that they’d never seen before.
“Calm down.” Chrysalis spoke up, “You’ve got nothing to worry about.”
“How can you say that?” Cadance asked, “If she’s worried about her wedding, only going out there and finishing it will really make her feel better.”
“Psh.” Chrysalis huffed.
“Twilight, why don’t you tell us what’s wrong?” Rarity asked.
“We’re here to help.” Velvet nodded.
“It’s just… it feels like right now the entire world is watching me. I’m marrying somep… someone outside of any known species. Before we even got married, let alone before he proposed… he got me pregnant.” Twilight sighed. “I’m just thrown into the spotlight…”
“But, you won’t be alone.” Velvet stated. “Sweetie… you need to realize, the man waiting for you, he isn’t going to go anywhere. He’ll be right there to support you through whatever you need.”
“I’d honestly be surprised if he isn’t just as anxious… look at all he’s been through as well, he ended up here, in a new strange world… knowing absolutely nothing of us, not even coming through conscious! He nearly died twice so far! But, he still seems so defiant of everything, I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he’d fight his way out of Tartarus for you. Now look, he’s waiting out there, all because you said yes to marrying him… you, and the ponies in this room, and the room he’s in, are all he has. Most of the ponies outside of your friends and family…” Cadance began.
“And me.” Chrysalis added.
“And her, Celestia, and Luna… they’re all out there to watch you get married, this is a world changing event. But, forget about all of that. Forget about it being a ‘Royal’ Wedding. This is a day you’ve been planning for nearly six months now. Forget about the ‘show’ that the world’s expecting. Focus on your happiness. Focus on your life after today.” Cadance continued.
“Your sister’s right, Twilight. Don’t worry about the high expectations… I doubt after seeing six months of you at your best and worst… Arkantos would care if you ‘messed’ up today. He’ll just be happy to see you. Heck, these few hours before the ceremony are more than likely killing him. If Shining and Nightlight weren’t in there with him he’d probably have broken down every door between him and you.” Velvet laughed.
Cadance glanced to Chrysalis.
“Look, I’m not big on weddings… you probably couldn’t tell.” She chuckled. “The only part I like about them is crashing them… but, seeing as that was for a reason that simply can’t exist now… Take their advice. And heed mine, when you go out there, sure, everypony and everything on this world will be watching you. But they’ll always be watching you and your friends. There will be those waiting for you to slip up…”
“Oh, they’ll always be there…” Cadance sighed.
“Just let them watch and wait. You’re about to have a husband who not only helped save Equestria, but is considered a folk hero already by all of Canterlot. You two aren’t just royalty anymore. You’re two heroes unifying. You’ll have an entire massive city willing to back you two up. But you, you have family and friends to back you up in your time of need… Arkantos has my son, my drones… me, your family, and the few friends he’s made so far there for him. Why don’t you add yourself permanently to that list? Be there for him when only you can help him… where nopony else can ever tread.” Chrysalis straightened up. “Don’t let a group of snobby nobles and foreign royalty put you down. If you want something to focus on, focus on the regular ponies, and creatures watching this wedding. If what I heard about at your coronation was true… you have more than enough backing for this.” She laughed, walking up to Twilight. “Though really, why would you listen to me? The only thing I can do is read your emotions… though, your fiance has proven me to be inadequate at reading yours. Go out there, and get married, you don’t need it to be happy, you two are already ecstatic around each other…” She put her hand on Twilight’s shoulder, the violet alicorn looking right into her eyes. “Trust that together, you’ll be stronger than you ever were apart. If you keep that belief held close, nothing will tear you down.”
Twilight took in a deep breath.
“Wow that was…”
“Deep.”
“Sometimes I do give good advice.” Chrysalis laughed, “I have ruled my hive for hundreds of years… you learn quite a lot during that length of time.”
The door to the room opened up, Celestia peeking in. “Are you ready, Twilight?”
Twilight took in a deep breath and readied herself, “As ready as I’ll ever be.” She said.
“Then come, your father is waiting for you.” Celestia smiled.
Twilight let her veil down and slowly walked out of the room.
“You look stunning.” Celestia complimented.
“Thank you.” Twilight smiled.
“Twilight!” Nightlight ran in, smiling widely at his daughter.
“Hi, dad.” Twilight hugged him.
“Are you ready?” He asked.
“Of course.” She nodded.
“Great!” He took her hand, “Now, let’s see you two get married.”
“Yeah, let’s get the ceremony over with…” Twilight smiled, her father leading her to her waiting husband.
Chapter 4: Meet The Parents
Two hours later:
“I’m sorry I was so distrustful of you earlier.” Shining said after taking another bite out of his food.
“It’s fine… at least you weren’t as protective as I was over my sister.” Ark said, lightly kissing Twilight’s neck before feeding her another bite of food.
“You hav- had a sister?” Twilight asked.
“Yes… her name was Amanra she was named after my peoples Goddess of Beauty.” Ark said.
Twilight placed a hand on Ark’s cheek and pushed her back against his chest.
“As beautiful as my sister was… I have my goddess right here…” Ark whispered, kissing Twilight’s cheek.
Twilight giggled and laid further back, relaxing against his warm body.
“Ark if you don’t mind me asking… where were you before?” Cadence asked.
“I was previously the prince of the Ricanthian Empire.” Ark said.
Shining choked back a little food.
Cadence’s mouth fell open.
“Ark…” Twilight said softly.
“Hm? You should be eating…” Ark smiled, bringing another spoonful up to Twilight’s mouth.
Twilight smiled and took the spoon into her mouth.
“You were a prince…” Shining said in disbelief.
“Yes… I was.” Ark said, “But I feel I’m much better off where I am now… I’ll never have to sacrifice love to keep others happy… I only have to worry about…” He started before lightly tapping the end of Twilight’s nose, “You being happy… and if you’re happy I’m happy.” He smiled.
“What happened…” Cadence asked.
“I… don’t want to talk about it to you two… at least not right now… I just know without what happened I never would have ended up at Twilight’s feet… just inches from death…” Ark said quietly, “And I never would have ended up being able to hold, protect, love, and take care of her.” He gently massaged her stomach
“Mmmm… I may never go back to the spa again… even Aloe and Lotus can’t match what you can do…” Twilight said as she melted at his touch.
“It’s amazing what knowing the anatomy, pyromancy, and a soft touch can do…” Ark smiled.
“If… you don’t mind… what did being a prince… bring for you?” Shining asked.
“Pain… sadness… heartbreak… a lot of negative things… but I also made a lot of close friends. I’ve had great teachers and mentors that I love as though they were family. But… I wasn’t raised in a ‘royal’ or ‘noble’ environment. The guard raised me… the School Of The Elements raised me… I was raised by the people… not by the nobility.” Ark said.
“You have a school for The Elements of Harmony?” Shining asked.
Both Ark and Twilight shared a small laugh.
“No… no. I’m an Elementalist. Though I specialize in Pyromancy and Aquamancy.” Ark said.
“Oh… I get it now.” Shining nodded.
“You have seperate magic schools?” Cadence asked.
Ark nodded, “There are a few schools though there is an infinite amount of specializations… I’ll just give the basic schools.” He said.
“Now I know why you called me an Illusionist…” Twilight said.
“Back home you’d be more of a prize… a beautiful master illusionist…” Ark whispered, kissing her cheek, “Here I love that I won’t have to fight hundreds of mages just to get the chance to see you… let alone hold you…”
“Okay… before had I known you’d called my sister an illusionist… I would have gone berserk…” Shining said.
“Well from what I’ve heard of this woman named Trixie… I’m sure she’d be just as hated in my world… tricksters aren’t all too welcomed… they make a mockery of everything magic is based off of…” Ark said.
“You have NO idea.” Twilight said with an exasperated sigh. “Not only does she make a mockery OF magic but she lies about EVERYTHING.”
“Such as…?” Ark asked.
“She said she fought an Ursa Major… she couldn’t even tell the difference between a Minor and a Major…” Twilight said.
“She said she fought a constellation?” Ark questioned.
“No… no an Ursa Major is a really large creature… I’ll show you a few books on the animals that live here a little later.” Twilight said.
“Monsters are nothing new for me… just I hope the gods haven’t cursed your world with chimeras.” Ark said.
“They aren’t all that bad.” Twilight said.
“The one’s you know may not be… but ours are violent… monsters through and through.” Ark said.
“Wow…” Cadence mumbled.
“They’re hard to kill… but most of the monster species are.” Ark said.
“I’m guessing you’re ‘the master’ at killing those monsters.” Shining said.
“No.” Ark said. “I’m no master at killing those beasts. When I did regularly fight them I was just a soldier doing his duty.”
“A soldier…” Shining repeated slowly.
“What kind? If... there are different types of soldiers in your old world.” Cadence asked curiously.
“I was more of a battle mage. It’s a mix between a knight and a sorcerer. So I was trained in marksmanship, swordplay, fencing, riding, and large weapon combat.” Ark said.
“A knight… I like that…” Twilight said. “I know I’m safer with you around then.” She laid her head down against his chest and fell asleep rather quickly.
“She really loves you.” Cadence observed.
“And I really love her.” Ark said as he looked down at Twilight and smiled. He kissed her forehead which caused her to shift around a little.
After a moment Twilight smiled happily.
“I’m a little surprised… out of all the suitors she would have had… she’s chosen someone who isn’t even from Equestria.” Cadence said.
“He’s still better then a lot of them…” Shining said.
“Gods… I just remembered something…” Ark chuckled softly.
“What?” Cadence asked.
“And old courtship um… practice.” Ark said.
“What is it?” Shining asked curiously.
“Well for a noblewoman's attention the suitors would usually fight.” Ark started.
“There’s more…” Shining said.
“Sword to sword… or magic to magic. It wasn’t to the death… but someone usually died during the challenge… though I’ve never seen someone die because of something the other person did… just a few overpowered spells that blew up in their faces.” Ark said.
“And if we followed that I doubt anyone would ever get through you.” Cadence chuckled.
Just then Twilight’s phone dinged. She yawned and got it out of her pocket to check it. “Oh… looks like Dash decided to sleep over at Fluttershy’s… apparently Fluttershy was scared someone got into her house…” She mumbled.
“Is she alright?” Cadence asked.
“Yeah… just scared out of her mind.” Twilight said.
“That’s good.” Ark smiled.
Twilight set her phone down on the table and closed her eyes again as she nuzzled her head against Ark’s chest.
Ark gently cradled her head with one hand.
Twilight smiled and looked up at him.
Ark leaned down and pecked her on the lips.
“You two really remind me of us when we were still dating...” Cadence smiled.
“Yeah.” Shining nodded.
“Especially right towards the end.” Cadence said, her smile widening.
Shining coughed a little, “Um…” He mumbled.
Twilight’s smile only widened.
“How could I ever not?” Ark asked.
“If I didn't want a little break…” Twilight whispered.
Ark kissed her again and they held it for a little bit.
“I was actually hoping that it wouldn’t go… well that was already out the door by the time we got here.” Shining sighed.
Ark pulled back from the kiss and smiled widely.
“What?” Twilight asked.
Ark remained silent and entwined his hands with hers.
“Twilly…” Shining said.
Twilight glanced over at Shining. “Yeah?” She asked.
“I feel before you two get really serious about getting married you should at least take him to meet mom and dad.” Shining said.
Twilight smiled and looked up at Ark. “That’s a great idea!” She said happily.
“I’d love to.” Ark said, kissing Twilight on the cheek.
The four of them appeared in Canterlot square in a bright flash.
Ark stumbled after he took a step and he fell into Twilight, his head now rested against her breasts.
“I’d ask if you were okay… but.” Twilight giggled.
Ark chuckled a little as he straightened himself up and pulled her against his body. “Let’s go meet your parents before we go at it again…” He said.
“Let’s just hope we can make it…” Twilight said, tugging him onward.
“I’m sure Princess Celestia would love to meet him too. So I’ll go get her.” Shining said.
“Yeah yeah…” Twilight said almost dismissively, waving Shining off.
Shining sighed and headed off towards the castle.
“Is there anything I should expect from your parents?” Ark asked.
“Besides being overprotective… not much.” She said.
“This should be a fun first visit then.” He joked.
“Is this it?” Ark asked.
“Yep… Maybe you should let me go first.” Twilight said, knocking on the door.
“Let you go?” He smiled, wrapping his arms around her again. “That’d be a mistake.” He started kissing her neck and cheek.
Twilight smiled. “I’m serious. Stop being so… you.” She said.
He paused for a moment before pulling her into a kiss.
The door opened up and the man who opened it stared at Twilight and Ark in complete disbelief. After a moment his lip curled and his horn sparked to life.
Ark was thrown back onto the ground.
“Dad what the hell!” Twilight snapped. Her horn lit up and gently lifted Ark to his feet.
“When you said overprotective… I didn’t expect to almost end up in the hospital again.” Ark said.
“I should be the one asking why a th- man I have never in my life SEEN before was bending you over in front of our house.” Twilight’s dad said.
“He wasn’t ‘bending me over’ he was kissing me. Maybe you and mom should try it more.” Twilight groaned.
“He’s your boyfriend then?” Her dad asked.
“Soon to be more than that…” She said.
“Why haven’t you told us about you having a boyfriend?” Her mom asked as she stepped out of the house. She looked over Ark.
“I’m telling you now. It’s not like we’ve been together for very long. Or would you have preferred I run to you when I see a boy I like, you know… Because I don’t deserve privacy at all.” Twilight said.
“I’m just curious as to why if you haven’t been together for that long you two are thinking about marriage.” Her mom said. “But I do like him.”
Twilight smiled. “Thank you…” She said, walking up and hugging her mother.
“If you love him then that’s enough for me to trust him.” Her mom smiled as she hugged Twilight back.
“Both of you come inside… I want to get to know your boyfriend before I decide on an answer.” Her dad said.
Twilight’s head snapped to her dad, glaring angrily as she pushed a finger painfully into his chest. “We’re not coming inside until you apologize to him.” She stated, prodding his chest again.
Her dad stepped back, “Okay… I’m sorry I threw you to the ground…” He said quickly.
“It’s fine… I’m not hurt and that’s good.” Ark said.
“Good.” Twilight said, smiling as she looked back to her mother and grabbing her hand. “I’ve got so much to tell you.” She giggled, running inside quickly.
Her mom walked inside after her.
“And that is why I fear most women.” Ark said.
“Yes… that’s why I do too.” Twilight’s dad nodded.
“My name’s Arkantos.” Ark said, sticking out his hand.
“Night Light.” Night said, taking Ark’s hand and shaking it. “Come inside.”
Ark and Night walked inside the house.
“That’s great!” Twilight’s mom said happily.
“You two sit down.” Twilight said.
Ark and Night both sat down.
“I’m surprised Shining isn’t with you though…” Twilight’s mom said.
“Oh he’ll be here. He’s just getting Celestia is all…” Twilight said.
“I know that’ll go well.” Her mom said.
“Yes… quite well…” Night nodded.
“Mom, Ark, why don’t you two introduce yourselves.” Twilight smiled widely.
“Same one I gave Cadence and Shining?” Ark asked.
Twilight nodded.
“Then… My name’s Arkantos. And… well I was a prince… buut… that’s not important anymore.” Ark said.
Night’s head snapped to Ark and he stared at Ark.
“A prince?” Her mother asked.
“Yeah… once. Through a massive… massive chain of events… I’ve got no blood family left…” Ark said quietly.
Twilight took a seat next to Ark and hugged him.
“I’m not going to ask what happened… Losing any family hurts a lot… and it rarely ends well to tear open a wound like that.” Her mom said.
“Take good care of my daughter.” Night said.
“He has been… Trust me dad, he’s really a good guy…” Twilight said sincerely.
Ark wrapped his arm over Twilight and smiled. “And I intend to keep taking care of you.” He said.
“That’s strange…” Twilight’s mom mumbled.
“What’s wrong?” Twilight asked.
“Nothing’s wrong per say… it’s just I’ve never seen a magical aura like that.” Her mom said.
“Mom? Your horn…” Twilight said, pointing to the obvious glow emanating from her mother’s head.
“Hm? Oh yes. I was just checking something.” Her mom said as the glow died down. “I was curious as to why the couch would sink like that when you don’t look all that heavy… and now I know why.”
“Why?” Night asked.
“His body temperature is much higher then I figure it should be.” She said.
“Are you sick?” Night asked, quickly looking back at Ark.
“No.” Ark said.
Twilight smiled and looked at Ark. “You think we should tell them?” She chuckled.
“I don’t see why not… I mean it’s not like it’s much of a secret to most of the people in this room.” Ark said.
“If you don’t mind me asking how was it?” Twilight’s mom asked.
Twilight blinked a few times. “How was what?” She asked.
Twilight’s mom laughed a little, “You’re first night in the same bed.” She said.
“O… oh…” Twilight blushed.
“Oh don’t be shy Twilight… you’re father’s a great cuddler too.” Her mom giggled.
“Oh um… yeah… It was good.” Twilight nodded, seeming to relax a little into the couch.
“Just good? Is there anything else you want to say about it?” Her mom asked.
“Um… no that’s about it.” Twilight said.
“And on that topic how was your first time?” Her mom asked.
Ark stiffened up completely.
Twilight covered her face and shrunk down beside Ark.
“Honey…” Night said.
“What? I just want to make sure she’s happy being with him. And this is telling me everything I need to know.” Her mom said.
“Next your going to ask abo-” Night was cut off.
“Was it heated?” Her mom asked.
“Literally…” Twilight nodded slowly, her face still covered.
“And then…” Night said.
“And size wise how is he?” Her mom asked.
Ark looked straight down at the ground.
“Um…” Twilight mumbled. “In comparison… to what?”
“To your father.” Her mom said calmly.
“What?” Night questioned in pure disbelief.
Twilight’s hands slowly moved away from her face and she looked between Night and Ark. “On a scale of 1 to 10… Sorry dad.” She said before starting to giggle.
“You’re father is pretty big so I wouldn’t count him out just yet…” Her mom giggled.
“Well let’s compare then.” Twilight suggested.
Her mom stared at her. “Are you sure you want to humiliate one of them THAT badly?” She asked.
“Oh okay… I see how it is.” Twilight said.
“I am not taking off my pa- And they’re off…” Night sighed as his pants disintegrated.
“I don’t have a choice now do I?” Ark asked.
“No.” Twilight and her mother said simultaneously.
Ark sighed quietly and took his pants off.
“Why isn’t he wearing underwear?” Night asked.
“We’ll talk about that later… now come over here.” Twilight said.
“I feel this would work better if they were hard.” Her mom said, “It’s just too uncertain to measure when they’re soft…”
Twilight’s hand moved to Ark’s dick and started teasing it.
Ark bit his lip for a moment as his dick hardened. He looked at Twilight before pulling her into a kiss.
Twilight continued to stroke him with one hand and caress his cheek with her other.
“Velv…” Night said softly as he kissed his wife.
“Shh. We’ll do that after we’re done here…” She smiled as she started stroking Night’s dick.
Ark massaged Twilight’s breasts through her shirt.
Twilight pulled away. “Good enough.” She said, nudging Ark towards Night.
Both Ark’s dick and Night’s stood fully erect.
“Would you look at that…” Velvet said.
“Well I guess no one will be getting ‘humiliated’” Twilight said.
“Best save that sort of stuff for later… right now this is already turning into too much to not want to… do more...” Velvet said, glancing over at Twilight. “What do you think about that?”
“Sex?” Twilight asked.
“Sex.” Velvet nodded.
“Okay.” Twilight smiled.
Ark pulled Twilight back into a kiss and hauled her onto his lap. His shirt was thrown to the side a short time later.
“It’s too bad marriage usually… kills that passion…” Velvet said.
“I was constantly working…” Night mumbled.
“I know sweetie… now you’re not.” She said as she got onto his lap and started kissing him.
Twilight’s magic shot to life and her clothes disappeared. “Stripping takes too long…” She stated before kissing him again.
Ark started massaging her breasts again as he ground his dick around her entrance.
Twilight’s magic started massaging his length as her pussy started coating it in juices.
Velvet moaned loudly as Night pushed his length into her. “There… so… much better…” She panted.
Ark pushed Twilight’s hips down, sliding her down to the base. “Amazing…” He mumbled.
“Oh yeah…” Twilight said with a long sigh.
He took her nipple into his mouth and started nibbling and teasing it as he started to softly bounce her.
“Ngghohhhh…” Twilight moaned, gripping his shoulders tightly.
Velvet and Night were passionately making out as Night thrust in and out of her.
Twilight felt Ark slide two fingers into her ass and piston in time with each of his bounces. He pulled away from her breast momentarily, “Tell me what you want…” He said softly.
Twilight grunted lightly with each bounce. Her magic tightened along with her pussy around his length, both now milking him roughly.
Ark moaned loudly as he started bouncing her a little harder. After a moment Twilight felt his dick heat up a little bit more.
Twilight moaned loudly, her whole body shivering with pleasure. “Ark…” She panted.
“Twilight…” He grunted, pulling her down into a kiss.
Twilight closed her eyes, grinding her hips slowly as she fell into the kiss.
After a moment she felt his member throb and twitch. After a few twitches his cum flooded into her.
Twilight shook as her orgasm hit, continuing to spasm around his throbbing and unloading dick.
Night came inside of Velvet and both of them moaned loudly.
Twilight collapsed onto Ark’s chest as her orgasm subsided. She was still panting heavily.
Ark ran his hands through her hair as he cradled her body.
“If this is how I’m going to be treated everytime… just barricade my bedroom door we’ll never be leaving again…” Twilight joked.
“But then you’d never get to show me off…” Ark said.
Twilight grabbed his head and kissed him. She started moving her hips on her own.
Their tongues entwined and they moaned simultaneously.
Ark thrust up in time with her movements sending a solid stream of pleasure through both their bodies.
Night laid beside Velvet and they both continued to kiss and cuddle.
“Mmm look at those two… so young and so full of fire.” Velvet said.
“With him… I’m hoping it lasts… I’ve never seen any ‘love at first sight’ relationships work all that well…” Night sighed.
“Don’t worry… I know they’ll make it.” Velvet said comfortingly.
“And Velv…” Night said.
“Hm?” Velvet mumbled.
“What do you mean so full of fire? I haven’t even started yet…” Night said as he thrust back into his wife causing them both to moan loudly.
“Mmm go right ahead…” Velvet cooed.
Chapter 13: Change Of Plans
Later that day:
There was a soft knocking on the bedroom door. Ark stood up and almost ran over to it, as he opened the door he felt a sudden sharp pain in his stomach, quickly followed by a warm wet feeling. He stumbled backwards and a shiny black creature stepped into the room.
“What… who…” Ark mumbled as he slid onto the floor.
“If I had known it was this easy I’d have taken you out sooner.” The creature said as it shoved Ark flat on his back with its’ foot. It pressed heavily down on Ark’s chest.
Ark struggled weakly against the weight bearing down on him. The creature laughed quietly and a muted green magic surrounded the open door and closed it. “You know before you showed up I was beginning to lose any hope that I’d be able to succeed in taking control… I was going to have to resort to degrading myself by actually stepping in and dating that pathetic creature.” It said hatefully. “And I was about to lose my chance before your uncle was he? Well before he came in… All eyes are on him after the last incident... That give me ample time to get rid of you.”
“What the he…” Ark trailed off as he saw the creature begin to change into… him. Ark’s struggling began anew as the changeling pressed further down on his body.
“Just die already, you’re making this harder then it needs to be by staying alive.” Ark’s mirror image said mockingly. Ark felt his strength slowly leave him as more blood rushed out of the knife wound in his stomach. “There we go.” The copy said.
Ark’s vision darkened slowly as the weakening grasp of consciousness let go of him.
“That’s it… sleep. Let death take you.” The copy said, his voice fading away into nothing as Ark fell from the land of the living.
The changeling king stepped over the body and walked over to the closet to get dressed. He didn’t notice the crimson aura surrounding the body or it vanishing from sight. “Finally. My plans are coming to fruition.” The changeling king laughed. He didn’t notice the tall and slender black figure hovering outside of the window to the bedroom, glaring at him.
A full year after Twilight gave birth:
It had been a long and absolutely hellish year for Twilight and Arkantos. Their two foals, Inferno, a small colt, though he was just as fiery as his name gave off, several times he nearly destroyed their home with his bursts of magic. Arkantos was the only one able to truly stop the blazes their son created.
The other a filly named Whisper was even worse though, she was quiet and mild mannered most of the time. But when she wanted anything she’d let EVERYPONY in a three mile radius know. Her magic was hard to detect, somehow able to create small runes naturally, there’d be accidental traps set up all over her room and crib, anypony unlucky enough to set them off would be teleported somewhere completely different (duh)… The hired foalsitter became quite intimate with the Crystal Empire before she quit. Now, Cadance and Shining had a room set up for whomever got teleported to the Crystal Empire.
From where it always teleported them, The Crystal Empire, Canterlot, and sometimes to wherever Twilight was, it appeared that her teleportation magics honed in on alicorns.
Twilight had begun to postulate that Whisper was developing more ‘human’ magics, while Inferno was more of a pony in his magical skill. They also provided great research for their mother (though it was only visual as she outright refused to let any harm come to them). As Celestia and Luna provided no help with alicorn foals, the two first time parents were nearly on their own. Had it not been for Cadance’s helpful hand (she desired to learn as much as possible about alicorn foals in preparation for her own foal when she decided to have one), and Twilight Velvet’s own experience, they were able to survive.
Now, one year in the foals appeared to be magically calming down, explosions and bonfires weren’t any everyday occurrence. Nor were random teleportations, and they were finally able to cool off.
It was the first real time off they had since the birth, and neither was going to squander it. They had gotten Cadance and Shining to watch the foals, and the two had just dropped them off with them. Now they were on their way to a private beach with the other girls for a few days to just relax… it was going to be perfect.
After nearly a full day on the rails, they had finally made it to the resort town nestled near the beach. Ark and Spike were quick to carry everything off, leaving the six best friends plenty of time to have fun before any of their reservations came up.
The six mares were exploring the town, none of them having ever had been here before.
“This is amazing! It’s so beautiful here!” Rarity was in awe.
“Yeah! It’s going to be sooo much fun here!” Pinkie nodded.
“Alright, what are we going to do first? We have an entire week to be here, well… at least Ark and I do.” Twilight sighed.
“Why don’t you just keep in contact with Shining and Cadance? Then you can spend an extra day or two here before going back to Inferno and Whisper?” Fluttershy offered.
“Heh… after Inferno nearly torched Ponyville last week… I bet Cadance is going to have one hell of a time.” Rainbow Dash chuckled.
Everypony stopped around them, hell, not even everypony knew what they were talking about.
“That was a terrible pun.” Rarity stated firmly.
“Since yah ain't gonna be ashamed of yerself, ah guess all of us are gonna be.” Applejack said.
“Whaaat? I thought it was funny!” Dash groaned.
“It was not! The ENTIRE town nearly burned down.” Twilight crossed her arms.
“Yeah, but everypony in town ended up in Canterlot! It was a nice way to drop in wasn’t it?” Dash couldn’t help herself.
Twilight smiled a little. “I guess .”
“I’ll give you that one…” Pinkie laughed.
“Just… please don’t make any more?” Fluttershy asked.
“Don’t worry… I don’t have any more to make.” Dash assured. “Besides, we’re here to have fun, not make terrible jokes, right?”
“Yeah! So let’s go have fun!” Pinkie nodded, her Applejack and Fluttershy running off to go explore together. Rainbow Dash took to the air and began to explore too.
“So, what does Ark have planned for you two tonight?” Rarity asked.
“We’re going out to dinner, and then after… well, he doesn’t really let me too deeply into his plans… he still wants to surprise me, even if it always just end with us making love for most of the night.” Twilight giggled, a small blush coming over her face.
“And that’s a bad thing for you two?” Rarity laughed.
“Never.” Twilight shook her head, “He just wants to impress me, and… well, he can’t anymore.” She sighed, “I already know his best, and… it’s always what he gives me. If I need him, he’s there by my side… if I want him, he’ll sweep me off my feet… he’ll never let me down again.”
“We should have trusted you completely from day one… you two have ended up being so perfect together.” Rarity said.
“But?”
“There is no but about it. You two were meant for each other, and you’ve more than made the lives of everypony around you so much better… I’m sure Ponyville will honestly feel less action packed when your foals grow up, it’ll make everypony a bit sadder.”
“I doubt that…”
“Just go and ask anypony how they feel about your foals… they adore them. We all do.” Rarity hugged Twilight, “Now, why don’t we go join everypony else, we’re burning daylight!” She smiled widely, Twilight smiling back at her.
“Yeah, what are we waiting for?” Twilight grinned, the two mares rushing into the town to explore as much as they could.
