Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

Let Sleeper Dogs Lie

by neorenamon

Now that the tea and the apparent humiliation of Celestia were out of the way, Princess Luna was ready to move on to the part where she'd find out just why Celestia had dragged her all the way out there in the middle of her night.  Rarity had them move away from the center of the storage room as she opened a hidden panel, flipped a lever, and a platform lowered down from the ceiling.  Another level folded up from a hidden place in the platform.

Luna looked about, and seemed surprised that she was the only one who didn't seem to know about the whole mechanical affair.  So she followed Celestia, Spike, Bakabaka and Rarity onto it.  She could see the first level fall back into the wall and the secret panel close behind it as Rarity signalled for the platform to go down into the ground.

As she was standing by her big sister, she took a moment to look her over again.  She noticed that while her legs were no longer tightly tied together, they were tethered together with a hobble that left only about a foot of space between her hooves.  It allowed her to walk easily enough, but certainly any faster form of movement was out of the question.  Even with her muzzle still tied with the silk ribbons, she could see that she was smiling as Luna looked at her.

She wondered just how much big sister had changed in the thousand or so odd years she had be imprisoned within the moon.

As the platform lowered, she saw Bakabaka slip up behind Celestia and groped both of her breasts rather blatantly.  She could see Rarity glance in their direction, and at least she gave passive approval by not commenting about it.  Celestia's soft moans began to attract Spike's attention as well, but he also did not comment about it.

The platform came to a stop a few floors down.  She found herself in a large room where magical lights came on.  The room she saw was full of things she had only imagined before then.  In one corner, she saw a large number of pony, griffin and changeling mannequins in various outfits she could only describe as kinky.  In another corner was a number of mechanical devices that she was sure were used to both punish and arouse both the subject and the ones watching them.  In the center of the room was a sitting area surrounding something that looked like an altar of some sort.  Judging by all the chains around it, she wondered just what sort of things happened to the one who got chained on top of it.

On the walls all around were paintings of various nude mares naked and bound in various ways as well as a few stallions.  It seemed that every painting was intensely erotic in nature.  There was a few painting she could see of Princess Celestia.  One showed her bound standing just as she was at that very moment.  Another showed her tied upside down spread eagle as a personal part of her body was used as a holder for a giant lit candle with dripping wax.  The last showed her tied over a pommel buck with her bare red flank facing the painter.  Yet in every case, Celestia looked like she couldn't be any happier about the whole thing.  Celestia's paintings were by far the largest she could see.

She also saw a painting of Spike in his barbarian Master costume, and one of Bakabaka in her maid uniform getting her bare flank spanked over Spike's knee.

But there was a number of painting that she had not expected to see at all.

One showed Cadance bound nude into a kneeling position muzzled and saddled as Shining Armor leaned over her from the back with a hand on one of her shoulders.  He was holding a riding crop in the other hand, and had quite the nefarious looking grin on his face.  If he was wearing anything, it was surely blocked by his wife's body.  Yet her eyes didn't appear to be stressed or fearful at her situation.  She wasn't crying.  In fact, she was sure that the corners of Cadance's mouth was turned up in a grin.  That painting was the closest in size to the paintings of her big sister.

Another showed Snips and Snails in a classroom with a mare tied over the front desk she could only assume was Miss Cheerilee.  Her hide was the right color, after all, but her cutie mark couldn't be seen with her legs tied to the corners of the desk.  They both had wicked grins on their face as they had one of their hands on her flanks, and she seemed to have been spanked for quite some time.  Her flanks were quite red, and she could even see some signs of arousal from her mareslit when she got close enough to the painting.  While they wore normal clothing, there was no sign of such on the bound mare.

She saw one of Gilda the Griffin hogtied nude while hanging upside down by a rope from a very thick tree limb.  One leg was straight up while the other was tied folded down so that her sex could clearly be seen.  In fact, she could swear it was a Golden Delicious Apple Tree laden with ripe fruit.  With her beak tied, it was hard to tell if she were smiling about her situation.

Another painting that took her aback was one of a nude Fluttershy tied upside down by her ankles with her legs spread wide.  Her arms and wings were bound behind her back while she was tightly muzzled.  Just behind her with a cow-pie eating grin and the second largest erection she had ever seen was Big Macintosh.  When she looked closely, she could just see his hand over her mareslit with at most one or two fingers inside her birth canal, and she was clearly very wet.  Her cheeks were flushed bright red.

"How do you like my little art collection?" asked Rarity as she looked at Luna staring.

Then she saw one with Twilight undressed in her own bed.  She was grabbing hands full of her own sheets as she could see the upper part of Spike's body on the end of the bed, and he was clearly licking at Twilight's mareslit.  She could see that at the time, Twilight was not an alicorn, but still a unicorn.  Her head was thrown back as she was clearly moaning.

"What manner of fantasy are these?"

"Oh, you think these are fantasies?" asked Rarity with a grin.

"We can see NO other way how such personal scenes could have been..." said Luna, but she suddenly stopped to gasp.

"Oh, we all have our little secrets, don't we?"

Luna looked about as she realized that EVERY painting had been done by the same hand.

"And I don't just let ANYPONY come down here to see them," she cooed into Luna's ear, "but let me show you my latest addition..."  She walked over to an easel covered by a cloth.  Luna was both curious and slightly scared by what she was about to see underneath the cloth.  She did in fact gasp aloud as she saw a painting of herself sitting in a chair with Celestia bound over her knees just as she had been upstairs only a short while earlier.  They were in fact both naked with Luna looking down on her big sister with a blush in her cheek, and Celestia smiling in spite of her muzzle being bound with silk ribbons.

"HOW COULD YOU HAVE ALREADY?!.." said Luna shocked beyond her beliefs.

"Ancient Chinneighs secret," replied Rarity quietly.

Luna could only look at Rarity with a mixture of fear and respect.   There was dozens of much smaller paintings that she hadn't even looked at closely yet.  She just stared slack-jawed as Rarity took the painting, walked over to an empty spot on the wall, and hung the new painting there.

"I think it truly captures Princess Luna's grace and beauty," she said as she looked at Spike and Bakabaka.

"Oh yeah," sighed Spike, "She's almost as awesome as you."

"Oh you are such a flatterer!"

"I can surely agree with such delight," said the maid, "When I say that Master Spike is quite right."

"You're going to swell my head something horrible if you don't stop carrying on about me like that!"

"But of all the paintings," said Luna, "We do not see a single one of you."

Rarity frowned for a fraction of a second as she said, "Oh, that doesn't matter to me."

"SURE THERE IS!" cried Spike as she took Luna's hand and dragged her all the way to the end of the wall.  There in the corner was a small painting of a nude Rarity holding up her hand.  Judging by the way she was oriented, it had to be a painting of her own reflection, and she wondered why her hand was positioned like she was holding a brush that just wasn't there.  It was also positioned like she was reaching for a canvas just out of view.

"Oh Spikey-wikey," whined Rarity, "She didn't have to see that.  It's so... so... embarrassing to me."

But it confirmed in Luna's mind that Rarity was in fact the one who painted it all.

"Oh it's surely one of the best paintings of all of them!" gushed Spike.

"One could almost swear that all of these paintings were done... by you... and yet you were upstairs with us the whole time... so one must wonder just how many of you... there really are..."

"Oh Princess Luna!!" laughed Rarity, "That's just so... SILLY!!"

Spike blinked as he asked, "More than one Miss Rarity?"  He could still clearly remember the time that Ponyville was overrun by a horde of Pinkie Pies.

Luna boldly strolled over to the painting before anypony could act and sniffed it.  As she guessed, the paint was in fact still wet as it hung from the wall.  It was fresh oil paints.  She knew she was right by Rarity's nervous laugh before she even turned just far enough to look at her with one eye.

"We shall discus this matter with you later... *privately.***"

It seemed that Celestia, Spike and Bakabaka were clearly missing her more subtle points, but she could tell that Rarity was painfully aware of every nuance in her words.

"Of course, my Princess," she replied awkwardly, "but surely it's time to show you the special outfits!"

She followed Rarity over to the mannequins as she noticed how many of them seem to perfectly mimic some of the mares she had seen elsewhere.  In fact, three of them matched her physique perfectly even though they were all pearl white in color.

The first outfit was lacey black silk that as she expected, covered almost every part of her body except for her breasts, pussy and cutie marks.  A domino-style mask concealed much of her face other than her muzzle and eyes.  Each side had three garter belts to hold up the stockings from a broad belt.

"Certainly this would make a scene in the Royal Court, wouldn't it?" mused Luna.

Rarity laughed, "Oh, this surely isn't for the leering gaze of the Royal Court, my Princess!"

The others simply blinked at their exchange.

"How did you get such accurate detail about us?" she asked as she touched the mannequin.

"They're made of an expensive and powerfully enchanted wood with a glossy paint coating, my dear," gushed Rarity with pride, "I simply use my magic to reshape them as needed.  Almost any detail but their color can be changed by my imagination."

In the corner of her eye, she saw a figure that perfectly matched the shape and form of Celestia.  She was wearing thick leather bands about her neck, waist, hips, wrists, ankles, forearms, forelegs, biceps and thighs.  Each band had eight steel loops spread about it, and it appeared that they could be used in conjunction with ropes to quickly bind Celestia into almost any position one could think of quite quickly and easily.

"The other outfits can wait," sniffed Luna as she took Celestia and pushed her back towards the middle, "We feel... the growing need... that we should cuddle awhile with big sister..."

"Of course!" replied Rarity, and then she turned to Spike and said, "Why don't you take Miss Bakabaka back up and have some quality time with her?"

"Will my lady have no need," she replied, "of any service needing my speed?"

"No no, my dahling.  I'm sure we'll get along just fabulously!"
