Shining armor's Jewels

"Two days."

A white young unicorn stallion with a blue mane and a shield as his cutiemark paced nervously through his room on a seemingly normal night. Ever since he could remember, he wanted to join the royal guard to help others. But now, after he signed his admission contract, he felt anxious. In two days his whole life would revolve around the royal guard or he'd stay who he is now. Yes, he signed the admission contract, but he also knew that he could still resign without consequences. After all, the royal guards knew that such a decision is difficult, especially for a young stallion.

His father wasn't too happy about his obsession with the guard, and who could blame him? Joining the guard is a major change, which will change his son forever. And not everypony understood why some traditions still existed in today’s world.

With heavy steps, he walked over to his desk and fell into his chair. He looked out of the window while thoughts ran through his mind.

Was this the right thing? How badly do I want to be in the royal guard? Was the sacrifice too great? He looked down at his family jewels.

He sighed as he stared into the distance again.

Is this the right thing to do? Does he want to be a royal guard? Yes. But is the price he has to pay too high?

He looked down at his balls. If he really wants to be a guard, his testicles would have to go and he would have to get used to the thought of being a gelding.

He sighed again. A gelding. It wouldn't be a social shame or anything. After all, the royal guard has a very good reputation and are publically recognized as an honorable organization. But what about having foals. That would be a topic that would definitely never be a matter again.

He groaned, slamming his head onto his desk.

Suddenly, a knock on his door brought him back to his senses. He quickly snapped back to attention and watched as the door slowly opened.

"Shining...?" a gentle female voice called out to him. Twilight Velvet, his mother lightly pushed open the door. "Are you alright...? We missed you during dinner..."

Shining armor looked away and replied, "I'm fine mum..."

"Shining... Don't try that one with me... I'm your mother and I know you better than that." she said putting her hoof around his shoulder. Shining looked up and his mother gave him a reassuring smile.

The young unicorn knew that avoiding his mother was futile... It always was. But then again, even if it was uncomfortable at first, she always knew how to make his doubts go away.

"It's... I don't know what to do, mum... I want to be a guard... but..." a slight hiccup showed in his voice "I'm so torn apart. I know father doesn't want me to do this... And then there is this tradition thing."

He desperately wanted to avoid saying "my gelding" or "my castration".

"Shining... I know your father isn't happy about it... And I guess it's a male thing. “She came closer and hugged him "But know that, no matter what you decide, we will always be your family. This is your decision and this time, you have to make it for yourself. If being a guard is what you really want, then you should do it. And I know your father... He will get over it eventually. He's a big old softie and I know he can't hold a grudge for long." she smiled and hugged him.

"You should talk to your father tomorrow. I'm sure you'll feel better after that. Now, get some sleep." Velvet slowly walked back towards the door and looked back at her son. "It’ll be alright if you want to follow your dreams. Sleep tight, Shining."

Shortly before she could close the door, Shining’s voice was heard again.

"Mum?"

"Mh?" she peaked inside again.

"Thank you."

KNOCKKNOCK
"Yes...?"

"Alright, I'll do this..." Shining mumbled as he gently opened the door to his father’s workroom with his magic. As he stepped inside he gently closed the door behind him.

"Ah, Shining. What can I do for you?" his father said with a smile on his face.

"Dad,... Uhm I.. Wanted to talk with you..." he approached his father’s desk.

"Alright, what do you want to talk about?"

"About me joining the royal guard."

"Ah..." his smile faded slightly.

"Dad, I know you don't want me to join them, but I want to help protect other ponies."

Nightlight sighed. "Yes, I know. You always think of others..”

Several awkward minutes of silence passed painfully between them.

"So, why don't you want me to do it...?" Sighing asked as he laid his hooves harder than he intended on the desk, making a demanding clopping noise.

"Shining, it's quite simple, actually." He paused. "I want grandchildren. With Twilight out of the house and you're growing up so quickly... I just hoped you'd look for a nice mare and settle down with her."

"Dad... I had no idea... But what about Twilight? It's not like I'm your only child..."
Suddenly his dad started laughing. It wasn't an acted laugh, rather a genuine, hearty laugh.

"Shining... Do I really know more about Twilight than you?"

"Wha...?"

His dad looked at him, a dead serious look in his face, "Shining, Twilight is a fillyfooler."

The white unicorns chin must have hit the floor when his father told him about his sister.

"Yes, Shining, you've the only stallion she's been with so far..." he chuckled.

"But she.... Wait, WHAT?!? How did you...." Shining’s usually white face grew red as a tomato.

"...know about it? Shining, you two might have been quiet about it, but... Well let's say not quite quiet enough." he chuckled, wiping a tear from his eye.

Shining stood there trembling, sweating and blushing like never before. He wished he would just disappear into nothingness and was expecting the worst.

"Shining, relax." he chuckled "If I wanted to use it against you, I would have done so already."

"B-but..." he stammered confused.

"Do you think I was never a young horny stallion?” he smiled. "I did some strange things too back then... But I better not go into details there... I think you are embarrassed enough.” He finished and took a big gulp from his coffee cup.

"Anyhoof, Shining, if you want to become a guard, then go for it. Yes, I want grandchildren, but I won't stop you from what you think is the right. Just please, be sure it really is what you want."

Nightlight stood up, slowly walking around his desk, right towards Shining.

"This is a decision only you and you alone could and should make. And don't worry about me. I'll get over it." he chuckled again as he placed one hoof on Shining Armors shoulder.

So, here he was, at the royal guard hospital. He looked up at the round clock on the wall, directly over the counter at which he checked in about 30 minutes ago. 8:17... His appointment was supposed to be at 8:00 o'clock. Waiting longer than he had to wasn't making this any easier.

He saw quite a few young stallions enter through the door next to the counter and then leave again... But they weren't exactly stallions anymore. He couldn’t help but to sneak a look at those who left, and where their balls used to be. The last one was a very handsome looking bright blue pegasus with a darker blue mane. He wasn't the only one looking at those cadets to be. There were seven others who did exactly the same thing, and he knew, he would be inspected like that soon, too. The seven others were from all other pony races. Two earth ponies, three pegasi and two other unicorns. What surprised Shining the most, was that one of the pegasi was actually female. He knew that the royal guard had accepted females into their ranks, but he didn't think they would have to do something like this too. Probably something with equality..

"Mr. Shining Armor?" a voice called, shattering the awkward silence.

He hastily looked at the unicorn stallion with a labcoat at the open door. He knew, that he would be the focus of attention, now. Slowly he got up, and tried to look as masculine as he possibly could, but that wasn't something that others judged when geldings to be walked past them.

"Please come this way." the white coated unicorn beckoned and said while levitating a clipboard in front of him. As they walked through the white sterile hallways, he couldn't help but wonder, how many cadets the doctor had gelded already and how many had walked this path before him.

"Please, go into room five." the doctor said shattering the painful silence.

The room itself was very plain. A strange looking chair in the middle and some white cabinets around it and a movable chair.

"Please, sit down." he gestured towards the strange chair. It looked like it could be turned upwards to look more like a table and had some sort of holders for the legs, he supposed.

"Don't worry, you don't have to lie down, just yet. First, we'll talk." he turned around "Nurse Cross, are you ready?"

Shortly after the doctor faced Shining Armor again. A rather young pastel pink female unicorn came inside the room.

"Well, Mr. Shining Armor?" he asked.

His pulse… racing, all he could respond with was a simple nod.

"Son of Twilight Velvet and Nightlight?"

Again, he nodded.

"You know why we are here. You want to join the royal guard, and as you know, all recruits have to be gelded or spayed to ensure full dedication to the crown and their job. Nurse Cross over here will assist and act as our witness. You will also get another form, in which you declare that you are willing to have this procedure done and know the consequences. This is the last time you can back out."

Shining Armor took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself.

"I know the consequences, and I want to continue.", he said in a rather firm voice -at least that is what he hoped it sounded like.
The doctor just nodded while looking at him.

"Alright, please sign this form. It's just for the documents." he continued as he levitated a clipboard and a pen towards him.

Without much further thought, the form was signed and Shining Armor laid himself down on the chair, while the doctor started to levitate a wet cotton ball with some sort of liquid towards Shining’s family jewels. He felt the stallion rubbing the cold cotton ball on his scrotum, but after a couple seconds it faded away.

Meanwhile, the cute nurse had brought some sort of curtain over, which would block the sight of his surgery. It was made so that the curtain was rather low on his abdomen. His cock was visible to him, but not his balls. But despite the strangeness of the situation, Shining Armor noticed something embarrassing. His soldier started to stand at attention. And what was worse, the curtain was low enough so that it was on full display. His cheeks started to glow in a deep red again and he couldn't even hide it. This was definitely one of those things he would never, ever speak of again. A boner... At his own gelding.

"Caution now, this might sting a little" he heard the doctor say, followed by a slight pinch from a syringe. The pain had faded as fast as it happened.

"Alright, we'll have to wait a bit for this to take effect. Nurse, would you stay and take care of him until then?" he asked calmly while leaving the room.

Great, now she would stay in here with me and probably see me at my most embarrassing point so far... And what did he mean, by 'take care of me'. He thought to himself as he looked downwards to see his dick almost completely hard and throbbing, which was rather ironic, considering that it might be the last erection he’ll ever get.

"Excuse me..." a young female voice appeared. The nurse, slowly she walked towards Shining. He really couldn't decide whether or not he should jump off the chair to hide his boner, or maybe cross his legs. Trapped in a cycle of weighing the possibilities he did...nothing... And looked rather embarrassing.

"*coughs* Do you.... need any help?" she asked again in her rather cute voice.

"Wha... Uh..?"

"Well, with... That?", she said, lifting a hoof to point at his raging erection.

"Is that what the doctor meant by, ‘taking care’?” He asked raising his eyebrow in suspicion. "I don't think that is what a stadard procedure includes...?“

"Well, yes...and no. Normally I just assist, but if somepony seems to be too uncomfortable... Well... Let's say this doesn't happen too often, alright?" she winked at him.

"Oh, and don't be too ashamed about this... Most stallions get an erection here.", she smiles. "Most of them just deny it vehemently afterwards. I don’t make this offer to most stallions.", she made the suggestive motion of a hoofjob with a small but much saying smile.

"If...if that is okay...?" Shining stammered trying to suppress a smile. What a lucky stallion I am... he thought.
Without any more words, the nurse gently ran her soft hoof over his hot and hard member.

Shining laid back and thought to himself, "This is the strangest day. No doubt about it. But I’m really enjoying it so far..." For Shining, this was the strangest day he ever had, no doubt about it, but he definitely enjoyed her touch, resulting in a rock hard cock.

The nurse acted more aggressive and gave his cock an experimental lick. She watched Shining jump in shock and his face show unadulterated surprise. He didn’t expect her to use anything besides her hoof. She flashes Shining a reassuring smile after seeing his reaction. She makes cute little squeaks and moans while she gives his cock long licks, up and down his shaft. While with her other hoof she gently rubbed along his shaft.

The nurse pulled back but continued to stroke his shaft. She tilted her head to get a look at it from a different angle. Then she buried her head in shining’s crotch. She used her long warm tongue to snake around his balls and guide them to her mouth. Shining armor’s eyes grow wide as she sees the nurse engulf his balls. He’s surprised that how numb his balls are. Her tongue swirls around each testicle. She gives his scrotum an experimental nip to see if he reacts. Shining doesn’t so much as flinch as his scrotum is chewed on. His breathing speeds up with his pulse. His cock drips a bit of pre-cum, down his shaft and onto the nurses’ snout. The nurse takes this as a sign to speed things along. She releases his balls only to lick up his proud stallion penis, licking up his precum. Shining shivers as he feels the nurse give him give gentle but deliberate strokes up and down his cock. He gives her a nervous smile as she gives Shining a cute smile and then flicks her tongue over the tip of his penis.

What the nurse knew, and Shining was to find out, was that his nurse was experienced. She knew all the most sensitive parts to a stallions cock. Like an ice cream cone on a hot day, she gave his penis tip long smooth licks. Her tongue licked around the sensitive edges of his throbbing penis.

Shining had experience with fillies in high school, but none of them compared to his nurse. His legs seize and his face contorts as he tries to hold back his orgasm. The nurse feels his cock grow thicker and pulsate. She crams shining’s cock down her throat, forcing him over the edge. His body convulses as he feels the most powerful orgasm he’s ever experienced. The nurse gladly gulps down his potential foals. She takes out a white handkerchief to wipe any of Shining’s stallion seed that she might have missed. She gives his scrotum one last good-by kiss before the door opens and the doctor returns with a cart full of wicked looking tools.
The doctor takes one last look over his paper work as he lifts a single scalpel with his magic. Shining gulps one last time as he sees the scalpel that will make him a gelding.

"Last chance to back out?" the doc inquired, the scalpel slowly floating toward of Shining’s black nutsack.

Taking a deep breath he looked at the doctor and gave his final answer.
"Go on."

Without questioning, he pressed the knife into the delicate skin, cutting a small slit into at the middle, between his balls. Gently, he pushed Shining's first testicle through the slit. It was rather large in size, but that wouldn't matter anymore anyway.

The doctor levitated a piece of medical string to the testicle, looping it around the exposed spermatic cord, somewhat close to his body and finally pulling it tightly shut. The knot cut off blood flow, and he finished it with another very tight knot.

Slowly, he floated the scalpel again towards Shining’s exposed testicle, but instead cutting it off right away, the doctor put the scalpel down to squeeze out the other testicle. With the same skill he quickly ties it up just like its twin.

Admiring his own hoofwork, he took the scalpel again and gently took Shinings first testicle, which had already grown cold and a bit pale. Giving it one last squeeze, he began slicing through the cord, close to the knot he had tied. The testicle’s cord gave way to the scalpel without any sign of resistance until the first ball came lose in the docs hoof.

The doctor examined it and placed it in the bowl right next to him.

If anypony would ask the doctor what his feelings about doing such atrocities were he'd probably tell them that he likes doing it. He sees many stallions, and nowadays even mares who‘d willingly give up their foalmakers... But even he has to say, that sometimes, it really pains him to do this. But after all, he's just doing his job.

He took Shining’s last remaining testicle and placed the scalpel where he intended to cut it. He looked one last time at its rather young owner. He took a deep breath while it was still attached on its rather young owner. Then, without any hesitation, he sliced through the cord, severing the cool orb and gelding Shining Armor for good. Again, the doctor examined the testicle and placed it in the bowl. He removed all lose skin of Shining’s former scrotum. It looked he never had testicles to start off with. In no time at all, the doctor used his magic to stitch the Ex-stallion back up and soon Shining Armor was good to go.

"Alrighty then... We are done. Now, that wasn't too bad, was it?" The doc said smiling and patting Shining Armor on the back.
Nurse Cross took away the screen and to let the newly gelded Shining have his first look. It looked strange and a little beaten with those stitches.

"Careful when you get up. No sports for the next few days... Oh and the stitches should come out just fine. If you have any problems, just come back.” The doctor recited, like he had hundreds of time before.

The new gelding was quite wobbly on his legs, though that was because of the anesthetic.

"I'll say good bye now already, I have some other patients to attend to. Nurse Cross, would you do the rest?" the doctor asked as he wiped his tools and put them back on the cart.

The nurse just nodded as the doctor vanished out through the door.

"Well, how do you feel as a new gelding?" she asked, her voice mirroring her sincerity.

"Hmm how should I feel? No more sex for me, I guess..." he said, feeling where his stallionhood used to be.

"What? Just because you are gelded doesn't mean you can't have sex. Don't tell me you still belive that old marestale. They tell it to all cadets to scare away everypony who isn't completely dedicated to the royal guard." the nurse giggled.

"Well, no foalmakers, no more erection, right?" he raised an eyebrow.

"Theoretically, yes... But there are ways... Just like easy spells to... Help you out. That is one thing we as unicorns can do while... Well pegasi and earth ponies can't." she giggled. "Or they have to have somepony to help them out..."

She walked up to Shining Armor, her tail playfully brushing against his. Her scent making him feel aroused.

"See the bright side! Now you can have fun, without knocking any mare up." she said, giving her hips a little suggestive shake.
"Oh somepony speaks from experience I guess..." he replied in a cynical tone.

"Actually, I do. No foals for me...but that is a different story." she giggled playfully again "Oh, by the way... Do you want to see your... Ex-foalmakers?"
