The Breeding Grounds

“What’s wrong with you ‘Tia? You haven’t been yourself lately.” Luna looked at her sister with concern as the husk of the white alicorn hobbled past her.

“It’s nothing.” The princess of the sun grumbled under her breath.

“No, I’m serious. You’re different. Something is wrong with you.” The younger sister arched her neck to get a better look at the distorted features of her sister but the shadows seemed to intentionally mask her.

“Silence Luna.”

“That’s it? That’s all you have to say to me? Sister, please. Talk to me, tell me what’s wrong.” She slowly followed behind her sister as she made her way down the long, dark hallway. It wasn’t hard to keep up considering the staggering limp the alicorn had. “Are you hurt?” Luna tested.

“More than you’ll ever know.” Celestia growled through her teeth.

“I spent a thousand years on the moon alone. I think I know pain.” Irritation grew in the dark mare’s voice as her sister simply shrugged without looking back. “Perhaps the elements of harmony can help you too?”

“I don’t need help.” Her voice sounded hoarse and weak but it still held the power to rattle the crystal chandeliers above.

Luna cringed as a cold wind suddenly howled through the castle, rustling the delicate tapestries so that the decorative beads that hung below them popped and snapped against the gray stone walls. Chills coursed through her as the air emanated an icy touch and forced her hair on end. “This isn’t natural, sister.”

Every shadow seemed to flicker out of existence for a split second, but the room remained dark. The princess of the moon took an uncertain step back as the other alicorn turned to reveal a twisted grin. Murky black lines snaked and branched across her face in every direction as if her veins had been turned to oil. Her once beautiful sparkling mane now had streaks of red and black over the faint spectrum of colors. Even her eyes – bloodshot with coils of crimson spiraling through them – perverted the grace and elegance of the once beautiful princess. Thick black rings ran along the edges of her hollow white eyes, giving them a transparent scowl that burned with an unknown agony.

The horrific scene only lasted for a fraction of a second but it was enough to petrify the princess of the night down to the marrow in her bones. She stood speechless as the shadows returned to conceal the dreadful figure again. It was impossible not to shiver at the thought of the pupil-less eyes staring at her and studying her through the darkness.

“So now you know.” Celestia breathed dangerously.

“I – I don’t understand. What do I know? That you’re a monster?” Luna still wavered on the hairline edge between fight or flight as the dark figure took a menacingly slow step forward.

“Think back, sister.” The princess of the sun hissed. “We aren’t the only ones. Do you remember what we look after? What we protect in order to keep balance?”

“I still don’t understand sister. What’s happened to you?”

“The time will come when you realize. But until then…” the shadows flickered again and Luna saw the wicked grin of the creature as she started to move closer, step by step.

The princess of the night gasped and withdrew as her sister advanced before suddenly disappearing right in front of her eyes. The hair on the back of her neck stood on end and her spine trembled as if every part of her body wanted to escape. Her heartbeat grew more and more hysterical the longer she waited, hyper vigilant, as the dark corridor remained silent. A flash of white a few steps away suddenly caught her off guard and with a frantic shriek she rushed away as fast as she could without looking back. Her hooves scratched and slid against the cold marble floors of the royal palace, the screech of the tile piercing through her ears like a needle being pushed into her brain. Her sparkling blue mane whipped and snapped behind her as she turned back to see the creature gone again. Her heart throbbed and beat painfully against her chest. Whatever her sister had become was far worse than even Nightmare Moon.

“’Tia?” Luna stopped and called back through the corridor. Her words echoed around her over and over again but there was no reply. Not even a whisper or footstep. “’Tia?” she called again. “Are you there?” The wind picked up, howling past her and leaving an almost visible mark on her skin from its cold bite. She could see the familiar blinking stars in her mane as it flowed past her but still there was no other movement. Suddenly the hair on the back of her neck snapped to attention and she could feel the air grow heavy with a presence behind her. Her bones ached and her muscles twitched violently to run, to get away, but at the same time her mind told her to be still, to leave her body and remain hidden. She just needed to wait, a little longer. One second longer.

An unusually cold whisper rolled across the back of her neck, causing the hot blood that ran through her veins to recoil. Then it grew warm. A warmth that wasn’t in the least bit inviting. A heat that would rather consume than comfort. A starving heat. “’T-T-T-Tia?” the sound of her teeth chattering drowned out the wind for a moment. Or maybe the wind had stopped. She turned her head slowly, regretting every movement that she made. The silence weighed down on her like a pile of rocks. Her breathing felt slow and labored, forced. She could feel the tense muscles in her neck creak as she turned. Her vision scanned over the stained white bricks that made up the walls of the royal palace. Years of dirt and grime had accumulated on their once magnificent brilliance, causing the dark stones to shape the shadows in eerie patterns across the walls. Her ears flattened against her head.

There was nothing there.

Luna began to let out a sigh of relief but it caught in her throat halfway out. If it wasn’t behind her then it had to be –

She snapped her head forward again. The image of the horrific monster her sister had become burned in her mind. Those hollow eyes piercing through her like a sword. The muscles in her legs tensed, ready to strike out, but there was still nothing there. She was completely alone. The trembling alicorn stood between the shadows of two pillars that made up the windows leading outside, the light of the moon casting a thin halo around her. She looked out through the arching terrace at the round silver orb that hung in the sky unobscured. Only a single black cloud glided lazily past it.

“Beautiful isn’t it?” the voice came from behind. Every hair on her body rose but it was too late for her to react. The shadows took her with a stifled scream still hanging in the air.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

A thick haze clouded her vision as she came to, struggling to her hooves with a deep groan.

“Welcome back, sister.” A patronizing voice came from the doorway.

“Where am I?” Luna looked around at the absence of anything in the room. “Why is everything white? What is this place?”

“So many questions.” The voice came from the doorway again, almost a growl this time. Luna looked up to see the twisted figure of her sister glaring at her confidently from behind the shadows.

“Who’s your friend?” Luna pointed at the metallic unicorn standing next to her sister. She didn’t seem to have the same shadow altering effect as the alicorn.

“All your questions will be answered in due time.” The shadows shifted as the princess of the sun turned to leave.

“Why didn’t you just kill me?!” Luna shouted after the dark creature. Despite not being able to see the face, or even the body, of her sister, she somehow knew that a smile spanned her warped features.

“I can’t kill you just yet.” The creature sneered. “I need something from you first – a piece of you.”

“Well why don’t you kill me and take it then?” the princess spat defiantly. She would rather die than give this creature any part of her.

“Oh no, you must be alive for this. Very much alive. You need to experience every moment, feel every second.”

‘Torture.’ Luna’s mind jumped to the conclusion. ‘Why? Does she want information? What do I know that she doesn’t?’

“It’s not torture.” The creature seemed to read her thoughts. “Well maybe not, we’ll see.” A row of white teeth shown through the darkness for a moment before the dark alicorn left. The armored mare stayed in the room, her raspy breathing becoming audible for the first time behind the mask as if she had just come to life. Without hesitation, the metal unicorn moved to the only colored thing in the room that seemed to have life: The gray console in the corner. Luna sat silently watching as a series of beeps and clicks befell the room. The unicorn stopped her manipulating of the console for a brief moment to look back at the alicorn. Then she clicked the console one last time and left the room.

The princess sat bewildered, unsure if anything was supposed to happen. Suddenly the sound of machinery outside rang with the metallic clink of gears grinding and scraping. Luna looked around unimpressed at the shifting motions of the room breaking apart. “Hmm.” She cooed suddenly with a sly grin. Her horn shimmered a dark blue and instantly the entire room and the surrounding machinery was bathed in the same dark blue. The sound of grinding machinery grew louder and louder, mindlessly struggling to overcome the magic that was holding it back. Luna couldn’t help but smirk, she knew that somewhere out there her sister was grinding her teeth in contempt. She was the Princess of the Night. She was the alicorn responsible for lifting the moon into the sky every night. There was no way some trivial little room was going to hold her. ‘Why did her sister think it would?’ Her expression suddenly grew firm. “You underestimate me.” She growled. The machinery began to creak and bend under an impossible weight as the alicorn tightened her magic. The walls bowed and folded towards her, crumpling like cardboard until they finally tore loose from the metal arms that held them to the rest of the chamber with an ear-shattering shriek that raced through the facility. Exposed wires dangled and sparked with electricity as the metal crinkled around the princess like a paper ball. Luna kept her fearsome gaze straight ahead as she focused on dismantling the entire building piece by piece. The remnants of the room circled around her like a dense shield, gathering more and more fragments of the structure every second. The building shook and reverberated with the power that was overtaking it. Below her gaze, Luna could make out fissures of dark blue magic snaking out from her hooves and rending the floor in all directions. She never knew she was so powerful.

The shards of metal that had made up the walls continued to float around her like a barrier, small cracks and holes between the plates giving her a glimpse of the destruction that she was unleashing outside. Muddled chunks of debris fell from the ceiling and shattered around her, rattling the earth, and yet a single mechanical arm managed to navigate its way close to the princess. Luna stared quizzically through the hole in the spinning rubble as it drew closer, bouncing and quaking against the wreckage that was falling on it, a single white pod clutched in its metallic claws. She watched curiously as it was placed before her and the seal around the edges broken, sending a cloud of mist roiling into the turbulent air. The princess squinted, just barely able to make out the dark figure that lay motionless inside. ‘There’s a pony in there!’ she suddenly realized gasping and releasing her magic.

The metal plates fell with a ground-shattering dong, their reverberations shaking the entire building again. Rubble continued to periodically fall from the ceiling as Luna cautiously moved towards the pod. Her hoofsteps sent dark blue cracks across the ground with every step, the excess magic physically dripping off of her and disintegrating the earth in small craters. She watched as the pony struggled his way out of the pod, panting and gasping for air.

“What are you doing here?” Luna stood resolute with a stalwart expression on her face.

The stallion looked around him uneasily before staring up at the alicorn.

“Well? Are you mute?” The princess growled, slightly annoyed at the lack of response. She ruffled her wings as she glared down at the stallion, still awaiting a reply. “ANSWER ME!” she bellowed suddenly, startling the stallion enough to send him reeling onto his back. Disgust flooded through the princess as she noticed the unruly sight between the stallion’s legs – his repulsive throbbing member. “What is the meaning of this?!” the air around the alicorn became filled with her magic and the ground shook with a heavy defiant hoof. The fissures beneath her grew into deep crevices that tore through the earth like rampant tree roots. “Do I turn you on? Do you wish to defile me and have your way with me? You pitiful little stallion. You are not even worthy to gaze upon my glorious presence.” Luna hissed. “And yet you lie there, aroused, ready to plant your seed. You are brave, if nothing else.” She looked the stallion up and down. “Brave indeed.”

It was obvious the stallion had no idea what to do. His blank expression skipped about the devastation that had unfolded before looking back up at the princess cautiously. The glowing chasms beneath him began to spread as the alicorn’s fury escalated, ripping apart the earth until he found himself beginning to sink down. Even with the threat of the chaotic magic pulsing below him, he dared not move. The princess’s petrifying gaze pinned him down, searing through his very soul, until he would rather plummet to his death than risk the absolute obliteration that would ensue from her wrath.

The ground heaved and quaked one last time before hurtling the stallion down below. He tried to scream out but his voice caught in his throat. Warm air rushed past his head, whistling through his ears and whipping up his mane. Dark blue filled his vision from the unsettling aura of magic below him before it blinded him completely. Even the unique smell of magic, the smell that only unicorns that worked very closely with magic knew, flooded his senses until he was sure it was the end. But the whistling in his ears had stopped. He no longer saw the tendrils of brown hair snapping in front of his face from his mane. Something had stopped him.

The glowing around him began to fade, growing dimmer and dimmer as he felt himself being lifted uncomfortably into the air. His body felt limp beneath him like some sort of ragdoll as his vision slowly returned. There was still the familiar glow of dark blue around him as he moved upward. He struggled to look up, his neck straining to look over his chest. A look of utter confusion and horror flashed through his blue eyes as he came to float at the hooves of the regal alicorn. It wasn’t the random act of being saved that confused him. It wasn’t even the fact that the princess of the night still glared at him with the same contempt that she had before. Most likely it was because he was being levitating before the fearsome eyes of the dark alicorn, suspended by his own dick.

Luna looked the stallion up and down as she held him there for a few awkward moments. The only part of him that moved was his head, still struggling to peek over his chest at the impressive pole that was being held straight up and down by the outline of sparkling blue magic. Luna watched curiously as his legs began to flail back and forth in a vain attempt to see what was holding him. With a firm tug, the princess branched out her magic just enough to overtake the small orbs that dangled beneath his shaft, compressing them against his body. A startled yelp escaped the stallion, prompting a harder jab at the delicate area with her magic. The alicorn wore a wry smile as she dominated him, relishing in the control. Every movement he made, every sound he struggled to withhold, just gave her an excuse to punish him.

The area around the stallion’s legs began to grow red and tender, she could feel the blood steadily pulsing and rising to the surface of his skin after every disobedient act. Then something caught the princess off guard. She could feel something pressing against her magic. It was so strong that it broke her concentration for a moment, dropping the stallion before grabbing him in midair by his cock again. This erupted another pained yelp and yet another punishment. Luna grinned as she thought of a new way to make him squirm. This time she pulled back with her magic, stretching the flap of skin to its limit.

There was no yelp this time, only a deep, throaty groan that echoed through the desolated chamber. Something pressed against her magic again, pulsing against it with an unhindered strength. The princess’s expression became stubborn, constricting down on whatever was daring to resist her control. The stallion’s eyes rolled back into his head as another groan escaped his lungs. Luna grew more and more determined as her magic continued to be fought against. The more she tried to confine the throbbing member the larger it grew.

“Are you enjoying this?” the pleased expression on the alicorn’s face faded as she watched the stallion writhe in silent ecstasy. She sent a wave of magic up and down his cock to test the claim, gripping it tightly in her grasp as she did. His suspended body shuddered with the sudden pleasure that radiated through him, a guttural moan shaking the silence there had been.

Luna frowned, considering what to do to put the stallion in his place. Gripping his member tighter, she squeezed with all of her might, only managing to make his leg twitch and jerk. The harder she squeezed the more he kicked until he was thrashing back and forth while stifling his compulsive moans. Suddenly an idea crossed her mind.

With a sly grin creeping across her face, the alicorn brought the stallion in close with her iridescent magic, levitating him only a few inches away. “So you like this, do you?” the princess smiled wickedly.

The stallion looked at her with an unsure expression plastered across his face.

“Well let’s see how you like this.” she breathed, the warm air from her mouth rolling over his pulsating pole. She continued to breathe heavily on his member until his moans of pleasure turned into moans of agitation. Luna smiled as he stirred uncomfortably in the magic that was holding him up. But then suddenly he stopped. She could feel him going soft in her grip. “Oh no you don’t.” the alicorn tightened her grip on his cock again but this time there was no resistance. No matter how much she moved and stroked the fleshy rod it would not come back to life. To the stallion’s surprise, the princess quickly darted out with a course tongue and gave his sagging member a quick lick. He was hard in an instant but she could still feel him beginning to wane in her grasp. Without a second thought she thrust her neck out again to give him a quick lick.

And again. And again.

Even with all the effort she was putting in to tease him he still began to go limp. The stallion stared uneasily as the alicorn shot him an annoyed glance before suddenly taking the head of his member in her mouth. His unbridled moan startled the princess, but not enough to make her flinch. Instead, she took a deep breath and let her mouth slowly sink more onto his cock. Then she took another deep breath and sunk down even more.

And more. And more.

Soon she reached the point where she couldn’t breathe anymore but still she took him deeper. His pole throbbed against the back of her throat until it threatened to explode. Just when she was sure he was about to finish she pulled away. The stallion groaned in disapproval, his muscles clenching in a desperate attempt to finish himself off, but the princess still held him firmly in her magic. Her smile returned as she watched the tortured figure struggle again.

“That’s better.” She chortled.

The stallion was not amused by her antics and eventually gave up the battle for his ecstasy again. Luna, still grinning, took his cock to the back of her throat again to rile him up. This time, however, he did not move or moan. Even though she could feel the entire rigid length of him inside of her, he still showed no signs of being pleasured.

The princess pulled away with a begrudging “Hmph”, a thick strand of saliva still connecting her to his member, before yet another idea crossed her mind. It certainly didn’t have to be all about him.

Sitting back on her haunches, she brought the stallion down to hover a few inches above the ground so he could he watch. Luna smirked as she brought a hoof to rest against the dampness between her thighs. The delicate flesh was hot to the touch. She forced the most erotic moan she could muster, stirring a rise out of the stallion who stared on wide-eyed. The slippery sensation against her hoof began to spread all around the inside of her legs. She could feel the warm fluid beginning to run down the crack of her ass until it collected in a pool underneath her. Suddenly a shivering breath escaped the princess’s lips despite her best attempts of holding it back. Beads of sweat formed all along her body while the heat inside of her grew. Her breathing became heavy as she spread the folds of her flower apart, exposing it to the open air. A surprised gasp filled the air as a cool breeze suddenly rushed between her legs, chilling the glistening mound that had just been opened to the world. Despite the cold, the warmth between her thighs continued to grow, arousing another trembling breath from the alicorn.

Targeting the elusive bead hidden among her lips, she began to roll her hoof in little circles until the feeling had spread across her entire body. She closed her eyes as her hips began to systematically sway to the rhythm of her hoof. A heavy moan grew from her labored breathing before she ground her hips harder into her hoof, forcing the pleasure through her. The heat burned her insides, rising to the surface of her skin so that the delicate kiss of the cold breeze sent shivers down her spine. Finally she could sense the end was near. She could feel the release ready to burst forth and envelope her in its promises of physical enlightenment. It was so close.

“Ererrm.”

The unexpected noise broke the princess out of her trance, shattering the buildup of ecstasy she had worked so hard for. The stallion still hovered in front of her, his cock rock hard again. The display the alicorn had put on had more than aroused him to the point of him being ready to explode at the slightest touch. Even the gentlest whisper of air could have fulfilled his desire. Unfortunately his ecstasy instantly withered with the cold glare of the princess. The agonizing fury mirrored through her eyes but it couldn’t overcome the need for release that still teased her body. She needed something inside of her. She needed to be filled. She needed completion.

“Come here.” She ordered levitating the stallion over so that he didn’t have a choice in the matter. The wilted fleshy rod still hung limply in the air as the princess set him down in front of her and moved over him. She stood over him, the juices from her lonely orifice running down her back legs, her lust filled eyes staring through him, until she couldn’t take it anymore. Ever so gently she began to sit back, carefully guiding her hips towards the object of her desires. The stallion’s cock snapped to attention immediately, smacking the drenched slit with the undeniable sound of flesh on flesh contact. A fresh torrent of liquid flooded down his cock as the connection was made. The alicorn moved her hips back up to position the entrance of her mound to the tip of his spear.

Steadying herself, she slowly began to press down on his member. She could feel the pressure as it prodded against her tight hole, threatening to break through her at any moment. The stallion let out a raspy groan as his cock slowly bent under the weight of the princess. For some reason it wasn’t slipping in. Luna pressed down harder, swiveling her hips as an overflow of slick lubricant continued to pour out of her until suddenly it gave way. His thick cock pierced through her, spreading her inner folds apart and impaling her down to the innermost depths of her body.

The two bodies were locked together in a silent scream, motionless, as they adjusted to the new intrusion and environment that had been introduced. A shiver ran through the princess, her eyes closed and her mouth agape, until the throbbing in her womb subsided and the only throbbing came from the other body inside of her. She looked down with a lustful expression at the stallion who had just taken her and for the first time was unsure of what to do. She felt out of place on top of him. The feeling of being filled excited her beyond all measure but she couldn’t help but wonder how she had gotten on top of him. Staring deep into his blue eyes, she began to sit up, sliding the cock that had been implanted in her before sitting back again. Her sparkling mane hung down from one side of her head as she gave the stallion an unsure smile before continuing on. Soon she had developed a rhythm that she followed to mash their bodied together, the slimy squelch of her ass bouncing up and down stirred the tiny orbs beneath her until she reveled in the flapping against her backside. She took his member almost completely out so that her tight flesh stretched across only the head before burying the entire length of him in her again. The burning desire that flowed through her and made her legs weak eventually turned into a burning soreness that slowed her movements.

The stallion looked up at with unbridled lust still filling his gaze. Beads of sweat rolled down his forehead and collected in his brown mane as he finally took control and flipped the princess down on the ground. Luna closed her eyes as she lay on her back, her legs splayed up in the air while the stallion ravaged her. And she loved every moment.

Her consciousness drifted in and out of the ecstasy through every position the stallion forced her in. She went from being on her back to lying on her side with her legs closed but still allowing him access to her most private area. The steady thrusts never ceased as he rolled her over again onto her stomach, pounding her from behind and taking her deeper than she ever imagined. Her body slid against the cold floor and her mane jolted back and forth in front of her with each relentless assault until the breathing behind her grew heavier. She could feel her own nirvana approaching with his desperate drives towards completion. Her eyes grew wide as he pulled her body closer while at the same time thrusting with all of his might inwards. An exasperated scream pierced the chamber as the sensation sent her over the edge. Luna collapsed onto the ground, rolling over onto her side as the convulsions took her. An instant later she felt her insides being filled completely. The stallion slowly drew out of her with a deafening groan that echoed his pleasure. She could feel the hot spunk from his still throbbing member land on her flank, the heat nearly scalding the skin around her cutie mark. But her cutie mark had changed since they started – there were now the unmistakable two halves of the sun and the moon together on her flank instead of just the moon.

The stallion collapsed from exhaustion next to the mare with another satisfied groan as his body roughly hit the ground with a profound thud. Luna was still trembling in the aftermath of her orgasm when she felt the prick of the needle against her numb skin.

*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*

“So it is complete.” Celestia gazed down at the motionless alicorn from the top of the chamber. A giant black tinted window looked out over the spire of white pods, hiding the room from those on the other side.

“What is the next step, Your Highness?” the armored unicorn came to stand next to the dark alicorn while she looked out.

“We have everything we need to commence the growing process. See to it that this place never existed.”

“What of your sister?”

“Take what you need from her and then leave her outside. She has to live but not necessarily in a pleasant state. I’ll do the rest.” The alicorn’s cold words shook the air with an unknown disposition but the curator had no choice but to nod silently.

“Yes princess.” She turned to perform her given task.

“Please,” Celestia didn’t turn from her gaze down at the unconscious alicorn below but her dark words still managed to stop the armored mare dead in her tracks. The gravity of what was coming hung in the air like a pile of bricks.

“Call me Queen.”
