The Breaking Point

Celestia landed with a soft thump onto her private balcony, her messenger bag jingling slightly at the impact. She pulled open the worn cover and peered inside. Three gems reflected the moonlight back at her. She sighed, relieved she didn’t drop them on her flight back.

For the past few weeks, she and her sister had scoured the chaotic lands of Equestria for these legendary Elements. Each of the six Elements held the magic of a certain characteristic, and they were drawn to the goodness in the two sisters’ hearts. Three of the Elements called to each sister and soon the search was on. They did so, however, in secret.

Discord ruled Equestria with a sadistic mind, torturing its citizens with acts of insanity simply for fun. The sisters decided that the people deserved to live normal lives and vowed to help them. They planned to befriend him in hopes of changing his heart. While he had welcomed them with open arms, Discord’s heart was not easily swayed.

He allowed them to stay with him in his castle in the Everfree forest. He treated them as if they were the best of friends, laughing and talking whenever they got together, but when talks about the people came up, he would become furious and send them away. After years of unsuccessful persuasion, the sisters had decided that the only way to change his mind was through force.

They researched thousands of ancient texts in search of a spell that could rid someone of dark magic, and their search led them to seek out the Elements of Harmony. Rumored to have rid the world of chaos before, they agreed to find them and give Discord a choice: change his ways willingly or have his magic stripped.

Celestia closed the balcony door gently behind her as she entered her bedchambers. The room was rather large, lit up by intervals of candles along the walls. A comfortable bed sat against on wall, and a spacious desk sat across from it. A few paintings hung high on the walls, each one depicting the once beautiful landscape of Equestria.

Celestia walked over to the desk. She removed the strap of the bag from her shoulder and sat it on her desk. A small cloud of dirt rose from the impact. Celestia coughed and waved the cloud away. She looked down at her filthy clothes.

The search for her elements had taken her into some nasty caves and swamps. Her once white shirt and pants were now tanned by various types of mud and leaves. Her boots were far worse. She gulped as she grabbed a length of her hair. Sure enough, the teal, green, and pink strands were frayed and dirty.

She huffed in annoyance. “Guess it’s time for a bath.” She turned her head to the closet across the room. Her magenta eyes glowed a faint gold as she summoned her magic. The doors to her closet opened and her favorite silk robe floated towards her. Snatching it from the air, her eyes returned to their normal hue as she walked into the washroom.

She was met with humid air as she opened the washroom door. A small pool of water covered middle of the room. Along the wall was a lengthy wooden bench with towels waiting to be used. On the opposite side of the room, a golden nozzle stuck out from the wall with water sprinkling down.

Her boots clicked as she walked across the marble floors and up to the pool. Slipping out of her boots, she dipped a toe cautiously in the water. Her body relaxed when she felt the warm water. She picked up her filthy boots and carried them over the bench.  She laid her robe on the towels and stripped from her clothes. Her shirt was stiff as she shrugged it off and her pants crinkled as they fell. She slid her panties off before piling them up for the maid. She glanced down at her bare body.

Dirt caked her body in various places. Small cuts and bruises dotted her hands and knees. She looked like she was a child coming in from playing in the mud. She could hear her mother reprimanding her for her “unlady-like behavior.” She shook her head and walked over to the shower.

The water ran over her body, gently removing all traces of her adventures. She sighed in contentment and ran her hands through her hair. Dirt and leaves fell from her tresses and followed the water down the drain. She ran a hand down her body, sure to remove any remaining lumps of dirt. Her porcelain skin soon sparkled in the water.

She stepped back from the shower and readied for the tub. She pulled her hair to one side and twisted it, wringing out the last drops of water. She then fashioned the strands into a loose bun, summoning a clip to keep them in place. Positioning herself on the edge of the tub, she let herself slide into the warmth.

The water rippled as she settled in. She felt the weight of the day slip off her shoulders as warmth enveloped her. Feeling stiff, she gently massaged her shoulders and legs. She was not built for exploration and her sore muscles agreed. She purred softly as she stretched her back, pops crawling up her spine. She finally rested her head against the edge, ready for a few moments of peace and quiet.

After a while, Celestia felt a small surge of magic from her room and heard a hollow thump. She reluctantly sat up. Luna had probably sent her a report about her search. ‘Hopefully she has found her elements and we can give the people back their lives.’ She rose from the tub, letting water pool at her feet. She quickly dried herself with a towel and donned her robe. She shivered as the cooler air of her bedroom hit her face.

Sure enough, a small scroll was leaning against her bag. She grabbed it, rolling it in her hand. Her sister’s emblem held it closed. Taking a hopeful breathe, she unraveled the letter.

A puff of green smoke blew into her face. Gasping in surprise, Celestia coughed as she inhaled some of the powder. She fanned the cloud with the letter. When the cloud cleared, she looked at the letter cautiously. It was blank.

She jumped as a deep chuckle resonated around the room. She turned to find Discord standing in her doorway. Despite his smile, he looked anything but happy. “What’s the matter, Celestia? Normally you could have seen through that ruse.”

Celestia turned the letter over to reexamine the emblem. The ‘L’ was reversed, a sign the letter was fake. She mentally slapped herself for being careless. She took a few breathes to calm herself and forced a smile. “Guess you got me this time.” She felt a chill when Discord narrowed his eyes at her.

“You seem disappointed.” He stepped inside and slowly closed the door behind him. “Were you perhaps expecting a real letter?” The sound of the lock turning echoed in Celestia’s ear.

She gulped as he approached her. “N-not at all, just a little tired. I forgot to check if was a prank or not.” She turned set the letter down on the desk, nervously eyeing her bag. ‘If he found out…’ She turned back to him and yawned. “Is there something you need? I was hoping to head to bed so if it can wait…” She lost her voice as he reached her.

Discord stood calmly in front of her, running his finger across her bag. “I haven’t seen much of you lately.” He eyed the dirt on his finger before rubbing it off on the desk. “I hope everything is alright.”

The strength of his heterochromatic glare nearly suffocated her. To hide it, she turned on her heel and walked over to the balcony door. “Of course it is. I’ve been exploring the newer settlements. That’s all.” She took the chance to catch her breath.

Discord chuckled. “Do you want to know why I took you and your sister in?” He saw her tense slightly at his question. He stalked over to her ever so slowly as he spoke. “It was that spirit of defiance in you. You two seemed to be the only two people in my entire kingdom who weren’t intimidated by my power. You stood up for the people who couldn’t do it themselves. I found it hilarious, so I decided to keep you around, hoping that you would become blindly loyal because of this so-called ‘friendship’.” She turned as he stepped up to her. He felt her will shrinking in his shadow. “Lately, however, it seems that your lack of fear is making you harder to control. You sneak off to find the only thing that could stop me because you can’t do it yourself. Well…”  He leaned in closer to her, “Perhaps a proper lesson in fear is necessary, hmm?”

Celestia’s eyes widened at his words. She bolted back towards her bag, hoping only half of the elements could at least weaken him. She was jerked back against the balcony door, rattling it. Discord held one of her arms firm against the door. She focused hard on the elements, trying to draw them to her with magic. However, she felt no spark in her. ‘What—’

Discord hummed in false confusion. “What’s wrong? Can’t seem to use your magic?”

Celestia eyed the bag desperately. ‘But how…wait…’ Her glance shot to the letter, remembering the green smoke. ‘He…h-he couldn’t have…’ She returned her attention to him as he laughed.

“Don’t worry. Your magic will return later, but by then you won’t dare use it.” Discord tugged the knot on her robe undone.

Celestia used her free hand to hold her robe closed. She summoned up as much courage as she could muster to send him a glare. “Discord, don’t do this. If you let me go, I promise not to use the elements. Luna and I will leave your kingdom and never return. You have my word, so stop this foolishness.”

Discord raised an eyebrow at her. He slid his hand under the lower end of her robe and traced up her outer thigh. “And risk my subjects following you? You must think me a fool, Tia.” His hand cupped the underside of her butt.

Celestia released her robe and instead pushed against his arm, halting his march. “Do not call me that!”

Discord smirked as her robe opened, revealing the sides of her breasts. He leaned down and kissed her collarbone. “Let’s see how long you can keep that up.” Using his grip on her underside, he hoisted her up until her chest was near level with his face and pushed himself between her legs to hold her there.

Celestia gasped at his display of strength. Discord was by no means scrawny, but he had very few muscles. Many had fallen to him simply due to underestimation on their part. She knew better. She struggled to keep his hand from venturing further up her butt, but the assault on her chest had her attention divided. She tried using the door as leverage to topple them over, but Discord simply grunted in frustration and pushed a little harder.

His tongue traced circles on her mounds, occasionally pulling back so he could bite her. When he reached the hem of the robe still covering her, he used his nose to push it away, fully exposing her. He heard her whimper as he took her nipple in his teeth. He twisted and sucked on it while she tried to wiggle free. He brought his hand off her butt to cup her other breast. Her hand pulled relentlessly against his to stop it. He continued to play with her until he felt a warm spot grow on his stomach.

He stopped and set her feet on the ground. He took a step back, a smirk threatening to show. He uttered a tsk. “My, my, what have we here?” He stretched the bottom of his shirt out for Celestia to see. A wet stain glimmered in the candlelight. “It seems someone is enjoying themselves.”

Celestia clenched her robe tightly closed. Strands of hair hung loose from her bun. Tears glistened in her eyes, but she held them back. “Discord…”

Discord ignored her as he pulled his shirt over her head. He brought the stain up to his nose, sniffing it almost tentatively. He raised an eyebrow at Celestia. “How am I to explain this to the maid?”

Celestia narrowed her eyes at him. “She already knows the truth. You’re just a monster that feels the need to torture others into obeying you.”

Discord’s gaze hardened at her words. He dropped his shirt and got in her face. “On the bed.” He saw her body shake, but she made no move forward. He growled impatiently and grabbed her upper arm. “NOW!”

Celestia yelped as she was pulled towards the bed. She pulled back as hard as she could, but his grip tightened. She grunted as she was thrown face forward on her bed. The mattress groaned as Discord crawled on after her. She pushed herself up, only to have an arm pulled out from under her and pinned to the bed.

Discord placed one of his legs between hers and kept the other on the back of her knee. She struggled under him, but went still as he hooked a finger under the collar of her robe. He pulled it down to expose her shoulders and upper back. This revealed part of the Celtic-like sun mark adorning her back. He traced a finger along a ray that lead to her shoulder. “Just think, even with the power of the sun—” He dragged his nails down, leaving red trails across her back. Celestia hissed as he did. He leaned down and whispered in her ear. “—you still can’t stop me.”

Celestia shot him a look over her shoulder. She was going for a stern one, but by the devious smile on his face she could tell her fear was surfacing. She stiffened when she felt his hand slip under her hip. She tried pulling away from his hand, but his body against hers prevented movement. An involuntary moan escaped her as his hand began rubbing against her slit.

Discord enjoyed her squirming against him. He could hear her fighting back moans, so he pressed his hand harder against her. Eventually, her moans became less audible. He saw her other hand pulling in the sheets and her face buried against it. He curiously flipped her over. Her cheeks were flushed bright red and her eyes were beginning to haze over. Her chest rose and fell quickly with her erratic breaths.

Discord noticed that the sheets where her head had been were wet with traces of teeth marks in them. He smiled down at her and wiped away the single tear trail on her cheek. “Why would you try to hide such a beautiful sound? Now I’ll have to try something new to hear them again.” He pressed his palm against her again, but as it ran up, he pressed two fingers past her lips.

Celestia jumped at the sudden intrusion, gasping loudly. Her hand pushed against his arm and she tried to close her legs. Before she could, however, Discord leaned forward, using his body to keep her open. He placed his forearm beside her head to support himself. His nose rubbed against her cheek as she turned her face away from him.

Discord took the chance to bite down on her ear, causing her to flinch. He then nipped at her jawbone and neck, bruising her every few bites. All the while, he pumped his fingers in and out of her. Despite her efforts, her moans were getting louder and more frequent, but it wasn’t enough for Discord. He started using his thumb on her clit. She shuddered at the feeling. He felt her nails dig into his arm and her breathing quickened.

It didn’t take long before a small, breathy scream escaped Celestia’s lips. Her legs squeezed against Discord’s hips as she rode out her orgasm. She watched him sit up and bring his hand to his face. He smirked at the slick juices coating it. Keeping eye contact with her, he licked his hand clean. She covered her eyes with the back of her hand, hiding a few tears.

Suddenly, Discord’s slammed his lips against hers. A surprised sound resonated in the back of her throat. She pushed her hands against his chest to no avail. His hands cupped her face, keeping her still. His tongue slid across her bottom lip. Celestia clenched her jaw shut. If he was giving her the option, she was not giving in. She heard him growl before she felt a stinging pain on her lip.

Discord bit down on her lower lip, eliciting a yelp from her. His elongated canine cut into her lip and drew blood. After a moment, he felt her jaw slacken and he slipped his tongue in her mouth. His tongue ran along the top of her mouth before playing with hers.

Celestia tensed as the salty taste hit her tongue. Every time his tongue met hers, the taste seemed to get stronger. She groaned in discomfort. Discord broke the kiss with a wet smack and pushed up to tower over her. She brought a hand up to cover her mouth, unable to bear another round of that taste.

Discord chuckled at her ridiculous gesture. As much as he would love to prove the move futile, he had other plans. “Don’t worry, dear. We have other things to take care of.” To emphasize his point, he ground his hips into her.

Celestia’s eyes widened as the hardened bulge in his pants pressed against her. ‘H-he wouldn’t…’ When he sat up and began undoing the buckles on his pants, she panicked. She swung her leg up and knocked him back, taking him by surprise. She shot off the bed, pulling her robe tight around her. She reached the door and her shaking hands fumbled with the lock. Magic surrounded her and she was lifted into the air and flung back to the bed.

As soon as she landed, Discord was back on top of her. She flailed her arms about in hopes of landing a hit before they were pinned to the bed. She felt tears fall under his furious glare. “P-please, Discord. I promise I’ll obey your every word. I’ll hand over the elements a-and I’ll serve you until the end of time. I’ll make sure Luna and I don’t ever question your rule again just please…PLEASE…don’t—”

His laughter interrupted her pleas. “Now you’re starting to get it.” Her distraught face made his member throb impatiently. Celestia drew up her knees defensively. He smirked and, gathering both her hands in one of his, pulled her arms above her head. “Come on, Tia, do you still want to do this the hard way?” She narrowed her tear-filled eyes at him, but said nothing. He placed a hand on the back of her thigh. He was enjoying tearing down this bravado of hers.

Celestia drew a sharp breath as he pinched her thigh. She was going to fight him in any way possible. She grunted as he twisted harder. Discord’s eyes glowed as he sent a spell into her thigh. She hissed as her thigh began burning. It felt like he had her blood on fire. She gritted her teeth in pain.

Discord watched her patiently for a while. He knew just how painful this spell was. She may want to fight it, but she could only take so much. It was only a matter of time before—a sob interrupted his thoughts. A look of defeat had replaced her defiant one and she opened her legs. His eyes lost their glow as he dissipated the spell. “Good girl.” He gave her neck a quick kiss and released her arms. He spread her thighs and placed his tip at her entrance.

Celestia shut her eyes and covered her mouth as he entered her, a useless attempt at muffling her cry. More tears pooled in the corner of her eyes. He was stretching her to the point where she thought he would break her. He stopped halfway in and she peeked open an eye.

“Who would have thought?” Discord laughed darkly. “All these years you could have used your position to have anyone you wanted, and you chose celibacy. How noble.” He pressed a little further in to see her wince. “You should feel honored to have your first time with a king.”

Celestia wiped her eyes. She knew what was coming and decided she had nothing left to lose. She wanted him to know that he may have won this battle, but not the war. She pulled herself together and looked him dead in the eye. “You…are no king.”

Discord snapped. He pressed her thighs to her chest and thrust hard. Her pained scream was music to his ears. He ground against her a moment before pulling out and thrusting again.

Celestia gripped the sheets around her. Between his pounding and being bent nearly in half, she was struggling for breath. The pain dulled little by little as he continued. Her cries of agony were gradually changing to stifled moans of pleasure.

Discord noticed this. He stopped thrusting and buried himself deep inside her. He looked down at her disheveled form. Her chest rose and fell just as quickly as his, her robe open and pooling around her. Hair clung to her face and splayed across the bed. Her red cheeks were riddled with tear trails and her mouth hung open for breath. She was close. A little further and she would break.

He wrapped her legs around him. He leaned forward and buried his face in her neck. He brought his hands up to squeeze her butt. He felt her hesitantly grind against him. He smirked and brought his lips to her ear. “What’s the matter? I thought you wanted me to stop.” She pushed harder than ever against his shoulders. He grabbed one of her hands and kissed her palm mockingly. ”Don’t worry. We’ll be finished soon enough.” He started thrusting again as he bit her shoulder.

Celestia wrapped her arms around Discord to steady herself.  She raked her nails down his back, hoping to cause him pain and make him stop. Her second orgasm was close and she didn’t want to give into him again. Her plan backfired.

Discord thrust with more vigor. The feeling of her scratching at his back spurred him on.  He felt her shiver under him before arching her body closer to him and screaming out. The feeling of her walls clenching around his member brought his release as well.

Celestia flinched as he moaned into her shoulder and his seed filled her.  Nausea rose in her stomach. She felt a knot develop in her throat and tears fell. He thrust a few more times before he pulled out and sat on the edge of the bed. She curled into a ball and closed her robe around her, turning her back to him.

He smirked at the stains of semen and blood on her robe. He buckled his pants before heading out of the door. “I expect you to be at breakfast in the morning. If you’re not, I’ll prepare lesson two.” The sound of the door closing echoed in the room. Celestia hugged herself tightly as a sob forced itself out.

~*~

Luna’s glowing blue eyes subsided as she landed on the balcony of her sister’s room. Her search took longer than expected, but she was ready for the next step in their plan. She entered the room and paused immediately. A strange stench filled the room. She stepped inside and checked the room. Celestia’s dirty bag rested on her desk, untouched. Her bed, however, was in complete disarray. The sheets were flung every which way and the pillows had been thrown across the room, a few paintings knocked from their hook.

Luna noticed a shirt crumpled at her feet. She recognized it as Discord’s and her heart skipped a beat. ‘Where is Celestia?’ She looked frantically around for a clue. The sound of a muffled cry hit her ears and she turned in its direction. It was coming from the bathroom. She rushed over and pushed the door open. Her eyes quickly scanned the room. She found her sister huddled under the shower, the water washing over her. She was hugging her knees and hid her face in her arms.

Luna rushed over. “Celestia, what is it? Are you alright?” Celestia simply shook her head, not looking up. Luna noticed that she was still in her robe. A few drops of red on the robe’s tail caught her eye. Her concern grew.  “What happened?” She tried to brush a few wet strands of hair behind Celestia’s ear.

Celestia immediately jumped back, smacking her hand away. Luna’s eyes widened as Celestia looked up at her. Her eyes were puffy from crying and she looked exhausted. Her lip was healing from a cut. As Luna’s gaze lowered, she took notice of the bruises the dotted her sister’s neck, some close to bleeding. She turned her attention back to her sister’s face. Fear replaced the glow that she once had.  “Tia…”

Celestia seemed to snap out of a trance. “Luna…” The knot in her throat returned and she broke down in sobs again. She threw herself into Luna’s arms.

Luna was surprised at her sister’s outburst. As she held her sister, realization slowly dawned on her. ‘Discord.’ Discord had been here. He was here and had hurt her sister in the worst possible way. She hugged Celestia tight. Soon she was soaked from her sister’s robe and the shower. She ran a hand through Celestia’s hair as she cried, whispering soothing words to her. Her mind shifted to the elements in their possession. It was decided. Discord had taken away Celestia’s choice…

…and she would take away his.
