A Goddess Beckons

by neorenamon

Now that she was living with her true love Zecora, Opa felt that she was living a life of love and peace at last. As Zecora taught her the finer points of herbalism and potion making, she knew that she would be as useful as the zebra was to her pony friends. It was her dream to remain in a land that seemed so peaceful compared to the war torn land she thought she had left so far behind her now.

But their reverie was disturbed as they heard somepony smack into the side of the tree that was Zecora's hut. Opa glanced out the window to see that Derpy the Mailmare had misjudged distances once more and crashed into the side of the tree. She heard it was something Derpy was known for doing back in Ponyville.

"Message for Opa," she moaned as she slipped onto the ground.

Zecora shrugged. She wasn't used to anypony sending messages out to her hut let alone from somepony in town. If Twilight needed to consult with them about anything, she surely would just come over and ask about it. There was no formality between them as the Celestial Elements now. And if Celestia needed them for some task, she would simply send a message to her student Twilight and let her bring them into the matter herself.

So Opa opened the window as a scroll was held before her.

"How can this possibly be," she asked, "that there's a message for me?"

"Then let us read the message now," said Zecora as she came over to look, "and find what the sender intends and how."

Opa took the message through the window as she heard Derpy moan, "Thanks for using Equestria Postal Service. Have a nice day."

She closed the window as she looked at the scroll's seal. It looked like the official seal of Princess Luna, now living all but in exile at the Library Estate of Ponyville's own Queen Sombrarity. Now that the darkness of Nightmare Moon was again living in Luna, she had to appear to be away on sabbatical even as her older sister resumed her responsibilities for raising the sun and moon once more for the time being. Until the day that Luna prayed that Nightmare Moon was a distant memory once more.

As the Celestial Element of Dreams, she was one of the few beings who could monitor the dreams and nightmares of her own alicorn Goddess. Her soul was tormented by what she remembered of being Nightmare Moon now. The old feelings of envy and hate that drove her to rebel against her older sister's rule were now plain to see like an old battle wound reopened. The way she felt so small in the glory of her older sister's ironic shadow, underappreciated by all of Celestia's adoring subjects. How so few ponies paid homage to the night as they rested between days of labor and toiling to make a living.

While the throngs were willing to break their backs for her older sister, they all but spat in her face when it came time to rule the night once more. Her Night Court seemed all but empty as she took her duties and performed them without any fanfare like that gushed all over Celestia.

Yet her older sister seemed all but callously indifferent to her own sister's suffering in silence. Her soul was consumed with the need to take her sister's place as the favorite of the ponies, and yet she knew it would never come to pass on her own. In her own mind, she thought that if there was no more day, the ponies would have no choice but to celebrate her as she deserved, but that required that Celestia be removed from the picture so she could be the one and only Princess.

But as she lived with Queen Sombrarity, no pony seemed to realize that Nightmare Moon was the real deal. They all believed she was some royal groupie that used her magic to just pretend to be a nightmare like her friends. She was relieved to be serving Queen Sombrarity, as it was by her control collar that her unending rage was kept in check. That Nightmare Moon couldn't just lash out and hurt those around her again.

Now Luna was requesting Opa formally to attend the needs of her Night Goddess now. Opa secretly dreamed of the day her Lunar Goddess would summon her to attend some need of hers. She longed to meet her Moon Goddess privately almost as much as she loved living at the side of Zecora. While she learned during the day, Zecora learned about love from her at night.

"Your Moon Goddess now has a need," said Zecora softly as she read the scroll, "Go to her side with great speed."

"Will my love be okay," she asked, "should I be gone a day?"

She leaned in to kiss Opa's neck as she sighed. "I shall ache every moment that you are away," she replied, "but I have no right to demand that you stay."

"I love you so that you understand," she said as she kissed Zecora back, "that my moment of audience is at hand."

"So I shall wait for what is best," she whispered in Opa's ear, "while I wait for you to get dressed."

While the two of them were all but naked on their own, it was quite a sight they made when they forgot to get dressed going to town. The stallions stared at their motherly breasts, and the mares just simply looked down their noses at what they were sure was exhibitionism on display. It was just the way things were back home when a maiden freely showed her chest in her attempts to attract a warrior's attention to herself. It was the display of a maiden's chest that signalled she was open to a warrior's affections, and perhaps she should be taken back to his own village to be his wife. That was pretty much the limits of what was allowed of mares when she lived back home.

She was content to let Zecora slip a tube top over her breasts and cover them as she slipped on a mid length red skirt. As she secured the belt, Zecora slipped her black silk vest over her shoulders and playfully buttoned the bottom two buttons. Even though bare chested maidens were frowned on by civilized ponies, it was more than okay to suggest what treasures lay beneath a thin veil of cloth. Then Zecora helped her into her sandals as she lied the laces up her lower legs. Then she helped Opa shoulder a bag of what she thought she might need as she travelled to Ponyville. She then took up her trusty staff. It was the only weapon she bothered to take with her, as innocent as it appeared.

"Go and aid you Goddess true," whispered Zecora, "and I shall wait here aching for you."

Opa kissed her on the lips even as she replied, "And while I shall rush back as fast as I can, I shall relish the time together that we plan."

She knew that it had to be some private matter to discuss since Twilight herself was apparently not a party to the summons. But Opa travelled swiftly through the Everfree Forest as she rushed past the new dog community on her way to Ponyville. On her way to the Library Manor of Ponyville's own Queen Sombrarity. It was one of the traits of an Okapi that she could run great distances swiftly without undo tiring. It was one of the things she had to live with with the packs of Hyena warriors always nipping at her tribe's heels.

Opa was always content to blaze her own trail as she went. She always like to find her own way. The air felt so good as it rushed by her, and even the long jump she took over a patch of Poison Joke was not going to slow her down one bit. She could feel a manicore glaring at her as she ran by, but even the monster knew this mare was not somepony he should be messing with. When he got whacked upside the head the last time he tested her, he figured the feisty mare was just not worth the trouble to try and make a meal of.

She even managed to pole vault over a sink hole that collapsed into an underground cave before she even noticed it was really in her way. As swift as she moved, she didn't have much time to take in the sights and smell the flowers. Only evaluate the obstacles and threats, and avoid them as best she could.

It was just the way she liked living.

She watched Applejack tending to the apples as she ran by. The orange mare waved as she paused from her chores to eat one of her delicious apples. Then she ran by the new School complex as she hit the border of Ponyville proper. Like a passing wind, she weaved in and out of the traffic easily as she headed for her final destination.

The smell of muffins baking from Sugarcube Corners was almost enough to make Opa stop, but she simply waved at Pinkie as she ran by. There was no time for treats now that her Goddess had summoned her. That she was invited to privately meet Luna even as she looked like a Nightmare Moon wannabe. She skid to a stop at the Library door even she heard somepony coming to answer the door.

It was amazing how Bakabaka just seemed to somehow know when somepony was going to be at the door as it opened, and the maid in her black lace silk uniform curtsied before Opa. The thin small chested Oryx was always happy to see one of her sisters that came from her homeland to Equestria with her.

"It is a pleasure that you should visit us here with a smile," she said with a smile, "so please come in and stay with us for a while."

But Opa simply showed the maid the summons as she looked it over.

"Who ever is it at the door, dahling?" she heard Sombrarity asking from somewhere in the library.

"Opa is who it appears to be," she replied, "and Nightmare Moon has called for her to see."

"The poor thing has so been down in the dumps lately," she replied, "I hope you can do something to cheer her up."

"I shall inform Miss Luna that you are here," she replied, "There may be a little wait is what I fear."

"A little wait I don't mind," answered Opa, "so inform should you be so kind."

Bakabaka nodded as she slipped back and ran off someplace. Opa waited for her to return.

"I hope you didn't just streak over here again," sighed Sombrarity, "Each time you cause a commotion when you come streaking into town like that. I'd swear I have to beat those colts away from you with a large stick when they come to gawk at you motherly breasts, my dear. And ponies say the Equestria Geographic Magazine is just soft porn for colts these days."

"I am sorry to trouble you," she replied, "It is not something I intentionally do."

Then Bakabaka came back as she said, "Mistress Luna is waiting for you. She is so distressed to meet you too."

So Opa followed Bakabaka into the private quarters wing as the climbed the stairs to the room labelled 'Nightmare Moon's Room'.

"Mistress Opa is now with me," she said through the door, "answering your summons for her to see."

"Please come in," she replied.

She was surprised to see Luna naked curled up on the bed in a fetal ball as she laid staring at the door. Opa moved swiftly over to her side as Bakabaka slowly closed the door behind her.

"Oh living Goddess of the Night that I love so," she pleaded, "tell me your troubles that I should know."

"You know the monster I have inside me," replied Luna as tears welled from her eyes, "and yet you still think of me as some kind of Goddess. I'm no Goddess. Just a nightmare of a monster now."

"Please tell me what I might do," she pleaded, "to aid a Goddess and comfort you."

Opa drew Luna into her embrace as she began to cry as well.

"A Princess shouldn't be such a crybaby," she said as Opa hugged her, "I feel such shame for being... so weak."

"I will never judge a Goddess for crying," said Opa as she cradled Luna, "It only means she cares and is trying."

"I have no right to demand your help," she wept, "I'm such a selfish monster now."

"My Goddess should not herself berate," she replied, "Her pain is some to which I can relate."

"I don't deserve you loyalty!" bawled Luna, "I'm not worthy!"

"How many days have you lied awake?" asked Opa with concern, "How much more of this can you take?"

But now poor Luna was crying her heart out as all her suffering was laid bare. She seemed desperate as she hung her arms about Opa's waist. Opa's own tears streamed down her face as she watched her Goddess weeping. It didn't matter who could hear Luna's bawling should they come by the door now.

"I shall not stray from your side or leave," she said softly, "Until you no longer have a need to grieve. Until I have removed the stain that is your suffering and pain."

"You must think I'm the most horrible older sister ever," sniffed Celestia.

Opa looked up to see that Celestia was looking in one them as she watched them holding each other. She could see that Celestia had been crying as well.

"Even a Goddess can sometimes fail," replied Opa, "but they should live to tell the tale."

"But I was so callous to my little sister's suffering," she said softly as the tears flowed down her cheeks freely, "She blames herself for Nightmare Moon now, but I'M THE REAL MONSTER HERE!"

"Queen Sombrarity told you I was here?" she asked, "She secretly care about you two she holds dear."

Celestia walked in wearing naught but a little harness of ropes as clothing. She appeared to have been paddled as some punishment either by Sombrarity or perhaps her Master in Training, Spike.

"There has been enough suffering and blame," said Opa as she gestured for Celestia to join them, "I know you both love each other just the same."

"Forgive me, sweet Luna, for letting you down again," cried Celestia as she walked over.

"I'm the one who left you all alone these past 1,000 years," cried Luna, "I'm the one who should be begging you for forgiveness!"

"You both need your rest and sleep," said Opa, "and in your place should I so weep."

Celestia crawled on the bed behind them, as her backside was still to sore to sit.

"A thousand years I've blamed myself for having to banish you, little sister," she cried, "and I've let Rarity punish me secretly for letting you all down."

"Even a Goddess is not perfect," she replied, "so to you both should I give such respect."

She reached into her bag and pulled a small pot out from it.

"This medicine should help both of you to sleep," she said as she opened it and offered it to Luna, "Just one good sip and I shall help your dreams to keep."

Luna took a swallow, and then Opa turned to offer a drink to Celestia. Celestia took a draught herself, and then Opa took a drink of it herself. She stoppered up the pot before putting it back in her bag. Then she set aside her bags and shed her clothes as she crawled between her two Goddesses. She laid to Luna's back and spooned her even as Celestia lay to Opa's back and spooned her.

Nightmare Moon slowly yawned as she waited for sleep to finally overtake her. She had not slept a wink in three days, she was so distressed. Now she could sleep in peace knowing that her loyal worshipper and her older sister would now be in her dreams with her. Opa wrapped her arms about Nightmare Moon's waist even as Celestia did the same for her.

Nightmare Knight

by neorenamon

Luna awoke resting on a black cloud. Even though it should have been dark and scary, she was comforted by the cloud's moist fluffiness. She wondered where she might be in the sky, or when she got there. So Luna stood up and stretched her legs.

"Monster!!" screamed a stallion nearby.

Luna spun to see a blue pegasus looking at her in terror. His silvery mane seemed to shimmer in the moonlight like the silver lining of a black cloud.

"Please," begged Luna, "We're not her any more. Don't be..."

But the pony was already flying full speed towards the cloud city beyond. The dark clouds were gathering around even though the Pegasi were doing nothing to make the storm happen. She remembered that as Nightmare Moon, she could create a storm from her mane. But it was clear that the storm wasn't coming from her this time.

"Get used to it," hissed a nearby mare, "You're a monster and they'll never see you any other way!" A familiar silver helmed head emerged from the storm clouds to stare her in the eyes.

"NIGHTMARE MOON!!" replied Luna in distress.

"Don't act like we're different ponies," groaned Nightmare Moon, "I'm your true self. What you really are like on the inside. I'm your jealousy. Your envy. Your spitefulness. You made me in the image of what you didn't have the courage to be on your own."

"The Elements!" she protested, "The Elements of Harmony cured me! They made me whole again! I thought I got rid of you forever!"

But Nightmare Moon only laughed darkly as she hissed, "You can never be rid of me! You'll never stop being a monster!"

"Nooo!" screamed Luna, "I love big sister! The ponies of Equestria are accepting me! I don't have to be as important as big sister now! I have no room left for you in my life any more!"

Nightmare Moon simply laughed darkly again. Then she looked at the cloud city as the winds rose and lightning began to flash.

"Stop it!" she cried, "Leave them alone!"

"Remember Stratodale?!" she hissed back, "How they mocked you?! How they ridiculed your lovely night as a waste of time?! Remember how little they made you feel in the glow of Princess Celestia?!" As Nightmare Moon's rage grew, the storm became more intense. Lightning began to strike the cloud buildings.

"NOOO!" screamed Luna, "I didn't really want to hurt them!"

"Yes you did!" retorted Nightmare Moon, "You wanted them to suffer! You wanted to make them pay!"

Screams began to be heard from the buildings. They were being hurt. Their homes were being torn apart by the wind and storm. Luna began running towards the village to help them, but Nightmare Moon arose to block her path.

"I didn't want to hurt them!" called Luna, "All I wanted was their respect and love like they showered on big sister!"

"Stop lying to yourself, you whiny little brat!" hissed Nightmare Moon, "You wanted to destroy every pony that disrespected you!"

The storm grew stronger as the buildings began to tear apart before Luna's horrified gaze.

"I wanted to rule them!" cried Luna, "Not destroy them! As a Princess, I'm supposed to protect them from!.."

"MONSTERS LIKE YOU?!"

"NOOO!!!"

The sun rose high above the clouds and began to burn them away with it's radiant glow.

"Fear not little sister," said the soothing voice of Celestia from the sky, "I shall end this rogue storm and protect the Pegasi."

The ponies began emerging from their damaged homes calling out the praises of Princess Celestia.

"SEE?!" hissed Nightmare Moon, "Even now they spurn you!! Only Celestia matters to them!! YOU! ARE! NOTHING!"

"Do not take Luna for a foal," replied another voice about them, "Her magic is used for that kind of goal."

"Opa?!" asked Luna as she looked around.

"My sweet goddess shouldn't fear," she replied, "The knight of her dreams is now here."

Luna could only stare as Opa emerged from behind a cloud bearing shining steel armor about her arms, legs, back and chest. A skirt of chainmail covered her loins and thighs. Her legs were covered with boots covered with scales of steel as well. Opa's head was protected by a silver chamfron that imitated the helm of Nightmare Moon down to her regal horn. But the thing that Luna stared at most was Opa's feathered wings made from glowing violet magical energy.

"You're a foal!" hissed Nightmare Moon, "You know NOTHING of Luna's pain and suffering!"

"If you think I'm a stranger to suffering," replied Opa, "I shall show you another thing!"

The clouds changed as they filled their sight, and then turned into black smoke. It was the smoke of a large fire. As they saw through the smoke, a village of huts began to emerge. Huts made of dried mud and sticks covered with tall dry grass. All the huts were in the process of burning down even as they watched, but then a foal rushed in desperate to find somepony. Even though her eyes were wide with terror, she moved ahead with purpose.

"What manner of nonsense is this?!" hissed Nightmare Moon.

"If you should let things be," replied Opa, "then you shall surely see."

"This is your homeland," observed Celestia, "The one you left behind."

Opa simply nodded. They watched as the foal raced to the remains of the largest hut towards the center of the village. But the ground was wet, and there was no sign of rain. In the glimmer of the fires, it became clear that the ground was bloody. Against the remains of the huts, there was a few pieces from broken spears. The shredded remains of a kite shield made from tree bark as well.

"No," cried Luna, "The carnage. The death that must have taken place here..."

"Is none of our concerns!" hissed Nightmare Moon.

The foal heard the door rustling as she dove for cover behind a broken wall of sticks. A pen that at one time held the tribe's goats. The door opened as a large hulking Hyena warrior stuck his head out and sniffed. There was a forearm clutched in his jaws all but eaten. But the wrist bore the golden hoops that the foal seemed to know by sight. The finger bore a fine silver ring containing a diamond chip.

"Father..." choked the little foal as she watched in horror. She couldn't speak more than just the one word.

"Are there any of those blasted Okapi left?!" asked a voice from behind the warrior.

He paused to take the arm from his mouth. "I can't smell any more over all the flames and blood," hissed the warrior.

"I'm sure some of the mares and foals escaped," hissed the voice within, "We will hunt them down and feast on them just like their warriors who thought they could stand up to marauders as fierce as us!"

The warrior just chuckled. He turned as he walked back in. "I think this one's a little over cooked," was the last thing they heard him say.

The scene changed again as smoke returned to being clouds. Then the clouds began to part as they looked down on the Palace of Canterlot.

"I didn't know," cried Luna as they drifted towards her balcony.

"That is why my sisters and I went away," said Opa, "to find ourselves a better land to stay. We sought kinder stallions with which to relate. The need for a trusted mate was surely great."

Luna looked into the streets around the Palace to see Jifar the Giraffe, Bakabaka the Oryx, Kimbuala the Abada, Acacia the Water-Buffalo and a few others who had gathered together to help cast the great teleportation spell that brought them all to the hut of Zecora the Zebra so far away from the war torn land they left behind. They were all mares that had no warrior claiming them. No armed stallion to protect them from marauders as Opa's father had.

"You... you're so strong," said Luna softly, "You have the kind of strength I wish I had."

"You have your own strength that's not so bad," said Opa as she walked over, "so please let my Goddess be not so troubled and sad."

Luna rushed up to her and embraced her tightly. Opa returned the embrace with a warm hug of her own.

"So you've seen some carnage," hissed Nightmare Moon, "Don't think that makes you better than us!"

"Our pain makes us not better as I believe," replied Opa, "but I think it's about time that you leave."

Nightmare Moon flew into Opa's face as she sneered, "You may be able to visit dreams, but we control nightmares! *How dare you make demands of... *HURK!****" But her words were cut off as Opa simple reached out and grabbed her by her throat with a single hand.

"How could you have bested her so easily?" asked Luna.

"Because she is but one while I am part of three," replied Opa as the other Celestial Elements: Princess Twilight Sparkle and wise Zecora appeared around her, "That is why I am much stronger than her you see. I can battle to any length when I share their strength."

Nightmare Moon glared defiantly at Opa even as she tried to pry her grip from her throat loose with both of her hands.

"But with the Elements returned to the Tree of Harmony," asked Celestia, "how can we eliminate Nightmare Moon's darkness from sweet Luna once again?!"

"This darkness you cannot destroy," replied Opa, "but she can only harass and annoy. I shall show my Goddess what to do so she may live with her darkness too. But when you see a loving face, Nightmare Moon shall know her place."

"I'll never ignore, neglect or disrespect my little sister ever again!" called Celestia as she laid a wing over Luna's shoulders.

"And I promise not to hide our feelings any more," replied Luna, "I shall speak to you of our problems openly. We shall become the loving sisters I've always wanted us to be. The kind of little sister that big sister can be proud of."

The others stared in amazement as Nightmare Moon began to shrink in Opa's grip.

"You were always the little sister I was so proud of," replied Celestia, "but I was the one who couldn't be troubled to tell you that."

"In spite of all the progress you show," said Opa softly, "you both have some way more to go."

Nightmare Moon struggled more wildly as she continued to shrink.

"This darkness cannot be banished or simply go away," continued Opa, "so you must learn to live with her and let her stay."

"You'll help me do that, won't you?!" begged Luna.

"My Goddess need not beg or ask," she replied, "for this is surely my new task."

A hole opened in the ground at their feet as she dropped Nightmare Moon into it without ceremony.

"But we've heard enough from you today!" snorted Opa, "Wakefulness shall be soon on its way."

Luna glomped Opa even as Celestia glomped the two of them.

"Let us take time to delight," suggested Opa, "in the beauty of the moon and night."

Luna looked to her big sister as she nodded back. Both of their horns glowed as the sun receded and the moon rose in its place. As the moon rose, the beautiful twinkling stars began to populate the clear sky as well. Each star shone in the sky like a small gemstone, and like gems, no two stars were exactly the same. Some twinkled more while some shone brighter, but each star had its own place in the night sky.

"They're all so beautiful," sighed Celestia, "just like my little sister."

Luna blushed as she buried her face against Opa's chest. Her horn rested against Opa's shoulder as it brushed against her cheek.

"Have I told you lately how much I love you?"

"Your love you must attest to and tell," said Opa, "as each proclamation is like a little spell."

Luna snuggled with her devout follower as they all prepared to wake up.

(3) Cometh the Night

by neorenamon

Opa slowly woke up as she spooned Luna, and was in turn spooned by Celestia. She could hear the two sisters' breathing change as they also went through the process of waking up. Opa could feel their heartbeats as they increased as part of the waking process. It felt a bit odd that Celestia's mouth hung open even as the tip of her tongue lay in Opa's ear.

"Perhaps with a little tease," whispered Opa, "may my Goddess a little please."

Luna shifted a little as Opa's hand slipped down her stomach towards her crotch. Her fingertips gently slid between Luna's legs as she brushed over her clit sheath. Even though they were just sleeping, she could feel that Luna's mareslit was feeling a bit warm and damp.

Her other hand that lay underneath Luna slipped upwards as she began to cup the underside of the lower breast. She cupped her hand around Luna's firm round tit even as she moved her hand closer to the areola.

Nightmare Moon's body sighed as she shifted her legs slightly.

"While Nightmare Moon other ponies may see," she sighed, "You'll always be the Moon Goddess to me."

Her fingers moved past the sheath as she felt her Goddess' marelips between her legs. She gently rubbed the upper part as Nightmare Moon's body shivered. Opa pressed her body tighter against Luna's back and wings as her own breasts were mooshed flatter against Nightmare Moon's back.

"Uhh..." moaned Luna as she shivered against Opa's embrace.

Now Opa's hand had engulfed the better part of her breast, or at least fully covered the nipple area as her Goddess' breathing quickened.

Celestia was stirring behind Opa as her own hands rubbed Opa's stomach warmly.

Nightmare Moon was getting aroused by Opa's gently touch even as she subconsciously raised her upper leg to allow her easier access to her now damp mareslit.

"Not... worthy," sighed Luna half awake.

"You can only be worthy of one like me," she panted back, "Undying devotion that all should see."

"I... love you... little sister," sighed Celestia half awake herself.

"Your affections are so easily known," answered Opa, "that your love must surely be shown."

Opa used the first joint of her middle finger to part her marelips and just barely tease the opening of her glory hole light enough to not really wake her any further. She had a fair amount of practice since she loved to spoon Zecora in bed and gently tease her mareslit so softly.

"Not a... worthy Goddess," moaned Luna quietly.

"Your nightmare has truly ended," she replied, "so by love shall you be mended."

Luna shivered as she was teased. Even her flowing tail was twitching against Opa's body.

"Thought... Nightmare Moon... forever gone..." sighed Celestia.

But Opa continued to stroke her mareslit as she raised her leg just a little higher. Her hand was fondling the motherly breast softly even as her nipple was beginning to firm up. Opa began to sing into Luna's ear softly and quietly as she continued to fondle and tease her.

Oh the Goddess that I know,

your loyal servant loves you so.

I can make myself so brave

to serve as your loving slave.

That's what devotion means to me

as I serve my Goddess so loyally.

To my Lunar Goddess I give my all,

always at her beck and call.

A warrior may someday make me a wife,

but the Goddesses may demand our life.

A slave's life is not their own,

but always show a loyal tone.

I shall kneel, your hooves to kiss,

As your love I cannot miss.

To my Lunar Goddess I give my all,

always at her beck and call.

So your nightmares I shall send away.

I cannot let their troubles stay.

You say you are not worthy of me,

but you're better by far to see.

Only time will let me act and do

to make myself worthy of you.

Opa's voice flowed over Luna as she weaved just a little magic into her song. Luna seemed more at ease even as her fingers continued to tease her. Her hands came to rest over Opa's as she encouraged them to caress her even more firmly.

"You sing so well," panted Celestia as she felt the relaxing power of Opa's song as well.

But Opa was a little too busy nibbling at Luna's eartip to respond by then.

"If I could only go back as do it over now," sighed Celestia, "I'd do things so different. Things would have gone so much better for all of us."

She squirmed as she pressed her own body and bosom more firmly against Opa's back.

"I live to ease your suffering," she whispered, "because my duty to you is surely the thing. But Celestia should never regret, as she can make things better yet."

"I'm so glad you believe in us so much. Little sister has been alone so long when she's been taking care of all the ponies' dreams by herself," added Celestia, "It's such a relief that she can share her duties with one as good as you."

"My sweet Goddess I serve," she replied, "in the manner she does deserve."

"But you are no slave of Luna's," replied Celestia, "You are her Knight and guardian."

"Names and titles matter not," she answered, "only service matters a lot."

Luna's panting increased as Opa slowly worked her finger into her birth canal. She began to stroke her clit under the pad of her thumb as it began to arouse and slip into the open in its own right. Her eyes closed tight as the feelings increased in her loins.

"Uh..." sighed Celestia, "It's almost time to lower the sun and bring forth the night. I hope the Guards will make the proper excuses for my not being there in person this time."

"Later I wish to see the stars and moon," said Opa, "while I soothe her with another tune."

"But aren't you lonely being away from Zecora? I feel so bad keeping you away from your own love."

"My Goddess surely requires my deeds," panted Opa, "to take care of her pain and needs."

Celestia partly rolled to her back, but Opa wasn't quite sure what she was doing where she couldn't see. But pleasuring Luna was taking up much of Opa's attention anyways. There was something scratching like a quill against a scroll though she figured it must have been an official note to a Guard or something. Then she felt a flash of magic which soon quickly faded.

Opa's finger pressed a bit deeper into Luna as her birth canal grew slicker. She could feel Luna's nipple becoming warmer and firmer even as the palm of her hand lightly brushed over it.

The light dimmed beyond the closed curtains, and Opa could tell that Celestia was performing the act to change from the day to the sweet beautiful night.

Judging by Luna's panting and her body's twitching, she wasn't far from the edge of ecstasy. Her expert teasing was having the full effect that Opa was intending for her. But time passed as she was teased, but she didn't want her Goddess to cum too soon. Her leg was almost fully raised as Opa added a second finger, and Luna's clit was fully erect from it's sheath now. To further enhance the effect, she wrapped her long purple tongue about Luna's horn and began to lick it from base to tip.

Celestia returned to cuddling with Opa as she felt her little sister shivering. She was amazed when she saw the length of Opa's tongue and just what she could do with it.

"Uh..." panted Luna, "Ahh... Aaahhhhhh...." She continued to twitch as Opa teased her and made her so hot'n'bothered.

"Oh if I didn't care so much about my sweet little sister," panted Celestia, "I might just be a little jealous of all the attention you shower on her."

"While a fine Goddess you are too," she replied around her tongue, "I am surely not the best one for you. You have Zecora, Bakabaka and Twilight on your side, so my Goddess Luna must never be denied."

"Well I'm so glad that little sister has her own follower," replied Celestia softly, "I never again want to have her suffering because of my mistakes."

"While it may not be the last," she replied, "the worst mistakes are in the past."

Luna leaned back, resting her head over Opa's shoulder as she finally entered into her climax.

"I may be selfish," replied Celestia, "but I've told the Guards we're not to be disturbed this evening without a major kingdom ending crisis. It's about time I spent time with Luna and her Knight."

"Oh big sister," moaned Luna, "You didn't have to..."

"It's long past time that I showed you how much I care about you at last, sweet Luna."

Luna gave one last long low moan as she came into her orgasm, and Opa did her best to tease it out as long as she possibly could. After a few minutes, she came down, rolled over and licked Opa's face. Opa unwound her tongue from Luna's horn before she leaned back and kissed Luna on the lips. Luna purred into the kiss as she felt Opa's spit dripping down her horn. Now she was using her tongue to play with Luna's tongue.

"Oh, I think we're going to need a nice long bath after this," sighed Celestia warmly.

Cometh the Dawn

After they pleased each other for a while, Celestia and Luna lowered the moon and raised the sun without any ceremony or fanfare. It seemed to be growing more common since Celestia was assumed she was doing it alone until Luna returned from her suddenly announced sabbatical to places unknown. So the three of them had time to themselves as Celestia had warned the Guards not to bother them. They slept together spooned until almost midday before they arose and moved over to Celestia's regal bath. The bath was fully stocked and yet totally unattended. It only seemed proper that Celestia be alone with a Celestial Element while discussing important matters as well as not having to explain why they were hanging out with a 'Nightmare Moon wannabe' as most ponies thought of the real Nightmare Moon. It wasn't like the royal tube wasn't spacious enough for three or even four full grown ponies to bath at the same time.

While Opa doted on serving her Moon Goddess' every whim, she surely didn't ignore the Goddess Celestia either. They in turn were more than happy to assist in the cleaning of Opa. It was a fairly innocent game as long as hands didn't linger too long on the more sensitive parts of another mare. But still it was kind of hard not to apply a heartfelt kiss, impassioned lick or sensual caress while they were being cleaned.

Once they were all cleaned, they dressed for the day. It was a tad awkward as none truly had full access to the wardrobes that they were accustomed to, especially Opa who was quite comfortable wearing naught but a loincloth, her brass rings, a few simple adornments and a smile. After all, being topless was normal in her former tribe and an advertisement of a mare's availability to her perspective warrior mates. But since they were in Luna's 'old room', they were all dressed in black soon enough. Celestia was in a slightly different problem as she had confessed she had not permission of Queen Sombrarity to remove the rope harness she had been wearing when she first appeared at the door, so her dress did have some odd lines underneath.

Of course the maidmares who wheeled in their breakfast were far too professional if not loyal not to question anything odd that they may have perceived in the room. After a night of teasing, they were all in the mood to eat well that morning. They waited patiently by their carts as they ate their food of fruits, nuts and whole grain flakes along with their hay bacon, toast, juice, milk and breakfast tea. Then they patiently gathered up the dishes and left when their duties were done.

But then they were all taken slightly by surprise when a Guard knocked at the door and announced the arrival of Zecora. He requested that she should be granted permission to enter.

"Please send her in," said Celestia calmly as she felt as if she had the most 'right' to speak for them.

A mare entered garbed in white cloak with a hood over her head, and yet her muzzle spoke of her identity as Zecora.

"Oh my love I have missed so," she said quietly, "Your company now is what I must know."

"Something that you need not do," replied Opa, "as I have missed your love too. But Princess Luna had of my need. I couldn't withhold my helpful deed. Her mind troubles her heart and dreams so. Nightmare Moon must be dealt with to cure Luna's pain and woe."

But Luna only looked away from them. Celestia slid closer to her as she placed a hand upon her shoulder. "What troubles you, little sister?" she asked quietly into her ear.

"I have dragged Opa away from her true love to attend my own selfish needs," sighed Luna, "It is not fair we should do such a thing to them even now."

"But we both are your chosen Knight," replied Zecora, "To leave you unattended should not be right."

"With my love Zecora do I agree," added Opa, "Duty to you comes before all you see."

Zecora moved closer to them as Opa turned to wrap her arms about Luna. Then she wrapped her own arms about them both as well.

"That is why we are all here for you now, little sister," agreed Celestia.

"And we shall do all that we can do," said Zecora, "now that we are here for you."

"I demand so much," sniffed Luna, "but give so little in return..."

"We help you without any need to repay," replied Zecora, "in any way that we can or may."

"Well I sure hope you aren't trying to write me out of this story," said a deep voice nearby.

They all turned to see Queen Sombrarity standing in the open door.
