Moondancer

"That... that was...", Moondancer was shocked.

"Incredible! A first-hand account from a thousand years ago!", Twilight was having difficulty holding back her enthusiasm, "Princess Celestia had a sister. Princess Celestia had a sister! This changes everything! She must have somehow died, but what could kill an goddess? And the princess blamed herself 'for being so blind'... I wonder what that meant? And Celestia was constantly reminded of her sister here, so they abandoned this place and relocated the capital to Canterlot! He said that the forest had turned against them; maybe the forest wasn't always as hostile when this 'Princess Luna' was around. Was she a Princess of nature? But 'Luna' suggests the moon, based on the language of ancient Roam. Does that mean Princess Celestia used to only control the sun? Or..."

"Breathe, sweetie.", Moondancer had recovered from her shock and was now merely amused by Twilight's response.

"Well, I have no doubt that this will get you your history credit, but, well, we can’t take him to Canterlot, can we?”

"He would never let us take his phylactery from here,” agreed Moondancer, “We can do a proper interview, I suppose, once he’s feeling better. And at least we know some of the answers to our questions now. We just need to find some supporting evidence. There must be something in the castle that will prove her existence and we can take with us…”

“Okay, so we now need to explore the rest of the castle.”

“Yup. But first, follow me.”

Moondancer led a bemused Twilight out of the library ruins and back to the grove of fruit trees in the garden. The sun was rapidly setting behind the castle walls, flooding the orchard with a last caress of golden light. Faint and distant birdsong could be heard over the babble of the small brook, and a warm breeze carried with it the fragrance of ripe apples.

Moondancer turned to face a deeply confused Twilight. She was smiling mysteriously. "Forgotten something, Twilight?" she asked with a raised eyebrow. Twilight clearly had, because her confusion remained.

“Reward for progress, Twilight. Rewards for progress. And this definitely counts. So, give me your pack, stand over there, and don’t move.”

Twilight awkwardly obeyed as best she could, fighting the urge to fidget.

“Good,” said Moondancer, she placing both Twilight’s pack and her own up against a tree. She took the coil of rope from her bag.

Twilight fidgeted uneasily amongst the trees at the edge of the camp. Moondancer pointedly ignored her, examining the coil of rope with a critical eye. The rope did not pass Moondancer’s inspection, and she started infusing it with magic. Twilight couldn’t quite make out the enchantment that Moondancer was using, but it seemed to make the rope more flexible. Twilight bit her lip.

“Undress, slave,” called out Moondancer, without bothering to turn to face Twilight.

Now satisfied with the state of her own rope, Moondancer then took the rope from Twilight’s pack, and started working on that.

She barely glanced at Twilight to check that the spell-caster was following orders obediently.

"No, no. Keep your boots on," Moondancer said, and soon they were the only item remaining.

Twilight stood nervously amongst the trees, completely uncertain about what to do with her hands. Moondancer nodded approvingly before standing back, judging Twilight's position relative to nearby trunks and branches.

“Right, let’s get started. As always, if you’re uncomfortable, if I’m moving too fast, if you suddenly need to pee, if you have an itch that needs scratching, if it’d be better if I went a little softer, or harder, or whatever, tell me. Okay?”

Twilight nodded.

“Good.”

Moondancer casually tossed both coils of softened ropes at Twilight’s feet.

Moondancer’s magic seized the end of one of the ropes and with surprising speed and competence, wound it with many turns around one of Twilight's wrists. Twilight shied away reflexively, but the rope held her arm fast. The other end shot up high into branches of a nearby tree, the coil at Twilight's feet quickly unspooling.

Twilight was staring into the high branches when she suddenly noticed movement on the tree-trunk. With startling speed something long and thin wound down around the trunk and snaked out across the grass to Twilight's feet. Twilight's even quicker reflexes caused her to scream "Snake!", and jump back until the rope on her arm pulled her short. She found herself at an ungainly angle, pulling at the rope on her arm, trying to scramble away from the other end of the rope in panic.

Moondancer sighed. The rope at the foot of the tree formed itself into a loose coil on the ground. "Step into the rope trap, Twilight," she said soothingly, "It won’t bite, I promise."

Twilight stammered an apology, and nervously set her foot in the centre of the coil. She blinked at the speed it wrapped itself around her boot and ankle. She was so transfixed by this that she didn't notice the other rope until it, too, had wrapped itself around her other arm.

With a yelp, she turned to see the other rope shoot up into another tree, this time pulling inexorably until her arms were gently forced into a great 'Y'. This rope too, streaked down the trunk of the tree, but when it hit the grass, the end reared up and slithered towards Twilight like a cobra. Twilight started, and then glared at Moondancer.

Moondancer laughed, and knelt at Twilight's free foot, looking meaningfully at Twilight. A briefly confused Twilight quickly caught on and shifted her stance until she was standing with her legs spread apart a little. Grasping the foot firmly, Moondancer lifted and carefully pulled it a little further towards the rope. Twilight’s foot was quickly entwined like the rest of her limbs and Moondancer stood back, behind Twilight, to admire her work. And Twilight's rear.

Twilight, for her part, tried to turn to look at Moondancer, but was held by the ropes. She pulled testingly at the bonds, and found that there was very little give, but they were at least reasonably comfortable. She did not need to fear rope burns.

“Does that feel okay?”

“Um, uh, yeah.”

“Cool. Normally I’d start with a light spanking or something like that to get the blood flowing, but this is your first time so we’ll take it easy. No spanking, no pinching, no surprises.”

“Thanks.”

Moondancer took a step forward and hugged Twilight closely from behind before walking back to the packs. She leaned back against a tree, arms crossed, and watched Twilight silently, a slight smile on her face.

Few guessed how ordered Twilight's mind was; her checklists were a faint reflection of the lists in her head. Wherever she was, whatever she was doing, she had in her head the task that she was doing and the task that would follow after and so on. Nested regiments of list guided her throughout her day; a small, dry voice in her head saying 'now do this'.

Once Twilight realised that the ropes would not give or fail, her attention turned to Moondancer but the dancer's stillness deflected Twilight's thoughts: Moondancer would not be hurried. The voice in her head faded. There were no tasks to be done, could be done, except 'wait'.

With a barely noticed sigh, Twilight let go of the great coil of tension that kept her forever moving forwards. A deep calm filled her, and she relaxed, trusting herself to the ropes. A graceful surrender.

"I think you get it," Moondancer finally said with a smile, "I was worried you might not."

Moondancer walked back to Twilight, placing each foot directly in front of the other, giving a highly seductive sway to her hips. When she reached her captive she leaned down and joined her in a kiss. She then pulled away and gracefully sat down cross-legged on the grass, in clear view of Twilight. Twilight waited patiently.

"Good girl. You’ve earned a nice reward.”

Twilight twisted in her bonds in anticipation, a heat flaring in her hips that longed to be quenched.

"But first, I'm going to look through your pack."

"What?!"

"I want to see what made you blush so much, earlier," Moondancer said with a grin, "and it's not as if you're going to stop me."

"That's private property. You can't do that."

Moondancer just laughed, carefully laying out the contents of the pack on the grass. When Twilight's magic snatched the pack away, she grinned and wagged a finger at Twilight.

"Ah ah ah! Good girls get gifts. Bad girls get punished, and don't get the happy ending," she taunted. Twilight paused, and then grumpily dropped the pack back at Moondancer's feet.

"Good girl"

It didn't take long for Moondancer to find what she was looking for: there was a modestly-sized dildo at the bottom of the pack. She pulled it out and waved it around with triumphant laughter.

"Ha ha! You were embarrassed by this? Well, it isn't very big, so I suppose I can understand. Don't worry, I won't hold it against you. Might hold it in you, but I don't think you'll complain if I do that, will you?"

Twilight hung her head, blushing, but refused to rise to Moondancer's bait.

“Sorry, that was mean of me. Well, this is a dildo. This bottle of sweet-smelling gel is lubricant. And this,” Moondancer quickly pulled something from her own pack, “is that vibrator you saw earlier. I will now demonstrate their use. For this I will require a volunteer. If you would like to volunteer, please raise your hand.”

Moondancer grinned at Twilight, who had her arms suspended above her head.

“Both hands? Excellent! I love an eager volunteer!”

Twilight found herself giggling at the joke.

“Alright. First we make sure that the volunteer is relaxed and ready.”

Moondancer stood up and casually removed her jacket and hung it on a low tree branch. The bandana soon joined it. Moondancer flicked her free hair off her shoulder and down her back. T-shirt, boots, jeans and underwear all followed with seductive grace until Moondancer was even more naked than Twilight. Twilight moaned eagerly.

Moondancer pulled a sleeping bag from the tent with her aura and placed it on the ground between Twilight’s legs, to give herself something to kneel on. Dildo, vibrato, and bottle of lubricant were placed neatly on the bag, ready for when they would be needed.

“Now, the toys easily lubricated but we need to make sure that the volunteer is too. Thankfully, the volunteer is capable of producing her own lubrication, if properly stimulated. I will now demonstrate a typical technique that should trigger this effect.”

She then kissed Twilight fully on the lips and then worked a trail of kisses down her body. Kneeling, she took position and started to work.

She started by kissing and licking the inside of Twilight's thighs, talking between kisses.

"Everyone is different, you know," *smek*, "so feedback is very important," *slurp*, "a good blow job is a cooperative affair."

"Mmmmmm" hummed Twilight with pleasure.

"Glad you agree." Moondancer's kisses were slowly working towards Twilight's damp pussy, each interspersed by a staccato phrase, "So please keep me informed. On how I'm doing. If you let me know. One way or another. I'll make you very happy. If you don't. I'll stop doing anything and just keep talking, which is probably not what you want me to do, so I’d suggest–”

"Um, faster please."

"Good girl."

Guided by Twilight's comments, Moondancer quickly got to work, licking around Twilight's shaved pussy. She then began teasing the lips apart with her tongue and slurping up the fluids that built up around them. By the time Moondancer's tongue was penetrating the folds and feeling for a little bundle of nerves that were proving to be a little elusive, Twilight had mostly descended to sub-verbal guidance of moans and sighs. When her tongue found what it was feeling for, Twilight shouted "Don't stop!"

This didn’t have the desired effect on Moondancer, as she took it to be an instruction to pull back. Twilight whimpered in frustration. Moondancer very quickly inserted the dildo where her mouth had been, and simultaneously used her aura to slip the small, inert, vibrator in another hole. Twilight bucked her hips, hard.

“Sorry, but it’s more fun this way.”

Moondancer took firm hold of the dildo and started pumping it in and out of Twilight in a steady rhythm, slowly increasing the pace based on the sounds that Twilight was making. Already close to the brink, Twilight didn’t last long and a great orgasm soon took her, her shout of joy loud in the empty orchard.

The dildo was forced out of Twilight by the clenching of her muscles, but Twilight wasn’t prepared for Moondancer’s little trick. The ripple of magic that came from Twilight was easily powerful enough to trigger the vibrator to start again, its incessant vibrations sending another wave of pleasure through her unprepared body. Another shout, and then another, and more, before Moondancer took pity on the convulsing woman, and teleported the vibrator away.

Twilight was slumped, the ropes seeming to support all her weight, so Moondancer held her tenderly while releasing her. It took a while for Twilight to recover her breath.

Eventually, Twilight looked up into Moondancer's eyes, "Wow. That was incredible. Amazing. Thank you."

"Heh. You're welcome. I had fun too. Let me know when you’re ready and we’ll take a look around the rest of the castle."

“What?! Moondancer, I’m exhausted. Today has been a really full day, and that’s just the bits I remember. Help me to the tent, we can do the rest of the castle tomorrow.”

"We're both exhausted, sweetie. Which is why I bought these," Moondancer levitated out of her pack a couple of small, bright blue, bottles. She took one for herself while Twilight looked at hers doubtfully.

"Uh, aren't these things dangerous?" asked Twilight, eyeing the energy drink.

Moondancer sighed, "Yes, if you take half a dozen of them at once. Or if you keep taking them, then yes, they are dangerous. If you just take one, so that you make the most of one-time opportunities, and then catch up on your sleep later, and don't touch them again for a month, they're fine. We will be here for a couple of days, and then that will be it. How much of those two days do you want to spend sleeping, and how much exploring the mysterious ancient castle and working through your naughty little list?"

Twilight popped the lid of the bottle and downed the contents in a couple of gulps. She suddenly felt more alert and energetic.

"Atta girl. Lets get our clothes back on, and then we can get going."

“Sure. One thing we need to do first, though. Where’s my checklist?”

Twilight started looking through Moondancer’s pack before Moondancer snatched it away and dug out the checklist. Twilight eagerly grabbed it and started ticking.

“Eee! Bondage (rope)! Check! Oral stimulation! (Properly, this time). Check! Denial! Check! Sex toy (dildo)! Check! Sex toy (vibrator)! Check! Wow, we did a lot for one session!”

“Easy there, Twilight. I’ve read that list and I’m pretty sure that ‘Orgasm (Checklist)’ isn’t on there anywhere.”

Twilight stuck her tongue out at Moondancer.
