Her daughter

Chapters

1

After the events that transpired in the Crystal Empire, Twilight Sparkle was back home in her library home. By the time they had gotten back it was night outside and she was preparing for bed.

Spike was already fast asleep in his basket and Twilight was sitting at her vanity brushing her mane. When she felt satisfied with it Twilight trotted over to her bed and slipped under the covers closing her eyes as a dream-filled sleep greeted her.

Twilight was met with a scene from what seemed like the old castle of the pony sisters along the walls hung tapestries of Celestia and Luna. Twilight walked along the abandoned halls until she came across a room that had a table with several chairs around it and a fireplace to the left side of it. This must be the library.

On top of the table several candelabra were placed at equal distance along it. Along the walls of the room were bookcases taller than any she had seen before. A silhouette of a pony sat at the far end of the table reading a book.

As Twilight stood in the doorway a little filly barged past her and towards the silhouetted pony. The little filly had a lavender coat a pair of wing and a horn her mane her tail were a dark purple easily confused with black, the filly’s mane and tail also sported two highlights one fuchsia and one purple.

Is that me? Twilight thought to herself as she continued to watch the scene. The silhouetted pony flinched in surprise and went to pick up the little filly its horn and wings now visible to Twilight. The latter because they had flared outwards in surprise. The little filly giggled as she snuggled up with the silhouetted pony.

“Sleep tight my child,

Let night embrace you as sleep takes hold,

Fear not my child forget your troubles and drift away

Fear not my child your mothers here to stay

I’ll protect you while you lay

Each and every day, sleep till dawn wakes you again my child

My Twilight I’ll see you again.

I love you my little filly never forget Twi-”

The scene faded in front of Twilight as she awoke. Bright light filtered into Twilights room as her eyes slowly began to open. She blinked away her blurry vision as she sat up.

What a weird dream.

*******

Yesterday, just before sunset at Canterlot Castle, Princess Luna stood on her balcony thinking. She was concentrating so hard she didn’t hear her sister Princess Celestia slink up behind her crouched low.

Celestia grabbed Luna from behind “Gotcha!”

Princess Luna for her part screamed in shock. Turning round to see that Celestia was wearing a huge grin. “Tia! Must you always do that!?” Luna stomped her hoof.

“Hehehe sorry Lulu, you make it so easy. So what are you brooding at now?”

“Brooding!? Since when do I brood?” Luna blushed in embarrassment as she denied Princess Celestia’s accusation.

“You have been doing it regularly, ever since you returned. Do tell me what’s bothering you? Is it because you have yet to find a new marefriend?”

Princess Luna’s jaw dropped “Tia!”

“Oh well if it isn’t that, then what’s bugging you?” Celestia said as she laid her right hoof on Luna’s withers.

“It’s Twilight Sparkle—” Luna replied

“Well sitting here brooding is not going to accomplish what you want.”

“Tia, Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.”

“Doesn’t make it any less true Lulu. Why don’t you just tell her? You were supposed to tell her after you were freed anyway. It’s what we decided together before we even started this.” Celestia said smiling warmly at Luna.

“But what if she hates me Tia!?” Luna said as she moved back from under Celestia’s hoof.

“Well you’ll never know until you actually tell her.” Luna snorted at Celestia’s suggestion.

“What makes you think I can just go up to Twilight and say, ‘Hey Twilight you’re adopted and I am your real mother. Because that’ll go so well won't it, ‘Tia?”

Celestia rolled her eyes “Luna what makes you think it won’t go well? Do you really distrust her that much?”

Luna winced at the implication of Celestia’s rebuttal. “I just don’t want to scare her away Tia.”

“What happens when that memory spell finally wears off and she finds out for herself?” Celestia shook her head “No more lies, omitted or otherwise. It’s hard enough lying to my niece as it is, tell her quickly or not at all, either way she’ll know. Better that it’s from your mouth than from her memory. I’ll go ward my room, so she can’t run, bring her there if you choose to tell her.”

“Sleep tight my child,

Let night embrace you as sleep takes hold,

Fear not my child forget your troubles and drift away

Fear not my child your mothers here to stay

I’ll protect you while you lay

Each and every day, sleep till dawn wakes you again my child

My Twilight I’ll see you again.”

Luna sang softly before she collapsed on the marble floor and began to weep.

*******

In Golden Oaks Library, Spike read aloud a scroll that had just come in that morning as he and Twilight were eating breakfast.

“Dear Twilight Sparkle,

I require that you meet me at the castle in Canterlot. For I have something that I must discuss with you, all that is required is yourself and Spike.

Yours faithfully,

Princess Luna”

“Well you heard her Spike, let’s go.” Twilight said as she stood up and picked up Spike levitating him in her magic and placing him on her back. As she levitated their plates and cutlery into the kitchen sink.

“Twilight what do you think Princess Luna wants to talk about.”

“Oh Spike I’m sure the princess just wants some advice.”

Twilight trotted through the door and twisted the sign from open to close and locked the door. She then began her journey to Canterlot.

*******

The ride to Canterlot was uneventful as the train pulled into Canterlot station the pair where met with several guards and a chariot.

“Miss Sparkle, Spike?” Twilight and Spike nodded “Come with me, Princess Luna is waiting.” Twilight and Spike follow the guard and get on the chariot which pulled away as soon as they were on.

The ride to the castle was completed swiftly and had been rather pleasant when they landed the accompanying guard said “Princess Luna is waiting in Princess Celestia’s room.”

“Thank you good sir!” Twilight replied cheerfully. Making her way to Celestia’s bedroom, Twilight was greeted with the morning rush of servants as they went about their daily business. Twilight dodged and weaved amongst the servants with practiced ease as she went, stopping only once when three servants blocked the way as they carried heavy loads of laundry. Finally reaching Princess Celestia’s room, she knocked on the door.

“Come in!” The voice of Princess Celestia called.

Pushing open the large ornate doors. She was greeted with a smiling Princess Celestia who grabbed Twilight and Spike and began hugging them in a bone crushing hug.

“Princess can’t breathe.” Twilight squeaked out flailed about her face turning even more purple than she normally is as she was trying to escape.

Princess Celestia let them go as they both started sucking in air to fill their lungs.

Princess Celestia shut her bedroom doors locking them and making sure the ward was in place No pony is leaving this room till this is sorted out.

Twilight looked around and spotted Princess Luna off to the side smirking which died when she saw Twilight looking at her.

“Princess Luna, what is it that you needed to speak to me about?” Twilight asked.

“Tell me Twilight how have you been?” Princess Luna inquired.

Twilight fidgeted as Princess Luna watched her. “Oh I have been fine Princess! How have you been?”

Slightly taken aback she answered “Truth be told I have been a little troubled as of late.”

Meanwhile Celestia was digging through her desk, eventually pulling out three shot glasses and a bottle of black label Sweet Apple Acres cider which she had reserved. She poured three shots and then levitated one to Luna and one to Twilight who eyed the alcoholic beverage.

“What’s troubling you, Princess Luna?” Twilight asked causing Luna to wince.

“Twilight, you are what’s troubling me.”

Twilight flinched backwards as if she’d been slapped. “What did me-” Luna cut twilight off.

“Know that it isn’t anything you have done.” Luna her voice cracking and squeaking as she fidgeted “Twilight I am your mother.” she managed to force out as she turned away from Twilight.

Twilight sat there slack jawed and then began to laugh. “Good one princess! You almost had me there.”

Luna trotted forward towards Twilight. “Twilight I am being serious, I am your mother.”

“But, but how!? If you’re my mother, then who are the ponies who raised me?”

Celestia threw back her shot of cider “I can explain that. After Luna was banished, we found you in her old tower. Before that I did not know that Luna had a foal. After you were discovered, in order to protect you. I temporarily removed your wings, Pegasi magic and earth pony magic. Then I placed you in stasis. You see at the time ponies were destroying anything that was connected to my sister that would have included you my niece and so I hid you away safe from harm. 980 years later I released you from stasis and had my best guards at the time your adoptive mother and father, Twilight Velvet and Night Light. Who had recently had foal of their own that was technically older than you. And they raised you as their own.”

“Wait! Does that mean I’m really related to Blueblood!?” Twilight eyes flew open wide as dinner plates. Then Twilight did the only thing she could think of and threw back her shot and motioned for Celestia to refill it.

Celestia giggled. “He isn’t related to you Twilight.”

Twilight relaxed. “Thank Celestia!”

Celestia looked at Twilight amused “You’re welcome my Twilight, but I did not do anything.”

Twilight blushed as she Celestia teased her.

With a knowing smirk Celestia continued. “Cadence however is your older sister.”

Oh geez now those dreams I had about Cadence are even more awkward. “Wait what!? Cadence is my sister?! Wait why wasn’t she put in stasis?” Twilight looked up at Celestia and then to Luna.

“Yes Twilight she is, and to answer your other question, she was already grown up enough that she could take care of herself if needed, you however were not.”

“Is that why she foal sat me? I always found it odd that I was foal sat by royalty. Hang on, is that why you took me on as your student?”

“I must admit Twilight I was shocked to see you again so soon, and no that is not the reason. I chose you because you had the potential, the talent and I may have also used it as an excuse to bond with you, my niece.”

Twilight’s mind was swimming all these revelations hitting her like a proverbial brick wall. She threw back her drink again as she sat on her haunches, “Moth- Luna, why didn’t you tell me sooner?”

Luna looked down at the floor pawing the ground glass empty in her magic “I was scared, scared of how you would react to find out I was your mother. I just didn’t want you to hate me so I was content to watch over you from afar at least I was until recently. I know I do not deserve your forgiveness my daughter but I will do anything I can to make it up to you.”

Twilight watched Luna should I forgive her? I mean it’s not as if it’s her fault the nightmare spirit had possessed her, then yes I can forgive her though not entirely just yet she still took her time in telling me. Twilight slowly moved towards Luna as I got near lifted my forelegs. She flinched as Twilight wrapped her hooves around her neck pulling her in for a hug. “Tell me my real name?”

Luna looked up a quizzical look on her face “Twilight Aurora Sparkle as it always has been and I will never leave you alone again,” Luna said as she wrapped her hooves around Twilight.

“Oh! Before I forget or am too drunk to remember.” Celestia levitated a torc and placed it around Twilight’s neck. “That is where I stored your magic and your wings. Keep it on at all times and eventually your powers shall return.”

“Ahem I’m sorry to break up the mushy stuff, but was there a point to me being here” Spike asked as he pouted.

“Yes, of course Spike, you were to be an emotional support for Twilight, if it became apparent that Twilight was unable to accept this rather large revelation. However, it seems that was not necessary,” Celestia said a hint of amusement in her voice. “It seems we Overestimated Twilight’s reaction to Luna’s revelation.” A smile danced across Celestia’s lips as she thought of something. “Spike do me a favor and tell the kitchen staff to bring a large cake to my room. Tell them it’s Cakecon 1.” Spike saluted and ran out of the room as fast as his little legs could take him.

Soon Spike returned with an entourage of servants and loads of cake in his wake.

Celestia licked her lips and Luna face hoofed at her.

”Tia, you know you’re on a diet.”

Celestia faux gasped dramatically “Sister my diet can suffer for this is a most wonderful event to finally be a full family again, such a thing warrants cake!”

Twilight cautiously ventured “It’s no use mother” Twilight said hesitating on the mother part. “Once aunty-” Twilight winced at her awkwardness “gets any excuse to eat cake there is no stopping her.”

Luna put a hoof on Twilight’s withers “its okay Twilight, if you're uncomfortable calling me Mother, or Tia Aunty. We do not expect you to do so right away, we can wait as long as you need.” Luna paused for a bit “However Cadence might not be so patient.” A hint of amusement in her voice. “And when you are ready we shall announce to all of Equestria as your return to your rightful place.”

Twilight gulped.

“Twilight I just said when you’re ready, so do not worry.”

Twilight jumped in realisation “What about my friends! Will I have to leave them?”

“No you do not have to leave your friends. There will be distance but that does not mean you cannot visit them, I will not take your friends from you Twilight.” Luna assured Twilight as she pulled her into another hug. Whispering in her ear “But you will have to tell them about what you have learned, you might want to put a geas or a pinkie promise on the element of generosity. To make sure she doesn’t gossip.”

Twilight looked up at Luna shocked at the suggestion “A geas but that’s illegal!”

Luna booped Twilight on the nose.

“I know. I was joking about the geas, though the Pinkie promise is about as effective. If your friendship reports are anything to go by.”

“Wait you read my friendship reports?”

Luna nodded. “They helped me with my separation from you. They let me know you were safe and happy.” Luna smiled wistfully.

What do I do? Does this mean I’m going to be a princess? I don’t know if I can really trust them anymore? Sure they did it with the best of intentions but this is just too much! How do I react? Another part of her mind rebelled against her. ‘Why not just ask them questions? Why not talk to your mother?’

“Mother?” augh! That is going to take some getting used to. “Will you tell me everything or anything I want to know? This whole situation is confusing, I want to know that I can trust you so-” Twilight sentence died in her voice as she saw the hurt look in their eyes.

“Twilight, my little filly” Luna started.

“Hey! I’m not little anymore!” Twilight pouted as a brief smile played across Luna’s lips

“You will always be my little filly, Twilight no matter how old you are.”

“I will tell you anything you wish to know. And so we can continue without your distrust, we shall perform a geas on ourselves right sister?” Luna looked at Celestia for confirmation.

Celestia nodded “We shall, do not abuse it Twilight.”

Celestia and Luna horns lit and glowed with their respective colors of golden yellow and sapphire blue.

“We the royal sisters, Twilight Sparkle’s family do so bind ourselves to tell her nothing but the truth and only the truth, should she ask us anything. In order to protect Equestria from harmful knowledge, this geas will not allow us to speak in front of any other pony and only in private and we must tell her when we can and why this is the case.”

A swirl of magic quickly wove itself around their bodies and in a flash disappeared.

“Now Twilight test the geas!” Luna ordered.

A grin formed on Twilight’s face “How much do you both weigh”

Celestia and Luna blushed, but complied.

“I am 640 Kg” Celestia answered grumbling.

“300 Kg” Luna announced still blushing, but with a hint of pride in her voice, much to Celestia’s chagrin. Who was now glaring at Luna.

“What are you glaring at? If you laid off the cake you’d be less overweight.” Luna said as she poked Celestia’s belly.

“Lay off the cake? Never! It’s not fair you even lost all that baby weight. And I already lay of sex you’re not taking cake too!” Celestia covered her mouth as that last part exited her mouth, turning away from Luna to see a heavily blushing Twilight as she tried to break the laws of physics and melt into a puddle from embarrassment.

A smirk formed on Luna’s face “If you hadn’t laid off on the sex. You might not be so fat.” sticking her tongue out and blowing a raspberry at Celestia.

Celestia gasped point an accusatory hoof at Luna “I have a virginal goddess image to maintain and ponies would not understand or even condone!”

“Pfft sister that they condone it does not matter! Now that I am back, I shall take many a lover to my bed and they shall squeal in delight as their princess brings them into full mare hood shouting my name to the rafters!” Luna said a smug grin plastered on her face.

A gurgling sound erupted from Twilight’s direction, she hadn’t managed to liquidate herself yet but she was making significant progress melting through the floor underneath her.

After that revelation and several shots more cider Twilight, Celestia and Luna spent the rest of the night talking and learning about her future and her new old family.

Down the corridor which led to Celestia’s room, a maid was hurriedly doing her rounds as she passed the door leading to Celestia’s room. The maid froze as her ear twitched, she leaned against the door and heard a loud moan emanating from the room, blushing, and the mare bolted down the corridor pointedly trying to ignore the noises that continued to seep through the door.

******

It was dark in Celestia’s bedroom as the clock on the wall chimed 10 PM. the room was full of muted gold and whites paint lining the walls a simple deep crimson rug lining the floor and instead of just its usual occupant, another was there with her.

Heated moans filled the room, “Tia! —Stop teasing me!”

Celestia giggled as she watched the mare below her squirm under the ministrations her tongue was applying to her horn.

“Oh Lulu you’re so cute when you squirm.” Celestia's lips pulled farther back as her cheeks swelled, as the Day bringer’s smugly smiled, as she languidly swirled her tongue around the whorls of her sister's horn. The moan from her sister pleased her, her sister in deep in the pools of pleasure, but never reaching her climax, as her experienced older sister continued to tease her, enjoying her own arousal from her sadistic domination. Her hoof lightly traced through the soft underfur of her sister's belly, causing her sister's skin to get goose bumps, and her hair to stand on end. Her feathery gentle touch was firm enough that her nerves registered the touch, but light enough to make her doubt that the touch really happened. She traced her silky frog around her sister's engorged clit, and giggled softly as her sister's leg twitched as her sister writhed underneath her ministrations. Celestia's two pronged assault was overwhelming Luna's senses, yet she continued to expertly deprive her sister, Luna, from reaching her climax, her lips pursed around Luna's horn, as she grinned in merriment and mirth at the state she had her younger sister in.

A wicked grin formed on Celestia’s face as she charged her horn forming around a dildo that laid to the side of the bed lube drizzled on it sliding the long shaft inside her sisters flankhole. From Celestia’s sheath a large dick gradually slid out, fuelled by her arousal, growing longer, it’s pink and white mottled length reaching 2 ft. While Luna was distracted, Celestia positioned herself over her sister. The tip of her penis, prodding at the entrance to Luna’s love tunnel as it pressed against her sex it spread Luna’s labia. Luna’s eyes opened half lidded and still panting, confusion coloring her face as she watched Celestia. Celestia used her hoof to spread Luna open even further.

“I hope you’re ready dear Sister.” Celestia purred as she shifted her hips back laying her hooves on Luna’s flanks and then with one mighty thrust she slammed and hilted inside Luna, the speed and lack of time to comprehend what happened causing Luna to arch her back as the sudden pulse of pleasure radiating out dazed her.

“Oh~ Celestia— don’t stop!” Luna begged as Celestia leant down and planted a kiss on Luna’s lips, her tongue invading Luna’s mouth. Celestia’s tongue was overpowering Luna’s own tongue and its weak attempts at fighting back against her sister’s. Luna’s tongue began caressing, licking and curling around the intruder in her mouth.

Celestia pulled back from the kiss as she pulled back a trail of saliva connecting their tongues hung between them before breaking under its weight. Pulling back her hips Celestia pulled her cock out only leaving the head of it inside, before thrusting back in repeating the motion as she got into a rhythm. The walls of Luna’s pussy clenching around Celestia’s cock sending electric pulses up her spine. Celestia let out a throaty groan as the warm, wet and slick tunnel welcomed Celestia’s cock, tightening trying to hold her inside. Luna’s flank muscles tensed under Celestia’s hooves as she rapidly thrust into her sister. Celestia was on the edge as pleasure filled her body.

“Tia— I’m almost there— faster!” Celestia smiled down at Luna as she redoubled her efforts, her horn glowed as her golden magic enveloped Luna’s still wet and sensitive horn, sliding her magic up and down its spiralled length as Celestia thrust harder into Luna’s sex.

Celestia leant forward and whispered into Luna’s ear “Cum for me sister.” for Luna that was all she needed to be sent over the edge, she screamed out in pleasure. Her horn let loose a burst of magic as her sex clenched tightly around Celestia’s cock. Celestia joining her to after one final hard thrust hilting herself deep inside of Luna, the tip of her cock breaking through her sister’s cervix as her cock head flared, as it spasmed it pumped load after load of Celestia’s seed deep inside her sister’s womb filling it with gallons of it.

Celestia collapsed on top of Luna her breathing heavy with exhaustion; she pulled her cock out as it went flaccid slowly withdrawing into her sheath. Cum leaked out of Luna’s pussy because of the sheer volume of it. Celestia leant down and licking cum off her as she cleaned Luna off she giggled when Luna shivered from the contact of her tongue in the afterglow of her orgasm.

As they lay there in the afterglow of their fun Celestia wrapped Luna in her arms and wings. “Good night Lulu.”

“Goodnight Tia!” Luna replied as she pulled the covers over them.

******

Luna felt the familiar tug in the back of her mind. That told her it was time to lower the moon and stars to make way for the day. She slowly opened her eyes. Currently all they saw was the mass of white feathers that was Celestia’s wing. Groaning she extricated herself from Celestia’s grip as Celestia began to stir from her blissful sleep as well. Making her way to Celestia’s balcony to lower the moon she hadn’t noticed that Celestia was fully awake now, slinking sneakily behind her as Luna lower the moon and stars Celestia swiped her tongue across Luna’s sex, causing her to lose focus and put too much power into her magic in surprise as a star fell from the heavens.

“Tia! Don’t do that when I am lowering the moon and stars! What if I lose one and kill somepony!?” Luna shrieked as she glared at her perverted sister.

******

Meanwhile on the train heading toward Canterlot at a speed that was bordering on reckless, Shining Armor was pacing around the train carriage as Cadence relaxed in the hot tub, watching.

“Come on Shiny! Pacing isn’t going to get us there quicker, so get in with me,” Cadence said as she smiled reassuringly, stopping to look at Cadence.

“I just can’t Cady; Twilight can end Canterlot with ease. If we’re not careful and now that I know she’s basically an alicorn. I just can’t stop worrying.” Shining sighed as he began walking away from the hot tub only to stop, his ears twitching his face full of concern as he looked all around. “What’s that whistling noise?”

******

“Oh lighten up Lulu.” Celestia laughed “There is no—” Celestia was interrupted by the star colliding with the earth kicking up dirt, train parts and rail road in a large mushroom cloud. The earth continued to shake as the results of the impact spread over Equestria, Celestia’s jaw fell. Luna looked at her with an eyebrow raised, a deadpan look on her face that said ‘I told you so.’

“Now if you’re done horsing around, I need to go wake Twilight, her sword should be repaired now. You caused that star to fall, you fix it. “Luna said putting on her crown and regalia. Luna left Celestia’s room, leaving a dumbstruck Celestia to mull over her tempting of fate.

“By my beard I am going to be stuck with so much paperwork.” Celestia groaned as she retrieved her regalia and crown.

******

“Now my dear Twilight, I have a special surprise for you. Normally you’d have received it after your coming of age; however my absence and the turmoil of the time have barred you from receiving it. Follow me; I believe the smith has finished any repairs needed.” Luna led Twilight through the castle passing guards, passing servants, the former saluting or bowing while the latter just smiled and bowed. As Luna and Twilight drew near their destination their ears twitched picking up the sound of hammer meeting steel.

As they rounded the last corner a large pit forge and smelter came into view. Next to the forge pit sat an aged earth pony stallion. Twilight was about to ask something but Luna cut her off “Iron Hooves, how are the repairs coming.”

The stallion Iron Hooves froze and stopped his swing as he heard them coming bringing his head up he turned to look at Luna before belting out a hearty laugh “Princess Luna, I am glad you came! I just finished not long ago. I must say it has been an honour to restore one of Masamuneigh’s finest works!” He said as he retrieved the sword in question. He brought it up to Luna.

“Oh no, the sword is not mine. It is for my daughter” Luna said smiling as she gestured towards Twilight.

“Is this for me!? You’re giving me a sword forged by the legendary sword smith Masamuneigh!?”

“Silly filly, I am giving you a sword forged by Masamuneigh, who forged it for you. It’s called the Hoshi-kiri, Stella Sectis or in Equestrian: Star Cutter.”

Twilight began hopping around Princess Luna saying “Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” as Luna watched her with an amused smile.

“Thank you for the sword mom!” Twilight said as she proceeded to hug her mother in a fashion more like a tackle than a hug. Luna caught Twilight in her arms and started giggling at her enthusiasm. After Twilight calmed down she turned to Iron Hooves who also had a grin on his face.

Twilight looked at the sword and scabbard, the scabbard was lacquered in amethyst colored lacquer, it was a hoof wide, half a hoof thick and seven hooves long. At the end of the scabbard and at the part where the hoof guard meets scabbard was gold and engraved with my cutiemark. The hoof or magic grip was wrapped in scarlet and the hilt was gold as well again featuring her cutiemark.

Iron Hooves laid out the sword across his fore hooves on hilt and foot and getting down on his knees. This is a Neighponese sword so I must follow Neighponese etiquette. So Twilight grasps the sword hooves down in the center of the scabbard.

“Oh ho, somepony knows their sword etiquette,” Iron Hooves said to a now blushing Twilight.

“Don’t tell anypony this but I had quite the collection of Neighponese swords at home, I just couldn’t bring it with me to Ponyville. I believe Celestia dedicated an entire room to their display.” Twilight said as Luna smiled at her.

“They even gave it a name ‘The hall of swords.’ It’s been made a wonder of the world” Twilight said scratching the back of her head with a sheepish grin.

Twilight pulled the sword out of its scabbard. As it slid out it revealed two large Red diamonds one larger closer to the guard the other smaller after it, cut in the shape of her cutie mark, along the center of the blade. These gems embedded into the blade being the rarest makes them the most expensive, but also the strongest magical storage and conductors. the back of the blade just after the guard had gaps and fins like that of a shark, the cutting edge was straight curving at the edge of the tip and leading into a sweeping curve back from the tip into another point which curved back towards the guard which lead into another fin like serration. As soon as Twilight’s magic enveloped the grip she felt her magic pouring into it soon magic seeped along channels in the blade lighting up engraved runes and other enchantments.

“Whoa— I am feeling a bit, light headed!” Twilight said, to which Luna just chuckled.

“The first few times you use a magic blade always makes you a little light headed as the blade draws on your magic reserves. The enchantments and runes were my doing, however I won’t tell you here in what is essentially public what they do. Now you have your sword. We can now start training you in its use. However that will have to wait till we return from Ponyville.” Luna stated as she watched Twilight look at the sword with no small amount of awe. She is so adorable!

“I have some training in sword fighting already, my brother being in the royal guard, I got to spar with him and eventually I got a formal trainer after the Canterlot wedding debacle. Though I already know how to sword fight I would love to learn your school of sword fighting as well, Mom!” Twilight replied cheerfully.

Luna smiled at Twilight’s enthusiasm “Maybe when we get back from Ponyville.” before turning to address Iron Hooves “Thank you for your time and effort Iron Hooves.” Luna laid on the floor “Come Twilight let me put your scabbard belt on you.” Luna took the sword from Twilight’s grasp and fastened it around her barrel. “There all done, now climb on my back Twilight. I shall give you a piggyback ride and carry you to our next destination.”

Hesitantly Twilight wrapped her forehooves around Luna’s neck and her rear legs on Luna’s back. Without warning Luna rose quickly and bolted through the nearest open window opposite the forge. Twilight holding on for dear life as Luna dove down between the towers, over parapets and turrets “Mom!” Twilight yelled as she held on for dear life. Luna angled her way towards the chariot shed, where glimpses of activity could be seen from soldiers training to playing cards.

As Luna landed on the ground inside of the Chariot garage where all the royal chariots are kept, Luna stood rose up with a shivering Twilight on her back “Mom! Don’t do that again! You nearly gave me a heart attack!” Twilight whined.

Luna smirked and replied “Have you no faith in your Mother Twilight?” gasping in mock offense. Twilight just pouted at her.

“Fine, I won’t do it again.” Luna nuzzled Twilight reassuringly.

“I didn’t know it was ‘bring your daughter to work’ day your Highness. I would have brought my kid along too!” said a white Pegasus stallion with blue and electric blue highlighted short mane and tail with a smirk.

“Captain Silver Strike, how have you been?” Luna asked him.

“I have been as well as can be your highness. However the mess left behind in the wake of Captain Shining armor’s departure for the crystal empire has put a strain on me unintentionally. Twilight glared at Silver Strike.

“It’s not Like Shining had much of a choice!” Twilight exclaimed, a bit of the royal Canterlot voice filtering through at the end. A tear fell down Luna’s cheek as she sniffed with pride causing Silver strike back up in fear.

“Your first use of the Royal Canterlot Voice, I am so proud of you Twilight!” Luna grabbed Twilight off her back and gave her a big squeeze.

“Mom!~ Not in front of the guard!” Twilight whined. This caused the guards to chuckle at her embarrassment.

“So what can we do for you? I am sure you didn’t come here to just embarrass your daughter.” Silver Strike said still chuckling now over his brief fear.

“It is a mother’s duty to embarrass her foals! But yes what you say is true. We, that is me and Twilight not we as in the royal we, are going on a trip to Ponyville to gather her belongings from her old home and to see her friends. So gather your finest stallions and then bring the large chariot with the large luggage rack and the extras.” Luna looked to Twilight “It has been a couple of days since you were called to the castle. So we shall use this time to share the great news with your friends!”

Silver Strike nodded and started ordering his men to prepare the extra-large chariot and hitch up. 10 Pegasi were eventually hitched up and waiting on the landing pad. Twilight and Luna climbed aboard. They felt the enchantments lock them to the floor so they didn’t fall. Then the Pegasi that was pulling them lifted off and began to fly forward.

“Okay, this will take a while Twilight. Get comfortable.” Luna said as she tapped the floor two times with her forehoof. A roof extended over them as the seats rose up higher up. A crystal screen flipped down flanked by Ponysonic speakers. A games console then rose out of the floor leaning forward Luna levitated a controller to Twilight and took one for Luna herself. The screen glowed and on the screen Mareval vs. Coltcom 3 Ultimate Edition showed briefly on the screen. “Prepare yourself my daughter, for a thrashing!” Luna said with a smirk.

“You wish Mom! I’m gonna kick your flank!” Twilight grinned back.

A few hours later

“5 wins to 10 losses how is that possible!? This game is rigged.” Twilight complained pouting as Luna wrapped a wing around her, giving her a hug.

“It is not rigged, you just lack practice. You should see your Auntie Tia! She can’t even make it passed 3 wins.” Luna reassured though it didn’t help Twilight feel better. Luna looked out the side. “Hey Twilight it looks like we’re almost there.” At this Twilight’s face lit up in excitement, which Luna couldn’t help but giggle at Twilight’s excitement.

******

As their chariot reached Ponyville, they could make out the rest of the Elements of Harmony (or as they have affectionately been known as the Mane 6) were standing waiting outside the library, having received the letter informing them of Twilight’s and Princess Luna’s arrival and the need to talk to them. When they finally touched down Twilight and Princess Luna hopped off the chariot, Luna wrapped her left wing over Twilights withers and back, pulling her close. “Mom!~ Why do you have to embarrass me in front of my friends first it was the guards now them!?” Twilight whined pouting at Luna

“That’s a mother prerogative, my daughter I keep telling you that. Also can’t a mother be proud of her daughter?” A small smirk started playing across Luna’s mouth.

There were loud gasps as they turned to the Mane 6. Twilight saw that their jaws had all dropped and their pupils were shrunk to pinpricks. Applejack was the first to speak up, “Sugar cube, did ya’ jus’ call Princess Luna—” Applejack gulped “Mom?”

“Umm, about that Applejack can we not talk about it outside?” Twilight asked as she walked into Ponyville library with Luna by her side. The chariot guards began unloading any luggage and placing it inside the library. Before flying off back to the castle, Luna stopped them and told them to report to the local garrison and to leave the chariot near the library. Before returning back into the library she tossed them a bag of bits “Go and be merry, we’ll be here a week and I am sure you’d like to visit the local tavern. That should prove adequate, If not report to me at once.”

“Mom, Can you help my friends get comfortable while I make some tea?” Twilight asked as she went into the kitchen.

“Sure I can.” Luna replied as she went about setting out five pillows by the fireplace next to the two high backed chairs, bending down her head to aim her horn at the fireplace, she used a flame spell to set the logs alight. Happy with her preparations she sat in the chair closest to the fireplace. “Come on everypony! Don’t be shy! Come and sit,” Luna called indicating the pillows with her hoof. They slowly trotted over to the pillows each nervously sitting before Luna. As soon as they were sat down Twilight reappeared with 8 cups of tea, milk and a teapot. She placed the tray on the coffee table that was in between Luna and the girls. She then sat down using her magic to prepare all the tea and move them to herself, her friends and her mother Luna.

Twilight took a sip of her own before she started explaining. “Well Applejack to answer your question, Luna is my mother. I was born over a thousand years ago sired by Clover the Clever and birthed by Luna. I was only a little filly when mom was possessed by Nightmare Moon. To protect me from hostile ponies I was placed in stasis, 23 years ago I was given to a foster family in hopes I could live a normal life until mother came back. Eventually I came into contact with my foal sitter Cadance, who is actually my older sister.

This torc around my neck held my sealed powers and alicornhood” Twilight explained pointing to her torc.

“Oh darling, I had no Idea you were royalty! I simply must design your royal dresses!” Rarity beamed.

“Neither did I till couple of days ago,” Twilight said wryly.

“Hey that means I can teach you to fly!” Rainbow Dash exclaimed, Luna held up a hoof to forestall Rainbow Dash’s exuberance.

“I am sorry Rainbow Dash, but I will be the one to teach her how to fly. This is important to me. However you may assist.” Luna stated calmly as Rainbow Dash’s exuberance deflated.

“Sorry Dash, but I agree with Mom. It’s one of the few bonding exercises we can do. But at least you get to help.” Twilight offered as she tried to reassure Rainbow Dash, causing her to perk up a bit.

“I suppose.” Rainbow Dash muttered.

“Oh my, that’s so wonderful, that you’re both a family again.” Fluttershy exclaimed quietly.

“Oh, Oh let’s have a party! I better go start planning it!” Before anypony could stop or question her Pinkie pie dashed out of the library.

“I am glad you’re back again darling, but I must agree with Pinkie Pie, I must get ready start designing your ensemble, ta ta, darling!” Rarity gracefully trotted out of the library, a stark contrast to the previous entrance.

“Well, I better get back to those orchards, those apples don’t buck themselves.” Applejack left as well just in time as Luna started snickering before outright laughing.

“Bucking apples! I did not think the Apple Family did such things!” Luna exclaimed as she roared with laughter and was soon joined by Rainbow Dash and Twilight.

After they had calmed down, Rainbow had bid the two of them farewell as she had to get up early. Twilight cleaned up the tea cups. While she did that she called back to Luna. “Well that went well. Honestly I am surprised.”

Luna trotted up behind Twilight and hugged her “See I told you, they would accept this, though I do agree that was easier than I expected. Come on and let sit back down and do some reading.”

******

In Princess Celestia’s room, Celestia sat at her desk doing paper work for the Fubar’d train her little perverted joke had caused, currently she was waiting on a report of survivors, casualties and dead. A messenger arrived not minutes after and gave her said report. As she read the report she sighed. Cadence survived and is currently receiving treatment, Shining armor deceased Twilight’s gonna kill me. Half of the guard travelling with them are dead or injured the others were shaken up, but otherwise unscathed. Luckily that wasn’t a civilian train and it only held royals and guards. But that still means I have to send out condolences to the dead guard’s families. Celestia sighed pulling out a shot glass and her whisky and poured some into the glass.

“I guess I got a funeral to prepare. Can this day get any worse.” she muttered under her breath.

“Auntie!” called a foppish voice of a certain prince.

Celestia internally groaned That idiot prince is just what I need. If he brings up Twilight again I am going to strip him of his princehood.

“What is it nephew?” she asked through gritted teeth.

“Oh it’s nothing special. I just wanted to ask you about that commoner Tw—” He didn’t get to finish as he was lifted up by Celestia’s magic

“That is my niece and faithful student. Blueblood that’s the last straw, you are hereby stripped of your princehood, your nobility and disowned! All but 1000 bits of your money you had will be donated to the treasury and all your possessions are to be repossessed and properties you own will be defaulted to the crown. I am sure Twilight’s friends would like a place they can stay while in Canterlot. Now be gone!”Celestia shouted in the royal Canterlot voice. As he looked on in horror, Celestia then hurled him unceremoniously out of the window at great speed; he impacted the ground just outside the castle gates.

The two guards on gate duty watched in confusion as the prince’s air time came to an end leaving a crater in the grass. Soon green wisps were sent to every guard and newspaper spreading the news of Celestia’s decision. The unicorn guards present at the gate each grew predatory grins, finally Blueblood was a commoner. The two guards trotted towards the winded Blueblood one of them conjured a black sack and covered his head, everything went black for Blueblood as he was dragged about.

Time passed at an unknown rate but it had felt like hours and hours before some muffled talking was heard. Blueblood was totally blind the hessian sack barely enabled him to breath. What little he could feel told him he was bound to a bed of some sort. Soon he heard the trotting of ponies walking into the room, the doors closed after a few brief moments he hazarded an attempt at asking something “Hello, anypony theeeeiiii.” he screamed out as a hot prickly sensation washed over his body, he writhed in pain as he felt his body changing. His bones shift or changed under his skin, his vain attempts at escape providing no respite. Soon Blueblood felt a familiar weight between his hind legs disappear as something else replaced them, as a strange feeling just after his belly swelled. Before one huge wave of pain exploded in his stomach as organs moved and something new began its genesis.

Unable to take the pain Blueblood feinted as one of his or rather her meek constitution often is likely to do.

******

Blueblood awoke with a start, he surveyed his surroundings he was in a commoner’s house, and the room was simple. Some might have called it rustic but Blueblood wasn’t one of those ponies. She tried to call out “Hello?” Blueblood said before freezing. His manly voice had turned into a soft feminine and melodious voice, she looked down at herself. Her body was small, delicate and curvy passed her belly he noticed two nipples that had shifted on top of swollen milk filled mounds. Where his stallionhood had been was replaced with her new marehood. As she was distracted the door opened to her horror. A unicorn mare with a mint green coat, sea foam colored mane and tail. Her cutiemark was a lyre; her irises were a light hazelnut color. Her face bore a smirk as she looked over Blueblood.

“Welcome to the girls team Blueblood, I am Commander Lyra Heartstrings and I am here to get you acclimated to your new sex and it is our hope. That you learn from your mistakes and perhaps one day even enjoying your new life as a mare.” Lyra said still smirking at him.

“What!?” Blueblood exclaimed sitting up quickly, Lyra’s smirk widened.

“We felt that it was time you learnt what it’s like to be a mare. Oh also it’s permanent, and before you ask what the point is. If you can’t turn back, the point is you learning and feeling remorse, humility, empathy and compassion. Also if you want your title of Princess back you’re going to have to earn it. Oh and you might want to avoid Carousel boutique as it’s the home and business of one of your jilted suitors. The element of generosity, heh you might want to hope she doesn’t recognise you, when I take you to get some dresses made. A mare can’t be without any dresses, imagine the scandal!”

“Princess, surely you jest!?” Blueblood snorted derisively. “That wasn’t my title! I was a Prince!” Blueblood exclaimed in annoyance as Lyra snickered.

“Not with those genitals, you’re not.” she said pointing to Blueblood’s marehood. Prompting Blueblood to try and hide her new sex from Lyra. “Before I forget, your name was changed to fit your new sex.” Lyra said as she presented Blueblood her new birth certificate. “‘Sandy Orchid.’”

“You can’t do this to me! What gives you the right to do this!?” Sandy Demanded.

Lyra’s grin grew in size “Besides my title? Well Princess Celestia ordered this.”

Sandy Orchid fainted “Was it something I said?” Shrugging Lyra left Sandy’s room.

******

Meanwhile in Canterlot castle, Spike was running around trying to find Twilight. “I can’t believe she left me behind! I know Twilight’s life is chaotic at the moment, and I know I don’t exactly wake up early, but she could have left a note or something!” As Spike waddled along, the universe conspired to ruin his day. A door swung open sending him into a wall ricocheted off it into the door frame of Celestia’s room and into it just as Celestia stood up, her massive plot facing the door at the perfect or from Spike’s point of view very imperfect angle of trajectory.

“To Tartarus with this infernal paperwork I’d rather fight a whole horde of Hydra than continue this bureaucratic abomination!”

Oh shit!!! he thought as he became inordinately familiar with Celestia’s sex as he slid through her vaginal canal and had penetrated her cervix. A loud rumbling sounded through the walls of her womb as muscles contracted and relaxed repeatedly. Spike crawled up to a wall and laid against it. His pupils shrunk to pinpricks as the reality of his new location hit him hard. I am in Princess Celestia’s womb. soon after Spike felt something shift as gravity pulled him down, the womb was shaking with movement.

******

“To Tartarus with this infernal paperwork I’d rather fight a whole horde of Hydra than continue this bureaucratic abomination!” Celestia said as she stood a moment later she felt something large slip into her pussy and straight into her womb, the speed combined with the size made the wave of pleasure immediate as it rippled unexpectedly through her body. “I came!” she shouted as her head fell back, her eyes closed and sat on her haunches. A damp patch was left on the carpet. She could feel something inside her womb and it was moving around. Whatever it is I can feel it. Off to the infirmary. Maybe Rainbow Dash got stuck up there again. Celestia casually trotted off to the royal infirmary.

******

“Well this is just perfect, I am stuck inside Princess Celestia and I don’t know how long I will be.” Spike groused as he lay against the damp flesh wall of Celestia’s womb. “Oh well at least its warm. Perhaps I can send a letter to Princess Celestia.” Spike pulled out a parchment and ink from behind his back “Thank you hammer space.” He said as he began to write.

“Dear Princess Celestia,

I am currently stuck in your womb.

Sincerely

Twilight’s personal assistant, Spike the dragon.”

Carefully he let out a smallish jet of flame to send the letter on its way.

******

A wisp of green flame appeared in front of Celestia as it fell; she grabbed it with her magic.

“Dear Princess Celestia,

I am currently stuck in your womb.

Sincerely Twilight’s personal assistant, Spike the dragon.”

“Oh!?” Celestia said in realization, "So it’s Spike up there this time; I wonder what quirk of fate caused him to be currently housed inside my womb? Oh well at least I won’t have to pay for therapy bills again.” Celestia remarked.

******

Sometime later Celestia was now in the Castle infirmary.

“What’s the problem Doc.?” Celestia asked

“Well it seems you have a baby dragon inside your womb, your majesty. How the poor fellow got there. I don’t know, but looks like he isn’t coming out of there anytime soon. Unfortunately that means we must induce a pregnancy in you, the young dragon will have to go through an excruciating transformation luckily we can dull his pain for the duration of the 11 months you must carry him to term. We are uncertain of what will happen to his body, save that he will remember everything. To start we shall induce in him a full general anaesthetic and put him in a coma, that should last the 11 months. Then we’ll induce the pregnancy after which it should behave like a proper pregnancy.” Doc. said

“Let’s just get this over and done with. Perhaps I can tease Luna with this.”

******

After several gruelling hours of magical medical procedure Spike was safely connected to Celestia via umbilical cord and the induced pregnancy was a success 11 months from now a new/old pony would be joining the family. As Celestia lay on the infirmary bed a roundness protruding from her belly that was just fat from too many cakes. She rubbed her now distended belly with her right forehoof. finally taking in the view of the room she was in it was all very stark white blue privacy curtains provided what little they could, the steady beep beeping of the EKG monitor that was monitoring her heart rate. A single window that gave a view of the outside world, patients need a view of otherwise they can get frustrated from the lack of anything happening even if that view is of Canterlot.

An odd pattern of hoof steps echoed through the room as a shadow was cast on the curtain, light blue magic pulled the curtain to show Cadance with a worried look upon her face despite the roughed up and ragged look, not to mention limping. Cadance was covered in bandages from horn to tail obscuring her mane and most of her body. Cadance trotted up to Celestia wincing in pain as she came over to Celestia.

“Auntie what happened?” Cadance asked as Celestia looked down and twiddled her hooves in embarrassment. A blush slowly appeared coloring her face.

“I am pregnant Cadance.” before Celestia could finish she was assaulted with a hug by Cadance who was now emitting a squee akin to a fanfilly meeting their idol.

“Oh who’s the father?” Cadance asked still hugging Celestia

“There is no father or mother before you ask.” Celestia smirked

“Then how?” the worried expression returned to Cadance’s face. Celestia giggled at her.

“It’s a little unorthodox, but the universe conspired against me and Spike, and now Spike is inside my womb.” Celestia explained as Cadance’s face went red from embarrassment and flustered. To which Celestia’s grin grew wider with amusement.

“How did this happen?” Cadance asked still fighting the blush upon her face.

“Do you mean how did Spike get inside or do you mean how I am now pregnant?” Celestia was still grinning.

“Well both of course you’re not going to sit there and say you’re pregnant from parthenogenesis!?” Cadance exclaimed earning a chuckle from Celestia.

“Well the first one involves speed, doors and the perfect one in a billion chance of me being in the position I was the rest was conservation of momentum. The other well that is magic and the best damned doctors this side of Equus.”

Cadance looked to Celestia “May I?” Cadance asked Celestia shook her head in amusement

“Go ahead.” Celestia encouraged as she was smirking at Cadance as she laid her ear to Celestia’s swollen belly.

Cadance giggled.

“I can hear his heartbeat. Where’s Twilight? She would normally be here for this kind of thing.”

“Cadance your sister is with your mother down in Ponyville staying with friends and collecting her belongings.” Celestia smiled warmly

“Don’t worry she’ll be back by the week’s end. How are you holding up Cadance?”

“I’ll— I’ll— be fi—ne~.” Cadance broke down fresh tears falling down her cheeks. Celestia wrapped Cadance in a comforting hug, pulling her niece close.

“It’s okay we’re here for you Cadance.” Celestia whispered in Cadance’s ear.

In a small rectangular spartan room with one bed occupying a corner, lay a white unicorn stallion, his head and body bandaged, a moan emanated from his throat as he slowly regained consciousness. He blinked to clear his sight only improving it a little bit. The room was dark and opposite the bed lay a single door. The door opened revealing a young mare her mane and tail were two tone one navy blue the other pale blue. Her cutie mark was of a cloud covered yellowish moon, with a sound wave. Her amber eyes shining in the dark her coat was a light grey. Her bat wings at her side and her fangs marking her as a thestral.

“Where am I?” the stallion asked.

“You’re in Hollow Shades. Home of the Thestrals. My name’s Echo, I found you on the outskirts of town, you were badly injured. You suffered several lacerations all over your body; a cracked skull from blunt force trauma and in total nine broken bones. Three ribs on each side; your two tibia in your left and right forelegs and multiple hairline fractures in you legs; your ankle and your horn. Due to your broken ribs one of them had punctured one of your lunges. and you lost about 30% of your blood. All in all you should be dead.” Echo explained, the stallion groaned as he tried to sit up, but he was gently pushed back down.

“Hey, lay down, you shouldn’t push yourself. you’ll reopen those wounds, what’s your name? What happened to you?” she asked him, curious as to how and why he had come to be like that.

The white stallion closed his eyes and tilted his head down bringing a hoof to his chin as he tried to remember, blank... nothing was forth coming. “Echo I can’t remember.” he whispered

“What?” Echo gently asked, finally opening his eyes wide as his despair became evident on his face tears fell down his cheek as he turned to her.

“I can’t remember ... who I am! I can’t remember anything! Who I was, where I was born, what school I attended, my family. Nothing!” He broke down, his tears flowed free as Echo wrapped him up in her hooves and wings.

“How about I just call you Nemo?” Echo asked the distraught stallion in her arms.

He nodded quickly as he continued to sob.

“I really hope these tears come out of my coat in the shower.” Echo said in a playful tone trying to cheer up Nemo. It worked a little bit as his choked laugh attested.

*******

Twilight lay in bed the morning sun creeping across the room as shafts of light, dust motes floating through them, the past couple of days she had spent with her friends, and her mother whom she was now snuggled up with her mother’s wings cocooning the young mare in a gentle embrace. Twilight and Luna had been sleeping like this since the first night,

I’ll admit at first it was uncomfortable, I had never slept with my adoptive mother had never felt even so much as a hug, if anything my aunt Celestia (it’s still weird thinking of her that way) was more motherly. Now I can’t imagine sleeping without mom’s arms and wings around me, holding me close to her chest. The steady beating of her heart, the warmth her body provided and the security of her embrace. The pleasant rhythm lulling me to sleep each night, even though eventually we’ll sleep apart. We have years worth of bonding to catch up on, I never really had this closeness growing up. My adoptive parents were distant and otherwise ignored me at other times.

They had the maids look after me, or left me with Shining and Cadence. I don’t think I was ever loved by them. Why'd they even adopt me if they were just going to treat me like they did?

A moan of contentment issued from Luna’s throat as she brought Twilight closer to her, hugging her even more tightly. Her clingy affections caused Twilight to smile at the ridiculously cute scene she was taking part in. It’s certainly something I missed out on growing up. Luna’s a better mother, a kind and loving mother. My mother and I love her. Yet it hurts, I never would have had to go through a loveless foalhood, if it wasn’t for Mother losing herself to the nightmare. I know it isn’t entirely her fault, I know she was manipulated but it still hurts regardless. Perhaps if ponies didn’t ignore her. Perhaps if Auntie Celestia did something before— though I suppose if it had never happened I would never have had ‘real’ friends, I would never have had a ‘normal life’. I might have ended up like Blueblood, I shudder to think about that and I never would have become an Element of Harmony. Twilight sighed.

A loud thumping on the front door of the library announced a visitor, Twilight wiggled free from her mother’s grip. As soon as she did Luna began to grasp at the empty air, whimpering. Afraid of waking her Twilight floated a pillow into her mother’s hooves which quickly caught it and like a vice gripped it, Luna pulled the pillow into her chest and arms which expelled feathers as it was crushed. Twilight looked briefly wide eyed with her right eye twitching as feathers floated down.

She shook herself out of her reverie and proceeded down stairs towards the door. Two day guards stood in ceremonial armour.

“We regret to inform you Princess Twilight, that your Brother-in-law Shining Armor passed away this last Monday. All we know for sure is that he was riding the train from the Crystal Empire with Princess Mi Amore Cadenza. Casualties were light most only sustaining minor on non-life threatening injury, however Prince Shining Armor and Princess Cadence where near the focal point of the accident and bore the brunt of it. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza lives however.”

Twilight was wide-eyed, her eyes became unfocused as tears slipped from her eyes. “Shining Armor is dead!?” she asked in disbelief, tears forming in her eyes the two guards shifted uncomfortably and looked at each other. One of the guards spoke up.

“Princess Twilight, are you going to be alright?”

Twilight’s eye twitched and she levitated Stella Sectis off its rack on the wall, after the guard asked her that. She drew Stella Sectis, which immediately began to drain her magic into its storage gems, which were still not filled despite Twilight constantly charging it daily so it would not affect her when she drew it, and while she hadn’t completely gotten used to the drain it no longer affected her to the point of exhaustion or affecting her stance.

Twilight studied the blade of the sword remembering the times Shining would train her.

“Come on Twily, watch as I perform the skills then you try it.” Shining said as he held his sword vertically as Twilight stood beside him watching and mirroring his stance.

“First you channel your magic through you blade, like you’ve done before. But instead of keeping it on the blade let the sword direct it as you slash. Release your hold on the magic at the last second as you slash down like this.” Shining charged his blade throwing the blade back before slashing it forward a lavender crescent wave of magic flew at his target and sliced through it dissipating as it passed through it.

Twilight copied the movements her brother had done and was surprised to find that hers cut through the target and through the wall and into the air, It kept going for what seemed like miles.

Shining Armor paled as he watched it speed through the sky. “Well we won’t be using that again anytime soon. Thanks to you, it looks like I can expect an increase in paperwork for me Twily,” he said as Twilight blushed and smiled sheepishly.

“How about a less deadly technique, the flash trot, unlike a real teleport the flash trot is really a just a great burst of speed faster than the eye can see. We use our internal magic to propel us in any direction,” Shining said as he disappeared. Twilight looked around only to see him behind her back, which caused her to jump out of her skin.

“Shiny don’t do that!” Twilight complained

“Did you catch that Twily?” Shining asked a smirk on his face.

Twilight flash trotted and appeared in front of Shining. “I think I got it,” she said with a big grin.

Shining Armor shook his head, “Twilly at this rate you’re going to surpass me.”

“Princess Twilight?” The guards both asked shaking Twilight from her reminiscence.

She sighed and turned towards the guards remembering their asinine question.

“Oh, it's all sunshine and roses from here on out, Mr. Guard! I mean one of my closest most loved family members is dead. I am just lovely thanks! In case you didn’t notice that was sarcasm. Now if you don’t mind, I want to be left in peace and if you don’t clear off now I’ll turn you both into mares!”

Twilight was taking a perverse vindictive pleasure as they backed off a bit, resuming their stony visages the Royal Guards were famous for.

Twilight rolled her eyes as she approached them “Leave or die, I am not in the mood for your games or your tactlessness.” she whispered darkly

The guards maintained an impassive watch as their eyes focused forward, appearing as though living statues.

“Aww isn’t that cute you’re so frozen in fear you can’t move.”

Except for the few times their eyes darted to the weapon nothing else moved and inside they were scared shitless as they had heard of Twilight from older veteran guards, who had sparred with her in the past like most things she studied, She had a single minded devotion to the sword and as such had only three ponies that could realistically give her challenge, Glistering Blade, Princess Celestia and Luna.

Glistering Blade is a weaponsmaster renowned all over Equus. Her coat was white as snow; and her mane and tail were ice blue; her eyes are a piercing sapphire blue. It was because of her appearance that she was nicknamed Snowmare and she was the only unicorn to ever wield three Katana, two butterfly swords and a Chineighs war sword at once as well as ten Istallion daggers. She furthered Twilight’s mastery in the art of sword fighting once Shining and the guards could no longer teach her, after which Twilight earned the epithet ‘kyuubi no kitsune’ or ‘nine tailed fox’ for her use of nine katana and five chained throwing knives at once.

It is said she uses only one blade until she needs another eventually using nine blades. She has created her own sword style ‘Shippo no kitsune’ aka ‘Tail of the fox’ building on the styles she learned from Glistering Blade and Shining Armor, Glistering’s more offensive style mixed with Shining’s more defensive style. The Shippo no kitsune is the perfect blend of offense and defense. The nine stances of the style are as follows ichibi, nibi, sanbi, yonbi, gobi, rokubi, nanabi, hachibi and kyuubi. Basically one tail, two tails, three tails, four tails and so on. stances one through five are anti-personnel, stance six is anti-squad, seven is anti regiment, eight is anti-battalion and nine is anti-army. The Fox fire stance is used regardless of other stances and is primarily the use of chained knives, which can be used as offensive weapons, defensive shields or utilities like climbing, hanging and swinging.

Lucky for them Luna had woken up to the screaming of Twilight and came down to investigate.

“Twilight is something wrong?” Luna asked concern etched on her face. Twilight sheathed her blade, and turned to Luna who slowly trotted over to Twilight and held her gently. Twilight broke down in tears again as her rage subsided, her head laying in the crook of Luna’s neck as the two guards at the door saluted. Though they were still visibly shaken Luna bid them to stand at ease with a free hoof as the other was gently caressing Twilight’s back.

“Guards what is the meaning of this visit? Why is my daughter distraught?” Luna asked. The guards at the door relaxed their stance as the one on the right cleared his throat.

“Shining Armor was a casualty, when a train heading to Canterlot from the Crystal Empire was hit by a falling boulder from the nearby mountain side. Princess MI Amore Cadenza survived, however she was badly injured.”

Oh no, we must get back to Canterlot! Luna’s eyes widened.

“Guards go to the local taverns and inns locate the chariot drivers tell them to get their flanks here to the library and to carefully pack everything search every nook and cranny.” the guards saluted and galloped off to carry out their orders.

“Twilight, we’ll be going back ahead of them. We should go and be there for your sister Cadance as well as Shining Armor's mother and father.”

Twilight snorted at the mention of her adoptive parents.

“Also we’ll be talking about you being too harsh on the guard. You’re supposed to be better than that, my daughter. You’re a princess and a leader of the community. You can’t vent your anger and frustration on ponies who don’t deserve it. I’m sorely tempted to have you serve in the guard so that you have an intimate understanding of the kinds of things that a guard must deal with on a day to day basis, and maybe you’ll have a greater empathy for the stallions and mares serving to protect their princesses.” Luna playfully smirked as Twilight ducked her head in shame.

Luna booped her nose, “Twilight, daughter, I am here for you. I- I’m so sorry about your brother. He was an excellent captain for my sister. Both you and Cadence are very fortunate to have been such a major part of his life. Grieve your loss, my daughter, but celebrate his life and honor his memory.”.”

“Now, are you ready to go,Twilight?”

Twilight nodded from where she laid her head as Luna charged her teleport spell. Upon the execution of the spell, the two ponies suddenly vanished in a bright flash of white light. The now vacant library now had an atmosphere of foreboding and abandonment now that the.two of them had left leaving an empty library.

*******

In the throne room Twilight and Luna popped into existence and turned to the throne to see Princess Celestia. What they saw gave both of them pause, on her throne she had more pillows than a Princess of Somarelia as she lounged on top of the pillow pile on her side, her prominent protruding belly stretched so tightly, that little parts of her skin could be seen beneath her coat

They also noted that the guards that were in the room with them had their hind legs crossed or had a dazed look of confusion on their faces.

What surprised the two of them the most is that this was the first time for them to see Celestia gently glowing, like a night-light for the foals who are scared of the dark and use the night-light to ward off the monsters in the dark of night.

Twilight was shaken from her stupor, her grief for her brother-in-law forgotten temporarily “What in Tartarus happened to you, Auntie!?” Celestia looked around blearily and with her eyes slightly unfocused upon hearing Twilight as if being broken from a daydream or had just woken up.

“Oh Twilight, I am glad you came back. I am so sorry to hear about Shining Armor’s untimely demise,” Celestia said with a sad look upon her face.

“Thank you. I'm going to really miss him. I can't even imagine what Cadance must be feeling like right now. Shining Armor would have wanted us to remember the good times that we had with him and to celebrate the life that he lived, rather than be all mopey and gloomy.”

”So Twily I heard you earned an epithet, though why the nine-tailed fox?” Shining asked as nine katana and five chained throwing knives floated in the air the katana held behind Twilight like tails, and Knives hovering like floating fireballs “Ahh, I see.” Shining smiled “To think my little sister would be a swordmistress to rival Glistering Blade or the princesses, you never cease to amaze me Twily.”

But what happened to you!?” Twilight cried, panic in her voice as she pointed her hoof at Celestia’s belly. Celestia's gaze followed the direction of Twilight's hoof was pointing and giggled.

“Twilight you silly filly, I’m pregnant!” Celestia said nonchalantly as she waved a hoof dismissively.

Unbeknownst to the ponies gathered, a cream yellow coated unicorn mare wearing a fedora and holding a notepad was eavesdropping, talking under her breath

“I knew it wasn’t cake weight.”

“What!?” two voices exclaimed simultaneously, with the one belonging to Twilight and another belonging to a decidedly more nervous Luna.

Faust dammit, if I’m the father I am going to take a vow of celibacy. Celestia noticed Luna’s reaction and a grinned internally.

“Who’s the father!?” Twilight asked.

Celestia smiled smugly.

“Oh there is no father Twilight.” Celestia said briefly glancing at Luna who was now having a meltdown

Noooo, I got my sister pregnant!!! Luna thought.

“Okay then, who’s the other mother?” Twilight asked exasperation building.

“Oh there is no other mother either.” Celestia smiled as she said so watching Luna relax and slide to the floor. Luna then began to glare at her sister.

I will get you for that Celestia!

“Then how are you pregnant? It’s not like you can get pregnant without another pony! Not even alicorns reproduce via parthenogenesis!” Twilight nearly shouted obviously nearing her breaking point as she began to hyperventilate.

“By the way Twilight have you seen Spike recently?” Celestia asked a gentle smile gracing her lips.

Quirking an eyebrow at the sudden change in conversation subject Twilight began cautiously.

“Err, no to be honest, I kind of forgot about him, where is he?” Twilight asked as she sheepishly smiled as she rubbed the back of her neck.

“Oh I have an idea of where he could have gotten to. In fact he is quite close by.” as Celestia said this Twilight looked around only to cause Celestia to let out a gentle laugh.

“Enough with thy ... I mean your games Sister!” Luna shouted getting back up.

“I’ll give you a hint. You have been staring at his current location for the last 10 minutes.” Celestia told them.

Luna had a look of realization and horror on her face as she looked at Celestia like she didn’t know her. “You ate him!?” Luna cried, causing Celestia to face hoof and shake her head.

“No Luna, close, but close only counts in horseshoes and hoof grenades., It was quite a feat physics-wise, one of those once-in-a-lifetime probabilities, really. He is currently inside my womb through no fault of his own.” Celestia explained as Luna’s aghast look was wiped away with a long suffering sigh. Then Celestia had a thoughtful look tapping a hoof on her chin before stating “It wasn’t my fault either.”

“Great this is just like the Rainbow Dash incident.” Luna moaned.

Celestia shuddered in pleasure as she remembered the incident.

It was a nice cool day and Celestia was flying along singing a tune. “I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh), I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh), I'm walking on sunshine (whoa oh).”

Celestia turned around as she heard somepony shout

“Get out of the way!”

It was Rainbow Dash and she was about to move when Rainbow Dash performed a sonic rainboom flying right up Celestia’s vagina at mach 10 causing the mare to be propelled forward fast, wide-eyed and giving her an orgasm in the process.

“What!?” Twilight shouted her eye twitching.

“What? Did you really think Rainbow Dash was originally born with a rainbow mane and tail? No Twilight, though she was in there for a good few months,” Luna shrugged “We eventually got her out but not before obvious traits had transferred to her. The polychromatic mane and tail, the least of them being full control over the sonic rainboom, sure she could do it before, if she had space and enough gravity to aid her fall, but it’s original creator was Celestia, she was known as one of the fastest mares in Equestria, she loved to fly fast and raced the other fastest mare Commander Hurricane though knowing my sister and in hindsight I think my sister may have just been chasing tail,” Luna brought a hoof to her chin in thought “I believe she almost named it the sonic raingasm. Why? I’ll never know,” Luna explained.

Luna then turned to Twilight to see that she had frozen up with a look of shock on her face. Luna gently poked her with a hoof and groaned.

“Great! You broke her!” Luna said as she threw up her hooves.

“Me!? I am not the one who told her she’s practically cousins with Rainbow Dash!” Celestia retorted and pouted.

“Hey Twily, this is Cadence she’s a … friend, she is here to look after you while I’m away with the guards be good for her.” Shining asked

“Okay, I will. She’s really pretty,” Twilight said as she blushed.

“Thank you for the compliment Twilight! I am sure we’re gonna get along just fine!” Cadence said as she picked up Twilight in her forelegs. Twilight blushed even redder than before as nopony had ever held her like that except for Shiny.

Luna noticed the sound of horseshoes on marble as Cadence walked into the throne room her tear stained eyes immediately locking on Luna and the catatonic Twilight as fresh tears started to fall, she galloped over to them.

“Mo-th-er, Twi-light! Sh-sh-sh-shining’s g-gone!!!” Cadence sobbed stuttering through her tears as she cried Luna wrapped Cadence in her hooves.

“I know Cadence, Shh, shh, shh. Mommy’s here. Mommy’s got you. Just let it all out. That’s it, Cadie. Shh, shh, shh, shh … ,” Luna murmured in Cadence’s ear as she gently stroked the sobbing Cadence in her arms as she mantled her wings around the distraught Cadence.

Twilight had broken out of her stupor as she heard Cadence and proceeded to Luna who opened her wing and arm bringing Twilight into the hug with her sister re-mantling them as the recent excitement over Spikes location was temporarily set aside as they remembered why they came here in the first place. Hot, fresh tears fell fresh on Twilight’s cheeks as she nuzzled Cadence.

******

Shining had just gotten back and Twilight was hiding on the landing as she watched Shining and Cadence.

“Shining something happened today.” Cadence said as she sat down Shining joined her. Cadence explained what had happened while he was out.

“So my not so little anymore sister, kissed you Cadence?” Shining said as he nodded his head in thought “Looks like she has great taste in mares too then,” he said with a smirk and chuckled as Cadence hit him on the right foreleg.

“Too bad, she’s already taken,” Shining said as he nuzzled Cadence.

’Yeah because that’s why it’s wrong.’ Cadence thought to herself ruefully.

******

Twilight sighed. In hindsight kissing Cadence who it turned out to be my real sister may not have been the best idea, oh who am I kidding I still love her even in spite of what happened all those years ago!

“Why do mortals have to be so fragile!?” Cadence lamented as her tears streamed down her face.

“Be glad you never had to explain that your lover died because you were too vigorous in bed.” Luna joked darkly as she grimaced at the memory of one of her less than sturdy bed mates.

“Uff, well not that this isn’t touching but let’s retire to a more private area of the castle shall we?” Twilight trotted over to help Celestia as her current predicament was partially her fault. They all left the room leaving the guards alone.

“This is just crazy Sister Moon, I want to transfer to a nice quiet border town or a remote manor of some noble of something.” The guard mare complained to her brother, who was also a guard.

“I hear ya Brother Moon, as soon as I see some results from that Blueblood douche and his predicament, I am out of here. I hear Hollow Shades is a quiet town.” Sister replied.

*******

Early that same morning, light had filtered into Sandy Orchid’s room as she was sat in front of the room vanity mirror as Commander Lyra brushed her mane and tail as the brush glided through Sandy’s mane she spoke up, “Why do I have to go out like this? Ever since I woke up this morning I have been feeling weird and strange urges.” The newly minted mare pouted.

Sniggering, Lyra responded, “well Sandy we have to get you those clothes now don’t we?”

This was going to be interesting! It looks like Sandy is in heat. Lyra thought to herself as she continued brush Sandy.

*******

They had finished their preparations and Lyra was escorting Sandy who was digging her heels in even as Lyra’s magic dragged her out of the house as they made their way towards carousel boutique they crossed paths with Big Mcintosh as he passed by he caught a whiff of the musky scent Sandy was giving off, but that was not all as Sandy found herself unable to stop herself from bending forward, lifting her tail and giving Big Mac a view of her winking vagina. Big Mac barged past Lyra knocking her over.

No! Stupid body! Stop doing that! N-not like this! Not in public! Sandy thought as she currently experienced a cauldron of emotions.

Lyra was off to the side sniggering and just as Sandy felt a weight on her back and a massive head of the draft stallion’s cock prodding at her virgin petals, Lyra decided to intervene and levitate Big Mac off of Sandy, who regained some control and hid behind Lyra and curled into a ball shivering, while Big Mac struggled in the air as Lyra held him.

When Big Mac regained his senses and calmed down, Lyra put him down, “You okay there Big Mac?”

The massive red stallion just nodded. “Eyup, thank ya kindly Lyra and mah apologies miss … .”

“Sandy Orchid,” Lyra supplied as it seemed the mare behind her was too traumatised to supply it.

“Ah’m sorry I lost control of mah self there Miss Orchid,” Big Mac said ashamed as he hung his head and left.

As the draft stallion left Lyra turned to Sandy and lifted her in the air carrying her the rest of the way to Rarity’s shop.

*******

“Welcome to Carousel Boutique where everything is chic, unique and magnifique!” Rarity beamed, when her eyes saw who it was she squealed.

“Oh, Lyra! How have you been darling!?” Rarity gushed before her eye trained on the floating and shivering mare behind Lyra.

“Goodness gracious! What happened to her, darling?” Rarity asked as Lyra cast a glance at Sandy.

“This is Sandy Orchid, we came to get her some dresses, but she’s in heat for the first time. She is a late bloomer and a certain resident Apple stallion lost control as we crossed paths with him.” Lyra explained.

“The poor dear, her first heat and she happens upon one of Ponyville’s most eligible studs.” Rarity said as she sighed levitating some tape measure.

Sandy wasn’t really paying attention to her surroundings as she was now mumbling something over and over again.

“It was so big.” She said wide eyed and blushing.

Hearing this caused Rarity to blush as well. “If you would Lyra, please lay her on the chaise lounger and I’ll measure her,” she said as she gently caressed Sandy to offer her some comfort.

“Sweetie Belle!” Rarity shouted, causing Sandy flinche.

“Yes Rarity?” Sweetie Belle called.

“Make our guest some tea please.” Rarity asked

“Okay!” came Sweetie’s reply as she pranced into the kitchen. There was a crash and Rarity’s left eye twitched.

As Sweetie Belle returned with the tea Rarity had finished measuring Sandy.

Lyra and Sandy took a cup in their magic, the cup Sandy had shook as she did.

“Don’t you worry about paying a single bit Sandy, not after what happened to you,” Rarity announced as she began sketching up rough designs for Sandy.

Sandy felt a small smile crept on her lips at Rarity’s generosity. How can somepony be so generous.

After they had finished their tea, Lyra and Sandy left Carousel Boutique. Both mares thanked Rarity for her hospitality and the dresses.

“Why was she so generous Commander? I have never met anyone like her.” Sandy said as she lamented the thing that happened that morning.

Lyra put a leg around Sandy’s neck pulling her close. “We girls have to stick together Sandy, though I ultimately played a part in what happened. It was, is part of life as a mare. That was your first lesson, you’ve been on the instigating side, but now you know what it’s like on the other side of that, to be on the receiving end. Though it is scary, when it’s with somepony you truly care about, being in heat and being mounted by your lover, having sex during heat is the best feeling a mare can experience.” Lyra explained.

Sandy huffed “As if I’d fall in love with some stallion.”

Lyra snickered “Well you may not have any choice with that Sandy. You’ll love who you’ll love.”

Sandy sniffed “By the way, Commander, thank you for stopping that stallion before he-he had his way with me.”

Lyra smiled “You’re welcome.”

Princess Celestia and Luna led the way towards the dinning room with Twilight and Cadence in tow. Twilight had a leg around Cadence’s withers as they trotted together. Meanwhile Cadence was nuzzling, leaning into and rubbing up against Twilight. The affection she was receiving was akin to that of a cat, so much so that Twilight swore up and down at one point she heard Cadence purr. In the end she put it down to stress and grief playing with her mind. Twilight also noted that the way Cadence kept up the affection as if she was desperate, almost panicked, like she was trying to find someway of fusing with Twilight into one being. She was acting afraid that somepony, anypony would take Twilight away from her. That Twilight would be dragged from her and any time she saw a mare, whether they were a maid, guard or bureaucrat if they so much as glance at Twilight she would send them a murderous glare that would send a manticore fleeing and then getting closer to Twilight once again and resuming her displays of affection.

Twilight heard Celestia chuckling as she had obviously noticed what Cadence was doing and now Twilight had to watch out for teasing from her mentor turned aunt.

If I didn’t know better I’d say Cadence was mate-guarding me. And as interesting as it would be if it was true, it couldn’t possibly be, since they were sisters weren’t they? Cadence even knew of our familial bonds even before I did.

As they passed through the halls and past servants, Twilight would smile at them apologetically, while Cadence would nudge her side, to get her attention and to let her disapproval be known. This had been going on for a while and Twilight was beginning to wonder if her addled mind was tricking her into a false sense of security because of her crush on her old foal-sitter turned sister-in-law and then recently discoveries in which she found out that Cadence was her real biological sister. Oh my Faust! I am so messed up right now! Shiremund Freud would have a field day with me.

Trying to regain some semblance of sanity, Twilight shook her head as eventually they trotted into the dining room. They passed through the double doors to the dining room, and Twilight felt a new weight underneath under her as a waft of the scent of cooked food met her nose. As they came upon the table the intoxicating aroma hit Twilight’s nose even stronger than it had been at the door and she was doing her best not to drool, though she was failing at it miserably. As she noticed what appeared to be haybacon strips and several other similar foods that were much larger than normal.

Taking a seat next to Cadence and her mother, Twilight picked up one of the strips in her magic and sniffed it, before putting it in her mouth and chewing. As soon as she did, an explosion of flavor greeted her tastebuds the savoriness shocking her and as a consequence, she began to salivate even more profusely than before. She had to have more and so she levitated more and some of the other foods. One was thick and oddly similar in shape to a flank, and another that looked like quartz, but it couldn’t possible be one because quartz wasn’t edible and was probably rock candy and while Twilight noted the paradoxical nature of that logic, she still examined it closely deciding that she would need to cross reference it in ‘Gems, Jewels and other sparkly things’ . She took a smaller gem in her magic and hid it.

Twilight sunk her teeth into the other gem like food with surprising ease, since she was expecting some resistance. Huh? It tastes like bubblegum. She moved on to the other foods she had added to her plate, until finally her curiosity couldn’t be held at bay any longer.

“Mom, what is this food?” Twilight asked. Luna peaked over to see her plate.

“Oh that’s blue quartz, bacon, lamb, beef and chicken.” Luna casually informed Twilight shrugging and going back to eating meanwhile Twilight was staring wide eyed at her plate and half devoured food.

“What!? How could I eat meat? How could I enjoy it!? How in Tartarus did I eat a gem!?” Twilight started panicking, while watching as everypony else at the table feasted.

Luna, taking note of Twilight’s panic, trotted over and started stroking Twilight’s back. “Twilight, calm down sweetie. It looks like your Aunt decided to suppress another important part of yourself,” Luna sighed.

“We aren’t thoroughbreds Twilight. We are alicorns but me and ‘Tia are what is known as kirin. We are part dragon, since our mother had– some unique tastes, when it came to mates. As a consequence, it has made us stronger; more powerful; more resilient; and we also have flame breath. It also makes us more than just omnivores of opportunity and as such we require meat, Twilight, as well as gemstones.

“What!? Wait… but grah!” Twilight exclaimed as she threw up her hooves

Luna took a slice of beef and ate it. “Just don’t tell anypony that you have to eat meat. Don't tell other ponies, not because they're frightened, though someponies might end up being scared. Others, well, they'd either be afraid or behave strangely upon learning about our dietary needs.”

Celestia, who was sitting across from her sister on the other side of the dining-table continued where Luna left off, “Indeed the ponies that find out have an odd reaction, upon learning this Some are just okay with it, while others take it to the extreme and ask us to eat them. Some don’t even ask.” Celestia said a grimace on her face. “Some ponies seem to forget, that even if we swallow them whole and alive, they won’t be coming back out alive or the way they went in. Someponies are selfish little idiots who make their tetrarch suffer just to find some imagined pleasure supposedly found in the belly of said tetrarch, a belly that excretes Sulfuric acid!!! an acid 10 times stronger than a normal ponies even at a highly diluted levels,” Celestia sighed breaking down in tears. “I had to hear her suffer so much as she slowly died in agony calling for a help, that could never come.”

“She was one ambitious maid who had actually climbed into my open mouth while I was asleep and rousing me from my deep slumber. Her struggles continued for about 10 minutes, causing me to reflexively swallow her before I realised too late what was happening.” Celestia cringed remembering the feeling of the mare sliding down her throat.

“I had to listen to her screaming and crying out for help and had to feel her kicking and thrashing about inside my belly trying to get out as she was digested.” Celestia sighed while shaking her head.

“I took the opportunity to gather the staff that day and closed the castle down. I explained to them, that for those whose fetish is being eaten that they should keep it to dreams and fantasy.”

Celestia stood on stage her belly bulging and rippling rapidly, the ponies gathered didn’t know what to make of that.

”Right! Now that I have gathered you all here, I need to make an announcement. A public service announcement if you will, all of you gathered here know that I am an omnivore that is I eat meat and gemstones along with normal pony fare such as hay, cakes etcetera. This is a closely guarded secret for good reason, ponies would panic and cause untold chaos. Though this isn’t about it being leaked it is related. This morning I was abruptly and rudely awoken to something large climbing into my mouth, or should I say somepony. I do not know what madness compelled this mare to climb into my mouth but she did and by the time I realised that one of my maids had climbed into my mouth, my swallowing reflex had already triggered, dragging the stupid mare down my throat. I don’t think I need to go into detail as to what happened next, she finished sliding down my throat and into my belly.” Celestia caught her breath and drunk a glass of water. letting it sink in.

Putting the glass down to the side Celestia continued, “Now I am sure you all heard muffled screams in the room, especially those closer to the stage” Celestia motioned to her undercarriage where her distended belly writhed and rippled the odd hoof shape bulging out. “This is what happens when I eat or any pony eats. My belly excretes powerful acid that can melt gems, including diamond. I would have thought my staff smart enough to know that entering in here “ Celestia paused to point to her mouth “Will send you here to be digested,” she said as she motioned to her undercarriage again.

“And now thanks to this stupid, selfish maid, I am now forced to listen to her scream in pain and to feel her writhe inside me while my belly turns her into nutrients, vitamins, sugar and fat and probably she’ll go straight to my flanks!” Celestia pouted.

“She will not have any funeral, she will not leave a corpse all she’ll be is excrement that’ll be flushed down the toilet and forgotten. The only clue to her existence would be my dress size increasing. Know therefore and consider it in your hearts, that any who enters my mouth voluntarily is seeking a slow and painful death. I trust that anyone who values their lives, or their friends and family will not seek an ignoble death such as this.! Oh and tell the kitchen I wont be needing breakfast, or Lunch. and tell them to make my a healthy salad for my evening dinner.”

“That is just disturbing! What next? Are you going to tell me that Auntie has a cock too!?” She exclaimed as she looked and pointed at Celestia who had the decency to look sheepishly embarrassed.

Twilight caught it and pointed a hoof at Celestia, “no … just I ... .” Twilight buried her face in her hooves blushing right up to the tips of her ears which were folded down.

“Actually. Twilight, I do.” Celestia chuckled nervously.

“That leads me to the less than pleasant conversation for the dinner table. You see Twilight as dragons are naturally hermaphroditic our family now has that apart of our genes and because your father was a kirin and that is how you were born a futanari as well. The recessive gene in me combined with the dominant from your father meant that you were born as a futanari.

That heavy weight! No it can’t be! That’s just not possible! Ponies and dragons can’t crossbreed! … Can they? Twilight looked underneath her barrel between her legs and sure enough there hung two purple testicles and a stallion’s sheath. Twilight paled. Those would shame even Big Mac, or maybe it’s just my small frame. Yeah, let’s go with that. Then one thought slipped into her mind.

“Hang on! If you have one, how come I have never seen it?” Twilight asked, still blushing, though this time it was in tandem with Celestia.

“Merely a subtle suggestion charm I put on myself to make observers keeps their eyes from ... that area. I’ll teach you it later.”

“Wait, is that why the maids have those uniforms? They are so tiny that they’d be useless.”

Celestia blushed “While I have had both stallions and mares in my bed, I prefer mares Twilight and well those more ‘appropriate’ maid uniforms always left too much to the imagination—unfortunately that also meant that I found myself daydreaming when I’d see one and would proceed to imagine what was under that dress.” Celestia said as she shuddered in pleasure at the memories of some of her lurid daydreams and fantasies.

“Another thought occurs … will I lose my self control around other mares in heat?” Twilight asked.

“Yes, at least at first, Twilight, though you were born with one you weren’t aware of it and you never went through puberty with it, so you don’t have the control most stallions have built up. I suggest you warn your friends Twilight.” Celestia explained

“Not that this isn’t riveting conversation, but can we just change the subject?” Cadence grumbled irritably.

“I hope she isn’t sterile like Shiny was... or asexual,” she muttered under her breath.

“Actually Cadence, I am just going to head off and do some research, I’ll just-” Twilight was cut off by cerise lips crashing down on hers. Cadence had dragged Twilight into a passionate kiss, much to Twilight’s surprise.

When Cadence drew back, a string of saliva was trailing from her lips to Twilight’s. A panting Twilight was trying to process what was happening and half-wondering if she was in one of her less than chaste dreams of Cadence. Twilight looked into Cadence’s eyes while trying to discern what might have compelled Cadence to kiss her. Cadence leant in and whispered in Twilight’s ear which twitched a bit as her sister’s warm breath came into contact with it.

“I am yours, Twilight, and you are mine, you keep that thing in your metaphorical pants Twilight or so help me I am going to make sure you go blue-balled for a century.”

“C-cadence!? B-but what abo-” Cadence cut her off with another kiss.

“He is dead, Twilight, I am still mourning him and I loved him dearly, but I will not let you ruin this chance for us due to ignorance on your part, you must remain a virgin otherwise all of Shining Armor’s work will be in vain.”

“Capisce? I’ll explain why, or the lawyer reading the will shall further explain the reasons why later. For now, I need you to listen to me and do what I ask please.” Cadence begged and shifted into the puppydog pout, the secret weapon of all mares.

Twilight nodded slowly as she turned around, Cadence had released her, and as she left she slowly wobbled a dopey grin on her face after the initial shock had worn off.

As Twilight had left, Celestia burst out laughing, which earned a glare from Cadence and a double facehoof from Luna.

“Mind explaining Cadence?” Luna asked while it was phrased as a question the look and tone she was giving Cadence implied an unspoken order.

“Well you see mom, Shining Armor put me into his will, that if he were to die, then I would be betrothed to his sister, Twilight in order to protect me from the royal marriage law that states that another noble of equal rank to the deceased may marry the widowed/widower and he also wanted to give Twilight the chance of being with me.”

“Sister! I thought you would have gotten rid of that law!?”

“Sorry, Luna that has been an ongoing battle with the nobles, so far I have only managed to pass an amendment, a loophole that states that the sister/brother of the deceased may marry the partner still living if the husband or wife allows it, as long as that sibling of the deceased is still single and they are specifically mentioned in their will. It comes with the proviso that the intended partner be both a virgin and must lose that virginity to their future betrothed within the month of the deceased’s will being read. Also the partner still alive must agree, prior to the will being signed and it must be co-signed by them as they can chose to refuse, as can the intended future partner. This begs the question of why Cadence. Why Twilight?” Celestia asked an eyebrow raised.

“Well you see, Shining Armor and I knew Twilight had a huge crush on me, still does, bless her heart. So we decided that seeing as I was going to outlive him, that when he dies I would court Twilight, normally once that happened. When he went to the officers academy, we discovered that ancient royal law and due to Shining’s job with a high mortality rate we decided to amend his will so that I would become her wife.”

“And how do you know Twilight has a crush on you?” Luna asked Cadence’s response was to give her the ‘Did you really just asked me that?’ look.

“The fact that I am the princess of love and the fact that as a li’l’ filly, Twilight kissed me.”

“That doesn’t mean-”

Cadence interrupted Luna. “It was on the lips and it was a Prench kiss, it is kind of hard to mistake that kind of kiss for anything else, Mom.”

Luna closed her mouth.

******

Twilight had now recovered from her tongue fight with Cadence and now was on the prowl for her prey, the Canterlot Archives. She would find out about kirin and her new appendage. As she rounded the corner leading into the archives proper, she hurried, while trying to ignore the log that now made it difficult to walk as it slapped against her barrel and cursed her luck that she had passed several maids who had fainted or just gasped and she had forgotten to get that penis hiding charm from Celestia.

******

Sandy orchid cursed to herself as her heat was still going strong and refused to die down. Despite her fevered attempts at vigorous rubbing, she could not get relief from her torment. She had refused that thing that resembled the male penis that Lyra had offered to lend her. She shook her head “I will not give up my stallionhood, even if I am a mare,” she had said through gritted teeth. Lyra had just laughed and pointed out how stupid she was being

“Incase you didn’t know, it lasts about a week or two at most. Do you self a favor and take it.”

“No~! I will not!” Sandy whined.

“Suit yourself.” Lyra shrugged and left.

******

In Canterlot in a run down tavern off the main streets, two ponies wearing hoods entered the tavern and sat in the booth further back, ordering a couple bottles of vodka.

As they sat there they leaned in and spoke in hushed tones, “Kyuubi no kitsune has returned to the castle, I spotted this in the newspaper, those paparazzi are good. The word is Kitsune is the long lost daughter of Princess Luna. We made sure they wouldn’t blab to the guard, since the dead cannot voice whatever secrets they are privy to. We can use this to our advantage in our goals. This is the plan so listen close … .”

In the Canterlot Archives, Twilight sat amidst a crowd of books that suspiciously looked like a fort, she had her head resting on an open book as she groaned.

“Well, that’s the last of them.” She glared down at the page that had informed her of her new anatomy. Twilight’s ears perked up from their position flat against Twilight’s head. She heard a whisper as she sat up to take in her surroundings, the mare made note of the library full of maids, some of which were intently looking at her and under the table at which she sat. Another groan emanated from her throat.

“What are you looking at!? It’s like you’ve never seen a mare with a penis before!?” Twilight exclaimed as the maids, knowing that their poorly hidden attention was discovered, all blushed, some remained silent in shame, others bolted out of the archives giggling, others froze like Fluttershy when anyone noticed her and some of them even wore lecherous grins.

Twilight deconstructed her book fort and reorganised them, placing them into the corresponding shelves. She then huffed and teleported out of the archives.

The maids who were left being started gossiping amongst themselves “Did you see the length of that thing!?”

“I’d love to get rutted senseless by Twilight. Did you hear that she’s Princess Luna’s daughter?”

“No? But that does mean she’s a princess.”

“I wonder if I’d choke on it if I tried to deepthroat it?” That last question earned one of the maids the gaze of every mare in the room.

“What?” she asked in confusion.

******

Shining Armor sat up in his sick bed, now that most of his injuries had healed, leaving his body riddled with scars where his wounds hadn’t healed properly. He looked down at his still broken legs and sighed, Who am I? he thought as he began to sob, What if my family thinks I’m lost or dead? What would they think? What about my wife or marefriend, if I have any, they must be sick with worry!

Echo trotted in with his breakfast on her back, seeing Nemo her new friend sobbing, she hurried over to him placing the tray on his bedside table and held him as he cried, Nemo was a broken stallion and Echo, being the compassionate mare that she is, thought I need to be here with him.

As they broke the hug Shining looked into Echo’s kind, golden eyes in what was but a moment he darted forwards and locked lips with her, startling her, before she melted into the kiss. As he broke from the kiss, his brow furrowed with worry as well as a blush of embarrassment as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously laughing.

“I am sorry! I don’t know what came over me, I—” Before he could finish Echo spoke

“Nemo, we can’t! What if you already have a marefriend? Or a wife?”

“Echo, you saw how badly broken I was out there in that forest, it’s more than likely anypony that cared for me thinks I am dead. I am scared, alone and worst of all I am literally nopony, I have no memory, no clues and the only pony I have any amount of contact with is you, if they don’t think I'm dead, then they must think I’m missing. If they think I am missing, why haven’t we heard anything from nearby villages about missing ponies? Echo, do you already have a stallion?” Nemo asked?

“Err, no I don’t.” Echo replied

“Well then, what is stopping you?” Nemo held a hoof to her face.

“Your amnesia.” Echo replied again.

“Is that all?” Nemo asked as a nod came from Echo in response.

“Well, Echo If my memory does come back, then we will deal with it then. I doubt it’ll be anytime soon and even if it is I won't abandon you. I swear.” Nemo said as he pulled Echo into a hug.

“Nemo, how would you feel, if your wife or marefriend hooked up with another stallion while she had amnesia? If you wouldn't want it done to you, why would you do it to your wife or marefriend? I really wouldn't feel comfortable getting in a relationship with you, until you got your memories back and you know for certain whether or not you have a wife or marefriend.”

“I know but I just, need to feel somepony in my arms. I need to be held Echo. I need to know that I am not alone and not in the way of just pure company. I feel like there’s a cold dark hole inside my heart and it aches so badly.”

Sandy Orchid sat on a bench next to Sugarcube Corner sighing, this was her first moment alone without Lyra to watch over her. She replayed her life in her mind up until now and it disgusted her, sickened her to her stomach to think she had been doing, her experience of nearly being raped by a stallion gave her a greater understanding of how a mare feels when being overpowered by a stallion’s strength. It got her to thinking about how she had used her position as Prince to cow mares into yielding to his will, especially since he could threaten to throw them in the dungeon to rot, whether the charges brought against them were justified or not.

I only found out what it was like after my Aunt turned me into a mare, you might be thinking right now that I hate her for doing this to me, stripping me of everything and for a while I did, but I hated myself more, I may come off as stupid and bratty, but to be honest I had to put on that mask, nobility did not care how intelligent you were, so long as you didn’t interfere with their own personal goals and schemes. They really only cared for power and wealth. At least that is what I thought, but it seems that I truly became the mask and I could not see the trees for the forest. I hate the mask that I wore back when I was a Prince of Equestria, a mask that with the passage of time, became more and more difficult to remove. And once enough time had passed, even I believed my mask to be my true face, rather than the mask it really was.

My Aunt, who rather than executing me or exiling me to a wasteland outside Equestria decided to use the relatively light punishment of walking in a mare’s hoof steps in a place that is quiet and peaceful, where I can truly reflect on my actions, That what I had seen and experienced, what it was like to have a stallion try and force himself on me, and the powerlessness I felt as a mare against a stallion’s superior strength and what it was like to be in heat, which thankfully as her first heat was rather brief. Though Commander Lyra insists later ones will be worse and longer. But on the whole it had so far had been enlightening. While the experiences I had were interesting, for example how my body had reacted to certain stimuli during heat I will never tell Lyra that I nearly caved and ripped that dildo out of her magic field, but i’d never hear the end of it and the thought that had made me cringe more than slightly was that I had almost offered my body to my almost rapist so easily, it’s scary.

I had hurt so many mares as a stallion, I wonder if I could ever make it up to the mares I had ruined as a stallion. I wonder if I would ever want to be a stallion again, despite the weirdness of these foreign impulses and urges. Had being male truly been a good thing? Tartarus, if I looked at it pragmatically, this body gives me more ways to manipulate ponies into doing what I want. But at the same time, is that any better than the stallion that cared not for a mare’s body and used mares as a form of release without regards for their feelings? Rather than somepony to cherish. I went through mares like I did cheap condoms, just something to be used and then discarded afterwards. No, I didn’t care how they might have felt, I only cared about myself and pleasuring myself. How am I ever going to have sex again though? I surely don't want a stallion, not because I was a straight stallion, but for the simple fact that I would not be able to refuse if they wanted it and I did not and end up like the mares I had used and then discarded after I had enjoyed their bodies. No! How about mares? Yes a mare— Oh wait, I am falling into the trap again, I will not pursue mares like the stallion I was, but then how do I date as a mare? Better yet, how do I find a lesbian or bisexual mare? Also how do I find somepony who could help me with this?

Sandy stood up from her bench and sighed and started trotting, she didn’t notice a certain pink mare rubbing her hooves together while wearing a false black handlebar moustache. She was too lost in thoughts of how her life had changed, You know, I used to look down on this kind of life, but it is so much better than the one I had in Canterlot. Despite my initial hesitance the place is peaceful, the neighbors wave happily. Why can’t Canterlot be more like this place? I suppose now I know why Aunty would come here so often. And Princess Twilight lived here for so long, why did I look down on them? Was it peer pressure or just my own revolting behaviour? Perhaps both?

Sandy sighed once more continuing on looking around, as foals laughed in the playground beside her. The atmosphere was more cheery. Animals would bask in Aunties light. Foals, that’s a thought, I feel like I want my own, though that could just be my new body’s hormones. But I feel a warmth inside me at the mere thought and yet fear and revulsion fill my mind, why though? It’s such a beautiful thing to give life, to actually have somepony I helped come into the world. But could I let a trustworthy stallion mount me? … no, Perhaps a futanari mare, which the nobles look down on for their heightened sexual labido. Hmmph! If only they knew that Auntie Celestia and Luna both were futanari then they’d change their tune so quickly they’d get whiplash. So caught up in her thoughts as Sandy was she didn’t notice the eldritch abomination of pink that is Pinkie Pie in front of her, colliding with the pink mare, Sandy let out an “Ohf, Oh my apologies I didn’t see you there, er?”

“My-name-is-Pinkie-Pie-and-I-just-saw-how-sad-you-were-and-I-thought-Pinkie-how-are-you-going-to-help-her-smile-and-I-gasped-Pinkie-you-can-help-her-with-her-problem-whatever-it-may-be-and-then-I-came-here-and-now-it’s-now-and-you-are-here-so-let’s-go!” Pinkie rambled off not taking a single breath.

“How did you manage, to say that without breathing and how in Tartarus did you know I needed help? Most ponies would sooner sneer at my weakness than help me in Canterlot.” Sandy near screeched My brain hurts. Sandy thought, before being foalnapped by the pink demon.

******

Meanwhile in Canterlot in Cadance’s room, Twilight sat on the bed with Cadance who was holding Twilight in a comforting embrace even as she gently absently caressed Twilight’s new dick with her right hoof as her left was busy holding Twilight.

“Are you ready Twily?”

“Cadance, this is all too weird for me. Can you give me sometime to think?” Twilight asked as Cadance paused in her ministrations, that quite frankly were pushing the purple mare closer to the edge as each minute passed.

I have always wanted Cadance and even though my BBBFF was blessing our union and still looking out for his LSBFF even when he passed. If I refuse it’d also be unfair to Cadance as by ancient law she’d be forced to marry somepony she doesn’t love and that would be a tragedy for the princess of love. I have it within me to make her mine, to show her how much I love her and she seems eager. But the moment I … I give her my virginity, is the moment we are bound by law to marry. Do I want that? … Yes! Of course I want that! But what if my brother’s alive? After all, they never found the body. Oh who are you kidding, Twilight, a star fell on him, he was surely vaporized by the star and turned into ashes, the forensics of the site do show that where it landed the steel and reinforced crystal hull had melted at the point of impact and incinerated much of the carriage despite that was made out of reinforced crystal, the hardest material on the planet besides, magical ores that only Mum and Aunt Celestia can make.

Turning to Cadance, Twilight saw Cadance’s hopeful smile I can’t crush that hope, My brother’s dead and I will never see him again, but Cadance is very much alive, I am still not sure but I have always been told to live life to the fullest, to fight for what I want and not let regrets claim me. My BBBFF taught me that, even though his time with us was so short, and he died without fanfare or heroics. And wouldn’t I be betraying his trust even more if I didn’t look after Cadance? If I hid my love from her? Also if I didn’t take this chance, I would regret it for the rest of my long long years. And once I am done with Cadance I can look through the evidence myself again, visit the scene and finally get some closure, find my brother or his corpse. But first I must lay claim to Cadance. Twilight pressed her lips against Cadance’s, kissing her passionately before withdrawing to answer her as she saw the anticipation, the hunger on Cadance’s face.

“I will marry you Cadance, I will give you my virginity and take you as my wife!” Cadance immediately tackled her sister and soon to be wife in a hug as she squealed happily. And even if by some miracle you are alive Shiny, I hope you don’t hate me. As they both lay on the bed, Cadance straddled Twilight looking down at her with half lidded lust filled eyes.

“I am in heat Twilight, get me pregnant, take your wife to be.”

She took Twilight’s hard member in her magic and aim the tip at her by now soaking wet pussy. As the tip of Twilight’s member met the pink folds of the mare above her she shuddered as Cadance’s warm wet folds wrapped around Twilight’s shaft, causing waves of pleasure to flood her body making her leak from her own folds as the mare of her dreams slide down her length, before completely taking Twilight’s penis to the hilt. Slowly before Cadance rose up Twilight grabbed Cadance and rolled her over and wrapping her forelegs around Cadance’s barrel, Cadance squealed and giggled as Twilight pulled back before thrusting deeply into her as the sounds coming from where their two genitals met as Cadance leant up, pulling Twilight’s head down and kissing the younger mare. She licked across Twilight’s lips as her tongue begged for entry into Twilight’s mouth.

Twilight opened her mouth to let the intruding muscle into her mouth as it searched and felt its way around Twilight’s mouth. Twilight’s tongue licked Cadance’s and wrapped it as the two wrestled for dominance. Pulling back both mares gasped in pleasure as a line of saliva connected their two open mouths, not wasting anymore time Twilight’s strokes became faster with Cadance matching the rhythm of bucking her hips against Twilight, in time with Twilight’s thrusts. Cadance darted upward and took Twilight’s horn in her mouth pulling Twilight’s head down slightly as she laid Cadance back on the bed keeping her splayed legs around her barrel a her rear hooves pointing toward the ceiling, Cadance licking along Twilight’s horn its solid length becoming wet with saliva as she started sucking on it in between licks as Twilight’s moans and her own of pleasure reached new heights, Cadance’s and Twilight’s sweat covered bodies giving off a scent that drove both mares crazy, Cadance’s horn glowed with her magic as her magic tweaked and rubbed Twilight’s clit and invaded her soaking wet pussy making Twilight temporarily weak at the knees as she struggled against the onslaught.

Between gasps of pleasure Twilight called out “I love you Cadance, I want you to cum, I want to cum inside. I want us to be together forever. Cum for me! I am close, Cadance!”

“I love you too Twilight, I want your foals, I want you to cum with me. Cum my love!” as Cadance gasped out that last sentence, they both redoubled their efforts and with one more thrust Cadance came her tight pussy muscles tightening around Twilight’s shaft Pushing Twilight Over the edge, semen burst from Twilight’s cock as the tip flared and pried apart Cadance’s cervix filling her womb with hot seed as both mares arched against each other in bliss Cadance and Twilight’s own pussy squirting and running down their thighs as wet mare cum pooled on the bed, raw magic burst from their horns as they came. Cadance collapsed panting, Twilight rolled her on top again holding her as Cadance’s hooves and head resting on Twilight’s chest and thoughtTwilight is my mare. No my stallion, my wife and husband, my everything!

Twilight also panting, both mares temporarily out of breath. Twilight weakly wrapped her legs around Cadance tighter as she pulled the mare closer into one last kiss before letting Cadance lay on her chest. Twilight’s now flaccid cock slipping from Cadance’s pussy as it tried to keep all of Twilight’s seed inside herself.

I really did it! She’s mine, she’s mine now and nopony will take her from me. I’ll protect her, I promise BBBFF and I’ll find out what happened to you! Twilight thought as she pulled the covers over them.

“I love you Cadance, goodnight” Twilight said as she kissed Cadance under her horn.

Cadance snuggled closer returning the kiss on Twilight’s forehead. “I love you too Twilight.”

Exhausted from their amorous activity, they both soon fell into a blissful sleep.

******

Meanwhile in Luna’s bedroom ensuite bathroom she sat on the bathroom floor her head in the toilet her hooves set upon the seat as she puked her guts out. I haven’t had any alcohol last night why am I being sick? her pupils shrunk, as it hit her, she closed the bathroom door, took out a pregnancy test and used it.

after waiting 10 minutes pacing about the bathroom puking every so often in the toilet. She picked it up in her magic her pupils dilated as she eyed the positive test! It began shaking in her magic as her right eye twitched. All over the palace an inarticulate scream that sounded almost like “‘Tia!” made it’s way to those inside the palace.

******

Inside Celestia waited on her sister, unaware of just how screwed she was until, she heard a scream before a wild burst of magic popped up next to her violently. Revealing an angry Luna glaring and panting in rage.

“Good morning Lulu, Sleep well?” Celestia asked before Luna’s magic shoved the positive test in front of her.

“Don’t you ‘good morning’ me, ‘Tia! You got me pregnant! You better take responsibility for this or so help me I am going to make sure Mom finds out. Damn the consequences to myself!”

Celestia promptly collapsed on the floor, because she had impregnated her sister.

“Celestia, don’t think you’ll escape responsibility by feinting!” Luna shouted stomping her hoof glaring at the lump before her before dumping a bucket of ice water on her sister. The effect was immediate Luna’s wings flared in a wingboner as Celestia’s wet mane plastered against the pregnant mare.

“Faust dammit!” Luna grumbled.

Twilight became aware of warm, soft and very comfortable sensations enveloping her as she blearily opened her eyes. Looking around, she eventually caught the sight of the window. The curtains were open and Celestia had risen the sun in her drunken slumber. It was too late for Twilight to realise her blunder as the sunlight proceeded to blind her sleep-sensitive eyes. Gah! My eyes! Twilight quickly covered her face with her hooves to protect them, she began to roll away from the sun, gently rubbing her eyes and groaning because of the pain of her eyes being suddenly exposed to the bright solar light.

A midnight blue wing covered her as two strong arms pulled her close, shielding her from the light that poured through the window without a care for ponies who were still asleep or who had just gotten up. However this reprieve was short lived as she eventually became aware of the throbbing headache that was now competing with the pain in her eyes for attention. Twilight groaned. Why!?

As the pain in her eyes had subsided Twilight noted she was still in Celestia’s room, from her position though it seemed as if Mother Yay! First time and I got it right! had put her in Celestia’s bed. I really need to remember to refer to her as Auntie and just after I got Mother right, perhaps i jinxed it. But that aside, it is difficult. I mean, I have always called her princess— Wait! I have been calling her Celestia! When did that happen? Moreover why would I stop referring to her as princess? Shaking her head as she put those two new questions on the ever increasing pile of questions that needed answering in the foreseeable future.

Twilight carefully tried to shift so she could see the foot of Celestia’s bed. A difficult task when your Mother’s wings are in the way! As she struggled she took in the view of the curtains framing the view between the four oak posts like a theatre stage obscuring the rest of the room, and beyond that was Celestia’s desk covered in scrolls, letters and other documents. Sitting at the desk laying face down was Princess Celestia, she still wore her regalia.

I’ll have to ask how Celestia and Luna— grrr! Auntie and Mother could sleep in them. Twilight sighed. I still have to inform my adoptive parents that I know now, so they can stop the charade. I bet they’ll be happy to be rid of me. In fact the moment I was old enough to do magic they practically kicked me out. Signed me up to Celestia’s school for gifted unicorns and that acceptance letter was received far too quickly for my tastes.

The school was dorm room only so had I passed the entrance exam I would have moved out anyway. Did they actually love me or were they pretending? I mean according to Auntie Celestia they had me for up to 2 years before I was accepted at her school as her personal student, and then after I spent the last 20 or so years studying and living at the castle, and only going home on the holidays or in my case leaving home for the holidays.

At least I can be certain Shiny cares. I mean he was definitely there for me all the time. Well that is till high school. When he basically started paying attention to my sister. Huh? That was easier to say than I thought. Calling Celestia Auntie or Luna Mother was proving difficult, but it wasn’t when calling Cadence Sister.

It just rolled off my tongue. Although to be fair Cadence was like a big sister to me, when I was a little filly she treated me like a little sister. Any way I am getting off track. Well if they did want me then I’ll find out when I tell them. As Twilight broke out of her deep introspection and continued to look at Celestia. She noticed that next to the princess, wrapped in her slumbering arms was the bottle of cider they had last night.

Taking her eyes off Celestia Twilight’s eyes moved around the room as she could do nothing else what with being trapped in the vice grip of her mother who was still deep asleep.

Twilight turned to look at her mother “Luna? Luna wake up. Luna~!” Twilight exasperatedly threw up her hooves. Laying back down on the pillow, Unbeknownst to Twilight Luna was very much awake only pretending to still be sleep. A smirk formed on her lips. Which quickly disappeared as Twilight turned back to her. Maybe, nuzzling will help? Twilight brought her face to Luna’s and began nuzzling at her face, “Mother?” Luna smirked and sniggered quietly. Twilight tried again nuzzling more roughly. “Mother, wake up!” Luna’s eyes flew open as Twilight came in for a third nuzzle she was instead met with a hoof.

“Boop!” a large grin plastered on Luna’s face belied her mirth as the unexpected boop on Twilight’s nose sent her into frenzied thrashing as Luna let go of Twilight. She spazzed out causing her to reach the edge which in turn increased her flailing as she tried to stop herself from falling. She sent herself falling off over the edge of the bed in her desperate struggle with Twilight landing upside down, her tail falling between her hind legs hiding her shame as legs which were currently up in the air flailed as she tried to right herself.

Luna crawled over to the edge of her bed a look of concern on her face which melted away when she saw that Twilight was okay. Luna burst out laughing as a huffy unicorn glared at her from the floor. Twilight groaned as she got up. Dusting herself off. As she was about to tell Luna off for doing that to her, a snort to her left interrupted her.

Celestia spoke in her sleep “No cake! I am supposed to eat you, not you eat me!”

Twilight stood there for a moment processing the absurdity of what she just heard from Celestia. Then she looked at Luna who still had a grin on her face, finally they both start laughing.

“Pfft Tia!” Luna cried out.

“Ow— my sides” Twilight added as they continued to laugh.

Another snort announced Celestia’s return from dream land. “Huh? whut? Where’s the pony eating cake?”

“Good morning Tia!” Luna called cheerfully.

Celestia groaned “I am never eating cake and drinking again!” Celestia sighed bringing a hoof to her forehead, “Oh who am I kidding of course I’ll do it again and then I’ll swear that I won’t again … .”

Slowly Celestia turned to see her sister grinning from ear to ear as she sat watching her. Grumbling to herself Celestia got up wobbled as she tried to regain her balance. Celestia’s horn started to glow after a few moments a golden glow washed over her body.

“That’s better I am glad you invented that hangover cure spell Lulu. Shall we go get breakfast?”

“You go ahead Auntie I need to speak to Mother. We’ll be there soon.” Twilight said Celestia just shrugged as she went towards the door a golden glow encasing the handles as they flew open. Twilight turned to Luna who was looking nervous.

Twilight trotted up towards Luna and embraced her. “First off Mother cast that hangover spell on me.” Luna smirked but complied as the spell completed Twilight breathed a sigh of relief “Now for the matter at hoof Mother, who is my father?”

Luna froze stiff as Twilights question rocked her very being. “Clover— the clever.” A blush filled Luna’s face. As Twilight’s jaw unhinged and fell to the floor. Luna continued “Remember that hearth’s warming eve pageant. I chose you for that role, you look so much like her.” Luna held her hoof to Twilight’s face. “I am sure she’d be proud of you.”

“But how!? She’s a mare, that’s just what!?” Twilight asked flustered at yet another revelation.

“Let’s just say we found a way and leave it at that. Let’s get to breakfast before Tia devours it all!” Luna blushed again as she cantered off in a hurry sparing a glance behind her every so often making sure Twilight was following. Twilight hurried along to keep up with Luna.

As they followed the labyrinthine corridors that filled the castle, they were silent during the journey Luna due to the embarrassment and Twilight the shock of finding out her Father was not only one of the founders of Equestria, Star swirl’s apprentice and a mare.

They reached their destination, the white door with gold curved and spiralling inlay that filled it was closed encased in Luna’s glow the doors were pulled open and then closed as Twilight followed her through, in the center of room a long table with three throne like chairs two on one end of the table and one on the other, where Celestia sat cup of tea in her magic. A newspaper hovering in front of her, as she dug at her large stack of pancakes.

“You finally made it, I was afraid I’d end up dining on my own.” Celestia glanced over her newspaper a grin forming on her lips as she noticed Luna’s still blushing face. “Looks like you told her then.” It was more of a statement than a question, but it was enough to cause Luna’s blush to deepen. Both Twilight and Luna sat down at the other end Luna in the throne chair and Twilight next to her in the smaller chair.

Twilight began to levitate several pancakes to her plate and proceeded to put some butter on top and some drizzle maple syrup over it as well. Luna fidgeted and began to gather her own breakfast from the assortment. If only to beat back the embarrassment she felt.

Luna turned to Twilight, was eating her pancakes. “Have you decided on when you’re going to inform your adoptive parents?

Twilight looked up at Luna, grimace found its way amongst her features “I shall tell them soon.” The obvious venom in her voice caused Luna to flinch while Celestia nearly lost her cup and fork out of her magic.

“Twilight, why are you treating them with such contempt?” Celestia ask worry in her voice.

Twilight turned to answer Celestia her grimace turning into a glare that could melt steel. “They never wanted me and as soon as I was able to do magic they essentially kicked me out! Sure going to your school was a dream of mine, but how long ago did they have me registered that acceptance letter came exactly after I had just learnt how to turn a book page with my magic! How long had they been wanting to be rid of me?” Twilight broke down in sobs as Luna quickly got out of her chair and pulled Twilight into a comforting hug.

“Shh, shh, it’s okay, we’re here for you.” Luna cooed as she held Twilight rubbing her hoof along her back in a soothing gesture. Twilight leaned into the hug and nuzzle Luna’s neck. How long has it been since Twilight Velvet or Night Light had held her like this? As she searched her memories she had found that no such comfort existed outside of interactions with Shiny or Cadence and Celestia. Was I just a burden to them? These thoughts coupled with the revelation that indeed they had never cared at all save for just keeping me alive. Twilight continued to cry as Lu— no her Mother comforted her. She wrapped her hooves around her Mother.

Celestia wore a dour expression. It seems my trust in them was misplaced, well I best send a letter to Cadence and Shining. Twilight needs as much support as possible. Hang on I am missing something wasn’t there somepony else here. at that moment Spike burst in and rushed toward Twilight and with a jump joined the hug with Twilight and her mother Luna.

“Twilight are you okay?” Spike asked concern laced his voice.

“No Spike I am not. I find out I adopted, I then find out that Luna is my Mother and Celestia is my Aunt.” Luna and Celestia both wince at their part in this mess. ”Then I find out that I can melt through marble if I’m embarrassed enough. Oh and my father was Clover the Clever, a mare. As if those revelations weren’t trying enough I discover that now that I analyse it, my adoptive parents wanted to get rid of me the first chance they got! It’s just too much. And now that I think about it why did you need to put me into stasis Auntie? You’re an alicorn you could have protected me. Or pretended to be my Mother.”

Celestia cleared her throat as she began to answer. “I couldn’t, I was too weak from the battle with my sister and the use of the elements. I could barely stand let alone cast the spells I would have had to cast to defend you and finally I didn’t pretend that you were my daughter because if I had done so for 1000 years and then told you who your real mother is or have her tell you, it was too hard to bear the thought that you’d hate me. I’m sorry I was so selfish!” Celestia broke down sobbing tears staining her coat. Twilight slowly trotted over to Celestia’s side. She held her and the both of them broke down crying again Though I am upset at her, it doesn’t mean I can’t comfort her. Celestia sniffed “So that is why. Many may claim I could have won but not like that, not with how weakened I was. We maybe immortal but we aren’t invulnerable.”

“It’s okay Auntie.” Twilight nuzzled into Celestia’s neck “I forgive you.” Twilight sniffed as once again Celestia broke down into tears. After a few moments Celestia’s face hardened. “They shall pay for hurting you Twilight.” Celestia said angry smashing a hoof into the dining table causing pancakes to fly over them and Twilight to flinch due to her proximity.

Twilight looked up at Celestia she was about to say something when a posh whine came from behind them as a white unicorn with a blonde mane. “Auntie!” Blueblood whined as everyone face hoofed. In stormed Blueblood as he extricated himself from his brief interaction with pancakes that stuck to his face.

“Augh! Who let that commoner back in here? What was her name Twit wit Spankle” Blueblood questioned pointing a hoof in the direction of Twilight.

Twilight Glowered at Blueblood “That’s Twilight Sparkle to you, Blueblood and I am a buck mothering Princess, I made a lot of friends to earn this title. I deserve to be called such.” a smug smile replacing the tears that still stained her face. As Blueblood stood there agape scoffing at Twilight "A title earned does not one royalty make. Out of my sight peasant filth!" disgust clearly expressed on his face.

“Twilight! Language young fillies don’t swear!” Luna admonished, causing Twilight to flinch her ears laid flat against her head. Shortly she started glaring at Blueblood. Meanwhile Celestia snickered. Earning a brief glare herself.

“Auntie surely you didn’t make her a princess!?” Blueblood looked pleadingly at Celestia who returned a glare at him not in the mood to deal with the princeling.

“I didn’t make Twilight a princess.” The prince sighed in relief. “She was a princess long before you were born and let it be known that Twilight is my blood related niece!” A satisfied smile danced across Celestia’s lips as she watched the princeling open and shut his mouth doing an impressive impression of a goldfish.

Luna interjected “And Twilight is my daughter Blueblood!” Before levelling a cold glare at the prince that could freeze boiling lava. “You will treat her with respect a full princess of Equestria deserves!”

Prince Blueblood looked like he was about to argue when Celestia held a hoof out to stop him “Do not even bother trying to argue with us, soon her Alicorn form will return and she will be whole again.”

Blueblood galloped out of the room, spouting curses. Twilight was the first to say something “How is it that a piece of trash like Blueblood is a prince?” Twilight asked no pony in particular.

Celestia still answered well he is the prince of the unicorns, Commander Spitfire is the leader of the Pegasi and Mayor mare is the leader of the earth ponies. They all trace their lineage back to the founders of Equestria prince Blueblood was a descendant of Princess platinum unfortunately this fact has made him grow up into an arrogant foal—”

Luna picked up where Celestia left off “—Our friend princess Platinum was arrogant just like Blueblood. However our friendship tamed her somewhat. However not many ponies have my patience and as such Blueblood doesn’t have friends who look past or help him with his arrogance. Don’t ever let your lineage turn into an arrogant pony my daughter remember your friends and remember your family.”

“My friends!! I have to tell them I am okay!” Luna smiled down at Twilight.

“It is okay Twilight, Celestia sent them a letter to inform them right Tia?” Celestia tried to hide behind her wings, a sheepish smile upon her face.

“I kinda forgot. Sorry.” Celestia said apologetically as Luna face hoofed again and sighed in exasperation.

“Well it looks like we get to write the letter then.” Luna said turning to Twilight who conjured a scroll, quill and ink. All levitating in her magic.

“Well if you’ll excuse me I have to oversee squabbling nobles and sycophants in the day court.” Celestia leant over and nuzzled Twilight and then her Sister.

“Take care you two. Oh you might want to invite Cadence and Shining Armor as well.” Celestia winked back at Twilight.

“Let’s get to it then, Mom!” Twilight exclaimed as she brought quill to parchment.

“Mom!?” Luna sputtered.

“Well yes you are my Mother, however I felt it was too formal and stiff for my liking. So I am just going to call you Mom because it’s more casual and familiar.” Twilight beamed as she explained herself to Luna.

Spike asked “Princess seeing as Twilight is my sister is it okay if I call you Mom too.”

Luna considered it for a couple of seconds her head down and brought a hoof to her chin. “Okay you may Spike.” Luna replied Spike jumped up and wrapped his little arms around Luna’s neck in a hug. Luna draped her left foreleg around Spike to hug him back.

“Well okay then. Let’s get on with this letter.” Luna replied then cleared her throat.

In the frozen north Shining Armor was inside the Crystal Palace’s dining hall, eating corn dogs. Best invention since the Mare Light. As he bit into one as a loud fillyish squeal erupted causing him to choke on the corn dog he had just bitten off, after a few tries dislodging it himself and aid from one of the crystal pony guards. He gasped for precious air. Coughing in between breaths.

“Soldier, come with me!” Shining ordered the guard who had helped him. It sounded like it came from the throne room.

Racing to the throne room Shining sweated from nerves. The guard bringing up the rear.

They reach the throne room doors and burst through, Cadence sat at the end of the room on the throne a letter floating in her light blue magic. Shining rushed by the many windows as he reached Cadence’s side.

“Cadence honey? What’s wrong?” he ask placing his hoof to her cheek concern evident in his voice.

“Oh nothing’s wrong Shiny! It couldn’t be better! I finally got my Sister back!” Cadence squee’d.

Shining armor scratched at his neck. “Who is this sister? I don’t remember you mentioning her.” Shining asked thoroughly confused.

“Oh Shiny don’t be silly you’ve known her for most of her life. It’s Twilight.”

Shining backed away a bit to look her in the eyes.

“Cadence, Twilight’s my sister.” He looked at her as if she was going crazy.

“Oh, Shiny I am not crazy. I am surprised that your mother and father never told you. Twilight Sparkle is adopted, her real mother was my mother, Princess Luna!”

“What!? I’m not Twilight’s bbbff?” Shining deflated and was lost in thought when Cadence booped him on the nose.

“Silly, you’re still her bbbff. Nothing can change that and she’s going to need us more than ever. I mean look at it this way if you’re freaking out imagine how Twilight is taking the news?”

“Celestia’s beard!” Canterlot is in danger. Shining Armor grabbed Cadence’s hoof and her emergency luggage and dragged her to the Crystal empire train station.

“I’m coming Twily!— Please don’t go on a rampage!” Shining said panting as he ran through the castle corridors. Cadence sighed and rolled her eyes as Shining levitated her behind him.
