My Luna Love

I didn't realize rough sex was tiring until the morning after. When I woke up, I couldn't even open my damn eyes. I wanted to see the mare of my world in my arms. I did what Celestia asked, not dreaming, and woke up with newer memories trying to sort themselves out. I knew that two plus two equals five, the equation that is involved in solving that as well. I guess I asked too much, but now I knew that I owed something of her.

Feeling like I had to bring it up with Luna sometime or another, I feel like now though was not a good time. It was still dark, which meant I had woken up early. I was always the early riser, I don't think Luna will ever wake up before me. The men in my family often woke up early to work on the farm we used to own. We owned ten acres of land, but ended up selling it six years before my birth so I never got to see it, didn't mind either. I hated farms because of the way they smelled. Now, don't get me wrong, I love chickens, cows, and even horses, however, I hated the smell they made. Not now since I am in Equestria, because Luna couldn't smell any better.

"I know you're awake now." I heard Luna say softly. "Your faster breathing woke me up."

"I'm sorry I woke you up." I said, finally able to open my eyes. "How ya feeling love?"

She gave a wide yawn and slapped her lips a few times. "I feel a little sore." Luna chuckled. "But that was expected from my punishment. I'm glad you went easy on me and did make full use of the table."

"I nearly did." I smirked. Even though her wings and back were against my chest, I could tell she knew I was smiling by the easy tone of my voice. "How'd you sleep?"

"Like a little kitten, thank you for asking. I didn't see you last night, how come?"

"I don't think I have full control over my dreams quite yet Luna. Unlike you, I used to be mortal." She laughed at that and bumped me with her left wing, Luna slept on her right. I am glad she couldn't tell that I was lying.

"Did Tia speak to you? Is that why you came back?"

"Yeah, she offered me knowledge that I needed for this world that you were unable to give me from lack of experience...sorry."

Luna turned in her spot, but didn't free herself from my hold. "Has she asked you of anything?"

"Not that I am aware of." I answered. "Are there deals made when mortals ask powerful beings like you something?"

Luna snorted and laughed, shaking her head. "No, but it is nice to get something in return for our hard work. Granting knowledge, wisdom, power, wealth, it takes time and energy. Humans - no offence - are greedy, and greed has a price to pay, we make the price as we see fit. Now, the only price to have me was to live with me, and you've already paid for that. I was just thinking that you'd need general knowledge of our world in order to function properly."

I nodded at her explanation. It made sense in a few ways, but I wonder what Celestia wants from me. I think I'll take a trip to see her at some point. After Luna explained a little more to me about Equestria, it helped line some memories in the proper order. I was glad that my head wasn't buzzing trying to put everything Celestia and Luna gave me into the right order.

As soon as I saw the sun rise into the blue sky I got up from the bed, but Luna seemed to protest that idea. "Luna," I said in a soft voice. "I need to take a shower. I smell like sex and you."

Luna sighed and let go of my tail. "Most stallions would die to smell like us."

"I used to be a human, so there's that."

"Maybe I should make you forget that."

"Then you would be getting rid of what makes me, and I'm sure you don't want that now."

She again sighed, this time in deeper defeat. "You are correct, go, take your shower. I'll be here, alone..." Bitch found her own way to get back at me.

I rolled my eyes and started the shower after a little work. I was happy that I finally got to take a shower, finally able to smell like I tried to look good. After I took my suit off I swore I wouldn't wear it again until I smell a little better. So I stood under the shower, glad to feel the warm drops hitting my ash fur. I collected my thoughts and reviewed my judgments up to this point. I had told Luna I loved her, I gave her my word and I must keep it at all costs, even if it means death.

My family has a long line of those who followed loyalty into battle. We fought with pride and honor knowing who we served for. Our family crest was a pair of gold lions holding up a sword over a shield. I think I understood why Luna chose the sword now. I wasn't just her champion, but she allowed to keep a part of my strong family with me. In my family the men dawned the armor that gave protection not just from our foes but our minds so we were never corrupted and drew the sword the cut down any challenge we faced. If we couldn't get things to work, we made it work, whether by force or smashing it until it did. The women cooked the food that fueled us, bared us the children that would serve to protect. For a while, before England took over, we served as knights to the royal bloodline. We were forced to step down after they took control, and became peasants. Our armor began to rust and our swords became dull.

I looked down at my hooves. No, no longer were we forced to deal with misfortune, Lady Luck saw that we or at least I earned to serve. We showed no matter how far we are taken down, no matter how badly we are beaten, we get up, and we keep moving in hopes to serve who we lost all those generations ago. I brought back the pride of the lions, I had the power of the sword, and I would defend Luna to my very death. This was my destiny, I was meant for this.

"Arís muid ag ardú, agus beidh beo ar. De réir mo ainm, beidh muid ag dul ar ais an méid a chaill muid fada ó shin.(We again rise, and will live on. By my name, we will get back what we lost long ago.)" I whispered, and the fires were fueled from the dying sparks they were. Now, they were a bonfire that touched the moon.

I slowly turned the water off, and waited as I dripped off the water from my now shining coat. I used for the soap made me look like I was a mirror. I looked in the mirror next to me, and saw that my small scruff around my face grew a little, making me frown. I liked beards, good beards. By now, I had to make a mental to-do list. Luna was at the top if you get what I mean?

Nah, I had a boat load of shit to do before I could jump on her again. Besides...I think that now that we're closer, we should start thinking about taking things a little slowly. It would be a good idea, because rushed relationships fail hard. I wanted this to work, I wanted to know that my choice to move here was a good idea.

I stroked my beard and sighed. Maybe they have a barber here, that'd be nice. A quick visit to the good ole professional barber would do me some wonders. I didn't want to look like I was a hobo, not that I had anything against hobos. I remember reading a book called The Legend of Hobo, and it was amazing. It was too bad that the author had to cancel his next book. I wanted to read more of the misadventures of Hobo and his fucked up crew. Rambling again...

So I figured I spent enough time in the bathroom, didn't want Luna thinking I was fooling around with myself when I had her. I guess she was sort of like a dude. I had a feeling she loved the shit out of sex. When I opened the door, Luna was still on the bed, but she held a book over her head with her beautiful blue magic.

"I'm done if you want a go." I said, pointing a hoof to the bathroom. "Might be a wise idea, now I smell sex from you."

She didn't respond until she flipped the page. Once she found her bookmark, she sighed and set the thing down on her nightstand, or was it daystand? "I should shouldn't I?" She asked and I nodded at her. "I might...but I won't." Her horn flashed and the whole room, including her didn't smell like sex anymore. "Now, shut up and come snuggle with me."

I rolled my eyes and laughed as I made my way to our bed. "That's cheating and you know it Luna."

"It's cheating because you don't know how to do it."

"Do you ever take showers?"

"I distaste showers to be quite honest. Does nopony take a good, relaxing bath at all anymore?"

"Do you?"

"Why of course!" Luna said in disbelief. "Baths are the holy grail of relaxation. One would be sent to Tartarus if I heard they hate baths."

I smirked. "I could say the same over showers. It's like feeling rain wash over you, but warm and comforting. Washing your worries away and down the drain, never to be felt again."

"Whatever..." Her horn glowed and stopped in a fraction of a second, causing her to sigh. "Sister is calling us for breakfast, but I do not want to move much. Carry me...." I gave her this look I cannot today describe. "Please?"

"Uggh....Fine, but only because I love you..." I picked her up and over my back. She wasn't that heavy, but she still carried some weight. "You're heavy-Ow Fuck!" She clipped my ear for that.

"Don't call me fat!" She barked and we both laughed.

"You're going to pay for that. Any time, Karma will strike."

"Karma wouldn't touch me. She doesn't have the ovaries to do so." Is that seriously what mares called that, or women in general? Instead of balls they go for the next best thing. "Besides, I know I am light. It is the pegasus part of me."

"So what exactly are you? I know you're a goddess and an alicorn, but I've yet to actually know that."

"Alicorns are all three tribes in one harmonious body. We have the strength of an earth pony, the magic of a unicorn, and wings of a pegasus. Tia and I saw fit that beings such as us should be apart of all instead of one would show that we do not pick favorites."

"Favorites?" I asked questionably.

She sighed. "No...We wanted to represent harmony between all three in order to help bring unity."

"Much better." I knew Luna was joking about the favorites, but I had to ask a question. "So, are unicorns your favorite?"

"Where did you get that idea?"

"I'm a unicorn, you seem pretty content with me being on."

"Actually, pegasi are my favorite." She said. "I was hoping you would've picked that because you would get wings."

"I thought about that. Ah well, in another dimension I am." I shrugged with her on my back.

While we or I walked down the hall, guards of both kinds were either giving me a confused look, or like most of the night guard, cheering me on. I puffed my chest out in pride, I threw the hook, and Luna was my catch. Only had to wait four years, but I think now that wait was well worth it. Not sure about all the pain I went through.

As we entered I saw Mean Peach standing off to the side, nodding to me as we entered. I was glad that I ate my veggies last night, or that would have been bad. Celestia was sitting quietly, drinking a cup of creamed coffee. While I enjoyed the tainted liquid, I preferred it black and not cream and sugared. When she saw me carry Luna through the door she shook her head and laughed at her sister.

"Here I thought you grew out of that." Celestia said, nodding to a guard and he walked to the back.

Luna slid off my back and shook her head. "I shall never grow from trying to be a little lazy." When she tried to take a step forward, she fell right over, landing on her face. I winced as I went to aid her.

"Fun night last night?" She joked.

"You could say that Tia." Luna winked at me and trotted over to her spot at the table. "Any news for me today?"

One could hear a needle drop. Celestia gave a harsh sigh. "Blue Blood has come back early. Apparently, his visit to Griffindale got him banished."

Luna hit her face with her hoof and sighed just has bad. I looked to Celestia and asked. "Is he really that bad?"

"He can be compared to a dragon when it comes to his greed and pride. He looks down upon everypony as if they were ants."

"What a dick..." I said under my breath.

"AUNTY! I'M HOME!"

"I wish I never gave birth to his millennium father..." Celestia cursed herself.

The doors to the dining hall opened up to a while stallion with blue mane. His eyes were gold while my eyes were still ice blue. I noticed then, we were opposites. Our entire forms were the negatives of one another. I stood up from my chair and bowed to him.

"Hello, I am Angel Caster, it is a pleasure to meet you Prince Blue Blood." I looked up at him, his eyes showed hate towards me.

"Greetings." He walked past me without another word. He sat near Celestia and was silent.

I got up from the bow and sighed. "So, how was your trip to...um..."

"Griffindale." Celestia said.

"Yes, that, how was it?"

"It was fine until the king threw me out and banished me from return." He snorted and looked to Celestia. "Aunty, who is this fool?"

"This fool is Luna's special somepony Blue, be nice to him."

He looked shocked. "Is this true?" He asked Luna with disbelief.

"He is Blue, and we love each other very much." Luna nodded and so did I. "We would like for you to be nice to him since he is going to be living with us."

Blue Blood frowned but nodded. "I shall tolerate him...for now."

"That is all we ask of you." Celestia sighed in relief. I could tell she felt like the rest of us. We have dodged a bullet that could bounce back. It all depends if we can keep pushing it back. I knew far too well how to suck up to people like him, all it took was a little work.

"Blue Blood, how good are you at magic?" I asked. "If you are a prince, I would like to know if you are good at casting."

I saw a small smirk. "I am more than good. I have won several duels and tournaments over the years."

"I assume you have medals to prove this?" I asked and he nodded. "And I'm sure that you have some interesting battle stories."

"I might." He nodded. "What of you? Are you good with a sword?"

I smiled a little. "My family has a long line of swordsponies. We are masters of the sword."

"Perhaps someday we should prove this." He said just as our breakfast came in.

Breakfast was boring, not much was said after word. I didn't like the tone he carried while we talked before we ate, but I need to keep a good standing between us. If I am going to be living with him around, it is best I keep the act up. Even if he should hate me, I will not fight back unless my life or family name is on the line. I was the last, I had to keep up the example that we were great.

Luna had to go do some princess stuff so I sat quietly in our room. Now was my chance to practice my sword skills as a pony The room was big enough to go through the six different forms I knew. There were seven forms of the sword, but my father was unable to teach me the last because I moved. They were classified by todays' standard RPG games. There was the Thief, Knight, Paladin, King, Balanced, Page, and my favorite the Master. Each stance was different in its own way, and allowed different battle moves. Back on earth, each had an 'ability' that allowed the user to win nearly every battle. I never believed these 'abilities' actually allowed my ancestors to win the battles. They had armies of thousands of men and some infertile women. For logical reasons, they didn't like useless people. Women who couldn't bare children were told to join the army. We never wasted a single thing.

I was a master at the Master, the Knight, and the Thief. I knew all but the King because only those worthy enough may learn it. I was never worthy of such, I knew this well. So I started moving through the knight stance. I couldn't get far though due to the lack of balance I had on my back two legs. Saddened, I stopped and put down the small blade I found on Luna's fireplace at the far end of the room.

I fell over to the bed and rubbed my face with my hooves. "Conas is féidir liom a chleachtadh más rud é nach dóigh liom go bhfuil lámha?(How can I practice if I have no hands?)" I asked no one in particular.

"Maybe if you learned how to use magic, you might know." I heard the old voice of Peach. "Hello again Angel."

"You again?" I joked. "Haven't seen you in a short while."

"Yes, well I've been quite busy looking after you."

I rolled my eyes. "I am an adult Peach, I don't think I need to be 'looked over'."

She walked over and slapped me across the face. "Shut your mouth child." She shouted. "You are still the baby I knew when I held you in my arms."

I raised a brow. "What are you talking about?"

"Have you already forgotten your grandmother?!"

"What?"

She grunted. "I'm Gaila!"

"What? No way..." I shook my head. "You're dead, I'm tired or something..."

She slapped me again two more times and pushed me off the bed. "AM I STILL DEAD YOU STUPID CHILD!?"

I got up and checked my mouth for blood, who knew the dead could hit so hard. "Then how come on one else can see you?" She was an earth pony with a lion on her flank. There was no way she could use a spell to keep herself in visible.

"Because I am dead you dumb idiot! Family ghosts are called as such for a reason. Dear gods and goddesses...." She cursed. "I had to pull every string I could to get here ya doof..."

"So why are you here?"

"Because you need some help. You're so stupid you can't even use magic."

"Luna's work'n on it grandma... She said she'd get Princess Twilight to teach me."

She rolled her eyes and sat down. "Not that magic sweet heart... You got a sword over there... and you got no way how to use it." I saw her smile a little and she sighed. "I need to get goin'. Be good now, and eat'cha veggies."

"Yes Oh'mah..." I can't believe that I had forgotten she was called Peach. In fact, Peach was her middle name.

I knew now what next I had to do. I looked over at the blue steel blade, wondering why it hummed in my hold earlier. The door made a click before opening and Luna had a smile on her face. I gave her one and she met me on the bed. I fell back with her in my arms and sighed.

"I want to be a knight Luna." I said. "It has been to long since I've held a sword in my hands or hooves."

She nodded. "That can be done, after you learn magic."

"I do not need magic if I could use a sword..." Once again I looked at my hooves. "Swords here are more alive here than on earth. I see the guards with swords, and I hear them."

"The guards?"

"No, their swords. Some hate their masters while others just let themselves get used."

Luna laughed. "A sword whisperer, ha!"

"Yeah....sword whisperer..."
