The Kingdom of the Sun - A New Crystal Heart

There was a very large list that contained the name of every person and pony living who taught that Sunset Shimmer biggest fault was her pride and Sunset herself would agree with them. Pride itself wasn’t wrong, Princess Celestia told her back when she still listened to her, after all one had to be feel pride on their own work, to feel proud about accomplishments, it helped with self-esteem and self-worth because if you don’t feel like you are worthy how can you expect the same from others?

Of course, everything was for naught when Sunset Shimmer took those words to the extreme and threw Celestia’s teaching on the Princess’ face when she demanded to be turned into a princess without being worthy of the ascension. It was a bitter pill to swallow, almost as bitter as the rainbow she was hit with; but in the end Sunset Shimmer gained more in that lesson than what she gained by being a spoiled brat.

Sunset Shimmer learned to take pride on her work and the way she helped others, on her grades and accomplishments on the human world that she considered her home now; she also took pride on the way her brain worked, quickly finding answers to problems and analyzing data that rivaled Twilight Sparkle, so it was quite comical to see her usual lightning fast brain be derailed by a couple of words.

Nothing that Sunset had lived through had shocked her like this, and she had battled monsters and eldritch abominations, once she could use the full power of her gray matter she would catalogue the feeling so she would be able to react faster, but for now poor Sunset finally knew what they meant by ‘breaking someone’s brain’ and it was not fun.

“Like you heard Sunset Shimmer, I need you to gather all the lovers you can” the gorgeous magical woman said as if she had told Sunset something completely normal like talking about the weather.

“Wait… why? I mean, that makes no sense whatsoever!” the teenager said jumping from her chair before pointing with a finger to the physical representation of Harmony.

“Of course it does, tell me, what the responsibility of Princess Mi Amore Cadenza is in the Crystal Kingdom?” the ebony haired beauty said slowly crossing one leg over the other making Sunset’s eyes follow the movement; the teenager shook her head to get out of the trance so she could think on an answer.

“Cadence is the Princess of Love… is it related to the Crystal Kingdom and the Heart?” Sunset told her guest connecting the dots now that she had some new info about the powerful artifact. For answer Harmony giggled and clapped a few times in joy.

“I knew you were perfect to be my agent, you are correct Sunset; Cadenza is a direct descendant of the original Crystal Kingdom royal family, all the females of the family have been connected in one way or another to the Crystal Heart, they protected and nurtured it, in return the Crystal Heart blessed them with the power to touch other people’s hearts” she said giving incredible information to Sunset who before that knew what Princess Twilight had researched from her original visit to the Crystal Kingdom.

It was quite shameful that almost everything to do with the Crystal Heart had been hidden or destroyed by Sombra; decades and centuries of research lost when the Kingdom was taken by the Umbrum, but with Harmony simply being capable of telling Sunset all of that it was as if she had found a gold mine, and she was sure that the Princess (all of them really) would be so jealous of this opportunity.

“So they all got special abilities? Were they related to their cutie mark like Cadence’s? I mean, her cutie mark IS the Crystal Heart”

“Yes, they were all tied together, but among them the Heart always chose a special pony, there was only one in existence, only after its death the Heart searched for a successor, a pony that represented the pure power of the Heart”

“The magic of Love” Sunset felt as if every puzzle piece were falling on its place so they could create a full picture “Cadence always had that affinity, to be able to see people in love, but even more than that, she was capable of calculating how much love two ponies could love each other to the point of seeing their future and the consequences of their romance, she made it look almost like a science, are you telling me that all that was because of the Crystal Heart?”

“Correct again, the Crystal Heart feeds on love so of course the Princess of the Crystal Kingdom could use the power of love; it was a give and take relationship until Sombra appeared and screwed everything up” Harmony told Sunset stretching her arms upwards, this action had a very clear reaction, that of Harmony’s toga-like attire to be stretched across her chest to the point of being translucent and Sunset found out that Harmony had no clothes under that toga; it was so stretched that Sunset could see the contour of her breasts, the darker areola making a very interesting contrast to the milky white skin of Harmony.

Sunset gulped saliva quickly before moving her gaze back to her desk and the still opened book on top of it, she tried to read a passage on it just so she could forget the way Harmony’s nipples were tenting the fabric, although it was clear she failed.

“That’s why I need you Sunset, you are the only human being that has touched my heart, your power and presence woke me from my deep slumber and helped me regain my dormant power but is still not enough, to be able to become as powerful as my sister in Equestria I need the power of a Crystal Heart, one that belongs to this world, without it I fear that what happened at your school’s Friendship Games will simply happen again, this time by itself”

“Okay, that is scary”

“Indeed, the magic of Equestria is mixing with the energy of this dimension, but without a powerful artifact like the Crystal Heart it will go out of control and other people will suffer its changing effects just like poor Twilight”

“And considering that everyone has a double on this side I shudder to think what would happen to Discord’s version in this universe… fine, I’ll help you even though I have no idea what I am supposed to do” Sunset said with one hand over her eyes knowing full well that everything will end up in a mess for her; Harmony for her part was too happy about her savoir accepting that she got up from the bed and clapped.

“Don’t worry Sunset, the process is in fact really simple; basically you need to gather a big enough amount of lovers”

“And that’s the thing that I don’t understand, why do I need that?”

“Because you need to gather all the love you can and focus it on one point, in this case yourself; originally the Crystal Heart was formed by taking the purest crystal on the Empire and pour all the energy the kingdom could give it, sadly that method takes generations and we don’t have that much time so instead we will use you as a focusing point, then all that energy will be transferred to a crystal that in turn will become our new Crystal Heart”

“Then what am I supposed to do then? Go out and start flirting with strangers?” Sunset’s sarcasm was so thick that Harmony was sure she could cut it with a sword but she knew that her savior would react in that way, it was time to go for the kill.

“Oh no, we need real love, we need you to gain the hearts of every woman around you, the more the better to haste the creation”

“Wo… women? What? What are you talking about?”

“Oh my dear Sunset, no need to be coy, I’ve been awake enough time to see how much time you spend watching Rainbow Dash’s ass or the way Fluttershy’s breast wobble when she has to run on PE class” Harmony said with a perfect Cheshire grin while Sunset’s face turned as red as her hair in response “no, there is no need to feel shy about it Sunset, there is no shame in preferring one gender over the other”

“Really? Because I’m pretty sure that most humans would disagree with you over that point”

“And that’s another reason why this world needs its own Crystal Heart, so that they can finally reach their potential just like pony-kin did so long ago; besides, you won’t believe the amount of girls that have checking you out since your redemption against the Sirens” she said with a teasing smirk at the adorable responses of the teenagers.

“Oh Faust, as if this couldn’t be more embarrassing; so then, if there are girls that supposedly chech me out, how will I find them? Because, believe me, if there was such a thing as a gaydar” Sunset said making the air quotes over the last word “as the internet loves to talk about I would not be having the problems that I have finding a girlfriend"

“And that’s why you have me here my dear” Harmony extended a hand and suddenly magic sparks began to gather on the open palm as an object suddenly materialized on it, this one looking like a brand new tablet “I’ve been tinkering with a couple of things, you will find all that you need inside your new tool”

“You’re kidding me right?”

“Well, it beats a crystal ball or an enchanted book, at least like this it won’t call unwanted attention” Harmony said giving the tablet to Sunset while this one checked the gadget; it was pure red with no symbols on it except the classic touch screen that Sunset had grown used to thanks to her side job as app maker; quickly finding the controls at the side the screen turned on and Sunset saw several icons on the main page, she then quickly glared at Harmony at what she found.

“A love meter app? Seriously? That’s your bright idea?”

“Sunset, please, this is no mere mortal love meter that randomly generates results, this program magically updates and automatically records information, it also runs on the same algorithm that Cadence uses to calculate love; of course, the program runs the complete version of it so is 100% accurate”

“Great, just great”

“Aw, don’t be like that; you still haven’t heard the best part”

“There is a good thing about all this?”

“Oh you of little faith, the program records all members of the preferred gender, then it will calculate the level of love they have for the user, in this case you”

“Fantastic”

“Sarcasm to a minimum my dear; like I said, it calculates by levels up to a maximum of 200 which is basically true love at that point”

“Am I the only one that feels that there is something wrong with all of this?”

“There is no magic involved in this beyond the calculation, no ‘want it, need it’, no love spell, no nothing, everything has to be given by choice, untainted by magic, any other way will be useless so don’t worry, if the app says a girl reached 200 it means that girl is truly in love with you so have a little trust in yourself”

“Easy for you to say, you are not the one that has been asked to simply go out and start getting girlfriends left and right”

“You will be surprised how easy it would be, you already did half the job by being yourself; anyway, for now you will only have the Love Meter app, the rest of the programs will unlock once you gain some experience with your new tablet”

“Alright, so how does this Love Meter thing works anyway? Do I need to do something special?”

“Just press the refresh button and it will find record all the girls you have met lately” Harmony said with a secret grin just as Sunset began to press the button; the usual pink menu now showed a picture of a girl and its name with a semi-circle representing her level of love and Sunset had to once again swallow saliva at what she found.

Harmony: level 200

“Ah” was all Sunset could say before her mouth was incapable of releasing a sound as it found itself gagged by another mouth, the luscious and plump lips of the magical woman quieted whatever reaction Sunset could have had about the app. The redhead’s arms stood at her sizes not knowing where to put them while Harmony had no such problem, using her arms to embrace her savior and pull her closer to her body.

After several minutes the kiss was finally over, not because they wanted to finish it but due to serious concerns of either girl suffocating; their bodies finally separated, a long string of saliva still connecting the girls’ tongues while both began to recover their breath but just as suddenly Sunset felt a strong fire burning in her and it had nothing to with that toe-curling display of lips and mouth that she had been part of, it was something deeper, almost primal that began to encapsulate her whole body, it wanted to get out, to be free but Sunset didn’t know how.

“One last thing my dear which I know you are going to love, something to do with your unique power, both darkness and light, something for the only mortal to have been capable to call both sides of my power and not only survive but to thrive and create; let me give you the two sides of love, the pure angel-like side and the… well, shall I say succubus carnal side of love?” Harmony said with a lecherous grin while helping the other girl take off Sunset’s jeans, something was gathering inside of the redhead's body, the flame was increasing in size at the center of her being as if it were trying to escape.

Harmony began to caress her lover's side knowing well the energy growing inside Sunset, she had forced both types of magic to fuse after all; the tainted demon energy from the element of magic had never left Sunset's body, she had simply learned to live with the temptation but now, with the pure side of the elements mixing that temptation could be pushed into the perfect avenue. Placing her hand just north of Sunset's nethers she felt the heat and the energy once again modifying the redhead's body, pushing, sculpting and in one second it appeared; a rod made of flesh that was a atestament to the powerful energies residing inside Sunset.

Harmony herself was happily surprised by the size of Sunset's new male genital, her hand barely closing around its girth, she knew that Sunset would have no trouble convincing others into becoming bed partners; it was at that moment that Sunset lost whatever patience she had and basically threw Harmony on the bed. The magical woman simply giggled at the action while she spread her legs, one hand moved the silk fabric of her toga to one side revealing the puffy milky white lips of Harmony; the light from the window was enough to make the clear liquid running between them glister.

Sunset eyes showed the raw passion, a testament to the amount of savage magic running through her veins, the burning power that worked better than any aphrodisiac; her eyes also changed with that power, turning aquamarine with a black sclera like when she turned into what others called Sunset-Satan. The overloaded teenager felt her heart beat increase in speed after Hrmony's spectacle and basically threw herself over the woman, their bodies rubbing against each other while they resumed their kiss, their tongues battling against each other.

The redhead’s right hand began to travel over Harmony’s hip upwards until it cupped one full breast and began to massage it, enjoying the weight and softness of the skin and the way it molded to her hand, but it was not enough for Sunset, she quickly separated from Harmony much to the woman’s displeasure but everything was forgiven the next second. Sunset aligned herself with Harmony before plunging herself into unknown territory resulting in a duo of moans that Sunset was sure her neighbors would complain.

It was a new experience for both with Harmony making use for the first time of inner muscles she never knew she had, her body was a construct just so she would be able to interact with Sunset, and boy, was she interacting. She quickly found out how tighten every muscle resulting in the girl on top of her to begin moving even faster in answer, both of their voices resonating on the walls and traveling through the pen window, the creaking of the cheap bed in Sunset’s apartment was the only sound accompanying their love making.

‘I think even I can get things wrong’ Harmony’s barely coherent thoughts appeared ‘I didn’t realize how much magic Sunset had absorbed from the elements’ she then was incapable of following that train of thought as Sunset increased the tempo making Harmony feel her vaginal walls be expanded to the max by the fleshy invader.

It was going to be a long day for both.
