Grimoire of Equestria
The Talk
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI looked at Luna in horror. How the hell did this happen?! Let me explain, it all started at the beginning of the conversations..
"Well?" Luna asked a bit impatiently. The tapping of her hoof against the floor was heard through the communication window. I glanced back and forth looking anywhere but in her eyes, before they found a spot of the ground to settle. I sighed as I looked up.
"I don't know." I simply stated with a blank look on my face. Hers contorted into something fitting confusion.
"How do you not know?" She sounded both confused and a little peeved at something. I put my hands in my pockets in a huff.
"I don't know okay? I was just hanging out with Twilight and her friends today. Nothing happened out of what I thought was normal. I played some jokes on Pinkie, a few on Twilight, and Rainbow Dash as well. I mean, the joke I pulled on Twilight was a bit tasteless but it was still funny since I knew what her reaction would be." I muttered out the last bit. A bark of laughter caught my attention.
"I think this is the first time I've ever seen you lose that 'keep cool' attitude you have." She had a smirk on her face. I rubbed the bridge of my nose in annoyance.
"So this was all a prank then?" I sighed in relief.
"No, they're dreaming about you." Luna said casually. I cocked an eyebrow as I listened. "Twilight's are dreams of a first time crush." She said with a small smirk. I sighed, at least I could break that without too much issue. "Now Pinkies is weird, her dreams are one you would have if you had been together for a while. Or found your soulmate, whichever comes first of course." She looked a bit conflicted, but seemed to settle on a small smile.
"So what do I do?" I asked. A slight desperation in my voice. I didn't need any drama in my life, however short it will be. Having Luna mad at me wouldn't help my self esteem as a person. However-
"Just keep doing what your doing." Luna said like it was the easiest answer on the planet.
"What?" I asked confused. I must have heard that wrong, it sounded like she said-
"If somepony wants to pine over your affections, I'm all for it. But I get a say if they get in the Herd first." She said with a confident smile.
...
"What?!" "What?!" "What?! All three of us screamed together in my head.
I shook off the slight headache, and looked to Luna in horror. How did this even happen?!
"What do you mean?" I asked a slowly as possible. Luna looked to me as if I'd grew another head, until her eye's widened.
"Oh! Sorry! I had forgotten you haven't been around in a long time. Well you see, over the last Seven Hundred Years we've noticed a significant drop in the Mare to Colt ratio. What used to be a maybe Two to One of Mares to Colts, has over time, dropped to almost Seven to One. Some towns and citied are worse than others. If I remember right, Ponyville is a Ten to One while Canterlot is a Six to One." She stated. I looked at her with wide eyes as I contemplated what she said. "So technically, even though your Courting Royalty" She stopped for a second, like she realized something. "By Law your supposed to have at least 4 Mares by the age of Twenty Five to bear foals." She seemed to fidget a bit. "A-As such the Law stated that Mares.. With sisters are to share if said mare is not in a relationship." Her face lit up red at the implications.
Nope
Not gonna do it
This is waaay too much information to drop on a guy at Two in the morning! I need to go for a god-damn walk..
"Hey, can.. I go for now? I'll contact you later." I didn't really wait for an answer, as I pocketed the crystal. The viewing portal faded as I turned around. Where's a bottle of Whiskey when you need it?
----With Luna----
Luna blinked as she registered what happened.
"He.. He stopped the communication? Why?" She looked confused. Until Celestia came in from the door.
"The way he reacted, I assume the prospect of having multiple Marefriends must be quite a cultural shock. You even basically told him that you were going to set him up with me, Lulu." She said with a comforting smile.
"A shock? Why?" Luna didn't quite understand.
"I know you sometimes forget, but he is not of our world. Imagine if you would, the opposite happening to you. If you appeared in a world for an indefinite amount of time, and you were told that you must only have one life partner, How would you react? His own culture could be focused around Monogamy, rather than Polygamy like ours. We, as ponies, have been sharing partners since we could walk, so we are used to the concept." Celestia said, putting a wing on her sisters shoulder. Luna felt the weight of what she said weigh on her mind. She jumped up and ran to the door leading to the balcony.
"I have to go! He needs to know that he doesn't need to change!" She yelled frantically. A Golden wave of magic stopped her. She looked to her sister in confusion.
"Let him have some time. Information like this must be given in small doses. Having so much on his mind.. He needs to be alone. Your word hold a lot of sway to his mind. If you go tell him that he doesn't need to change, he will never try." Celestia said. Luna calmed down. Her ears lay flat on her head.
"Thank you, Tia." Luna said. She noticed a small blush on Celestia's face. "Are you okay?" She asked.
"Y-Yes! I'm fine." Celestia said, standing up and moving quickly out the door. She didn't see nor hear her sister following her with a knowing grin on her face. Nothing hides from her!
----Back to Hazama----
I sat on a rock. A very familiar rock. The same rock I found all those years ago. A thousand years hadn't been kind to the poor thing, and it now sat in a slightly bigger lake. Running my hands through the water, I was deep in thought.. or should I say thoughts?
"Is it really that bad? I'd kill to have more than one girl! " Terumi's voice rang out. A huff sounded.
"Oh? Is that right?" Nightmare all but snarled.
"No! You know that's not what I meant!" *BAM* "Ow! God Damnit woman!" *BAM!! "Ah! Not the face!" *Thud* A low groan came out next. I can only assume he just got nailed where the sun don't shine.
"That's not really the problem here. I've never thought of being with multiple women before. If the thought of others doing back home made me shake in anger , then why do the thoughts of me doing it here make me feel sick ?" I asked no-one in particular. Surprising, Nightmare was the one to answer.
"..Sometimes I wonder if I made the right choice.." She sighed. "You are very noble. You feel that splitting your attention from one mare to another will cause your own feelings to slip. While at the same time, you tell yourself that you are unworthy of such actions, and the love of more than one mare." She sounded so.. Right. Every word she said hit my heart like a brick.
"..Pansy.." A soft voice called from Terumi. *Smack* A doglike whimper was all I heard after that.
"Keep it up, you get nothing for the next month!" Nightmare all but yelled at Terumi. I shivered at the implications of the two getting frisky in my head. Terumi seemed to get the message, as his presence dropped from the current conversation.
"Your right.." I said softly.
"But not all is correct. You feel as though you don't deserve it, but others will say otherwise. MY other half for example: Wants you to feel as loved as possible, even though she clearly didn't want to bring it up. The fact that she did simply means that she will be with whatever decision that you make. Be it taking multiple mares under your care, or staying with just Luna. Although I have to warn you, as an Immortal being, she may get tired of you at some point." I chuckle a bit. THERES the Nightmare I knew. All that wisdom, and she still has to get a rise out of me.
"Thank you." I said with as much feeling as I could. I stood from my rock, and flipped back onto land. I looked up at the moon, and guessed the time to be about Five in the morning. I had one more thing to do before I continued my fun in Ponyville. I knew the general location of Canterlot from here, since it was on a mountain. I could even see it from here. I jumped up slightly, and threw out an Ouroboros. Lets test my theory. I waited for about Three seconds, when I felt the pull of my Ouroboros. I flew through the air, and landed in Canterlot shortly after. Sweet! I could do long distance travel with it! I chuckled to myself, as I walked into the castle through the roof. Quickly finding the room I needed, I opened the door to see a surprised Celestia. She was sipping from a tea cup when I barged in. A slice of cake half eaten near her.. on a plate big enough for a whole one..
"H-Hazama! Why are you here? What do you need?" She hastily hid the metal cake tray under her bed with her magic.
"I need to talk to you." I said, while sitting down across from her. My tone serious instead of my usual jovial one. She stopped fidgeting at my tone, and sat still, adopting a look of seriousness as well. Inside my head I heard a shuffle.
"What's this about?" The voice of Nightmare called out from inside my head.
"Terumi" I called out to Terumi.
"Right" *Thud..* A soft noise sounded in my head, with the sound of Nightmare squeaking slightly. "Your all good.. You know this will only shorten our time right?" Terumi said solemnly.
"Yeah, I've got a plan." Terumi scoffed at me.
"You and your stupid tactics, you have a plan for Everything." He said jokingly.
"What's wrong?" I figured as much. Celestia was never the one to let small details go by. The fact that I had never once talked in anything but my carefree tone was something to bother her. I wanted to chuckle, but it wasn't the time for laughing.
"I'll cut straight to the point, I need you to keep a secret. You cannot tell Luna, under any circumstance. I need your help. I'm dying." I dropped the bomb on her. To her credit, her face only showed a small hint of emotion, before she spoke.
"Why? What's happened?" She asked while clearing the table off fully with her magic.
"The Elements." I said.
"The Elements? What do they have to do with this?" She seemed confused, but her face hid almost all of it.
"When they used the elements on Terumi to free me from his and Nightmare's control, they did more than push my mind to the forefront. They forcefully merged us. The three of us are now irreversibly inseparable. My body wasn't made for that. It could barely handle the power me and Terumi were putting out. Adding Nightmare to the mix has caused my body to break down.." I said flatly. Celestia's eyes widened, and her poker face was broken. She gasped at the implications.
"What can I do?" She asked, sorrow filling her eyes.
"I have a plan, But I need you to get me every book and parchment you have on Enchantments, Runes and Magic Crystals. Now I don't have a lot of time so-" Her ears flattened against her head.
"How much time do you have?" She asked softly.
"At this point I'd say a little under a mo-" I was interrupted my Terumi.
"Three weeks" I blinked at that.
"I have Three weeks, maybe less if I fuck up." I was immediately taken back by Celestia. She jumped up and hugged me. She took out the table that was in her way and everything. She soon wrapped her wings around me and I felt her body shaking. Was.. Was she crying? For me? ..If I don't find a way to fix this soon, I'm going to be letting a lot of Mares down, aren't I? I patted her back, and ran my fingers through her mane. She brought her head back, and kissed me on the cheek. She then backed up fully with a watery smile on her face.
"I'll get you whatever you need, I wont let you die." She said as she ran into the hallway and disappeared.
I sighed, as I grabbed a piece of paper off of her desk, and quickly scratched out a note:
Dear Celestia,
Just have all the books brought to Ponyville.
I have things I need to take care of. Sweet dreams, and good night.
Hazama
I walked out of the room, and went to go outside, when I thought of something. A sly smirk appeared on my face, breaking my serious façade. I snuck into Luna's room, that was only down the hall. Walking up to her bed, I noticed the lack of the 'Me' Pillow. Must've gotten rid of it when I got back. I gently shook her awake. Her eye's fluttered open slowly.
"H-Hazama?" She asked, groggily. "What are you-" I silenced her with a kiss. Her eyes widened slightly, before closing again. She pushed into the kiss a bit, putting her fore hooves around my back. After a good Ten seconds, I pulled away. Her lips quivered at feeling. She shivered as she opened her eyes, she only kept them half-lidded.
"Not that I'm complaining, but what's the occasion?" She asked, drawing small circles into my back with her hoof. I stared into her eyes, and realized how much I've missed in the past One Thousand years. I chuckle as I answer her.
"Well, I dropped by to see about borrowing some books, and decided to come see you. I figured that would be a good wake up call." My eyes widened slightly as she pushed me onto the bed, her straddling my whole lower body. She leaned into my ear and whispered huskily into it.
"Well, I'm certainly awake now, and I've been dying for the chance to pay you back for everything you did for me." She nipped at my ear, "I've been thinking about this for a while." She said while leaning in for another kiss. Or lips connect, and the pure passion in it made me gasp in shock. Luna took the initiative of me opening my mouth and forced her tongue into my mouth. For the next minute of so, we fought for dominance with just our tongues. When we separated, we were both panting slightly.
Oh Christ, This happened really suddenly.. Am I ready for this?
Author's Note
Okay, So I'm at a crossroad.
Should the next chapter have a Lemon? Or should I wait?
I cant find any real reasons not to, but at the same time, I cant find any to have one..
Help me out guys, let me know if you think I should put one in or not.
I'm going to wait a day or two to write the next chapter, unless I get unanimous votes on either side.
Please and thanks!
