The Needs of an Alicorn

The playroom was full of the sounds of foals running and playing, but also the wet smacks of their little mouths going to work over their masters. The foals who had been most recently used could easily be picked out for how oddly they walked. Twilight and Shining were still sticky and covered in their own love juices, so Cadence had called a few foals over to handle the cleanup. Their little tongues meticulously covered every square inch of the mare and stallion, seeking out the faintest traces of the salty taste and licking it up as if it were the sweetest candy.

“There’s something I’ve been really curious about,” Twilight said as she lay on her back so as to give the foals easier access to the dirty areas, her aroused cock pointed at the sky. “Where’d Dominance come from, anyway?”

“Hmm,” Cadence tapped her chin. “I suppose you could say that Dominance is almost like the seventh Element of Harmony?”

“Seventh!?” Twilight’s eyes sparkled at this revelation, barely caring about her little cleaners. “You gotta tell me.”

“As Celestia has told you, the Elements were found by the Royal Sisters within the Tree of Harmony, deep in the Everfree Forest. Legend says they used the Elements to defeat Discord and usher in an age of peace. However, that’s not exactly what happened.” Cadence paused, smiling as she saw that look of unbound curiosity in Twilight’s eyes. It was looks like those that made it really hard for a teenage Cadence to not take the little filly as she’d done so many of her other babysitting charges.

“What history doesn’t say is that the Princesses took from the tree a seventh Element. Back then it was called Order, considered the opposite of Discord, but eventually, after a bit of tinkering, it came to be known as Dominance.”

“Tinkering?” Twilight asked. “So the Princesses actually changed the nature of an Element?”

“They most certainly did.”

Twilight sighed happily. She always loved the way Cadence would tell her bedtime stories in that whimsical way of hers. Not even the little colt wedged between her old babysitter’s thighs and humping into her pussy as her erect cock bobbed with his movements could dampen the mood. If anything, it served to build Twilight’s excitement all the more.

“Equestria was much smaller back then, but the chaos Discord had wrought had ruined so many lives.” Cadence continued sorrowfully. “It was thanks to the selective casting of Dominance that the Princesses were able to restore order so quickly.”

“So how did the, um, sex stuff start?”

Cadence giggled at Twilight’s continued embarrassment despite everything they’d just done. “According to Celestia, it was actually the idea of the ponies. You see, no pony had ever seen an alicorn before. And after what those two did, Equestria automatically hoisted them up as deities.”

“As they should have,” Shining interjected. He’d grabbed a filly’s mane and was forcing her to fellate him.

“Yes dear. As they should have,” Cadence giggled. “Anyway, Celestia and Luna were considered goddesses of fertility as well as the sun and moon. So when they went on their rounds seeing to their kingdom, their arrival was often met with celebrations of great feasts and orgies. However, as the ages past, cultures changed and soon such practices fell out of favor as ponies started thinking of themselves as beings with innate value beyond what they could do for their Princesses. However, the Princesses had had a taste of the good life and used Dominance to quietly continue the old ways, carrying them into modern times.”

“Wow,” Twilight awed. “So why didn’t the Princesses just keep the old ways around in full?” Twilight was already imagining her return to Ponyville met with such a celebration, a feast to rival that of the Apple family reunion as all the little ponies, mares, stallions, fillies, and colts all offered themselves for her use and enjoyment. It was nice, but at the same time it was making her hungry. “I mean, Celestia once said that she had a preference for tea over coffee and the entire coffee industry nearly shut down. Even without Dominance, I don’t think it’d be that hard to keep control.”

“That’s a clever observation, Twilight,” Cadence congratulated. “But here’s the thing. Ponies’ thinking they matter beyond their use to the alicorns makes them happy. And happy citizens are both more fruitful and productive. Civilization practically exploded after the change, along with the power base of the alicorns, that being our subjects. So you see letting ponies think they own their own lives is actually in our best interests. So long as we have Dominance to maintain the illusion, Equestria will prosper indefinitely.”

“Huh,” Twilight said with a frown.

“What is it Twi?” Cadence asked, sensing her student’s discomfort.

“If…” Twilight considered her next question carefully. She didn’t want to seem rude. “If ponies’ lives don’t really matter apart from being alicorn tools and toys, then does that mean I didn’t matter before I became an alicorn?”

Shining and Cadence let out a combined sigh. They both knew this question was coming and hoped that they’d practiced the best way to make her understand.

“Oh Twiley,” Shining sighed, nuzzling her as he rolled onto his belly. “You can’t think of it like that.”

“Then… How should I think of it?” she asked as the foals who had been cleaning her scattered and joined the others in play. It was one thing when she had considered the foals as mere playthings, but the prospect that she had actually been just as unimportant as them hit Twilight on a very personal level, almost like her pride as an alicorn had been wounded.

“Ponies like me or them,” he gestured from himself to the foals, “owe our existence to the alicorns. If it weren’t for them, we’d still be suffering under Discord’s tyranny. Because of that, we owe our very lives to the alicorns. They own us, and rightfully so. I consider it a travesty the way most ponies go about their daily lives without once thinking of how they can serve those who gave them life. As such, I consider myself immensely grateful to have been shown the truth.” He looked past his sister to gaze longingly at his wife. “Because that truth means I can worship the alicorns like they truly deserve, in a way so few ponies are given the privilege to.”

“Oh Shiny!” Cadence declared as she leaned over Twilight and smooched her husband.

Twilight caught herself gently stroking her cock as she watched the pair make out above her, wondering when it had become her preferred sex organ.

“I mean it too,” Shining said fervently as he broke contact. “I’ve dedicated my life to the alicorns, but especially the Princess of Love. I belong to her. I live for her. That means I’ll gladly do whatever she asks of me.”

“Shiny,” Cadence sighed as she gently rubbed horns with her husband. “I think I’m the lucky one for finding a stallion as sweet and loving as you.”

“I think I see,” Twilight finally said. Shining’s explanation, followed by the display of affection had indeed helped her feel better and understand. “I was born to serve the will of the alicorns. If I think of it like that, then nothing’s really changed. As an alicorn, I can better serve Equestria and make it a better place for all, alicorn and pony alike. Right?” She asked, hoping she’d gotten it right.

“That’s my LSBFF,” Shining cooed as he kissed his sister’s cheek, only to have the moment of sibling sweetness broken with a growl from Twilight’s stomach.

Twilight blushed and squeaked in embarrassment. “Pardon.”

Her elders met each other’s eyes and soon collapsed in guffaws. When they recovered, they helped Twilight back onto her haunches.

“Lunch isn’t for another hour, Twi,” Cadence said apologetically. “That’s when the guard will arrive with our meal. Until then, why don’t I teach you some nifty ways on how to use Dominance?”

Twilight’s hunger was almost instantly forgotten when presented with the prospect of sating her hunger for knowledge. “Yes, please!”

Laughing, Cadence directed Shining to find some suitable test subjects for Twilight to experiment on. As he saluted and departed, Cadence turned to Twilight and began their lesson. It all began with memorizing basic spell forms.

Magic had a language of sorts, with complex symbols in place of letters. Spells were woven and cast as the caster focused magic through a string of symbols until it came out as a specific spell. More complex spells required more letters of increasing complexity. But to learn Dominance, Twilight would need to memorize an entirely new set of letters. Where the regular alphabet had symbols for physical forces like ‘heat’ and ‘pressure’, the Dominance alphabet had complex terms such as ‘eager and willful obedience’. Naturally this was only a beginner’s course and the young alicorn would be granted all the time in the world to memorize her craft. However, Cadence still felt that a little hooves on practice would do worlds of good in teaching her student the nature of these new letters.

Shining promptly returned with Fine Cut and a red filly named Shamrock Stone. Both looked at their masters with eager anticipation. At his wife’s nod of approval, Shining was given leave to go and play with the foals. He loved foals, and she loved the way he loved them. Cadence caught herself daydreaming about what a wonderful father Shining would be someday, only to refocus on her lesson.

“Alright Twi,” Cadence reassured. “Take a deep breath and run through the first sequence we talked about.”

Nodding, Twilight held the vision of the Dominance’s letters in her mind and focused her magic through them. Satisfied that the magic had successfully been channeled through the symbols and into her horn, Twilight took aim at her first test subject and fired a beam of orange light at Fine. When it was over, Fine wobbled about in a daze, but Shamrock remained still and smiling. Sharing a glance with her teacher, Twilight prepared to test the results of her first attempt.

“Fine Cut.”

“Y-yes,” Fine gasped. He was pressing a hoof to his forehead and clearly hadn’t noticed that both Princesses were sporting raging hard ons. However, his eyes were free of their previous glassy haze.

“I want you to,” Twilight paused to giggle, “suck my penis.”

“Your… wha?”

“You heard me.” Twilight collected herself and tried to sound as commanding as possible. “Your Princess has ordered you to get down and suck her penis.”

“I…” Fine strained to see what was before him. When his vision became clear he pulled back in horror. “W-what is that?” He pointed frantically between Princesses. “And why do you…”

“Congratulations,” Cadence cheered. “You’ve successfully lifted a pony from the grasp of Dominance.”

“Domi-what are you two talking about?” Fine demanded desperately. at the sound of a familiar mare moaning, he turned around to find Prince Shining Armor balls deep in his coworker.

“Now Twi,” Cadence whispered hurriedly. “The second one.”

Twilight nodded, repeating the process from before but with different symbols, and blasted Fine anew, stopping him mid scream. Once on the verge of panic, the stallion’s head hung lazily to the side. Twilight stood, her erection hitting against her stomach as she moved up to the stallion’s side. His eyes were completely opaque, held in a deeper trance than the usual Dominance. She grinned excitedly back at Cadence, but her fellow Princess merely urged her to carry on with the lesson.

“Fine Cut,” Twilight whispered into the stallion’s ear, causing him to stand at attention. Giggling like a school filly, Twilight prepared her instructions. This version of Dominance was less direct control and more like post hypnotic suggestion. The downside was that this version did not afford the immediate gratification that came with the regular Dominance. On the plus side, this version held more long term benefits as the suggestions persisted with ponies long after the spell was removed. With time and patience, it was possible to reshape the subject into anything the alicorn wanted.

Briefly Twilight considered that perhaps the only reason Shining was so devoted to Cadence was because she had cast this version of Dominance and hypnotized him into her willing disciple, but quickly dismissed such a thing as trivial. Even if it were true, Cadence would have been well within her rights as an alicorn to do so. Besides, Shining liked his new life just fine, so who was she or any pony else to deny the happiness Cadence brought him?

The answer came in a tiny voice that screamed in the back of Twilight’s mind. It was faint, but she was able to make out the sentiments behind the hushed words. It was a warning. It was the impulse of facing imminent danger to fight, run away, or freeze. There was a scream with all the fury of a sick mouse that both she and her brother were in danger. Twilight puzzled over the voice, viewing it with a disconnected curiosity. She’d have to look into this odd sensation later.

For now, Twilight focused her efforts on continuing what Cadence and Shining had built before her. When she finished, she returned to Cadence’s side as the pink alicorn cast a new spell on the stallion, an illusion unrelated to Dominance that made the stallion think he was back in his house. And at Cadence’s urging, Twilight lifted the spell.

Fine took much less time to come out of this trance than the first one. He looked around at what he imagined was his domicile with a contented sigh, mostly likely thinking he’d just returned home from a hard day’s work. And then Clear entered the picture. She was still under the control of Dominance, but Fine didn’t know that as the mare suddenly snuggled up to him.

“C-Clear,” Fine stuttered in surprise. “W-what are you doing?”

“Shhhh,” Clear hushed as she buried her face into his side. “I’ve seen the way you look at me, Fine,” she teased.

“Y-you have?” Fine gulped as he found himself moving in time with her nuzzles. “And… You don’t mind?”

Clear giggled. “The only thing I mind is that you’ve made me wait so long that I’ve had to make the first move on my own.” She leaned up and nibbled at his ear, eliciting several moans from the stallion.

“Aww,” Twilight cooed as she watched the pair continue to press against one another in a romantic dance. Her cock twitched from her desire to just have them bang already, but she managed to keep her priorities straight. “So is this what you usually do? I mean, is this your love magic?”

“Goodness, no,” Cadence chuckled. “My talent for helping ponies find love is my own unique creation combined with my natural skill as a matchmaker. Although I do use Dominance from time to time to help get things started,” she tittered guiltily. “Like here. Each time we come by we have our fun, but I’ve also made a bit of a hobby with helping these two get a little closer.”

“Just these two?” Twilight asked with a playful grin.

“Well,” Cadence trailed off. “It might actually be closer to two thousand, but who’s counting?”

“Isn’t it great,” Shining said from beside the oblivious doting couple and behind Shamrock. “My Cadi’s got the market cornered on couple’s therapy.”

“Shiny,” Cadence whined with a blush.

“But it’s true,” Shining insisted as he petted the little filly’s back. “We’re lucky to have the alicorns because they take such good care of us. Since being with Cadence, I’ve seen the wonderful work she’s done with so many ponies. Petty arguments that nearly destroy marriages are suddenly forgotten and replaced with overwhelming love, and that’s just the tip of the ice berg. According to Cadence,” Shining continued with ever growing excitement, “Celestia and Luna have single hoofedly made Equestria into the safest kingdom in the world. Criminals are shown the error of their ways before they even leave the house. Wars are averted when ponies come to their senses and realize that cooperation is in the best interests of all.”

“But it’s not perfect,” Cadence interjected somberly as the lovebirds continued to swoon. “We alicorns are great, but even we aren’t omnipotent. Sometimes things slip through the cracks, tragedy still happens, and some prayers go unanswered.” She waved a hoof over the orphanage. “That’s why we still have things like orphanages, hospitals, and even prisons. Their presence is much diminished from what it was, but it is likely that such things will persist for many millennia to come.”

“Isn’t there anything we can do?” Twilight asked desperately. She’d always known of the misfortune of the world, but the power coursing through her now told her of its horrid wrongness and filled her with the compulsion to right that wrong. “We’re alicorns. We shouldn’t be allowing such things to happen.”

“You’re correct, Twi. We are alicorns,” Cadence beamed. “You, me, Luna, Celestia. Where once there were only two, now there are four alicorns ready to wield Dominance and guide Equestria to a brighter and happier future!” she exclaimed proudly. “When you’re ready, Twi, you will join your fellow alicorns as the masters of this world.”

Twilight’s mouth was agape in awe. Once more she was moved by the rightness of Cadence’s words. Princess Twilight, for that was who she was now, was destined to save Equestria in a whole new way. There would always be monsters and outside threats, but she now had the power to do what most elected officials could only dream of accomplishing. She could remove social ills, or at the very least reduce them. Like Cadence, she would visit ponies from all walks of life and gift them with Dominance to help them overcome their misery.

“Oh, I know that look,” Cadence teased, poking Twilight’s side.

“W-what look?” Twilight asked, only to follow Cadence’s gaze down to her throbbing purple penis.

“You’re excited,” Cadence giggled. “And I know just what you need to calm down.”

Twilight gulped as she once more followed the pink alicorn’s gaze to the little filly Shining was still petting. “Oh,” she said, embarrassed at having forgotten her other test subject. “So… I need to cast another kind of Dominance.”

“If you think you’re ready,” Cadence said with much more seriousness. “This next one is part of Dominance’s more advanced forms. Instead of altering the subject mentally, this lets you dominate them physically, making their bodies change to suit your desires.”

“Wow,” Twilight said, feeling rather silly for not having a more worthwhile reaction. Transformation spells were always tricky, especially with complex organisms like ponies. One wrong move and the subject’s brain and heart would switch places.

“Don’t worry,” Cadence reassured. “Dominance has safeguards that other such spells don’t, but that doesn’t make it any less of a challenge. But first thing’s first.” Cadence turned to Fine and Clear, her horn lighting with the black magic as she returned Fine beneath the care and control of Dominance. “Let’s remove a few distractions so you can focus more,” she said, rubbing Twilight’s elbow.

Not needing to be told, Shining shooed the caregivers away, no doubt to resume his play time. Meanwhile, Cadence discussed with Twilight the exact sequence she’d need to accomplish the desired outcome. Changing the filly’s age was too complex, as it required alterations all across the little pony’s body to accommodate the new body. Similar issues came with changing her number of limbs, altering her senses, or anything else Twilight suggested. Ultimately they settled on something simple, but no less profound, and Twilight charged her horn.

“Brace yourself,” Cadence advised Shamrock sweetly. “You’re gonna like this.”

Shamrock nodded frantically and fought against the urge to bounce around.

Twilight was finally ready and unleashed the spell in a flash of darkness. The Princess nearly collapsed to the floor thanks to the spell’s drain. However, at Cadence’s encouraging, she looked up to see that it had worked. Beaming in elation, Twilight instructed the filly to look at her flank. There, Shamrock found a four leaf clover etched into a stone. The little filly erupted in shouts of joy as she bounced around the room, running from filly to colt as she showed off her flank.

“I did it,” Twilight awed as she watched the little filly run about. “I… I just gave a filly her cutie mark.” It had made sense for the experiment. Cutie marks were part of a pony’s destiny. Strictly speaking, they were already part of who and what a pony was. It only took a moment of enlightenment for the mark to reveal itself. In essence, Twilight had used Dominance to lift a shroud. “I DID IT!”

Twilight’s volume had earned the filly’s attention as she ran back to the Princess. Shamrock wrapped her legs around Twilight’s chest in a tight hug. As she repeatedly exclaimed her gratitude, Twilight stroked the thankful filly’s back, basking in her love. That is, until she realized that the tip of her leaking cock was poking against the oblivious filly’s little belly. “Sh-Shamrock.”

“Yes, Ms. Twilight.” Shamrock looked up at Twilight with shimmering eyes. “What do you want?” She was so innocent, it almost broke Twilight’s heart to not answer right away.

“I want to fuck you,” Twilight hissed aggressively. “I want you to bend over and let me pummel that marked flank until you can’t walk anymore.”

“Oh my,” Cadence tittered.

“You mean it?” Shamrock beamed excitedly. “You’re really gonna fuck me?”

Twilight lit her horn and encased the filly in her magic. She levitated the little sex toy a ways over and set her back down, head down and rump high in the air. Twilight couldn’t help but lick her lips at the delicious little pussy and puckered pink star, all nestled between such voluptuous little buns. She leaned down, taking a deep whiff of the filly’s arousal. No. That wasn’t the right word. She had her mark, which meant that Shamrock was a full grown mare. I made this filly into a mare, Twilight thought. And now I’m claiming her marehood as my reward.

Shamrock whined in anticipation as Twilight got into position. She was obedient, and wouldn’t complain, but that didn’t make her any less eager to be of use to the alicorn, especially to the one who had given her her heart’s desire. She could feel it, the tip prodding at her soft little bum. “P-please,” she whimpered. “I can’t wait.”

“Then don’t.” Twilight declared. With one final spell to coat her cock in lube, she prodded forward, sinking the first inch of her cock into the little mare’s tight little anus. “N-no wonder Shiny likes butts so much,” Twilight heaved as the filly’s tightness constricted around her as it’s insides shifted to make way for her girth. “This is amazing!” she cried out as the tight hole sent ripples of pleasure up her cock.

Shamrock continued to moan as her Princess sunk deeper into her tail hole, but Twilight was only barely aware of this. Sure the moans of pleasure sounded nice, but she honestly didn’t care whether or not her fuck toy was enjoying herself, or rather itself. The filly cried out again, moaning longingly as Twilight pulled out, only to shriek when she pushed back in.

“Good girl, Twilight,” Cadence purred from behind her fellow alicorn.

Twilight’s sex toy squeezed lovingly around her cock. It was incredible. Her toy’s little butt clenched and relaxed as she sunk deeper and deeper, the ease of which made the alicorn wonder if this toy was used to this kind of play. Finally she felt her balls tap against its winking pussy and Twilight gasped in joy. She’d completely sheathed herself inside a little filly’s ass hole, and it felt amazing. She lingered like that for a while, letting the filly acclimate around its guest. This was a sensation, Twilight knew, that she would definitely be indulging in when she got back home.

Twilight slowly pulled out, just as she remembered Shining do to her. Her toy whimpered at the loss of pressure, but that was promptly dismissed as Twilight slammed back inside. She gripped the filly for better leverage and began pumping more freely. The filly bounced back in time with Twilight’s thrusts, filling the alicorn’s mind with the lewd wet sounds of their fucking.

“Sh-Sham…” Twilight moaned. “I… I love your little ass.” Amidst the euphoria of the waves of pleasure moving through her dick, Twilight smiled a bit wider at her announcement. Toys didn’t need to hear such things, but it still felt right to say. In any case, the filly clenched all the harder around Twilight’s length, giving her even more pleasure as she pounded away.

“C-cumming!” Twilight declared mere seconds before she felt herself erupt into the filly’s anus, filling it with her seed. The filly threw her head back, opening her mouth in a muffled scream. Twilight felt spurt after spurt paint the inside of the filly’s ass until finally her cock calmed down and she collapsed onto her toy with a satisfied exhale.

Cadence walked up beside Twilight and pet her mane gently, as she’d always done to calm the little filly down in the past. It worked and soon Twilight’s labored breath became more even. The filly beneath her squirmed, but only to get a more comfortable position and not to escape the loving comfort of being engulfed by an alicorn’s magnificence. This Cadence knew from experience and grinned gleefully as she envisioned Twilight’s destiny to experience those same wonders. There’d be time enough for that later. For now, a grumble from Twilight’s belly told her that they’d earned a short reprieve.
