A Shadow Caught In The Sun
Act 12 Inevitable Feelings Rise
Previous ChapterNext ChapterZemrite and Twilight both walked through Canterlot castle. They were on their way to see Celestia and Luna now that they had returned from their journey to the Crystal Empire. Twilight looked extremely worried, and Zemrite knew why. It had been bugging her ever since they left the empire. Zemrite reaches up and gently places a hand on her shoulder, trying to comfort her.
“Twi...you had no choice. You couldn’t get out of the trap and if I hadn’t taken the heart, things could have gotten bad. I know Tia and Lulu will understand. Besides, if it hadn’t been for you, we would have never even found it.”
His words were helping a bit, but it still haunted her mind. Would she fail because, in the end, it was Zemrite who took down Sombra and returned the heart? She was brought out of her thoughts by the sound of the double doors being opened. Zemrite placed a hand on Twilight’s shoulder and rubs it gently, nodding in reassurance.
“Whatever happens Twi, I know you will pass. You always do, no matter what kind of test it is.”
His words and touch did indeed help her feel better. Soon they were both greeted by Luna and Celestia. Zemrite was about to leave to wait for Twilight outside when Celestia called out to him.
“Please stay behind, Zemrite. I need to talk to you as well regarding Twilight’s test.”
Zemrite was wondered what he was going to hear. Did he do too much for Twilight? He felt like he didn’t have a choice, though! He couldn’t just let things fall apart! He looked up at Celestia slowly, his eyes meeting hers. Luckily what he saw was a gaze of..approval?
“It’s beautiful.”
She said as she then gazed at the stained glass window that showed Zemrite holding up the crystal heart.
“I wish it was me who made it so. But in the end, it was Zemrite.”
Celestia shakes her head gently and lightly places a hand on her student’s shoulder.
“As I understand it Twilight, it was Zemrite who defeated Sombra and returned the heart because you were sure how quickly you could find a way to escape the tower. You weren’t willing to sacrifice the future of the ponies of the empire, in order to guarantee your own. Far better that I have a student who understands the meaning of self-sacrifice than one who only looks out for her own self-interest.”
Zemrite couldn’t help but smile at Celestia’s words as she spoke with Twilight. She was right.
“Does...this mean..?”
Celestia nodded to her. Happy to give her the good news. Twilight gasps and runs over to Zemrite and hugs him as tight as she could, nuzzling into him before running off to go tell her friends, but not before saying.
“Thank you Zemrite...so so much…”
He couldn’t help but feel his heart melt when she said that to him. For once, he helped out someone who was very dear to him instead of causing her trouble. It made him feel good about himself. And he couldn’t have been happier for her. She was going to move on to her next level of study, and he knew that was going to be a big deal for her. Both Celestia and Luna turn their attention to Zemrite. Once the door closed as Twilight left, they approach him. He arches a brow as they do.
“We both heard about your grotesque display of your power, Zemrite. You literally tore Sombra in half and even made him suffer before that. He must have really gotten to you if he made you do that.”
Said Luna, crossing her arms under her bust as she looked down at him. Though she didn’t appear disappointed
“He had it coming with the threats he was making. I will not go into detail, but I believe my actions were justified.”
“We do not blame you for your actions, Zemrite. In fact, Lulu and I believe that nopony but you could do such a thing. You see, we sent you knowing that if it came down to it, you would not think twice of making sure that the dark unicorn king could not return. Ever. You possess a dark and cruel power, yet it does not corrupt your heart”
“Yes, it baffles us so. When I used dark power, my heart was immediately taken over by it, and thus Nightmare Moon was created. But how is it that you are unaffected..?”
“Because I learned shadowmancing slowly and nourished off it. Years upon years of studying the art. From a mere age of seven years old. I am not sure if I remember telling you, but those markings you have seen on my body were carved into my flesh using a demonically possessed obsidian knife. I either had to fight the demon there and gain control of i’s power, or die.”
He sighs and lowers his head a bit. These two trust his every word, it was time he revealed his critical weakness to them.
“Tia...Lulu. Despite the power and abilities I possess. I am very vulnerable to one thing. And it doesn’t matter what form it takes, it can seriously hurt me or even kill me, silver.”
They both tilt their head at him, rather curious as to why it was so dangerous to him.
“It has to do with my garou blood. You see, silver is a pure substance, almost holy in nature. And it is deadly to blood like mine. It causes my blood to boil and the point it touches to burn. So you could imagine what a silver blade or arrow could do to me, should I not be quick enough.”
Celestia looks down at Zemrite, lightly placing her hands on his jaw and looks into his eyes.
“And why is it that you are telling us this?”
“Because I trust the both of you. You trust me, so you deserve mine as well. And...I also...well…”
This is something that he had been holding back for a good while now. It was now time he brought it to light.
“With all the times you have had me over and the time we have spent together. I must say that I've grown to really really like the both of you. You two let your guard down around me, and you are just so adorable and sweet when it is just us. I know you probably think I am crazy by telling you all this. After all, you two are royalty and I am sure you have plenty of stallions fighting for your affection. I thought I should just tell you anyways. That is why I gave you my critical weakness. Should things get out of hand, you two need to-”
Before he could finish saying the last sentence, all three of them teleported into Celestia’s chambers, both of the mares held him tightly, their arms wrapped around his frame and multiple kisses being planted on his cheeks and lips. It was so sudden, but he certainly didn’t mind.
“Did I say something I should have?”
He asked jokingly. Hearing them both giggle made him smile.
“We have a confession of our own, Zemrite. Both my sister and I do enjoy your presence very much. No matter the form you take. So we both decided if you shared your feelings with us, then we both share ours with you. That gives you not one, but two mares to love.”
Zemrite’s eyes nearly popped out of his skull at the words of Celestia. His heart nearly exploding out of his chest as well.
“Y-You can’t be serious. Both of you?!”
The poor guy has never had a girlfriend in his life, and yet these two just confessed to having those kind of feelings towards him, and agreed to BOTH be with him?! Not to say he hated the idea. Oh no, he was all for it. He just couldn’t believe it. But the nod from both of the sister confirmed it, only to have them nuzzle into him and drape that legs over each side of him.
“Oh yes, Zemrite. Believe it or not, your abilities, your power, your sweet and caring nature and your trust in us. It has won the both of us over.”
Celestia said as she pressed her breasts against him gently.
“You are quite the lucky stud, wolfy.”
Said both Luna and Nightmare Moon. Wait...Nightmare Moon? When did she get here?!
“Little Lulu, how dare you leave me out of the equation. I am still part of you after all. Besides, I want some of that monster side of him! He looked like he could split me in two!”
Said the dark mare as she runs his hands up and down her front with a light moan. Clearly having lewd images of his garou form laying claim to her body. As sweet as it sounded, it did make Zemrite blush, he immediately pulled his hood over his head to hide the blush. If it weren’t for the two beautiful mares snuggling up to him, he would have vanished into a shadow and gone off to hide.
“Aawww...the poor dear is shy. Not worry about that. Once we have had our way with you, we will make sure that shyness is well taken care of…”
Luna glared at her counterpart, as did Celestia.
“Leave us.”
Ordered Luna. Having no choice in the matter, Nightmare Moon pouts, but smiles and winks at Zemrite.
“See you on the next full moon, my sweet wolf.”
She vanishes into a cloud of black smoke. Luna sighing and shaking her head.
“You know Zemrite, for her to take notice of you that much, you must really be somepony special.”
“Yeah? Well pretty soon she won’t have to wait. The full moon is coming within two days. I can already feel my garou side stirring and wanting out. I am not sure what plans you will have for me then. Just remember I won’t be able to hold back the transformation.”
Celestia reaches up and caresses his cheek gently.
“Then, I think it best that you stay with us for the time being, Zemrite. Both Lulu and I will make sure that you are taken care of, personally. After all, you are ours now, just as we are yours. We wouldn’t be very good marefriends if we weren’t.”
She ended in a matter of factly tone. They both started showering him with affection once more. If he was to die right then and there, he could go happily. But luckily it wasn’t his time, so he just enjoyed them both, bringing his arms around both of their waists and pulls them closer to him.
Yeah...I think I can handle this...I hope…
