It was the final day of the month. Zemrite was doing his usual reading to learn more about the world than he already knew from the show. Something was bothering him though. Both physically and mentally. And as it grew later and darker, he became more irritable. A massive headache began to hit him harder and harder with each passing hour. He sets the book down he was reading and lets out a frustrated sigh. He gets up from the couch and walks quickly to the bathroom, Twilight catching sight of this from her own book as she studied. She sees Zemrite as a laid back and calm being. So to see him so...frazzled made her worry.

When Zemrite gets into the bathroom, he turns on the water of the sink and splashes his face with water to see if that would help him feel any better. One thing he did notice is a horrible pain in his teeth. They felt like they were...shifting and changing. His eyes also changing from the black and purple to black and ice blue. Zemrite began to understand what was happening. And he was scared. Twilight comes in behind him with a worried look.

“Zemrite...are you okay.”

“Yeah Twi...I am fine…”

“Are you sure? You seem like you are really-.”

“I SAID I AM FINE!”

He said with a deep wolvish growl. This frightened Twilight enough to make her fall back and slide away from him, shaking in absolute fear of the face she had just seen from him. He had realized what he had done after a moment and frowns.

“Twi..I am sorry..I didn’t mean to-”

He groans in pain as he leans on the countertop for support. Knocking a few things off the top of it. He looks out the window to see his worse fear come to life. A full moon was out tonight. He had to leave. Now. He wasted no time in doing so. Running pass Twilight and down the stairs. He runs outside not even closing the door behind him, Twilight giving chase as she was now genuinely worried about him rather than herself.

“Zemrite! Where are you going?! What’s wrong?!”

He didn’t respond. He only ran faster to get away from her, and any other pony that was in the area. His head and heart were pounding hard. He could already feel the transformation slowly happening and it was VERY painful Once he finally made it away from Ponyville and into a more secluded area, he could no longer hold back the change.

With the moonlight fully shining on his body, bones began to crack and his body began to shift as a black mist surrounds him. He lets out loud screams of unbearable pain. The cracking and changing of his bones becoming more violent as his body grew and grew. His screams becoming deeper and more animalistic. Dark fur began to form on his body, his muscles grew, his ears moved to the top of his head, his face grew a muzzle and he sprouted a tail. The transformation felt like an eternity until it was complete. Afterwhich he stands on his feet and lets out a roar mixed with a howl that nearly every pony that was awake could hear. And it was bone chilling. He falls to a knee in exhaustion and pants heavily. This was the first time an actual change has occurred. Back in the game it was just a long cast time and poof, he was in his ‘crinos form’. But this was a full on painful bone crunching change! And holy fuck it hurt! He looks around for anything that could show him his reflection, he spots a small pond and slowly makes his way to it. And there it was, staring right back at him, was the face of his crinos form.

{i]Oh god...this is really me...I have become a monster I never thought that I would never see for myself as a human…

He places his hands on his head and growls. He closes his eyes hard and lets out a scream of agony, which changed into more of a roar, the shock of his change affecting his mind after a slight delay. Suddenly he heard a wicked seductive chuckle, it was coming from all around him. He quickly shifts his gaze from side to side, looking for the source.

“My my. what do we have here?”

The voice’s source finally revealed itself in a dark blue mist, slowly forming into a curvy busty Nightmare Moon, dressed in her black and blue armor, though it was rather revealing in certain spots. Zemrite slowly rose to his full height and looked at the dark alicorn.

“Nightmare Moon…? How are you even…?”

“Not to worry, Zemrite. She isn’t going to hurt you. Not that she could anyways.”

Said another voice, this time belonging to Luna herself who was approaching from the other side of him. He was very confused. How could both of them exist at once. Wasn’t Nightmare Moon destroyed? Then again...the show never really said she was destroyed. Twilight and the others merely ‘cleansed’ Luna of Nightmare Moon.

“Just look at him Lulu...such a handsome and fierce looking beast...and VERY well endowed.”

She said as she eyed what was between his legs, licking her lips and shudders, imagining what it would be like to have him mount her in full lust. Even Luna herself couldn’t look away. But she shakes her head and clears her throat.

“She is still as troublesome and in heat as always. Forgive her, Zemrite. She is the one that told me about what has just happened. Why...have you become this beast?”

He sighs and lowers down, sitting on the back of his feet and places his arms on his thighs.

“I should have told you and Tia from the start...but I was afraid of what it could mean for me…”

He said as he lowered his head. Though he slowly lifted it up when he felt Luna’s hand run over his arm gently.

“You were afraid to tell us because you thought we would see you as a threat to our subjects and treat you as an exile?”

He pins his ears to his head and nods. Luna shakes her head with a gentle smile and rubs his arm gently, Nightmare Moon coming to his other side and eyes him up and down.

“I don’t think that would do that to you, handsome. You are just a big ol pup I am sure. That is only if you aren’t in a blood frenzy though.”

“Well, I only get like this when I am in a fight. But with the rise of the moon, I suddenly changed. And it is a full moon that changes me. Though I don’t want you to think this is your fault, Lulu. It is just how the curse works after all. Usually I am able to control when i change. But full moons compel me to change into this...monster.”

“A damn sexy monster at that~!”

Nightmare Moon said as she pressed herself against him, only to pull away when Luna shot a glare in her direction.

“It doesn’t matter. This is still a serious matter.”

Said the voice of Celestia as she appears in front of him. She looks up at him, eye to eye. Though he turns away and lowers his ears more, shutting his eyes tight

“Tia...I…”

He feels a gentle hand caress the side of his muzzle. He slowly opens his eyes to see a smiling Celestia with a gentle and loving gaze in her eyes.

“Zemrite...look at me.”

He does so hesitantly.

“Is this the only thing you were hiding from me and Lulu?”

He nodded, starting to shake a bit.

“I am sorry Tia...I really am. I should have just-’

She continues to gently caress his cheek, shaking her head.

“Calm down, Zemrite. I understand the fear you felt when you did not tell us what was under the flesh. And you were wise to come out this far so as to not frighten the ponies and your new friends.”

“I..I didn’t want you, Lulu, Twilight and the others to see me like this.”

“Zemrite?! Where are you?! Please come back!”

His fur stood up on end as he indeed heard Twilight calling for him. His first instinct was to run far away from here, but Luna and Nightmare had him by the arms, and Celestia shook her head, as if knowing what he was going to do.

“She needs to know as well, Zemrite. As my most faithful student, and the fact that you are staying with her, she must know everything about you and what you are, including this.”

She then calls out to Twilight.

“Twilight Sparkle, over here, we have found him!”

“Princess Celestia? Is that you?”

“Yes my dear. And Zemrite is here with us to.”

Oh thank Faust! I was so worried about him! I-”

When she came into the opening and saw the hulking beast standing near the princesses, and Nightmare had disappeared before hand, she stares at Zemrite in total fear, he can visibly see her shaking and he looks away from her.

“She is scared of me...that’s all there is to it…”

She could hear his voice under the growly tone. She stopped shaking enough to approach him slowly.

“Z-Zemrite…?”

“Hey Twi…”

He said as he lowered his gaze.

“This..is why you ran away…?”

“Yes Twi...I didn’t want you to see this. To see one of my favorite ponies look at me with the eyes you did earlier, and even now…”

Celestia began telling Twilight what she had just found out about him and this form.

“So..this is a curse? Can it not be prevented with magic?”

Zemrite shakes his head.

“I am afraid that it in my blood to become this during a full moon with no choice. I can resist it, but as the moon rises, the control lessens. That’s why I left quickly like I did.”

He stands to his full length, Twilight gasping at just how large he was.

“I don’t think you or anypony else would want to see this running through Ponyville.”

She looks him up and down, eventually her eyes fell between his legs just like Nightmare’s, a huge blush coming across her cheeks as she saw his entire sex. She shakes her head roughly.

“I-I see. Well, at least I know now why you seemed so irritated...but Zemrite, I want you to know I was extremely worried about you when you left. I thought I had done something to upset you…”

“And Iam sorry I lashed out at you the way I did...I was just in so much pain at the time.”

“So, how long does this curse hold you for?”

“I will change back when the dawn comes. And the next full moon, it will happen again.”

“And there is no way to even help you suppress it?”

He shook his head.

“I am afraid not. No magic will be able to hold back my transformation. Believe me, it has been tried. But enough of that, I suppose I will have to go and find somewhere comfortable in the forest to slumber for the night.”

Before he could turn and make his way into the forest, Celestia grabs his hand and shakes her head.

“Oh no mister. You are coming with me. Beast form or not, I will not be having you sleep without a comfortable bed. You can stay in the guest room at the castle for tonight. I will have guards stationed at your door and order them not to disturb you. Then you can return to Twilight’s in the morning.

?Are...you sure, Tia?”

“I am. Now come on, let’s get you back.”

She looks at Twilight.

“This stays between us. Alright, Twilight?”

“Of course princess. I would never tell another pony about this. I know that is what Zemrite would want anyways.’

“Very good. Now, head back home, my dear. And sleep well”

“Wait!”

Twilight shouted before she ran up to Zemrite and wrapped her arms around his waist and nuzzled into his side. This surprised him.

“I know you are still you Zemrite...and I know you wouldn’t hurt me or frighten me intentionally…”

“Thanks Twi...I really did need to hear that from you…”
