The Lost Sun
Acceptance
Previous ChapterNext ChapterOnce the sun rose up to begin the day the castle began to prepare for the coronation and each had an important task, that way things would be done quickly with perfection. Sound alseep the pregnant prince was snoring while dreaming as he turns on his back in a deep sleep against the comfy blanket that hid his bruised body from the massive fight between him and Discord. With caution a servant enters inside the door to do her daily cleaning not knowing the prince was inside, casually she walks in with her magic and begins her work humming a soft tune to herself and quickly levitates the blankets that held Toren so she could properly place them back to normal so the bed would look nice for the prince.
Toren looks at her smiling ammused as she continued to clean the room, a thought came to him so he taps her with his tail teasing her. Quickly she looked around curious then goes back to work as she made the bed, instantly flipping Toren on the ground near the side and crashes right into the closet with his head. Before he could get up he looks over and see the mare looking at him in silence as their thoughts tried to gain back to form a small conversation, carefully she goes to him to fix his mane with her magic before going back to work.
Intrigued by her approach he sits up and watched her "Um excuse me miss? You don't have to clean in here I was more then willing to, and no offence I was still trying to sleep", he says as he rubs his head.
She stops and looks back "Oh so you're not the prince just a commoner? Oh my apologies for I must have misheard from the Princesses. They said to wake up the prince and clean his room so he can have breakfast, forgive me sir for disturbing you.. I will leave now"
Gently he stops her with his magic and goes to walk to the door "No don't go. Um, here", with magic he makes a small bow and puts it in her hair and smiles "This is to thank you and the apologize"
"Apologize for what?"
"Because I am the prince...and I made you feel foolish when all along you were right. This is the right place, and if you please excuse me I'll be leaving that way you can finish, thank you for waking me up", he stretches his body out "Because I don't think personally I would have never woken up which means I would have missed my coronation today, and let all those guests down who came from all over just to see me. So you saved the day so thank you"
He kisses her hoof and leaves so the mare who was blushing could get back to her job so she wouldn't be distracted anymore. Shortly after he leaves his body began to tilt over to the wall and sighs smiling "Woah easy there chaos don't you start on me now we have a big day today...well I do at least. Is that bad that I'm nervous? Should I be nervous?"
Curiously he stops and waits to see if he could feel anything and sure enough a small hint of movement went against his side that was very faint causing the stallion to chuckle "Okay okay maybe I shouldn't be so nervous can you blame me though? I mean you may not know this yet but after today I'll become part of the royal family as a prince, cool right?", he says as he looks at his small belly bump with a small smile but nothing happened "Huh? I take that as a no? Okay then suit yourself but one day you'll come to find that your dad will be a great king someday."
Not wanting to make them wait longer for breakfast he starts to walk again as he made a small grunt that lead to him to laugh "Oh you heard that? Well at least I know you can hear me.", he stops and sighs "And I am literally talking to myself, but I'll admit it's a good way to relax and enjoy what I have. Oh but if Starlight saw me now she'd properly laugh", he chuckles to himself as he continued to walk down the hallway trying to focus.
In the distance across the walls a shade follows him near his shadow with red eyes that narrowed towards him waiting for the right moment to strike, and it stops when Toren began to turn his head it disappeared just as the stallion looked behind.
Concerned he uses magic and almost hits Discord who was right behind him "Woah easy son it's me!"
"Oh dad it's you.. I'm sorry I thought I was being followed by something and I", before he could finish he grunts breathing heavily trying to calm down but his eyes glowed red terrified "What's happening to me?", he looks at his father scared as he growled trying to control his magic.
Unsure what to do he uses his magic and touches the overwhelmed prince gently on the stallions shoulders holding him down, each having their eyes glowing trying to balance the darkness of the curse that was part of the price to pay for having the Larocks. Looking at his son concerned about both him and the unborn he touches his horn so he could try to end the dark current. Terrified of what was happening Toren began to panic and backs up against the wall trying to figure out what to do to end this madness until he screamed in terror of losing himself, and what was held inside of him that he has grown attached to and wanted nothing but happiness in the world against the evil that was placed along with it.
At that moment his chest ached hearing his son suffering from the curse and what it was doing to him "Just hold on son.."
"I'm trying!"
"Come on think! Think of something else to distract you!"
"I can't", he screams in agony and falls curling into a ball crying "Something's wrong! Something's wrong help me!", he growls screaming in tears as his claws sink deep against his stomach by the darkness that was torturing the child that was attacking him from the inside with dark magic.
Close behind was Sombra hiding in the wall like a shadow that he was who lurked for his prey that was now Toren, who was in complete control of the prince who was cursed with the Larocks that he bestowed upon him and was now strong enough to unleash it at last. Hearing the sound of Toren'a cries comforted the shadow to start laughing loudly so much that Discord turns around and sees him for the first time after years of waiting to seek his revenge when he returned from death so he could kill again after what he has done to his son.
Toren looks at him breathing heavily trying to get back to reality as he sees his father confronting Sombra "Dad! Get away from him!"
"No Toren! He is going to pay for having you suffer!", he says as he uses magic to attack the shadow.
Ready to fight to defend his family the draconequus growls at the shadow and attacks against the wall "Come here you coward! Come out and fight!", he looks around and goes to Toren wrapping his body around him in a circle "Get away from son and face me so I can finish you for good!
"Dad..stop!", he says as he lifts his head up finally able to gain control of himself "I can no longer feel his control it just disappeared."
"Not for long son he'll be back, and we'll be ready for him this time.", he growls "If he thinks he can take you both away from me he's got to deal with me first"
Touched by his words he puts his claw-hoof on his dad's shoulder "Awww you do care"
"Of course I care Toren! You're my son and I'm not going to stand by and watch this happen to you. We will get through this and fight for your life, and your baby I promise, Come on let's get out of here.."
Carefully without hurting eachother they seperate barely to make room so the two creatures could stand up stretching like cats from a long nap. Toren looks at his father who was stroking his goate trying to come up with a plan to destroy the shadow king once and for fall, realizing something else he looked at the doors that lead to the kitchen almost forgetting about breakfast with his mother who was waiting for them, so he uses his magic to trip his father over on his face.
Angrily he gets back up "Tauntarus Chaos Draconequus!"
"Sorry I couldn't think of any other option, besides mom is expecting us we need to hurry before she gets worried"
"Oh right breakfast, let's go I'm starving race you to the kitchen?"
He smirks and nods "You're on!", he says as his tail trips his father so he could get a head start laughing in victory.
Discord laughs as he gets up and flies after him and tackles the stallion causing them both to spin into the kitchen in full speed, desperately Toren used his wings to stop their rude entrance and flips his father in the air screaming until he crashes into the large cake for the coronation party. Before anypony could speak or do anything the chef walks in whistling to himself as he stepped on the frosting and looks up to see all his hard ruined, he looks at his staff and with magic throws a frying pan at the wall upset.
Unsatified he throws plates "What have you crazy lazy idiots done to me masterpiece for the prince!? It took all day n'night to perfectly place my one thousand fine fire sparks candles! Now it it dead and the party is in four hours now I have to start from a scratch!", he takes off his hat and stomps on it multiple times.
With a smile Toren wipes off parts of the cake from his face "My Apologizes chef it was not the staff that ruined the cake it was mine, and his.", he says as he points at his dad that was standing by the cake "See?"
"Oh you're highness it twas you? But why? Did you not like dah cake? Was it dah fire sparks candles? Or the whipped cream flowers? Oh no it must have been the chocolate covered crystals! It was wasn't it? Don't lie I can take it tell me!"
Carefully he walks to the cake and uses a spoon to taste it and smirks "No actually it's perfect! Hmm maybe if I try to fix it we might be able to save it"
"Oh but of course! But how? The cake is over dah floor it is a lost cause to recreate your excellency", looks at the clock "And we only have 3 hours and ten minutes to remake it before the party"
Toren rubs his chin and looks at the clock "Maybe not chef, what if I gave you more time? Would you be able to remake it?"
"Hmmm it is possible yes but the ingredients are from Manhattan and Ponymania. And take days to come to dah castle. Unless you preferr a different one?"
"Yes make the finest cake with what you have, I'll love it either way if it means you get more time, I'll give you two extra hours then bring the cake in. It can be a surprise grand royal cake opening!", he says while wrapping his wing around the chef "How about it?"
The chef smiles inspired "Yes! Yes! Yeees! You are genius and so kind your majesty!", he kisses his cheeks one at a time "Thank you mucho merry now go I must create! And thank you again it shall be dah greatest cake in Equestria! No dah greatest cake in all dah world has ever seen!", he throws a pan at the staff "Move you lazy bums we have work to do!"
Not wanting to disturb anypony he teleports with his dad to the dining room laughing to themselves where his Aunt and mother were waiting unammused by the very long wait. Each male looked at eachother then to the mares who were glaring as they remained seated in the chairs with their food still on the plates getting cold.
Toren looks at them smiling nervously as he sat down "Um good morning sorry we're late we had some delays. Hope you weren't waiting to long?"
Luna scoffs "Two hours to be exact nephew and now the food is cold that we prepared for you"
"Oh I'm sorry it's just well along the way we had some complications..dealing with Sombra..then destroying the cake..", he says as he uses magic to make the food hot again and takes his first bite of the pancakes.
Concerned about her sons comment she stops him "Wait did you say you encountered Sombra? But I thought he was destroyed at the Crystal empire when Cadence used the Crystal heart to defeat him? How is this possible?"
Toren looked at her and then rubbed his eye to hide his liquid pride in the distance proud of his daughter's victory over Sombra seeing that the prophecy came true after years of longing. But before he could get a word out about what happened to Sombra who injured him with dark magic the draconequus goes to her with a kiss to calm the worried mare. Ammused by his own parents a smile beamed as he covered it with his claw-hoof to hold back a few laughs as Luna looks away disgusted.
Not wanting to see more she uses her magic to poof Discord back to his chair "Discord please not near the table I'm trying to eat in peace!"
"Oh you're just jealous Woona that I have you're sister while you're still alone", he says as he rubbed his claw into her mane.
Before Luna could speak further a sound of laughter creeped above them that echoed around the room that was unsettling to acknowledge as they watched a shadow begin to appear around them in a circle. Carefully they watched without moving as the shadow flashes to reveal a face that was smiling with narrowed eyes that glowed red as blood that they showed signs of fears and anger.
Slowly Toren snarled at the shadow "Sombra", he says as he lifts his head up finally able to look at his enemy to seek his revenge.
Quickly the dark shadow turned his face to the prince and smiles "Well if it isn't the lost prince at long last, I've been waiting for you", he says in a dark tone as he circles around him and places his shadow tail under Toren’s chin "And look at you. You've become strong, handsome, and very, very useful"
Celestia stomps on the table "Leave him be Sombra this has nothing to do with him! This is between you and I alone!"
"Oh but he is Princess. You see I no longer have a body as you can see...so with his gifts and mine he'll make a fine king"
Toren growls at him as he hits his ghost tail "With darkness, and I'm not interested in your pathetic plan! It won't work because you'll be dead when I'm done with you!", he attacks the shadows with his magic and breathes fire in rage "I will end you for good this time like I should have done years ago!"
Not thinking things through he attacks the shadow with a stream of magic with narrowed eyes that were focused on the hideous face attached to it not knowing that at the end of it was slowly moving to his stomach. Luna opens her wings and goes to his side and attacks it with her magic and begins to use it against the enemy who was responsible for this to happen to her nephew.
In rage she goes infront of Toren to face the one she once loved "Leave Sombra! Now while you still have your life before I finish you myself! You're not wanted here!"
Gently the shadow circles around her "Oh Luna you're still as beautiful when you're mad, it's a shame you and I never got our happiness.. we could have gotten our dreams together. I still think of you and what we had until we lost everything because of your sister"
"No! The only thing you lost was yourself when you choose to harness darkness as your ally, instead of I who could have been yours forever...but no you choose your desire that destroyed the one I loved..so I will spare you once but if you cross my family once more I shall be the one to end you! And give you permanent release! Leave!"
Her tone lowered as a warning to the monster as he nods towards her then looks at the prince either a small chuckle "One day we shall meet again and it will be the last time you'll never see the light!", with a cruel smile he disappears leaving the royal family concerned as they all looked at eachother in silence.
"Toren you should not have done that", she's says disappointed in her son for his careless action.
Toren looks around and goes to her "Mother he's weak he had no way of getting to me after all I am part draconequus", he winks at her with an evil smile to bug her even more until she hugs him.
Discord glares folding his arms tightly against his long chest "Yes that maybe so son but you're forgetting that he has already attacked remember? He nearly
had you in his grip with his mind!"
"I am aware of that but he didn't do this time, he just looked at me."
Unammused his lifts an eyebrow all serious while growling angrily "Yeah to see you attack! Which is what he wanted you to do so he could take advantage of your powers to use them against you! You need to think before you act unless you want that kid if yours to live!", harshly he looks away from him in silence.
Toren stops and sighs as he walked to his father "Come on dad, I know you're just worried about me and chaos but you can't stay mad at me forever, right?"
"I can try if that's what it takes to keep you from killing yourself", he says as he lifts his chin "Toren you're my son, my world, if I lost you in anyway I'd never be able to live with myself, and that's forever so please...for our sake can you please not let your emotions get the best of you, and try to fight to defend who you are without hurting yourself? Can you do that?"
He sighs "Alright I will..I promise"
Gently the mares went over to Toren wrapping their wings around him in a hug to reassure the prince to be more aware of his actions so he could live a full life with them. In gratitude for their love for each other they began to tear up as they held eachother in a big hug and kissed the stallion until he began to laugh and tried to get away from their grasp.
Giggling he uses magic to teleport behind them "I appreciate your concern but I can handle this. Now if you all excuse me I have a mare I need to meet and hang out with"
Before he could leave a dark blue aura grabbed his tail to pull him back "Not so fast nephew there is a matter to discuss at hoof. It's about the unborn..it appears to be more you need to know of it to prepare yourself for what lies ahead, and the possibities"
Curiously he turned around "Does this involve my dreams?"
She nods "Yes it does nephew, and I'm afraid it's much more stronger than we realized that Sombra will use it as an heir, and take its magic to create a monster but..."
"But?"
"The monster will have no sense of reality, which is why we have come up with a new plan to save you both, but it comes with a heavy price.", she stops and looks at her sisters to allow her to speak with her son.
Now worried he looks at his mom "Heavy price? I don't understand..", suddenly he began to growl "What are planning on doing to it? And if you're planning on destroying it you'll have to go against me"
Both grew silent as Celestia carefully walks to her son and lifts up his chin with understanding the stallions feelings toward the baby "No son nothing like that all, we would never destroy an innocent life that harshly. We have another way but I'm afraid you've grown to attached to it, so now it's going to be more difficult for you to seperate yourself and have it placed in somepony else."
"Somepony else? You mean?"
"It will a be great sacrifice but it's only way to save you both from the darkness. You'll still have the connection just not as strong"
"But..who would carry it?", he says with tears in his eyes trying to be cooperative to the plan "And how will be able to seperate it without causing damage?"
Gently Luna looks at him "There is spell that I know that will transport the unborn to the new host as a substitute until it's born. However the host has to a pony that holds the strongest connection to you and must be willing to sacrifice themself to carry the child, and half of the darkness.", without another word she looked at him with guilt knowing who it was going to be.
Realizing what she was trying to say he backs up "No I will not have her do this! Aunt Luna there must be another way she'll never survive.. it could kill her!", he says as tears fell down his face instantly leaving him only to look away "I will have no pony die because of this.. I will survive this, even if it means I'll be placing it in danger..at least I'd die a hero by bringing a life into this world..", he begins to walk towards the castle doors until he felt a hoof on his shoulder and grabs it.
"Son please reconsider your decision I know you're trying to be strong, but we can see the affects of the curse that is weakening you, and causing great pain...I can't lose you again and raise this child knowing you'll be gone..please.."
Hearing her voice trembled ached his heart as he gently pulled her hoof off "I'm sorry.. but I can't"!, in tears he runs away crying knowing she'll never have him after this but know he was trying to protect the one he loved from a cruel death sentence.
Meanwhile at Twilight's castle the holders of the elements were getting ready for the coronation that was held in two hours. On their way to the castle the apple sister siblings were headed to Rarity's boutique to help her with the dresses. Excited to attend the coronation and see Spike Applebloom was running to the fashion industry in full speed that she was crashing into other ponies. Ammused by her sisters tactic she goes after her carefully through the crowd to catch up with the optimistic young mare who was not even aware of her surroundings that a pile of cabbages were right infront of her, and crashed right into them head first, breaking the cart.
Trying to hide a laugh the mare lifts up her sister "Applebloom we're not late we are two hours early, besides we still need to get ready for the coronation remember?"
Blushing she realizes "Oh yeah I forgot, sorry sis I guess I'm a little excited to see Spike that I well.. broke a cart.", she says disappointed in herself as her sister fixed the cart and paid for the ruined cabbages.
Unsure how to handle her sister who was in love she smiles and rubs her head "It's alright Bloom now let's go before ya break anything else.", wanting to see Rarity she quickly trotted to the boutique.
In the distance she could hear her little sister laughing "Now look who's in a hurry, looks like somepony has a crush to".
Quickly she covered her mouth and whispers worried "Quiet Bloom somepony might hear ya!", she looks around as ponies go by the two mares "Please Bloom you're the only one who knows that I have these feelings for Rarity, and if they were to find out who knows what it'd do to her career...I don't want that for her to happen"
Guilty of the way she acting she wipes her eye "Oh Aj I'm sorry.."
"Naw don't worry about it. It ain't your problem now come on let's go.", she says while hearing glass being smashed against the wall at Rarity's boutique "What in tarnation?!"
Worried about what was happening she goes to the door but it was locked from the inside so carefully the mare listened but only to sadly hear Rarity yelling at a stallion with a familiar voice. Wanting to help she remained at the door with a willing hoof ready to fight for her if she got hurt in anyway.
Applebloom folds her arms "Aj you're easedroppin-", before she could speak another word her mouth was covered by her sisters hoof.
Intrigued to know she to listened as Rarity grew louder "I just can't believe you'd do this is to me after all I've done for you and your buisness!! You over grownbrut!"
"Now Miss Rarity you're a sweet but I feel in love with somepony else...I'm sorry truly I am..please forgive me..", he says as he tried to touch her cheek that was soon smacked away "Ouch!"
Her eyes widened "Well I'd never! And to think you've changed and cared for me! I was a foal to fall for you, why don't you just leave!"
He sighs and begins to walk away but stops at the door to look at her "I'm..sorry you feel that way..goodbye Miss Rarity and good luck.. I wish the world for you", without another word he looks away sad to hear her crying that he grabs the knob with his magic to open it causing the mares to quickly run to stand toward the door as it opened "Oh excuse me ladies coming through"
Aj glared at him as he walked away from their sight and tried to go after him but was stopped by her sister "Aj don't..let im go. But I wonder what happened?"
With a sigh she looks at her "Not sure sugarcube..um..why don't ya go to Twilight’s castle I'll go help Rarity."
Quickly she smiles and jumps whispering in excitement "Oh sis ya gunna make a move and finally get the mare of your dreams!", she looks at her with an evil smile to bug her even more until she uses her hoof to push her forward "Go on sis now is ya chance, good luck!"
Before she got a word out to defend herself her sister was already half way across town "Oh Bloom if only ya knew better..just like Granny always seeing the bright side to the impossible.", in fear she swallows it by pushing her hat forward and walks in to find that the light were off "Rarity? Ah ya in here?"
With a sniff she response back "I'm not in here go away!", she says as she hides on the ground crying to herself.
Gently she chuckles "Oh ya not? Well then I should probally get my ears fixed because I cound a have sworn I heard ya.", lifting an eyebrow she walks in the distance across the ground "Come on Rarity ya can't hide from me besides we have a coronation to go to sugarcube", she says as she felt a tail "Ha I found ya!"
Quickly she giggles admired by her attempt "Um that's not me try again", she says while looking at her slowly with a soft smile as she makes her way through the clothes "You're getting warmer"
Blushing she realizes it was her coming closer so she back up "Ah Rarity why are the lights off? I can't see a thing use your magic so I can see!", trying to look around for light she bumps into Rarity falling on her body into to the ground with her back as she laid untop.
Softly she turned on her horn so they could see "Here", her voice trembled softly as they blushed.
Nervously she looked at her "Oh Rarity! I-I'm sorry I'm so clumsy an I couldn't see and-", before she continued a hoof was placed on her mouth.
Smiling she giggles as she looked deep into her eyes "No it's quite alright darling, although this place does need to be cleaned..alot", she says as the light turned back on showing fabric everywhere by the fight against Fancypants.
Letting out a soft chuckle ammused by the mare's aggression she gets up to extend a hoof out to her "Here why don't I help ya while ya tell me what happened", she says while looking at the mare blushing.
Embarrassed by her mess she nods agreeing to take her generous offer "Alright"
Quickly by the earth pony's strength she was lifted up like a feather and together they began to clean up the house in silence as they each a moment to look at eachother without the one stopping the other doing it. Confused by these feelings she gulps nervously trying to stay calm as she looked at the mare, blushing instantly by her strong body full of muscle that tightened everytime she lifted a box of clothes to place them away. Gently she walked towards her which was easier said than done with no plan to follow after, but kept going following her heart that was so blind to not realize this sooner. Trusting her instincts she stopped and lifted the mare's chin to look at her and kissed her cheek in gratitude for their friendship and for her generous offer to help her, it lead to another kiss across her other cheek slowly tasting her fur against her flesh that it was hard to breathe.
Not wanting this to end she sadly denied it as she placed her hoof on her shoulder "Rarity..Um ya never told me about what happended? Now that we have eveythin done you can tell me?", she sits down rubbing her hoof against her arm trying out fight the urge.
Gently she nods and sits beside her looking at the mirror "Well to put it gently darling he feel in love with another mare while still being with me, he never went to her but just the way he said it... well I got angry as you can see by the mess I made."
Trying not to get mad she looks at her as she listened then spoke "So that's it? You're just going to let him go? You're not gunna fight for him to win him back? To change his mind?", she looks at her to wait for her to look back or speak.
Seconds passed into what seemed like a lifetime until she looked at her "No, he made his choice. And I'm glad you came by when you did.."
"I'm kinda glad to Rares", she looks away and sees her reflection and hers "Rarity? Can I ask ya something personal?"
With great care to keep her close she placed her hoof on her shoulder "Well of course darling what is it? What's wrong?", she says while looking at her concerned.
Nervous she rubs the back of her head to lie "Well I have this friend who has a crush on her best friend, but can't find the courage to tell her the truth...afraid she'd make a foal of herself", she looked at her "Got any advice?"
Not wanting to upset her friend she takes her to the mirror and places her hat on the table in order to fix her mane "Well for starters you need to tell your friend to just tell her crush the truh, how she feels about her and...", leans against her cheek with hers "Make the move"
Turning red her eyes widen "The move?"
"Why a kiss darling, the kiss is what seals the deal in relationships", she explains more as she brushes the earth pony's mane "And a very special moment that should not be taken lightly"
Curious to know what she was doing her eyes shifted to see her grabbing some blue gems "Like with Fancypants?", she says disappointed in herself as her eyes looked back to the mirror.
Stopping from what she was doing she sighs looking down guilty "Yes, exactly", with magic she takes the gems and begins to place them into her friends mane "You're lucky you don't have all the ponies around you all the time, sometimes I wish I was you a pony that can choose her ways, and not have everypony watching her every move..", before she placed in another gem Aj turns her head to look at her almost in tears, instead her face was partly red to fight them off with a stern look.
Gently she walked away from her sight "No Rarity..ya shouldn't wish to a pony like meh..I'm nothing but a earth pony who plows fields and picks apples!", he looks up and sighs to look down ashamed "What pony in their minds would want somepony like meh.."
Unsure what to say to her she placed her hoof on her shoulder "Applejack..", carefully she lifts up the mares cheek to wipe her wet eyes "I would"
Shocked she turned red unable to breathe "W-what?", choking in her words she watched as Rarity went closer to touch her chest that held her heart that wanted to jump and run away.
Deeply she looked into her eyes with a gentle approach as she continued to lean up to her "Applejack, kiss me."
"No Rarity I can't!", she puts her hoof on her mouth not thinking clearly as she tried to hold back her emotions that she looked away with her body looking down "No...you..knew all along didn't ya?", she says while looking down embarrassed.
Trying to reach her she gently lifts her chin up to see her face that showed tears "Of course I knew, you're not a good lier, especially since you carry the element of honesty..your lies are easily shown when you try to hard to hold back the truth.", she says while looking at her and smiles in tears that feel against her face to the floor.
Grateful by her approach she looked at her deeply and puts her forehead against hers still in tears "Well you're right about that, but I only lie when I'm scared and unsure of what life might bring to me...I'm sorry.."
"Don't apologize.. your heart is so loving that you hold back to protect it. I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you.."
"Ya didn't..I was just ashamed that you knew, and that knowing we'd never be together..Rarity?"
"Yes?"
Finding her courage she puts her hoof against her cheek and leans in close to her "Can we do it slowly I'm still nervous and..are..are ya sure you want to do this?", she says trying to understand without causing tension.
Blushing she kisses her "Yes", she looks at her smiling ammused as they kissed again only this time it was much longer than the first.
Wanting more they continued to kiss the unicorn even more until she uses her strength to lift her up against the table kissing her all over to feel her fur against her flesh that sung across her every nerve that her knees began to shake. Strongly her emotions took over as she kissed the mare after years of dreaming about this moment she was at last living it, but before she continued she grabbed her hat and puts it on Rarity's head and kisses her again only this time to find her lower body and began to tilt over to the small hole that was placed between her legs. Determined to end this on a high note she watched as the mare moans in delight feeling her lips kissing her legs to slowly reach what lies ahead that was ready for her heart, soul, and to taste.
Satisfied with their make out with eachother the orange mare went to her face and gave it one last giant kiss before looking deep into the unicorns eyes "You sure you want this? If not I understand, I don't want to be a tool or to do this knowing that you're not gunna be with me...please tell me now"
Gently she kissed her lips to lays against the table and puts her hoof on her cheek "Do you really think I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't love you? I was so blind by my career that I never saw what my heart wanted...it was you Applejack", she looks deep into her eyes almost in tears "All along from the moment we began to help eachother, with our talents that we formed a bond that can never be broken. So please don't ever doubt what we have, you don't need to be afraid anymore..", she says as she puts her hoof on her heart "Follow your heart and listen"
Believing her words that were true she kissed her lips again passinnately as she pulled her hips to her stomach so deep that she moans in delight feeling her strong muscles against her clit that rubbed against it for a moment until the mare reached down to kiss it. Gently she licked it as she uses her hooves to spread her legs apart to open them to reveal the small pink held inside that widened far enough so she could place her mouth inside it, smelling her strong scent of ecstacy as her tongue went inside to swirl it around the edges of the mare's clit. Biting her hoof Rarity let's out a soft gasp as she jerked her head back against the table in awe as the farm mare begins to taste her with small kisses that turned into deep endless nibbles with her tongue, and teeth that devoured from the inside. Firmly with no hesitation she used her hoof to gain her attention by pressing it inside to hole, and begins to move it back and forth that soon followed to a kiss to help the unicorn relax her body. Within seconds that lead to minutes her hoof went further inside her in every thrust she made causing poor Rarity to moan louder and louder by her strength that grew more rough as they kissed again only this time not wanting to stop their love making they were at last ready to make that final step to truly be a couple.
Exhausted they positioned themselves with heavy breaths to keep themselves focused, and slowly the unicorn opened her legs wide so she could allow her mare to finish the job. Distracted by her beauty she stares at her with small breaths until her horn glows to bring her close to her clit, and prepares herself to feel her hoof shove itself back inside so deep that her body twitched as it was getting ready to release the result of their love. Strongly she could feel it coming and without hesitation she gave a small push and instantly moans as her body unleashed a powerful current of pure bliss as she continued to pour out more in every thrust that followed into an intensed reaction causing her legs and vagina to go numb. Not wanting this to end she uses her magic to pull Aj to her lips as she continued shove further inside her until she let's out a moan in satification by her indurance that she collapses against the table with her back breathing heavily trying to calm down as her cum dripped down to her tail. Exhausted by their unique relationship they are forming made the mares giggle knowing that this will be something that will be remembered as they lived their lives together by this experience. Tired by the thursting she walked on her three hooves to watch it off in some warm water by a small sink that held a tiny mirror above it. Curious to know what was going on she looked through the mirror to see the poor unicorn trying to get back up onto her hooves properly without falling. Ammused by her attempt she walks over to help her by lifting her off the table and puts her up against her chest, each on their hind legs that way she could gain back the feeling on her back hooves that were still partially numb by their unique experimenting.
Softly she lifted her chin up "You okay sugarcube? Can you walk?", she says concerned and worried that she could of really damaged her nerves with her strength.
Focused on her legs she looks up "Yes I'm fine dear, really.", with sincerity she placed her hoof on her chest "Thank you"
"Thank me? For what it was you who gave me the courage to-", she was stopped by her hoof as they chuckled softly each holding a small blush towards another.
"No not that", softly she kissed her cheek "Although I'll admit that was part of your way of getting to me..but", she stops herself and looks away and begins to walk to the mirror sad.
Intrigued by her stance she walked over to her and places her hoof on her shoulder "Rarity?"
Not sure how to phrase things she sighs softly as she looked at her with a small smile but nothing happened instead she hugged her so she wouldn't cry "Thank you for coming to me when you did..I know you didn't have to help me but you did.. you care so much about those around you that you never see your own happiness..so I'm grateful I was able to help you for helping me see who I was made for..and because of you I was able to have my career, my dreams, everything...and now...", she looks at her in tears with a small expression of gratitude "Now I have you..and that's all I need to love with my whole heart"
Tears fell down her face by her words that she kissed her lightly and held her close in a deep hug "Oh Rarity..I don't know what to say", she says as her face turned red annoyed with mixed emotions as she tried to hold back her tears.
Unable to speak to her directly she looks up "You don't need to say anything your company is also I need", before they could speak another word the clock rings loudly, scaring poor Opal to give under Rarity's fainting couch.
Realizing about what she came here to do she hits her hoof on her forehead "Oh the coronation! Landscape I completely forgot we need to hurry if we're gunna get there ready on time!", she says while looking for the dresses.
Ammused by her attempts to find them she uses her magic to levitate the mare to her side "Allow me darling watch", she says while a light blue aura surrounds the rack of dresses, folding them into a nice pile that was neatly placed into a wagon Applejack made for her awhile back.
With a smirk she puts her arm around her "Well aren't ya full of surprises, and you still have my wagon I built ya? I thought you didn't like it?"
Giggling she shakes her head "I do, but it does come in handy when I have big orders to deliver, now that we have everything ready let's head down to the castle, shall we?", she says as she puts the harness on the orange mares back.
Wanting to remain by her side she kisses her cheek "Of course lead the way sugarcube"
With a small smile she watched as Rarity opens the door with her magic and together they walked together down ponyville close by eachother as they headed toward the castle to get ready for the event to support their friend on his big day to be crowned the newest heir in the royal family.
Meanwhile at Canterlot the castle was in full swing with decorations all around as servants finalize their tasks as for Toren well he was trying on his new suit which unfortunately needed to be adjusted. Focused by his work a stallion was sewing up his brand new attire with care so it wouldn't get ruined again by the large muscles that somehow managed to unstitch his stitches he carefully mended weeks ago. Admired by his own work he rather enjoyed coming back to fix the suit for was delighted to see the handsome hybrid again after weeks of being apart, for to his own knowledge he grew very fond to be next to the prince and get to know him more.
Carefully he puts in more thread through the needle "Now be still your majesty your suit is almost finished!", he says with a small giggle while moving to the other side of hybrid with a small trot.
Letting out a small breath he nods as he stood on the circle "Sorry about the suit I guess I should be more aware of what I do. Thank you for coming last minute to fix it QuickStitch you saved myself from embarrassment", he says as he lifts his head up so he could finish.
Charmed by his words he blushes slightly and continues to sew "Oh it's quite alright your majesty, I'm always glad to see you because I know you are going to look amazing in this suit, and be so handsome as you get your crown!", without another word he spins around then sews again with a sigh "And soon you'll be officially a prince!".
Ammused by his enthusiasm he laughs while shaking his head letting out a grunt that he gets poked by the needle "Ow QuickStitch! That hurt!", he says looking down at him annoyed.
Blushing he fixes his scarf and uses his magic to grab a handkerchief from his pocket "My apologizes your highness but I'm afraid it was you who moved! I told you to be still because if you don't well you bleed, see?", shows him the bloody handkerchief respectfully as he looks at him "But I am sorry please accept my apology I need this job.."
Ashamed by his temper he lifts his chin up with his tail and looks at him "No it's fine QuickStitch it was my fault please continue on", he smiles and goes back to his pose with a wink allowing him to finish.
Unable to speak he grabs the needle and tried to quickly stitch the last remaining fabric "Alright there all done what do you think?", with magic he unfolds up his tall mirror and puts it on its three legs infront of Toren "You like?"
Unsure what to think he turns to the side to see his work and to himself was surprise that he was unable to see his bruised belly that was carefully covered by the fabric that held his metals from the war with a nice white sash over his left shoulder. Grateful by the unicorns work he smiles before seeing how different he really looked at his own reflection in silence as their thoughts tried to reach out for an answer.
Wanting to know he walks to him "Do you not like it? Was the sash to much I can take it off if you like?"
"No it's not that QuickStitch it's just that I look"
Before he could the unicorn smiles and trots into place getting excited "Fantastic? Stunning? Faboo?"
He sighs and looks at himself in the mirror "Different"
Confused by his answer he thinks then smiles as he fixed his metal "Well I guess that works to now if you excuse me I'll must go and cater the guests tah tah", he says as he trots to the door "And whatever you do don't sit otherwise it will break again", with a small giggle he opens the door unaware that Starlight was near the door waiting.
Toren watched as he left the room through the mirror then begins to walk to the window and sees all the guests coming in "Wow! Look at them all here coming in just to see me? Me? No pressure at all.", he lets out a small chuckle ammused by his own joke.
Unable to feel her nose she rubs it with her hoof as she hears Quickstich humming to himself "Oh if only he knew how I felt about him then he'd see why I ruined the suit the first time on purpose", he laughs to himself and sighs "It was my way to come back so I could see you one last time. Oh Toren you handsome hybrid you're such a tease", he puts his heart on his chest as he fixed his scarf with style as he walked away to greet the guests.
Trying not to get caught she covers her mouth letting out a small laugh as he disappears "Well looks like somepony likes you to Toren. Awww to bad he's already taken", carefully she sneaks into his room and hides behind the closet.
Curious to know what was going on and to talk to him she watches as he paces back and forth talking to himself "Okay get the crown, speech, try not to faint. Get the crown, speech, try not to faint.", he stops on puts his claw-hoof on his head "Oh this is going too be terrible chaos. Daddy is starting to panic and it hasn't even started.."
In the distance he could hear the laughter coming from the closet so he looks at the mirror so he could see who was behind it and waits and whispers "Three, two, one", he looks around and sees Starlight infront of him with a soft expression on her face and turned red unable to breathe another word.
Hoping that she didn't hear him backs up blushing "Star! W-what are you doing here? H-how did you get in here?", he looks and she's her giggling and sighs "You heard me didn't you?"
Trying not to be mean she sighs softly as she looked at him holding in her laugh "No of course not! I totally did not hear you..t-talking to", before she could finish she burst out laughing almost in tears.
Annoyed by her response he turned even more red embarrassed "It's not funny!"
"Yes it is! Oh and I love the nickname you gave it's so cute!", she says within her laughing trying not to laugh herself to death.
Toren looks at her getting angry by her rude behavior "Come on knock it off will you please?! Somepony will hear you!", he covers her mouth with his claw-hoof to hold back her emotions causing her to snicker "Are you quite finished?"
Realizing that she made him upset she stopped and grabbed his claw-hoof with her hooves gently smiling "Hey I'm sorry really I couldn't help it, I just never thought you'd do that", she says as she puts her hoof on his cheek "I think it's a cute if that makes you feel better?"
Still unsatified with her reaction moments ago he looked away "Still I don't appreciate being laughed at, it's embarrasing enough as it is", he sighs looking at the mirror "When everyone finds out they'll probably laugh in disbelief that I am. Seeing you react that way already gives me a glimpse of what to expect when our friends find out the truth about us, and.."
Before he continued he could hear her walking to him and she stands on the circle and leans up to kiss him gently to comfort him "And little chaos"
Flattered by her comment he smiles as he looked down then to her "Yes but.."
"But nothing Toren! I don't want to hear it!", she looks at him sincerely "They will love the baby and be thrilled that we are together and knowing pinkie she'll throw a huge party in our honor", she kisses him passionately causing him to chuckle as she wrapped her hooves around his neck to kiss him again.
Tempted to kiss her even more he stopped "Woah easy there miss you're going to ruin my suit", he kisses her cheek "Thank you for coming and you're right I need to relax and not overthink the worst"
She smiles towards him "Glad to hear it."
"But I'm curious to know why you came? What's on your mind? And don't tell me it's because you missed me, something is bothering you...what is it?"
Unsure how to start the conversation she steps off the circle and looks at the mirror "Why did you leave?"
Gently he goes to her "If you're wondering if it's because of you it's not", he says as he rubs his neck "My family needed help and in honor to do that I had to make things right by leaving, and in return we became a family again...after the fight", those last three words caused both the mare and stallion to look at eachother in silence one having anger while the other had regret.
Without warning she grabs his ear with her magic and let's go "You did what? Are you insane you could of gotten seriously hurt or killed and not only you! How could you do that!?", in rage she goes infront of Toren and sees hints of bruises that were covered by his suit near his neck and glares.
Nervous he tried to calm her down "Starlight before you get more mad allow me to explain further information about what happened", he says as he lifts his head up finally able to look at her.
In return he received a nasty glare and wanted answers "Start talking"
Clearing his throat he gave her a kiss and showed her the fight between him and his father that lead to them on the balcony laughing, soon after the kiss he placed his claw-hoof on her shoulder "See? I'll be fine it's just bruises at least I can still walk"
She smacks his hoof off "Yeah because your mother has to bring you back from your death! Forgot about that when you hit your head against the wall when your father had you by the neck?! Or when he threw you across the castle after he hits you?!"
Their eyes narrowed towards eachother in silence until he looked away "Look I'm not proud of it either but in the end it worked out.. and for your information I used a protection spell after he got me! So the only that got hurt was me..the baby wasn't even involved as we faught, and there may have been a better than solve it...but", he sighs while looking down "By the time I got to the castle he was angry and ready to hurt her that is until I got involved with him"
Saddened by what he told her she went to him and placed her hoof on his side and kissed it "You better hope that your dad lives long enough to see you when I'm done with him", he chuckles trying to hold back his laughs as she looked at him still flustered.
With his tail he lifts up her chin and looks at her smiling "Hey come here", gently he hugged her "I'm sorry I know that you are just worried but we're fine..", before he spoke further he could feel it moving "And I can prove it"
She glares directly at him "How?"
Without giving her warning he grabs her hoof and places it on his side to where it was "With this", he watched her as her eyes went soft as she felt it move against her hoof ovee his suit that a small few tears feel across her cheek, he softly sighs relieved.
With a gently approach she kissed his side and looked at it then to him with her hoof still on him "You're terrible and the most difficult stallion that I have ever", before she could finish her sentence he kissed her lightly as tears both feel from their faces in gratitude of eachother and their bundle of chaos.
Gently she smiles "Okay you need to stop doing that everytime I try to talk you end up", he kisses her again only this time just to get on her nerves while he rubbed her leg with his tail teasing her "Toren stop it!", she says as she puts her hoof on his mouth making him laugh until she stomps on his tail with an evil smirk.
Not wanting to yell he bit his lip and lowered his head to her "Really? You know I hate that...it's still bruised along with everything else but still!", he says as he lifts his tail up away from her vision.
She chuckles to herself as she used her magic to pull his sash to kiss him "Sorry you deserved that", softly he kissed her again then stopped and looked down knowing that she was right "So promise me that you'll no longer try to kill yourself and not leave without a note at least, okay? You had me worried that I couldn't think straight, focus on anything else wondering if you would ever come back and"
Gently he stops her with his claw-hoof this time and looked at her with an opened mind "I love you too, and I have been the same way I'm glad you brought this up. Because I feel like we're moving to fast and I want to get know you better before things get to serious. But I hope if we do that step forward, and become a couple that I will do anything in power to make you happy."
With a small smile she kisses his nose "And I will do the same in return and speaking of getting to eachother I want to know something...please be honest"
Intrigued by her question he tilts his head "Okay I will so what's the question? I'm listening"
He closely watched as she rubbed her leg with her other hoof nervous then looked at him "When you first came to Twilight's castle you said you were transferred to the Crystal Empire as captain, but how long were you there?"
Trying to remember he looked up rubbing his chin hard "Um not very long but...I do remember serving and traveling there from time to time to visit Shining Armor...when my parents passed away well the ones who raised me I began to walk around the world to explore outside of Equestria, and I helped many villagers, and fought alongside my mother when I faced Sombra for the first time", he stops and smirks remembering the fight "And how he cursed with the Larocks that he bestowed upon me in revenge against my mother I just found that part out yesterday...but when I was helping some injured soldiers I came across some foals who wanted me to help them get their ball that was in a tree...I even saw you."
Her ears perked up in shock "You did?"
He nods "Yes, it when you were a filly, you were walking by yourself, and you tripped and feel so once I got their ball I went to you because you got hurt", before he could speak further he watched as Starlight widens her eyes remembering.
Surprised so points at him that he admitted the truth that she was hoping he'd say "You were the guard that helped me! You healed my leg and kissed it, you even gave me a teddy bear with you magic so I would feel better!", she looks at him smirking "It was you! But I won't lie you are a good kisser for somepony who is over a thousand years old."
Her reaction ammused him to softly lift one eyebrow "Who said that I'm over a thousand
years old?"
"Oh you're not? but I thought you were?"
He chuckled "I am I was just teasing, and yes it was me but I'm immortal so yes that does me over a thousand years old.", he explains as he rubs the back of his head "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner I guess I didn't really recognize you until we kissed at the gala when I looked into your eyes. I know that sounds stupid of me to say but after all I've gone through its hard for me to remember everything, especially the ones that were painful reminders of what I lost", he says as he looks at his own reflection in silence.
Seeing him sad ached her chest as she went to him "It must have been hard for you, seeing your friends and family die and to never be with them. I can't imagine the pain you had to go through, and continue to live on knowing that you could never die....I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you", she sighs looking down "I just wanted know the truth so I could understand why you left, and now I know why you did what you did"
Getting emotional by his memories he swallowed hard to contain himself from crying "I know what you're trying to say, and you had the right to know...I just hope that my actions haven't affected anypony else...that's my biggest regret is leaving just so I wouldn't hurt myself more...", he sniffs to himself as he continued to talk to his reflection that showed his red eyes ashamed "All my life I ran away instead of facing my feelings and to let go of the past, but for some reason I can't because it's hurts to much.."
Filled with mixed emotions her heart reached to her eyes to let out a few tears feeling his pain "I know and I understand why..I really do but there will be a time when you need to mourn..", she says while looking at his reflection "Because that's how we can move on and have peace, knowing that eventhough the ones we love are gone, we can still have them with our memories that we created with them when they were alive"
Accepting her words tears fell down his face instantly leaving him only to nod toward her in silence unable to speak, instead he made soft grunts while holding on to his side as she puts her hoof on his cheek to give him support. Not wanting to rip his suit he takes small breathes to calm down until he was fianlly able to look at her, gently he placed his forehead against hers still in tears as she kissed his head proud of him for taking that first step. Meanwhile in the distance was QuickStitch moving forward to the room excited about the coronation to begin, with magic he turned the knob which caused the couple to turn over panicked, not knowing who was behind the door.
Quickly Starlight went against his side nervous as the stallion looked forward all serious until the door revealed his suit caretaker "Alright your highness it's time for the coronation!", his face turned from excitement to anger in seconds when he looked at Starlight "Omgoodness! What is going on here you can't be here!"
Gently he wraps his wing around Starlight as he smiles at his servant "No it's fine QuickStitch she's a close friend of mine", he says as the mare giggles to herself.
Not enjoying what he was seeing he smacks his lips unsatified "Well with all do respect your highness but I'm afraid she can't"
"I understand", with his claw-hoof he moves her hair to kiss the mares ear and whispers "Meet me at the pond next to the garden grove", he says as he lifts her chin to kiss her forehead "See you soon"
Without another word the mare walks away to leave the stallions alone for a moment as the door closed behind her "If you were like me you'd be even more handsome with me", he says as he sighs defeated knowing that the prince has chosen who to be with.
Intrigued by his comoment he goes closer to him "What was that last part?", he says as they waliked together down the hallway.
Nervous that he might have heard he began to trot away from him "N-Nothing, alright just stay here and wait for the doors to open", quickly he walks away from the prince scarlet red embarrassed.
Flattered by his feelings towards him made Toren chuckle as he shook his head not realizing it sooner. Trusting his own judgement he smiles in gratitude that he managed to interest his own servant to like him that way, eventhough in his heart he loved Starlight he began to blush very fast by the new information.
Anxious about the coronation his body began to ache in agony "Easy there chaos I'm okay, just nervous that's all", he sighs finally ready to accept his crown to one day take his mother place as the rightful King of Equestria from harm, darkness by creating peace.
After seconds passed into minutes the doors opened to reveal a red carpet that lead to his mother who was smiling with pride to see her son who walked in confidence as he looked at his friends gently in gratitude of their support. Not sure what to expect he continued to walk forward and heard laughter from two mares that were focused on his presence as they giggled blushing when he passed them with a nod smiling, causing them to look at eachother in disbelief. Toren looks at his father who was smiling back at him by using his magic to bring the pillow that held his crown and necklace.
Smiling at her son she gave a bow and in return he bowed his head down to the queen smiling "Mares and Gentlecolts today I bring to you the newest member of the royal family, not only that he was the one to bring back the holders of the elements back together again that brought my sister Luna to me long ago, and now somepony that was very close to me back into my life..", with magic she levitates the crown and necklace to place them against his son properly "And now I present for the very first time, Prince Tauntarus the prince of peace."
Overpowered by their cheers tears fell down his face instantly as he looked at his mother who was left with tears of joy as his father placed his paw on her shoulder so he could rub his son's head with his tail teasing him. Overwhelmed by his new path to rule beside his family the hybrid smiled as he looked down beginning to glow out of nowhere. Disburbed by the light the crowd began to grow silent as they watched him slowly rise above everyone until he fully disappeared within the light like a huge sun that shined so bright that it began to blind everypony. Unsure what to think they watched as Toren slowly opened his wings to reveal his new outward appearance to the crowd that cheered louder then ever by clapping as the prince looked down to see his cutiemark that was once a black half moon with spikes was now a yellow circle that held a star with swirls in the center, not only that but his mane was hightlighted red that was mixed with his old black mane and tail. Admiring his new look he smiled as he used his wings to spin around to show off to the crowd that cheered wanting more as he used his magic to create sparks that flew out to land ontop of their heads.
Curious to know what was going on Luna goes to her sister and placed her hoof on her shoulder "Sister his cutunmark has changed along with his outward appearace, what does this mean?"
Smiling softly she watched her son enjoying himself "He has grown up and has found his trueself sister", she says as Toren flies down to greet his friends and small foals who came to see him up close.
Very carefully they watched from the distance as the prince interacted with the foals by using his magic to levitate them in the air to play with them as Starlight giggled with her friends until Twilight goes between the sisters "But Celestia that doesn't make any sense, can a cutiemark really change? Has this happended before?"
Luna looked at Twilight and shook her head "No, this is thee first time this sort of thing has occurred to a newly crowned heir, let alone anypony of any kind to exact."
"Then why now?", she asks them rubbing her head trying to place an explanation but fails, leaving the two princesses to stare at the queen who was smiling.
Gently she moved her eyes to Discord with a soft smile, then shifted her eyes to the confused princesses "It could be that has found his new calling, and he is part draconequus so it could be a chaotic transformation", she says leaving her soon-to-be husband to chuckle to himself.
In great confusion the two mares looked at one another wondering what she was meaning so much that they didn't realize that Celestia was walking to the prince to get his attention and whispers into his ear "Say something"
Nervous to make a speech he follows her by placing the foals next to Starlight who were trying to get back to him but was stopped by her hoof gently "Don't worry he'll be back soon.", her words allowed the two foals to listen and stand by her as she watched her beloved walk to the center of the alter.
Growing more anoxious he began to sweat from his brow shaking until he felt a hoof on his shoulder, turning his head to the side he could see that it was his mother showing support "You'll be fine go on you can do it, I promise they won't bite."
Before he could respond she kisses his cheek then walks away to stand alongside Discord who was trying not to cry liquid pride in the distance. Trying to find his courage he looked around the crowd then to his friends who were rooting first him quietly as they possibly could as Starlight held on the foals with her arm around it smiling toward him that it was causing the poor mare to blush very fast as she continued to look at him.
Finally after it grew silent he used his magic to place magic near his throat so he could be heard "Fillies and Gentlecolts...um..I thank you all for coming and for those of you who do not know me...I am the son of Queen Celestia and Discord who was once called The Lord of Chaos by his past when he was evil..", he looked back to his parents and smiles as he looked back to the crowd "And so from now on he shall be known as Lord Discord the King of Change and I hope that someday I will live their legacy by spreading light into the world against darkness, and create a world with love and peace".
Quickly the crowd cheered louder then ever by clapping as the prince looked down then back to his parents who were behind him touched by his words as they cheered in unison "All hail the prince of peace long live Prince Tauntarus", proud of their new ruler his parents hugged him tightly as they kissed his cheeks that causes the stallion to blush very fast embarrassed.
After the coronation was over the kingdom rejoiced by holding a daylight gala in honor of the newly crowned prince so each pony would have a chance to meet him up close. Overwhelmed by the visits the stallion began to grow very nervous as he tried to carefully anwser each question that was placed along with a gently bow in respect before speaking and as they left to attend the party.
Desperately wanting this to be over the prince begins to walk away until a pink mare attacks him with a huge hug "Oh Toren isn't this so exciting? You're finally officially a prince!", she gasps "Which means you get more attention and sign important papers as you constantly get followed by fans! I'm so happy for you I could just explode by how excited I am!"
Trying to breathe he uses his magic to pull her off but fails "Pinkie I can't breathe!", he laughs as she held him tightly so much that they both fall over laughing "Pinkie why?! Good grief where do you keep all that energy?"
Laughing she grabs a piece of candy in her mane "By eating lots of candy and burning it off with pinkie attacks!"
"Pinkie attacks? What's that?"
Before she responses she grabs his face and pulls it to her eyes "It's top secret that not even my own pietwins know! Not even I know so it's....a secret weapon.", her voice was so disturbing that the stallion grew nervous.
Gently he spoke with sincerity "Um pinkie if it's a secret weapon why do you always use it?"
"Because it's my way to come back to my dreams and follow my destiny as the best party planner and guest specialist!", she hits her forehead and laughs until her knees shook that lead to her ears twitching with a tail spin "Woah! That was a baby flop dooza! Wait that only happens when I'm near a soon to be mother!", gasps and looks around Toren to find the mare "But where is she? My Pinkie sense is never wrong! Who is having a foal!
Without warning she goes to random mares and talks to them so fast that it made a scene to where everypony began to stare at the prince who was sweating with anxiety until he felt Pinkie sitting on his back "This makes no sense I went to every mare that was close to you and nothing!", she rubs her head "Come on Pinkie think!", she says as her pinkie sense happened again causing the stallion to teleport them outside in the garden.
Unsure what to do the prince began to pace back and forth as the mare folds her arms "Hey what gives?! I almost found out who the mare was it was right under my nose! I'm starting to think you knew who the mare was and got nervous that I would find her and reveal her!", gasps excitedly "It's your mom isn't it?! You're going too be a brother!?"
Looking up irritated he uses his magic to put her down so he could lay down "No Pinkie it's not.", he looked at her sad "The reason why you couldn't the mare because it's...me", closing his eyes he waited for to laugh but to his surprise she was completely silent.
Shocked by his secret the mare smiled so wide that her face began to hurt as she jumped into the air so high that she lands on a tree branch "What!? You're having a baby?! How it that possible?! No wonder I couldn't find the answer I was on it all along! Literally!", she says while looking at him with an evil smirk "Does Starlight know?"
Trying to figure out her impossible stunts he gets up and flies to her "Yes she does and so does my family. I know this is hard to understand but I am, I was cursed"
She snorts in laughter as she pointed at him "Cursed? How is having a baby a curse?! Babies are great! They're so tiny, cute, and so much fun to play with!", she says as she falls off the branch but was soon caught by Toren as she continued to talk "Not along that but babies are just like us but way smaller and they always make the most difficult times better!"
Not sure how to respond to her enthusiasm he puts her down and lands next to her rubbing his head "You know you're really quite good at making the most stressful situations into a complete whole outlook that I am almost wishing that you should have been a princess along ago, that way things would been done differently"
Flattered by his compliment she jumps up excited "Ooh do I get wings and a horn too!!"
He laughs as she continued to jump in a circle "No I'm afraid I don't have that authority yet until I take my mother's place, sorry"
"Oh ponyfeathers! Oh well it was worth a shot!", she looks at him but only to quickly go against his side to investigate "Wow you've been hiding this really well Toren! I'm impressed by how you were able to hide your baby under this suit!", he laughs as she looked under him that her mane tickled his sensitive skin "Stop laughing!", she says while looking at his stomach and sees his small belly from a different perspective "Awww you do have a baby in there! I remember my first time..Wait that was my only time until..well life took a nasty turn...but don't you worry because your Auntie Pinkie will make sure you have the best party ever!"
Intrigued he looked down to find Pinkie with her head titled to the side looking up then looks back up chuckling "I appreciate your offer but I don't think a party is necessary"
Insulted the mare jerked her head back to glare at the stallion in disbelief to hear those words and grabs his face "No party?! No party! Are you crazy of course I'm going to throw a party for your baby! Not only that a royal baby hello where's your sense of fun?!"
Worried about what was happening Toren began to walk backwards "Look Pinkie I'm honored but I'm not really into parties like you. Besides after tonight by how I reacted I'm not really sure if I can..", he says as he lifts her chin "Look I'm sorry, I'm not trying to hurt you're feelings....I'm just afraid that the rest of our friends won't be as thrilled like you"
Trying to understand she sighs in defeat and looks at him softly "Okay okay maybe we can work something out. Until then I'm still planning it's birthday parties in the future! Deal?", she says reaching her hoof out to him.
Rolling his eyes by her approach he smiles as he shook her hoof "Deal, as long as they are settle"
"Oh fine family and friends only, cross my heart and hope to fly stick a cupcake in my eye!"
"What?"
"Don't worry you'll get the hang of it once I teach you."
In the distance they heard a group of ponies running to their direction "Oh no it's must be the guards in a search party to find us", knowing what had to be done the mare goes infront of him "Pinkie what are doing?"
She looks at him "Don't worry I got this just follow my lead", she faints pretending to be play dead when really it was just her faking it.
Gently he tucked his wings back against his sides with no sign of emotion as he saw black figures coming closer "Oh Pinkie I hope you know what you're doing", she glares at him in silence until he looked away with her body stretched out by his legs.
With magic he unleashed a powerful current towards the group and growls at them "Oooh that's good Toren great job!", she says while dying again leaving him to only look away from the mare irritated by their unique relationship they are forming which made her giggle knowing that this will be something that will be remembered.
Determined to protect himself he holds his ground placing on claw-hoof over pinkie to protect her incase they were bandits, but slowly his body began to relax realizing it was their friends coming to rescue them with Starlight in the lead going straight to him "Toren!"
Hearing her voice softened his heart as she held him close to her with a powerful hug that lead to a kiss "Oh thank goodness you're okay what happened?", she says while looking at him worried as he placed lips against her lips again.
Surprisingly shocked by what was happening the mares looked at one another wondering who was gunna speak first, instead they giggled amongest themselves at the couple kissing as Pinkie remained in her position not knowing that they were kissing. Forgetting about her friends she placed her hoof on his cheek smiling in gratitude for their love for each other that allowed her to understood why he left as she looked down at the very mare who caused the problem to begin with.
Gently with her tail she tickled Pinkies nose "Hey that tickles Toren that wasn't part of the plan", opening her eyes she saw that she was next to Torens leg and blushes "Oh hey guys..um..me and Toren were practicing our new magic tricks for the gala next year and we wanted to get a head start, right?", she says winking at the couple away from her other friends in the background.
Trusting her game he follows her lead "That's right it's called..um..", looking around he smiles "The Secret", he says as he lifts her up and puts her on his back with his magic "Allow me to demionstraight, as you can see a have a mare on my back", he says as he walks around Starlight and whispers quickly "Pinkie knows FYI so play along if you want this to work"
Her face glares at Pinkie who was smiling nervously as he continued to walk down to their friends "So as you see she is on my back but only to find that it's really a flower"
"Wait what?", she looks before being turned into a a bunch of roses that were each placed into thier manes "And now with the help of Miss Glimmer I'll bring back Pinkie with a kiss", he says as he lifts her chin up to whisper into her ear "Sorry it was the first thing that came from my head"
She chuckles trying to hold back her laugh "Just kiss me already"
"Gladly", he says with smirk as he gives her a romantic kiss that was so powerful their horns began to glow.
Worried about their magic exploding the mares hugged eachother in a tight embrace as they lowered their heads as their horns created a bright white light that completely covered the couple into a bubble that began to slowly rise above the ground. Unsure what to think they watched helplessly as the stallion looked forward to the mare in shock to see themselves in the air with this powerful circle that was not part of the plan. Trying to figure a way out of this he used his magic to teleport them outside of the orb but fails to realize that as he was looking for a way to escape the baby moved, but instead of feeling pain he felt a warm, fuzzy, of what appeared to be a small hoof. Unable to speak his eyes went down to see that he was healed, the brusies faded away slowly along with the ache that was held by the injuries. Surprised by this change his face instantly looked at Starlight who gave a soft smile as she makes her way through the air to reach him to recieve another kiss as they held eachother in a tight hug as their lips remained sealed together with tears falling down in happiness.
Forgetting about Pinkie they looked at one another wondering what to do until they smiled thinking of a perfect way to bring her back so with their magic they looked up, and watched as the circle began to fall apart leaving sparkles of light that formed into a star with swirls in the distance, together they used their magic to transform it back into Pinkie who was exhausted as she waved her hooves "Tah..dah..."
Carefully without hesitation he held pinkie in his his tail tightly with Starlight in his arms as he hovered in the sky above thier frlends who were cheering for an encore, as for the three performers they each had a moment to look at one another before they all sighed in relief that the plan worked so well, almost over well that it made them worry. Not wanting to make things difficult for them he puts the two mares down with his magic as he landed on the ground as their friends clapped in unision begging for more stunts.
Tired by the act she looked at Toren trying to stand "Never...do...that...again..", she says as she passed out on the grass to relax.
Gently he walked to the sleeping her and out her on his back with a small whisper "I promise as long as you don't say anything about the you-know-what, deal?"
With droopy eyes she nods "Pinkie Promise..me lips are...", she yawns exhausted and lays against his suit "Sealed", she says while snoring.
Unsure what to think he turns to the side and sees Starlight next one him as he walked to his friends and sighs "Alright everypony let's out back inside and enjoy the rest of the party"
A month later after the coronation things began to quite down in ponyville as Starlight walked down the streets with Twilight looking for some groceries for the party for Rainbowdash's son to celebrate his first monthaversary after birth party that Pinkie planned herself at Twilight's castle. Carefully they looked through some food carts to purchase some items to take home, distracted by her mentor Starlight began to look around the crowd as the purple Alicorn continued to interact with some ponies as she used her magic to place the essentials inside her bag. Thoughts ran through her head about Toren so much that her overheard a conversation between two mares that were gossiping about him so she hides into a barrel next to a cart full of cabbages so she wouldn't get caught as they stopped right infront of to discuss more about her prince.
In confidence the first one speaks in a deep accent through her nose "Oh did you see how he looked in the suit it was like looking at a tomato about to explode", she says while laughing with the other mare.
"Oh I know if anything he should have been crowned the prince of puke instead! I mean who would ever be with him I mean he's okay if ya want to have an in-law be a hideous monster along side the princess!", laughing she uses her magic to eat an apple while listening to her friend.
"Oh I know what was she thinking when she decided to mount the beast? He probably put her in a spell to secduce her. Talk about eww!", she sighs as she puts on some lipstick "I just feel sorry for the poor thing having to deal with all the drama between his so called parents who aren't even martied and yet they are our rulers now? What example is that like eeeew"
"Oh I know and speaking of eeeew did you see the way he looks at that one mare? What was her name again Stardust Dimmer? Or was it Starshine Glimmer?"
She sighs softly "Who knows, and all I know is that she's Princess Twilight's star student apparently", she puts her hoof on her friends shoulder "Do you think he likes her? And she likes him?"
The other mare spits out her apple chunks "Eww! Gabbyflower why say that? Like O-M-EW!", she says while throwing the apple "Please like they'd ever be an item if anything the prince should choose one of us, because we prettier then she is"
Glaring she lifts up her head "Eww Sassafras you like him? I thought you said he's like a tomato? He's so big you'd never be able to be able to walk without be crushed, literally", she says making a coughing sound.
"He's not that bad looking, he actually kinda hot, and besides the bigger the stallion the bigger his friend is!", she says with an evil look toward her friend.
Disgusted by her friends sentence she makes an ugly face "Eww I didn't know you had a thing for the prince? Like wow you would really bang him wouldn't that hurt?"
"Like yeah and imagine feeling his fangs bite my skin and just have his claw tears me open just to get to my you know what until it rips", she pauses and looks at her seductively "With his big, giant, large, huge"
Before she could finish she stopped with her hoof "I get it Sassy you're into him but still he's fat!"
"Yeah in muscle dah! Look I'm tots starving let's eat before I get mad and like want to hurt somepony"
Sighing in defeat she nods and walks with her "Fine let's go to sugarcube corner at least it's good there, and I could use something sweet to distract myself from your gross fantasies"
"Shut up Gabby! You just mad because you want it to, and I said it first when you were thinking it"
As they continued to bicker and gossip about their opinions the mare quickly jumps out of the barrel to look at them unsatified with their words towards Toren "If only you knew what he going through then maybe you'd learn to be more respectful.", she smirks with can evil grin "But until then try this for size", she says as her horn began to glow lifting them up and throwing them into a wagon of dirt.
Impressed by her quick thinking she trots away from the barrel and bumps into a stallion with her nose and falls over unto her back, unable to see by the sun she covers her eyes with one of her hooves to see a stallion extending his hoof "Are you alright miss?"
Blushing she takes his hoof and nods while be lifted up surprisely at a quick pace "Um yes thank you I'm sorry I should have watched where I was going"
"No it's alright miss no harm done", with a gentle smile the stallion looked at her "Although if it were me I would have thrown them over a mountain", he says as he winked at her with an evil smirk.
Curious to know who the stallion was she squinted her eyes "Toren?"
"Well it's good to know that you recognized me before I did this", gently he kissed her lightly on the lips "Wait hold on I have a better idea"
With magic they teleported between two houses that was blocked by an old wooden wall that had a small hole, while on the other side held a brick wall next an empty box. Confused by his disguise a thought came to her head wondering how long he was there when she was hiding in that barrel to hear all the terrible things those mare's said about him and his parents. Without warning he looked around before he changed back to his old appearance to soon push her against the wall trying to gain full attention as he kissed her neck roughly but gently enough to not hurt her as he worked his way down to her stomach until at last reached her thighs to seperate them so he could devour her from the inside.
Distracted by his aggression she moaned as he lifts her up against the wall to widen her legs by placing each one across his shoulders that way he could easily place his nose inside her lips between her legs that shook when he poked his muzzle deep into the unicorns sensitive spot as an early snack that was quickly devoured so fast that she let's out a small cry for more. Carefully he continued to go further inside by pushing his face deeper, causing her vagina to stretch even wider than usual so much that she looks up crying by the pressure he was giving to her small hole that felt like it was being torn apart near the end of her clit as it moved up and down rapidly.
Biting her lips she tried to speak "Toren..why..were..you...in", before she finished her sentence she yelped by as he pushed in harder, unleashing a painful current against her flesh that burned across her every nerve that her knees began to shake "Ah! Disguise!"
Not wanting to stop he continued to taste her until she finally unleashed a small amount of pure bliss inside his mouth like warm thick milk that slowly went down his throat so deep that his body shivered. Breathing heavily trying to calm herself he slowly slipped out of her to kiss his beautiful mares clit gently as it leaked out the last amount of its own scent, he wiped his face clean by going against her chest smiling with tiny little kisses as she took deep breaths sweating lightly from her forehead.
Softly he kissed her chest "To answer your question I was disguised so nopony would recognized me.. that way I could be alone with you", he says as he kissed her "Without being mobbed"
Slowly he looked at Starlight who was looking away ashamed "Alone huh? Well to be honest I wasn't prepared for this to happen"
Guilty of the way she was acting the prince puts her down and lays on the ground folding his arms to rest his head and sighs " Okay you got me.. I may have overhead those mare's talking about me so instead of wanting to confront them... I decided to take my feelings to your very, very tasty"
Before he spoke any further he began to slowly go to her growling in a seductive expression as the mare giggles "Toren no!", she says as he was teasing her that she laughs so loud it echoed around the village "Toren stop that tickles! Cut it out you overgrown foal!"
Hearing her laughing caused him to laugh along with her as he continued to tease her "Me? And overgrown foal huh? Well then I'll keep playing with you mother!", he says playfully while tickling the mare ever more until she uses her magic to pull his ear to distract him.
Gently she let's go "Looks like somepony is being naughty and needs a time out", she looks at him evilly "Now go sit in the corner!", with magic she pushes him to the corner of the wall with a small giggle as Toren looked back with a lifted eyebrow unsatified.
Slowly she rose up and goes to him to fix his mane with her magic "Now say you're sorry"
Not giving in he looks away smiling as he pretended to be fussy "No!"
"Do it now or I'll send you to your room til dinner!, she says deepening her tone to intimate him but he didn't move a muscle "Tauntarus you better say you're sorry or you'll get no dessert", her tone went from dark to a gently deep temptation as she rubbed her tail against his back.
Wanting to remain in character he whines "But mommy I want dessert and sleep with you"
"Then say you're sorry"
"I'm sorry", he pouts his face trying to act all innocent as he lifts her up and puts her in a small gap between him and the wall so he could kiss her head "I wuv you"
Covering her face she giggled blushing and snuggled against his chest softly enjoying the sound of his heart beat "I love you to my baby", she pauses and looks at him "Oh and you to I guess"
Looking down he narrowed his eyes with a loving smile "Oh really?"
"Absolutely"
"Fantastic", he says as he lifts up her chin and looks at her smiling ammused as she kissed his nose.
Laughing at their roleplay they began to tear up as they fell over gasping for air in tears of complete joy by their own ammusement. Unaware of the other ponies a group of photographers were eating some sandwiches bored until they heard the couple laughing from the distance. Quickly they all got their cameras and climbed up the wall to take pictures to get a good story to put in paper for the new daily reads. Unable to see by the flashing lights the couple quickly left with a teleportation spell to find themselves inside Twilight's castle with unanswered questions about what they were panning on doing with the pictures, knowing the poperazzi it's never a good sign.
Embarrassed by it he rubbed his neck "Well um that was fun, right?"
Worried about what lies ahead she walks away from him and sits down "Yeah it was fun until we got caught..now everypony including Twilight is going to find out about us...", she says putting her hoof on her head "And you're starting to show as well which means.."
Realizing what she was referring to he chuckles to himself "It means that the world will finally know truth with a lie...kinda sad"
Annoyed with this situation she glares directly at him "This isn't funny Toren! This is serious and something that I wasn't ready to admit to Twilight or her friends..let alone the rest of Equestria!"
Slowly he walked to her and lays down beside her "Hey come on now, it's like you said before they are going to the baby and be thrilled that we're together..Unless you were lying to me?", he says as he turned her head with his claw "Because if so then I'll have to break up with you and leave", he says as he turns his head away from her smiling to waited for her response.
"Wait what? No you can't leave what about your mom?" And..", she looks down and sighs "You can't honestly expect me to let you go after all we've done? Toren I would never lie to you and I meant what I said because if they can accept me..then they'll accept you to"
Flattered by her comment he smiles as he looked at the mare who had tears in her eyes "Hey come here you", with his wing he brings her to his side in a hug "I'm not going anywhere anytime soon, and even if I planned on it you'd come with me", gently he kissed her head as she laid against his arm "And nomatter what they say about us it's nothing but lies that hide the truth"
Charmed over his support she kissed his cheek "You're cute when you care", gently she looked at him as she leaned against his cheek with her own.
In silence the couple remained together on the ground as they snuggled against eachother staring into one another with their tails twisted like a pretzel relaxed. Gently she rubbed her nose against his muzzle to keep the stallion awake so he wouldn't fall alseep eventhough he was tempted as his body faught itself to remain active.
Tired by the long weekend slowly his eyes closed as he spoke "Starlight?"
Stroking his mane she smiles "Yes?"
Trying to stay awake he smirks "What do you think the baby will look like? Or in this case what you preferr it to look like?"
Unsure what to say she giggles "Um...I don't know what do you think?"
Opening his eyes barely he chuckles "You first malady"
Giving up she sighs "Fine", before she spoke she looked at him then looked up rubbing her chin "Hmmm well healthy, cute, and a tiny version of you"
Ammused by her attempt he laughs softly "Well I was hoping for something else but I guess that will do...but besides that what else?"
"I told you a tiny version of you"
Sighing in defeat the stallion looked up to her gaze "Why me?"
Gently she lowered he head down on the floor to be close to him "Why not? You think you're not good looking? Because I think personally you're very attractive"
Flattered by her comment he smiles as he looked at his belly then back to her "Star please, humor me and give me a different answer?"
Intrigued she puts her hoof on his claw-hoof "Why do you want me opinion on this?"
"Because I...", he sighs "I just want to know that's all, so just tell me"
Both grew silent as she looked away and sits up as his wing went back to his side slowly until she stopped it with her magic and begins to tear up "You wanna know? I'll tell you!", she says as she puts her hoof on his belly "What I want is a healthy, strong, brave, selfless, chaotic, beautiful version of you....because I've fallen in love with somepony that haven't even met, but I already see that it will just like you.....and much more"
In tears she looks at his belly and kisses it then goes to him with huge hug as she wept to herself that was joined by his own tears "Oh Starlight....that was", he sniffs "Not what I expected to hear...now I feel awful for asking..."
Hearing his voice shake made her realize that he was scared and unsure of what life might bring to them, not only that but the darkness could possibly make the baby turn into a monster with no control over itself. That thought alone frightened them both not knowing what to do to stop it from destroying their baby, and it's future entirely which explains why he asked her in the first place so he could gain a new outlook to allow her troubled hearted coltfriend to find hope. Unable to form a small conversation they placed their heads together as tears fell down to the floor with mixed emotions that tore them apart to look away from eachother in silence until the mare reached down to lay by his side alittle longer before he closed his eyes exhausted as he fought against the darkness. Not wanting to leave the stallion alone she used her magic to wrap his wing around her kindly forcing herself to lay against the side of her beloved as she watched him sleep until she to slowly closed her eyes, and together they began to dream of the future with their little baby chaos. Without knowing that Twilight was standing by the door almost in tears that her student was in love with Toren that her ears turned back desperately trying to fight off her broken heart, knowing that she'll never be able to be with her, to love and to be more then just her mentor.
