The Lost Sun
Change of heart
Previous ChapterNext ChapterIn Canterlot all was quiet as Queen Celestia began to do her daily routine by signing papers to debate on certain rules or requests by her subjects for certain events. Bored by his new obligations the prince narrowed his eyes annoyed with mixed emotions as he continued to sign off the papers that were sent by his mother. Determined to end this to visit his special mare for their date he began to use his magic to rapidly sign each one without observing them first to finish the job so he could take advantage against time until his quill began to tickle his nose from the inside that he sneezed a small fire ball.
Gently she chuckled to herself as she used her magic to pull his tail "Now son don't rush yourself. This sort of thing has to take time otherwise you'll make a mistake and have to go to fix it.", she says as she looks at the paper that was burning at the end "I see you approved to have the school playground be taken down to replace it with a pool?"
"Wait what? No I didn't! Let me see that!", he says as he uses his magic to remove the flames and sees his signature "Oh, I guess I should have watched where I was signing"
"Nice try but I know well enough that you were trying to get out of your job, so you can see Miss Glimmer, why don't you leave this to me, and go have fun with Starlight. I can take it from here"
Unsure about leaving he laid like a cat next to her throne "Wait really? But I was suppost to help you"
Determined to continue without distractions she used her magic to teleport the prince infront of her and stops "I appreciate you willing to help but I think that you should go otherwise you'll end up making another mistake. Now go on before I change my mind and make you regret it by signing all of them until that baby arrives"
Disturbed he immediately teleports away from the mare who chuckled softly in victory while she continued to do her duties in peace. Ammused by the way things ended between his mother a small chuckle escaped from his lips as he shook his head not realizing that his father was he blocking the way so he crashed into his long body with his nose to instantly falls on the ground with his back.
Discord smiles looking down "Hello son nice of you to drop in!"
With magic he lifts Toren up by the tail like a fish "I see you are without your mother, did you already finish your first day on the job?"
Teasing him he rubs his head to ruin his mane "That's my boy!"
Feeling sick to his stomach he covers his mouth to hold in his breakfast and smiles "Um no not exactly...she wanted to do it herself because I may have ruined half of them...So I could go see Starlight"
Holding back his tears of complete amusement he takes out his laughing box and gives it to Toren "So you are dating the student of Twilight huh? So what's your plan? Are you going to take her to a romantic dinner, and sweep her off her hooves with a moonlight dance? Hate to break to you son but you're forgetting that you are stealing my trick that I used to"
Cruely he gave a small smile as he whispered the pregnant stallion’s ear explaining on how he was able win the heart of his own mother with detailed tactics that made the poor stallion nauseous instantly.
"Ah Dad!...I appreciate your um advice but I'm afraid you've grown to attached to the past. It's time you start moving forward with a fresh start if you want to impress mom", he says as he looks at his father who was stroking his goate
Toren shakes his head "Dad don't think to hard just follow your heart and use your chaos then the rest will just be smooth sailing"
Intrigued by the stallion’s idea he smirks while placing the prince down "Hmm smooth sailing huh? Alright I'll try but what if she rejects me?"
Stretching like a cat Toren smiles "Then find a way to change her mind and focus on one thing to motivate you"
"Motivate me with what?"
"By doing the one thing you know best old man", he says as he walks away "Causing complete chaos to give her a distraction to get what you desire"
Folding his arms he lifts an eyebrow "And what's that preggers?"
Stopping in the distance across the hallway he turns his head smiling "Pleasure"
Blushing the draconequus growls "Pleasure?! And how do you know that's what I want?"
"Because it's been over a thousand years since you two had sex, and once you're marked by a male draconequus their mate can't be with anypony. Which means that mom hasn't been laid in years, so now is your chance to be alone and make amends by dancing together"
Intimidated by the whole thing Discord blushed lightly and watched as the stallion walk away with a cruel smile knowing that his father was now traumatized in shock by the advice he gave to seduce his mother so they would both be satisfied by putting the past behind them to create a future, so he can be a big brother.
Nervous to face her he gulps "Alright Discord old boy you can do this", he says trying to motivate himself and sighs "Okay okay here I go, here goes nothing....here I go"
Slowly the doors opened to reveal the focused mare who was not even aware of a visitor and looks up to see it was Discord shaking like a leaf, frozen with fear, literally.
Before he spoke to her she smiles "Hello Discord, Hmmm Let me guess you're here to help me?"
Shaking badly the beast turns red "Ah yes, Toren said that he was unable to help so I decided to take my busy schedule to find a spot to help you finish, um unless you don't want my I understand if you-"
"Discord"
Discord gulps "Y-Yes?"
"You can start over with these", with magic she gives him a small pile of papers allowing him to stay.
Gaining his confidence back he used his magic to look at the papers carefully reading the words before approving with his tail, using it to sign them off quickly.
Impressed by his work she blushed as he continued the pace by having the pages being turned into folded scrolls into a new pile next to her throne in a box. Surprised by this situation the mare tried to focus by turning to the side away from the draconequus, showing no interest in the mysterious change she rolled her eyes with annoyance trying to ignore her feelings towards him.
Quickly he glanced at her blushing, swallows his fear and smiles in confidence as he lifts her in the air "Now let's start where we left off"
Narrowing his eyes to leaned in for a kiss as he snaps his claw to play music "It's time we have some fun"
Smiling she placed her hoof on his mouth "I appreciate your offer but that part of life is far behind me Discord..", sighs looking away ashamed "I'm to old to fall in again. Besides there are more things I have to do see?"
In less then two seconds a long list appears, Discord used magic to do it himself with a snap "There all done now we can enjoy ourselves"
Teasing the mare his tail strokes against her flank "By dancing", he says as he leans her head back and kisses her lightly on the neck.
Overwhelmed by the draconequus she poofs away and hides behind the throne "Oh Discord please..enough of your nonsense!", blushing she bites her lip "We can't it won't work out, you know what happened the last time we had sex? It lead to misery!"
Not wanting to make things difficult for them he flies down and turns the music down into a gentle approach as he extends his claw-hoof out to her showing kindness.
"Then until we do. May I have this dance your majesty?", gently he pulls her up against his long chest and slowly they swayed together in silence.
Guilty of the way she behaved a sharp pain entered her chest as she looked at him "I'm sorry I know you're trying but..I don't want to same thing to happen if we had another child, let alone hurt eachother all over again years ago"
Understanding he looks at her with sincerity "Tia listen to me.. I may not be able to change the past, but eventually you'll have to move on if you want to part of Toren's life..and so we can have new adventures as we support him along his way to become a wonderful parent to his child, while helping him rule Equestria one day as a future king"
Both blushing barely the two creatures stopped and looked deep into each other trying to make amends, not just fur themselves but for their son who needs them.
Celestia sighs ashamed and sad "Please Discord I can't...I'm sorry!", she says while flying away from his side, leaving him to be alone, again.
"Oh Tia", Discord sighs rubbing his neck as he walked to the window to see his son going to the garden "Good luck kiddo I hope you have a better chance then your old man who has to wait....I just hope it's not another thousand years.."
Meanwhile at the garden grove Toren was laying near the pond looking at his necklace guilty for blowing off his first day on the job with his mother who was looking forward to bond with him more by teaching him the ways of becoming a future ruler. Silence filled his mind with thoughts on how to handle the situation as a prince, father, and to be a future loving husband after years of running away from his feelings of hurtful deeds that have been buried in the distance untouched. Overwhelmed by the visions he stopped and lifted his body up to stretch out to loosen his sore muscles that quickly tightened when a branch broke from behind him.
Growling to defend himself he turned around "Who's there?"
Starlight grins walking forward "Well well well if isn't prince Tauntarus?", she says bowing "It is an honor to be at your company"
Starlight giggles "Sorry I couldn't resist Toren"
"Oh good, because for a moment there I thought you were being serious"
Gently he lifts her chin and narrows his eyes holding a evil grin "But I can change that easily"
Glad to see his marefriend he kisses her lightly on the lips, his tail rubbed against her flank making her giggle as they kissed even more until Toren tugged Starlight's back leg on purpose so she would fall backwards against the green grass.
Looking up into his eyes she placed her hoof on his cheek blushing "Oh I will never get used to that"
"Maybe that's a good thing", he says as he looks deep into her eyes leaning in for another kiss but was soon pulled back in pain by the darkness that was torturing his child that was attacking him from the inside massively so much that he turns his head grunting softly.
Worried her hooves moved his face to look at him "Toren? What's wrong?"
Not wanting to worry her about what was going on the stallion gives her a small smile while kissing her head "Nothing I'm fine...just um trying to still adjust to this whole idea of me expecting"
"Uh huh sure"
"It's true now don't you start", he laughs as he kisses her on the lips roughly but stops for a moment to look at her "I'm fine really now come on I want to show you something"
Gently he lifts her up to show her his surprise that he had in store for their fifteenth date, two months after since the night of the gala both Starlight and Toren have been secretly dating so they could be together without drawing attention to protect the baby from enemies.
Curious to know she follows to the pond and looks into it but only to glare to the side "It's a pond Toren"
"Not just any pond, it's an enchanted pond watch"
With his claw-hoof touched the water that slowly spun to show a little filly between them "It shows the future if what could and....what might be"
Seeing the new outcome of the reflections she felt her heart ache as the stallion began to slowly walk away from the mare in total silence.
"But why does one show us of a filly? Then one of you not there?"
Trying to figure out what to say he sighs still facing away from her "Because Star it's...", his throat dries up as he lifts his head up "It's showing my future if what could be me and..what might happen to me"
Caught in the moment her thoughts were unclear that were dragged in complete denial "But you can't die you're immortal! This has to be prank your dad is pulling on us!"
Starlight looks around yelling "Nice try Discord but the show is over! I figured it out! Now leave us alone!"
Not wanting to upset her the stallion turned his head to her guilty "He's not here he's with my mother, Star please I'm not joking about this...I am dying"
In regret he began to walk towards the mare carefully "Star? Please..try to understand the Larocks is more than just recieving the child but it's consumed by darkness that is slowly destroying us both....there's nothing anypony can do for me"
"No! I don't want to hear this! You're lying! Stop lying to me!"
"Star I'm not...believe me I wish this wasn't true but it is..look"
Toren turned his body to the side looking back to lifts up his wing to show his four month old belly that it was swollen with black veins hidden above the brusies by the darkness of the curse as his eyes began to glow red filled with tears.
Shocked by the sight of his body she gently placed her hoof on it to not hurt him "Toren...no, no no"
In tears she looks at him breathing heavily afraid, Toren looked at her with his glowing red eyes with sorrow knowing she was scared to death seeing him hurting this way.
"Toren there hast to be a way to save you and the baby!? There hast to another way, please whatever it is we can fix it, just tell me I'll do it"
Filled with agony the stallion looked forward once the dark magic began to slowly fade away "There is one way but...it comes with a heavy price....a sacrifice"
"Sacrifice? Like what? Tell me"
"It requires somepony to be willing to sacrifice themself to carry the baby until it's born. However the host has to a pony that holds the strongest connection to me"
Slowly he looks at the mare who was stepping back trying to understand until she smiles hopeful "Of course! It can be your mom or Luna, and they are older then you maybe they can help you"
"It doesn't work that way..it's only a pony that holds the strongest connection to me", he says as he remained away from the unicorn.
Knowing she was going to try to help him live with his gift to read minds, and parts of the future and past, this was one of those moments where he deeply wished for it not to come true for the consequence will be the greatest challenge in his exsisitance, watching the one he loves suffer a fate worse then death itself. Terrified of the vision of losing her he turns his head from her to hide his tears of complete agony so much that it caused his body to shake and tremble by the anxiety. Slowly the stallion looked behind her for a moment to see her standing still with tears falling down her cheeks.
Starlight watched him walk over to the pond before sitting down quietly, Toren tried to fight off his emotions by isolating himself so he would be able to break up with her.
Trying to remain brave she goes to him with her hoof on his shoulder "It's me isn't it? And please don't just say nothing"
Finally able to swallow his pride while nodding "Yes"
Hearing his tone so harshly made the mare nervous as their eyes met for a moment until he looked away "Toren please talk to me...I'm here for you just..."
"Star please just go home, I don't want you to burden you anymore so just go, I don't want you to hurt because of me...I can't be with you"
Sighing in defeat the mare stood up and goes to a tree trying to fight her emotions until she turns around in rage "No! I'm not going!"
"Starlight please just-"
"No! You're not doing this me again Toren! I'm not going to let you leave me alone like last time because you're afraid and scared!"
"Well you're right I am! Because it's different this time and I can't watch you see me like this knowing what has to be done! This is my burden to bear Starlight, not yours, or anypony by my own! You can't be with me because of my age, my curse that is destroying not only me but chaos, and now you Star!!"
Toren glares in tears "I will not have take my place because if it's doing this to me imagine what it will do to you! You have no chance! You're mortal which is why you need to leave and stay away from me for both of our sakes, just go.."
Falling apart in regret the stallion looks away wanting to die already so he won't have to hurt anymore by the curse, and now his heart that is breaking into tiny pieces.
Starlight looks at him crying as she spoke "But I cant leave you alone to die Toren! I've lost to much ponies in my life I can't lose you to...because you're all I have left.."
In tears the unicorn bites her lip looking down "I love you"
Those last words wounded his very soul that reached up to now his broken heart "Star please that's not fair.....You don't think I love you? Because I do and everyday that goes by my heart beats harder for you so much that my chest aches"
Not thinking clearly all he could do was use his magic to teleport himself to face her with a cold loving expression "You mean more to me then both the sun and moon itself..if I lost you and this baby I'd never live with myself knowing that"
Before he continued further her lips interrupts him, regretting his words in the long run if she left.
Starlight places her hooves each on his cheeks to gain his full attention "Look at me, I can do this and I don't care about the results..all I want is for you to be there by my side when that day comes...Toren I love you with all my heart so much that I want nothing else but you, only you..please let me help you"
Respecting her wishes all he could do at this point was place his claw-hoof against her back head "But do you love me enough to take your life? Star I see two paths for us. One where you succeed and we are together as a family, married, everything that I desire....but the other leads to you having the baby but not live to see it's face"
Overwhelmed by their discussion words were no longer an option anymore but instead the stallion grabs her tightly with tears escaping to reach his face in mixed hard emotions that Starlight could feel his heart beating fast by the situation she was putting themselves in. Longing to belong by finding her calling she knew in her heart that the baby had to go away from him, even if it meant her life was on the line for it. Gently in respect of his suffering that her lips kissed his belly then reached up to his very lips trying the best way she could to allow herself into the stallion with love, faith, and hope.
Softly she shook her head in tears "I can do this, but I need you to not give up on me, for us so we can be together with this baby....please Toren you know I'm right about this. You can't keep me away because it's not just you I want"
Not knowing what to expect by this great change they both looked at one another until finally it was broken off by a small kiss in agreement that he couldn't win this battle against her selfless decision.
"I may not fully agree on this but nothing I'll say will change your mind...your heart speaks for itself"
Looking down his claw-hoof goes to his stomach as he looked to her "I just hope that little chaos here will learn to love its mother as much as I do", he says while letting out a soft smile trying to be charming in this new outlook of no longer having this experience.
Touched by his sweet way of letting go her hoof goes to his cheek looking deep into his eyes "Oh believe me you'll be jealous to find that "she'll" love me more then you in two seconds"
Surprised to find the mare so confident he narrows his eyes smiling down to the mare to playing along her devious game.
"Oh really you seem so certain that "he'll" love you better then me?"
"Oh I don't think your highness I know", teasing the prince she kisses his nose then looks down placing her hoof on the baby smiling "Don't worry chaos I'll make sure that daddy loses that way you and I get to be best friends"
Chuckling the couple nuzzle their heads close together as they looked down fighting to be approved by the baby until the stallion clenched his teeth smirking as he felt the baby kicking him hard "Ow I think I have a hunch on who's playing favorites"
Laughing he looks down smiling "Hey now take it easy I thought we had something here, why the fuss?"
Blushing to see him talking to little chaos she rubs her nose against his chuckling "You're cute when you care and even cuter when you talk to yourself my handsome hybrid"
Turning red rolling his eyes he slowly lowers his head showing up his tall statue against her short body with an evil smirk "Starlight we talked about this"
Glaring as he lifts her chin up trying to be serious "It's not funny"
Biting her lip she smiled with her eyes to kiss his nose "I can't help it and besides it's cute when you do it"
Gently she hugs him tightly "You know that I don't laugh on purpose right? It's only because I find it absolutely without a doubt the most attractive way to show that you care about little baby Chaos"
Rolling his eyes by her approach he smiles before kissing her cheek "Well I'm glad you think that my conversations with the baby is attractive because they'll be plenty of that down the road when we have more chaotic children"
Romantically he dips Starlight kissing her neck growling softly with little tiny kisses that lead to more deep detailed nipples flirting.
Holding in her laugh the poor unicorn buries part of her face against his cheek "T-Toren somepony we'll see us, quit it or"
Before she could finish the sentence his lips went to hers roughly while using his tail to rub against her flank teasing her to finally giggle knowing that was greatest weakness. Not wanting to stop he teleports them to his room in the castle where it was quiet, and only themselves alone to create a future heir in the royal family. Worried about the baby the mare tried to fight off his embrace but fails once the hybrid grips her flank with his claw-hoof, giving it a tight squeeze pulling her close to his side soon to be pushed down to the ground defeated. Lost in the moment a soft moan escaped her breath as he lifts her hips to his thighs to seperate them so he could take advantage of the mare by slowly lowering his head to taste her warm body from the inside. Firmly with no hesitation he used his mouth to bite against her flesh gently as he stuck his tongue within the mares soft spot, causing Starlight to make a small noise in seconds when he gripped tighter showing his beloved who was the one to end up making another chaotic transformation in their lives together in this new chapter.
Feeling him from the inside made her giggle knowing that this will be something that will be remembered as they lived their lives together in this experience as her eyes looked back to her mate who was enjoying himself so much that he lays down while using his claws to stretch out her thighs so wide that she tilts her head back grunting while letting out a small laugh shortly after. Caught in the action her thoughts were unclear that were dragged in complete shock when a shot of pain came from her marehood by his large muzzle that pushed deep inside her in every thrust he made trying to devour his soul mate with tiny nipples that lead to long lasting kisses with his tongue.
Enjoying her body move by her long breaths the stallion looked up for a second to see her before grabbing her flank teasing her to giggle as he continued to push deeper than ever chuckling as she moaned loudly that Discord turns around. Intrigued by the yell he backs up and goes against the door to investigate whether or not somepony was in danger or not.
"Shhh otherwise somepony could here our happiness, and you'll wake up the baby if you scream"
"You're lucky that you're cute otherwise I'd slap you by now"
"Oh really? Aww thank you"
Without warning he pushed forward hard causing the mare to let out a small yelp as the stallion chuckled softly in victory as they kissed again only this time not wanting to stop their love making they were ready to push themselves deeper into it. Within their heavy breathing the stallion growls softly as he kissed Starlight as her way to relax as he released fully.
"Is something wrong? Toren?"
Lost in thoughts he was unable to concentrate "Huh?"
"Toren? What's wrong? You're shaking.."
Gently so she wouldn't worry he smiled before kissing her forehead "I'm fine..just nervous that's all. I just hope that chaos and you will be okay once this is over.."
Before she could speak his wing went around her neck and gave her a light thoughtful kiss on the lips as Luna opened the doors so they all could enter "Let us begin"
Nodding the couple followed her inside that was soon locked in with her magic so no creature could disturb them as they perform the spell to protect the child from harm and it's soon to be parents. Worried about the while idea Toren began to grow silent as they watched the Princess reviewing the difficult spell.
Concerned for her mate she went infront of him to look at his face "Hey, don't be scared everything will be alright..nothing bad is going to happen to us, or the baby"
Smiling she lifts his chin they looked at eachother "We're going to get through this together"
Feeling at ease the stallion gives a soft smile trying to be strong "I know we will be...I just hope it will be enough to face what we're up against."
Beginning to doubt he bends his head down to her ear "Are you sure you want to do this? You can always change your mind, it doesn't have to be this way Star"
"I have to do this I can't loose you"
"I can't bear to see you die.."
Before she spoke she kissed his cheek "And I won't because you'll be with me by my side this time"
Without warning they kissed eachother then held one another for a moment as tears feel down the stallions face "I'm gonna miss this opportunity but I know it's best for you.."
Trying to be brave he looked at his belly knowing this was the right thing to do but held sorrow letting his baby go until he felt Starlight's hoof on his cheek allowing him to finally look into the mares eyes nodding as she went against his chest giving him full loving support in their new journey together.
Toren looked at the Princess serious while still holding tears "Aunt Luna we're ready"
Saddened to see her nephew suffering she looked at the mare with a stern look to intimitate "Before we begin I must warn you Miss Glimmer that this something no mate have done..you may not even live..are you prepared to suffer the consequence of this?'
Determined to help the unicorn walks forward showing no fear "Yes, I love him", her comment softened his heart to have hope.
Sighing in defeat the princess looks at her gently "So be it, both of you stand to face another and we shall stand between you", positioning themselves the three ponies stood still "Nomatter what happens do not move otherwise the child could face a different path and perish! Or one of you could be severely damaged for life! Do you understand?"
"Yes I do", he says as he looked at Starlight afraid of losing them.
"We know what to do", her words were calm yet had slight anxiety but tried to remain brave for the baby, and herself to help Toren.
Giving them a final moment to cherish the old to prepare for the new the mare slowly unleashed the spell that rose from the ceiling to create a powerful circle of magic that stuck two lines of light into the couple who faught against the overwhelming current. Terrified the couple looked at eachother as the magic flowed through their bodies to create another steal of light that was connected by hearts to transvere the baby from father to soon be placed in its mother. Determined to end this quickly the Princess used more magic to unleash the final step to complete the transaction, once it was cast a small becan went between the couple that grew around them and slowly shrunk them close together that their chests touched instantly.
Feeling his heart break tears fell down his face as he looked to her who was crying along with him feeling his feelings by the connection between them that her hoof went to his cheek before their heads lowered unto one another showing their deep love as they cherished this moment to save their baby with all hope that one day they'll be together as a family.
As the light faded Luna watched as the couple collapsed on the ground exhausted by the spell "Are you both alright?!"
Breathing heavily trying to relax Toren looks up to her "I'm not sure..I can't tell..", he says as he looks at who was unconscious "Star!", trying to walk he used his wings to push his body to her side and gently shook her "Star?"
Slowly she moved her head tiredly looking around and sees the stallion who was worried sick then felt a sharp pain in her whole body and grunts until she realized that came from her abdomin and looks at it instantly "It worked!"
Feeling relieved the Princess sighs nodding "Indeed and it already draws your strength it seems"
Showing no doubts the unicorn smiles and speaks in confidence "I can do this I have to", carefully she rose up unto her hooves leaving Toren alone to observe "See"
Before he got up he watched her carefully incase her body wasn't strong enough "Star, you need to taken it easy. Don't force yourself"
Filled with new emotions and power her horn glows white "I have Alicorn magic!? This is amazing! Toren look!"
"Starlight please be careful!"
"Don't worry I got this! I've handled magic for years this is nothing!"
Getting concerned with this change Luna tries to instruct "Miss Glimmer you must not engage your magic so quickly it could!"
Before she could stop it the unicorn's magic explodes between the mares to soon be pushed away from eachother so hard that Starlight crashed into Toren’s wing with her back as Luna went against the wall. Quickly the stallion looked forward not realizing that his claw-hoof was on her stomach while he observed his Aunt who slowly rose up from the ground to shake off the dust by the now cracked surface by the massive amount of power.
Glaring unammused the blue mare sighs "Backfire..", she says while looking at the couple who were blushing in great shock.
Scarlet red embarrassed she nervously smiles "S-sorry, sorry"
Ammused by her cute apology toward his Aunt he nuzzles her with his nose still having his claw-hoof on her small belly "It's okay Star you need time to adjust to it", gently he kisses her cheek while teasing her to giggle.
Trying to remain wise while enjoying the couple she sighs "I'm afraid this is only beginning of this great change my nephew for it will only grow stronger, to a point that it'll be to much for her"
Smiling softly he looked down to her small belly touching it gently as he looked at Starlight "I'll help her I'm sure with my magic I'll be to slow it magic down until she delivers"
"Even with your magic Toren you cannot spot it.", pauses and figures out his plan "However, you may be able to give her more time until it arrives"
Hopeful the stallion looks at Starlight who in return gave him the same expression "That's all I can ask for"
"Now you both may go I must find my sister so I she can lower the sun within short hours where I shall raise the moon", gently she lifts up Starlight chin "Good luck Miss Glimmer I wish you the at most best for your sacrifice and that all joy goes to you"
Honored by her words she nods "Thank you Princess Luna"
Without another word Toren looks at Luna who gave him a stern look that turned into a soft smile trying to move pass from what he had done in respect of his choice towards Starlight. Unsure of the way things will be for the couple walked away to attend the party while the dark blue mare looked out the window to watched the new guard getting trained by her head captain that held no sigh of fear but intimidation with a cruel grin to gain pleasure by humiliating the new recruiters. Carefully the Princess observed the blue mare that has been her greatest regret by failing to reach out to her on how she truly felt toward the pegasus. Proud of her ability to work with such strong confidence in the distance across the castle still in complete focus as the mare quickly glanced up to see the blushing princess before turning back to yell at the new recruiting members to test their breaking points to prove themselves to serve the royal sisters.
Meanwhile at Twilight's castle everypony was enjoying themselves with treats, games while listening the music as Rainbowdash opened some present for her son "Wow a tiny wonderbolt suit thanks Flutters"
Giggling she nods "You're welcome and who knows maybe he'll be a wonderbolt to"
In confidence the pegasus laughs "Oh he will be one alright I'll make sure of it!"
Not wanting to disturb the party the couple were outside of the castle still trying to wake up after the train ride "Well here we are Star hope they weren't waiting for us to long"
Nervous the mare looks down "Yeah me to.."
Carefully the stallion wrapped his wing around the mare as he lifted her chin "Hey it's going to be okay"
Worried about their secret she began to back away from his wing "But what if we ruin the party by telling them...I hate to be put on the spotlight if it's just to make things difficult"
"Hey come on now remember what you told me?"
"Never let your emotions get the best of you or you'll do something dumb"
"No although you so make a good point that is something I need to work on. Try again it was when I asked you about what you thought about the baby, remember what you said after when I made you upset?"
Remebering she sighs softly "Nomatter what happens they are going to love the baby and be thrilled that we are together"
"Exactly, and we don't have to tell them right away so for now let's just enjoy the party okay?"
Feeling better she fianlly smiles rolling her eyes defeated "Okay"
Without warning he gave her a gentle kiss as he placed his claw-hoof on her small belly on purpose this time to find her lower soft spot and quickly shoves two of his claws inside her teasing as they kissed. Blushing by his clever move she softly breaths letting out a soft moan chuckling to herself as he began to push them deep with a quick tug to feel the warm, moisten flesh that sucked in his claws by her deep breath enjoying the intimate moment he was giving her. Wanting more she slowly began to sit down while he two claws remained inside to soon be joined by his whole claw-hoof that was sucked inside with a quick shove that she grunts before moaning by the sensation of his own appendage that was slowly going up inside her in every thrust he made trying to get her to erupt.
Breathing heavily trying to relax her lips shook as she leaned against her chest to hide "T-Toren somepony might see us", her head jerked back in satification by a soft moan that escaped her throat.
Wanting to finish what he started his large wings wrapped around so she could hide his insecured mare as he continued to push his arm faster than ever while giving her a small wink "Better?"
Panting quietly she nods dark red in pure bliss as she could feel her body getting ready to erupt "Mhmmm just go faster", she whispered in her breaths letting the stallion continue without question.
Without hesitation he forced his arm to move even faster until he could feel her body tighten up by the rhythm that became a tool for the mare to gain satification as she pants harder before biting her lips to push out her thighs to widen farther so he could take advantage of the mare's body. Within just a few more seconds by his hard quick game his mate released out her thick, warm juice moaning in delight so much that it soaked his arm as it poured out of her small body like a huge cup of water that spilled on the ground by gravity.
Panting exhausted her eyes closed as she looked down smiling "I feel better and relaxed surprisingly"
Ammused by her cute response he leans forward with a kiss as he pushed his arm up chuckling "You're welcome but next time it won't be my limb, and in my room"
Trying to breathe she giggles "Well I look forward to it..", looks down placing her hoof on her stomach teasing "I hope he didn't scared you"
Smiling softly in laughter he kissed her belly and whispers into Starlight's ear "That or maybe the baby enjoyed our little game and thought it was a party"
Covered her face blushing she laughs "Oh Toren no.."
Carefully without hurting her he slips his arm out and dips it inside the pond to wash off his victory as the mare sat beside him to touch a small fish that soon swam away by the stallions claw-hoof that attacked it to annoy the mare "Whoops sorry Mr. Fish but she's mine"
Rolling her eyes she sighs "Oh brother", she says while standing she used her tail to stroke under his chin "Come on Romeo let's go inside before somepony like Pinkie see us to soon reveal our secret relationship"
Defeated the stallion looked up for a moment before slowly rising from the ground "Okay Miss Glimmer", extends his claw-hoof out to her "Shall we enter casual together or one behind the other?"
Rubbing her chin she smiles "From behind and I'll take the lead", she says as she stepped on his claw-hoof before teleporting to the door in victory of her devious move.
Irritated the stallion looked up before using magic to teleport himself to face her "That's cheating, and not nice now my claw hurts"
Teasing she talks to him like a baby as she kissed his injury "Oh is the mighty prince sad that he lost and got a booboo"
Tilting his head with a lifted eyebrow the stallion gave her a cold loving expression "Starlight"
Holding back her laughter she kisses his cheek "Love you"
In defeat he smiles shaking his head letting out a small laugh shortly after "Love you to, now let's go they have been waiting long enough"
Without another word he nuzzled his ahead against her cheek as they walked together inside the castle to hear a baby crying in the distance across the hallway that grew more loud as they reached to open the door to soon reveal a small pegasus screaming. Curious to know what was going on the couple walked over to find Rainbowdash hovering the air trying to calm down her son as she tried to hold her temper from exploding.
Carefully her husband watched by her friends "Maybe he's hungry crash try giving him his bottle"
Wanting to help the yellow pegasus grabbed it from the stallion who couldn't fly due to a spranged wing and gives it to her friend "Here Rainbowdash"
Getting tired of the crying she sighs "Thanks flutters", in gratitude she gently grabbed the bottle and looks at her son "Alright Prism here comes the flying choo-choo train", making train noises the mare puts in on his mouth that was soon thrown out of her grasp.
Feeling prompted the pregnant mare walks toward her friends leaving Toren to watch curious "Hey Rainbow can I try?"
Exhausted by lack of sleep she flies down and lands on the ground before giving the unicorn the baby "You can try but he's been like this for an hour and warning he bites when he's upset"
Giggling softly she smiles as she takes the baby "Well at least we all know he has your temper Dash so now we know what to expect when he gets older"
"Haha very funny you try raising a foal then we'll see who's better!"
Gently without making his wife more flustered he puts his hoof on her shoulder "Come on honey it's not a competition, just let her try"
Not wanting to argue the mare sighs looking at him with a soft smile "Alright Soarin fine", teasing Starlight she whispers into his ear "Besides she'll never get him to stop crying because you and both know he literally cries himself to sleep"
"Crash be nice at least we have good friends who like to help us"
Slowly the parents watched the unicorn hold the squirming foal who was crying louder then ever "Hey prism it's your Auntie Starlight come on now shhh", her heart softened as she began to hum a soft lullaby that she used long ago to her little sister when she cried until it slowly turned to the words finding the perfect opportunity to calm the baby.
Awwwlalala Awwlala, Awwwlalalala La La
Awwwlalala Awwlala, Awwwlalalala La La
You are sent here at this time
To grow, learn next to me
you hold my heart deep inside
You're my purpose in this world,
you're the one who has blessed my life.
As you grown along beside me
I'll teach all I know and soon you will learn by my example as you lay in my arms, and dream.
Smiling down at the baby she kissed his head as he feel asleep leaving everypony including his own parents to stare in dislief as the unicorn looks up with confidence "Here you go Rainbow he's all yours"
Shocked by her trick she whispers annoyed "How did you do that?! You used your magic didn't you?!"
Shaking her head she giggles "No I just sang to him that's all honest", remembering her past she explains "When I was younger I had a sister who was just like Prism so one day I sang to her and made up a lullaby by how I felt", looking down her hoof goes to her stomach then looked at the couple "Like my heart wanted to be heard with my voice, then I realized that in moment when I sang to her while holding her she felt loved until she..she.."
Before she could finish the sentence her lips shook as tears feel down her eyes instanaly that Toren went to her knowing what happened without question that he didn't care about being caught as he wrapped his wing around the mare to recieve support "Shhh", gently he kissed her head.
Unsure what to do the rest of the ponies looked at one another sad as Cadence realized what the unicorn meant for her little sister passed away in her sleep in Starlights arms while singing the lullaby "In behalf of Starlight's emotion I would like to inform everypony that her sister passed away as she sung to her lullaby in her arms", gently she goes to sit by her side "So Rainbowdash treasure every moment you have with your son, even though at times it may seem hard, it's worth it to know that he's with you. Remember that as you raise him to become a strong colt"
In tears the pegasus nods quietly as her husband wrapped his other wing around her crying as they both showed gratitide for their little foal's life. Gently the Princess lifts up the crying mares chin "Breathe Starlight in and out"
Following her calm instruction the mare inhales a small breath before exhaling it while wiping her wet eyes to get back to reality "Thank you, I'm fine just tired", quickly she stood up and walked away from the Alicorns "I should properly get some sleep it's been a long day and I'm not feeling very well"
Saddened by Starlights words the pink mares mane deflats slightly "But, what about the party?"
"I'm sorry Pinkie maybe next time", slowly without another word she walked away with her ears pulled back in pain by the darkness that was starting wake up by the spell beginning to ware off due to the strong emotions about her sister.
Soon after she left Pinkie sniffs "Awww it's sad that Starlight isn't feeling well she's missing out on all the fun"
Trying to lighten the mood the farm pony puts her hoof on her shoulder "Don't worry Pinkie they'll be plenty of parties along the road.. and weddings"
Toren spits out a cup of tea choking on his own saliva "W-weddings!? For who?!"
Without warning Rainbow Dash flies to him before nudging his shoulder "Why you of course! We all know ya got the hots for Starlight! Admit me and we'll let it pass without embarrassing you!"
Blushing he backs up "N-No I don't know w-what you're t-talking about"
Trying to escape to the group he bumps into Shining Armor who wraps his arm around him smirking "Come on dude we all know you do don't hide it", quickly he leans against his ear "So have you mounted her yet? If so how many rounds before passing out?"
Surprised by his question he wacked his head with his wing "Shining Armor I'm disappointed", smirking he looks to the side before covering their faces with his other wing "10 times in five different potions and about 5 orgasms why?"
Ashamed he sighs embarrassed whispering in disbelief "10!? And 5 from her!? How?! I couldn't even get those numbers from Candence on our night we were married...how did she last that long without passing out?!"
Gently he goes against his cheek and whispers "Try teasing her and make her fight for you to gain more. That's how I do it and it always works when it comes to certain events when it counts"
Blushing he looked at him shocked "Wait you mean you got her preg-"
Not wanting the stallion to say another word he covered his mouth whispering "Shhh quiet! And please for Starlights sake keep it to yourself unless you want to help responsible for a miscarriage"
Nodding the stallion agrees as they give one final glance before facing the rest of the group who were curious until Cadence goes to them closely with a small smile knowing the result of the future for Starlight she stands by her husband "Shining why don't you take Toren and see if you can get more ice for the punch while the rest of us get the food prepared"
Confused by her approach the stallion nods "Um okay Cadence sure thing, come on Toren let's go get some ice"
As they were about to leave Twilight stops the Alicorn smiling "I'm glad you and Starlight are together, I've never seen so happy in a long time", she giggles while lightly blushing "Since she tried to destroy our lives"
Intrigued to know what she meant "Wait what do you mean destroyed your lives??? What did she do?"
Not wanting to upset him they laughed to themselves as Twilight goes to him smiling "Well for one she was able to take over an entire village by physically removing cutiemark to enslave ponies to make equality"
Rarity quickly repsonse after gently "Not to mention that she tried to change our destinies by travel through time to stop the sonic rain-boom that brought us together in the first place"
Pinkie pushes rarity down dramatically "And she made us eat those terrible muffins! I'll haven't been able to eat one in yet another because of it!", sniffs to herself "The was thee worse fay in my entire life!"
Blushing towards the earth pony Fluttershy grabs a cupcake while flying to the mare softly "Ah here Pinkie try this cupcake I made"
Excited by her gesture she gasps "Cupcake miine!!", grabbing it through research inhales through dessert and smiles "So good! Wait what were we talking about?
Overwhelmed the prince backs up trying to understand without causing tension as his friends alight at Pinkie "Wait, she did all of those things? She was a villain?!"
Looking down the blue Pegasus hovers next to his side "Well yeah she may have done those things but now she's changed and has become our friend!", she says while nudging him "And you special somepony to dance with"
As the stallion remained quiet he felt a hoof on his shoulder and turned his head to see Twilight smiling "And has become my faithfull student who has grown into a whole new mare, better then before. Thanks to you."
Not being able too speak he turned red unable to breathe by the news about the mare he loved who was now carrying his baby with no knowledge of her past actions that were made of cruelty in revenge and power, like Sombra. Unsure what to say the poor prince backs up and stares towards the staircase that lead to Starlights room where she held captive by the darkness of the spell, while trying to adjust to the great change by the pregnancy. Caught with mixed emotions he froze completely as if he was turned to stone forever, barely breathing Toren looked back to see his friends were starting to get concerned about his behavior.
Worried about his old friend Twilight's brother walked to him "Hey Toren buddy you okay?"
Feeling sick to his stomach his body began to shake "Huh? Oh yeah I-I'm fine I...I just need some fresh air and we still need to get that ice.", using his wing he nudged the stallion in the side "Well be right back"
Saddened to see them leave Pinkie waves histarically "Okay but hurry back we're having cake soon!"
Making their way across town the stallion looked around to find a place that sold ice but were lost, concerned about how his friend was behaving he used magic to pull his ear as they trotted "Hey earth to Toren do you copy? Over?"
Irritated his eyes narrowed while picking up the pace "I'm fine Shining let's just hurry up and get out of here"
"Toren, stop!", he says as he goes infront of the Alicorn looking up into his eyes as he gently used magic to pull his necklace "Come on I know something is bugging you, so can you tell me or do I have force it out of you?"
Annoyed with the stallion he used magic to slide him out of the way "It's nothing of your concern", he says as he walks away from him angry.
Wanting to help out the Alicorn he used magic to pull his tail "Toren"
Growing furious the stallion sighs before turning his head to the side of his shoulder to see the unicorn lifting an eyebrow while still using his pink aura to hold his dragon tail "You're not going to give up you are you? And even if something is wrong it has nothing to do with you! So let go of my tail before I physically make you with my claws!"
Rolling his eyes he surrenders "Fine don't tell me. But if it's about Starlight and the you-know-what it's okay to be nervous I was the same way when I found out that Cadance was going to have Flurry"
In defeat the Alicorn looked at him softly chuckling "I appreciate your advice but that's not the problem..well..at least most likely not the issue..it's..something else", carefully he tried to phrase it without using a rude description "It only involves it's mother and her past that I can't fully accept"
Surprised to find the out to her truth the stallion slowly walked to him "Wait is that what it's about? Her past but why? I mean I know she did bad things but we all make mistakes and now look at her. She's my sister's student, and has grown into a completely changed mare that we've grown to love, including your family...and you"
Without warning he gave him a stern look to intimitate "Exactly! I fell in with mare I thought was perfect with no flaws whatsoever..then I find out all these things about her and it makes question about everything and she's.."
Carefully without wanting to piss off his friend the she stallion walks up to him and wraps his arm around him smirking "Pregnant?"
Ammused by his clever way of getting to the point he shakes his head smiling "Shining Armor I swear you are more childish then a foal!"
Shocked by his response he uses magic to teleport on his friend back "Well in that case", softly he coughs and begins to pretend to be a foal "Daddy I want a pretty dress and candy!! I want mommy!
Embarrassed by other ponies staring he growls softly while whispering annoyed "Shining knock it off ponies are watching!"
"No me want cookies!!"
"Oh for the love of", he cuts himself off by teleporting them inside sugarcube corner and looks through the window sighing in relief.
Before he spoke the stallion teleported from his back to the ground ammused "Well that went well and look we are here!", proud of himself he turned around in victory "Now let's out get that ice"
Irritated by the whole thing he blushed while grabbing his leg from behind with his dragon tail tripping the stallion "Oops must have been the wind", he says while walking passed him satisfied.
Soon after his fall the stallion gets up to shake off the dirt "You know I hope one day that kid of yours doesn't have your tail otherwise you'll end up teaching it that nasty trick!
Growling he gave an evil look "Oh don't worry if it does I'll be sure to teach it my trick just for you", winking in his direction the other prince rolls his eyes in defeat.
Toren looks at the counter and sees a young mare with two orange braids with a light orange cream coat wiping the table, alongside her was a young pegasus who uses his wing to make another spill "Pound stop that or I'll tell mom!"
Not wanting to end his game the colt spilled some flour on her head "Oops must have been the wind or maybe it was your head I mistakened for a bowl"
Angry the mare used her magic to trip him and twisted the rag tightly to the water could drip on his head "Oh sorry I thought you were the bucket"
Carefully without laughing the stallions watched the two twins fight in the distance across the store until the unicorn leans his head "I think we should stop then before they destroy the place", with magic he pushed Toren forward with no regrets "After you your majesty"
Caught off guard he looked at him "Me? What can I do?"
"What you do best by pulling tricks to outsmart others with a game"
Realizing his methods of how he handles things the stallion got an idea and used magic to place them into a tub of water that had brushes doing all the work as the young teens screams in terror of sight. Ammused by his quick trick he continued chuckling that was joined by Shining Armor who was at the brink of tears in laughter, after the bath he blow dries them to soon place them behind the counter in victory as he blew up at his horn smiling before looking forward to the young workers.
Gently the Alicorn goes to them and looks down at the colt "Feel better? Or do you want another one with lava this time young colt?"
Showing fear the pegasus shook his head quickly "N-No mister highness sir! We're g-good right P-pumkin?!", terrified he glanced over at the mare who was lovestruck "Pumpkin!"
Lost in thoughts the young mare lays her head against the table in love as her eyes locked on the Alicorn smiling "Are you single?"
Turning red flattered the prince looks at her surprised as the Shining Armor covered his mouth snickering to himself as Toren looked at the mare "Um..no I'm not actually sweetheart, however for your brave question I give you the kiss of honor"
Confused by the whole thing her brother tilts his head "The what?"
Gently he chuckled softly as he winked at the mare who was not even aware of what was happening as he kissed her on the cheek then backed up to look away smiling as the mare jumped around the room screaming so loud that some glass shattered. Ammused by her excitement the stallion used magic to grab the ice himself and placed it on the table while using his tail to tap the counter bell.
Blushing by her reaction finally back into reality she teleports back behind the counter knocking over her brother to put the prince in the register "That will be 5 bits and another kiss on the lips!", she says while puckering her lips excited.
Not wanting to upset the poor mare he does as he's told and pays the five bits as he gently leaned forward to give her a light kiss while her brother gags not believing what he was seeing and turns around to cover his ears "And in three..two..one.. cue the mare to faint"
Right as he spoke the mare faints behind the counter in victory by getting her first loss by the handsome prince causing the adults to laugh as the colt folds his arms unsatified before being rubbed on the head by the Alicorn "Don't worry son she'll be back in a few minutes and remember to be nice to your sister. Because you'll never know when she'll leave and that no matter what you do she'll always have your back regardless"
Understanding his orders the colt sighs in defeat before gently putting her on his back as he looked at the prince "Thank you for doing that I mean you didn't have to you know"
Before he walked away the Alicorn stopped him by going infront of the colt smiling "That might be true Pound but I know well enough that you will thank me later when she tells all the mares about what happened you'll have them all over you like me", leans against his ear "So be careful or you'll loose a limb, good luck"
Gently he rubs the Colts head with his claw-hoof before walking away with Shining Armor smirking as they left the store with the bag of ice along with magic.
Satisfied with their own scheme the stallions laughed in unision while making their way across town to Twilight's castle, with magic the Alicorn opens the door so his friend could enter with the ice.
Walking down the halls the Alicorn looked around the group for a path to walk across to reach the dessert table to pour down the ice inside the bowls, he looked up the stairway remembering about Starlight who was alone by herself. Carefully trying to escape his friends in honor to be with Starlight the stallion turned into a fly and flew up to the doors listening for any sign of movement until the prince heard a small range of sorrow coming from a door with a small star on it, quickly the male turned back into his old form to gently open the wooden placed rectangle.
Before opening his mouth the stallion looked forward but only to see Starlight laying on her left side in tears that soaked the pillow, carefully he climbed on the bed to snuggle against her side while wrapping his claw-hoof around her stomach to sooth the pain "You okay where does it hurt?"
In tears the mare puts her hoof on his claw-hoof to answer gasping for breath by her soft whimpering by her river of tears until she was finally able to look at him "I-I'm s-sorry"
Trying to help he began to gently rub her stomach with a gentle smile as he whispered "Sorry for what? It's okay Star you need time to adjust to it, it's only been a few hours since the spell..your body is changing and is trying to fully recover from it", gently he pulls her to lay on her back as he looked at her deeply "Luna did warn you that this will be a challenge for us both to endure until it's born"
Beginning to relax she looks at him understanding while placing her hoof on his cheek with a small smile "I know but I never thought it was going to be this painful...I now understand why you kept going silent all the time"
Softly the two laughed in unision as they nuzzled their noses together while having a deep connection in silence as their thoughts tried to focus on the big picture as an outlook to the future as parents. Worried about the unknown each held in a soft expression of fear within their eyes and yet somehow a glimpse of hope remained hidden in the distance as they stared at one another until finally it was broken off by a small kiss in agreement that no matter what the future brings that their love will not fail, even darkness of doubt nor the very face of death will untie the bond they now share as their child grows with time, patience, and faith.
Toren looks at her with sincerity "Everything is going to be fine, I'll do whatever it takes to help make this experience easier for you.", he says as he tears up "You are my life now and I'll do everything in my power to protect you, love you with all my heart until the end"
Touched by his words she tears up as he hugged him tightly showing "And I'll do the best I can to be with you and the baby"
Gently he held her close kissing her head softly in tears "Our baby Star, it's ours and always has been", he says as he looks at her with compassion as he placed his claw-hoof on her small belly almost crying "It was our fate that brought us together and was made for good, and nothing else...I see that now because of you...you helped me see that from the moment you showed me it's more than just a curse..but a blessing"
Caught in the moment tears streamed down her face in gratitude smiling in the sound of her sobs "It's about time you realized that you old softy"
Sniffing the stallion looked at her unamused "Star"
"Hey I'm sorry I'm just trying to lighten the mood so we can stop crying, we're going to be okay once this is over", she says while wiping his eyes "And we'll see our baby someday with your eyes, maybe have tiny claw-hooves who knows. Either way it will be enough to be satisfied with the pain knowing that it will be the reward"
Nodding in agreement with her thought out perspective he kisses her head and strokes her mane behind her ear "And it will have your beautiful smile, complexion and your good heart that is filled with love so strongly that it can see the good in all forms, faults, and circumstances.", he says as he looks down then back to her "And above all your strength to withstand hope to all it comes to know in this world someday"
"And that will be just perfect"
"I couldn't agree more"
Without another word the couple gave one final kiss before snuggling against eachother to be closer then ever as they deeply placed their foreheads together looking down at the baby that has brought them together to begin with in a way to the world may sound impossible, crazy, and enough to cause great confusion. However to them it was nothing but a peaceful reminder of the bond the two shared before that has grown stronger knowing what to expect by this great change to be one day be turned into a new beginning together as a family.
Author's Note
(Sniffs) Feels....the feelios are real....my fault...my bad.
I really love Toren and Starlight together and the chemistry they have. I'm jealous why can't a man love me like that gees!
As for Discord and Toren they imprinted by accident by fighting in chapter 4. It's not incest! It's more like they are now bonded as father and son with a very strong connection that can be useful or difficult.
So they can't control it at times but they only think of themselves as father and son and nothing more and regret it, but it's something they can't control. So now they are only going to be there as protectors, providers so they are not harmed in any possible way whether it's physical, or emotional.
