Nobody was daring enough to wear a smile. Word got out fast about what had happened, mostly because of TWO explosions of rainbowy light in the sky and a rainbow streak suddenly coming across the city. La Sombra Del Sol told everyone what had happened, and it surprised everyone. Out of all the family members that risked their life for Medianoche, it had been Skiadrum. The Living Statue had gone and risked everything for his baby brothers health and safety. Celestia walked down the halls quietly, her guard doing the same. She wanted to see her sister, guilt pressing hard on her heart.

Because of her stupid selfish actions, the King, her sister and a Prince were in the infirmary, the third in critical condition. The Umbrum Guards didn't even bother glaring at her, for they were too busy praying for the safe recovery of both the royal children of The Mountain King. Who, everyone noticed, had disappeared. They weren't going to bug him though. He needed to be alone, the stress of everything was going to give him a heart attack.

"This is my fault," Celestia said, looking up to her personal guard "If not for me, none of this would have happened... Luna would be ok, Medianoche would be ok and Skiadrum wouldn't be on magical life support. I'm a terrible pony..." she didn't care what others said, it was how she felt. None of the royal family were willing to leave the castle yet, so the ponies had nobody to care for them. Discord had sent a letter to King Gekidō of the situation, and had yet to get a reply. The reply would likely be more guards from Drapan.

"You shouldn't blame yourself Tia, no-one could have known this would've happened." she was still frowning, her colour fading. It was a disease the Draconeqi called Discordant, hilariously something he'd been named after. It most affect ponies where they become opposites of their true selves. He sighed, picking up the filly by the scruff of her neck and walked down the halls with her not even complaining. She felt she'd done too much of that lately "Now, we're going to take your mind off this with some practice!" he teleported them into the courtyard, his wings outstretched as he put her on the ground.

"What?" she said, watching him as he mane to sticks of wood appear. Her telekinesis was weak, but she could still lift it off the ground. He held the other stick, waiting for her to try and tap him with it. They'd take it in turns. They'd start with her being on the offence while he be on the defence, then they'd swap roles, and swap again. Mostly practising the same techniques, but that was what practice was!

"Take all of your anger out on the stick, don't hold beck kiddo, alright?" he'd accidentally said beck instead of back, oh well, it wasn't as embarrassing as when he tried writing his name in Equestrian. Accidentally put a name in his name so it read DISQRD. And yeah, he was dumb enough to write it in capitals cuz he found the lower case being harder to write with. Celestia sucked in a deep breath, and started attacking with the stick, Discord easily diverting the force behind the stick against the wielder without using his magic. Better than when he was being trained. They used actual halberds back then!

(Contains sex scene)

Crepúsculo Radiante knew of this place, and knew of its purpose. It was a cave, a very nice one that if you went far in enough you were met with a large cavern that looked like someone had cut it out of a painting and brought it to life. This unusual place was a lush, warm, tropical oasis that had the purest water she'd seen in all her life. With the mini lake, there was an island in the middle that had a large cherry blossom tree growing in the middle, slightly curving to the left to give a very beautiful look. The numerous fireflies and glow worms lit the place up, making the top seem like the night and the reflections on the water giving it the sensation it was in space. On the island was soft grass, and a pond with four koi fish. Two silver and two golden, gifts from Drapan. Also on the island was her overly stressed husband. Hard to miss thanks to his rainbow horn, tail and feathers.

She had a plan to help deal with this stress of his. She'd never tell anyone of course, but Crepúsculo Radiante knew the exact buttons to press to sort out her husband. Noche had brought her here on their last date, the one before he proposed to her. They also consummated their marriage here. Nobody but them and the elders knew this place existed, not even their cubs. There was a special path way she walked across, an invisible bridge just beneath the waters surface making it seem like she was walking across the oasis.

He looked up at his wife, seeing the stress in her eyes as well. Neither of them had been doing fairly well after it was alerted to them that Medianoche was sick, but after the near death of Skiadrum, they weren't fairing much better. Crepúsculo knelt down and lay beside her husband, breathing in a deep breath as she watched his tired eyes. He hadn't been sleeping very well. The Ahuizotl and Abyssitire disappeared shortly before Skiadrum left, and since the Timber Wolf parts the nurse pulled out of their eldest was identified to be from Krussia, they were now wanted fugitives for attacking the crown. Though if not for Skiadrum's foolishness, they wouldn't have gotten the flower, and Medianoche wouldn't be recovering like he was.

"My dear, have you eaten anything lately?" she was very different when it was just the two of them. Sometimes treating them as if they were the only ones in the world. Noche sighed, his ears flat against his head. A semi-silent no. She rolled her eyes, going to the large lake and searching for a fish somewhere inside of the large lake. Her horn glowed as she pulled out a cat fish, playing it before her lover "You need to eat, you're going to help nobody like this." it had hit Crepúsculo hard when she saw Skiadrum's face.

After millennia of no expressions to one of pain, it made her stomach churn. So much so, she was starting to think it was her fault he was so lifeless. Everything was going wrong, everything changed when Cosmo was murdered. His excuse of a wife likely smiling as this all played out. She shook her head, forcing herself to forget everyone who wasn't her family for the moment. Her husband needed her, and he needed a way to relax. She knew just how to do so.

Once Noche finished eating the fish, he just lay against her, his head against the soft grass and watching the glow worms above. Just like the stars. Crepúsculo stroked Noche's ever flowing mane, a slight faint purr being heard only because of the echo of the cavern. He liked his mane stroked in private, it was just calming in a sense. She was going to go a step further though. She shuffled, him moving as well, slowly steering him against the tree. Knowing it was going to be difficult to let him accept this, since he was rather stubborn about this like this, she used her magic.

"Ah!" the stallion was very surprised as he was suddenly changed from lying against the tree, to literally being tied to it. Crepúsculo's horn was glowing, as were the vines she was commanding to wrap around his legs and pull, keeping him from moving much. More came over, wrapping around his chest and tree trunk, so there wasn't much movement. Oh he had the power to break them, if he hadn't spent an entire week not sleeping. Curse Medianoche and the changing of their body clocks! Crepúsculo placed a kiss just under his horn, slowly trailing downwards.

"You need to relax, but you aren't going to do that are you?" she smiled, licking the bridge of his snout. It was a gesture of trust in their species, something to be taken seriously. It released chemicals actually. If you tried breaking that trust, you'd get a bad taste on your tongue for centuries, but if you did break it, you'd have a foul taste that would never go away, even if you removed your whole lower jaw. that's how he knew she was being serious "So let me make you relax." she wanted to make him squirm, seeing the surprise on his face was slightly arousing "If you say anything... well, you don't wanna find out what i'll do."

This was certainly different. wasn't expecting this for some reason? Noche was not going down lightly though, as he pulled against the restraints that were kind of arousing for some reason. she kissed him deeply, her tongue in a battle against his for dominance. he fought her, determined to defy her at every turn. she enjoyed it as well, only pulling away for them to take in a deep breath, a small trail of saliva still connecting them. he hadn't been in this position before, it was strange and interesting to feel. he'd done this to his Crepúsculo, but the tables were indeed turned.

he felt her kiss his chest, and slowly go down. down and down she went along the middle of his large body until her eyes met his enticement. he glared down at her, a silent 'don't you dare'. it wasn't often she got the chance to do this to him, mostly because it had little power against her afterwards. Crepúsculo Radiante smiled evil, giving it a kiss, seeing a mixture of anger, excitement and lust in his wondrous eyes. she licked the flare, watching his body jolt at the sudden rush of warmth coming from his loins. she started to lick from his balls all the way back to the tip, continuing to do this for a little while. it wasn't enough to make his release his seed, but he'd still feel each little touch. she'd get him worked up, and then when it was all done, he might take a nap, or she'd massage his wings till he did.

she was evil. a very different kind of evil. he was biting his lip so hard it bled, the blood making it worse, harder to remain quiet. she started to rub her hooves against his back balls, making him want to buck his hips, but those blasted vines kept him in place. he was secretly enjoying it as well. this irritatingly long build up was making him want more of it, prolonging his needs and desires to go over that blasted edge. her horn lit up again, and he was met with slight fear. one of the issues with going for a unicorn was that they had spells they could use on your stallionhood. he saw what Medianoche preferred pegasi...

"Good boy," Crepúsculo said as she left his hard member, using her magic to telekinetically stroke him. she watched him buck and squirm, grunting as he struggled against the vines she strengthened with her magic. it was a beautiful sight, something on she would see. he glared at her, his pupils gone to thin slits of aroused anger and need. she watched his breath get heavier, his nostrils flare as he breathed out with the strength that turned her on, and his wings were curling. thanks to the sweat, his feathers glowed even more "You wanna cum don't you?"

he refused to answer. this was a surprise, very bold on her part, but he could control himself. despite the pleasure that was setting fire to his very blood that was coursing through his veins and both his hearts. she was aroused, he could smell it. she walked round and sat in front of him, leaning back and showing him her wet marehood. no. she wasn't going to do this. she couldn't be that evil!

she was. Crepúsculo Radiante reached down with a hoof and started to stroke herself, blushing slightly. it wasn't as good as her husbands touch, but this was making his cock throb, precum droplets starting to show. she licked her lips seductively, knowing it was arousing him even more. her horn flared a little brighter, the sensation of his tip being squeezed making his body jolt, even with the restrictions. not enough that it would hurt, but enough for it to be pleasurable. it was exciting her as well. her magic was keeping him from cumming, he just knew she was extending it.

Noche scowled, grunting a bit more now. he closed his eyes to try and think of something else but that made it stronger. all he could watch was her touching herself, and that was annoying. he watched Crepúsculo Radiante play with herself until she came, then having to watch her start to suckle on his flare like a cub did to its mothers teat. it was driving him nuts. she slowly started taking it all in her mouth, humming a little.

"nnngh, fuck!" she knew he wouldn't be able to hold on forever, and it was cute how his voice cracked. she didn't take his cock out of her magical aura, even when she started to suck him off in long strokes, the aura spreading to massage his balls as well. she purred, smiling as it drove him mad. she wasn't cruel, so decided to let him cum. it didn't take long for her to get him off. she pulled back until his flare remained in her mouth, and she got to see his face glow when he climaxed. she swallowed it of course, she wasn't going to waste his precious seed after all.

"There we go..." she smiled as she pulled away, the vines releasing her husband from their bind. he took in slow deep breaths of after glow. slowly she got him to lay on his stomach, and begun to massage his back "See, that wasn't so bad was it? i should do this with you more often."

"Don't you dare..."

"Well it sounds like it worked, you sound tired." he rolled his eyes, just letting her have this for now. he wasn't going to admit he was a bit more chilled after being dealt with like that, but he had a feeling she knew. she sighed, doing her work on his shoulders until she started to hear light snores "Under all of that power, you're a loving father. i, still have a bit to go..." she pushed her son to do what he'd done, it was her responsibility, and she had to take it. no matter how much she didn't want to. for Skiadrum and Medianoche, she'd try to be a little less hostile.
