Twilight's Travels In The Multiverse

Shafts of light entered Twilight’s and Csia’s bedroom, the morning light landing on Twilight’s face, making her stir in response to the offending light. Groaning, Twilight eventually opened her eyes and stretched and yawned.

As her awareness returned, she found Csia had burrowed deep into her embrace, now facing Twilight’s chest. Twilight smiled down at the adorable sight. Dammit Csia, why’d you have to be so damn cute! Her attention was refocused back to the environment around her as she felt Csia wake up.

“Mraawl?” Csia vocalised as she was barely awake, her voice sounded confused and her emotional aura confirmed it. Must! Not! Coo or Squeal! Twilight thought to herself as she was melting over how adorable Csia was, who was now looking up to see who was holding her. What she found was the warmly smiling Twilight trying her hardest not to coo at the adorable girl in her arms.

Then the other shoe dropped and Csia was fully aware that she was in the embrace of a fully awake Twilight. She leapt out of Twilight’s arms in surprise. Twilight let go so Csia could escape. Unfortunately for Csia she had compensated for an expected grip that was no longer there and pushed too hard, so she slipped on the covers and fell over backwards off the bed with a thud. She landed on her head, with her legs flailing about as she tried to right herself, hissing in pain after having sustained her head injury.

After a few minutes she managed to right herself and peered over the edge of the side of the bed with her ears folded back against the back of her head, ears and shoulders were red with her embarrassment. Csia found a concerned Twilight worriedly looking at her as she half crawled over the bed to Csia.

Twilight frowned as Csia gingerly climbed back up and Twilight scooted back to give Csia space as she got back on the bed. Twilight crawled over to her on her knees and began checking Csia’s physical condition. Csia’s blush and folded ears remained firmly in place the whole time Twilight examined her which was soon joined by a pout. When Twilight didn’t find anything seriously wrong with Csia, she sighed in relief.

“Twi, can we talk?” Csia asked, a nervous tinge to her voice, which concerned Twilight almost as much as the bubbling emotions she was sensing.

Twilight hummed in acknowledgement, “What about?” she asked neutrally.

“Well … first I want to ask, how much do you know about Caitians?” Csia asked in a measured even tone.

Twilight looked up in thought as she absently treated Csia.

“Honestly? I don't know much except that you're a felidae species and what your species name is,” Twilight replied, sitting down beside her as she had finished treating Csia.

“Well, you see, Twilight, Caitian family groups are made up of prides, usually one alpha male and one alpha female plus any other females who join the pride later or simultaneously but without the alpha status. No other males exist except for cubs of the alpha who will eventually split off and make his own pride which becomes a sub pride of the alpha’s father. Prides also include friends regardless of species.

Now each pair within the pride is separated as dominant or submissive. For example: caitian A: is dominant over B: and B: is subservient to A:, B: is dominant over caitian C: and C: is subservient to B: but A: is not dominant over C: and C: is dominant over A: but not B:. It gets confusing at times. Caitian society is patriarchal, the husband and father are the highest authority and in most cases literally own females. It is a biological empirical fact. A father will often have a suitor lined up for any daughters which he may sire, or another male will seek to court a prospective female.” Twilight nodded absorbing the information carefully.

“I assume this has to do with how I have been treating you?”

“Yeah, you have dominated me and I don't begrudge you for it or want you to stop, if I am being totally honest.” Csia paused, before her face turned red as she blushed muttering, “it feels good.”

“So you want me to dominate you?” Twilight asked for clarification, her voice tinged with confusion.

“I do, but I must inform you that there shall be consequences. As you have dominated me you now have mating rights with regards to me, despite this you will still have to work for it, my human side lets me resist the ‘pride instinct’ to an extent. So if you think I'm just gonna roll over and present you,’ you got another thing coming. Also, while you may be dominant that doesn't mean I won't challenge you or that I won't have my own decisions and my own agency,” Csia warned with a glare at Twilight.

Twilight chuckled, “I wouldn’t have it any other way,” she retorted and looked at her with a playful leer. Csia squeaked at the intensity of Twilight’s stare.

“Anyway, back to the consequences. This means you’re both challenging my father and the suitor whom he picked. You will be challenged to a duel as is Caitian tradition. For, lack of a better term, for ownership rights over me.” Csia explained trying to ignore the lascivious looks and gestures Twilight was making.

“Do you want to be this male’s mate?” Twilight asked, her tone sounding serious. I’ll be damned if any one takes my mates.

Twilight blinked upon recognizing her possessive thoughts regarding Csia. She isn't my mate yet! Okay technically she is, but I am going to respect her wish to be courted first, Twilight thought to herself after stomping on the thought of ‘owning’ Csia, her draconic hoarding nature caused surging through her and briefly challenging her self-control. She had more than once caused people to flee on Betazed due to her killing intent and her draconic instincts poisoning her emotional aura.

The fall of Betazed in the year twenty three seventy four was the worst, I had difficulty being a high ranking member of society. As the founders kept harassing me with jem'hadar soldiers, the result was a foregone conclusion, ‘mess with me or my family and I will end you.’ They got the point after they tried to send a changeling, and then a shapeshifting liquid being as a last resort. It tasted like orange jelly and thrashed around a lot in my belly. Keeping that being in my belly was a challenge in and of itself. Twilight reminiscenced. I don’t know what it was but I felt great afterwards. Too bad they wouldn’t be sending more changelings anywhere near me, he-he-he! She added mentally.

Unfortunately it had garnered her a rather negative reputation, as did her fascination with weapons and battle, something she had acquired during her five hundred years of dragonhood. While she was respected and lauded in social circles, she received the epithet ‘The Crimson Warrior Princess’, ‘the Bloody Twilight’ and ‘the Twilight Reaper’.

“Eugh no, he is ridiculously low on the Caitian society leaderboard. And the only reason I was put with him was because of my half blood status,” Csia growled, narrowing her eyes as she answered, having masked the outward appearance of being affected by the stifling killing intent that her companion was emitting. It had come out of nowhere so suddenly that it caught her off guard with the intensity that she nearly choked on the stifling feeling. Luckily, as fast as it came it had left.

“Thanks for the warning, let's go make breakfast and then we can go to the administrators building, and hand in the request for a new bed and to post our course forms.”

“Oh, um, about that you know … . You don't have to worry about the bed,” Csia blushed while twiddling her fingers.

“Oh, and I also need to write mine down during breakfast first, now that I remember,” Csia added sheepishly.

“Okay, if that's what you want, but no more leaping out of bed in shock. A concussion is no laughing matter,” Twilight responded, smirking at Csia. As she moved away from Csia, she exaggerated the sway of her hips, gracefully leaving yet still retaining a regalness that Csia thought might have taken centuries to master.

Csia blushed and gulped as she slowly followed while watching Twilight, whom had gone over to the replicator to replicate breakfast ingredients and cooking utensils. She removed an apron from her inventory and put it on, and what was written on it made the blush on Csia’s cheeks deepen. ‘Fuck the cook!’ in big fiery-stylized and colored letters on the front of the apron, Twilight noted her staring and smirked. It was strange seeing such a mature behaviour in a fourteen year old, despite knowing the reason behind it and the girls real age. It made for an odd and distracting feeling, the contradiction between appearance and her true form.

Once Twilight had served up a breakfast made of bacon, sausages, toast, and waffles drizzled with maple syrup, while for a drink Twilight replicated real Saurian Brandy for herself while Csia asked for mango juice. Twilight removed her apron, storing it in her inventory.

Csia sat beside Twilight, eyeing the drink that she had chosen for breakfast.

“Shouldn’t you be drinking Synthehol?” Csia asked causing Twilight to turn towards Csia aghast,

“And let that swill touch my tongue, Csia, why would you even suggest such a thing!?” Twilight demanded, her face actually looking hurt, which caused Csia to flinch.

“Sorry, I didn’t know you took your drink so seriously,” Csia replied sheepishly.

“Aye, as Scotty senpai would likely say, a sober engineer is an insane engineer. That, and synthehol is an abomination to the palette of any alcohol connoisseur.”

“Senpai, what does ‘senpai’ mean?” Csia inquired curiously.

Twilight smiled, “It means senior, it is a term of address in Japan which is used for someone who is either your elder in physical age, or someone who has been in a job or in a higher grade in the school you are attending.”

“Oh, but wouldn't you be his senpai? I mean considering how old you are. I mean you were a blacksmith for so long if I remember correctly?” Csia responded blinking in confusion.

“While engineering and Blacksmithing are similar in purpose, they are different in actuality, an engineer designs, makes, and tests machines; while blacksmiths make and repair a variety of metal products. Scotty is an engineer and I am a blacksmith. If he ever took up blacksmithing, then I’d be his senpai,” Twilight explained with a smile.

“Besides, drinks don’t affect me like they do other races, I have myself a nice ‘furnace’ in my stomach to burn away all the effects. So I get to enjoy it and if I want to get drunk it’s either sulfuric or magical liquified mana to drink,” Twilight explained further as she ate, “Remind me to introduce you to Tidewater.”

Csia nodded, I doubt I’d be able to sniff let alone drink something you think is potent enough, she thought snarkily before she started writing down her subjects on a PADD she had picked up on the way over.

After they had finished breakfast, they cleaned up and Csia had finished her forms, both of them got into their uniforms, the ones they were given during the tour yesterday, and they left their quarters.

Csia walked close beside Twilight, both of them smiling. It didn’t take long to reach the administration building and drop off their forms. In return they were given the required schedule, and their cadet uniform.

“Huh, classes start next Monday, that means we have a week to prepare or ...” Twilight noted idly before being interrupted,

“Do you think you could try and teach me magic?” Csia asked while her eyes went wide and watery with unshed tears, her lip quivering, and her ears folded back, mewling cutely at Twilight.

“Okay! Just stop with the face!” Twilight demanded, Csia’s expression turned smug as she got one over Twilight. Twilight sighed before continuing, “don’t get your hopes up, I might have to do something to you that is going to be painful. Whether that thing actually works or not, is another thing.” Twilight huffed as Csia bounced around her happily, to which Twilight shook her head. So that’s what my ‘Yes! Yes! Yes!’ dance looks like from an outside perspective. Damn, it’s extremely cute. Twilight thought to herself.

After asking a member of the administrators if there was a room available for use in research experiments, they were escorted to a free room, one that was big enough.

Twilight conjured a set of chairs, with Csia took the offered chair.

“First, I’ll go over the explanation all fillies and colts learn. Assuming that everything from my world perfectly translates or is close enough not to cause significant complications. Inside every sapient being exists a core, this core is metaphysical and located roughly around the heart of the creature. This core contains magic and regulates the use of said magic. Normally as a unicorn filly or colt they would suffer from magic bursts. These bursts are in response to the unicorn’s desires or emotional state. Eventually they go away or are less frequent as they grow up.

“Okay, that sounds simple enough.” Csia wrote down notes on the magic lecture she was getting.

“Now just like any muscle, the core improves as the user uses magic. As they age, the older the being, the stronger the core becomes, though by how much varies depending on genetic disposition to it. The stronger the core the more magic it generates and stores.” Csia nodded writing down more notes.

I missed teaching people. Twilight thought idly with a smile.

“Under no circumstances should you let your magic run out completely, doing so is normally very difficult, but if you’re drained, you can die as magic is a fundamentally apart of our life force. Those who use too much magic at once or over a short period of time can expect nausea, dizziness, loss of strength and you temporarily can't use magic. This is called magic burnout and it requires rest and plenty of chocolate which helps with the mana regen.”

“Okay, so anything else I should know?”

“Yes, your eye color will change. You see the color of my eyes are magenta right? Well, that is because the magic in your body flows through you, once you strengthen your core enough, what color they will be, will be unique to you,” Twilight answered in response to her question,

“Now first thing you need to do is close your eyes, imagine the area where your heart is. What do you see?” Twilight asked.

“I see a glowing vine-like thing which is pulsing the light it’s emitting very slowly,” Csia replied with uncertainty.

“Oh my, it’s really atrophied, “ Twilight commented with alarm, “stand up! And hold still.”

Csia complied, standing up. Twilight walked up behind her with a serious look on her face as she caressed Csia’s body while her hands glowed, her hands sliding over Csia’s breasts as she hummed in thought, her body’s ley lines are atrophied horrifically, I mean I expected some atrophy for a scientific and technological society. I hope this isn’t the case for the rest of them, otherwise these species are doomed if i don’t do something drastic. Twilight was brought out of her musing by Csia,

“Umn Twilight, what’s wrong?” Twilight could hear the discomfort in her voice.

“Huh!? Oh, right, your ley lines and core are messed up, I am going to have to give you a jump start, as we do not have more than a week for metaphysical therapy,” Twilight muttered, her hand to her face as she thought of the process.

“Lay down on the floor as straight as you can,” Twilight instructed, Csia frowned, but complied.

Twilight conjured a bite-sized pole of clean wood, “Bite down on this, so you don’t bite your tongue off.” Csia eyed Twilight with worry, but bit down on the piece.

With a stomp, a magic circle appeared around Csia, Twilight’s hands began to glow brighter now.

With a look of sympathy Twilight fell to her knees beside Csia, her arms raised.

“This will hurt like a bitch, but bare with it, I will be pumping raw magic into your unused core and leylines. I can give you an magical anesthetic, but that could cause complications. If it gets to be too much, please tell me and I will magically anesthetic,” Twilight explained solemnly, just as her hands disappeared into lavender globes of light. Her hands laid on her chest where her heart would be. As soon as the magic seeped into her body, Csia began to convulse, her screams of pain muffled by the wood in her mouth, her entire body throbbing and sweating. Twilight pulled away.

“Csia …” Twilight started, but was interrupted by Csia.

“Will this give me magic?” Csia asked, eyes squeezed shut and panting.

“Yes, it can,” Twilight replied.

“Then continue, I’ll try and hold on, I can’t be seen as weak, I am the daughter of Feros, hero of my people. Do it!” Csia demanded, Twilight sighed sadly as she continued. Tears ran down her cheeks and Csia’s before her eyes opened again and after half an hour, she turned her attention to Twilight, her eyes begging her for the torture to end.

Twilight winced and paused again, letting Csia rest.“Csia, do you want me to stop?”

Csia shook her head, “Anesthetic. Now! Fuck pride!” Csia cursed as Twilight administered the magical anesthetic, chuckling at Csia’s curse, As further comfort for her, Twilight’s left hand stopped glowing as she offered it to Csia.

“Squeeze my hand.” Twilight winced as Csia took her offer. Csia cried out as lesser pain washed over her, and her body was now completely drenched in sweat.

After another half an hour Twilight’s hand stopped glowing and she helped pull out the severely damaged plank of wood, “There, there. It’s over, it’s done. Just relax,” Twilight cooed as she used her magic to remove Csia’s sweat.

“Are you feeling better?” Twilight gently asked as she stroked Csia’s face.

“Fuck … You …” Csia responded through pants, glaring half heartedly at Twilight.

“Maybe later,” Twilight retorted dismissively, causing Csia to blush.

“Now, I want you to hold your right hand up and concentrate on drawing the magic from your core, imagine that the magic is flowing from your core out to your right arm and down your fingers,” Twilight instructed with a reassuring smile. A pastel pink glow surrounded Csia’s hand.

“Now open your eyes,” Twilight finished excitedly as Csia opened her eyes that she hadn’t noticed she had closed. With a blink she looked at her glowing hand and a smile appeared upon her lips,

“Good work Csia, can you see the block of wood over there where I’m pointing, pick it up with your magic. All you have to do is, with your magic flowing, will your magic to encase the object and bring it to you. Strong feelings of want or need will make your magic respond so be careful you don’t over do it, but don’t forget to work your magic a little bit, otherwise your ley lines could atrophy again.” Csia blinked again and stuck her tongue out to the side of her mouth in concentration, her magic field flickered to life around the wooden block and it shakily floated over to her.

“Congrats, Csia! You used your magic for the first time!” Twilight praised beaming, it was then that Csia chose to pounce on Twilight, locking her lips with her. Twilight let out a surprised squeak but melted into it and wrapped her arms around her.

Csia suddenly stiffened and pulled back and looked away, “Sorry, I don’t know what came over me,” She turned to see Twilight’s eyes half lidded and the mare turned betazoid was panting hard. She cupped Csia’s face, turning her to face Twilight completely.

“Don’t be sorry,” Twilight replied huskily between pants as she neared Csia’s face.

“Twi … ?” Csia didn’t get to finish as Twilight’s lips returned locked with her own. Csia opened her mouth, letting Twilight in as the two of them got more passionate. Twilight’s soft tongue wrapped around Csia’s, the roughness spurring Twilight on to lick and pull Csia’s tongue into her own mouth as she explored Csia’s mouth, vibrations tickling Twilight’s tongue as Csia began purring at the attention.

Twilight’s hands snaked their way under Csia’s shirt, pulling down her bra as she started massaging Csia’s breasts and tweaking her erect nipples. Twilight lifted Csia’s shirt up revealing her exposed chest. Twilight broke the kiss to trail little pecks down Csia’s neck, before capturing her right nipple in her lips, where her tongue attacked it, the pants and moaning spurring Twilight on.

“Ahem!” came a cold voice, “Apologies for ruining your fun, however I must inform you this lab is not for that kind of experiment. As such you must cease or you will be made to leave. Also, while there is no rule against fraternization between starfleet cadets or officers, your quarters will be a more appropriate setting for your mating.”

Twilight turned to see a male vulcan standing there with a raised eyebrow,

“Sorry, we kinda got carried away after that first kiss,” Twilight explained smiling sheepishly as Csia straightened her clothes out, “won't happen again.”

“See that it doesn’t,” he replied before walking off,

“Next, I need to show you some basic exercises that you are to do with your magic, before we lay down the fundamentals of magical script,” Twilight started off and then awkwardly coughing.

Csia groaned at the last part, “Augh, I hate paperwork!”

After a while Csia asked, “Twilight, if he hadn’t interrupted, how far would we have gone?” Csia asked still panting lightly.

“All the way …” Twilight replied blushing softly.

“Oh.” Csia responded simply, Damn cunt blocking vulcan! Csia thought angrily.

Twilight giggled in response to the emotion she felt from Csia, “also, about the exercises and paperwork, it will help you learn, I promise. But think of it, you’re a pioneer, Csia, the first person in this universe to use magic, that wasn’t a primordial energy being!”

“Or an inter-dimensional alien chick,” Csia ribbed Twilight, receiving an amused chuckle from Twilight.

“No, that title currently belongs to me,” Twilight retorted with a smile.
