Vengeance is a Torch
Aiding the Moon
Previous ChapterNext ChapterMy eyes slowly drift open. With an audible yawn, I make an attempt to sit up straight... but for some odd reason, I can't even budge.
Wait, now I remember. Last night three followers of Nightmare Moon broke into my guest room and had a rough foursome. It was wild, hard and fun due to all the pleasure it gave us all. I fell asleep with those three mares, sleeping on me. Even as they all snuggled close to me, all nude just like me.
The twins were hugging my arms and their faces snuggle my face. The third one was sleeping on top of me, hugging me like a teddy bear. I was very stuck and it was still night. I don't know if I woke up in a next day or if it is the same day. Nightmare's eternal night makes it so confusing. Since it was still dark I figured I could still sleep on. But then I felt a soft hand gently caress my face and turned my face towards my left, and my lips was touched by soft, sensual one from one of the twins who seems to be awaken.
"Mmmmmmm~" She moaned into the kiss that were pressed so deep, until she finally broke it.
"Good morning, handsome~" She flirtingly said.
"Morning? Are you sure it's still not night?" I jokingly asked her.
She just giggled and leaned in to peck my lips with her own over and over, for a few times...before she went in for a stronger kiss and held it, and she moaned and just continued until the other two woke up.
"Good morning, you two loveponies~" The mare in the middle whispered seductively, causing the twin to stop.
"Morning you to mother." She said.
Mother!? Now that I look at her, she seems does look like a middle age mare although she's still attractive.
"Well Sir Arton Ravenheart, you have meet my daughters, Shadow Rose (left) and Shadow Star (right). I am Aqua Night, I am the commander of the Lunar force that assaulted Canterlot. We didn't meet because I was clearing the street while you and my girls fought the solar guards in the palace." She explained to me. Now all the three mares, who are awaken, starts to caressing and snuggling my whole body.
"You got very powerful stamina and strength, not only in battle but in bed too~" The mare to my right, Shadow Star, said with flirt as she reached for my lips with her own.
"I hope we can do this often, a real stallion to pleasure us is something you don't find everyday." Said Shadow Rose who starts nippling my ear.
"Alright, alright that's enough girls. As fun as it would be to continue a bit more, Queen Nightmare Moon expect us ready for duty as soon as possible. We are far from done with Equestria." Said Aqua Night to her daughters as she halted them from heating the situation again, much for their disappointment.
"Well I got a few words to take up with Nightmare myself. Let's not keep her waiting." I said and they all nobbed in agreement before all three of them gave me a peek on my face.
-:- 15 minutes Later -:-
While the mares dressed themselves in their revealing armors, Aqua Night was more fashioned with patters which showing her rank. I followed them, with a new set of armor that I only used once. I called it Wavebender. This armor allows me to perform a legendary form of magic that allow me to cast magical spells and feats through manipulating kinetic energy, with that I can use to strengthening my attacks, or tearing holes in walls with a simple touch, turn my warhammer's potential energy into kinetic energy, making it explosive, or cause a target to be unable to move or unable to stop if in motion. I can even use my armor's kinetic powers to create an aura that gives me enhanced physical capabilities such as speed, strength and durability.
I most definitely going to talk to Nightmare Moon about the Eternal Night thing since it has problems. Also I will want to know what kinds of jobb she would want me to do. I shook my head and walked on with the mares until we found Nightmare Moon in the castle's main dining room. The three mares went to her left while I decide to be on her right, I remove my helmet because I think it would be polite to talk to her face to face.
I let Aqua Night talk first.
"Your majesty, we are ready to carry out our duty to rid out Canterlot of those parasites that spread corruption everywhere." She said with strength and respect while she gave a slight bow.
"Very good, but we can't dispose of them all. Their wealth and influence are needed to bring stability to our kingdom so we must first judge which ones are worth sparing. Until then, I want you and your daughters to handle the imprisoned solar guards and see if you can sway them into joining the lunar guard." Nightmare spoke while she sat down and ate a little vegetables.
"Right away, princess." Aqua Night said before she and her daughters turned around and left, but not before giving me winks and swaying their hips flirtingly for me to see, I think.
After a few moments of that Nightmare was looking at me with a playful smirk.
"I take it you had a very good time with them last night?~" She asked with a minor cocky tone.
"You plotted this, didn't you!?" I jokingly accuse her while pointing my finger at her.
"Ooohhh, plotted what?" She childishly denied while giving me a innocent smile.
I snorted and sitt down on a chair next to her and I didn't have to wait for long for a servant mare to come next to me with a maiden outfit, asking me what I would like to eat. I asked if there is griffon menu, she said yes and went away to get it. I put my helmet aside and my warhammer next to it. I pour some red wine into a cup next to me and start drinking it.
"Well, since you're here. There are matters that I need you to do." Nightmare Moon said after to took a sip from her cup of wine.
"Matters such as?" I asked as I drank my cup completely and then the mare servant came to me with a plate of well grilled beef with mushroom and red wine sauce on it. It looks very delicious, I thank the mare gently with a smile and she bowed to me with a smile and a seductive wink before she walk away, moving her hips.
"With me being the new queen of Equestria I intent to bring alot of changes. But because I took it by force, my kingdom is still somewhat divided and now other kingdoms nearby will no doubt take advantage of it. I recieve some letters saying I should marry some of their sons and unite Equestria with their own kingdom while other letters demand that I should surrender or else they would invade." She explains to me her situation while I was eating my delicious meal. I listen to her while I was chewing the beef.
"However, I have a plan how to strike back at them and cause them to fear me. And that's where you come in." She said while looking at me with a sly face. I swallowed the beef in my mouth to speak.
"What would you have me do?" I asked her as I took another round of wine.
"I'm going to hold a peace meeting with other kingdoms as well at the grand galloping gala this year. I intent to bring those who tries to take advantage of my kingdom's crisis and I will present you to them." She explains to me, still wearing that smirk on her face. I start talking before she could open her mouth.
"You are going to tell them if they want you or your kingdom they have to go through me?" I asked while cutting a new piece of the beef to eat.
"Yes. I'll have you as my champion, when that day come I will challenge them in combat with champion against champion. With you as the 'Godslayer' and the 'Conqueror of Equestria' at my side, they either stand down or perhaps being arrogant enough to think they can defeat you. Either way, with you by my side would no doubt strengthening my kingdom's image." Nightmare Moon explains to me and I was chewing on my sweet, delicious beef.
"Well, just let you know that they are going to ask why I 'serve' you. I'm going to tell them that you hired me, since it's a mercenary's occupation to work for those who pays good." I said while taking another beef to my mouth. But she just smiles.
"And no doubt they will try to bribe you, saying that they would pay you double or tripple that I pay. Tell me, if one of them even offer you a daughter for a whore along with a mountain of gold in return that you kill me. Would you accept it?" She asked while she acts like a damsel(dumbass) in distress, I just swallowed my beef to talk.
"Accept? No. I would say 'If I break my contract with the night queen, what's stopping me from breaking my contract with you?' In short, if I betray my clients for bigger scraps no one would wanna hire me again." I explained to her as I drink some wine again.
"Excellent, then I won't have to worry about you turning back on me." She sound satisfied and went back to eating her food. Now is my time to talk to her.
"We do have a problem that you must take to consideration." I told her and earned her attention.
"This eternal night of yours would only bring death to the world. Why, because all life needs the sun to grow. Without sunlight, the planet will freeze and everything will die. This cannot happen. So I would advice you to bring the sun now and then, because you can't tell which day is what without both day and night, moon and sun." I explains to her, but after a moment of silence, she begins to giggle.
"Oh silly, I have already thought about that." She said and that confused me very much.
"With the aid of a group of alchemists I was able to create a lunar version of farming plants that only need moon light to grow. Therefore every farmer won't have to worry about not getting any food without the sun. As for the difference between today, yesterday and tomorrow. I have improved the moon a little bit, during day times the moon will act like the sun and it's light shall bring heat from it's lunar light beams, that way the world won't need to freeze to death. And therefore when the moon is down and is replaced with the sky full of stars, it will be the singal for the kingdom that it's 'night' and time to go to sleep. The next day will arrive when the moon brightens up." She explains to me with a cocky yet playful attitude, with a smile. While she drank a little more wine before looking at me and my half shocked face.
"So you see. My eternal night has no consequences. I was already aware of what the sun and day was needed for so I just needed to change my night into something better and therefore my Eternal Night will not bring harm to my citizents." She playfully assured me. I sight both in releif and irritation since that was a very cheeky way to tease me. I raised my wine cup towards her for a toast.
"I'll drink to that, you bloody vixen." I said and she brought her wine cup as we toasted and drank the wine. This mare just keep surprising me.

*A Few Months Later, third person's POV*
After their talk about the Kingdom's future, Arton and Nightmare Moon agreed that until the grand galloping gala comes Arton would not only help her train her soldiers to be strong but he would also function as a keeper of her peace, and she tasked him with maintaining order in Equestria, with generous payments of course.
During those months of Arton's life witnessed a fair amount of excitment. Many times, Queen Nightmare Moon called on him to bring renegade criminals and rebels to justice. Every time, Arton Ravenheart delivered.
It did not take long for his name to be recognized all across Equestria. He had successfully developed a reputation as an 'Lawbringer of the Night'. Arton was ruthless in his employment to Nightmare Moon and her justice. Thieves and rebels were arrested and brought into trials. Rapists and murderers lost their lives. He did not allow any corrupt party to sway him. Anytime a crime was committed in Equestria, the criminal and/or rebel was punished severly and harshly. And it is Arton who made it quite clear that no breaches of Nightmare's law would be tolerated.
Arton did, however, have standards. For instance, he went out of his way to ensure that all innocent parties were left unmolested. He refused to have guiltless blood on his hands.
During his time as Nightmare's favoured mercenary, Arton had the opportunity to become acquainted with many of her Lunar Guard. Aqua Night and her daughters already taken a liking to him but soon Arton would find himself stalked by too many mares for him to keep track on.
So everytime he finish a mission Nightmare Moon always give him good payment both in coin and allowing mares into his bed chambers. Arton Ravenheart cannot deny that thanks to Nightmare Moon his pocket is filled with gold and he gets alot of fun during night times.
*Present Time, Arton Ravenheart's POV*
Here I am, waiting outside Nightmare Moon's chambers. She was getting dressed since it's time for this grand galloping gala crap. I was wearing a new set of armor, an ebony one from skyrim along with the Ebony Warhammer.
This armor grants me all the magical powers from the Skyrim game, including the dragon shouts.
After a few minutes of waiting, Nightmare Moon finally came out of her chamber with a new elegant dress. Even I had to admit she looks good in it.
"Ready to meet the world now?" She asked while looking at me with a smile. I nodded to her.
"Lead the way." I said, gesture her to go first and so she did while I follow her behind.
Now this is the night I shall make my existence known to the world at this grand galloping gala.
Author's Note
The grand galloping gala event will happen in the next chapter. Feel free to provide a few suggestions of how it will go.
