The Dark Apprentice: The Call of Shadows

The Dark Princess was leaving Ms Mi Amore's house, having hand delivered the letter herself. Doing it this way would help ensure the victim thinks this letter was delivered by the recipient herself, it won't make sense otherwise. And of course using the regular postal system could trigger Celestia and reveal to her that the seal impressions had been tampered with.

Twilight approached the bat-winged carriage just like any other night she had for the past month, it was no longer something she was afraid to do, no, this was something she yearned for now. In fact the ride up there felt like it took too long, why she couldn't just teleport there nopony knows! But Luna's orders are the Dark Apprentices hymns to be sung and followed to the letter.

"Good of you to make it, My Dark Apprentice." Luna said in her regal, luminous tone.

"Tonight you will not speak, not a word, not even in your mind, tonight you will listen. And listen carefully to what I say next".

Twilight's heart thudded in her chest, what on Celestia's name was going to happen this time. If not already the theory of this dark side was beginning to get experimental enough, now talking is off the cards!

"Since in your last lesson you didn't want to hit me, we finalized that violence was out of the question. However a little humiliation would benefit your progress greatly. Sometimes Twilight Sparkle a little humiliation is good for the soul, for it awakens the deeper aspects of our more vulnerable side." Luna continued.

"I know you may consider this violent but I have a good feeling that when you see the science involved, youll see the benefits. Spanking or being spanked is actually quite common for conscious beings, why? Because sentient beings who can chemically produce celluli, produce this chemical when spanked. It happens when the buttocks are given a positive smack, and it releases this chemical. Sending positive endorphin like neurochemicals to the brain. Celluli therefore is very important in this case. And such is the theme for tonight's lesson".

"The feeling of being spanked also does wonders for lowering the ego and you Twilight, forgive me for sounding blunt; are someone who likes to blow their horn a little too much. You want to know what its like to be kicked down a peg, to be made to feel lower than someone, not because you are inferior to them, but to be humble. Therefore Twilight Sparkle, you will supplicate yourself to me this night."

For Twilight, Luna had her at the word supplicate.

Suddenly a shadow like smoke engulfed the lavender alicorn, but she was turned around before she could get a look at luna. Her whole body was forced onto the bed laid down on its front, Twilight wanted to speak so badly but for the life of her dare not now that she was in the clutches of whatever shadowspell this was.

The silky yet tightly bound shadowlike straps forced her back to arch into a perfect half pipe shaped curve, so her hindquarters and butt were raised far into the air. All of her mareparts were exposed, right in front of the view of Luna. It was strange, Luna had seen this countless times before, but she felt so exposed and helpless. It was in this moment Twilight new that she must have been right all along.

"You have been messy in your lessons with me Twilight Sparkle!" Luna said now in her olden ponish like booming voice.

"Now you will learn the hard way, naughty little mares need a little discipline and you have been a naughty little mare. Haven't you Twilight Sparkle". Luna said now with a slight aggression to her tone.

"Haven't you Twilight Sparkle?". She said again.

'Was this a question, did she want me to reply. I wasn't allowed to talk remember?' Twilight pondered vigorously to herself.

"Haven't you" SMACK "TWILIGHT SPARKLE" Luna said as she cracked a shadow like whip right across her butt cheeks.

She wasn't kidding that time, she genuinely meant it.

"Yeh, yessss Luna, Yesss Princess Luna" Twilight winced.

"Did I say that you could speak?" The Dark Princess screeched slamming the whip across the other side in a diagonal motion.

"And did I say you could call me Princess Luna!!! Its mistress to you!, my my you are doing very, well shit!". Luna said with a patronizing demeanor.

For Twilight this was the first time she had heard Luna swear, whats more that this word had used to refer to her performance, the ultimate berration!

"No, nno Mistress you didn't". Twilight said now pleading in utter confusion.

"Did I say you could speak!?? That is twice you have done that now!" She said lashing the whip again and again, Twilight was wailing at this point.

The searing pain running across her butt was agonizing, the burning pain wasn't fun at all. Whats more this was the most humiliating thing she had done in her life, with Luna. With Princess Luna and she was getting full on spanked by her. This was absurd, of all the things they could be doing together as well!

"Don't fight it Twilight, this is the point where you must do the hardest thing and give up your pride. I promise that if you do this, you will know pleasure like none other than before, always know I will never mislead you".

Those were about the only comforting words she had heard through this entire ordeal, but they were all she had to go on.

And with that, this pain she held onto, this total humiliation. She let it through like a tidal wave smashing the dam of her ego. Then the Dark Princess said.

"Now smack yourself Twilight, take this leather strap and smack yourself. Show me what a naughty little mare you can be." Luna's words at just flipped the lavender unicorns horny fuse, and quite literary too. A sort of frenzy began in Twilight's mind and without thinking she used her levitation powers to immediately take hold of the whip.

SMACK, SMACK.

"Hmmmmm, very good my student" Luna said with slight praise.

"How do you like that mistress, am I a bad bad girl. Twilight said now licking her lips and drooling. using her saliva to spittle her juices with her hoof on her soaking little quishie.

Luna could tell Twilight had done this to deliberately disobey her, but she knew this was a good thing. To Luna it signified that Twilight was becoming more open to self corruption, to make her do things that were in polar opposite to her whole being. And yet one month later, here she was doing just that! But she had to maintain her act.

"That's three times Twilight Sparkle. You've done it now." The Dark Princess said now suddenly taking the form of a shadow.

Out of the blackness twilight could see an all familiar grin, but before she could keep looking to see what had happened, a torrent of tentacle like whips tightly bound her, whipping her ass repeatedly while using the others to poke, prod and pleasure every oriphis and crack.

Twilight couldn't take all of this simultaneous pleasure, she was shaking to the core with nerves and sexual excitement. And her poor little tushy couldn't hold on anymore. She let out a load scream and sprayed cum all over Luna.

"See Twilight, you are indeed a very bad girl, when you go home at sunrise. I want you to take this whip with you, use it on yourself." The Dark Princess commanded in a gentle voice.

Twilight was at a loss to say no.

-

Twilight was back in her room lavishing the lesson she had just done with Luna. She made no time in putting spike to bed and getting comfy between her sheets.

The excitement she felt when she recalled Luna's explanation of celluli, something chemically tangible that Twilight could understand and utilize, by pleasuring and punishing her bottom like the naughty little mare she was.

Raising her butt as far up into the air as she could, she reached out of the saddle bag the Dark Princess had provided with her special item inside. Hovering the spatula like leather whip with her mind, she began to smack herself. At first it was just little taps, on the sides of her cheeks.

Each time recalling Luna calling her a naughty little mare, each time her nethers getting wetter and wetter.

Twilight began to smack herself harder, as she did. She felt this dark feeling beginning to arise within her, as if she was enjoying some sinful act upon herself, this humiliation is the very polar opposite of her personality. And yet the corrupting of herself just turned her on all the more.

SMACK, SMACK.

Twilight let out a little squeal as she did and without even touching herself, her legs were drenched.

Taking both hooves between her legs, she continued to smack harder and harder, the stinging starting to really hurt now. But this only made her do it all the more.

WHACK, WHACK, WHACK!!!

Twilight let out a scream as a huge spray of pussy juices spewed out of her and all over the bed. She was moaning and moaning into her pillow face down to muffle the sound as much as she could, luckly this didn't wake anyone, slowly her breathing turned back to normal and with that she fell asleep. This time as a dirty little mare as well as a naughty one.

Twilight had now, well and truly sodomized herself.

-

The next day was spent reading up on previous research and finishing assignments for Celestia, today was as busy as any other. But then there was the letter she got from Rarity about some new store opening up in Ponyville. It wasn't rare of Rarity to ask for a favor, quite the contrary. But to ask about help with a spell, that one was new!

Now of course the Carousel boutique and the Ponyville boutique were not the same establishment, the latter was just about to open. And tonight, had been that opening night.

She couldn't help but think back to their first conversation about the topic of, 'se.uhh..ex'. Which as it had with the others greatly surprised her, it most defiantly didn't seem like one of the things she'd be open to discussing. Nevertheless the opening evening went down like any other did, Mi Amore Cadenza attended, Rarity was as nervous as usual and Twilight managed with little effort to show Rarity the spell in time needed to appease Cadenza to sell her product line here.

-

Twilight had just gotten home, being tired should be whats occurring yet her new found reality seemed now unaware of the concept of rest. But For Twilight her guilt was now too much, sat at her desk she was ready to put pen to paper, she had had enough. It was time to come clean to Celestia about this secret affair. And sadly face whatever consequences beset her.

These lessons she sure was enjoying, there could be no mistake about that. She just needed to trust Luna's word and pluck up the courage to tell Celestia.

But, no sooner had the thought left her mind. A scroll appeared in front of her. It read.

Dear Twilight Sparkle,

My faithful student, I must see you in my castle at once. Understandably you will be busy with things, but could you please visit my tower by sunset tomorrow, this is important.

Your faithful teacher,

Princess Celestia.

Twilight's heart sank like a stone.

She had just 24 hours to decide what to do, another lesson was due tonight. So she resolved to take it up with Luna about this, to see what could be done.

-

When Twilight arrived at the castle tower, Luna was stood with her back to her.

"Luna, Princess Luna" Twilight said running up to her teacher, panting along the way.

"This is serious, Celestia has called me in for a meeting, she wants to see me about something important tomorow!". Said Twilight.

"Have you learned nothing from me yet, Twilight Sparkle? When you address me, you address me as mistress. Understood?". Said the Dark Princess with a sultry tone coking her eyebrow up.

As rude as she found this, it made Twilight a little moist. As if somehow she was now turned on by her teachers berating, even if this news was of nuclear importance! In fact it was this brief procrastination off the situation, focusing more on Luna that really began to butter her breadcakes.

"But what should I say to her, this has been going on for a month now and she still doesn't know." She said.

"Why not simply tell her rather than putting it off, I have told you on our first meeting that my sister would not be angry at you for being my Dark Apprentice. Yet you don't trust that." Luna had a good point, why didn't Twilight trust that. After all Luna was Celestia's closest pony, even more so than Twilight was.

But for Twilight the fact that she hadn't been detected, continued to go undetected and still enjoyed and learned new things. Was now the norm. As well as her time with Luna turning more into a crazy continuous addiction that she was becoming ever more overpowered by.

She was really letting herself go and the worst part was, Twilight new it.

"You remember the book, 'The Call of Shadows' my Dark Apprentice?" Luna continued.

"This book is one of my personal writings, I showed it to you two weeks ago. But I did not divulge its contents. It contains the secrets and initiations in order to be able to form your physical self into a shadow (among other things) and is a great feat of research that took over 500 years to perfect. In other words rather than using shadows to travel through like with shadowrouting, with these teachings you will become the shadow, you are the night". Luna said, this time she was not joking.

"To be able to use this book you must undergo shadow training, for that you will need to undergo a secret mission. One that YOU must go on alone". Twilight looked confused, that short expectation for some good news had just been quashed.

"You...you want me to go and train alone, for how long?" She asked.

"For as long as I say Twilight Sparkle, as they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder." Luna did have her way of being both sweet and scathing at the same time. But she was enjoying these new spanking lessons, this was like going from hero to zero in 60 seconds. Or was it more like a little naughty to full blown evil? Twilight hadn't quite figured that part out yet but it was light years away from the whole hitting each other in the face idea! So that was a relief.

'Now I have to go on some secret paramilitary sorcery exercise in order to be able to read an old dusty tome' Twilight mentally remarked.

And a dusty tome of that it was indeed. But Twilight along with being berated, had a thing for dusty tomes. Although not anywhere near as moist!

"You will venture out into Equestria, to every town and smack ponies who you are not close friends with" The Dark Princess commanded.

"You want me to what?" Twilight couldn't tell whether Luna was being serious or not.

"This has less to do with domination than it has to do with forming yourself into a shadow, you will need to be able to perform other things from this book while in your shadow form. It also provides me with a little in flight entertainment while your away!" She said, this time in a seemingly more mockingly way than her usual iridescent replies.

"You watch me!?" Twilight squeaked.

"Haha, just joking my Dark Apprentice, however I'm quite sure now that you wouldn't mind if I did." Said the Dark Princess mockingly with a wink.

However Luna was right, in order to learn from whatever was in that book. She would need to be able to do this first.

"We will end tonight's lesson here Twilight Sparkle, at this stage our relationship must be put on hold until you have completed your mission, however your powers of our agreement will remain. Do not worry I will signal you to come back. You'll know its me when it happens."

Twilight didn't have time to reply before the Dark Princess had disappeared in what seemed like a poof of Trixie's smoke, talk about a new level of being cut off. Now she was cut off without any time frame to work in, alone she would have to undergo this mission. But first, she had an important appointment, to see Princess Celestia.

As Luna disappeared into the night, she entertained a little private thought.

'Its working'.
