The Dog of the Lunar Republic

Twilight yawned and blinked her eyes owlishly. She remembered the castle and Telvanni well enough so she didn't freak out when she realized where she was laying. She also remembered the last thing she'd heard Telvanni say. Smiling warmly, Twilight nuzzled her head into the Lycan's neck and hugged him tightly.

"Yes, he is quite soft, isn't he my little pony. Though that is not the only reason you grip him so tight, is it?" rang Luna's voice.

With a yelp Twilight twisted her head around to see the Night Princess lying on Telvanni's bed.

"Princess Luna! I didn't know you were here. You startled m.... wait, this isn't what it looks like!" Twilight floundered trying to figure out exactly how to explain the situation.

It was about this time Telvanni woke up. The Lycan shifted positions jokingly holding Twilight in his lap with his arms around her torso, the mare forelegs hangin over the Lycan’s arms.
"Hello mother! I was just catching some sleep with my plushie here. A really comfortable and adorable plushie."

Even recognizing the joke Twilight couldn't help but blush brightly, drawing laughs from both Luna and Telvanni.

"I'm sure she is. Now could you please let Twilight go before her cheeks ignite. I'd hate to try to explain that to Tia." Luna guffawed. "Anyway, on a more serious matter, how are you doing my son. Tell me what happened and how you are faring."

Telvanni explained that for him not a single day went missing and he was sent straight to this time. How he saved Twilight and fought the Manticores. Twilight turned a little green when Telvanni explained his tactics. He then told her about staying at Twilight's house, and the significance of the house. The club and the 'Call to the Lost' and then Twilight and him coming out to the castle culminating with Twilight's misplaced curiosity and Telvanni helping her.
"Then I woke up upon hearing Twilight yelp, though to be honest I hadn't expected you mother, but instead for her to have forgotten last night, and what she said."

Luna got an inquisitive look at this final comment. "Really? So what is it Twilight said that had you so worried that she'd forgotten it?"
Luna bore a half knowing look that told Twilight clearly that Telvanni was about to spill everything.

"Grargglelarglelarg! Oh would you listen to my stomach, I must be awfully hungry! How about we find something to eat? Ahehhe..." Twilight interjected pitifully. In fact she only reassured Luna of her suspicions.

~~~~~~~

Twilight stared in wonder as Telvanni led her through the inner depths of the castle. There was so much here that it was hard to believe that Twilight had only just scratched the surface those five years prior. After an amount of time the pair made their ways to the kitchens that had also been sealed and preserved like the suites. Normally a kitchen of its age would need restocked, but with powerful magics even the food was preserved having not aged since the spell had been cast.

"Quite powerful magic. It had been tried on other beasts before but they gave up when the subjects all came out stark raving mad, even had they been frozen for a few seconds. Actually that's how my Uncle Brandshei went. Thought he was a chicken after that." Telvanni explained as Twilight curiously poked at an apple.

"This is amazing magic! To think you've got apples, peaches, bananas, grains....."

Telvanni looked over to see why Twilight had suddenly stopped talking. The Lycan saw that she had followed the foods down the line and stumbled upon the meats. The mare held a disgusted and horrified look on her face but couldn't seem to look away. Padding over Telvanni seated himself in front of Twilight, obstructing the view of the meat.
"Dragons, Lycans and Griffons. Changelings depending on if they were in Lycan or Griffon form. We had to support multiple races diets after all."

Twilight nodded, looking a lot less prone to be sick. "That makes sense. I mean, I'm not going to say I don't find it mildly revolting, but that definitely makes sense."

"Well, if you wish to move on, heat this and you've got some cinnamon oatmeal with a couple different spices from the Minotaurs. I also believe, if the magic is still working....and it is, here we are! A cold glass of orange juice!" Telvanni cried as if he'd found the Holy Grail. Upon magical inspection of the box he'd pulled the glass from Twilight figured he might as well have. To think of enchantments on the box astounded here. The preservation spell, a spell to keep the box chilled and another to keep it airtight! Sure, ponies had refrigerators of course but the sheer complexity of the magic was a breakthrough in of itself.

Twilight started eating the oatmeal when she realized that Telvanni wasn't eating. "Not hungry?"

"Nop-" the rest of the Lycan's words were drowned out by his stomach growling. "Huh. Yes, I'm hungry. I would find eating in front of you in poor taste though, so I am refraining."

"Why would eating in front of me be in poor taste? That makes no sense. Wait...'Dragons, Lycans, and Griffons'." It dawned on Twilight, granted she should have figured it out already. Telvanni was a canid predator with canines meant for cutting and ripping meat. Omnivorous due to the plant life he'd eaten back in Ponyville.
"You can eat it if you want. It wouldn't be fair for me to restrict your diet."

"That's sweet of you Twilight, but I don't wish to upset you." Telvanni replied, nuzzling the mare fondly.

"Last night. Did you mean it?"

"What?"

Rolling her eyes mentally Twilight specified. "After I said I loved you, did you reply in kind to save my feelings, or did you mean it?"

Profound question. Twilight was a mare, student of Celestia and had only known Telvanni for a couple of days. She was also kind and caring, enjoyed the Lycan’s company and made him feel welcome. He felt a kinship there, it was at the level of friendship but deep down he felt that he wanted more. He not only wanted to love Twilight, but wanted her love in return. So how did he answer the question?

"Mhmmm!.....Mmmmm."
It had startled Twilight at first, but she found herself humming contentedly against the Lycan's lips as the pair kissed.

"Does that qualify as a proper answer from mineself to you?" grinned Telvanni in a somewhat cocky manner.

"Mmhmm. Definitely. Well, if we are going to date, then you will need a place to stay in Ponyville. My library seems just fine, but you will need your food, not pony food. Go ahead and eat Telvanni. I'll have to get accustomed to it eventually, right?"

Telvanni wasn't going to answer yes or no, instead he padded over to the food and got the ingenious idea of wrapping the meat in lettuce and adding some tomatoes(because he liked the taste) and then put the bundle in between two pieces of bread. Grains, vegetables and meat all in one easy to go package.

"Should have thought of this back in the war! Don't know why I didn't. Mine friend and blood brother Chromatic Blur had an uneasiness watching mineself and our fellow blood brother and griffon Gasca eat meat openly. Now it looks as if I'm just eating bread and vegetables." Telvanni grinned proudly, happy that he wouldn't be bothering Twilight with his dietary needs.

The mare just snuggled against the Lycan's side pleased to have found somebeast to share her affections with.

~~~~~~~

Celestia couldn't help but be a little worried for Luna. Thinking back she had been harsh with her words and just because she had lost didn't mean that it hurt less for the Lunar mare. Finally the elder Alicorn decided to scry her sister to see how she fared.

"Hmm. I'm sure Twilight would be interested in this book, and these three would definitely be something that would greatly interest her. Oh and this book here would help her if she finds herself eager on the topic of dating. This should do for now!"

Celestia was dumbfounded. First was that she did not recognize the library, and second being-
'Twilight is interested in dating?! What?! With whom?!'
Shaking her head she was quick to scry the mare and enact a second spell that allowed her to feel what the mare was feeling.

"You've got some on your nose silly." ---- "Eww, I said it was on your nose not my cheek, watch where you're slobbering!"

Celestia felt a nearly giddy joy associated with elation caused by spending time with somepony you cared deeply for. She also saw the slightly wet spot on her little mare's cheek where she'd been licked.
'Seems I haven't become acquainted with her stallion friend.'

"Yeah, well I know you’re ticklish on the back of the neck!" ---- "I'm not ticklish, no really I'm not. Stop, don't come any closer! Bwahahahaha stop it, please mercy!"

That same elation swept through Celestia as she watched her student get flipped over and tickled right on the stomach.
'Same spot she had as a filly.' Celestia remembered warmly.
Then the elation switched to something else and the Solar Princess was quick to cut the empathetic bond as to not seem voyeuristic. There was Twilight, obviously kissing another pony. It bothered Celestia that she didn't know this pony, and it bothered her in a motherly sense that Twilight had started dating. Deep down though she was happy her little filly was all grown up.
'I must go visit her in the next couple of days.

~~~~~~~

Back in the Ponyville Library courtesy of Luna's teleportation magic Twilight and Telvanni sat next to each other going through their own assigned books.
A modern dating guide, guide on how to prepare meat foods and a guide on modern colloquial terms for Telvanni and Lycans~A Culture and some old unpublished books about what really happened during the war between Sun and Moon.

It was the makings of a beautiful evening.

~~~~~~~

Luna swept into her room via balcony feeling happier than she had since becoming friends with the Elements. Nothing could possibly ruin how she felt!

"Hello little sister, how was your trip?"

Well, it wasn't ruined, but that might put a damper on things.

"Tia, my trip was grand! You wouldn't believe how refreshing it was." Luna smiled warmly.

Celestia smiled back in response. "I'm sure it was. Visit anywhere special though? Meet anypony you know?"

Luna wasn't stupid, she knew Celestia knew something right off the bat. "I visited my personal library back in my old castle. You do know that I had spells up to deter anypony from looting the place, don't you?"

"Yes. I found that out personally when I finally checked the place over after....anyway I checked my empathy link with Twilight and found something quite interesting! She's dating somepony!" Celestia squealed, ecstatic that her Twilight was growing up.

'You seem so happy now Tia, I do hope it stays that way.'
"Yes, I found that out during my visit too. Even met her coltfriend." Luna said calmly.

Celestia was in Luna's face in seconds. "You have to tell me what he is like!"

"Alright Tia. You haven't been this giddy since Cadence got married. Thank you that you don't act like a school filly in front of our subjects." Luna laughed. "Okay, he is caring, treats Twilight with the utmost respect but isn't a stick in the mud either. He does his best to ensure that she is comfortable, but they are both new to dating and it’s both their first time to do so."

Celestia was pleased that whoever it was was so good. "Any other thoughts on him?"

"Well, he's a little different but not in a bad way. I'd go so far to say that your first impression of him would not go well, but that you should look past it and try to accept him. And before you get your proverbial knickers in a twist I believe with the utmost certainty he would do the same thing that Evening Star did for you and Telvanni did for me when it comes to Twilight's safety. Oh, and he saved her from a pair of enraged Manticores. Now, I'm tired, good day sister." With that Luna pushed Celestia from her room and shut the doors.

~~~~~~~

Telvanni awoke with a damp feeling he discerned as drool running down the side of his neck. 'I'd feel disgusted, but this is definitely not the worst thing I've had in my fur.' Shaking Twilight awake the Lycan washed up and picked up the list of things to do.

Today's Business

Go to Fluttershy's and see about possibilities of using meat from her supply for the bears.

Go to Sweet Apple Acres to get a barrel to preservation spell practice.

Have a party at Vinyl's club for Telvanni and to announce that we are dating to our friends.

What could possibly go wrong there? Nothing. That meant smooth sailing and Telvanni and Twilight could be happy.

~~~~~~~

Celestia had been up most of the night and all morning. She could do nothing but think of Twilight, but was hesitant to try scrying or the empathetic link lest she catch the mare in something embarrassing. Finally unable to ignore it any longer Celestia turned and leapt off her balcony winging her way to Ponyville.

~~~~~~~

Twilight had opted for going to Sweet Apple Acres first so that they would have something to store the meat in when they left Fluttershy's, which was where they were at now.

"Go on ahead, Twilight. Knowing Fluttershy she won't be able to get a word out with mineself standing anywhere near her. Oh and here is your barrel.... You do realize you don't have to do this for me right? I can always go bug-cat hunting." Telvanni joked.

With a smile that would melt the hearts of the most battle hardened soldiers Twilight booped the Lycan on the nose. "Of course I'm sure. Why don't you just hang around here or something and I'll be right back, okay?"

Telvanni sat and scribbled in the sand. He was actually doing a very good job of etching Twilight’s face when he heard wings beating behind him, coming in for a landing.
'Must be Rainbow Dash, she's the only pegasi that isn't afraid I'll eat her.'
"Hey there Dash, not worried I'll have myself a snack? Hahaha-oh shit...."
Turning fully Telvanni yelped out a couple more explicatives and crouched low to the ground head bowed (a Lycan symbol of not wishing to fight or challenge somebeast.).
"Hello Celestia....fancy meeting you here... hehe."

Celestia was standing over the Lycan she'd thought (and deep down sort of wished) was dead.
"Telvanni...I take it your mother had a hoof in your reincarnation!?" Celestia growled, slamming a hoof down in the dirt and powering up her horn.

"Elements of Harmony actually... funny huh?" Telvanni said pitifully. Sure, he'd taken on Celestia before, with about 15 backup plans each time and 30 different escape routes.

This caught the Alicorn off guard. "You mean to tell me she used the Elements to bring you back?!"

"Umm, actually you used the Elements...they sent me here. Mother said it was because I'm not evil or something..."

Celestia narrowed her eyes. Either Telvanni was stupid or tempting her wrath. "So, the Elements sent you to this time period. Most likely because the current Elements are at their peak in power. I'm sure they just wanted to save you for later."

"Come on Celestia. It has been but a few days for mineself and I've been convinced to forgive you. You've had one thousand years, and it was not my fault!" Telvanni had gone from scared to pissed. He'd had his life become perfect then destroyed by this Alicorns forces and forgiven her, but the bitch couldn't forgive him after one thousand damned years?!

Jerking the Lycan into the air and dragging him to hover face to face with Celestia Telvanni heard three words growled out. "And who, pray tell, convinced you to forgive me. Actually which pony was downright stupid enough to trust you!?"

Just then a voice called out. "Hey Telv, I got the barrel filled to the brim. I'm happy I got those spells down cause boy does it st-" *Thud* "Princess Celestia? Telvanni!"
Twilight stood there, spilled barrel of raw meat spilled out next to her, staring at the Princess, practically her mother, holding Telvanni, her newest friend and love interest, glaring at him menacingly.

"Twilight...you know this dog?" quested Celestia.

"Um, yes." the mare replied shrinking towards the ground having never seen Celestia this mad before.

"And you did not tell me?"

"No, Princess Celestia."

"It matters not. I will be taking Telvanni here back to the castle. He can sit in the dungeons while I determine whether or not he poses a threat." the Alicorn stated flatly.

At this Telvanni started thrashing wildly, desperate to break free of the Alicorns hold. He may not have known the current Celestia well, but he had clear memories of other members of the Lunar Republic found in dungeons from the war. Twilight was similarly affected, Celestia's words having caused one of the memories she'd drawn from Telvanni to come flashing through her mind. The lavender mare's breakfast quickly came back up to greet her.

Motherly instincts kicking into overdrive with how stressed Celestia was and the Alicorn dropped Telvanni and rushed over to see if Twilight was ok.
"Is it the smell Twilight? Are you sick, you don't seem to have a fever, tell me wh-"

Telvanni's voice suddenly cut in. "Just a dream Twi. It's just a dream for you. None of it is real. Just push past it. Remember the night before last. The last thing you heard before you went to sleep. Think about that."

Twilight nodded slightly as Telvanni slowly padded over and flipped the barrel upright and gathered and replaced the spilled meat and resealed the barrel's lid.

"You okay now, Twi?" Telvanni asked, seating himself on Twilight's side opposite of Celestia.

"Yeah, I just thought....I'm sorry about Braxus." Twilight sighed.

Up until now Celestia had been too stunned due to hearing Telvanni sooth Twilight. The mention of Braxus brought back memories though. Hefting Telvanni into he air Celestia roared at him in anger. "You have been telling her those tales of war?!"

"ENOUGH! Please Princess? Can you just put Telvanni down? I thought he was being paranoid when he acted sacred to meet you, and I told him you were better than that. Please just stop." Twilight started shouting but quieted down to a near whisper towards the end.

Twilight's outburst was enough to halt Celestia and have her release Telvanni.

"Twilight?"

"I knew about that because I was stupid and thought Telvanni was protecting himself emotionally be refusing to tell me about the war. I used a spell to copy his memories because I was curious and didn't know what it was. Needless to say I emotionally traumatized myself and thankfully Telvanni was there to help me." Twilight explained, ready to staunchly defend her partner.

Celestia sat for a moment thinking over everything she had heard. That's when a possibility she really didn't want to exist popped into her head. Telvanni could have easily fended off two Manticores if he played his cards right, and Twilight seemed to be quite comfortable around him, even having gotten raw meat in a barrel for him. Just as Celestia was thinking over it all Twilight leaned over and nuzzled against Telvanni's neck comfortingly and the Lycan planted a quick kiss on the shorter mare’s brow.
'Luna couldn't possibly mean... she said he was caring, wanted to keep her safe, was respectful of her. She also told me not to judge him at first appearance. Damn it this can't be possible!'
Facehoofing, Celestia sighed out a question that would solve everything.
"Telvanni, did you save Twilight from a pair of Manticores? Just answer please."

"Um, yes. I fail to see how that pertains to mine current standing with you though." Telvanni replied carefully.

'Screw it, let’s ask a few more.'
"And why did you not tell us about your friendship with Twilight Sparkle?"

Telvanni looked at the particular lavender mare lovingly before answering. "I decided that if you were going to punish anybeast, I did not want Twilight involved. To keep her safe."

Celestia slammed a hoof into the ground causing both Twilight and Telvanni to jump. "You two are dating, aren't you."

The tone in the Alicorns voice told all. She knew and there was no hiding it. Surprisingly it was Twilight who stepped forward to defend her choice.

"You know, Cadence always said 'We don't pick the ones we fall in love with, love picks the ones that are right for us.' I've never felt myself attracted to anypony, er, anybeast that is. Telvanni has been nothing if not cordial and refused to even take my guest bed in favour of the floor 'incase it was needed'. He is polite, charming, funny, has a great attitude and personality and has helped me with two problems that I caused. On top of that the first problem he helped me fix was the Manticores, and while I was shocked to learn he killed them the fact of the matter is when you found out they would have been tracked down and ponanely euthanized regardless. He had no reason to trust me either, especially coming from a war where anypony involved with you was an enemy but he gave me the benefit of the doubt anyway. I can't tell you the why of it, but I love Telvanni and I won't let you hurt him." a very bold Twilight stepped forward protectively.

Telvanni felt his heart soar as Twilight stood up for him, but he also feared for Twilight's safety. "That attitude is one of the many reasons I have fallen for Twilight. On that note..." Telvanni wrapped and arm around Twilight and lifted her off to the side. "...Should you still find reason to punish me, I would not have Twilight hurt in the process."

Celestia was hard at work sorting out her emotions. She was so proud that Twilight had been strong enough to stand up for the one she loved, and she was overjoyed that the mare had found somebeast to love. She was even happy that the recipient of Twilight's affections would keep her safe. But she wanted so badly to freeze Telvanni in stone or send him to the moon.
"I need to think. My head is too cluttered. I apologize for scaring you both."
And then Celestia was off, winging her way back to Canterlot.

Twilight threw her hooves around Telvanni's neck as soon as they weren't under Celestia's scrutiny. "Now I know why you were so afraid of seeing her. I never imagined she would have acted like that. Heck I was even scared."

Telvanni returned the embrace and kissed Twilight on lightly. "Could have fooled me. Here I was shaking in my fur and you just stepped right up and gave her a piece of your mind. I know I said I've faced her before, but I had a hefty number of escape routes planned and enchantments to ensure my escape. That is the most scared I've been in ages."

"So the big bad wolf can pick a fight with two Manticores that are bigger and stronger than him and he has no knowledge of what they are. On top of that he was suffering from dehydration and magical trauma. But oh, face him against one Alicorn." Twilight giggled, nuzzling deep against Telvanni’s neck.

"Well, you go pick a fight with Celestia then. Now let's get home and get ready for the party." Telvanni jibed.

Twilight's features dropped into a frown.

"Hey, Twilight, she'll be fine. She just needs time to think things over. I don't think she ever got a chance to grieve. She was probably holding Equestria back from collapsing at that point and never got around to it, but she will." With a final reassuring hug the couple made headway back to the library.

~~~~~~~

Luna was having the nicest dreams of back when Telvanni was still a pup. Of how the Lycan used to clamber all over the Alicorn, or run through the fields of Moonblossoms in the Everfree Plains. Or how he would scream her name angrily.... wait, what?

"LUNA! I have words for you!"

'Damnit Celestia, what is the problem now, I was enjoying my slumber.'
Sitting up in her bed she found Celestia standing in the open doorway to her room glaring at her.

"You did not tell me that your son was alive! Nor did you tell me that he was dating my little Twilight!" Celestia fumed.

"Well, I tried broaching the subject when my connection with Telvanni flared, but you seemed too angry so I visited my old castle in secrecy expecting him to be there. As for the latter. Well I knew you wouldn't approve and hoped I could improve your attitude before you found out." Luna grumbled.

"Well maybe I wouldn't have scared Twilight and nearly ripped Telvanni's head off if you would have told me, did you ever th-"

"THOU NEARLY DIDST WHAT TO MINE SON!?" Luna roared, breaking into her old speak and Royal Canterlot voice blowing Celestia back a metre or so.

"Telvanni is fine. I didn't expect to ever see him again and when I did I snapped a little. Then Twilight intervened and made me look like an ass and I left." Celestia mumbled.
She was met with silence.
"You aren't going to reassure me or anything?"

Luna glared at her older sister. "No I am not. It has been over one thousand years and you still hold onto your grudge. Did your believing you killed him not ever appease that, or did you just in turn blame him for my transformation into Nightmare Moon? You are older than me and should know better at this point."

Celestia let out a hefty sigh. "You are right. I'm sorry Luna."

"I will not take your apology. I may be disappointed in you, but you did not insult or scare me. Sort out your thoughts then go find and talk to Telvanni and Twilight." Luna replied a little harsher than necessary.

"Alright...Can you run things for a few days. I need to go think."

Stepping off of her bed Luna walked up and hugged Celestia. "Of course dearest sister. I am pleased that you are making an attempt to recover and fix things. If anypony needs a break, it is most definitely you."

~~~~~~~

Despite the stress from earlier Twilight and Telvanni were enjoying their party that Pinkie had thrown for the Lycan. Vinyl was pumping out music from a huge Collab. called Balloon Party and everypony was having an all around good time.

"So Ah gotta ask this cause it's got mah head all confused an’ such. Ah've seen you on two legs and Ah've seen you on four and your adept at walking both ways. Which do ya prefer and why?" Applejack inquired.

"Lycans were able to walk on two legs easily and our shoulder bones actually magically morph shape to alter our style. When on two legs it lengthens our forelegs and turns them more arm like and lengthens our toes to claws. It's great for fighting and such which is what I did when I faced off against the bug-cats. The we can also walk on four shortening our arms slightly and making the claws for paw like. I've stayed on four legs around you ponies a lot because Big Macintosh is the only one close to my size and he's about 75-90 centimetres shorter than I am. I'd be taller on two legs. All in all it's kind of a politeness thing." the Lycan smiled.

Rainbow, having had a couple of drinks at this point, stumbled over to offer her piece. "Yeah, well how fast can you get moving? Hundred bits says I can outrace you any day of the week!"

Telvanni was not about to mention that ponies used to be on the Lycans’ menus about 100 years prior to him being born. "I'm sure you could, but in the meantime..." Telvanni nudged the inebriated mare and she feel over kicking her legs comically.

"Gah, where’d the floor go, I'm falling at the sky!"

Everybeast set about laughing at the scene, including Rainbow who didn't even know why they were laughing to begin with. Twilight was the first to get her mirth contained and nudged Telvanni for him to do the same. The Lycan understood that Twilight wanted to tell the girls about them before anybeast else got drunk.

"So girls, Telvanni and I have found something really interesting out, if you wouldn't mind hearing us out." Twilight smiled hesitantly, nervous about admitting it but wanting to get it said and out of the way.

Of course Pinkie had to go and be Pinkie.

"Oh, is this where you're going to tell me and the girls that you and Telvanni are dating and you figured it would be a good time to tell us all at once because you're both too nervous to tell us more than once? Because if it is I totally can't wait to hear it! I love surprises and good news!" the pink pony exclaimed bouncing up and down.

Twilight and Telvanni stared at Pinkie incredulously while the girls all stared back. It was Rainbow Dash that interrupted the silence.

"So have you two, like, bucked yet? I bet Telv here is a real animal in bed hahaha!"

Twilight and Telvanni both blushed furiously at the idea of having that of all things brought up, Pinkie now looked disturbingly curious, Fluttershy was also blushing heavily and Applejack and Rarity just shook their heads.

"That was terribly uncouth Rainbow!" Rarity huffed.

"Ah come on, I know you were all thinking it! Have you two even kissed? Seriously!" Rainbow blathered drunkenly.

Twilight rolled her eyes this time despite her cheeks still tinted a tad pink. "Yes we have. Can we drop the subject now?"

"Prove it!"

All eyes turned to stare at Pinkie who was pointing at the pair. "How do we know your not lying?!"

Rolling his eyes at the antics Telvanni dipped forward and kissed Twilight, who returned the kiss gladly.

And of course that wasn't going to be the end of it.
Cue Rainbow Dash in three two one-

"You call that a kiss?! This is a kiss!" Rainbow wrapped her hooves around the nearest pony, Pinkie Pie, and drew her into a full on open mouth tongue down throat kiss.

"Wow Dashie, you taste like skittles!" Pinkie giggled.

Twilight just stared dumbfounded. "We aren't planning on doing that, are we?"

"No, no we are not. Besides, I don't think it would work well for us." Telvanni deadpanned before letting his tongue loll out of his mouth. It was about three times longer than a ponies tongue. "Yeah, it would probably get awkward, huh?"

Thankfully the rest of the night went on normal and uninterrupted, granted Dash and Pinkie disappeared into a back room at some point and caused some complaints about screaming and such. The night began to draw to a close Twilight and Telvanni said their goodbyes and headed out.

~~~~~~~

Aside from a run in with Berry Punch the walk home from Vinyl's club was a simple affair, though neither Telvanni nor Twilight seemed comfortable with something. It wasn't until they were just outside the library that both decided was a good time to ask a question.

"Hey Twilight-"
"Umm, Telvanni-"

Telvanni shook his head smiling at the fact that they both tried to talk. "You go ahead, I can wait."

Twilight paled slightly but forged ahead. "I was wondering, what did you actually think about that kiss Pinkie and Dash had. I mean would you ever do that with somepony else?"

"Are you meaning that you are worried I would kiss somebeast other than you? Or are you meaning that you are curious of performing such a kiss?" Telvanni probed, as Twilight had been terribly unspecific with her question.

"I'm meaning would...you..."
The rest of the sentence was cut off and Twilight and Telvanni leaned in together. It started out as any other kiss but within second Telvanni flicked his tongue forward against Twilight's lips causing her to shiver with anticipation. The mare opened her lips to allow Telvanni entrance while probing her own tongue forward feeling it rub along one to the Lycan's canines.
The pair stood there for what seemed like minutes and Twilight was in bliss. She had heard the term 'tongue down her throat' before but it had always been an exaggeration. With Telvanni though, his tongue occasionally strayed that far making Twilight moan in pleasure. The mare could feel a heat building between her legs. She was just about to lead Telvanni inside when...

"Yeah! There ya go egghead, that is how you kiss!"

"Damnit Rainbow!" Twilight yelled, magically hurling a clod of dirt at the pegasus who managed to wreck into some bushes drunkenly dodging the earthy projectile. With a huff Twilight stormed into her house slamming the door as soon as Telvanni was in.

"I take it you would have preferred to have been uninterrupted?" the Lycan laughed.

Twilight flushed and nuzzled into the Lycan' side. "Well, yeah. That was....amazing seems really poor for explaining how that felt but it’s all I can think of." The mare let her thoughts drift over how it felt to have Telvanni's tongue flit across her lips, rubbing against her own. She felt that same heat start back up between her legs. The thought of it alone set Twilight over the edge as she quivered in pleasurable memories next to her Lycan. Then Telvanni starting slightly at her side.

"Err...Twilight. You really did enjoy that kiss didn't you." Telvanni grinned, half embarrassedly half aroused.

The unicorn snapped out of the reverie and realized she had just left a rather nasty mess under her flank that made a puddle that Telvanni was partially sitting in.
"Oh Celestia I swear I didn't mean to, that's never even happened before from just thinking, I don't know what-Umph....mmmm."
Twilight broke off from her frantic embarrassed explanation as Telvanni's lips met against hers, the Lycan's tongue flicking against her lips. The unicorn shuddered as she forgot all her worries and fears.
As soon as they both pulled back for breath Twilight went out on a limb and did something she never would have attempted outside of her current euphoric high.
"You know Telv, I've got a really big bed, and you can be really cozy at night..."
She left the rest up to Telvanni's imagination as she headed up the stairs flicking her tail from side to side playfully.

*Whumpf whumpf whumpf whumpf*
Telvanni's tail thumping against the coach was a tell all. Without hesitation the Lycan stood up and padded upstairs after the mare.

~~~~~~~

In the words of any character from the Left4Dead games "Clop Here!"

Twilight shifted slightly trying to get out of bed without waking up Telvanni. Normally she would have loved to stay in bed but the sheets were definitely going to be in need of a cleaning and looking down at herself so did she. She winced as she brought her hindlegs under her and started trotting towards the doors. She was sore as all get out and felt like Applejack had bucked her in the flank.
'Mildly sore after your first time is to be expected with any stallion. That would explain why I want a pain killer right now.'
Twilight entered the bathroom and turned on the water, thinking about the previous night. It had been horrible starting off and Twilight almost wanted to stop right then and there, but she didn't want to disappoint Telvanni. After a time though it got better and Twilight realized that she would never regret what she did.
'Until I tried walking the next morning hahaha!'
Laughing at her own little joke Twilight climbed into the tub and started cleaning herself off.

Telvanni woke up just as Twilight was leaving the room. It didn't take a genius to figure out she was going to wash up. Used to cleaning with canteens of water the Lycan made his way to the kitchen where he cleaned himself(a considerably easier fest for the male as opposed to if he was a female) then went back up and gathered the sheets.
'These get washed twice, and then possibly burned, and then vapourized followed by a bath in some vitriol.'
Telvanni realized something important about the events last night and decided to go digging through the library.

Twilight had dried herself off quickly and ran a magical scan of herself. A number of strained muscles that would need a break and another good number of overworked muscles that would be better first were the worst of her 'injuries'. She opened the bathroom door and started downstairs limping slightly.

Telvanni looked up when he heard the bathroom door open and immediately noticed Twilight's limping. Hiding the book he had been reading the Lycan made his way to Twilight and lifted her up in his arms.
"Twilight, are you okay? I hope that mine actions from last night have not hurt you and am so sorry if they have."

The mare giggled at Telvanni's fretting over her and cuddled into him. "You were amazing last night. And yes in was a little unpleasant at first, but after that I wouldn't have traded the world for it. Right now though I could use some breakfast, a pain pill and to not walk anywhere for a bit. I... We strained and overworked a few muscles of mine last night. You are rather...larger than any pony could ever be."

Telvanni got the gist of what Twilight was talking about immediately. That was part of why they wound up being so careful. Thankfully though there was no dangerous damage and everybeast was fine.
"Alright, let's go get you some breakfast."

Telvanni smiled ear to ear as he carried Twilight down stairs. I guess that just means I'll be carrying you for the day. So, how do hay waffles sound?"

"Actually waffles sounds really good right about now. I didn't know you knew how to cook by the way." Twilight smiled.

"I don't, I just know how to make waffles because an old friend of mine, Chromatic Blur, was a pegasi and didn't eat meat like mineself Gasca, Beskeera, or Seven did. Come to think of it, Rainbow Dash seems to act a lot like Chromatic Blur did, and their names are way to similar to be a coincidence. They've got to be related." Telvanni laughed.

It was going to be a great day.

Rainbow Dash found herself waking up in a bush just below Twilight's bedroom window. She had a raging headache and couldn't remember everything from the previous night....well actually, she could remember one thing in particular.
An evil grin consumed Dash's face as she took off to find the girls.

Celestia was exploring the old castle that had once been her sister's home. Luna had thankfully given her full permission to stay there until she was feeling better. For the most part she'd done little but sleep and think but today she was going to the library. She wanted to know everything that had happened from the perspective of the other side. Perhaps it would shine light on a few things.

A dark shade watched the Alicorn. The darker Alicorn had been here days prior with two disgusting creatures that emanated love and happiness, but this new visitor? She was sad and worried....
The perfect combination.

A.N~ And that is my wonderful second chapter. In the next one, Twilight goes outside and explains 'falling down the stairs' to everypony who asks about the limp! Yeah most don’t buy it, it’s hard to when you’ve got moaning mares and howling hounds….

Well I hope everybeast is enjoying what I'm doing with this so far! Tell me what you all think!
