Reminiscing
2012...
Twilight began to stir in her bed and then sat up, rubbing her eyes. She looked at the clock. Eight-o-clock in the PM. She groaned and got up, heading over to her desk and sitting down. Letting out a sigh, she opened up a book and started reading. Then, There was a creaking sound behind her and she turned. Nothing. She turned back around and set her hoof on the table, looking at the "P"on the bottom.
"Please don't come back..." she whispered.
Twilight traced the "P" with her other hoof when suddenly her ears perked to the sound of a light creak.
"Twilight..." said a familiar voice.
The unicorn turned around and gasped.
Twilight awoke with beads of sweat running down her face. Panting heavily, she let out a deep sigh and climbs out of bed. Yawning and wiping sweat from her face, she made her way down the stairs towards the kitchen. As she entered the main library room, there was a knock on the front door.
Letting out a gasp, Twilight stopped moving. "U-Uh... Wh-Who is it?!"
"Quick Silver shipping. Got a Priority package delivery for A Miss Twilight Sparkle. Are you she?" a mare's voice called with a sleepy yawn.
Twilight cautiously trotted towards the door and slowly opened it a crack. "Uh... A-A package for me?" She asked, still very nervous.
Standing in the moonlight was a red pegasus mare with a black mane held up in a ponytail and baseball cap as she held up a small package, along with a clipboard and pen. "If you're Miss Sparkle, I'll need you to sign for it."
The purple unicorn stuck her head out, looking around before opening her door all the way. Levitating the pen to the paper, she quickly signed. "Okay, I signed it," she said quickly, stepping back into her home before closing the door halfway again.
The delivery mare smiled and passed the package through the crack in the door. "Thank you. And, have a nice night," she called, before trotting away with a tip of her hat.
Twi forced a smile before closing the door and heading to the circular table in the center of the room. Setting the package down, she used her magic to pull the wrapping off.
It was a brown book. Just a book. Picking it up, Twilight read the title and let out a gasp. It read; How To Be A Better Submissive: A Happy Master Makes A Happy Pet. It's cover depicted a mare with her muzzle buried between a male diamond dog's legs. He was pulling on a leash attached to the mare's collar with one paw and was petting her head with the other.
Letting out a gasp at the perverse book, she dropped it on the table. When it landed, the front cover flipped open, revealing a note with two words scribbled on it; Study up.
Letting out a whimper she turned the page, knowing right away who sent it. Out of fright of the idea that Psyche may find out about this, she started to read with a heavy blush. "O-Oh, boy..."
The first chapter alone had Twilight's entire face red with embarrassment. It detailed public shows of obedience and loyalty to one's master, ranging from sucking off or eating out said master on command with no regard for where or when, to letting them dress you as they please, be it skimpy, slutty, or anything else. It also talked about submitting to any and all use of toys or accessories such as plugs, vibrators, collars, and even gags and muzzles. All this was accompanied with high quality pictures of the diamond dog and mare from the cover showing themselves as examples in various public places.
Twilight looked away and took a deep breath. She was used to reading a lot of things but none of them were pornographic. Once she had calmed slightly and she felt her heart beat slow back down, she returned to the book and turned the page, reading some more.
After a while Twilight felt her eyes getting heavy and she let out a yawn. "I really hope... Psyche doesn't expect me to read this in... one night..." she said between yawns, before closing the book. "Plus, I'm not sure how much I can take..." She then turned and headed towards the stairs.
Setting the book on her bedside table, she climbed back in bed and shut out the light.
Twilight's dreamless sleep didn't last as she was awoken to her bathroom light suddenly spilling out from its open door. Letting out a sleepy whine, she covered her eyes. Slowly, the bathroom door opened fully as the delivery mare walked into the bedroom giggling as she watched Twilight.
The unicorn opened her eyes partially, letting out a yawn. When she saw the mare standing in her bathroom doorway, she went wide-eyed and sat up. "Wh... You?! What are you--" she began, trying to use her magic. To her unfortunate surprise, she couldn't.
The delivery mare stepped to the side as the griffin Twilight feared seeing again slowly walked out of the bathroom, looking fresh from the shower as a large towel hung around her neck.
"No use trying with that ring on your horn..." the griffin cooed.
Twilight let out a loud gasp. "Ps-Psyche! B-Back already?" She asked, scooting over in her bed to get a tad further from the griff.
"Of course I'm here," the griff said, tossing the towel aside. "I always get what's mine," Psyche smiled, slowly lowering herself and stalking towards the bed. Climbing up onto it, she stopped once she was over Twilight, claws on either side of the mare's head. She then leaned in and whispered, "And, as of a few hours ago, you are mine... In every way."
The mare whimpered as her ears dropped, afraid of what her captor would be doing to her.
Psyche chuckled. "After all, you signed yourself over to me as property," she cooed, pulling a sheet of paper from under her wing.
Looking at it, an icy pit formed in Twilight's belly. It was a contract of ownership over one 'Twilight Sparkle' and there, at the bottom, was Twilight's own signature of consent. The mare let out a gasp. "Wh-When did I sign..." she began, before looking over at the delivery mare, mouth agape.
Psyche followed her gaze as the mare gave a bow. "Yes. Wind Whip is one of my playthings. Just like you."
"You tricked me..." Twi said, before looking at Psyche. "That doesn't seem very fair..."
The griffin's head whipped around to look at Twilight again. "It's not my fault you didn't read the paper before signing it..." she cooed, before Twilight felt Psyche begin trailing a claw down her body.
Twilight squirmed a little as she let out a soft, cute grunt. "I-Is this really happening? O-Or is this just another nightmare?" She asked aloud, before closing her eyes.
"This is most defiantly real Twilight..." Psyche cooed as she got off Twilight. "Now, I assume you read my book in full... So, tell me, what safety word did I write for you in the back?"
Twilight went wide-eyed. "U-Uh... I-I couldn't... finish it before I... felt sleepy..." Twilight admitted. "I planned on finishing it... in the morning..."
Psyche let out a sigh. "That's very disappointing... Looks like you'll need to learn obedience."
The purple unicorn watched the griffin hold up a vibrator and butt plug, letting out a soft whimper.
8 Years Latèr, Present Day...
Pinkamena & May's House...
Pinkamena let out a yawn as she awoke in the early morning. It was a habit of hers back when she killed others and was one of the couple habits she didn't get did of. Looking over at May, who still lay asleep beside her, she smiled and leaned in, kissing the mare on the cheek. Getting out of bed, the pink mare stretched and trotted out of the bedroom.
Making her way down the hall to the kitchen, she passed by a picture on the kitchen counter. Stopping, she turned to look at it as a smile spread across her face. It was taken on her and May's wedding day showing the two of them kissing.
7 Years Ago...
Pinkamena & May's Wedding Ceremony...
Pinkamena stood at the doorway, overlooking the almost completely empty chairs. Aside from Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Celestia, Fern, Macy, and Kit Kat, the area was empty. The pink mare then eyed the end of the aisle and began trotting in place out of nervousness.
"Well, that's something I never thought I'd see," came a voice from behind her.
Turning around, Pinkamena saw Psyche and Twilight standing a few feet away. The purple unicorn seemed like she was relatively okay despite having been taken forcefully by the griffin. The griffin, herself, had a smirk on her face.
"Psyche and... Twilight?" The pink mare asked, taking a step towards them. "Uh... I can't... believe you're here," she said, surprised, trotting over to them. She looked at Twilight, who eyed her back. "Can she join the others?"
"Of course," Psyche said, receiving a smile from the unicorn. "Go sit down, pet."
Twilight nodded and trotted past the pink mare. "Yes, mistress."
Pinkamena watched her leave before looking at Psyche again. "You really did a number on her... She seems like she's alright with it..."
"Are you sympathizing?" The griff asked with a grin. "Wanna join her?"
The pink mare shook her head. "No... I'm not... that mare anymore."
"Shame," Psyche sighed, placing a talon on Pinkamena's chest. "You would've made a great partner."
Pinkamena smiled back. "Perhaps..." She then gently pushed the griff's talon away before lightly hugging her. "I'm still happy to see you."
Psyche chuckle and patted the mare's back. "Same. Ash wanted to come, but she had to stay behind. She spilled my wine and had to be punished."
Pinkie broke the hug and took a step back. "You're punishing her for... spilling wine?"
"It was good wine," Psyche replied with a chuckle. "Well, congrats on the wedding, Pinks. I'm just gonna say hi to Sun Butt," she cooed, patting Pinkamena on the side before heading outside and taking a seat next to an irritated-looking Celestia.
On a happier note, Twilight and her friends seemed really happy to see each other again. Smiling, Pinkie trotted over to the doorway just as Fern started walking towards her. The blue mare's smile became wider and wider the closer she got.
"You must be so excited," Fern said, giving the pink mare a hug.
Pinks hugged back. "I am, but... also quite nervous."
"Nervous?" Asked Fern, pulling away with a puzzled expression.
The pink mare nodded and let out a sigh. "I don't have the greatest past. I don't feel anywhere close to being a good wife, let alone a good mother."
Fern gave a light smile. "Do you love her?"
Pinkamena nodded quickly at this. "More than anything."
"Then, you're ready," Fern replied just as Macy trotted past them.
"I'll go see how May's doing," the yellow mare said as she headed down a hallway.
Fern gave her sister a smile before looking at Pinkamena once more. "You'll do fine."
Pinkie gave a light nod as a small smile formed on her lips. "Thank you, Fern."
Present Day...
Pinkamena let out a happy sigh when she heard someone come up beside her. "Morning," she said, eyeing May.
The red mare smiled and leaned in, kissing her on the lips. Pinks kissed back, the two holding it for a few seconds before parting.
"Thinking about our special day?" The red mare asked, picking up the picture with her magic to get a better look at it.
"About how nervous I was before the ceremony," Pinks admitted, leaning against May as they both looked at the picture.
"Do you remember the bachelorette parties Pale threw for us?" May asked, blushing with a light chuckle.
Pinkamena nodded. "I sure do..."
7 Years Ago...
May's Bachelorette Party
When Twilight arrived in the main room, she saw three slutty-looking guards and three very perverted-looking nurses. May, Fern, and Macy were also present, all eyeing Twilight as if she had something to do with this. She trotted up to the newcomers with a puzzled look. "Who are you?"
A blonde "guard" stepped up close to Twilight with a suggestive smile. "We are tonight's entertainment, sweet flanks," she said, holding up a set of fuzzy pink hoof cuffs. "Now, which one of you mares is getting hitched tomorrow?"
May slowly raised her hoof. "Um... Me..."
The three slutty guards started moving in on her. "Miss Pale asked us to make sure you're well taken care of... Right, girls?" The others nodded. May blushed and sat on the couch, watching the girls as the guard with the cuffs stepped in front of her. "Give me your hooves, missy. You're under arrest," she said in a seductive tone.
"Oh, gosh," said May, covering her mouth. "What did I..." She stopped and blushed when she realized this was fake. Letting out a nervous laugh, she held out her forelegs.
The guard quickly pulled her forehooves behind her back and cuffed them in place, all the while rubbing against May every chance she had, smiling seductively.
May blushed. "Oh, wow..."
The mare then slowly started stripping her fake armor off in a slow and perverted way as the others did the same, making a really dirty show of it.
Twilight sat in a nearby chair and watched as May's face reddened. As she sat down, a pink nurse slid into Twilight's lap.
"Ready for a check-up, sweetie?" She asked as she started pulling the top of her outfit open.
Twilight smiled and giggled. "Sure."
The nurse started giving Twilight a lap dance as the three guards had stripped of their armor, revealing black lacy panties and long stockings. One slid herself behind May and started caressing the mare's chest as the other two called the other two nurses over. "Ready for the real show?" The mare behind May asked, lips touching her ear.
The red mare shuddered and let out a soft moan. "Uh-huh," she said, nodding.
"So hot," Twilight said from the couch, watching the nurse dance on top of her.
Soon, the two guards and nurses moved until they were almost in May's lap. They then began grinding on each other as the mare behind May groped almost every inch of May's chest.
The red unicorn watched with half-lidded eyes, getting turned on... as was Twilight.
The nurse on Twilight smiled and leaned into her ear. "Miss Pale said to offer you a horn job. Interested?" She asked, licking Twilight's ear.
Twilight shuddered in arousal and nodded. "Oh, yes..."
The mare smiled and leaned up, wrapping her lips around Twilight's horn and skillfully bobbing up and down. The purple unicorn let out moans as she placed her hooves on the mare's hips. As she did, the mare started grinding their chests together.
Back on the couch, May got a big surprise as the two pink nurses pulled off their hats. With their manes down, they both looked like Pinkemena. Their guard partners were humping them from behind as if they were stallions forcing the Pinkie lookalikes to nearly put their heads in May's lap. May started to get wet as she let out a moan, watching.
"You liking this," the mare behind her cooed, sliding a hoof down her spine.
The nurse on Twilight's horn had started deepthroating it.
The purple unicorn moaned out more. "Oh, wow... I'm almost..."
May started getting more wet.
"I bet you wish you weren't cuffed right now," the mare behind May cooed as the Pinkie doubles started kissing May's hips as they were humped, all four moaning.
Twilight's nurse had been skillfully lapping every inch of the purple mare's horn as she now curled her tongue around it and sucked. Twi gasped loudly as she blew her raw magic load into the stripper's mouth, harmless sparks shooting everywhere.
The mare gasped but then looked into Twilight's eyes, her own glowing with Twilight's magic as she snaked a hoof to the purple mare's nethers. "Master..." she cooed, as she started rubbing Twilight's marehood.
Twilight moaned and giggled, realizing what happened. She then leaned in. "Kiss me, hot stuff." The stripper nodded and leaned in, pressing her lips to the unicorn's. The purple unicorn put a foreleg around the stripper and slid her other hoof to the stripper's marehood. "Mmm..." she moaned into the kiss.
May kept getting wetter and wetter as she watched and felt the kisses on her hips.
The mare behind May started groping her crotch teats. "Bet you really wish I'd un-cuff you, don't you?" She asked, as the pink mare's kisses got a little further up on May's legs.
May nodded. "Uh-huh..."
"Well, you're not getting off till your honeymoon, sweetie," the mare cooed, nibbling on May's ear.
Twilight's now-completely obedient stripper moaned into Twilight's mouth as she picked up her clopping speed.
The unicorn moaned more, feeling close to release but not quite there yet.
The mares in May's lap began kissing further up her leg. The red mare shuddered and moaned, watching them. Her entire inner thigh area was soaked in her juices.
Suddenly, they pulled away, smiling deviously. "Oh, looks like somepony's on the edge... Let's let her cool off, then take it from the top," the mare behind May said as the other mares backed off, leaving May wet and with no way of satisfying her needs.
The red mare squirmed uncomfortably, on the edge of bursting.
"Aww, is some pony hot and bothered?" The mare behind May cooed as the others giggled.
The red unicorn nodded. "Uh-huh..."
"Well, we'll let you cool off and start again when you're off the edge," the mare cooed with an evil smirk.
May let out an uncomfortable moan.
"Pale set this up just for you and your wife. It's called the Couple's Special. It will make the honeymoon so much better."
"I-If you s-say s-so..." moaned May.
The mare set her head on top of May's, being sure not to touch her horn. "Heh... We'll do this to you for the next four hours, then leave ya cuffed for the night so you're not tempted to tend to your needs. We'll leave the cuff keys with your friend over there," she said, further explaining what Pale had set up for both her and Pinkamena.
May nodded. "O-Okay..."
The rest of the night went on in much the same manner until May finally passed out from exhaustion.
Present Day...
Pinkamena and May both let out a happy sigh as May set the picture down.
"They were right," May said with a smile, playfully bumping her mate. "It did make our first time that much better."
Pinks nodded with a light chuckle. "Mmm... Sure did..."
"I'll go wake up the little one now," May said, starting to trot towards their daughter's room.
"No, I... I'll wake her," Pinkamena said suddenly, turning to face May.
The red unicorn looked back at her with a light smile. "Alright. I'll start breakfast." With that, she gave Pinkamena a light tap on the side before heading back to the kitchen.
Celestia's Bedchambers...
Celestia woke up with a light sigh, sitting up and looking at the balcony door. Getting out of bed, she slowly trotted over and ended the doors, stepping out. Looking down across the land, she could see Ponyville in the distance.
“Eight years, Twilight,” the princess said in a sad tone. “6 years, 12 days, and 5 hours.”
As she looked out at the small town, she tried thinking about her last moment with the purple mare. Instead, she couldn’t help but think back to her last encounter with Psyche.
7 Years Ago...
Pinkamena & May's Wedding Ceremony...
Celestia was sitting on a bench in Manehattan's Town Hall. She was peacefully enjoying watching the other ponies mingle before Psyche plopped down next to her, laying a claw over her shoulder. "Well, lookie here. It's Bright Flanks," she said, smiling at the princess.
"Psyche," Celestia said through her teeth, eyeing the griffon. "Never a pleasure."
"Awww, not happy to see me?" The griffin asked in a mockingly innocent tone.
"To what do I owe the displeasure of your visit?" The princess asked, ignoring the question but making the answer quite plain.
"Well, I'm here for the wedding. Had to let little Twi come after how good she's been. She quite a fast leaner," Psyche cooed, leaning her head on Celestia.
"I swear, Psyche, if you hurt her..."
"Hurt her? Oh, no no no, my dear Sun Butt. I wouldn't hurt Twi. She's far too important to me, and she's had quite a... pleasurable time so far with her slaves," Psyche cooed, whispering the last bit into the princesses ear.
Celestia gasped and then glared at the griffin. "You disgust me. The only reason I have not sent the Royal Guard after you is because I need you."
"Oh, Bright Flanks, I had know idea you felt that way," Psyche mocked.
"That is not what I meant."
"I know. I'm just having some fun. Not as much fun as Twilight had with me, though."
Celestia went wide-eyed and stared at the griffin. "You didn't."
"Oh, it gets better. She turned me male for it, too," Psyche said.
The princess now looked extremely pissed."Consider yourself lucky I need you."
"Hey, don't blame me for what she begged for," Psyche said, standing up. "And, it's not like I popped her cherry... Well, not yet, at least."
Celestia put a hoof to her forehead. "Twilight's a grown mare. She's old enough to do what she wants. But the thought of her with you..."
"Oh, that will be least of your worries when I'm done with her," Psyche called as she left the princess.
Present Day, Celestia's Bedchambers...
The princess let out a an angry sigh. "She better be okay, Psyche..."
Psyche's Castle...
Twilight opened her eyes with a soft yawn. Blinking a few times, she regained her vision and smiled. Laying beside her was a still-asleep Psyche. Being careful so as not to wake the griff, Twilight gave her a gentle a kiss on the beak before sliding out of bed.
Stretching, she moved to the foot of the bed where a sleepy Ash lay. Leaning in, Twilight gave her a kiss on the cheek.
Afterwards, Twilight made her way into the bathroom to start a shower. Once the water was warm enough, she stepped in with a happy sigh. Then, an image of her friends popped into her head. The last time she saw them.
7 Years Ago...
Pinkamena & May's Wedding Ceremony...
Pinkamena and May kissed and smiled at each other. "I love you," the red unicorn said.
Pinks smiled. "I love you, too."
They then trotted down the aisle, and back towards the exit.
Sitting on a bench outside the town hall entrance was Psyche. "Congrats, you two," she called, clapping.
Pinkamena smiled. "Thanks, Psyche."
May looked at Pinkamena and then at the griffon. "So, you're Psyche."
"That's right, Ms. Pie," the griff cooed.
"You're the one that took Twilight," May said plainly. "Why?"
Psyche smiled deviously. "Because I own her"
"You own her?" asked May. "One doesn't own another. That's--"
"Slavery?" asked Pinkamena. "That's Psyche."
"And, that's Badlands law," the griffin explained. "It's one of the reasons most ponies don't like going there."
"And you're okay with this?" May asked, looking at Pinkamena.
The pink mare let out a sigh. "It's not that I'm okay with this, sweetie. It's just there's nothing we can do about it."
"Yep. Well, unless you'd like to buy her..." Psyche said, a smile forming on her lips.
Pinks eyed her. "And how much would that cost?"
"Hmmm... Well, she would have to be a package deal... So, you would have to buy her pet, maid, and slaves. Them alone would put it in the rough millions. And Twi, herself... Let's just say even Celestia herself can't buy that filly from me."
"So, in other words, she's yours forever?" May asked sadly.
"Yes, though the way she's going, I don't think she'll even want to leave me soon," Psyche cooed with a smile.
May let out a sigh, feeling arguing was useless. "Is she... at least... happy?"
"Oh, I believe she's more than happy," Psyche chuckled.
May nodded. "I guess if she's happy, then... I can stop worrying..."
Psyche smiled and nodded.
Twilight left the town hall with her pet, slaves, and maid. "Congratulations," she said, hugging Pinkamena and then May.
"Thanks, Twilight," Pinkamena said with a smile. "Glad you could make it."
"Same here," said May, smiling as well.
Psyche smiled as two chariots landed. "Alright, Twi. Our rides are here." She then wrapped a claw around Twilight. "The left one's for me and you. The right's for your girls. Now, every pony with me, get in," she called, as Misty, Ash, Blue, and Pale got in their chariot.
Psyche led Twilight to theirs as Twilight waved bye. May and Pinks did the same. The purple unicorn didn't seem to worried which made May feel better. As Twilight stepped into the chariot after Psyche, she saw her other five friends run out of the town hall.
"Come back soon!" Rarity called as Psyche reached over Twilight and closed the door.
Twilight looked out the window at them and smiled, waving bye.
Present Day, Psyche's Castle...
Twilight let the water wash over her as she thought of her friends. Sitting down, she wondered when she'd see them again. She was pulled back to reality when she felt a feathery body press against her back as a talon rubbed the base of her neck. Smiling, Twilight tilted her head back, a beak gently nuzzling her muzzle.
"Good morning, master," Twilight cooed lovingly.
Psyche crouched down beside the mare with a smirk. "Mornin', babe," she replied, leaning in and kissing the mare on the lips.
Twilight smiled and kissed back, feeling the griffin's tongue playing with her own. When the two parted, Twilight nuzzle the blue griff again. "I love you."
Psyche chuckled and nuzzled back. "Love ya, too."
Twilight left the shower and used her magic to dry herself off. Sighing happily, she looked back and watched Psyche step out. "I think I'll check on those new slaves."
When the griffin was fully out, Twilight used her magic to dry her off, too. "And, I have some training to do."
The mare smiled at her lover and turned around, flicking her tail to the side as she trotted out of the bathroom. Psyche stared at her pony puss as she left, chuckling. In one quick movement, the griff sped forward towards the unicorn and grabbed her tail. Pulling her close, she slipped one left talon inside the mare while she used her right talons to rub the mare's neck.
"I'm supposed to be the tease, babe," Psyche cooed.
Twilight moaned and tilted her head back. "I know. I was hoping you'd do this..."
Psyche leaned in and kissed her deeply as she sped up her movements. It isn't long before she felt pony juices hit her fur. "Mmm..." she moaned, before breaking the kiss. "I expect you to give back ten times as much tonight."
Twilight panted softly and let out a brief laugh. "Oh, you don't have to worry about that," she huffed, walking away while dripping on the floor. "I'll rock your world." As she past the bed, she patted Ash on the side and left the room.
Psyche watched her leave with a chuckle. "You already have, Twilight."
The second Twilight left the room, she was greeted by Void. "Mistress," she said with a concerned look. "There's a... problem with one of the new arrivals."
"Problem?" Twilight asked, making her way down the hall with the black mare following beside her. "What sort of problem?"
"Well..." Void started. "It'll be easier if I showed you."
Twilight chuckled a little. "Guess it's a good thing I was on my way down there, anyways."
As they trotted along, Void kept her gaze forward. "So... if I may ask, mistress... how is it? Being married to Psyche, I mean?"
Twilight eyed her with a smile before looking ahead again. "Never be afraid to ask me anything, Void. Things are different now."
"I understand," the black mare replied politely. "Guess I'm still used to the old way."
"It's alright," the unicorn reassured. "We're all still adjusting. After all, it's only been a year since we got married."
3 Years Ago...
Twilight entered her bedroom to find Psyche laying on her bed, her left wing messy and bent at an awkward angle. "How are you... feeling?"
The griffin eyed her before resting her head on the bed. "You mean, after your rebels shot me out of the sky? Oh, I'm just fuckin' peachy, thanks."
The unicorn's ears drooped slightly like a scared cat as she slowly approached the bed. "I didn't want to hurt you, but... I had no choice. We couldn't let you escape and hurt anyone else." The griffin kept silent. "I just want you to know that... you really did grow on me after all these years. Aside from the beatings and the whippings... it's been fun."
When the griffin didn't say anything, Twilight turned and headed for the door. Before leaving, she took one last look back at Psyche. Realizing that she was probably gonna get the silent treatment for a while, she left the room and closed the door. Turning around, she saw her pets (Ash Brew, a gray earth pony; Pale Light, a white unicorn; Blue Bell, a blue earth pony; and Misty Days, a green pegasus) and the castle's scientist, Void, a black unicorn. Others present included Psyche's maids along with Wind Whip, the castle's flogger.
"What's the next step?" Void asked. "What do we do now?"
Twilight thought for a moment as she looked around at the crowd. "We keep what we're doing. The pay is good, after all, and this place needs to be kept up. We rebuild... readjust. Only target those who have committed crimes to be slaves, reconditioned as pets. Any innocents will be left alone. Any innocents we currently have will be released. Any of you who wish to leave may do so."
Void looked around at the pets and maids. "We've all been conditioned by Psyche for years. I doubt we could function in a normal society."
"Besides, I wouldn't mind working for a mare like you," a random maid called out.
Wind Whip looked over at her with a breathy chuckle as she leaned against the wall. "And, I wouldn't be against flogging slaves for you... mistress Twilight."
"What about Psyche?" Another maid called out.
Twilight looked at the faces of the crowd, all seemingly curious to what their new master's answer would be. "Psyche..." she announced at a volume that, unbeknownst to her, Psyche could hear through the door. "shall remain here. Once she's healed up, I'll work with her. Hopefully, get her to see things differently. I could really use her help around here."
"Is that really the best thing to do?" Misty asked. "After what she's done?"
"Psyche is not to be harmed, period," Twilight said sternly. "This has been her home for years, and I'd like it to remain her home. And mine. And yours. Now, Windy?" She said, looking at Wind Whip. "Are you on board?"
The flogger shrugged. "Whatever you want, mistress. As long as I get to whip some bitches."
"Good," the unicorn replied. "If anyone, besides me, tries to enter the room... 50 lashes."
Wind chuckled with an evil grin. "You got it, mistress."
There were a couple murmurs amongst the group as Twilight took a step forward. "This isn't because I don't trust you or because I enjoy hurting you. Most of you probably want her dead, and I don't blame you or hold it against you. Wind Whip is just a precaution because I don't want any more harm to come to Psyche. Am I understood?" She looked out at the crowd to see a bunch of hesitant nods. "Good. Now, I'll be in Psyche's, uh... I'll be in my room," she said as she turned and headed towards the room that was once the griffin's.
"You were very protective of her," Void said with a light smile.
Twilight chuckled and nodded. "I took a big risk with her. I just correctly assumed that no one's ever been nice to her."
Now, it was Void's turn to chuckle. "Who could be nice to some griff like that?"
The unicorn smiled. "If it wasn't for you and all of the others in this castle, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to show her kindness. You all deserve as much credit as I do."
"Always the humble one," Void teased as they neared the cells.
Twilight playfully bumped her with a soft laugh. "Now, where's the troublemaker?"
"Down here," Void said as she led her mistress past a row of cells before stopping at the last one. "This one was captured yesterday. Rather easily, I might add."
Twilight approached the cell door. Inside was a brown stallion sitting in the corner, his hoof moving along the wall as if he were drawing something. "Hello?" Twilight called, tapping the bars with her hoof. "You causin' problems, pet?"
The stallion slid his hoof off the wall and looked back at her, his mouth stained with blood and a crazed look in his eye. Before Twilight could react, he charged the wall to his right with such force that blood splattered the wall.
"What the shit?!" Twiligh exclaimed, quickly grabbing the cell key hanging up on the wall. There was a few more crack sounds as the stallion continuously rammed his head into the wall. The last one made a wet snap sound before he fell limp. Twilight finally unlocked the door and ran in, letting out a deep sigh. "What the hell just happened?" She asked, staring at the corpse.
"I'd say he chose death over a life as a pet, but... look," Void said, pointing at the corner of the cell where the once-alive stallion was seated.
Twilight looked at the mare, then at the corner, letting out a soft gasp. Written in blood was VALA'S COMING. "What... the hell?"
"Who's Vala?" Asked the black mare, just as confused as the purple one.
The unicorn shook her head. "I have no idea. Where was he captured?"
"U-Uh..." Void stammered, before grabbing the clipboard hanging on the wall. "Um... Hollow Shades."
Twilight's heart skipped a beat. "Hollow Shades? Just outside Manehattan?"
Void nodded, not that Twilight could see. "Yes, mistress. Isn't that where..."
"Pinkamena and May now live." Twilight finished, turning around and leaving the cell. "Why is Pinkie always involved?"
"Are you going to Manehattan?" The black mare asked as she quickly hung up the clipboard and followed the unicorn.
"I need to research this Vala first," Twilight replied, making her way back up the stairs. "I'll have to send some pony to Manehattan to warn Pinkie and May. Make sure they're on their guard."
"What shall I do, mistress?" Void asked.
"Just go about your normal duties," Twilight told her. "I need to go inform my other half about the situation."
Psyche was currently paddling the flanks of one of the new pets in training. Her gaze went to the door when she spotted her wife entering. The room smelled of sex as many an orgasm happened here. The mare being paddled shrieked with each SMACK, either out of pain or pleasure. It was unclear.
"How goes the training?" Twilight asked as she approached the griffin.
Psyche whacked the mare's ass again and shrugged. "Dunno. Can't tell if she's in pain or if she likes it."
Twilight let out a brief chuckle. "Hey, uh... something happened."
Psyche managed to get one more SMACK in before her ears twitched. "Something happened?"
The purple mare nodded. "One of the newest pets, the one from Hollow Shades... killed himself."
"And?" The griffin asked, giving another hard SMACK. "I've had a lot of slaves kill themselves. What's so special about this one?"
"He scrawled a name on the wall in his own blood," Twilight exclaimed. "Vala. Chewed the flesh off his foreleg to do it, too."
Psyche stopped what she was doing and froze for a second. "Vala," she repeated. "I've heard that name before..." She then looked at Twilight. "You're a book nerd. In the library, there's a book about famous cultists from the past. I think I saw the name in there."
"A cultist?" Twilight asked, getting more nervous. "Or a cult? Either way, this... is bad."
"Wait, Hollow Shades," Psyche said in thought as she dropped the paddle and proceeded to finger the pet mare's winking pussy. "That's near Manehattan. And, you think that..."
"Pinkie's involved, yes," Twilight confirmed.
Psyche felt a splash of sweet-smelling juices on her leg before she pulled her wet talon free. "We can't let anything happen to her. I love that pink bitch."
Twilight smiled as she watched the pet collapsed in a panting mess. "I love her, too. Though, she isn't a bitch anymore," she said, before turning and trotting away.
Psyche watched her leave before looking down at the mare. "You fucking slut."
