“Clonie, you don’t want to die a virgin, do you?” Sweetie Belle yelled at me.

“I don’t know.” I was still undecided about the dying part. As for my virginity, I haven’t even given it a thought before. I looked into a distance to ponder about it.

“I can’t let you pass on the opportunity like this. Where in Equestria would you find a lover like Zex can be?”

“Actually, You’d be surprised at how many of us are out there.” Zex smiled at Sweetie Belle.

I don’t really think that staying a virgin was so bad. “Maybe I’m not worthy of Zex,” I tried to explain my point so that I could go back to digging the hole.

“Exactly!” Sweetie Belle concluded.

“Wait, what?”

A hoof slid across my back and Zex’s head leaned in. “So, you ready for some more fun?”

I turned to Sweetie Belle, her look was blank and unresponsive. I tried to guess the right answer. “Yes?”

Sweetie Belle smiled at me. Yay, I guessed the right answer! Zex’s hoof slipped through my mane, across the back to my flank. Not the answer I was hoping for, though!

“We changelings aren't known just for the ability to change our bodies. The most versatility, actually, lies with our horns. I can imitate cones of all sizes and am even able to hide it entirely when posing as an Earth pony or Pegasus.”

The magic energies rose from his hooves, transforming all the black to white. Cutie mark of the sun drew itself on the white pony’s flank.

At the end of the transformation, I saw clenched teeth and swollen eyes. They shifted onto me, making me whimper under my breath.

She was scary. I tried to crawl back, but there was a tree behind me. Even a motionless wood seemed like a better company than that white, big pony. I turned around and embraced it with all four legs to anchor myself to the spot in case the Alicorn also wanted me to fly.

“What is this Clonie? You desire to raise yourself up? Hee-hee!” She stepped closer as I pressed my head tighter to the tree trunk. “I’ve been raising the sun every morning for over a thousand years! Raising a commoner like you will be easy. Just give yourself up to youthful Celestia!”

“I give up!” There’s no need for using force again!

“You are hereby banished from the ground!” A green aura engulfed my body and lifted me up, almost to the branches.

It pushed me against the trunk of a tree. I quickly grabbed onto it with all my legs, so that I wouldn’t fall off. The surrounding field disintegrated, forcing me to hold up all my weight.

My muscles hurt. It was obvious that we ponies weren’t made for tree climbing! A piece of bark fell off as my hind hoof slipped down.

“Careful now! You don’t want to fall down!”

“I can’t hold on!” I screamed, chopping off another slice of bark as I tried to secure my hind leg.

“I’ve helped my sister up to the moon, and she stayed there for a thousand years! You can’t just descent the moment you come up. That’s not how the banishment works!”

I gasped from the effort. My muscles hurt.

“Aren’t you proud, Clonie? You’re even above my level now. Higher than the self-acclaimed Princess of Equestria herself.”

“I don’t want to stay up!”

“Nonsense! When you reach the top, you secure it. You crush any opposition then shove the entire race into a thousand years of apathy and stagnation. Well, at least that is how I did it.”

Sweetie Belle called from her rock. “Zex, that’s not how Celestia would be acting at all. I think you’re losing your touch.”

The head of Celestia changed to Zex’s head. “I don’t care what your brainwashed opinion is, so get off my case. You know nothing of the old tyrant.”

“I know she isn’t as mean as you’re making her look.”

He continued with his changeling voice, “If you can’t get out of your narrow view, then see her as an alternate self. Imagine she’s like that when she’s horny if it helps you perceive her deviant-self better.” He turned back his head. “I know I am... My body is so damn tensed I can’t even fold my wings.”

“I don’t get it. She’s just as horny as I am, given that she only has one horn like I do.” She leaned her chin on the crystal and looked up.

I couldn’t press my legs against the tree hard enough to stay up. “Ugh!” I yelped when my hooves slipped a little. “Can you please put me down!”

After a flash of green light, I was greeted by Celestia’s wide opened eyes. “I see you lack ambition!” Her head rose. “Let me motivate you.”

A green light from behind me drew a shadow of me on a tree trunk before me.

“Hold still now.”

I felt the tip of her horn just below my tail, and I also heard a sizzling sound.

Whatever it was, I didn’t want to be a part of it, but when I tried to push my body higher, my hind leg slipped and I drifted even lower.

Tss! The sound below me intensified together with the increasing burn between my legs.

“Aw!” I used all my strength in my remaining, tree-hugging legs to push my lower body to the trunk, away from the burning horn. “It stings!”

“I regret nothing. Regardless, I will cool it down, per your request. Behold my vast benevolence.”

The horn touched me between both hind legs again. At least it isn’t hot anymore. It’s just warm. A bit cold, maybe. It’s freezing! “Ugh!”

With both forelegs, I pushed as hard as I could, scratching myself against the bark. I managed to lift up my flank just above the attacking horn. The cold aura emanating from its tip was still there, but it wasn’t hurting my pussy anymore.

“You spoiled ponies. You do not like it when it is hot, you complain when it is cold. Can’t you make up your belittled mind?”

“Can I please choose mild?” I begged.

“Ugh! A change of heart yet again. Complaining is all you simpletons know how to do.” The cold air below me dissipated. “You’re vocal only when it comes to your supposed rights, but when I mention your obligations to me, I’m only left with dead silence”

Just when I sighed with relief, I skidded down a little with all my hooves. I pushed my legs together as hard as I could and stopped my descent. I drifted down just a hoof length, but I clearly felt the horn slip in my pussy. When I wiggled around, the tip inside me prodded at the inner walls of my vagina. I couldn’t let myself drift any lower. I squeezed my buttocks, but that didn’t give me any support. The strain in my legs was unbearable. I couldn’t hold on anymore. “Take it out!”

“How dare you tell a princess what to do! And let’s not forget that my horn was here first. You chose to drop on top of it. I’m not moving from my position.”

I wanted to beg her, but I couldn’t speak through my clenched teeth. “Ugh!”

“You have to ask yourself, Clonie, is this really the way you want to lose your virginity? It is entirely up to you. You should note, however, that my horn is as large as you are. If you are hoping for a comfortable fit, you are surely setting yourself for a vast reality check.”

I pushed myself up, but my strength was almost gone. I pressed with all I had, but I felt my body lowering, and the horn slipped deeper within me. My pussy tightened around the bony cone, but it wouldn’t be able to prevent the spike from violating my insides if I were to drift lower. “Ugh!”

“If you fall down on my horn, it will be entirely your doing, Clonie! I am merely standing here, observing this interesting bark skin of the tree. But you’re free to do anything you want, just like everypony else under my rule.”

My legs failed me. Bark crumbled under my hooves as they slipped down. A searing pain emanated from my vagina.

Suddenly, the horn inside me turned floppy and flexible. The robust apandege ripped out in its entirely just before my head hit the ground.

“Aaa!” My vision blurred from the tears and the head impact. I put one foreleg on my pounding head and one on my throbbing pussy. “It hurts!”

“My bad.” She said with a changeling’s voice then shoved me on my back with a forehoof. “I may have reacted just a tiny bit late. It seems I’ll need to work on my reflexes.” Her wings errected outwards. She stared directly at me with her big eyes. A red droplet slipped down her horn from a red stain on the tip. It was my blood!

She leaned down, spreading my hind legs with her forehooves. “Pthu!” I felt the wetness of her spit on my skin. It was no longer covered with the tight fabric. A whole patch of it was melted away by her horn that had burned my skin. “Better now, my subject?” She asked with a royal voice as she stood up and smeared her spit around with a hoof.

“Aua!” Pressing on the burn just made it more painful.

She eyed her leg. There was a red stain on the hoof. She wiped it off against my belly.

“Hmm… A versatile horn!” Sweetie Belle yelled with such a force that the birds all around took flight from the treetops. “I get it now!”. We both looked at her. She put a hoof on her snout. “Oh… Um, never mind.” Her form lowered behind the crystal, yet the grin on her face remained.

Celestia raised both eyebrows as she looked at her and whispered. “That filly is crazy…” When she turned back to me, a red droplet fell from her horn to the ground. She looked up and saw the stain.

Big eyes pierced me as the loud voice boomed in my ears, “Clean it!” She lowered her horn. “Clean it this very instant!”

I slid a hoof across her horn while holding the other one on my sore pussy. It wasn’t hurting as much when I pressed on it. The blood stain grew bigger with every swab. As some of the blood stuck to my hoof, so did some of the bark and dirt from my hoof stick to the horn.

“Stop! You are making it even more dirty with your filthy hoof!”

I quickly removed my foreleg. There was nothing around me that I could use to clean it. I didn’t have any cloth on me.

Her clenched teeth approached. “Lick it!” She said without moving her lips.

“But it’s blood,” I whined. “And dirt.”

Her hoof pressed against my neck, forcing my tongue out. She cocked her head, and one of her big eyes came so close that it almost touched my eye.

“Lick!” she pronounced through her teeth. “It!”

Her horn slid across my opened snout spreading the taste of the blood over my tongue. I choked.

She stepped off my neck. “Clean it up!”

I bent both forelegs on my chest above me and slid my tongue across her horn, which she held before my mouth.

Part of the stain came off and onto my tongue when I licked but with the next few swipes, it just smeared more.

“You’re smudging it again... Swallow!”

“Buk…” I protested, trying to contain the blood just on my tongue.

“No buts! Swallow!” She pressed her hoof on my lower jaw closing it shut. “It’s your own damn mess!”

Shutting my eyes close, I tensed up—and swallowed.

“Stand properly! You are in the presence of the self-acclaimed Princess!”

I straightened up my posture.

“Want to know a secret? I’m technically a queen. But I’m sensitive about my age, so when I firmly secured my throne, I insisted that everypony refer to me as Princess. And everypony, indeed, chose to oblige me.

“There were some slips of the tongues, but those regretful ponies were very, very sorry for calling me a queen. And as gracious as I am, I forgave them after seeing them in the sorry state they found themselves in. There was no Progress Committee to hold me back anymore.”

I sat my plot on the ground, raising my eyebrows.

“But, of course, you know nothing about them. I had most of the evidence that portrayed their existence erased from the history books. Before the purge, they held even more power than I. The group consisted entirely of Alicorns.” She smiled at me when I looked up at her. “Yes, there used to be more Alicorns around. They helped me with ruling and writing the boring laws I didn’t want to be bothered with.

“The bills they came up with were not bad, per se, but the wording in them was such that they involved everypony—me included. I tried to reason with them to exclude me from the law since most of what I did was against it, but they failed to see my reasoning.

“I then expanded my argument by threatening to scorch every living thing in Equestria with the eternal day. They backed up a bit after that but secretly started to raise an uprising against me.

“They underestimated my spying network, though. All the new members for their cause, who they recruited, were permanently silenced overnight. So was half of the Progress Committee. The night of a thousand screams, I named it. Despite my efforts, quite a few members managed to escape after the word of my purge spread around. Killing Alicorns is not as easy for mere pony guards as you might think, and I could only do so much in that time frame.

“I tried to get the rest of them by using the sun to scorch everything outside the castle walls. However, my plan was foiled by Luna. My own sister chose to betray me after I spared her the faith I bestowed on the other members of Progress Committee. She escaped her captivity and eclipsed my searing orb with her moon. I got to the disloyal sibling of mine eventually, but by that time the rest of the Alicorns were far gone.

“After I banished Luna, I vilified her among the pony population. They all bought it like the sheep that they are.”

Zex’s voice interrupted the self-talking mare. “I’m sorry, but all this reminiscing is turning me off. The fate of Equestria should be in our hooves, but Sun Butt robbed us of our deserved destiny and the adoration we’re entitled to. She stole the progress for a millennium. If it weren’t for Luna’s sacrifice that enabled the rise of our community, she’d still be unchallenged. One day, her rule will end. The stagnant are destined to fall. We’ll see to it.”

A burst of emerald flames engulfed him as he began the transformation process back to his changeling self.

“Equestria would be a better place if the Elements of Harmony never came into existence. They played the main role in banishing the Princess of the Night for a thousand years. And it wasn’t just a person who was launched to the moon. The greatest loss was the potential she presented; hindered before we could make use of it. For you see, Luna’s sacrifice for the Progress Committee was even greater than she knew. In her mind, she’d always been inferior to her older sister, but the truth was the opposite. She was the only one in that generation who could change her size just by willing it. Her special feature was genetic in nature. Our strains would have been so much easier to surmount if she accompanied us when the first hive was established. With her womb at our disposal, we could evolve to our current level in half the time it had taken us.

Without the spreading of Luna’s genes, it took Progress Committee, before long to become changelings, half a millennium to progress to her level with our artificial selection program. Since then, we have transcended her shapeshifting abilities by far. Despite this, we still honor her sacrifice. Alas, she wouldn’t be accepted back in the hive even if it was her desire to join us. She’s part of the obsolete generation now. That’s what one gets for clinging on to immortality. No creature should stay stagnant for so long.”

“Poor Luna.” I started to think that I understood him.“Celestia seems really evil.”

“Shut up!” Zex kicked me with a hoof.

“Celestia is not evil, Clonie! You haven’t even seen the real Princess of the Sun. Next time you have something to say, you might try keeping your mouth shut, instead. You talk way too much!”

She was right. I clenched my teeth together so that I wouldn’t accidentally speak again.
