Welcome Home

Another full moon rests over Equestria, yet the somewhat excited chatter about the palace has yet to die down. You managed to catch snippets here and there along the trek to your destination. Apparently Princess Celestia's sister, Luna has returned from her thousand-year banishment, freed from her persona as Nightmare Moon. You can't help but smile and chuckle - albeit silently- realizing that was the reason Celestia was prancing about like an excited filly.

Stopping at a mirror, you spare a quick moment to be sure you're presentable.

Or as presentable as a human in a world of anthro ponies can be, at least. A slightly thin face with a dusting of chin stubble, a nose with a crooked bridge that looks like it'd been broken at least once, pale grey eyes, and a mop of barely tamed black hair greets you as you adjust the loose-fitting robe you normally wear. And do your best to pat your hair down some; despite the times you've been told it suits you, you still feel like you've just gotten out of bed. Shoulders slumping comically in defeat, much to the amusement of the nearby guard, you move to straighten out the last, and sometimes, the most important piece of your attire.

A collar of soft, elaborately embroidered leather around your neck. In the mirror, you make sure the clasp, a lock attached to both ends of the leather and shielded by a platinum cap with the royal seal of Canterlot engraved on it. The Item signifying you as the Royal Concubine.

Looking at it, your mind drifts back to when you first arrived in Equestria...

You grit your teeth, the impact knocking the wind out of you,. You feel grass and dirt at your back, and notice blue sky above. Slowly getting to your knees, you look around still trying to figure out what'd happened, or how you even got there to begin with. Unfortunately, aside from a memory of falling, your mind's little more than a fog at the moment.

"Oh my. Who, or what, are you?" A voice causes you to look back, and what you see causes you to scramble back. Standing there, dressed in what looks like royal raiment, is a six-foot tall, white-colored humanoid pony. You have no clue who they are, but the curves show this is definitely female. A foot-long unicorn horn protruded from her forehead and two large feathery wings on her back.

"It's ok." She says, holding her hands up. "I'm not going to hurt you...uh..." She looked away, blushing a bit. "Um, you may..."
She points slightly at you.

You give her a confused look before noticing the draft. A glance down has you realizing why and you cover yourself as fast as possible.

"Heh, here, let me." A gold-colored light shines from her horn, and a robe materializes on you, allowing you some modesty. "Well, I guess introductions are in order."

Hoping she understands, you point to your throat and shake your head to try and indicate you're mute.

"I'm sorry, I don't....oh. I see. " She steps closer. "Did you get injured?"

It took a moment of badly performed charades to tell her you are mute. Your vocal chords never really developed, so while you can hear fine, you can't make a sound. She introduced herself as Princess Celestia of Equestria, the country you found yourself in. You didn't know the reason why she did, but after figuring out you were pretty much lost in a strange new world, she made the choice to take you in. Another round of bad charades was enough to tell her you were human. Unfortunately, she had no idea what that was, and given her saying that she'd been ruling Equestria for the last thousand years, that meant humans didn't exist here.

And of course, wherever royalty was, there were nobles. And, like nobles, there were some who got their panties in a bunch over her doing that. You didn't really catch all that was said, but enough of their comments about you were pretty damn rude. They thought they could bully her into doing what they said, which managed to anger her enough to have them tossed in a cell for a day or two. The rest, if they had any objections, kept them to themselves.

The next few months were an educational experience for you. Celestia spent a lot of her free moments teaching you about the region, the cities, and some of their holidays, which were bizarrely similar to the ones back home. The only downside was that even though you could understand them perfectly fine verbally, their writing was completely incomprehensible to you. That and what methods they did have to allow speech wouldn't work due to them needing to be applied within a certain time. And having recently hit Twenty, that made the subject moot.

That meant telling them your name was a no-go. So, she went with using the moniker 'Hue', since using 'human' all the time felt rude. During those months, you both gradually began to develop a friendship between each other. You weren't much of a conversationalist anyway, but you did throw in the occasional gesture that she figured out how to interpret.

She grew comfortable around you enough to confide things she never uttered to another soul, even her student, a young unicorn mare named Twilight Sparkle. After all, who could you tell, and you can't write in Equestrian.

She'd told you things like how, despite what most of Equestria thought, she hadn't had any in over eight hundred years. Mostly thanks to the more fanatical subjects trying to treat her like an ethereal being. That, or how she'd gotten bored with masturbating two hundred years ago. As well as how she cried herself to sleep for week after she was forced to banish her sister, Luna. Along with when she punched a mirror in anger, screaming at herself for not trying harder to help her. She even pulled back the fur on her hand to show you the scars.

One of her darker moments was a century or two after the banishing. She'd hit a major point of depression and decided to see just how true the supposed 'immortal constitution' of an alicorn was, partaking in numerous, and rather poisonous, substances. At worst, she ended up sick to her stomach multiple times. Figuratively as well as literally.

It was after accounts like that when she asked if you would spend the night with her, since she didnt really want to be alone then. Though you couldn't verbally comment it, she was a cuddler when she slept, making sure she stayed snuggled up beside you the whole night. To the point where she didn't really want to get up in the morning.

However, this growing familiarity had its awkward moments. You'd lost count of when one of you would accidentally walk in when the other was in a state of undress, or bathing. Despite the embarrassing atmosphere, of course, it was easy to see she was quite attractive. Whether or not she felt the same...you had no idea.

....until she challenged you to a game of strip poker. You were hesitant, but thought it couldn't be TOO bad. It was during that that you learned you have absolutely no poker face...and you're still convinced she let you win that first hand. When she laid down her winning hand...

You hang your head when she smirks and slaps down a flush, soundly beating your three of a kind. "Sorry, Huey." She chirps, slowly getting to her hooves. Despite the thorough demolishing you recieved, the sight of a topless Celestia definitely helps. Her plump, pumpkin-sized breasts bounce gently as she walks over to you, the soft pink nipples already standing out proudly.

You can't help gulping a little, hoping the table hides your reaction enough. The time you two have spent together managed to get you accustomed to seeing each other in varying states of undress; fully naked though...

Your eyes widen when she uses her magic to move the table away and you move to try and cover your erection. Her magic, though, catches your hands. You look at her with no small amount of shock, hoping she gets the unspoken question of "the hell?"

"My apologies, Hue, but I wanted to make the stakes a surprise." With a gentle tug, she undoes the tie keeping her skirt on, letting it flutter to the ground and presenting you with a full view of her naked body. You're eyes move on their own as you take in her generous hips, long, supple legs, and the already glistening mound nestle between her thighs. You'd seen porn before, but it's a different thing when a naked woman is right in front of you.

You do your best to raise an eyebrow, hoping she gets the question. She responds by straddling you. "The winner gets the loser." She purrs, her lips making contact with yours.

You shake your head, forcing yourself back to the present. Sadly, you can't dwell on that right now, you have other matters to attend to. Especially since you've arrived at your destination; the Princess's private chambers. You quickly give the elaborate knock that tells Celestia it's you.

"Come in, Hue." You hear her call out. Without a second thought, you turn the knob and step in.
