The Dream World...

A dark blue mist hovered above a vast dreamscape. When the world around it becomes known, the blue cloud begins surveying the land. It was currently in a large field with a couple trees here and there and a peaceful blue sky. It quickly spotted a figure walking through the grass. It appeared to move at a somewhat slow pace. As the entity tried to figure out what it saw, it soon began to understand as it somehow gained knowledge about things it has never seen or heard of before.

This new knowledge told the mist that that it was called Tantabus and that the being it saw was a mare walking on two legs. Specifically, an alicorn due to its horn and wings. Flying closer for a better look, it soon had the knowledge of what this mare's deepest fears are and felt compelled to act upon it. It felt like it had control of this world, yet it didn't know why.

As it thought hard about what frightened the alicorn most, the world began to change. The lush field became a bloody battleground with corpses laying everywhere. The sky turned a blood red and the alicorn now wore black armor. The mare then dropped to her knees and screamed in agony. The Tantabus found joy in this. Like this is what it was meant to do. As the mare screamed, the world began to fade away. The mare was waking up. When the world faded into darkness, the Tantabus was left alone.

Floating in a vast nothingness, it waited. For how long, it didn't know. Was this its life now? To wait and scare a mare while she dreamed? What was it to do in the meantime? Hover in darkness, alone, just waiting? There had to be more to its existence than this. As it stayed in place, it continued to ponder.

After what felt like forever, the dreamscape lit up again. This time, the Tantabus found itself outside a shack. Slowly moving towards the window, it saw the mare again. Only, she wasn't alone. She was with what appeared to be a stallion. The mare was also without her outer layers, same with the stallion. Its brain told it that they were naked. Probably having sex.

The blue alicorn was on top and her hips moved up and down. The lighting in the room accentuated the mare’s butt, almost making it mesmerizing. The Tantabus forgot what it was meant to do as it watched. When it snapped out of it, it touched the side of the shack.

The alicorn let out a startled yelp as the stallion she was riding turned into a bloody puddle. Splashing down in it with wide-eyes, the mare quickly rolled off the bed and backed up against a wall. Her eyes soon focused on the window the Tantabus was at. When their gaze met, the world began fading again. Another short job done.

The Tantabus decided it was time it got some answers. When the alicorn returned, it would demand to know why it existed in the first place.

The next time the world lit up, the Tantabus found itself in a tavern. The alicorn was seated at a table, talking with a stallion. When she saw the blue mist, the mist stared back at her.

After a few moments of nothing terrifying happening, the mare seemed to become confused as she looked over at the Tantabus again. Getting up from the table, she slowly approached the entity.

“Um...” she said, sounding nervous. “Is something wrong? Why aren’t you...” She trailed off when a hole formed in the blue mist in the shape of a question mark. “Question?” The mare asked. “Interesting... You are more sentient than I expected you would be... I suppose I can tell you my name is Luna and I created you to give me nightmares each and every night. I need you to do your worst to punish me for the evil I caused in the past.”

The Tantabus hesitated in thought, not doing anything.

“I guess this is it,” Luna said suddenly. “I shall leave you to think this over. Next time, however, I ask you give me a... horrible nightmare...”

The Tantabus hesitated some more before it started to move away. Luna let out a sigh before the world faded into darkness again.

Many Nights Later...

The Tantabus hovered in place and watched as Luna choked on blood as she splashed around in a pool of the red liquid. The fear and pain in her eyes filled the Tantabus with a sense of a job well done. She asked for something horrifying, and she got it. The best part was that the blood in the pool belonged to the mare before she lost her legs. Soon, the world faded again.

The Tantabus floated away to a different patch of nothingness and made a bed appear. Something told it that this is what ponies sleep on. Ponies like the alicorn it terrifies every night. Lowering itself to the bed, it found that it couldn't even feel the softness. Even though the mare's guilt had given the Tantabus more control over itself and the Dream World, it still didn't seem to have feeling.

As it sat on the bed, it thought back to when it watched Luna having sex with that stallion. The look on her face. Was it happiness? Was that what happiness looked like? Perhaps it could use Luna's next nightmare to learn more about ponies. Concentrating and thinking about the stallion, the mist began to change shape. It's ethereal-like form began to the shape of a naked stallion; arms, legs, head, mane, body, and a flaccid meat pole. Once the body was formed, the color changed to match.

Now, the Tantabus appeared to be just a normal, brown stallion with green eyes. Laying on the bed, the Tantabus looked over its hands, flexing the fingers. Looking down at the feet, it wiggled its toes before its eyes went to the cock. Reaching out and gripping it, the Tantabus stroked it lightly. It felt nothing. Was it supposed to? It then moved its fingers to its lips. It knew it had to learn to speak before it approached the mare. Thinking back to when Luna approached it, it made its lips form the words, Is something wrong. It then attempted to push words out in the mare's voice.

"I... I-Isssss..." the Tantabus said. "I-Iss... Is ssss..." It rolled over onto its chest, propping its upper half up on its arms and looking down at the pillow as if it were Luna's face. "Is something... wrong?" It asked. "Is something wrong?" It repeated. "Next time... Time... I shall leave you to think this over..." The fake stallion tilted its head and tried to come up with its own sentence. "Time to... play..." it cooed at the pillow. Knowing it would need a different voice, it started to lower its own pitch and tone. "Time to play... Time to play..." It repeated, its voice becoming deeper and more masculine.

Smiling, it rolled onto its back again and remembered Luna moving up and down on the stallion's lap. It eyed its rod and imagined Luna. To its joy, a fake version of the alicorn appeared, bouncing up and down on its lap. The Tantabus moved its hand to its cock and pushed the tip into the Luna, the mare continuing to ride the meat, her pussy spread open. The Tantabus continued laying on its back watching the breasts bounce. Letting out an exhale of breath known as sighing, the Tantabus made the Luna vanish.

The Next Night...

Luna was back at the tavern with the Tantabus sitting at a table in its stallion disguise. It had changed its color to a dark red to hide similarities. Right now, it watched the alicorn mingle with a couple of the male customers. Every now and then, she looked around the area, probably trying to find the entity she created.

The Tantabus hesitated before making one of the stallions start to seduce the alicorn. He leaned in to kiss her cheek, receiving a delighted reaction from the mare before she leaned in and kissed him on the lips. Soon, all customers in the tavern who weren't male vanished. The Tantabus figured that this mare had control of the Dream World if she created a being in it to give her nightmares. So, it decided to relinquish control of this dream to the mare to study how two ponies engage in sex.

The mare and stallion stripped naked before the mare was laid across the table on her back. The stallion spread her legs before pushing his cock inside her. The other stallions circled them but leaved a gap so the Tantabus could watch. Luna let out moans as the stallion moved his hips back and forth. To get a better look, the Tantabus stood up and moved closer, its clothes vanishing so it could be naked like the others. When it got to the table, it watched the two have sex.

Suddenly, Luna reached out and grabbed a nearby stallion's rod and pulled it into her mouth. When she did, the stallion let out a moan and began moving his hips as he mouth-fucked the alicorn. The Tantabus tilted its head as it continued observing. Males seemed to experience pleasure from having their rods sucked and inserted into a mare's vagina. How good it felt, the Tantabus didn't know and would never know. Not for certain anyways.

It then had an idea. If the mare thought that it was part of the dream, perhaps she would use her own dream magic to make it feel good. That is, if the mare wanted a dream stallion to feel good. Deciding to take the chance, the Tantabus walked around to the stallion who was fucking the alicorn. Suddenly, the other stallions all vanished. Luna let out a gasp and sat up as the Tantabus positioned itself in front of her.

Leaning in, the Tantabus placed its hands on the tabletop, getting in close before kissing the mare. Luna closed her eyes and kissed back. To the Tantabus' joy, the mare did, in fact, want a realistic experience and let the Tantabus know what a kiss felt like. She didn't, however, know that she was kissing her creation. To her, it was just another figment of her imagination.

Breaking the kiss, the Tantabus gripped its cock and aligned it with the mare's pussy. With a shove, it pushed its way inside, making the mare moan happily and lie back down on the table. The Tantabus gripped the mare's legs as it slammed its hips into the mare's. As it did, it watched Luna's expressions. The alicorn seemed to really enjoy this. Did it really feel that good for a mare to have a stallion shove its cock inside her? Moving its hands from Luna's legs, the Tantabus reached out to grip Luna's breasts, feeling how soft they were. No wonder stallions liked them.

However, it knew it couldn't keep this up any longer and it had to turn this dream into a nightmare. It coughed up blood all over Luna's chest, making the mare scream in fright. The Tantabus gripped the legs harder as its jaw tore from its head and dropped to the floor. Blood began to pour from its eyes as the eyeballs rolled out. Luna let out a high-pitched scream, trying to pull away. After keeping the alicorn trapped for a few more seconds, the Tantabus let the nightmare end. The world, and Luna, faded away as the alicorn woke up.

The Tantabus reformed itself, putting its eyes and jaw back in place. Looking down at its cock, it reached down and gripped it. Deciding to change, the cock disappeared, a pussy taking its place. The Tantabus also grew breasts that matched Luna. Now, it was a mare. Running its hands up and down its sleek body, the Tantabus found that it liked this more.
