Fetura: Celestia's Familiar
Stacks of books were all piled up on a desk as fireflies glowed brightly in glass lamp. Celestia sat reading a page on the theories of lost magic. Not a very exciting book but her teacher had given her a whole list of books to read and at least this was more interesting than the book ‘Proper Etiquette Of A Young Mare Vol. III‘. Not exactly her idea of a fun read, but she was a princess and it was important for her, she guessed. The door squeaked from behind her and she turned around to look. The door was ajar but yet there was no pony there?
“Hello?” She called out but received no answer. Jumping up from her plush cushion, she walked over to the door. “I’m sure I closed it.”
Celestia checked out into the hallway but could see no pony. It was late at night and the hallway was mostly dark, only a few candles hung on the wall giving off a faint glow. Celestia didn’t like being alone, especially when her parents were away for the night. Starswirl was in charge of the castle tonight. Well, she was a Princess so she should be in charge, but he was the adult. The young filly stepped back into her room, shut the door and then returned to her desk. Distracted by her studies, Celestia didn’t hear the pony in her room, sneaking up behind her. They crept ever slower to the Alicorn, step by step, lurking from the shadows. Then pounced.
“RAH!”
Celestia let out a short shriek as she was jumped upon by the pony.
“Got you! Got you!”
Celestia rolled over onto her back, looking up at the face of her little sister, Luna.
“For Starswirls sake, Luna!! You scared me!” she said, pushing her sister off of her and standing up.
“Hey, Tia! Tia! You wanna play?” the smaller blue Alicorn said, looking up at her sister.
Celestia brushed her pink mane out of her eyes before returning to sit at her desk.
“Luna, no. It’s late. Shouldn’t you be in bed?”
“Nah-ah. I’m not tired.” Luna whined, “Let’s play, Tia. You never play with me anymore.”
“That’s because I have lots of important school work to do. I don’t have time. And you should be learning too. You’ll be starting pre-school in a few weeks.” Celestia picked up the book on Etiquette and dropped it at Luna’s hooves. “You should read that one. Don’t you wanna be a princess like me?” She gave her sister a self-important smile, but Luna just rolled her eyes.
“No, that’s dumb and boring.”
“Luna!”
“I wanna play! Let’s go outside!”
“No, it’s dark and we could get in trouble, now go back to your room or I tell mom on you in the morning!” The Alicorn said with a snap. She then turned her back to her sister and sat down again, trying to study. After a few moments of silence, the white filly heard the sounds of sniffling from behind her. She couldn’t stand to hear her sister cry. Slowly she got up and walked to her sister before giving her a hug.
“I’m sorry, Don’t cry. We can play tomorrow, I promise. Okay?”
Luna sniffed and wiped her eyes.
“Promise?”
“Of course. I’d never lie to my sister,” she said and pulled back with a smile. Luna smiled too and Celestia wiped away a tear from the tiny filly’s face. “Now, go to bed. It’s late.”
“But…”
“Come on, Luna.”
“But it’s cold in my room.”
Celestia was about to retort again, but thought for a moment and remembered something. She smiled and then leaned in close to her sister.
“Hey Luna, do you want to see some real magic? But you must promise you won’t tell any pony.”
Luna was confused but then smiled and nodded her head vigorously. Celestia quickly turned to her desk and pushed a few of her books to the side; then, using her magic, she unlocked the desk drawer and pulled out an old book. Laying it down, she read aloud the title.
“Advanced Summoning Spells” She turned to the first page and started reading the important parts. “This book contains spells for summoning items and/or temporary familiars. Within these pages contain the uses of the familiars capable of being summoned, from health problems to personal protectors. Warning: Some of these familiars may be dangerous and should only be summoned by skilled mages. Proceed with caution.” Celestia turned to look at her sister. “Pretty great, right?”
“Tia? Where’d you find this book?”
The white Alicorn rubbed the back of her neck.
“I… might have picked it up from the restricted section when I saw the cleaning mare go in one night aaaand… she forgot to close the gate behind her.” she said with a cheeky grin. Luna covered her mouth with her hooves and laughed.
“You’ll get in big trouble, you will.” She teased. Celestia then turned half-serious.
“That’s why you can’t tell anypony. Remember, you promised.” Luna nodded and then Celestia turned back to the book, flicking through the pages with her magic. “Now where is it? Where, where… AH! Here it is.”
Inside the book were the words ‘Fetura’ in big bold letters. Celestia read a part of the description.
“Fetura: The Heat Creature. This familiar has been known to help mares with problems involving heat. This is perfect, Luna. This familiar will help keep you warm.” Celestia then pointed to the picture of the Fetura. It seemed to be a bunch of tentacles wrapped around a mare, holding her body and legs. She’s got an exhausted, sweaty and satisfied look on her face. “See, she looks happy and warm. That’s what you want, right?”
Luna looked at the picture and wasn’t feeling comfortable with the idea of large snake-like things wrapping around her.
“Tia. I don’t think I like this.” Luna said, pointing at the picture.
“Aww, come on Luna. I’m sure it’s like… like a warm hug!”
“Can’t… Can’t I just stay with you tonight?” Luna asked, looking at her sister sadly. Celestia wasn’t looking though. Her eyes were studying the spell.
“I think we can do this. You just need to say the incantation while channelling the spell.”
“Tia. Stop, I don’t wanna do this.” Luna said, feeling as dread welling up in her belly.
“It’s okay, I can do it for you.”
“Please don’t. I’m scared.” Luna pleaded but it fell on deaf ears.
Celestia was excited at actually trying to summon her first familiar. She’d done a few objects before, like a quill or a spoon, but now she was going to summon a real-life creature! Her horn glowed up in a spiral as she uttered the incantation.
“Conceptus Ovium Tempus”
A tendril of magic then flowed down from her horn and touched the book. It flashed brightly and Celestia jumped back with Luna. A bright blue glow began to rise out of the book floating in mid-air as gusts of wind blew the pages of the book wildly, along with the two fillies’ manes.
“Tia!” Luna cried out, unheard over the sound of the wind rushing around the room.
The light quickly took the shape of a circle, and once formed, all the wind stopped just as suddenly as it started. There was now a white portal with a blue line of energy, holding it open. Celestia took a few steps towards the portal.
“Tia, please don’t!” Luna begged her sister.
Celestia turned to face her sister.
“Oh, don’t be so scared. There’s nothing to worry about.”
At that moment, Celestia saw the reflection of the portal in Luna’s bright blue eyes. There was something there. Turning back around, she saw a single green tentacle, no bigger than a garden snake stretch out from it; the portal rippling like water. The creature moved through the air as if it was looking for something, maybe looking for the one who summoned it, Celestia guessed. Luna, clearly terrified of the thing, took several steps backwards before tripped over something. The book on Etiquette was still on the floor. Luna was now on her back, legs spread apart, leaving her most intimate parts exposed. Celestia turned to her sister, seeing what happened. As she did, the tentacle slowly wiggled past her, moving like a snake in the air, still attached to the portal. The young filly marvelled at its length, taken in by the whole scene of summoning a creature that she’s never seen before.
Luna watched in fear as the tentacle got closer to her, hovering above her as if looking the filly in the face. The blue Alicorn stared horrified at the creature, worried if it was going to hurt her. It lowered itself down onto her and ran smoothly across Luna’s little belly, she was paralysed with fear at this moment. The creature moved down her body, ever so slowly and then floated away, hovering right above her filly parts. After a moment’s hesitation, it started to move down towards her again and Luna realised where it was about to touch her this time. She screamed and swatted at it, rolling over and trying to scamper away. It then wrapped around her hind leg and started to pull her back to the portal as the filly screamed for help. Celestia, realising what the creature wanted to do, blasted the tentacle with a defensive stun beam she’d been taught by her teacher, Starswirl, and then separated it from her sister. It let go of the blue filly and quickly retreated into the portal. Celestia ran to her sister who started crying from the shock.
“I’m sorry, Luna. Are you okay? It didn’t hurt you, did it?” Celestia asked worriedly. Luna shook her head before hugging her sister. She opened her eyes to look and make sure the creature was still gone but instantly her eyes turned to pinpricks. Multiple purple tentacles were starting to slither out the portal, making their way to the two fillies. These ones were different than the last, each one was a different thickness; some as thick as a filly’s leg, others as thin as a hose pipe. The first reached out to grab them but the sisters jumped out the way. The fillies ran for the door but were cut off by one of the thicker tentacles. Celestia tried to cast her stunning spell but it had little to no effect. It pursued them around the room, over the bed, back towards the desk; soon both fillies were trapped in the middle of the room, surrounded.
“Make them stop, Tia! Make them go away!” Luna said between tears.
Celestia looked around the room taking panicked breaths as she was unable to see a way out for the both of them. Then she noticed that the door wasn't blocked. The tentacles all rushed in at once and Celestia acted fast. She picked up her sister and flew up and over the tentacles, but one caught her leg. This caused her to drop Luna, the blue filly hit the end of the bed before crashing down onto the floor. When Luna got back up, she looked up in horror as the tentacles wrapped themselves around her sister.
“NO!” Luna cried.
“Luna! Go get help! Quickly! Find Starswirl!”
“But Tia!”
“PLEASE LUNA! HURRY!” Celestia screamed in panic.
One of the tentacles moved towards Luna and the tiny filly managed to avoid it, she stumbled over her hooves as she ran. She panicked as another one came at her but she opened the door with her magic and then slammed it behind her, narrowly missing the tendril from getting out behind her. Celestia thanked the stars that her sister made it out, but now she had to get herself out. One of the tentacles had wrapped itself around her middle, trapping her wings against her side and two others had wrapped around both of her forelegs, lifting her up and hanging her in the air, neither of her back legs touching the floor.
“What do you want? Leave me alone!” She shouted at the creature.
The Fetura didn’t answer with words, instead one of the tentacles wormed its way up her leg, starting at the hoof. It slithered up across her knee, then up across her thigh. Celestia suddenly realised where it was heading and remembered what the green one had attempted to do to her sister. The young filly screamed and started kicking at the thing, trying to keep it away.
“No! You don’t touch a fillies private area, you monster! AAHHHH!” She screamed as a crushing pain came across her midsection. The middle tentacle was squeezing her tightly, trying to make her stop thrashing about. She continued to struggle and it continued to squeeze, wrapping around her one more time crushing her lungs. She couldn’t breathe! The second she stopped fighting it, it eased up on her, letting her breathe again. The filly gasped from the pain as she hung limp. The tentacle again touched her leg and she twitched against it, wanting to fight it but she stopped herself. It moved up to between her legs, moving ever so slowly. Celestia watched on helplessly, afraid to even fight back; until finally, it touched her. Celestia gasped out and she fidgeted against it, as it started to rub back and forth against her special area. Her mother had told her that a filly’s parts were a private area and should never be shown off and especially never touched by another pony. She always remembered that, yet here she was, hung in mid-air with an alien creature touching her in ways she’d never imagined would be possible. It felt more and more slimy as it continued to rub against her, spreading her lower lips apart and making them slicker. Yet it didn’t hurt, it just felt weird and tingly.
“Please. Please stop. I don’t want this!” She begged the Fetura. The purple tentacle then stopped rubbing.
Did it understand me? She thought to herself.
“Please, let me down. I’m sorry- I’m sorry if I hurt you.”
Celestia held her breath, praying that it did indeed understand her. Slowly it pulled away, sliding along her cunny lips and flicking its tip against her clit as it pulled away. Celestia squeaked from that as she felt a jolt run up her belly. She didn’t know what that was but it wasn’t a bad jolt. It was more like a pleasant tickle. She felt the tentacle slipping down her leg, the moistened tip of it wetting the fur of her leg. It seemed to be retreating and Celestia was about to say thank you when suddenly it coiled around her back leg and pulled her leg outwards and lifted her up. Celestia called out in confusion as she was repositioned in the air. Three of her legs spread apart as her final back leg hung in the air. She’d been positioned with her rear-facing towards the portal and her looking towards the door.
Luna, please hurry!
Looking back she saw that another purple tentacle then appeared out of the portal. This one was thicker than the rest and it moved slowly towards her fillyhood. Celestia started to panic.
What’s it going to do to me?!
She then felt it press against her privates, the tip starting to push into her, stretching her. Celestia screamed and in her panic, fired her stunning beam at it, not even properly aiming as she squirmed around. Again she felt the middle tentacle squeeze her, tighter this time. Her breath cut off from her lungs and the pain of being crushed made her go stiff. The tentacles around her legs then began pull her in all separate directions! The pain was so intense she was scared they were going to tear her apart. At that moment they all relaxed and she felt herself hanging limply in the air again. Breathing heavily, aching. Realising that there was no way for her to get out of this alone, Celestia started to cry.
“Luna... Starswirl… Where are you? Please… help me!” She begged.
The Fetura’s tentacle got closer to the now immobile filly’s lower lips; it spread her vulva apart as it pressed against her, slowly spreading her apart wider as it entered her.
“Aah, aah! P-please! Please don’t!” It continued to push into her. “I-I’m just a filly! I promise… I promise I’ll never do this agAAAAAAA-!”
Pain tore through the young princess as the tentacle broke through her hymen in a single hard thrust. She had never experienced anything like it before. The pain shooting through her body, the fullness of the creature deep inside her; she wanted it all to stop. Looking to the door through the tears in her eyes, she saw still that no one was here to save her. Then something appeared before her. Another tentacle. Was it checking on her?
“P… Pleas-mmmmm!” The tentacle moved forward and pushed against her mouth, trying to get in. The filly clamped her mouth shut tight but it kept pushing. The tentacle in her pussy pulled out a few inches before slamming back into her. Celestia screamed which gave an opening for it to enter her mouth. Its slimy texture rolled all over her tongue as it wiggled around in her mouth, its slime leaking out like a faucet. She thought about biting down on it but she feared what the Fetura would do to her. Her mouth was filling up with the tentacles goo and it tasted horrible, like a salty slime that she wanted to spit out, but the tentacle was preventing that. She tried to hold on, to prevent herself from swallowing but she could feel her mouth overflowing and dripping down the back of her throat. The thrusting of the tentacle between her legs was making it harder for her. Tears continued to run down her face as she realised she had no choice. The filly swallowed the goo and she could feel it coating the inside of her throat, reminding her of an icky cough medicine. It made her want to throw up. She swallowed again as she felt her mouth filling up again, only this time the tentacle went down with it.
Her gag reflex shook and she began to choke, wanting to spit it all back up but it went nowhere. The Alicorn’s throat bulged as it went down and held its position, waiting for the filly to control her spasms before it came back up. Celestia bucked and struggled to breathe, her lungs burning and the urge to throw up ever-present. The tentacles held her tight, keeping her still, seeing if they could make her calm down. The filly then started to regain control, breathing through her nose, repressing the urge to be sick. After that all passed, the tentacle pulled out of her mouth, allowing her to cough and breathe normally again. The tentacle wiggled before her, waiting for her to finish dry heaving as tears rolled down her cheeks. She wanted to ask why it was doing this to her but knew she’d get no answer. It then moved forward to enter her mouth again and, defeated, she gave no effort to stop it.
The tentacle in her cunny was making loud squelching noises as it was thrusting harder in and out of her, making the filly squeal with each deep thrust. The pain of her undeveloped fillyhood being stretched out was unbearable, and yet she could feel something deep within her, a pressure between her legs making her feel like she was about to pop. It was scaring her. She didn’t want to die like this; she had so much she wanted to do. The tentacle in her mouth was also coming in and out of her throat with almost no resistance. She continued to get strung up in the air with only one of her back legs dangling free which twitched every so often against her control. The intensity of this all made the tingles grow more and more and suddenly the tentacle in her pussy picked up speed, thrusting faster, harder, expanding and stretching the filly wider. The pressure that had been building inside her was now reaching its limit. Celestia tried to squeeze her legs together and stop it but it only made it worse. It felt like she was adding to the pressure. She squealed and wiggled in the creature's grasp, trying anything to stop it, afraid of what was going to happen, but there was no stopping it.
Celestia came hard against the tentacle as it powered into her, her involuntary spasms, forcing more and more fillycum to leak out and each pop of her hips caused her to cum again and again against the unrelenting intruder inside her. The slick cum leaking from her fillyhood slowly dripped down between her legs, she shuddered and popped her hips one final time, which made the tentacle burst all the way inside her, all the way to the womb. The pain from that caused her to silently scream out her final orgasm a combination of pain and pleasure. With her throat stuffed, the sound was almost muted. After all that, she and the tentacles stopped moving and it left her feeling more exhausted than ever.
Breathing hard through her nose, the poor filly tried to work out exactly what just happened. Whatever that was building inside of her was gone now. It didn’t feel bad when it happened, in fact, it felt good. But her insides still hurt where she’d been penetrated into her womb, her throat felt sore, and the pressure from her first-ever orgasm left her feeling extra sensitive between her legs.
And then it started again. Celestia couldn’t take any more of this! The creatures thrusts were much deeper now and the pain quickly returned. She weakly tried to struggle, but it was hopeless. She could only hang there and let the beast have its way with her like some perverse toy. She tried looking around the room, thinking of leaving her body mentally, imagining that this wasn’t happening. But then a new shadow on the wall caused her to glance back at the portal. Another tentacle was coming.
This one was coiled around like a corkscrew and she watched as it came closer to the other one that was already penetrating her. She was unsure what it could possibly do as she was already stuffed to her limit in her cunny. Suddenly she felt a shiver go up her spine as she felt the warm goo from the tentacle drip against her butthole.
No, please no! Not there! She thought in a panic.
However, unnoticed by the filly, the tentacle inside her pussy had three large orbs travelling down the inside of it from the portal. The tentacle continued to massage her anus as the spheres travelled ever closer. It wasn’t until they reached her filly lips that she felt they were being spread open more, beyond their limits. Celestia cried out from the pressure as the thing began to push into her abused hole. The orb that entered into her followed the tentacle all the way down her narrow passage. She continued to struggle pointlessly and felt it travel down every inch of the way inside of her, making her feel like it was splitting her in two, causing a fresh new wave of pain just when she feared it couldn’t get any worse. When it reached the end of the tentacle, it popped out of its tip, landing snuggly in her womb. She felt the extra weight inside her and snapped her neck back to see what had caused it. There she saw there were things that were stretching the tentacle itself, making it more transparent and able to see what was inside. Eggs.
Immediately she began to thrash and squirm again, renewed energy for her need to prevent those things entering her. She brought her thighs together, wiggled left and right, tried to use her muscles to push the things back out of her. But the creature which always squeezed her tight to make her cooperate didn’t bother this time. She was too weak at this point to dislodge or fight off the tentacles. The one above her anus now poked at her other hole and began to coil inwards to get inside her. The filly princess then froze up. This new intruder was twisting into her tight pucker and stretching it out, not on the outside, but her insides, her asshole still remaining the same size, if just a little wider to allow the tentacle in. She couldn’t describe the feeling of it as it continued to twist into her, expanding her from the inside and it coiled around itself.
The next egg reached her fillyhood and pushed, stretching her wide before slipping inside. Celestia screamed, gagged though she was with the tendril in her mouth, and continued to fight as the egg made its way to her womb. Once it reached the end, the egg sat alongside the first one, causing her belly to become bloated, visible just beneath where the tentacle around her middle held her aloft. The filly’s vision soon began to blur, the pain she’d endured, the stretching, the mental anguish of succumbing to things she shouldn’t have been hearing about for many years to come. The exhaustion of it all finally was catching up with her. She closed her eyes, wanting to just drift away.
The Fetura had other plans for her though. Just as she was about to blackout, the green tentacle from before came back out of the portal and slithered its way up her free-hanging leg. It wrapped and coiled around it, all the way up and then went between her legs. It got right against the filly’s clit, which was poking out from its hood due to the pressure from the tentacle stuffing her pussy, and it started to wiggle and flick against it, shaking continuously.
Celestia’s eyes opened up wide again as a jolt of that feeling she had before came back again, the feeling of an intense pressure inside her. Celestia fought against a strange desire to moan as it rubbed up against her tiny clit. She was going through so many different emotions and feelings. Fear, pain, being stuffed so full, and most surprisingly to her, pleasure. The green tentacle continued the stimulate the filly as the third egg popped passed, into her pussy and travelled to her womb, making her feel more bloated than ever. The tentacle inside her womb then pulled out slowly, as did the one that had ceaselessly been throat fucking her pulling out only just far enough for a gasp of air. A sudden feeling of hollowness overcame her senses at that short moment.
Is… is it, over? Celestia thought to herself, barely able to process what it all meant.
Then without warning, the tentacle in her butt coiled up tighter than before and started to try and pull out of her. But it couldn’t. It was too big. It was like a plug in her ass, thrusting in and then trying to pull out with her own pucker keeping it in. As it tried to pull out, she felt herself being lifted up higher then lowered again, making her back arch. The other tentacles then went back inside her, as deep as they could, thrusting in and out of her throat and pussy, all out of sync with each other, jostling the filly around with the green one continuing to mercilessly attack her clit. It was all too much. The pain, the fullness, the intense pressure building up inside her, she couldn’t take it anymore, already limp and uncaring, she felt the pressure again below her belly reaching its peak and then she came again. For the second time in her life and with so much more intensity. Celestia let out a high pitched muted squeal, again and again as her fillycum squirted out, her leg kicking out at the air with each burst. As it came out, it hit the green tentacle that was still rubbing her clit, which was now slicker than before. During this moment as she was riding out her orgasm, all three of the tentacles began to pulse in each of her orifices deep inside her, cumming deep in her. She felt the first in her throat, going all the way to her stomach, the slimy texture as sickly as the slime it used to lubricate her throat. The one in her abused cunny, squirting deeply and filling her womb full of the sticky substance as each throb of it overfilled her, causing it to squirt out the sides of her tightly stuffed pussy. It dribbled out the sides and down her back legs. And then the one in her anus that had been coiled up tightly unravelled and let out squirt after squirt as she fell to the floor, the tentacle shooting its sticky substance across her butt and her back, getting into her pink mane. The tentacle around her middle slowly unravelled and let Celestia down onto the floor. Each of the other tentacles also were slipping out of her, her pussy, throat and ass feeling empty, leaving the poor filly exhausted, gasping for breath, yet making no attempts to move, no thoughts to even process what happened. The little green tentacle itself was the last to remove itself from her over-stimulated clit.
One by one the tentacles that had abused and assaulted her body retreated through the portal, but some hadn’t removed themselves from her. The ones around her legs remained attached, and slowly they started to pull the near unconscious filly, across the floor to the portal. She had no strength left to fight it, she could barely keep her eyes open.
“H…help” Was the only sound she could make, and it was barely a whisper. Just then the door burst open and a grey unicorn fired a white beam on the portal, causing it to begin fracturing. The Fetura’s tentacles retreated quickly into the portal, screeching in a horrible wail.
“Princess Celestia!” Starswirl shouted out, running to the filly’s side. She was an absolute mess. Her mane was dishevelled, her eyes red, face stained with tears. She was completely covered in the Fetura’s cum, across her back, it was drooling from her mouth, leaking out of her butt and fillyhood. Red marks covered her legs and stomach. Starswirl was taken aback when he saw the large bulge in her belly. “Oh, Sweet filly. What has happened to you?”
“TIA!” Luna screamed as she ran up to her. Starswirl moved to block her.
“Luna, stay back!”
“NO! TIA!! YOU’RE HURT!! TIA?? TIA!!!”
Celestia could barely register their voices anymore. Everything that had happened was all too much and now that it was over, she let her pain take her away into a place it could no longer hurt, and she faded off into the blackness.

Fetura: Celestia's Familiar
Stale. The air around her tasted stale. The sounds of birds chirping outside were the only thing that registered for her. Her body felt heavy, weak. Even the idea of moving felt like a horrible ordeal, she wanted to throw up but instead, she stayed still, unmoving, no desire to at all. Except to purge the stale taste from her mouth.
“Will Tia be okay?”
Luna?
“She should recover, but she’ll need more time,” Starswirl said. Celestia could hear him and her sister from right next to her, wherever she was. “Run along now, your mom is outside waiting.” He sounded tired. The sound of hooves slowly walking away followed before Starswirl spoke again in a hushed whisper “I need to find a way to get them out of her, and soon.”
Get what out? Celestia wondered. What was he talking about? Images of the previous events flashed by in her head. Pain shot through her just by the memories alone.
“C-Celestia? The spell is wearing off. Hold on.” The worried voice of Starswirl spoke out and just as quickly, sleep overcame her again.
“And you're certain there is no other way?”
“Either we remove them, or we medicate her. We can control it and she can birth them naturally.”
“Natura- She’s just a foal!”
“Would she survive the procedure?”
“It’s a risk. They’ve attached deep into her womb. Removing them could be just as dangerous. There could be complications, I mean we’ve never had a situation like this before.”
“Please. Please, you have to save my baby girl!”
“Excuse me, Doctor. I think she’s awake.”
“Celestia!?”
“Please stand back, we have to keep her sedated. Otherwise, it could make things worse.“
“Let me, doctor. My magic will be faster.”
“This isn’t happening. This is all one horrible nightma-”
The sun shined brightly through the window. The light was beaming directly into Celestia’s eyes. The filly slowly raised a hoof and covered her eyes. Her leg felt heavy and she lowered it again, rolling over and opening her eyes slowly, everything was just a blur at first, and she wondered where she was. It was dark but soon it all became clear that she was in a hospital room. Alone. No, there was a tiny filly at the foot of her bed covered by a blanket, a tuft of blue hair poking out. Celestia crawled over to the pony and gave them a gentle nudge.
“Luna?” She asked. The pony grumbled like they didn’t wanna be disturbed. Celestia grabbed the blanket. “Luna, wake up!” Luna sprung and pounced onto her. Celestia looked up at Luna’s face which had been replaced with a mass of wriggling tentacles.
She screamed!
Celestia screamed, sitting bolt right up in her bed.
“Tia?”
Celestia spun around in fright, grabbing ahold of her blankets, tightly pulling them close to her. Across the bed from her was her little sister Luna. Normal Luna, with her big blue eyes and not a face of tentacles.
“Luna?” She asked tentatively. The blue filly didn’t move, frozen from the reaction her sister just had. Celestia burst out into tears and then grabbed her sister, crying into her shoulder.
“Tia? What’s wrong. Are you hurt? You want me to get a doctor?” The filly asked worriedly.
The door then opened and Starswirl himself walked in, he saw Celestia was awake and rushed to her side.
“Dear Celestia, are you okay? Are you in pain?” He asked. The white filly pulled out of the hug and looked to Starswirl. She stared up at him with tears in her eyes.
“W-w-why?” Celestia asked. Starswirl tilted his head in confusion. “Why didn’t you come? You weren’t there! Why’d you let it hurt me so much?”
“I- I’m sorry… I couldn’t… I came as fast as I could.”
“No... No, go away! I hate you! I hate you!”
Celestia returned to hugging her sister and continued to cry. Luna returned her sister's hug as Starswirl stood stunned before he turned and walked out the room.
“Well the diagnosis is that she’s made a full recovery, physically. However, while the removal process was successful and should have no long-lasting effects, she may need to spend a lot of time with a foal counsellor. What she’s been through is… indescribable.”
“Thank you, Doctor.”
The two ponies watched Celestia and Luna sitting together in a playroom, Luna clearly enjoying all of the toys and showing them off to Celestia as she sat on the floor, barely paying attention. The mare turned from the window, unable to watch anymore.
“Oh, my poor filly. What did you do that night? …Doctor, whatever did happen with those eggs?”
“Hmm, our records show that Starswirl has taken the embryos and properly disposed of them.”
“Thank goodness. Starswirl blames himself for this entire situation. If we only were in the castle, we could have stopped this!”
“You shouldn’t blame yourselves. You couldn’t have known something like this was even possible.” The Doctor said trying to reassure her. “Your daughter has much more magical potential then we could ever have expected. A spell such as this should have been impossible for her to cast at her age. She’s special. Mark my words, she’ll make it through this.”
“And this one is a Moonbear. Rawww!” Luna continued to show off more of the toys, trying to get her sister to play with them but she wasn’t listening. She had been here now for two weeks, including the 5 days she'd been kept sedated. Celestia kept recalling images of that night, how it all seemed to keep going on forever and ever. The pain, how much it hurt… and how good it felt. She lowered a hoof to between her legs absentmindedly, touching herself where it had penetrated her all those nights ago. The doctors had told her that all the damage caused by the Fetura had been treated and she was healed. Yet, that couldn’t be right. She felt… empty.
Luna ran up to her sister making the bear fly like a spaceship. Celestia quickly snatched her hoof away from her fillybits, hoping the still innocent minded filly didn’t notice. She didn't really understand what had happened to her, only that she got hurt. Then something else came to her mind, something that she'd never gotten an answer to yet, but they were alone now. She could finally ask her.
“Hey, Luna.” Celestia spoke quietly. “When you left to go get Starswirl... Why were you gone so long?”
Luna stopped running at that and sat down, she made the bear stand on its legs as she nervously wobbled it about.
“Well… I left to go get the professor, like you said, but he wasn’t in his room. So I kept looking and looking, I found him in the basement but, the door was locked. I banged on the door but he didn’t answer. I saw him through the keyhole though. He was doing a lot of magic spells like you did. As soon as he saw me, he came out and I told him what was happening and then he ran with me to save you.”
Celestia squinted as she looked at her sister.
“He didn’t teleport? Wait, what do you mean, the spell I was doing?”
“Yeah. With the portal and the ten-tickles thingy.” Luna continued to absentmindedly play with the toy. Celestia stepped over to take the moonbear away. “Hey!”
“Luna, tell me about the portal he had. Was the Fetura attacking him too? “
“N-no. It was… It seemed more like he was letting it through the portal.”
Celestia’s mind was racing. What did that mean?
The basement was dark with only a single candle glowing. Starswirl was adding notes to his booklet as he cast spells over an object in a tray.
“Day 14: The specimen has taken a darker form and seems to be developing sprouts which release magic altering spores. Smaller bumps along the tendril seem to show perhaps a possible defence if matured long enough.”
A faint gurgling sound came from behind the unicorn. He turned to look at the source of the noise.
“Easy my pet, you still need your rest. You over-exerted yourself last time.”
Starswirl took the tray in his magic and carried it over to another table placing it down next to two other trays. Each had a pile of what could only be described as black vines, each crawling around on each other.
“Seems your eggs are more like seeds. Especially when mixed with Alicorn DNA. I’ve never seen anything like it. Why I bet if we could get a few more of these, we could use them to help defend Equestria. An unstoppable fighting plant that could hold back armies. Could you imagine it?”
The groaning noise echoed through the room again.
“Well no, they aren’t nearly big enough yet. But these were the most successful yet. We’ve just been going about this all wrong. Unicorn mares just aren’t strong enough. Nor are pegasi or earth ponies. But an Alicorn… that’s a different deal altogether.”
Another groaning noise followed, Starswirl turned to face the creature.
“Yes, I’m aware of the risks. We’re lucky we didn’t allow these to birth naturally inside of the poor filly. If these had grown inside her, she would not have survived. But there’s no denying that these vines grew stronger just by being housed inside her womb. It’s amazing what these princesses are capable of.”
The Fetura weakly reached out a tentacle to Starswirl, but he used his magic to place it back into the glass tank.
“Now now, none of that. You need to rebuild your strength.”
The stallion walked away and headed over to his desk.
“After all…” Starswirl reached up onto the shelf and pulled down a framed picture of himself, Celestia and Luna. “There’s still more test subjects available.”
