Ember reached Canterlot a few hours before dinner having eaten and absorbed the stray pegasi she flew past on her way here.

She touched down hard at the castle gate, creating a crack in the ground at least fifty yard's wide. The guards standing in front of the gates yelped in surprise.

"Open the gates." Ember said in an authoritative tone.

They looked at each other and back at Ember, just standing there in confusion. Ember growled in annoyance and stomped a foot on the ground, creating a small crate.

"I. said. OPEN THE GATES!" She roared.

The guards eeped again before scrambling together to open the way for the Dragon Empress. Ember let smoke fume from her nostrils as the doors slowly opened. When they were fully open the guards walked over to her to apologize, only for her to glare at them, her eyes flashing blood red. Their bodies turned into piles of ash which the Dragon Goddess walked over.

"When I give a Slave an order they obey immediately or die." She growled to herself, waving a hand.

She telekinetically close the gates, the breeze blew away the ash that used to be two Sun Guards. Ember walked towards the main part of Canterlot, heading towards the Castle to attend the Royal Dinner.

She walked into the main hall and head to the Dining Hall, intent on ending this quickly and quietly. Soon, she found herself in front of a set of doors that had a Chef's hat on them. She grinned evilly to herself before regaining her composure. She opened the doors and stepped inside and was greeted by Celestia and Luna waving at her.

She smiled to herself until she noticed them become wary all of a sudden. There senses were sharp, but she'd still completely destroy them. She decided to just let things play out.

"So... Dragon Lord Ember... how have you been adapting to your new role?" Celestia asked.

"Perfectly, as you can see." Ember purred as she looked down at the now much shorter than her Alicorn.

"That's good. By the way... what happened to your size? You're definitely a lot bigger than the last time we saw you," Luna said.

"Oh you know, Dragon Growth Spurts can happen anytime." Ember said as she took a step forward.

"While true, they're usually not this drastic," Celestia said as both she and her sister backed away a little.

Ember noticed this but didn't comment. "You aren't a dragon, so you wouldn't know."

"So growth spurts like this are common among dragons?" Celestia asked with a warm smile that Ember could tell was nervous.

"They aren't exactly rare, but they aren't common, either." Ember shrugged, stretching out her mighty wings, subtly showing off just how big, powerful, and terrifying she really was.

"Well then, let's get this dinner started," Luna said, using her magic to pull a chair out for Ember, while simultaneously sending a signal to the guards for them to be ready for anything.

"....You just had to send a signal, didn't you." Ember said, suddenly deadly serious.

"All I did was pull a chair out for you," Luna said, smiling pleasantly.

"Alright. Let's say I play along, and just have a pleasant meal with you two." Ember said, taking another step forward. "I'm willing to give you two, one chance, after all."

"One chance for what? This is just going to be a pleasant dinner between the Dragon Empress and the Princesses of Equestria. Nothing more complicated than that," Celestia said with a nervous twitch.

"Tell me where the elements are." Ember said, taking another step forward.

"Oh, they're being kept safe, you don't need to worry about that. Let's just relax and eat," Luna said, continuing to smile. As she said this, Celestia used her magic to set the table as well as charge an alert spell.

Ember growled at Celestia and elongated the talons of her right hand. "You just had to do that, didn't you!?"

"Do dragons not eat on the table?" Celestia asked, adjusting the table and sending off the alert spell.

Ember growled as she finished the alert spell. "You just ruined my plans, now this will be a little tougher. You're going to pay for ruining my breezy takeover plan!" She hissed as she lunged at her.

Celestia teleported out of the way as Luna blasted at Ember from the side. Ember flew into the wall, the blast from the Alicorn of the night being powerful enough to move her, but she didn't hurt her at all. Ember gave Luna a look that chilled her to the bone. "You volunteer yourself little Luna?" She chuckled darkly. "Fine by me. I still plan on having my dinner." She said before running at her.

"Or you can give up whatever you plan to do, and just let the dragons live in peace with ponies," Luna said before teleporting out of the way.

Luna could barely comprehend what happened next. Ember reached out her Talons and grabbed Luna mid Teleport. Ember just Chuckled darkly. "You put up a decent effort." She said before opening her Maw, her many sharp fangs and long threatening tongue running Luna through with fear.

Luna struggled in her grip, blasting down Ember's throat with magic. Ember began chewing on the magic, making an "Mmm" of surprise at how it tasted. "Cheesy." She chuckled before placing one of her hands on Luna's horn and snapping it off.

Luna let out a scream of pain at that. "Why?!" she yelled, to no avail. Luna continued to scream as Ember slowly inched her to her maw before plunging her head into her throat. Celestia had been running away, she looked back to see the last she would ever see of her Sister. Luna's legs were kicking furiously as she was being swallowed more and more with each gulp of Ember's mighty body. But what scared Celestia the most, was how Ember was looking dead at her as she did this, Clearly, she planned on taking her too.

Celestia rounded the corner before teleporting to Ponyville to warn the mane six. If Ember's maw wasn't full of Night Alicorn at the moment, she would've smacked her lips at this. Oh well. Nothing she could do would stop her, she was only delaying the inevitable. Meanwhile, she was going to bask in the Alicorn of the Night's fear as she was eaten and absorbed by her. She took her time with swallowing up Luna.

"Halt, evildoer!" several of the guards rushed in, blasting at her at once.

All of their magic fizzled out as it touched her body, none of them being anywhere near powerful to breach the anti magic barrier that was her scales. She just sat the as she happily slurped up Luna who was sobbing in terror. Several of them brandished spears and rushed at her.

Ember stood up and rolled her eyes before slurping up Luna the rest of the way into her belly. "Fine, I'll play with you instead of enjoying my meal." She said, leaving Luna in her stomach acids instead of super speeding her digestion and subsequent absorption.

"Release the princess of the night!" they demanded.

"Come over here and make me, boys." She taunted with a psychopathic giggle.

They all yelled and rushed at her with the spears. Ember Calmly lifted a leg, her talons razor sharp. She swiped her leg in arch so fast it created a rush of wind that knocked them over. They quickly got back to their hooves as more guards rushed in.

"How fun~! More playmates!" Ember giggled with psychopathic glee.

"Release the princess, or die!" they shouted as some of them flew into the air and rushed at her.

Ember just laughed out right as she let out another swift kick, this time much faster. So fast, the rush of wind was deadly sharp. It cut off all of the Pegasuses' wings. They screamed in pain as they fell to the ground. Ember moaned loudly as they screamed in agony. This combined with the screams of pain coming from inside her own stomach as Luna was dissolved by her potent stomach acids caused her twin cocks to poke out of her cloaca. Ember began tearing through everyone of the guards now, having grown bored of toying with them. Soon, there was all but one left, a newbie. He was shivering in terror as he stared at the Dragon Goddess who calmly approached him. Her stomach was one again chiseled, scaled abs, as Luna had been completely digested and absorbed now. Ember popped Luna's horn in her mouth and swallowed it as she approached the last guard.

He turned and tried to run away from her. She was already standing in the direction he turned. Ember lifted her bloody foot. "Clean." She ordered.

"N...never..." he said, raising his spear.

"You are a soldier. You are to obey orders. I am giving you an order. Clean me, or suffer the consequences." She growled, the spear turning to ash in his grip.

"I obey orders from the princesses. Not you," he said.

Ember growled before slicing him into pieces with the talons on her foot. She used magic to clean the blood off of her. "if a slave can't obey a simple order, then they have no use whatsoever." She growled before kicking open the door and leaving. Later, she found herself standing on the very top of the castle, overlooking Canterlot. "I'll be back to conquer this town. But first, I have to finish my Royal Feast." She cackled and spread her wings before flying off.
