Author's Note

Yes, I know I shouldn't post a new story. But this was inspired by AkumaKami64's Cyoa prompt, The Alicorn King. I was also having a bad day and finally writing this made me feel better. I hope that I can get back to my other stuff soon. My writer's block has been acting up plus things have been very busy lately. I am often too tired to write. I hope this finds everypony well and I have nothing but best wishes for everypony for the upcoming year.

ALL HAIL THE HOUSE OF REN.

Arrival

He was alone, searching through the detritus of his former life. His sister was gone, vacated to find the family she'd always wanted.

"Can't say I blame her," He lamented as he searched through what was left to sell, "Mom was the one the held us together. And there is no way I would want her to wallow with me."

Scavenging within the leftovers of his life, he pulled a dull crown from a box marked, 'Expendables.'

Rubbing it lightly, he examed the dull grey thing, "To light to be Iron, to dull to be Steel."

A Black stone adorned the crown, "It's more a circlet, really. Hold on. What's this?"

Whispers of shadow and waves of darkness shimmered over the crown. Pouring onto his skin, the man cast out the crown. Only to find it stuck fast to his hand. Shades rose up from the concrete floor of his garage, no sound arising from their passing. Strange things watched him from the sidelines, never entering his line of site. Their chitterings and scuttlings revealing their presence. A voice echoed out, dire in its pronouncement.

"Let the one of Hektonhere bred, join those that call for him."
"Let The Master of Dark Magic take his throne."
"Let The Alicorn of the Broken rise."

Yet for all this, a fascination had settled over the man. Placing the circlet upon his head, the shadows and darkness claimed their Prince.

Pain pierced his head as he opened his eyes once again. Slamming them shut once more, he groaned.

"Oh come on you big baby, the transmutation wasn't that taxing." A low baritone rumbled, "You are seriously taking away from my snuggle time with Fluttershy and that just won't do."

Opening his eyes once again, he slowly began to take stock of his surroundings.

He was in the comfiest bed he'd ever had the privilege to be in.
He was not alone.
Person meant him no immediate harm.
An extra pair of arms and what felt like four sets of wings had been added to his body.

Easing himself upwards, he gazed upon the sole other occupant of the bed-chamber. It was a serpentine creature with the head of a goat, a paw of a lion, an eagle talon, a dragon's leg, a donkey's leg, and a superbly sinuous tale. The mismatched horns of a deer and a croked unicorn's horn adorned his face. The creature smiled at him, showing one snaggletooth among many sharp teeth.

"Alright," He groaned, "How much fucking drugs and alcohol did I ingest last night that Discord turned me into a self insert?"

Raising his top set of arms to his forehead, he felt twin intertwined Unicorn horns, "And why am I twice as horny as I was yesterday? What is this double the pleasure, double the fun?"

"Heh, I like you," The debonair deity of chaos chuckled, "But I am afraid no drugs and/or alcohol was responsible for this."

The man raised his eyes to glare at Discord, "What did you fucking do?"

Discord rubbed his lion's paw against the back of his neck, "It was from before Fluttershy befriended me. A leftover plot that I could never locate. The idea of a crown sent out into the entirety of the multiverse. Each version of it only becoming real when picked up by a Male."

"So, it turned me into the male of a species that only has females?"

"You are correct sir!" Discord guffawed, shifting into a suit and tie as confetti fell from the ceiling.

"And why don't you tell me what I've won?"

Discords smile threatened to split his head, "At last an Alicorn with a sense of humor!"

Darting forward, Discord pressed the tip of his eagle talon against the man's forehead.

Clutching his head once more, Prince Malem shook himself.

"Holy Shit did I go Edgelord!" he critiqued, "grab me a mirror, I need to see the damage."

Discord chuckled as he poofed Prince Malem into the center of a wring of mirrors.

"Standing an incredible 8" tall, weighing in at I don't care. His white eyes see things unseen, his unkempt grey coat and white hair mean he has more important things on his mind. I give you, your new body... PRINCE MALEM!!!!!"

"And I went for the dark tower, decided I wanted to bang Chrysalis for all eternity, plus went as dark as I could without actively being on the side of the caribou. Who will be showing up in a couple of years. Plus Monsters. I enjoy a dual aspect in Necromancy and Biomancy, plus lesser aspects in Darkness, Shadows, and Blood. And I made all Equestrians vaguely slutty. And Anthro. With no limit on Magic. What in the fuck is wrong with me?"

Discord patted the newly born Alicorn on the shoulder, "If it makes you feel any better, you did improve me and Fluttergirls snuggle time."

"Oh god please tell me you're getting your Draconoquess Dick wet with Fluttershy. After all the shit you've been through the both of you deserve some happiness."

"And what makes you think I will answer such a disrespectful question?" Discord snarled.

Malem snorted, "Just stop man. We both know that I am the only one that can talk to you like this. And that you love it. Because even though Spike and Big Mac are your bros, there are still lines they would be too terrified to cross. I chose to be the Alicorn of the Broken for a reason. I can recognize a fellow clusterfuck of a shitshow. We can save the niceties for out in public. Besides your reaction told me everything. Good on you. I expect to be godfather to the child. Now if you'll excuse me, I have a Changeling Queen to make my submissive."

Discord shook his head, "Good Luck. I am sure Chrysi will be all lined up for that."

Malem smiled nastily, "Discord, you're forgetting one simple thing."

"And what is that? Oh Prince My Prince."

"You didn't limit any knowledge I have from my previous existence, plus I now have the resources to exploit them."

With that Malem strode from his room, pausing only to throw on a pair of pants and a jacket. He winked at the horrified Discord, as the door slammed behind him. Leaving one shell shocked Lord of Chaos behind."

"Oh Dear Celestia," He muttered, "What have I done?"

Dried rock crumbled under my feet, the shadows allowing me to approach silently. A little Biomancy and my smell was undetectable. A few other tweaks to myself and the changelings in the area lit up like bonfires to my senses.

I love stacking the deck in my favor. This is to easy.

Reaching the entrance to my Queen's hidey hole, I announced myself.

"Prince Malem, Alicorn of the Broken, demands an audience with Queen Chrysalis."

The words reverberated into the caverns.

"Who Dares Demand Anything of Queen Chrysalis?" My soon to be bride replied.

"I am the first Male Alicorn," I clarified, "And You Will Be My Bride!"

Silence echoed throughout. Her brood held back, unsure what to do without orders from their Queen.

Good, I chuckled, Their lack of initiative will bind them and their Queen to me better than any chain.

A dark figure strutted towards me. She was thin, but still had the vestiges of the curves that had made her a beauty. Her dark chiton glimmered through the thin gauze she wore to keep away the chill. Her blue hair hang loosely around her shoulders, knots beginning to form.

"I admit you are easy on the eyes," Chrysalis purred, "But what makes you think that I will marry such as you. Shall I become some thing to warm your bed, only to be troted out to display your power. You think to highly of yourself."

"You shall definitely warm my bed," I sneer back, "But why would I display my greatest asset to my enemies?"

Chyrsalis stepped back, her cheeks flush. Sniffing the air, she considered my words.

"I would be your greatest Asset?" She inquired, "How?"

"I need both infiltrators and a companion." I smile, "And I think your assets fit on both those bills."

"You intend to take over Equestria?"

I shook my head, "I intend to save Equestria. Dark times are coming. I don't have the time or the luxury of being noble about it. Something I think you can understand."

Stepping closer to her, I bowed slightly. Shifting my magic into myself, I changed myself further. Chemical processes clicked into place, a musk beginning to ensare the changeling Queen.

Chrysalis shook her head, "What..... are... you?"

I smiled as the changelings around me wavered, "I told you that I neither had the time nor luxury to be noble. You're the first piece of the puzzle. And know that I have you and your unaltered changelings, Equestria has a chance.

More of my Musk wrapped itself around Chrysalis' mind. She began to waver as I detect several of her brood jump the others. The slapping of flesh on flesh and an exact copy of my musk wafting down to us.

"I... won't... submit," She replied, even as we could both smell her arousal.

Stepping forward again, I grasped her in my arms, stealing just a bit of her life force she crumpled into my arms. Kissing her firmly on the mouth, I wrapped my tongue around hers. My saliva modified to be slightly addictive. Tearing the gauze from her I spun her around. With my top arms, I pushed her against the wall of the cave. My lower arms freed my cock.

"I am going to make you beg to take me inside you," I snarled into her ear, "I will not put it in till you do."

Pulling her back, I lifted her upwards. My lower arms held her in place, as I ground my erection against her pussy. My upper arms traced her breasts, rubbing her nipples ever so lightly. My lower arms shifted downwards as I began to finger fuck Chrysalis.

"I... Don't... Beg..." She moaned.

I laughed, swaddling her in more of my musk I felt the first of her orgasms. Her buddy shuddered and shook, her pussy dripping with moisture.

"You will not cum again until you do," I whispered into her ear.

Not bothering to hide the purple glow of my magic anymore, I halted her ability to finish. While also cranking up her body's sensitivity to pleasure.

Chrysalis shrieked as my hands continued their molestations, her tongue fell from her mouth as her eyes lost focus.

"Please let me cum." She begged, "I need to cum so badly."

"Not until you beg for me to slam my cock deep inside you," I sighed into her ear, "Not until you beg me to finish deep inside you."

"Take my ass," She bartered, "Cum inside my ass."

"I intend to," I teased, "But today I will Cum deep inside that pretty Changeling Pussy."

"I might get pregnant," She moaned, "I'm fertile."

"I know," I mutter into her ear, "I intend to make you a mommy. You and many others. I have to start my dynasty somewhere. I just wanted you to be the first. To be the mother of my oldest.

The prospect of being the mother of my oldest child further aroused her. Reaching over her head, she brought her lips to mine. Our second kiss was electric as she gave in to my demands.

"Do it," She begged, "Please cum deep inside me. Knock me up! Please I need the release. But you better take responsibility."

Lifting her up slightly, I slid into her depths. THe both of us moaned as our combined sex smells spread to all present changelings.

Looks like I won't be the only one starting a family I smiled as I heard several of the couples finish.

Bending Chrysalis over, until her hands and feet rested against the ground. I proceeded to pound her. All four of my hands roamed her body as I continued to piston into her. Dropping the restriction on her Orgasms, Chrysalis' pussy clenched tightly around my cock. The pulsing velvet warmth drove me over to the edge as I emptied myself into the well-fucked Queen. Withdrawing from her, I smiled as she fell to the ground. The once-proud Changeling Queen humming contently as she used her finger to hold my seed inside her. I knelt down and stroked her cheek. She purred as she nuzzled against my hand.

"Gather your people," I said gently, "It is time for them and you to come home.

Recruitment

Discord approached the dark tower, his thought on what he had unleashed into this world of boundless magic.

"He will change the very narrative of this world," he chortled, "All prophecies and plans thrown into disarray. I just hope he is up to the task."

Moving over the monster-infested wasteland that materialized alongside Malem's home, Discord smiled down upon the forsaken inhabitants.

"Soon your prince will come," He gloated, "Malem will not let a single one of us be left behind. Forsake your bonds to the old goat. Another lord of the Monsters will rise."

Arriving at his friend's home, he was greeted by two guards. They had once been changelings, but now were something different. Strength flowed within their muscles, their armor fused to their bodies, they carried no weapons for Malem had turned them into weapons.

"Lord Discord," One of them greeted the Draconoquess, "Please go right in, you're expected."

Discord surged forward, "Did he take in all of you? And what changes he has wrought in such a short time. I wonder how he managed it."

"Lord Malem changes us as he sees fit," The other answered, "to be in his presence is to be altered, to be made better."

Clucking his tongue at the other guard, Discord grinned.

"I get it, you met your god," Discord snarked, "are you worshiping him in other ways too?"

"He is our father as our Queen is our mother, we worship them both in all ways."

Discord's eyes widened, "I think I better just go in. Things may be getting a little cringy."

Snaping his fingers he appeared in front of Malem. The Alicorn wore his usual cargo pants and multi-pocketed vest, this time a dagger hung at his hip. In the center of the room, one of the monsters of the wasteland struggled, its cries of anger reverberating within the circular room. Glowing purple runes pulsed in rhythm to the chanting of robed figures nestled within six alcoves placed equidistant on the outer wall.

"What did I walk in on?" Discord inquired, "I can come back if this is a bad time."

"Not at all," Malem placated his friend, "I want your opinion of what I've done."

Sliding up next to Discord, he gently moved him away from the circle and out of the room.

"Malem what was going on in there?" Discord queried, "that looked suspiciously like a summoning circle. One that used an insane amount of Necromantic energy."

"Relax Discord," Malem assured him, "I got around all of that by hardwiring changelings into the energy circuits. They serve as the will and power source for the entire thing. I further modified them to be more efficient conductors as well. Energy from the world is collected within them and directed by my will."

Discord paled, "Somehow I don't feel much better."

Malem chuckled, "I will not lie to you Discord, I am not going to fucking bother. Any question you ask will get as honest an answer as I can give in that moment."

"And screw it, if I don't like the answer?"

Malem touched his finger to his muzzle, "Exactly, If you didn't want the answer don't ask the fucking question."

"How does Chrysalis feel about the changes you are making?"

"I am taking you to her, you can ask her yourself," Malem assured the chaos god.

Descending into the nether realm of the castle, Discord shuddered as things carried changeling larvae on blasphemous errands. As they walked further down, the brick and mortar tower gave way to stone bored clean. The walls looked smooth and melted.

Discord looked at Malem, but before he could ask they arrived at the central chamber. A low arched ceiling was studded with glowing green lights that gave the whole place a baleful glow. But what dominated the large chamber was the Queen of the changelings. The top part of her body had remained unchanged, but the lower half had enlarged. It filled the tunnel behind her. Those things from before scurried about, descending past their Queens bulk to retrieve the larvae she birthed.

Discord turned to Malem, "What in the name of holy fucking Celestia's fat ass did you do?"

As Chrysalis nestled within my arms, I continued making changes. Her wounds healed as I opened her energy channels to the vast sea of magic that was Equestria. Her brood I began to warp, their forms changing as I adapted them to their new duties. Those that had been Impregnated I altered to only produce one of three specific castes. Warriors, Scouts, and Workers. Chrysalis herself I gave the honor of birthing my Inqusitori. They will be of my royal blood and bound by it.

Entering into my tower, I placed one of the worker queens at the base. Then I ramped up her gestation. To her, I gave the task of building a new warren. One that was fit for the reborn changelings that I would design.

Her sacrifice will be remembered.

Her children burst from her flesh, as she birthed them. Her dying breath giving them their orders, even as they consumed them. As my darling Chrysalis snuggled against my chest she hummed her approval of my actions.

"I am glad that my husband is more ruthless than me," She muttered, "I finally found someone that was more of a monster than I am."

Shushing her back to sleep, I watched as the worker drones burnt themselves out to lay the foundations we needed, consuming themselves to fuel the construction. Descending into the pit I marveled at the smooth surfaces and the quality of the tunnels. Reaching the central chamber, I commanded the lesser queens to enter their chambers. Placing my beloved at the front of the longest tunnel, I turned back to those that were left.

"I will remake all of you. You will be the backbone of what the changelings will become. I thank you in advance for your lives."

All but five I made into the nursemaids that would tend to the queens. I gifted them extra limbs and removed their will, linking each to their respective queens. Their wings I removed, converting them into mammaries that continually produced the food the larvae would need. Their necks I diminished until the faces rested on their shoulders. Redesigning their leg structure I made them walk as ants. Each of their limbs terminated in hands.

Going back to Chrysalis, I smiled as I saw the changes begin to take effect. A rapidly engorging abdomen had taken the place of her lower half. Her upper half remained the same, save that her breasts had become swollen with the nectar she would feed our children. Her vagina I moved to a second throat inside her mouth. Thus she could be pregnant and impregnated at the same time. Her brain extended out the back of her skull, encircling her spine. I connected it to the lives growing inside her. What they knew she would know as well. I gave nerve endings and threaded sinews into her hair, thus enabling her to use her own hair as a limb. I then made it stronger than steel. Her eyes I left. That I might gaze into them as I liked.

"You are my wife of the shadows," I swore to her, "you will be loved and honored forever."

Gathering together those I had left, I ascended to my ritual chamber. Placing each of them in one of five alcoves, I began my work. Necromantic energy combined with Biomancy to etch my circle into the floor. Connecting each Changeling to the magical circuits, I removed their eyes but doubled the efficiency of their Alicornae Systems. Removing their wings and fusing their legs together, I then streamlined and enhanced their horns. Their nervous systems I linked to the circuits and through the circuits, each other. Their arms, I lengthened and added an extra knuckle on their hands. Each of their brains I elongated as I had Chrysalis', but removed their emotional centers and need for rest. I then slaved their minds to myself.

"I am almost ready to begin," I sighed to myself, "But Discord is due for a visit and I need to wait for some of the Changelings to grow. Until then I must rest."

I was awoken by the warm wonderment of a mouth on my cock. Opening my eyes, I was greeted by the wonderful sight of Chrysalis engulfing my member. I smiled as I watched her in silence, the bobbing of her head enhanced by the tongue she had coiled around my shaft. Never allowing the head to leave her mouth, I soon gave her the treat she had so worked for. As my load shot into the back of her throat and she began to gulp, the haze of sleep cleared from my mind.

"You're Chrysalis' firstborn, aren't you?" I inquire.

"And I am also Chrysalis," She explained, "We are a communal hivemind, after all. All thanks to you."

Climbing into bed with me, she whispered into my ear, "But I am also myself, daddy. And, as an infiltrator, it's impossible for me to commit incest. Because I can change my very genetic code."

Taking me into her hand, she moaned as she felt me hardening again, "Mom is still reeling from the last fucking you gave her. All us infiltrators have her memories imprinted on us, you inadvertently made sex-slaves of all your progeny."

"That's assuming it was accidental." I cooed to her.

Pulling her close, I silenced her by kissing her deeply. Releasing her, I helped her mount me. We both gasped as my cock slid into her depths, "Might I know your name, daughter?"

"We don't have names," She sighed, "I am my mother and myself, therefore there is only Chrysalis."

Any further conversation was stopped as she began to rock her hips, while internally she shifted her pussy to clench her prize tightly. I groaned as she jerked me off while I was inside her. Reaching up I grabbed a hold of her breasts, earning a gasp from her as I began to knead them.

"Ahh, Daddy!" She cried, "Fill me up!"

Her convulsing pussy drove me over the edge as I emptied myself for the second time inside her.

Her face shifted, a much older being looking through younger eyes.

"Hello beloved, did you like my wake up call? Our firstborn will guard you and keep you satisfied. She will carry your seed down to me, where I will receive it. I took the liberty of assigning the workers, warriors, and scouts to duties around the tower. However, I'll need more information on how you want the infiltrators to proceed before I hand out those orders.
Also what is that other intelligence I sense in the castle?"

All through her update, Chrysalis kept milking me of my seed. As I was finally empty, she curled up next to me. Processing what she said, I thought over my answer carefully.

"I have no problem with anything you have done. The intelligence you sense is my Necromantic circle. Five of our subjects were volunteered to become a permanent part of that project.

Chrysalis giggled next to me, "You are a monster... But you're my monster."

"I most certainly am," I reply, "How far away is Discord?"

Chrysalis rose up to look me in the eye, "How in the hell did you know he was on his way?"

"Because he has no influence of control over me, therefore he has to keep tabs or I might hurt his other friends."

Both mother and daughter looked down on me, stunned.

"Beloved/Daddy? Did you actually predict what the Lord of Chaos would do?"

"I absolutely did," I snark, "now help me dress. I must be ready for when he arrives."

I laugh in the face of the shocked Draconoquess. His jaw is laying on the floor as a result of the tale of my activities.

"Oh C'mon," I nudge him with my elbow, "She has her full intelligence and is happy. Our children will enable me to push for the changes I need to improve the Equestrian military. You really can't be that fucking surprised at my actions. I know you checked up on me, I wasn't exactly the greatest example of humanity to begin with."

Discord cranked on a handle that had formed on the back of his head, with much grinding of gears his mouth was jacked back into place.

"And who else has to be sacrificed for your plans to work?" He snarled, "What you're doing could destroy everything you want to protect."

"Real Irony having you to be my conscience," I snarked, "But to answer your query, only the broken. Only my subjects need to be sacrificed. Because that is what we do. We break ourselves and sacrifice to get what we want. No price is too steep for one of mine to pay. And you're right. Sometimes that means we lose what we want in the process of protecting what we want."

"Then who else is on your list of broken?"

"Fluttershy is not on it."

Discord recoiled, "That's not what I asked."

I snorted, "It's what you wanted to know. Anything else would be spoilers. And no one likes spoilers. So stop being a spoiled sport, I do need your help."

"My help?" Discord reprimanded, "You know very well I am limited on my intervention. If I interfere my opposite can too. Or did you forget?"

"I didn't forget," I snickered, "All I want you to do is go and snuggle with Fluttershy for the next three days."

Discord glared at me, "Too good to be true, where's the catch?"

"I need you distracted and Fluttershy will keep your attention. She's the only one that ever has. Isn't that right?"

Discord snarled, "Are you trying to use my Fluttershy against me?"

"Oh Fuck no," I reassure him, "Fluttershy is out of bounds, but you draw eyes to me. Eyes I am not ready to be seen by. I need them turned away. And if you are staying with Fluttershy no one will dare to disturb you with pesky questions. No one is that terminally stupid."

"Not going to swear me to secrecy?"

"PFFFFT!" I shook my head, "We both know the worth of that promise. Either one of us would slither right out of it. Go bang your marefriend and don't leave her house for the next three days. That will suffice. And I will owe you one."

"A favor from Prince Malem for staying out of the game for three days?" Discord muttered, "My alternate would have to withdraw for that time as well. Alright Malem, I will do as you ask. But please try to limit the collateral. You can only spin so much depravity to the Princesses. And in three days I will take you to them. That is my one stipulation."

"Agreed, I won't victimize any race ponykind cares about," I grin as I shake his hand, "We have an accord, now get fucking going. The sooner you're with her, the sooner I can get to fucking work."

"Nice doing business with you," He laughed.

Snapping his fingers, Discord was off to attempt crossbreeding.

Stepping out of the shadows, Chrysalis wrapped her arms around me.

"What is your other reason for asking him that?" she murmured in my ear, "You never have only one reason for doing anything."

"Ponies can crossbreed with any natural race," I answer, "And I enhanced his sperm to counter any and every birth control I could think of. He has no way to sense my Biomancy and the changes were too minute to notice. And besides, with what is coming, doesn't our resident god deserve to have something precious to go home to. There will come a time when he has to take the field, I want him to have a family behind him."

The embrace ended as Chrysalis receded. I smiled at my daughter.

"Come," I say, "We have a specter to capture."

Entering into the chamber, with my daughter at my side, I examined the energy humming within the circle. Two scouts came forward, carrying a chest.

"Thank you Low Queen Odonata," I smiled, "Leave the box and then vacate this room."

The two scouts nodded in unison as they set the box at my feet and beat a hasty retreat.

"Come here daughter," I beckon, "It is time for your task."

Reaching inside the chest, I gave my daughter the single contents. Placing my dagger in her nimble hands, I drew out an antler tipped with a gem. Placing my hand on her chest, I began to make modifications to her. Two sockets appeared on her forehead. Wierd sigils wrote themselves across her skin, only to disappear just as quickly.

Withdrawing my hand, I smiled proudly at her.

"Accept the power that is your birthright as the daughter of Prince Malem and Queen Chrysalis" I intoned.

Placing the dagger on her hip, she withdrew the Antler I had given her. In her other hand, she held something else. It was red and curved, looking more like a blade than a unicorn's horn. Rasing them both to her forehead, she nestled them both into their perspective sockets. As the power in those twin artifacts flared, I shoved her into the circle. My daughter screamed as the assimilation took place, the horns producing plumes of steam where they burned through her skin to bond with her skull.

Shaking herself slightly, she screamed again as green and red eyes threatened to overtake her.

"You will not devour me," She snarled, "I will devour you."

The magic of the circle flared as she drew on its power. A male voice echoed from her as she fell to the ground, black crystals piercing her body from the inside.

"How do you have this kind of power?" It yelled, "I will tear you apart before you can devour me, King Sombra will be reborn!"

"Stop playing with your food," I order my daughter, "time goes short and we have much to do."

Her chuckle could freeze water, "I am sorry father, It seemed only fair to let him think he had a chance."

The black crystals began to flake away as my daughter breathed in their dust. The black and green eyes faded as my daughter flexed her power. Without a word and without incident, Sombra was gone.

"The first trial is done," I smiled, "On to the next."

The monster lays bound in the center. My daughter strides up, I see her stiffen as she recognizes the creature.

"THe pony of shadows," She sighs, "I suppose Sombra and My mother would be the only ones to know the truth. I wonder how my father called you from limbo and what happened to the pillars."

The creature glared up at her, seeing the dagger it shuddered.

"You only wanted to help them Stygian," She lamented, "But those that seek harmony's path seldom see what those behind the scenes must do to assure that they can remain noble."

I watched as the pony of shadows eyes ceased glowing, for just a moment Stygian's eyes looked back.

"I can't give you what you want," She apologized, "the darkness must be made whole. And it will be. The lord of the broken has come. And he will give the broken their home. Or he will end their suffering. You never had control. Your suffering must end."

The dagger rises and the dagger falls. Blood pools under the frail pony that had been Stygian. The shadows leap into my daughter, she staggers but does not fall. Her will is absolute and she brings those shadows to heel.

"Excellent," I gloated, "That's my baby girl. The second trial is done. The sacrifice is made, let us see what we shall reel in. The third trial will now commence."

Darkness swirls within the circle, looming over my daughter. Poisonous green eyes glared down upon her. A mouth full of teeth gave her a smile that didn't reach the eyes.

"What is this?" Nightmare Moon mocks, "One such as you seeks to bind me? I'll give you points for bravery girl if nothing else."

"Well then," My daughter mocks back, "Then it won't cost any of your time to subjugate me. After all, you subjugated Princess Luna didn't you."

The specter snarled, "I would watch your tone with me girl. I am not to be trifled with."

I could feel my daughter's grin even with her back turned to me, "Why? You're nothing more than a parasite that was so weak-willed it imprints the personality of its host. Luna wanted acknowledgment, therefore you want to rule. Even when Rarity hosted you it was her desires you followed. Without a guiding will, you're left with only the desires of your previous hosts. None of them were ever yours. Why should I respect such a being, such a thief? A being of bluster and stolen moments. You're barely worthy of my pity."

The Dark Specter rages at my daughter, "You Dare! I will show you what I am capable off!"

I hope my smile and my pride carry across the circle to my daughter, even if my words can't.

"You have her," I crow, "I knew you could do it."

"As if there was ever any doubt," Chrysalis coos into my ear, "She's our daughter after all. One of whom I'm very proud. I look forward to what she'll name herself."

"Then you've cut her off from the overmind?"

"Everything you saw from the moment she hugged you until now has been her. She will dominate that pathetic spirit, she will improve the collective as its newest queen. Her children will be an amazing asset."

"They will take the place of honor as my Templari. She will join you as my other Shadow Wife. But we must wait until this last step. You left my seed in her correct?"

"As you commanded," My love whispers to me, "She'll be ready to produce larvae as soon as she ascends."

Our conversation ends as Nightmare descends upon our daughter, I know that my wolfish smile is mirrored on both the woman wrapped around me and on my own daughter. Silence reigns as darkness obscures her, the seconds ticking by. Neither her mother nor I dare speak, something sacred is about to happen. To speak would be to tarnish it.

The runes I had written onto my daughter begin to glow as I hear her first words as a Queen.

"Gotcha," she cackles, "No mere parasite of such weak mind could conquer me. I am Queen Eclipse, I rule with my mother as my father's co-queen. We shall bring the broken home. The forgotten will be remembered. Their suffering eased. Or ended. Because no being deserves to be alone."

Chrysalis' tears of pride mirrored my own as Queen Eclipse stood before us. She fell into my arms as her deeds took their toll. Her mother joined me in holding her tight. The pride flowing into her through our arms.

I kissed the top of her head, as I whispered, "You did good, kid. Go get some rest, you will join your mother in the central chamber soon enough. But until then sleep as your body adjusts to the changes."

I reach out and tweak her a bit. Her transformation into a Queen will wait until her body grows accustomed to her new power. Forcing things too quickly would drive her insane.

Smiling as I watch my two favorite ladies lean together, I share a point of information with them.

"The pillars are fine. They're currently being held in suspended animation and will be released into the care of the Princesses when I meet them."

I laugh as they stare back at me. Leaving the room, I head back to my room. I have much to plan. Discord failed to notice the way I phrased my response. There is a race that ponies don't care about. One that is too pathetic even for their pity. One that they don't notice unless it inconveniences them. And even then only until it's gone.

I am going to begin the enslavement of the Diamond Dogs.

Author's Note

Alright, here it is. This is longer than I intended and I could've split it into two chapters. But I wanted all of this done here so that I can proceed to the next part of this arc. The subjugation and enslavement of the Diamond Dogs. By the way, each chapter is a day, unless noted otherwise. That's right, he's been in Equestria for Two Days!

As Always,

All Hail the House Of Ren!!!!!

Prince Malem stood in front of the first batch of Inquistori. Watched them practice hunting, the group mind of his wife, keeping them well coordinated. Shaking his head, he called them forward.

"We have a bit of a problem," He sighed, "The Overmind that controls you is a very effective Ambush Predator. She is not a soldier. This leads me to my first order of business. Go into the crystal empire. The soldiers there are from a much more brutal time. Several of them fought under Sombra."

Pausing to let his words sink in, he continued, "Make individualized personalities for yourselves. Do not pose as Thorax's brood. Do not take captives. Infiltration only. If you get captured, silence yourself."

Looking for any lack of understanding, he smiled when he found none.

"You are there for two purposes. To gain training as soldiers that can be transferred to the rest of the Templari. And to strengthen and guard the minds of the crystal ponies. Our enemy will use mental attacks to convince the Equestrians to surrender to them. To be good little slaves. You are to prevent that. I am going to be changing all of you to have children as the ponies do. And to be linked in your own Hive mind."

He looked into all of their faces, these daughters of his. This would likely be the last time he would see them.

"The first modification is to allow you to spread your genetic code among the Crystal Ponies. Their isolation will have lead to a lack of genetic diversity that will weaken them The Second is to protect the rest of the Overmind in case you fall."

The Inquisitori before him nodded as one, then were gone. The changes he had induced would be done by the time they arrived.

Walking over to his beloved, he stared up at what he had done to her. Observed her pulsating abdomen and immobile form. Thought about the children he'd just sent to their probable deaths.

"Do you ever hate me for what I have done?" He asks her, "Because I do."

A slap resounds within the chamber. Chrysalis glaring down at him. Red marks on his face showing where she connected.

"You do what all rulers have ever done. What I have done, time and again," She snarled, "You have damned yourself so that others can have the luxury of condemning you after the fact."

She shuddered, "You know what we shall face. Sparkle and her friends, although powerful, will fall. Celestia and Luna will be reduced to broodmares. Cadence will be corrupted into a goddess of whores. Shinning armor will be her keeper. I don't want to even think about what those creatures would do to Flurry Heart. The Stallions will be brainwashed into misogynistic rapists and the Mares into willing receptacles."

Glaring down at Prince Malem, Queen Chrysalis pronounced her verdict.

"If you waver, that is what will happen. That will cover Equestria. And nothing good will rise again. Dainn and Grogar will make sure of it."

Her eyes softened as she whispered, "You made it so that no more of my children need be born dead. That the larvae will thrive and grow strong. And you didn't ask me to change who I was. You excepted me as I am."

Reaching out with her hair, she lifted her beloved.

Staring into his eyes she continued, "You even courted me according to my own rules. You established your strength and then force my submission. I could never hate you and I'll not stand for you to hate yourself."

Raising him even higher, she reaches out and undoes his pants. His cock even with her mouth.

"Besides," She moaned, "I haven't had my breakfast yet."

Staggering from the chamber after my beloved was satisfied with her 'meal,' I make my way to my ritual chamber. Already my mind is bubbling with the problems before me.

First, I need a way to find the Diamond dogs. Second, a way to rule them. And Third, a way to give them my orders without ever being in their presence.

Reaching the circular room, I glared at the 6 alcoves and the beings within them.

I really should refer to them in the singular, technically they are all one being. But them just feels appropriate.

Kneeling at the base of the circle, I began to rework the runes.

A little Necromancy here, Biomancy over there, and Blood magic to fuel it.

"Now I just need some raw materials," I mutter to myself, "I can't waste any more changelings. Not until their numbers are much higher."

Beginning to pace, I ran my fingers through my hair. Shaking myself I took a breath.

No more self-pity, or half measures. Time to put my resources to work.

"Queen Eclipse, I have need of thee," I command. "Come to your father at once."

A much thicker Queen Eclipse strutted out of the shadows, her transformation well underway. She wore a slip of the thinnest fabric, the shadows dancing around her. I watched her as she knelt before me, giving me a clear view of her cleavage.

Smiling down at her, I dropped my pants. Darting forward my daughter soon had my cock in her mouth to the root. Massaging my sack as she inhaled me, she waited for further orders.

"I am going to need you to take your place next to your mother sooner than planned," I order, "Your first-born Larvae will be brought to me. Afterwards I want you to begin full production of the Templari."

Pulling her mouth from my shaft, I spun her around.

"Bend over and touch the ground," I snarl, "I want your pussy one last time."

"Yes Father," She moaned as she obeyed.

Raising her skirt, I smiled as I saw her bare pussy, "Such a good girl, always ready to be used by daddy."

Slamming myself deep into her, I began pounding her as I triggered the last of her changes. They would begin as soon as she stood next to her mother. Slapping her ass, I trusted into her even harder.

Her moans filled the room, as she cried out, "Yes Father, fill up your slutty daughter. I will give you anything and everything you desire. I am yours, I belong to you. I am your to use as you will, in all things."

Feeling myself swell within her, I gave one last thrust as we both came. My fluids being absorbed directly into her body. Raising her up, I tore her clothing from her. I began kissing her neck as I fondled her tits. The moans she gave off made me smile. My shaft slowly softened and slid out with a vague popping sound. Allowing my lower arms to wrap around her, I began finger fucking her. Her ample ass rubbing against my bare cock had me hard in seconds.

"Daddy Please," She begged, "Stick it in my ass. Use the last hole of mine you never touched."

Smiling I pulled back just enough to line my dick up with her rectum. Pushing slowly forward, I felt her sphincter give way

This is why shapechangers are the best, they are only as much virgins as they wish to be.

Hilting myself inside her, I began thrusting into Eclipse once more. My balls slapping against her back legs. My hands continue to stimulate both her tits and pussy. Angling her ass more towards me, she used her sphincter to gobble more of my cock.

"The cock that made you is going to fill up your bowels," I snarled into her ear, "Who's slut are you?"

"I am daddy's slut," She promised, "only daddy's slut, no one else's."

Speeding up, I soon rewarded my daughter by painting her bowels white as she came from my ministrations. Kissing her on the back of the neck again. I held her until her feet were steady. Once they were, I released her.

"Go do as I told you," I ordered as I slipped my pants back on.

"Yes Father," She sighed, "I will do as you command."

Walking away, she descended into the central chamber, there to take her place as my Co-Queen.

Making my final adjustments to the circle, I smiled. This was going to be fun. Hearing the skitter of many legs behind me, I turned to the Nursemaid my daughter had sent. In its arms, it held a nursing larva. The immature changeling seemed to be clothed in whisps of shadow, lesser forms of the twin horns of my daughter graced the child's head.

"Take her to the center of the circle," I ordered it. "Hold her as I work."

Dutifully the nursemaid rested at the center, my daughter continuing to nurse. Reaching out with my power, I began to cast. Our bond of blood solidified as I accelerated and changed her growth.

So much easier to work with family.

Shrinking her slightly, I enhanced both her alicorn and nervous systems. Destroying her brain, I adapted her nervous system to take over its function. Switching her vagina to a cloaca, I adapted her reproductive system to produce those like her.

now to work on the rest of her.

I extended her mouth and tipped her tongue with a spike. I then adapted her digestive system to live off of blood and cranial fluid. I removed the chiton from her body as I added its mass to her head. Making sure that it came to a sharpened point. Her lower body, I narrowed and gave multiple sharp grasping legs. I finished her alterations by lengthening her lower body and added segments of bone armor

Alright, On to the nursemaid.

Reshaping the nursemaid, I returned its upright posture and reshaped its front hands to better burrow through rock. Taking its eyes completely, I added whiskers and enhanced its senses of hearing, touch and smell. In addition, I add sonar and a primitive heat sense. I enhanced its back legs and made its middle arms more articulated. I finalized my design by adding an extra knuckle to its hands and made the entire creature double-jointed.

Best keep the changes simple for now. I can make updates as I see what works.

"Give my daughter over to me."

Taking my daughter I sheath myself fully inside her. Thrusting quickly, I soon empty myself into her cloaca.

And thus the enslavement of the Diamond Dogs begins.

Returning her to the Former Nursemaid, I give my latest creations a good look. Nodding approvingly I proceed.

"Seek out the warrens of the Diamond dogs," I order them, "My daughter's progeny will convert them to our cause and you will protect her until she does."

Watching as my creature lopped off with my daughter, I smiled.

Things are going exactly as I planned. Best get to work, I only have about a day and a half left.

Standing once more before Chrysalis and Eclipse, I smiled up at the two of them. It was time to fortify my position.

"Chrysalis, I would like you to coordinate between the three warrior queens and the three scout queens. We need to establish what in these broken lands we find ourselves in is ally, enemy, or a resource. I want groups of 3. Two warriors, two scouts."

Turning back to Eclipse, I thought a moment.

"Daughter dearest, your task is to first guide the three worker queens to establish food production. The changeling species no longer exist on pure love. We are going to need farmers, fishermen, and others to start production.

Pacing a moment, I ran my hand through the messy mop of hair on my head. Eyeing the both of them, I continued my orders.

"Also we need to set up the ability to manufacture. Particularly handheld long-range weaponry. Currently, our warriors can grow whatever weapon or armor they need. But that only covers melee. We need the ability to strike our enemy from afar. Battle magic has never really been the changeling way. Nor do I have the inclination to change that."

Smiling up at both of them, I put my plan into action.

"When the next batch of your Templari and Inqusitori mature send them on a mission to begin collecting the discards of the towns. See what they can get. It would be easier to adapt designs than it would be to design from scratch. Give them to the workers to see what they can figure out."

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Beloved."

A notification from my ritual chamber turned my smile into a grin.

"I must handle the next of our moves on the board," I explain, "I know that you will perform well with the tasks I have given the two of you. Also, I want to make this clear. We're a family. If you need help from each other ask. If you need my help ask. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Beloved."

Spinning on my heels I went to answer my summons.

Images of mining carts hang over my circle. Diamond Dogs of various breeds labor through the mines of the den.

Hello proper resources. And those picks and machinery mean they know how to forge and manufacture. It's all in good working order so they also know how to repair. How can everyone ignore these guys? The only reason they're aren't more powerful is they don't have the ambition.

My daughter is placed on the ground. I smile as I watch her scuttle off. She signals out a Dog farther out from the others. Jumping onto his back from behind, she pierces directly into his brain with her mouthpiece. Slipping her tail down his spine, her legs penetrate into the spine.

Bingo, time to get started.

Several small worms dropped into the dirt as she gave birth to her first batch. Burrowing down into the soil, I smiled as I knew that this warren was mine. Each of her larvae had her full capabilities and were pregnant from birth. They only needed time to grow.

Now that you have your host sweetheart, it is time you mature.

Shadow and Darkness enfolded the male Diamond Dog as green magic arced over the body. Soon the Diamond Dog was remade. No longer male, the female that stood in its place was leaner and stood straighter than the rest. A deers antler stood proudly in the center of her forehead. Gone was the parasite that had was barely intelligent.

Now assert your dominance.

Walking into the center of the mining operation, her horn glowed green. A black corona formed around her as the green energy leapt from dog to dog. Each that the green light touched fell under her spell. Each knelt before her as those she had birthed took them. Future generations would have longer gestation, but any that came from her would mature rapidly. Each dog changed and soon Horned Dogs of various sexes had sworn their allegiance to my daughter.

"You Are Queen Alexandrite, mother of the Parasitum. The Third and Last of the High queens. You shall remake them all. The nursemaid is yours, make more of that template as you will."

She turned back, her eyes flickering red and green. Chiton melded with fur on her chest and rose in segmented plate to form a hood around her skull. Twin dog ears graced either side of her head.

"Thank you father, I shall do your bidding. Your orders are written into my very cells. The Diamond Dogs shall become The Horned Dogs and will accomplish the task set before us," She swore.

The feed cut short as I felt the twin arms of Eclipse and Chrysalis clutch onto me."

"My daughter, Alexandrite the Great," Eclipse sighed.

"I am so glad to have such a capable Grandchild," Chrysalis chuckled, "Barely a day old and already conquering a kingdom. At last, I have children I can be proud of. And a Mate that will give me more."

"Give us more," Eclipse corrected, "It's not fair of you to keep father all to yourself."

"I believed that was self-evident," My Beloved reassured my daughter.

I really need to get a lock for this door. There is too much estrogen in my mancave.

Manipulation

Prince Malem Awoke on the final day of Discord's deadline, two bodies lay in his bed. Sighing, he settled back.

"Awaken Chrysalis and Eclipse."

Twin snorts echoed into his bed chambers as his wives came to consciousness.

"Yes, Father," mumbled Eclipse.

"Yes, Beloved," Groaned Chrysalis.

Both of his bed partners gripped him tighter, their eyes still closed. Malem sighed again.

"Discord arrives later today," Malem tried once more, "I have to coordinate some last-minute tasks between the three of you,"

Their ears perked, the two females rose from the bed. Stretching silently, they began to dress. Eclipse slid a blue slip of ethereal fabric around her figure. Chrysalis slipped into a green pair of pants, a black corset slipped on for support. Malem once more adorned his black pants and grey vest. The trio moved into the ritual chamber, chrysalis and eclipse taking up their stations to either side of him. The screen lit up to display the final of the three High Queens.

"First I am going to reassign responsibilities and finalize the hierarchy. Queen Chrysalis is responsible for and has absolute control over both the Inqusitori and the scouts. Queen Eclipse will be heading the Templari and the Warriors. Queen Alexandrite will be responsible for the Parasitum and the Workers. I will resolve any conflicts between the High queens."

Upon not hearing any questions, he moved on.

"Queen Chrysalis, I want you to begin directing the Inqusitori to move closer to the senators and nobles within Canterlot. I need you to use them to lobby for a more effective military. Hedge more towards persuasion, but if you find somepony that won't listen to reason replace them. I need this done within a year."

Taking a breath, he addressed Queen Eclipse, "I need you to begin using the Templari to convince any monsters to side with us. I don't mind if they decide to stay neutral, but any that directly serve Grogar or hurt ponies I want you to kill. I do not wish for a surprise from within. Also, I wish you to set up outposts of warriors in the Everfree, at the edge of the Crystal Empire and within the Badlands."

Finally, he raised his eyes to Queen Alexandrite, "I need you over the next five years to quietly expand the DIamond Dogs tunnels and increase the number of access points. They may be needed for shelters for the Equestrians if the worst comes to pass. The conquest of the Diamond Dogs needs to be done with the year. Once the conquest is done, I need you to start manufacturing the armaments we will need to defend against the caribou."

Addressing the room again he finalized his orders, "All other commandments you have been given are still in effect. Except where they contradict the ones I just gave. Are we clear?"

"Yes, Father."

"Yes, Beloved."

The projection shut down as Chrysalis and Eclipse left the room.

Staring back at the ritual chamber, Malem tilted his head slightly.

"It occurs that I never gave you a name," he snarked, "You are my only son after all."

"I didn't want to press father," the voice echoed into his mind, "you and everyone else was so busy."

"Your name shall be Prince Intellectus," Malem decreed, "But keep your intelligence a secret between you and me. Revealing you at this point would lead to complications."

Feeling his son's silent acquiescence, Malem turned to greet the oncoming Lord of Chaos.

I stand at the top of my tower, overlooking my lands for the first time.

"I have never seen a bigger hive of scum and villainy," Malem mutters, "Which means I and the family are going to fit right in."

Following the lines of my lands, I could see where they evened out and border Equestria in the southwest. Turning Northwest I could observe the rocky badlands, spots of green showed the determination of Prince Thorax's agricultural program. To the southeast, I beheld the ocean that would protect Griffonstone from the oncoming troubles and my own machinations. A glimmering dot was soon seen approaching from Equestria.

"And here comes Discord. Good to know he respects my privacy, instead of just popping by."

"That I do," Discord's voice echoed behind me, "but the current matter lends itself to much haste."

Jumping like a scared cat, I shrieked at Discord, "You fucking son of a bitch! What the fuck? Why in all of the shit filled monkey's poop slingshots did you have to sneak the fuck up on me?"

"We see why thou dost like this one, Discord," Liquid velvet whispered in my ear, "You both have such a way with words."

Catching the shit-eating grin on the Draconaquees, I took stock of my surroundings. I was no longer on the top of my tower. I was now in the royal court of the Diarchs. Giving one last glare at my friend, I addressed the room.

"Apologies Princess Luna, Discord is getting his revenge for a trick I played on him earlier. I hope my language did not offend?"

The Dark blue-skinned goddess smiled back at me. She wore a low cut simple dress of black that hugged her form. The sweeping neckline and the leg slit in her dress showing off her cleavage and legs. A Silver edged corset served to hold the dress in place. Her crown and jewels serving to accentuate her ample figure. I gulped slightly as I saw how the other Princess were dressed. Princess Celestia wore a similar outfit to Luna, but of white and edged in gold. Her assets were on no less display.

And if the CYOA was correct Celestia wants to be a submissive baby factory and Luna wants to be appreciated. I can work with that.

Princess Cadence was dressed a bit more conservatively. But the sundress she wore did little to conceal her lack of undergarments. Flurry Heart was thankfully not in attendance.

Really don't want to be accused of teaching a kid to swear. And the Flurry Heart Option was more than a little sleazy. Sounded too much like grooming. Still, I wouldn't mind being a favorite uncle. That'd be nice. And Armor always seemed like such a good dude.

And then there was Twilight Sparkle. My brain almost shut down.

Well shit, she pulls off the slutty schoolgirl outfit entirely too well.

Her plaid skirt laid just below her waist, her blouse only buttoned from the middle down. Her breasts straining against the fabric. She tapped her foot rapidly, The flickering of her long legs exposing her pantiless state. The simple jacket she wore did little to hide her cleavage or the purple bra that supported her substantial rack.

"Discord!" Another voice scolded, "That was not a nice thing to do mister!"

Glancing to the side, I saw the rest of the mane 6. Fluttershy looked rather crossly at Discord. Her baggy sweater hung to mid-thigh. I do not believe she wore anything else.

Damn Discord! Fluttershy is fucking smoking hot. And of course, all the rest of them are gorgeous too. I do hope nobody notices how tight my pants are getting.

"I am sure all of us have heard much more colorful language," Celestia answered for her sister.

Thank you for the consideration, Celestia. I am still going to have to spank you though.

Bowing my head to the point, I continued, "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Prince Malem, Alicorn of the Broken. And I am not happy with how you've treated my subjects, Princess Celestia."

"I am not sure what subjects you speak of," The Lady of the Sun deflected, "But I am sure we can come to an accord."

"My terms are very simple," I returned, "You will give over into my keeping all those that languish in Tartarus. You have no idea the proper care of a Manticore. The poor thing barely has enough room to turn around."

"What?!!!!!" A roar came from my side, "Why are manticores being held in Tartarus?"

We all turned to see a Fluttershy snarling at Celestia. If not for the Elements of Honesty and Loyalty holding her back, I am sure Celestia would've been struck.

Discord snickered as he whispered to me, "Dirty pool, siccing Fluttershy on Celestia."

"I knew you'd like it," I snicker back.

"Most of those poor monsters are being kept by those that have no idea what they're doing. Fortunately, I do. Tartarus is no longer your burden. The door that is in your lands will shortly appear in mine. I am denying you any further access. Fluttershy is allowed to visit anytime she wishes."

Discord glanced sideways at me, "She can?"

"Of Course," I smirk at him, "Although the first few times, I would like you to accompany her until I have a safer way for her to travel to my lands."

Celestia sat there, her eyes fixed on mine. Her tongue clicked against her ivory teeth. Enhancing my sense of smell, I could scent her arousal. Assaulting both her and Luna with my musk, I turned to the mane six. Scanning them quickly, I smiled as I saw the fruits of my manipulation on Discord. Looking back to the others, I made sure their cycles stayed in the fertile state. The only end condition being pregnancy.

I have to be careful here. My twin horns let me hide what I am doing. But without Intellectus assisting, I am very limited

Glancing over them, I sighed. Squaring my shoulders, I once more gave my full attention to the Princesses. Making sure that Celestia and Luna had the proper level of fertility, my eyes roved over Twilight Sparkle. Leaving her unchanged, other than what I had introduced in her friends, I glanced at Princess Cadence. Her, I left well alone.

By doing this I am not much better than the Caribou. But Equestria needs to bolster its bloodlines. At least I am giving them the choice of the father of their children. Fluttershy has already made that choice. She will be an excellent mother.

Sighing, I shelved my regrets. Squaring my shoulders, I made myself ready for the next phase of my preparations.

I am going to be a permanent resident of Tartarus myself when this is all over. Discord won't notice what I'm doing as I am not doing anything to directly influence Fluttershy. I will relish being sent to Hell because it means everyone is alive and has enough free will to condemn me.

"It seems we have no choice but to give in to your demands," Luna soothed, "I wonder what else you'll demand."

"Currently I only have a few questions," I answer, "Princess Twilight, I believe you have a mirror that gives you access to another world. Three of those that are my responsibility were exiled there. The Sirens. I believe they are the last of their kind. Other things might have been dropped into it as well. Dark Magic also comes directly under my purview. I will be most appreciative if you can provide me a trip over."

Princess Twilight nodded at me, "I think that can be arranged."

Glancing around the room, I found him. The purple and green dragon I most empathized with.

Oh Spike, you are constantly surrounded by the most desirable mares and they just see you as the assistant. You do much of the work but get very little of the reward. But I think that is all about to end..

Reaching out, I turned up his growth and upped his dragon musk. Then cranked his healing abilities to beyond eleven. On a whim, I started the seed that would grow into an alicorn system.

How is he even alive? Seriously, how does anyone get a cupcake lodged in his ribs? Or a wand inside their tale? And are those apple roots growing into his brain?

"I wonder Prince Malem," Princess Celestia stammered, "Won't you stay the night in the castle? Let us show you a proper pony welcome?"

"What a splendid idea," Princess Luna crooned, "We can make an event of it."

"So you want to throw me a Pinkie Party?" I ask, "I heard they don't stop. Is this true?"

"You know it Big M," The pink pastry pony smiles, "We had to fight for that right."

A pink spaghetti strap top strained to hold her breasts inside as blue bootie shorts clung to her hips. A slight muffin top bulge from underneath the short shirt. I caught my eyes before I had to explain why I was ogling her cleavage.

Smiling I nod, "I will have to remember to see if I can find some Brass Monkey."

"He is funky," She agrees.

"How do you feel about cider and apple products?" Applejack queries.

Why did I have to choose Lewd as an option? I am so Hard I hurt at this point.

Her trademark straw hat nestled among long messy hair pulled back into a bun. Applejacks red flannel tied underneath her chest. Daisy Dukes barely constrained her lower-half, her muscular legs and ass threatening to burst the seams of the poor abused piece of clothing. Unlike Pinkie, her body was toned and lean.

Taking a breath to banish my hormones, I answered her, "I love cider of all sorts and fritters are yummy. Apples are one of my favorite fruits," I answer, "Oh, and Pinkie? The answer to your questions is whiskey carrot cake with cream cheese icing and a Black Forest Cupcake with a raspberry ganache. My favorite sandwich is Liverwurst and onions with brown mustard and Pepperjack cheese on a cinnamon raisin bagel, toasted. I take my coffee Iced with 4 shots of triple espresso, black. That should cover everything."

"Are we going to ignore the fact that he speaks Pinkie?" Twilight questioned her friends, "No. Only me. Okay, Nevermind. The party aside, I wish to address what you have asked of us."

Narrowing her eyes at me Princess Twilight questioned, "What will you do if we don't give in to these demands? I can't help but wonder what you will do with those inmates. Tirek and Cozy Glow are being held there as well. I am not sure I can trust those two under your control."

Good for you Twi, you managed to focus past the itch between your legs. Something your mentor and her sister failed to do.

"Demands?" I ask, "Is asking for things to be returned to their proper order demands? You're the Princess of Friendship and the Element of Magic. I would never dream of impugning on those responsibilities. Honestly, I am more a janitor than anything else. Those dark beings need someone that understands them. You have not been all too successful in bringing them around. Fluttershy and Spike seem to be amazing at it, but you always kind of falter."

I feel bad for doing this, but I need Twilight on the defensive. She's the only threat in the room. Celestia and Luna what to comply. Cadence is here more for formalities sake, she has no real authority in this. Twilight is the only one I have to convince.

Princess Twilight opened her mouth to refute, but I interrupted her.

"Thorax was already reformed and his first friend was Spike, not you. Ember and the dragons was Spike again. Discord was reformed by Fluttershy. Your friends have a better win ratio than you do. Do the words 'reformation spell' ring any bells or the want-it-need-it incident? And of those wins of yours, how many were non-ponies?"

The young Alicorn paled as I listed her crimes, "How did you...?"

"I am the Alicorn of the Broken. Your sins are mine to read." I smile, "Besides I bought your book. A small bit of research later and I have all I wish to know."

Twilight straightened, "I will not deny my mistakes and failures. They led me to lessons that made me better."

"And that Twilight is the difference between everyone in this room and the Broken," I explained, "The Broken are those that can't learn, can't be better. They will make the same ridiculous mistakes over and again until they are stopped. I ascended after I healed myself. Before I became an Alicorn I was absolute trash. Now I offer to ease the suffering of those that have brought things unto themselves. Thus Tartarus is now mine. You will not reform anyone in that place. Only break them further."

Princess Twilight nods, "I take your point and if you can help the inmates then I have no further objections."

I nod my head, "Thank you Princess Twilight. And for what it's worth, I think you did the best job you could've done. But it's time to let me do my job. Does anyone else have any concerns?"

"I might have a question or two," Princess Cadence replied, "You are the Alicorn of the broken, correct?"

I am not sure I like where this is going.

"That is my title," I answer.

Cadence smiles, "Then Queen Chrysalis would also be under your purview, am I right?"

Time to yank the bandaid off.

"She is currently confined to my tower," I answer, "My Wife has much to answer for and a long path to walk."

Cadence leans forward, chuckling to herself she smiles at me.

Why does she look like a shark?

"So she has found love, then?"

"She has," I answered, "But she has not converted to Thorax's ways. Nor will I ask her to. She will be allowed to find her way and remain herself. I am not releasing her into your care. I know she wronged you, but she is one of mine and I do not give those up."

"I stopped hating Chrysalis a long time ago." She reassured me, "I am glad that she found someone that values her for who she is. Thorax's mother deserves that."

Settling back in her chair, I released a breath I had no idea I was holding.

And this is the mare Dainn turns into the Goddess of Whores? I almost shat myself. If she attacked I would've been a smear. Definitely not messing with her.

Nodding to Cadence in respect, I addressed the rest of the room.

"Anything else, I need to address? Because I was promised a party."

The explosion of the party cannon and the squee of Pinkie Pie smothered any further response as we all found ourselves with drinks in hand.

Pinkie knows her stuff, I never told her that my favorite drink is a vile Russian.

Shortly after I showed Pinkie how to make Painkillers, the party began to wind down. Several of the participants had to be carried back to their rooms. The soberer of the friends making sure the rest got back to their rooms.

Who knew Rainbow dash was such a lightweight? Although she did try to drink Applejack under that table. I'm glad AJ was a good sport about it and carried Dash back to her room. And even as an Alicorn Twilight is an easy drunk. Also apparently a friendly one. Really glad Rarity and Spike were there to take care of her.

I smiled up at Discord as Fluttershy hung off him, the Element of Kindness drunken blush almost made her skin match her hair. Humming in contentment, the young mare pressed herself harder into his chest. Discord's arms enfolded her as he rested his chin on the top of her head.

"I am glad that you two found each other," I congratulate the couple, "You look good together."

Picking up Fluttershy in a wedding carry, Discord glared down at me.

"She is everything precious to me," He confirmed as she giggled in his arms, "I am giving you considerable leeway because I know what we face. Just remember that it's easier to go into the darkness than it is to walk back into the light."

"Yeah," I snark, "But the dark side has cookies."

Discord shook his head as he glanced over to Pinkie coordinating the guards retrieving Celestia and Luna.

"Don't let Pinkie hear you say that," He answered, "One must not taunt Happy Pink Pony."

I chuckle, "Agreed."

Bidding me goodnight, he smiled toothily at me. Clicking his teeth again, he considers the drunken antics of the goddess mares as the guards continued trying to wrangle them. Pinkie seemed to be losing her patience as she tapped her foot, her arms crossed across her chest. Her hair was beginning to deflate.

"Funny that they should get drunk tonight," He speculated, "I know for a fact that both of them can drink like fish. Make sure they are safe before you leave, will you Malem?"

Turning back to face me, Discord failed to see Pinkie begin to snarl. Reaching into her hair, she began to rummage around.

"I promise that I won't leave until they're snug in their beds." I assure the Lord of Chaos, "Just as I am sure you will be doing the same with Fluttershy."

Discord glanced at the pegasus sleeping in his arms, "Did you know that the Equestrian ponies were invaders?"

Pinkie yanked out her cannon, she took careful aim at the misbehaving Diarchs.

"No, I didn't," I replied.

His eyes never left his beloved face, but suddenly I was reminded of how old Discord was. Of how long he had been Celestia and Luna's enemy. Of how history is shaped to the story that survives. And how much he had to be vindictive about.

"I had my own ponies," He sighed, "They were supplanted by the Equestrians. After those two locked me away there was no one to protect my little Discordians. Most were hunted to extinction. Others interbred among the Equestrians. If I was really reformed, I would stop what you are planning to do tonight. I might have even resisted the changes you made in me.
But I guess I am not as reformed as I thought."

Knuzzling against his love, he smiled as a small explosion ruffled his mismatched suit. Behind him, Pinkie I could see reinforcing the restraints on the Princesses.

"I am very proud of the bloodlines that survived," He chuckled, "Remember your promise Malem. The Princesses will be safe in their beds before you leave."

A large bat was withdrawn from Pinkie's hair. Her hair was beginning to rapidly reinflate.

"Am I Clear?" He asked as the child of his people cracked the rulers of his enemies in their heads. Sending them off to dreamland.

Nodding my head, I could only squeak out, "Of Course."

His tail hovered between us, with a snap he was gone.

It took several moments past that for me to remember how to breathe.

Watching as the unconscious Princesses were carted off, I took a breath.

I have to remember not to piss of Discord. He has a rather healthy case of leave alone. Still, he did give me permission to proceed.

Walking over to Pinkie, I Inquired, "You need any help cleaning up Pinkie?"

"No thanks, M." She replied, "Good thing I can only see beyond the fourth wall, huh? Changing the narrative is beyond me."

I froze, "How so?"

"Because I can see what's coming," She looked at me, her eyes held tears, "It won't leave me alone. Not until I talked to you."

"You can't tell me if I succeed or fail then?"

Pinkie sobbed, "All I can say is that there is a possibility we all get out of this. There is a possibility that my Lil Cheese will exist. Get out of here. Or I will try to stop you. You're the only being I've ever met that I don't want to befriend."

I bowed my head, then left to do as I must.

Slipping into a side corridor, I closed my eyes. Hidden runes etched into my skin glowed as I enacted some of the changes I made to myself. Pain ran through my body as my cells went into rapid replication. A mass began to grow out of my back. Clutching all four of my hands over my mouth, I muffled my screams as the mass pushed farther out of my body. The pain eased as the mass fell to the floor. I watched as it began to take form

Standing up, I looked down at myself. His bloody fingers still in his mouth from when he had bitten them in pain.

"So I am the Parthenogenic Clone then?" I queried.

My father nodded, stumbling to his feet. I waited patiently as he leaned against the wall.

"You will go to Luna," He gasped, "I will join Celestia. Do you still have the mental missive they gave to me?"

"The one that shows the way to their room?" I queried, "Yes, it is safely ensconced in our mind."

"Then do what you were made for," Father commanded, "Lest this chance be lost."

Nodding my head, I went to Luna.

Watching the clone of myself I walked away, I shook my head.

That fucking sucked to pull off. My body is still screaming at me. I do not think I will use this particular ability again. I am glad I was able to work the clone having whatever clothes I had on as well.

Straightening myself, I utilized a little Biomancy to heal my self inflicted wounds and banish the pain.

"Sometimes It's good to be the Prince," I snark

Strutting down the hallway, I was greeted by the double doors of Princess Celestia. Knocking politely I slipped inside. Moving into the room, I felt a presence behind me. Spinning around, I beheld Celestia in all her nude glory. Her form blurred forward and I found myself thrown onto her bed. Her mouth on mine as I accepted her tongue. Flicking her hands she teleported my clothes across the room.

"You won't be needing those," She growled into my ear, "I am so glad you excepted my invitation instead of Luna's. I need this."

My lower arms grabbed her by the throat, using my wings to push off the bed I flipped us over. My shaft positioned at the entrance to her pussy. My upper arms pinning her to the bed.

"One of my chief fields of study is Biomancy," I laugh, "I answered both your invitations."

Not waiting for an answer, I began to choke her as I bottomed out inside the eager Princess. Celestia's legs wrapped themselves around me, attempting to pull me ever deeper inside her.

It really is good to be the Prince.

Slipping inside Luna's room, I found it empty. Feminine laughter echoed as a ghostly form danced just outside my vision. Closing my eyes, I opened my other senses, the echolocation I had given myself coming in handy. Flexing my wings, a gust of wind knocked Luna into her bed. Flexing my wings again, I was on top of her. Pinning her arms down with my top arms, I groped her breasts with my other. Leaning close, I whispered into her ear.

"When you invite a Biomancer to your room, be prepared to get well and thoroughly fucked."

Dropping my hand from her left breast I began to stroke her pussy. Ramping up the production of my pheromones, I enswathed her in my smell. Soon she was a panting, moaning mess. Her hips arching to take me into her self.

"I will not enter you yet," I coo into her ear, "I want to know what the Princess of the Night tastes like."

Releasing her, I sat up. Using my four limbs, I easily brought her Pussy to my mouth. A quick casting of Biomancy and I had lengthened and thickened my tongue. Another casting and my saliva was an aphrodisiac. Her moans filled the room as her hands clutched her bedsheets.

"Oh yes!" she screamed, "Use that tongue to worship me!"

I pulled my tongue from her, "Just as my other self is even now worshiping your sister. Never tempt one such as me."

Plunging my tongue back into her, I listened as her objections turned back into moans.

Celestia writhed under me as I continued to plow her through.

"You like it that my other is fucking your sister as I fuck you. Don't you?" I snarl, "I bet you're looking forward to being pregnant alongside your sister. You are such a slut."

"Yes!" Celestia cried, "I want all of it. You have no idea what it's like! I have to be everyone's goddess. Is it too much to ask to be treated like a cock hungry whorse? Now wrap your hands back around my neck and us me like the cum dumpster I am! And don't you dare pull out."

Smiling down at her, I thrust hard as my hands closed around her throat once more. Her legs gripped me tighter as I complied too her demands.

Luna gasped as I eased her back into the bed, moving over her I sighed into her ear.

"Does it turn you on that I had to create a way to clone myself just so I wouldn't have to choose? Because I couldn't. I wrote a whole new branch of Biomancy just so I could be here."

Luna flushed, turning her head to the side she sought to hide her face from me. Using my upper arms to pin her again, I used my lower hand to turn her lips to mine. Kissing her deeply, I felt her buck against my shaft, but I still kept it just out of her reach.

Breaking the kiss, I looked deep into her eyes, I smiled down at her.

"You're so incredibly beautiful," I moaned, "I think that I am the one that got the better Mare."

Sheathing myself inside of her, I entwined my mouth with hers again. Releasing her arms, I raised her up until she straddled my lap. She began to rock on my hardness as I clutched her tightly to myself. I began to thrust into her, meeting her hips as she rode me. I could feel her tighten as I began to swell.

"If I do this inside you will have my child," I confess, "Make your decision."

Luna wordlessly clutched me tighter, her lips silencing any further conversation. As I erupted into her,we collapsed into her bed. Pulling the covers over us, she snuggled deep into my chest.

As I snuck from Celestia's room, I felt my clone turn to dust. I stumbled as his and Luna's activities were written into my mind. Shaking myself, I walked out into one of the balconies. Spreading my wings, I went home.

Conscription

Landing on the top of my tower, I made my way inside. Striding past several of my warriors, I nodded to each in turn. None stopped in their tasks as it should be. Entering into my ritual chamber, I smiled as I saw the new addition. A secondary circle had been placed just outside of the previous one. The room had been made bigger to accommodate.

"Thank you Intellectus," I praised my son, "You have done well."

Inspecting his work, I chuckled at the redundancies.

"Not taking any chances of a prison break are we?" I joked, "It is a splendid gate to Tartarus. I trust that Cerebus was found a loving home?"

"It seemed the prudent things to do Father, We don't want any undesirables in the castle. And I found a lovely home for Cerebus. A lovely rhyming Zebra took him in. Intellectus chuckled, "What or Who would you like me to summon first?"

"Are you still connected to the entire tower?"

"I am."

"Good, I want you to calm all the Non- Sapient monsters that reside in Tartarus. Then release them into the wastelands with an instinct to kill any creatures loyal to Grogar. The Neutrals I want them to leave alone and the ones that are inclined to be loyal I want them to protect. "

It has been done, father. Intellectus confirms.

"Excellent. Now on to the main event of tonight. Summon Tirek and Cozy Glow into the main circle."

I will make it so.

Twin lights exited the gate. Hovering into the center of my Biomantic circle, they began taking shape. Tirek was wizened and spindly. He shook constantly. Cozy Glow glared around the room. Her curls bouncing as her head darted around. She wore a small loose top that draped over her small chest, leaving her belly exposed. Her fuchsia skirt barely covered her ass and showed her cutie mark to the world. Small wings nestled on her back. Upon not seeing her former jailers, her eyes latched onto me.

"Oh gee Golly gosh mister," She said, "Are you going to set me free. They put me down there with no trial. I just wanted to be everyone's friend."

"And that's enough of that," I waved my hand, her mouth disappearing.

Tirek laughed, "Never thought anyone would ever find a way to shut her up. Am I right that you have somehow disabled my Magic Drain ability?"

"Silence," I bark, "the two of you are not here to be interviewed. This is not a parole board. This is an execution. Between the two of you, there is not one good being. I am going to fix that."

Waving my hand, I tore them apart at the cellular level. Extending my mind out, I merged with Intellectus.

"Without you, this would not be possible," I said, "You attaining sapience is something I am exceedingly proud of."

Guiding his will with mine, I gave him my orders.

"This new creation will be yours. Her life linked to yours. For either of you to die, both must. She will serve as your wife and my weapon. Now let us begin. Show me what you've learned."

I could feel his hand stretch forth, his will begin to shape the cells that swirled within the air. Six sets of cloven hooves began to form, everything below the tarsal bones showing no deviation. As the tibia began to form, I realized my son had fused it with the femur. Three legs floated in the air. Glimmers within the hollow bone structure showing the fibers of alicorn that had been interwoven into the bones.

Huh, good way to increase strength while decreasing weight and he has plenty of Alicorn left over. Clever Boy. But where is he going with the concept of three legs? Those legs are useless for walking.

As the hips began to form I saw that he lined the joint up perfectly with the Ischium, three holes in the Illium allowing for nerve connections. Two more hips of the same structure formed, then fused at the end of the Illiac Crest.

Heh, Intellectus has a fair knowledge of anatomy. I wonder how he's going to attach the sacrum to the hip? He left no room for the Sacroiliac Joint. And how is he going to avoid the Coccyx getting in the way of the leg movement? I love that he's continuing to use Alicorn throughout her bone structure though.

Her spine formed perfectly straight, each vertebra fused into position. They lacked any of the processes that protected a regular nervous system. My son's creation seemed to only have the vertebral body and the placement for where the ribcage would join.

"Intellectus," I queried, "I am willing to give you considerable creative license on creating your first consort. But I have some concerns."

It is okay father, I am making a Triptych, Intellecutus clarified, Her Trilateral Symytry means I have to get creative with her structure.

"And her spine would be in the center of her body anyway and would need neither flexibility nor protection," I finished, "Please continue, I am fascinated to see where you're going with this."

Three sets of Ribs formed, each was smaller than a conventional adult. The Sternum became entirely cartilage, fusing with the costal cartilage. Her floating ribs disappeared and her false ribs became cartilage, just like the sternum. Each rib cage shared a joint as they connected to her spine. Biting my lip, I dismissed any questions I might have had.

My son says he has a plan. I believe him. Besides if he makes some mistakes we can just begin again. This is more about seeing what Intellectus is capable of on his own. What I do here is not important to my plans.

Three scapulas began to form, the shoulder blades were non-existent and they had an extra piece of bone that held the arm in the joint. Each scapula settled nicely into their respective spaces where the individual ribcages met.

If he sticks to his pattern, Intellectus will form the arm bones next. I am glad he's sticking to his theme. I should've known he wouldn't design a typical Princess. After all, he's more or less an eldritch horror. I can't blame him for wanting another of his kind.

Surprisingly Intellectus made no change to the three arms he attached. Other than they were a trifle bit longer and shared the same extra joint in the fingers I gave him. They were no different from regular arms.

I am actually proud of him for that. He didn't need to change much to make it do what he wanted so that's exactly what he did. Knowing what not to modify is just as valuable as knowing what to modify.

Here I could feel Intellectus pause. The energy within the circle pulsed as he considered his next move.

And now he will form the head. Heh.

The skull took a vaguely cone-like shape, six eyes equidistantly placed around the circumference. The nasal cavities were halfway between a human's and a pony's, with there being no sign of a mouth. Three Horns crowned her head.

Well she's definitely going to look interesting. I wonder what she's going to eat...

I took a step back, watching as he clothed the creature before me with flesh. He did not include A digestive system. Only now did I have my doubts.

I have a good idea of what she'll consume. The same thing he consumes. Magic. I just let my son create a Thaumavore. This could be bad.

The being before me opened her eyes. Her legs were covered in Charcoal Grey fur. It brightened to pink with red highlights as it climbed her trunk. Her arms were pure white as she swung them around her as if performing. Her silver cloven hooves twitched as she floated a foot from the ground. Pirouetting in midair, she scrutinized the room. A joyful mental laugh accompanied the movement.

So that's how her legs work. The Alicorn that saturates her bones and muscles allows her to violate gravity. The flicking of her legs provides both maneuverability and thrust. I imagine she can use telekinesis and manipulate the surrounding weather as well.

Looking once more at her face, I saw that she had no hair, but her coat lost the red highlights by the time it covered her face. Her eyes had black sclera with pink Irises.

She giggled as she turned the pirouette into a flip, sending her shooting across the room. Dancing through the air, she continued to enjoy her newfound freedom.

"I think it is time you named your consort, My son," I told him, "I will take credit for her creation, thus we will be able to avoid exposing your sapience. She will be yours in fact, I will only need her for her purpose as a weapon."

"He already gave me a name," her airy chuckled descended to me, "It is written into my very bones. I am Triptych. It is nice to be at your service Prince Malem."

Despite myself, I smiled. Triptych continued to dance around the room, twittering as she found new discoveries. I couldn't help but find her enthusiasm infectious.

Tendrils of energy rose from the circle. Encircling Triptych, they caressed her form as she moaned.

Father, might you leave the room. I would like some time alone with my bride. Intellectus insisted, I am sure you have many things to handle.

"Of Course My Son," I agreed, "I will leave you to providing me more grandchildren. I have to go answer for my actions the previous day. I am surprised no one has contacted me as of yet."

Exiting the door, I chuckled as Tryptich's gasps signaled that my son had claimed his mate.

"Just like his dad."

Standing outside the door, I grinned. Everything was going exactly according to plan.

"It should be smooth sailing from here." I remark to the walls, "I shouldn't have to worry about a thing until after the invasion. Now it's just shoring up my position and waiting."

A clearing of a throat behind me interrupted my tempting of fate. A small worker looked up at me, its multiple limbs clacking in anxiety.

"Pardon us Prince Malem," it stammered, "but we would like to know how to proceed with the Pillars."

I stared blankly back at the thing, then firmly planted my right hand into my forehead.

"I really should learn to keep my mouth shut," I lament, "What is their condition at this moment?"

"In stasis but stable," The Drone answered, "but only for another day or two. The pods are nourishing but their muscles will start to atrophy after that."

"Take me to them," I order, "Maybe I can salvage this situation, after all."

Looking up at the pods, I watched as the fabled Pillars of Harmony drifted within green glowing fluids. A smirk on Starswil's face showed that he dreamed of better times. Glowing sigils kept them sedated while I sent out my invitations.

"I look forward to seeing how these self-righteous assholes react to the world I will create," I sneer, "Still, they will make a superb apology to Celestia and Luna. And in the oncoming conflict, their power will be needed."

Another of the Workers skittered up to me, "If it pleases your highness, we strengthened them against mental and emotional manipulation. It will not make them immune, but it will make them highly resistant. You will still be able to manipulate them unhindered, of course."

"Thank you, which Low Queen am I speaking with?"

"Low Queen Alchemia, your highness."

Doing some quick figuring in my head, I addressed the Collective Intelligence before me.

"Ask Low Queen Hellenia to send two of her scouts to Celestia and Luna. Invite the two of them to meet me at my tower.
Coordinate with your two fellow Worker Queens to make ready a good welcome banquet. Something along the lines of a brunch. Don't make it too complicated. Make sure to notify High Queen Chrysalis and High Queen Eclipse that Princess Celestia and Luna are coming. Inform them that I require them attending."

"It will be done, Your Highness."

"Do what you have to do to make sure that the Pillars are ready to be presented when the Princesses arrive. I have made it clear that this is a private matter so no other Princesses will be arriving."

"Absolutely, Your Highness." bowing low, the drone moved away.

I smile as I turn back to the Pillars. Glancing at each in turn, I beckon for Alchemia to return.

"Yes, your Highness?" She inquired.

"I need you to make specific modifications to the Pillars," I chuckled, "Listen very closely..."

Celestia and Luna strode through the doors of my hall. Rising to greet them, I bowed low.

"I thank the two of you for coming," I greeted, "I have a surprise for the both of you."

"More Surprising than when we awoke to find thou gone?" Luna speculated, "I would think as the mothers of your foals we might have warranted more than that."

"Sister please," Celestia mewled, "I am sure Prince Malem had other things to attend to. Making us collars perhaps?"

"Those are on backorder," I promise as Celestia squees, "No, I have another reason for asking you to join me."

Leading the two to the table, I sat them to the left of me. Luna was directly next to me, while Celestia was seated next to her.

"We think we will have to forgive you for letting us sit next to you," Luna gloated, "To think we warrant that much importance to you."

"Of course, it may have been the clone that was sent to you," I flirt, "But I do prefer you to your sister. I love you as I love Chrysalis. Celestia will always be secondary to you in my heart."

Sniffing the air, I shook my head as Celestia grew wetter. Gesturing to the other two chairs, I ignored the solar Diarch.

"I think it is time to introduce you to the rest of the family," I smile, Alright my Queens, time to make your entrance.

Stepping out of the shadows, Queen Chrysalis took her seat to the right of me. Smiling at her former rivals, she greeted them.

"I do hope there will be no jealousy between us Luna. I assure you there is plenty of Malem to go around. I look forward to being My beloved's favored wife with you."

Luna smiled back, "We do not think that will be a problem. We come from a time when herds were the norm after all. We wonder if Thee'd be averse to some bonding time? It is important for herdmates to get to know one another."

"I think that would be lovely," Chrysalis sighed, "Sadly with my reputation, I can only be his wife within the shadows. You can be his wife for the world. I am comforted to know that someone as skilled as you will be looking after our beloved when he is not here."

Luna nodded the point. It was then Queen Eclipse's turn to present herself. Materializing behind her chair, she smiled down at Celestia.

"I am Queen Eclipse, daughter-wife of Prince Malem. I look forward to learning all I can from you Princess Celestia. Please teach me all you can."

Celestia nodded back to Eclipse, "I look forward to spending time with you as well. I find that students often have many things they can teach their mentors. I look forward to seeing what we can learn together."

"Now that we have gotten to know each other better," I interject, "It is time for the surprise I promise the two of you."

Turning around, I signaled for the next group to enter. One representative of the three castes of the workers entered.

"But first introductions. We have Low Queen Terria to thank for the food upon the table," I gestured to the first, "Her drones are the ones that grew this food."

"Her Drones?" Luna queried, "That is not how we remember Changelings operating."

"When I took in Chrysalis's faction, I made changes that would allow them to survive better," I clarified, "The Low Queens are collective intelligences centered around a Queen. The High Queens are similarly structured, but each being is also an individual. An Individual that if given the chance can become a High Queen or find other means of evolution."

Luna nodded, "We see. We imagine it makes them easier to control as well. After all, that structure means they're dependent on you to expand their numbers and to create the circumstance for their evolution. A sensible structure."

Chrysalis laughed, "I knew we would be the best of friends, Luna. Only a proper ruthless bitch could make such an insult sound like a compliment. I am so glad that my mate and fellow first wife understand such things. One of the things our beloved left out is the fact that only the High Queens are allowed to be the consorts of Prince Malem."

Continuing on, I gestured to the next figure, "The Low Queen in charge of setting the table and arranging this setting arrangement is Low Queen ----"

Celestia nodded to Eclipse, "It is nice to have good help. It can make or break an event. I might have to borrow a few drones from ---- for the next Grand Galloping Gala. Just to make sure things go well."

Eclipse smiled, "And to make things more interesting I gather."

Celestia smiled back at the young queen, "I believe you and I will be quite dear friends."

Finally, I signaled to the last of the Low Queens, "This is Low Queen Alchemia. It is she that assisted me in extracting the Pony of Shadows from the astral plane. We also managed to find some others that had been locked away there."

Luna and Celestia paused in their conversation. Luna's ears laid back on her head, while Celestia began bouncing.

"You Found The Pillars!" the princess of the sun squeed, "Isn't that great Luna?"

"We are not sure how our old mentor will react to our fall," Luna answered, "Once a villain, always a villain after all."

Celestia's ears lowered as Luna quoted their old teacher's words, "We will face this together. I am just as much at fault as you. I ignored what I didn't wish to see until it was too late. I have you back, dearest sister. No one is going to take you from me again."

"Well spoken," I say, "But let us not focus on the past, but on the joy that these heroes of old, once more walk the world. Now that Alchemia has given them a complete check-up, I can remand them to your care. I regret that the Pony of Shadows could not be saved. His suffering had to be ended."

All was quiet as the four mares absorbed my words. Celestia and Luna nodded their heads as all four held a moment of silence for a lost comrade.

"Take all the time you need to mourn Stygian," I intoned, "When you two leave, Alchemia will bring the pillars to you. The six of them will be sedated, so you may need to make arrangements. Stygian's remains were destroyed when the shadow that took him from you was. Regretfully I must attend another matter."

Sweeping out of the room before any of my wives could respond, I ascended through my tower. As I reached the ramparts, I extended all four of my wings. With several mighty beats, I sped towards my destination. It was time I retrieved the Sirens. It was time for my appointment with Princess Twilight Sparkle.

Entering Ponyville Airspace, Rainbow Dash's cloudhouse greeted me. Circling past it, I spied through her living room window. Twin shapes rutted on her couch. Slowing slightly, I watched Soarin empty himself inside Dash. I smiled as I moved on by.

Good to know that my magic is at work.

Moving along the edge of town, I coasted over Sweet Apple Acres. Strangely, I didn't see any sign of Applejack. Continuing on into town I observed Rarity and Spike heading out for some gem hunting. The kiss they shared indicated that wasn't all they would be doing.

Good. I am glad at least one other crossbreed will be forming. Discord and Fluttershy's child will have a playmate.

Heading over the town proper, I could see Pinkie bidding an extremely fond farewell to Cheese Sandwich.

That is truly impressive and horrifying that they can bend in those ways.

At last spotting the Crystal Castle, I headed straight for the entrance. Touching down in front of the massive double doors, I was surprised to see them open. Moving inward, I was soon greeted by the Princess of Friendship herself.

"Welcome to my home, Prince Malem, " Twilight flashed her cleavage at me as she bowed low, "If you will walk this way, I will take you to the portal room."

Following after the Princess of Friendship, I took notice of the way of her step. And the fact she appeared to have a light sweat over her coat. Little dribbles of liquid rubbed between her thighs as she kept her legs tightly together. Smelling the air, I chuckled.

Looks like Twilight is doing better than the others at resisting the call of her body.

"As I was approaching your castle, I noticed that Applejack was not around, " I casually stated, "Isn't it the time of year for the Apple harvest?"

Twilight paused, glancing back at me she scowled.

"Apple Jack is away visiting her boyfriend in Appleoosa," She informed me, "Someone named Trouble Shoes."

I nodded, "I am familiar with the Stallion, I was unaware they knew each other."

"She met him at a rodeo. They've been together ever since. Honestly, until the last couple of days, she treated him more like a hookup. But they've recently been moving his stuff onto the farm."

Twilight turned away from me, huffing loudly she continued forward.

"Even Spike has somepony to fuck," I could hear her grumble under her breath, "But the Princess of Friendship is still a virgin. More Like the Princess of Getting Friendzoned.

Entering into her private study, I beheld the portal device. Twilight stepped forward and began fiddling with dials next to the mirror. Several lights began flashing before everything went dead. Twilight stomped her hove in frustration.

"Celestia Burn It," She cursed, "I blew the Thaumoveric Regulator. Now we have to wait for me to repair the thing and for the whole thing to reboot."

"It occurs to me that you appear distracted," I offer, "Maybe I can help with that."

What do you me..." She starts

Moving forward I kiss her on the lips. The Princess moans into my mouth as I pull her close. She squeaks as I give her naked ass cheeks a squeeze.

"I could smell your arousal," I whisper into her ear, "It is affecting your thinking. Why don't you let me cool you down for a bit."

Surrounding Twilight with my Pheromones, I watched as her eyes glazed over. Giggling slightly, she grabbed the bulge in my pants.

"Oh, Celestia yes!" She agreed, "Ever since I heard you fuck Celestia I wanted some of what you gave her."

I smiled as my lower hands felt her arousal truly begin to flow. My upper arms began to turn her towards one of the many tables within the room. Shifting my grip, I soon had Princess Twilight Sparkle bent over a table. Her pussy on full display as she lifted her tail.

"Yes!" She cried, "Fuck me across the table. Do me right here in the library!"

"As you wish," I answered as I sheathed myself inside of her, "But I think this first time will be a quickie."

"I don't care just cum inside me," she exclaimed, "I need it so badly."

Grasping her arms in my lower hands, I pulled them back in time with my thrusts. My upper limbs grasped her head, one of my fingers finding its way into her mouth. She inhaled the digit as my thrusts picked up speed. My cum began to build as I felt her pussy tighten around my cock.

"If I cum inside, you will carry my foal," I told her, "Chrysalis, Luna, and Celestia already do so. Are you sure that is what you want?"

"FUCK YES!!!!!" Twilight screeched, "PUMP THAT BABY BATTER DEEP INSIDE ME."

Slamming one final time into the young Alicorn, I erupted into her. Easing her down onto the table, I smiled as she giggled happily.

"Flurry Heart just got a cousin," She chuckled.

Rubbing her belly she smiled back at me.

I think I overdid it when I gave her that dose of my pheromones. That plus the ongoing heat really messed her up a bit.
As Twilight closed her eyes, I began to detox her body. Cleansing all the foreign changes I had made, with the exception of one. Our child. As with all my other brides, I could sense the life growing within her.

Thus the second set of three is complete. The sirens will complete my family.

As Twilight roused herself, I sat down and began to thumb through one of the books that laid haphazardly across the library.

"Oof," She moaned, "I can't believe I just did that."

Turning her glance back to me, her face turned several shades of lavender.

I chuckled, "Relax Twilight. If you want what we did to be a one-shot thing, then fine. I will still be in my child's life, but we would remain friends. I hope we can at least manage that."

Twilight shook her head as she sat up from the table, "Malem, I am not sure how to say this..."

Turning her head, Twilight hugged herself tightly. Shuddering, she turned back.

"I really enjoyed myself," She finally stuttered, "And I want more of that. If there is room in your herd for one more, I would like to apply for the position."

Rising to my feet, I swept the Dorkiest Princess into my arms. Holding her aloft I crowed my answer.

"Of Course," I exclaimed, "We'd be glad to have you."

Setting her down, I took a breath. Running my fingers through my mop of hair, I slowed my heart.

"But first we need to retrieve the Sirens before they cause any harm. It is not right that Equestrian problems be dumped onto others."

"What do you plan on doing with them?" Twi inquired.

"Reform them if I can," I answered, "No one is meant to be alone in this world. That is doubly true of the Broken. They just can't see it because of the darkness that blinds them."

A ding echoed into the room, lights once more shimmering over the mirror. A book upon a pedestal buzzed as some ethereal message finally was able to punch through.

"Oh Shit," Twilight cursed, "I forgot about Sunset Shimmer."

Running forward, she began scribbling within the magic tome. A buzzing signaled the answering message.

"Alright," Twilight confirmed, "She's ready. We just step through and we will be in another world."

Moving forward, we stepped into the gateway.

Author's Note

Alright here's another chapter. This one took a tremendous amount of time. The high word count plus the sheer load of crap I had to deal with lately made me too tired to write this. But it is done. I am not happy with it. But I do think it is the best I can do, currently. I hope you all like this latest chapter. It was hard to write but here it is in all its messy glory.

All Hail the House Of Ren.

Finding the Wayward Children

One swirling typhoon of nausea later and I found myself staring up at the sky. The grass felt soft beneath me as my head forbade me from moving. A pale yellowish hand grabbed one of my arms as a lavender one grabbed my other side. The two girls hoisted me to my feet.

"Twilight, why does he have 4 arms?" The girl to my left queried, "Why didn't the portal give him a completely human form?"

Taking stock, I realized that she was right, I still retained my quadradexterous limbs. My wings and horns, however, were missing.

"Sunset Shimmer, I presume," I grouse, "I gather it's because the mirror has yet to experience someone like me."

The young girl stepped away from me and Twilight. She was dressed in magenta knee lenght skirt that complemeted the magenta tights that tucked into her black military-style boots. Her blue shirt was emblazoned with a red and orange colored bisected sun that was centered on her chest. The shirt was edged with an opaque frill that hung low bluring the top edges of her skirt. A black studded leather jacket with the collar flipped up completed her ensemble.

"And you must be Prince Malem," She returned, "Alicorn of the Broken. I greet you in the name of Harmony. Please allow me to facilitate your stay."

Bowing slightly she placed her fist on her shoulder.

I smiled, "I thank you for your greeting Ms. Shimmer. I am sorry that we couldn't meet under better circumstances."

"Please Call me Sunset," She replied before glancing at Twilight still holding onto my arm, "Anybody that has such a close relationship with Twilight can count me as a friend. Just realize that it will never go beyond that."

"How wonderful," I chortle, "A proper lesbian at last."

"How do you know she's into girls?" Twilight sputtered, "Is it because she wasn't interested in you?"

"Not at all," I replied, "She's been looking at your tits since we arrived. And when you both helped me to my feet that was not my hand upon your ass."

Twilight turned to her friend, "We talked about this Sunset. I am not into you like that."

Sunset smiled back. Leaning forwards, she snarked, "I am aware. But I just couldn't resist grabbing an ass that perfect. Let alone that you forgot to wear panties, again. Although I must ask, who's semen is all over my hand?"

Twilight sputtered as Sunset waggled her wet hand in front of the Princess.

"That would be mine," I interfered, "But I feel we are getting distracted. I am here to bring the Sirens home. You would know them as Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk. They feed on and cause conflict. So the sooner they're in my custody the better."

Sunset grinned back at me, teasing words beginning to form.

Cutting her off, my voice lowered as I continued, "Even though they are beings born of Dark Magic the three of them are not immune to its effects. They're as much a danger to themselves as others. Something I believe you would be quite empathetic with."

Sunset stiffened, "I beg your pardon? I have been diligent in moving forward with my life. I have friends and people that care for me and I for them. I'm in no way the same power-hungry mare. My past is not today."

I shook my head, "Then you deny half of yourself. That red and yellow sun you wear across your chest is your mark, correct?"

"Yes," Sunset placed her hand over the symbol, "This is my cutie mark. What does that have to do with Dark Magic?"

"It indicates you have a deep connection to the duality of magic. In particular, those that have to do with energy. Such as:
Chaos, Order, War, Peace, Fire, Lightning, Crystals, Light, Darkness, Blood, Psionics, Empathy, Creation, and Destruction. If I had to guess from your personality I would say, Blood, Psionics, Empathy, and Fire would be the ones you'd have the best aptitude for. Although Order and Peace would also be good fits for you."

Sunset snorted, "I see what you like about him Twilight. Hell if I was into dudes, I might've been tempted to take a ride."

Sunset and I both shared a chuckle at Twilight's blushing silence.

"As for the sirens, I unknowingly gave them the tour of CHS today. But school is closed. I have no idea where they're holed up. Tomorrow will be their first full day of classes. So You can talk to them first thing in the morning. My place is close by. Are you two okay with walking?"

I smile, "Where they are is not a problem. I am the Alicorn of the Broken. A simple incantation and I'll be able to locate them anywhere."

Sunset sighed, "Twilight should've mentioned this whole dimension has very little magic. I'm surprised you kept those four limbs. Usually, you'd be converted into a human."

"There is plenty of energy," I replied, "one just has to know how to gather it."

Kneeling upon the ground, I withdrew my ritual dagger. The silver-plated edge glittered in the darkening light. Pricking my finger, I drew a small circle on the white concrete. Whispering some words, I bent the energy to my purposed. A ball of light rose as my blood was consumed. It drifted merrily between the girls, causing them to giggle.

"With this will of the whisp, we can find those that are lost. The sirens have been lost in time and space for some time. I will be more than sufficient to deal with them. You two can accompany me or not. There is not much here that can threaten me."

Sunset stared back, "You just used Blood Magic and Necromancy. Both of those branches are restricted at best. Forbidden at worse. How in Tartarus are you walking around freely?"

I smiled, "Because I know how to not to be corrupted. I don't isolate myself. I build friendships and take lovers. I have lines that I will never cross. This whisp was summoned via my own blood. I could've just as easily grabbed any of the animals around here. What you hinted at before is true. It's what you do that matters."

Gesturing to my summon, I followed after it as it danced away. Soon I heard the footsteps of the two girls behind me. As I walked along, I took stock of what I was wearing. My cargo pants remained, but instead of being bare-hoofed, my feet were clad in army boots similar to the style Sunset Shimmer wore. I wore a long-sleeve work shirt that was covered by a dark labcoat. There was no trace of the glasses I had worn from my previous humanity. The shirt and Labcoat seemed to be tailored for my four-arm build.

"Where did you and Twilight meet?" Sunset queried, "I had no idea that male Alicorns existed."

"They didn't," I answered, "As far as I know I am the first."

"And Twilight snatched you up?" She chuckled, "Damn Twi, I had no idea you were that assertive."

"I also am with Princess Celestia, Princess Luna, and Queen Chrysalis," I silenced her teasing, "Twilight was the last Alicorn to stake her claim."

"That makes sense," Sunset continued, "Celestia and Luna could probably tie for the longest dry spell. But damn, you scooped up the Queen of The Changelings? That is impressive. What about Cadence? Not going to complete the set?"

"Remember that rule thing I talked about," I reminded her, "One of those rules is not to attempt to take that which is not mine. Princess Cadence is already married. To Twilight's brother. Even if I was capable, it would just make everything awkward. Besides, I will have way more fun as Flurry Heart's Coolest Uncle."

I could hear the amusement in Twilight's voice as she spoke up, "You might have some competition from Spike. He's already gunning for that position."

"I wouldn't mind losing out to him," I snark back, "But he is going to have to work for it. I plan on spoiling that child something awful. As does Chrysalis."

As we walked farther from CHS the graffiti on the walls became more prevalent. The shadows of the alleyways became darker, the streetlights more frequently broken. Vandalism touched most of the buildings and storefronts, the security cameras suffering the worst damage.

"Can't say that I'm surprised they live here," I sigh, "With no resources, they probably have to find shelter where they can."

Twilight's voice echoed out, "They didn't contribute to this, did they?"

"I doubt it." Sunset answered, "This part of town was always like this. If I hadn't found my place I would've ended up here as well."

"How do you afford such a nice place, Sunset?" Twilight asked, "You never told me."

"I live there free of rent," She answered, "I act as the maintenance person for my complex. I don't get a salary but I live there for free. My sushi job then pays for the incidentals as long as I stick to a strict budget. My boss Sal is a really good guy."

I shushed the girls as the whisp came to a stop beside a VW bus. The windows were curtained tightly and the engine cooled in the night air. No light issued out from within, but I could hear the whispers of three voices.

"Adagio Dazzle, Aria Blaze, and Sonata Dusk," I challenged, "The Alicorn of the Broken has come to retrieve you. Step out and allow me to take you home."

Three girls stepped out of the bug. I mentally ordered the Whisp to scan the three of them. As it orbited them, I approached. I was disturbed by what my summon informed me. All three were severely malnourished and suffering from extreme Dark Magic poisoning.

"What is this about going home?" Adagio growled, "Why would we be allowed back? We were exiled for a reason. Those damn ponies took our land and we fought back. Then Star Swirl and his Pillars arrived and we ended up here. Keep your empty promises."

Drawing the energy from the whisp back into myself, I glared back.

My words shook with authority as I snarled, "Do Not Dare Doubt Me! I am Prince Malem, Alicorn of The Broken. I regret that one such as me had never arisen. But I am here now. I will guard you against all things. You need not fear from me.

Twilight and Sunset's hands fell on my shoulders. Taking a deep breath I calmed myself. Sonata had taken refuge behind Adagio and Aria. All three quivered, their heads held low.

Twilight stepped in front of me, "Both Malem and I are new Alicorns. Your deeds are well in the past. I think you three have served your time. Come home in peace. With Malem there can be a place for you."

"Submit to me, and I will bring you home," I reassured them, "You three are predators. I am and always will be the Alpha Predator. All three of you could be put to better use. Join my pack."

The Sirens glanced at each other. Silence reigned as they communed. Then Adagio nodded. All three stepped forward. Kneeling upon the ground, they submitted to my will.

"We will join your pack," Adagio acquiesced, "Please take us home. We will do whatever you command."

I smiled down at them, "I happily accept your allegiance. But I feel that you all should be cleaned before I take you home. Sunset, is staying at your place still an option?"

"Sure, Sal allows me to utilize one of the empty one-bedrooms for any guests. He gets a tax break for it, provided no one overstays their welcome. Five, even for a night, might be tight though."

"Twilight can stay with you," I replied, "I'll stay with the Sirens. The two of you have much to catch up on. And I need to cleanse them of the damage their own magic is causing them. It will be harder with another Alicorn there."

Sunset nodded, "I can work that. That okay with you Twilight"

"That will be fine," Twilight replied, "But make it just us. The girls will be a bit overwhelming. I don't want to back the Dazzlings into a corner."

Adagio glared up at Twilight, a snarl upon her lips at the perceived slight. I stared down at her, my bloodied hand gathering a tiny bit of energy. Sonata elbowed their leader in the ribs, as Aria inclined her head towards me. For a moment I saw their fear, then they glanced between Sparkle and me. Understanding banished Adagio's hostility.

"I don't see a problem with that," Sunset answered, "I don't think I could handle the girls. I worked all last weekend and this year has been tiring."

Glancing between the two girls, I sighed. Neither Sunset nor Twilight knew how to interact with carnivores. Never indicate that a predator is weak.

"Rise, it is time you were safe once more," I gestured to them, "I will explain more when we get behind closed doors."

"Yes Lord Malem," Adagio muttered, "I do not like being out in the open like this."

The three rose as one, joining the three of us as Twilight greeted them warmly. Sonata was the sole person that allowed Twilight to hug her, the youngest Siren giggled as she clutched the Princess of Friendship.

"What do we have here?" A dull voice growled, "A group of CHS brats out after dark? Why don't you girls join us? We're much more fun than tall skinny and dorky over there."

A lean young man stepped out of the shadows. Four others of greater bulk joined him. I counted the bulges in their clothing.

At least several knives and one brass knuckles. Neither I nor Twilight are warriors. That blood trick is not something I can depend on. The Dazzlings shouldn't use their gems until I cleanse them and give them some training on doing it themselves.

Stepping in front of Twilight and the Dazzlings, I clenched my fists.

Fortunately I am not ignorant of violence. And I am still much stronger and faster than any of them. I banished my concerns. I needn't have bothered.

"No," I heard Sunset growl, "I will not allow this. Not again."

As Sunset moved to the side, she flung her hand forward. Blood flashed into fire as she converted the energy from the cut in her palm.

Huh, girl has skills. I just showed her that trick and even I had to use a circle to focus it. I will not envy her the headache she will have after this though.

As the Thugs scattered, Sunset slammed her hand on the ground. Her eyes turned white as the magic burned through her and out into the environment. Electricity arced into the five thugs as Sunset yanked the energy from everything that still contained power. As her enemies fell, she sagged. I reached her before any of the others had moved.

Please don't pass out Shimmer. I really don't want to have to carry you home. And neither I nor Twilight are familiar with this city.

"I take that there is a story here," I asked.

Sunset hissed as my words struck her brain. Kneeling on the dirty pavement, she clutched her head.

"Not one I am willing to tell," Sunset muttered, "Maybe someday, but not tonight."

"Alright," I held out my hand, "Slinging that much power around is impressive."

As she grabbed a hold of my hand, I continued my lesson.

"That Headache you have is bad, but you will probably be anemic for the next couple of days."

I smiled as she cursed at me under her breath.

"Eat anything with high Iron and protein and you will recover faster. Coffee will help with the headache. Which you'll also have for the next few days. What did you use to cut your palm?" I finished my lecture.

"Piece of glass I picked up while these idiots postured," She snarked, "Amateurs the lot. Proper villains make sure they've won before they gloat. Preferably to a corpse."

I raised my Eyebrow, "Take the piece of glass with us. Clean it and destroy it as soon as you get home. Do it yourself, do not let Twilight help you. I doubt she would do anything to you, but it's a good practice for a blood mage to get into."

Gesturing at the bodies around us, I asked the obvious question, "Are they dead?"

Sunset shook her head then clutched onto me harder, "Just unconscious. They'll wake up with a rather severe headache. It'll probably be almost as bad as the one I have."

You think your head hurts badly now. Wait until tomorrow.

Twilight and the Dazzlings joined us as I smiled, "Twi, I need you to make a copy of the book you use to keep in contact with Sunset."

"Oh?" Twilight asked, "Why?"

Forcing Sunset to stand up straight, I answered, "Because I have to keep in touch with my new protege. It is my responsibility to guide her in her new path."

I laughed as they all stared at me.

Twilight helped Sunset up the stairs, perhaps allowing Sunset to lean a little more liberty with her hands. I didn't begrudge the flame-haired girl the privilege. She had just used a fair amount of blood magic. A little indulgence would ease the symptoms of partial exsanguination.

I could just heal her, but she needs to learn her limits. Sunset should consider this her first lesson. Unlike with most forms of magic, burnout from Blood Magic can be lethal.

As I watched Sunset and Twilight enter her room, I moved towards the room number on the keychain Sunset had passed me. Herding the Dazzlings before me, we entered. It was a surprisingly good-sized single-bedroom apartment. Although there were no tenants, it was sparsely furnished.

"You girls work out who has the shower first. I have to prepare. We will begin after all are clean. Remain Naked except for your necklaces, it will make things easier. Do not take them off till I tell you to."

Adagio smiled as she began to strip, "So you get to see all three of us naked, what a lucky stallion you are."

I chuckled as I saw that Aria and Sonata were also discarding their clothes.

"I wonder what kind of muscles he has under those duds," Aria groused, "Do you think he can handle all of us?"

"I hope so," Sonata squeed, "I need someone to eat my fish taco. Give me that sour cream filling!"

They may be sharks, but I am a megalodon. I snorted as the three girls stood skyclad before me.

"Be cleansed first. Then we can have some fun," I clarified, "You're all are soiled in both body and soul. If we engaged in what you're suggesting my defensive spells would consume the three of you."

Waiting for my words to sink in, I began my instructions, "Only one of you will be cleansed at a time. Inform me when you're done. Wait for my reply. Don't enter the room until I tell you to. The others must wait in the bathroom. The cleansed person will move to the bedroom. I don't want any accidents."

Looking each of them in the eyes, I hammered my intent home, " Just because I can throw around a lot of power in this world doesn't mean I don't have to be careful. I would rather not shatter any of your minds. Whatever you hear, do exactly as I say."

All three of the girls shuddered, Adagio stepped towards me.

"Then why don't we do this in Equis?" She asked, "If doing this here is so dangerous."

"Because if I was Star Swirl I would've placed a scanner on that mirror. One that checks for Dark Magic Poisoning. I'd make it either not work for the inflicted or I'd make it kill the inflicted. However, I got through just fine. This means he didn't do anything against a general practitioner of Dark Magic. Once the poisoning is removed you can use the portal safely.

Aria spoke up, "Is there any other way to enter the portal?"

I nodded, "Shatter your necklaces or have someone else shatter them. Wait a week. You'll be able to pass with no problem. It'll transubstantiate you into ponies as well. The sirens will be extinct."

"Shower and magic purge of our souls sounds great!" Sonata chirped, "I'm so excited to be a part of this plan!"

The three rapidly retreated to the bathroom. In seconds I heard the shower begin to run.

Pulling a piece of folded metal out of my pocket, I expanded it into a 9ft circle. Grasping a compass in my hand, I found the four directions. Removing a blue candle from my pocket I put it at South. A green for West, red for East, and white for North. I then began to disrobe. Folding my clothes into piles, I removed them well away from my circle. Standing nude, I then patroled around my circle, checking it for flaws and clearing the edge of any debris.

That looks well set up. I am glad that things worked out for the best.

A trio of moans entered the room as the dazzlings continued their shower.

Sounds like they are getting a quick release while in there. Good, it will aid in the cleansing.

Several thumps echoed out of the bathroom as a high squeal got cut short.

Sounds like Sonata is done, wonder if she'll be first?

Several low grunts synchronized to the bathroom door shaking.

And there goes Aria. Wonder who finishes Adagio off?

A melodic tune drifted to my ears. A pleasant soothing sound, followed by the shower being silenced.

Looks like she finishes herself off. That must be frustrating.

"Are the three of you finished?" I ask, "If so send one of you out."

Adagio Dazzle strutted into the room, her breast swayed as she moved toward me. Placing the circle between us, I gestured for her to answer. I could feel her eyes glance over me as she licked her lips. I smiled as she stepped into the circle.

Gotcha.

Adagio fell to her knees as her hands flew to her throat. Green smoke poured out of the amulet. The candles flared to life as they consumed the dark energies. Her tear-filled eyes looked into mine, as she silently screamed.

"I know," I cooed, "It's horrible. But trust me it gets worse."

Extending all four of my hands I began to make my changes. The necklace glowed hot as I rebuild her Alicorn system, the smell of burnt flesh filled the air. The gold interwove into her throat as the gem absorbed her vocal cords.

Such a good idea to use the power of her own necklace to make the required changes.

Extending further into the necklace, I yanked her soul out of its prison. A golden-scaled piscine pony floated above the now glassy-eyed Adagio.

Such a shame to be bored. Such a shame to let her body just sit there.

"Rise and step out of the circle," I intoned, "Leave your soul behind."

Adagio watched wide-eyed as her body stood before me. Glaring at me she snarled.

"Straddle me," I order, "Ride my cock while I twist your soul more to my liking."

The Siren slammed into the edge of the circle, rebounding back she sank to the ground. She could do nothing but watch as her body guided my cock inside her pussy, then proceeded to follow my instructions.

Leaving Adagio's body to its work, I extended my four arms once more to continue my work.

Adagio once more grimaced as I proceeded to customize her.

"You have always been a snake Adagio," I snarked, "Now I am just making that statement accurate."

Flicking my lower right hand upward, I called forth the ghostly form of a hydra. The writhing mass of necks and heads was no larger than a soccer ball, but Adagio shrank back from it. I smiled as I force her to consume it. She retched as it was crammed down her spiritual throat. The changes beginning immediately.

I wonder what spirit I should gift to the other Sirens? I stole the souls of a fair amount of monsters before I came here.
Just in case blood magic didn't work in the world either.

Adagio's tongue lengthed and became forked. Her eyes became slits. I grabbed her body's face and inclined it towards her changing soul.

"I am looking forward to fucking you in that form, but I don't want to finish inside just yet," I grinned, "Finish me off with your mouth and tits, swallow my cum. Don't waste a single drop."

In front of me, the changes to her soul continued. She gained two jagged ridges that paralleled the fin running down her back. Her teeth became more needle-like and she gained a pair of hollow fangs.

"I so do love when a plan comes together," I scoff.

The tip of my dick was soon engulfed by those plump lips of hers as she used her ample breasts to jerk me off. Leaning back I watched the transformation finish.

Heat sensing Pits formed just behind her nostrils. Her tail lost its flukes to be replaced by a long sinuous tale. The tip became hardened bone and came to a wicked barbed point. The gem on her throat changed from ruby red to emerald green. The colors know synced to her soul.

As the changes finalizied, I climaxed into her body's mouth. The sound of gulping was heard as her vacant body obeyed my commandments. As the body finished her meal, she leaned back. Looking at me blankly, she awaited her next orders.

"Go into the bedroom," I order, "kneel on the floor at the end of the bed. Place your forehead on the ground and cross your wrist behind your back. Remain that way until I return."

Her body exited the room. Looking back at Adagio, I admired my work.

"One last change," I muttered.

Reaching deep inside her mind, I found the structures that had to do with attraction and loyalty. I then tweaked them to include me, her sisters, and my other wives. In that order. Walking over to my coat, I pulled out a blank crystal.

"Enter into it," I order, "You will be returned to your body tomorrow. The cleansing plus the changes have put tremendous strain on your soul. You need the night to recover."

"Yesss Masster," She hissed as she vanished into the gem.

I watched as the clear gem became filled with a gold glow. Moving the gem over to the coffee table, I collapsed the circle and disposed of the candles. Retrieving two more circles from my bag, I place them side by side. Reorienting new candles for each, I turned toward the quiet bathroom.

"Adagio's cleansing went off without a hitch," I uttered, "I can cleanse the both of you. That way we can all get some rest."

Two naked girls walked into the room. I smiled kindly at them.

It is definitely good to be the Prince.

Three gems nestled in the center of a circle. One of Gold, One of Lavender, and One of Blue. They illumintated the room with an eeire light. My grin threatened to split my face as I finished the incantations. Walking over to my clothes, I redressed as I waited for those I had summoned. As I smoothed the wrinkles from my clothes, a scrabbling at the door announced my new geusts arrival.

"Wait!" I ordered as I strode the the door.

Ushering in my new friends, I turned to the three dogs I had called to entertain my new siren pets.

"Heel," I commanded, then moved into the bedroom.

The physical bodies of the three sirens, kneeled upon the ground. Thier heads were pressed against the carpet and their hands were crossed behind their backs.

"Place those hands upon the ground and raise those asses into the air," I commanded, "time to see if my modifications took."

Turning to the three dogs, I pointed to the sirens, "Pick one and mount her."

In unison the pooches immediatly shoved there doggy dicks into a siren. The biggest of the pack chose Adagio, the one with the most scars chose Aria, and the cutest one chose Sonata.

Moving out of the bedroom, I left the apartment. As I stepped outside, the sounds of bestaility were silenced as the doors closed.

"Time to see what my protege and my wife are up too."

Knocking on the door, I smiled as a mused up Twilight answered.

"Malem," she stuttered, "I thought you were cleansing the Sirens."

"Their finished," I replied, "But I have to leave them on their own for a bit. Anything that is leaking off of me might recontaminate them. So I figured I'd come see what you two where up to."

"Oh sure come on in!" she twittered, "Sunset and I were just catching up."

"Speaking of Sunset," I said as I drifted my hand up Twilight's spine, "She did go above and beyond the call of duty."

Twilight shivered at my touch, "Yeah, she's had a horrible headache since. Whe've been mostly talking through a closed door. The light has been to much."

Well we can't have that," I growled, "I happen to know the best way to get rid of her symptoms"

Bringing Twilight in close, I brushed my lower hands lightly against her waist. My upper hands began kneading her shoulders. Leaning down I gave her nibbling kisses against her neck.

Moving away from me, Twilight cocked her head at me.

"Please tell me?" She begged, "I don't like having one of my best friends suffer."

"Simple," I grinned, "Give her an orgasm."

"What!" Twilight Sputtered, "I don't want to lead her on. I only see her as a friend."

"But it's to ease her pain," I crooned to her, "besides, I will walk you through it."

"You will?" Twilight whispered, "You'll guide me?"

"Indeed," I chuckled, "I will be right behind you, the entire time."

Twilight nodded, "Alright then."

Stepping forward she rapped against the Sunset's bedroom.

"Not So Loud!" came the answering whine.

"Sunset, as you teacher I would be remise if I didn't inform you of the best way to relieve your headache."

"How?" she demanded.

"Allow I and Twilight to enter and we will show you."

"Door's open," her voice slurred.

Twilight turned the doorknob and we stepped into the dark den of the creature known as Sunset Shimmer. The girll lay with her knees bent, her feet planted firmly onto the floor. A pillow was roughly shove under her bedraggled hair as she hissed at the intrusive light from the door.

"Ahhh!" She demanded, "Close the damn door!"

As Twilight and I entered, I saw that she had collapsed after removing her boots and tights. Her shirt had ridden up to expose a pair of rather impressive tits.

Leaning next to Twilight, I whispered, "Crawl over to Sunset and give her pussy a lick."

Twilight nodded as she moved on hands and knees over to her friend. Pressing her face forward into Sunset's crotch, Twilight gasped at what she found. Peeling her friends garment back, a large cock was exposed. Rapidly inflating as Twilight continued to stare at it. I chuckled as it slapped the princess of friendship in the face.

Sunset rose up on her elbows, "What in tarturus are you doing?"

"Curing your headache," I replied, "Twilight stop teasing your friend. She needs you."

Twilight nodded as she began licking the thick memeber. Raising her hands, Twilight fondled Sunset swollen balls.

Moving behind Twilight, I dropped my pants. Waiting until she had taken Sunsets dick into her mouth, I slammed into her pussy. Sunset cried out as Twilight moaned around the cock in her mouth.

Looking over to Sunset, I clarified, "This is a one time thing. Twilight is mine. But I will share her with you tonight as a reward for stepping in to protect us. And also for becoming my protege. After this you will have to find your own playmates. Do you understand?"

Sunset shock her head as Twilight began to deep throat her, "Yes, Master. I understand. Thank you for this."

Sunset grabbed the back of Twilight's head and began thrusting rapidly. Twilight's gagging sounds were musical as I matched the bacon-haired girls pace. I could feel Twilight tighening as the spitroasting drove her over the limit. The Princess of Friendship's pussy convulsing as her orgasm hit her.

"Oh Fuck, Twilight!" Sunset cried, "Swallow all of it."

I thrust one final time as Twilight could be heard gulping down Sunsets semen. My spurts inside the Alicorn seeming in time to her swallows.

Sunset sighed as she dumped the last of her spunk down Twilight's throat. I pulled myself from the youngest alicorn and moved over to Sunset. Lifting her up, I placed my protege on her bed properly. Then tucked her in. Moving over to Twilight, I extended my hand. The Lavender Alicorn accepted my help in rising from the floor. I inclined my head and she followed me silently from the room. Behind us, Sunset murmered happily in her dreams.

"So I am yours, huh?" Twilight inquired, "What if I want a repeat of that?"

"Now Now, Twilight," I admonished, "You're mine as all my herd belongs to me. As I belong to my herd. And it wouldn't do to play with Sunset's feelings. It will only complicate matters."

Nodding her head, Twilight joined me as we silently left the room. I smiled, finally the last peice to the puzzle was collected..

Chrysalis and her changelings give me the control
The Alicorns give me legitimacy
The Sirens will breed my monsters
And Sunset gives me a foot in this world.
It is good to be the Prince.

Bringing the Wayward Children Home

The portal shimmered as Twilight Sparkle stumbled through. The Alicorn of Friendship Dodged to the side as three shapes shot from the mirror, landing on the pile of pillows arranged for just that purpose. The calm measured steps of Malem behind her announced that he to had made the trip back. Twilight continued to stare at the Dazzlings.

"That is not what the artists drew the sirens looking like," She stammered, "Malem what is going on?"

As Malem came up behind her, he pulled her into an embrace. She hummed as he ran his hands over her body. His presence banishing her doubts.

"I have everything under control," He reassured her, "Trust in me."

"Of course," Twilight murmured, "I am sorry I doubted."

She mewed in disappointment as he pulled away. Stepping forward, he began to inspect his new subjects.

Thank you Pheromones, I groused, almost but not quite a mind-control drug. Especially to a species that never had to worry about them before.

I released Twilight and strode over to my new acquisitions. Adagio was already rising, supporting herself quite well on her serpentine tail. Approaching the first Siren I smiled at her.

Why are the Sirens completely naked? Oh well. Mysteries for another day.

"When we leave, I want you to find as many Hydra as you can. Bring them to my tower. I will give you more orders then."

"Yesss Massster," she hissed.

Aria stumbled to her feet, having slight problems with her Timberwolf modifications.

"Easy does it," I caution her, "Your new body will take some getting use to."

"Yes Master," Aria nods, "I just fucking wish this body of mine balanced more like the human one. Can't find my center of gravity worth a shit."

Trying again to balance in her new wooden form, she glared her defiance at the room. Her long purple hair hung from her wolfish face. Her green breasts hung free and were framed by a dense patch of lichen that descended between her legs. The sharp thorns in her mouth gnashed as she tried to get used to her body. Her purple eyes glowed within her face.

"Your purpose will be to gather the Timberwolves. I want you to fuck as many of the males as you can. You are their queen. Bring them all to my tower. Do not disappoint me."

"Sounds like fun," her wooden face took on a sinister grin, "I ain't gonna be late to that fucking party."

Looking down at Sonata, I watched as she groomed herself. From her crouched position, she licked her paw and rubbed it over her feline head. Starting on her wings next, she began to inspect them for flaws. Biting on them once or twice to dislodge any particles of dirt. Bringing her scorpion tail forward, Sonata took long slow licks. To be assured she was clean.

The Manticore was the right decision for her.

"Sonata, I want you to gather all the Manticores," I said, "Bring them to my tower."

Sonata pouted as she heard my order, "So Aria is the only one that gets laid? I can handle a Manticore or two."

"Sonata," I replied, "I am more worried about the Manticores handling you. I have no wish for the species to go extinct. Stand up and join your sisters. I have much to do and not a lot of time."

"Okey dokey Master,"

Flouncing over to her sisters, she joined them in eyeing me hungrily. I shook my head as I turned back to Twilight.

"Would you kindly send the Sirens on their way?" I requested, "I need them to begin their mission as soon as possible."

"Most certainly," Twilight chirped, "Would you like me to send you to your tower as well? Or can you stay a bit?"

I smiled at the hope in her voice.

I do want to check up on the fruits of my machinations.

"I do believe I can take a break and spend some time with you," I reassured her, "You can show me around Ponyville."

Twilight squeed as she grabbed my hand, "I'm so glad! You'll get to form better bonds with my friends!"

"I look forward to it."

In the darkest of places, an ancient evil spoke to its strongest acolyte.

"What is your Report, Dainn?"

"My spies on the borders of Equestria have spotted some odd movements. Hidden warrens are rising in the Crystal Empire. Our monstrous allies have gone silent. I have received news of a new Male Alicorn. He calls himself Malem, Alicorn of the Broken. He has already collected Celestia and Luna. But he makes no move to assert his dominance. Instead, he treats the whores as equals, continuing to let them rule."

Grogar shook his head, "He has bred monsters of his own. Yet he touches not the magic of death. He merely rules with a velvet fist. He seeks to preserve as much of their free will as he can. Yet he wields the same magics we do. Soon he will be able to rule openly."

Dainn spat, "He has not earned the right to rule. The right only given by blood spilled. When the Equestrians left us to the Windigo, we grew strong. Now we come to repay that favor. Too long have the males of equestrian been told they are weak. Too long has the female ruled. We will assert the right of the male. The right of the conqueror."

"We will indeed, my son," Grogar soothed, "But with that old buffoon Discord watching, I can't help you directly. Especially since Malem has not asked nor received any help from your brother. But I can tell you this. Speed up your preparations."

Grogar snarled as he continued, "I wish I had never wasted my seed on that one. Too much of his mother in him. But of you Dainn, I am most proud. Finally a son worthy of me."

Dainn bowed, "I shall do as you command father. It makes me glad that I have been able to rise to your standards. Equestria will fall by my hand. The Alicorns shall be my breeding sows. I will do all of this in your name.

3 months later...

Opening my eyes, I stared up at my ceiling. Glancing over at my bed, I stretched my legs as I sat up on my couch. Twilight snored as she clung to Celestia's back, Luna drooled onto Twilight's head as the princess of the night completed the pregnant Alicorn sandwich.

That is adorable, I sighed, completely worth the crick in my neck from being consigned to my couch.

Casting a dual shadow/darkness spell, I silently exited my room.

Which is why I will let them sleep. I'm not suicidal after all.

Moving quietly down the hallways, I avoided any of my subjects. Descending into my ritual chamber, I sought out Intellectus.

I have heard very little from the Sirens, I groused, They should've gotten here by now.

Arriving at the chamber, I sighed as I beheld Eldritch snoozing in midair. Her own baby bump was centered in the middle of her form.

He really is my son. Knocked his consort up in one shot. I shook my head, However this pregnant female I have no fear of awakening.

Sweeping my hand forward, I feed power into Intellectus. Eldritch began grumbling at the interruption.

"Was that necessary master?" She growled, "I am carrying your grandchild."

"Go and join my wives. They are currently snuggled up on my bed," I soothed, "I am sure they would be more than happy to see you."

Eldritch snorted, "Are we still going with the lie that this child is yours?"

"Yes, your husband rose to intelligence on his own," I reminded her, "Such beings usually are hostile to their accidental creators. I am not fond of the fiction either. But Intellectus must stay hidden. At least for now."

Eldritch snorted again, then shot past me and out the door.

I am glad that Eldritch gets along with my wives. It simplifies things.

"Alright My Son," I call out, "It is time to get to work."

Intellectus pulsed with power, "Yes father, what shall we be doing today?"

"We need to check up on my third wives, they wouldn't disobey me. However, they might drag their feet and use their unsupervised time to work some mischief. We also need to check up on your sister, Alexandrite. She has not sent me any updates for a while."

"It will take me a moment to lock on to their positions," Intellectus responded, "The Diamond Dog tunnels insulate against scanning magic on the best of days and now they run for miles. The Sirens have nothing of you in them, which makes it hard to track their signature"

I nodded, I had figured as much. It could also be why none of the four had reported in. What made it difficult to contact them also made it difficult to contact me.

Intellectus began his search, runes and symbols illuminating as he tried different combinations to contact my wayward wives.

I truly lucked out with my son,I smiled proudly, he has more then exceeded anything I have tasked him with.

Four images appeared before me, Alexandrite, Adagio, Aria, and Sonata looked back at me.

Why do they all look worse for wear? Alexandrite looks paler than she should. Adagio's hair looks knotted and her skin appears to be heading. Aria doesn't want to meet my eyes and her bark looks cracked. Sonata is trembling and is entirely too silent.

"I have not heard from you four in a while," I begin, "I would like to hear all of your progress. Starting with Alexandrite."

The ruler of the Horned Dogs bowed her head, "I apologize father. I have taken over many warrens and linked them to my own. But several packs elude me. Also, something is creeping in the darkness. I can not tell you more than that, for it never does anything other than lurk. And when you turn your full attention to it, the thing is never there. It exists in the corners of our eyes. I do not even know if there is more than one."

She goes silent as she stares at something to her side. Extending my own darkness and shadow, I examine her.

Just as I thought, a fear spell. Infecting the rest of her hive through her.

Reaching out with my Necromancy, I devoured the thing.

No one touches my family. But it does mean that Dainn at least has started making his move.

She shivered as the effect fell from her.

"Someone cast a spell on me?" She snarled, "This will not stand. Whomever cast it shall pay. Such a spell had to have been maintained. I will find them. And they will be consumed."

"Do so, my daughter-wife," I order, "report what you find. And stay safe."

"Yes father," She replied.

She vanished as the connection was cut. I smiled, for an opening move, it was kind of shit.

Adagio stepped forward, "Master, I have been attempting to gather the hydra to me. But those that are still under Grogar's sway move against us. They are dwindling as our numbers grow, but I can not come to the tower until they are dealt with. Plus I have had my child. She grows fast but she still needs my care and protection. I've not slept in several days."

"I will have Queen Eclipse order some of her Templari to assist you. I'm not sure why they've not made contact already. I will also send you an Honor guard of Queen Carapace's warriors. That should alleviate some of your stresses. What have you named the child?"

Adagio smiled, her long fangs glittering with poison, "I will look forward to their arrival father. My daughter's name is Fortuna, for she is precious to me."

I smile as Adagio disappears to make her preparations. I turn to Aria and gesture for her to report."

"The Timberwolves are completely loyal to you. They hate Grogar and Dainn more than any others for some reason. I've been doing as you asked and letting them mount me. However, I worry as my child has not grown very much inside me. I know I'm pregnant but she has not developed much."

"Ease your mind Aria," I soothe, "I made it so that the child will absorb the genetic material from all of your sexual partners. She will grow soon enough. Head towards my tower as soon as possible. I wish to complete my plan. I will make sure the Templari give you an honor guard."

"I'll get there within a couple days. My packs won't leave their pups so it will be slow going. But we will get there."

Aria faded from view as she went to fulfill my commands. Sonata silently stared at me.

"Why have you not done as I told you Sonata?" I inquired, "Speak so I might know the situation and offer any assistance."

Sonata shuffled her feet, her eyes cast downwards, "The Manticores won't leave their cubs behind and most of them are too small to travel. That problem will solve as the cubs grow. Plus something is hunting us out here. It prays on any cub it finds alone. I could kill it if I could find it."

Her eyes met mine, "It will die whatever it is. I will make sure that it knows this one simple truth. You don't kill babies!
I'm not asking for help, this one is on me. Besides Pinkie comes to visit me when she can. I won't leave until I can say goodbye to her. She is looking after my daughter, keeping her safe from the dark things."

Her voice chirped as she signed off, "Other than that everything is great. We'll get to the tower when we get there. Probably whenever the author figures it's appropriate. Gotta wonder how Pinkie can stand him. This narrative is way too cliched. I will not tell you my daughter's name, the less others know of her the better. And I don't trust this line. To many that can listen in."

And I am ignoring that bit. If I listen to all of Sonata's mad ramblings they will drive me insane.

"I will leave you to it then. But if you require assistance don't be too proud to ask for it. I can easily send Queen Mantis or Queen Arachne to assist you in your hunt. I require Queen Odonata for other tasks. My Templari will be making contact. Reinform them of what you told me and anything else that happens in between. Happy Hunting."

Sonata Nods, "Yes, My Master!"

The connection is cut as I open another line. Eclipse appears before me.

"Father! What do you require?"

"Why are the Templari not assisting the Sirens?"

"Because you never told me what they were doing. I assumed you wanted my Templari to remain hidden. That way if the Sirens betrayed you, the Templari would handle it."

I sighed as I rubbed the bridge of my nose.

Only myself to blame. I kept everything too compartmentalized.

"I want you to have the Templari immediately begin sharing info with the Sirens. They are incapable of betraying me. None that I touch can. Assist in any way you can. Adagio needs help keeping her child safe and dealing with a dwindling number of Grogar loyalists among the Hydra. Aria needs an honor guard to escort her home. Welcome her as a sister. Sonata is dealing with an unseen threat. Place some Templari under her temporary command."

"It shall be done, father!"

The opening moves have been made. It seems I will not have the 5 years I was originally promised. But when has anything in my life gone according to plan?

A smile graced my lips as I began to rewrite the Biomantic runes upon my body.

It is time that I stop moving in the shadows. I will rule in the light. And any that stand against me wil fall. Equestria is mine. I will not allow any to take it from me!

Author's Note

And here it is, the next chapter. I had a hard time with this one. Computer trouble combined with exhaustion made focusing on this hard. Dainn and Grogar have taken notice. Malem will begin to move openly. The kingdom of Equestria is his. The Prince will rule and protect all those within his grasp. I will get the next chapter out as I can. Till then,

All Hail The House Of Ren!!!!!
