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.
