Fate's Hand

(Death) Seven slumbers away when he finds himself in his true form, standing on a blood-soaked battlefield filled with the corpses of his fellow Nephilim, and says to the watcher through their link, 'Panoptos, Luna is the only one with the ability to interact with dreams, right?'

The watcher is in Canterlot working on a task for the plan and responds, 'She is, horseman, why do you ask?'

He walks across the field of his slaughtered kin, looking left and then right to see bodies as far as the eye can see, and responds to the watcher's question, 'I'm on the world where I slaughtered my fellows with my brothers and sister, I need you to alter what Luna sees before she gets here.'

Panoptos sighs in annoyance and replies through the link, 'How about you give controlling your own dream a chance? I am a little occupied at the moment and I know there are several ponies who control every aspect of their dream.'

(Death) Seven continues walking among the corpses as an unknown fear rises within him and then says, 'Dreams can be controlled? Tell me how.'

The watcher rolls his eyes and continues on trying to get Prince Blueblood to cheat on his marefriend and for his marefriend to eventually catch him in the act, saying, 'Dreams are a part of your own subconscious mind horseman, you figure it out. This Stallion is proving to be a bit stubborn...'

The horseman then closes his eyes and makes a few attempts to will the scene around him to clear, taking him a few moments to start getting the hang of it. When he manages to recall the scene around him, he imagines the Nephilim around him appearing as ponies when he senses a presence near a door to his subconscious and then dismisses the scene around him, choosing to make himself appear as his pony self while making the battlefield around him appear as an empty space. Hearing a door open, he turns his head towards the sound's source and watches Princess Luna enter his mind saying, "I see that you have found my dream, Princess Luna. How has your night been, so far?"

Princess Luna smiles and looks around the empty space, knowing she felt fear coming from his door a few moments ago and says, "It goes well, though the night is still relatively young being only eleven at night." She then asks, "Is everything alright with you? I could have sworn that I could feel fear coming from your door only a few moments ago, but it is gone now."

The horseman looks at her and lets out a sigh saying, "Everything is fine, I was just recalling the battle from my past and found myself on the battlefield once more. No need to worry about little old me."

She makes her way towards him and nuzzles against him affectionately saying, "Oh but I do worry because you are my friend. Would you please tell me what troubles you?"

Not yet ready to say just yet, (Death) Seven then pulls his head away from her nuzzling and raises his mask above his mouth, then places his lips onto hers, giving her a gentle kiss lasting a few seconds.

Kissed by the pony she fancies, Luna parts her lips of her own accord and slips her tongue into his mouth to deepen it while closing her eyes, thinking, 'I really do want to help him get over his fears, but I don't want to miss out on a chance to be alone with him for a while.'

As the horseman lets the kiss continue, he hears her let out soft moans as her wings lift up from her sides and wrap around the back of his head. Using his wings in the same way, he places them behind her head and intensifies the kiss.

Luna's tail shifts to the side as she hungrily kisses Seven, she grinds her thighs together in arousal and pulls away while biting her lower lip. Thinking something over in her head for several moments, she then looks up at him and says, "I know it is a bit sudden, but would you please make love to me?"

This section contains UNSAFE elements not recommended for work, and should be read at a safer time!

(Death) Seven nods and says, "Before we get started, perhaps you should return to your body and ensure that no one can hear the passionate sounds coming from your lips?"

Luna giggles at hearing that and pulls away saying, "I will be right back, that is a very good idea as I have heard a few guards talking about my sister making some noises in her sleep. Did you hear about that too?"

The horseman chuckles and nods saying, "Unfortunately, I happened to be walking by when I heard her moaning and thought she was in trouble. So I sadly got a lovely view of her pleasuring herself, though I still find you much more attractive than her as I find dark colors more to my liking with my personality."

She then briefly gasps in shock, but giggles at her sister's expense and says, "Oh I will enjoy tormenting my sister about being caught." and then kisses his cheek saying, "I'll return shortly, don't get too lonely without me."

(Death) Seven then grins and says, "Then you better be quick with that barrier..."

Luna feels absolutely giddy at finding a coltfriend in Seven and prances happily in her thoughts saying, 'Oh he is so sweet and romantic, my sister is going to be green with envy when she learns of this!' and then returns to her body, opening her eyes to see herself in the throne room and looks at the two guards saying, "I wish to remain undisturbed during my patrol tonight, so wait outside and admit no visitors until further orders."

The guards nod and salute her saying, "Yes, Your Majesty." and exit the throne room to stand guard outside.

Smiling at finally having some alone time with her coltfriend, she smiles and casts a privacy shield to keep all sounds she makes inside and then returns to the dream realm for a special night. Making her way back to where she knows Seven's door is, she re-enters it and hurries back into his hooves and waiting wings saying in a husky voice, "I'm back, and I'm looking forward to our night together, my dear." and moves towards his mouth, using her nose to lift his mask out of the way to lock lips with him.

The horseman slips his tongue into her mouth as he slowly pulls Luna into a hug, laying them both onto their sides gently. Rolling the princess onto her back, he feels himself slip out of his sheath and rub against her nethers.

Lost in the heat and passion of the kiss, Luna wraps her wings around her lover as she feels his member stiffen and pop up onto her stomach in between her teats. Wrapping her forelegs around his neck, she feels him thrust his thighs up against hers, grinding his member against her small, soft mounds and moans a little louder pleading, "Make yourself harder, please, and make love to me like you wish to breed me."

Knowing this isn't their actual bodies, (Death) Seven nods and says, "As you wish, my dear." then pulls back and tries to push his semi-hard member into her.

Luna cries out in pleasure as his continued attempts to enter her draw the nub of her clitoris out and brushes against it with a thrust, causing her to orgasm and squirt all over his thighs. Moments later, she pants and looks at him with foggy eyes saying, "I-I'm sorry for doing that, you are the first stallion to have ever gotten this far with me."

The horseman smiles at hearing that, giving a little boost to his pride as he looks into her eyes and says, "It does not bother me in the slightest, dear." then pulls back and repositions himself and changes his angle slightly before pressing his hips towards hers slowly, saying, "Now let's continue on with this fleeting moment while the dream is still upon us and forget our loneliness for awhile..." as her entrance begins to part.

Feeling him slide further into her and ripping her hymen as he pushes into her depths, she smiles and bites her lip through the pain as her eyes close and locks her legs around his saying, "Show me you know how to please your mare, dear." and surrenders a little more to her passion and desire.

Burying himself in her to the hilt and hitting her back wall, (Death) Seven puts a hoof into her flowing mane and wraps part of it around his left hoof and tugs on it lightly. He then bites her neck hard enough to leave a slight mark and then says in a deep tone, "As you wish, my little princess." and then pulls back and drives himself into her a bit harder while caressing her neck and shoulder tenderly.

Luna moans out in pleasure as she starts to climb the peak once more, making herself grip his thrusting member tighter as she bites his neck back. Wanting to make him hers and hers alone, she adds a little more strength to her bite to leave a mark. Pulling away to check it, she sees a small ring of teeth indentations at the base of his neck saying in a heated, love filled tone, "Please make me yours tonight."

Feeling himself climbing his own peak, he then thrusts into her depths harder a few more times and then holds himself against her saying, "Now, you are mine and will never know another, keeping my secrets to yourself and shall love one another unconditionally."

Happy at feeling a hot warmth filling her womb, Luna cries out as she squirts all over his thighs. After a moment, she collapses breathlessly onto the empty floor of Seven's dream space and pants saying with an unfocused gaze into his glowing eyes, "Yes. I am now your princess, I will listen to whatever you tell me and give you all of my love. I hope we can do this again when you come back to Canterlot for a visit, I hope that we can try for a family soon."

(Death) Seven looks at her with a brief curiosity and then says, "Why would you want a child with me? I am an unrivaled being of great and terrible power, and our child in turn would be feared just like me. So I think not."

Not surprised at hearing her love say no to having a child, she then takes control of his dream space and says, "I don't share the same opinion dear..." and adds, not wanting to give up. "but why don't we discuss it some other day okay?"

The horseman rolls his eyes and lays beside her saying, "Sure we can. When the time is right, it will happen."

Luna smiles at getting a small win at having the discussion at a later date and enjoys the rest of the moment with her love by holding him close and locking her lips against his, looking forward to feeling this same warmth of his seed inside her as long as she can. Wanting to keep him inside her a little longer, she locks her legs around his back and legs while squeezing down on his member in an attempt to return life to it.

(Death) Seven feels his member stiffen up at her actions and chuckles saying, "Worry not, my little princess, for we have all night to make love."

Knowing that isn't true, the princess giggles and looks forward to going again saying, "Well, let's make the most of our second round before I have to finish up my patrol of the dream realm."

END OF SCENE, PLEASE ENJOY THE REST OF THE STORY!

The next morning...at Canterlot Castle

Luna smiles blissfully after cleaning up the mess left behind on the floor when she spent some time with Seven in the dream realm, looking up with a glow about her as she sees her sister walk towards her saying with a happy sigh, "Hello sister, isn't it a beautiful start to a lovely morning?"

Celestia cocks her head curiously at her sister's attitude and sees a glow about her sister's behavior and then catches a certain hint of satisfaction on her body and figures out why she is so happy and says, "Oh sister, certainly you didn't have intercourse with a pony in the throne room?"

She giggles girlishly and shakes her head saying, "Of course not, sister. I made love to Seven, my new coltfriend in his dreamspace while on my patrol." and seizes the moment to make her squirm a little saying, "Oh I happened to hear a rumor floating about that some guards heard you moan rather loudly one certain night, and my coltfriend happened to have been walking by. When he heard you moan and thought you were in danger, he barged into the room and got a great view of you finishing."

Feeling scandalized, the older sister blushes furiously and covers her face with her hooves and wings saying, "OH HOW HUMILIATING!"

Luna watches her sister squirm even more than before, she adds a small jibe in, saying, "Oh fret not, he won't be barging into your room and begging to have his way with you...because he finds me more attractive with my dark coloration."

Jerked from her embarrassment, she then feels a little jealous and huffs saying, "Lucky virgin."

Shocked at hearing her sister say that, she then smiles and huffs back saying, "Prude."

Not wanting to continue the conversation anymore, Celestia then says with a smile, "Shall we change the cycle and enjoy breakfast together?"

Luna nods her head and smiles saying, "We shall, sister. Let us begin...oh prudish one."

She turns her nose up into the air with a scoff and says, "I'm not a prude." and begins raising the sun while her sister lowers the moon.

As she lowers the moon, she grins and says, "Well, you're certainly not a virgin, that's for sure."

Quickly jerking the sun just above the horizon for a moment, Celestia looks at her sister in amazement to see a grin on her face and realizes she is just ribbing her and giggles saying, "No...that's still you, I'm afraid."

Luna laughs a bit at that as the sun rises over the horizon slowly as it should and says, "Not for much longer..." when the sun and moon are in place and starts to walk towards the throne room doors to get breakfast in their kitchen.

Her eyes go wide at hearing that and trots after her to catch up and hastily asks, "Sister, just how serious are things between you and Seven?"

She looks over her shoulder with a sultry look and leans her head back into the room, whispering just loud enough for her sister to hear, "Serious enough to have brought up discussing foals."

Celestia panics slightly and hurries after her sister hissing loudly, "Don't you dare get married before me, Discord would laugh himself to pieces over it."

Luna raises an eyebrow and teases her sister saying, "How do you know he isn't already?"

Later that morning in the Frozen North

As Death races after the fleeing shadow known as Sombra underneath the ice in reaper form, he shouts after his target, "Give up fleeing, coward and face the one, true, fact..." and bellows, "NOTHING ESCAPES DEATH IN THE END!" getting close enough as to almost grab the tail end of his shadow, he reaches out his skeletal hand...

Darting through narrow crevices, Sombra is glad he doesn't have a physical body anymore or he would have most certainly been slain by this monster. Looking behind him to see Death itself coming for him, he sees a skeletal hand preparing to snatch his shadow's tail and howls in terror. Making a last-ditch effort to escape Death, he splits his soul into four pieces and shoots out in four different directions until the Reaper leaves Equestria.

Seeing the soul split and race off in four separate directions angers Death enough to make him crave to battle something strong and rip it to pieces in the most painful way possible. As a response to that anger, he shoots up through the ice saying, "Alteya..." and then falls towards the thick ice aiming his anger at the surface. With a flap of his wings, he aims his back hooves at the ice below and slams into it, creating a massive cloud of snow and ice crystals to blast out.

As a cloud of snow and ice particles float in the air around him, (Death) Seven huffs with irritation at his query making a fool of him once again. He looks around him to see that he lashed out with enough force to create a crater big enough to bury the Castle of Canterlot inside it, pleased at knowing he still has enough power to kick some serious ass.

Panoptos emerges from his shadow and giggles in his annoying, high-pitched voice saying, "Awee, did your prey pull the wool over your eyes again? Are you now finished with your little tantrum? If so...can we get back to the plan at hand and pay a visit to that cave?"

(Death) Seven growls in annoyance at the watcher's remarks and takes off into the sky towards the cave in the Everfree Forest without saying a single word.

Equis waits at the cave in her dimension for a few hours until she finally hears a set of hooves make their way towards her, and sees the horseman trot into the cavern disguised as a pony. Emerging from her dimension, she then looks at him with a raised eyebrow saying, "Interesting choice at choosing the name Seven Selbs, but let us get to the matter at hand, shall we? Follow me into my dimension so we can speak."

The horseman follows her through a shimmering portal seemingly made of mist, turning around to look at it to see it already gone then looks around at her dimension, filled with many moving images focused around different ponies. With a chuckle he spots one focused on Luna, her sister, and then Cadence saying, "So you like to watch every moment of everyone's lives in your world," adding in a sarcastic tone, "Did you enjoy seeing what you saw so far?"

The spirit smirks and then says, "I don't watch every moment, but I can sense when something isn't right. Would you care to explain to me what you have been doing to a few of the subjects of this world?"

Preparing to have to fight the spirit, he shifts back into his normal form saying, "Alteya." and then says, "If I did tell you, what power do you have over me?"

Narrowing her eyes at him, she smirks and says in a sure tone, "Over you? Why none at all of course, but I can be quite a nuisance in any plan you may concoct that affects the lives of my inhabitants. Why don't you work with me a little bit and tell me what you have planned for this world...Death."

Not wanting to have their plans interfered with constantly, Death then sighs in annoyance and says, "In short, setting the stage for a possible apocalypse if things go according to plan while ensuring the souls of this planet are cycled back to it once it returns to how it used to be before conscious thought came to the species inhabiting it. Once it reaches the earliest possible point, my brothers and I will watch over the planet and ensure that nothing extremely dangerous interferes with the progress in their second chance. If things continue going smoothly with the history of the civilizations being the same, more or less, then I intend to ask them for aid in fighting against The Charred Council and taking their place."

Equis stumbles backward with tears in her eyes and falls onto her rump, causing them to fall down her cheeks as her chest feels tight. Half sobbing at what she just heard, she then says in desperation, "Why must there be an apocalypse!? Why can't you just ask them for aid right now and return the ponies to how they should be?!?"

Death walks towards her and kneels down in front of her saying, "That can't be because Panoptos, my watcher, has been here for a very long time since the ponies evolved into sentient beings and he meddled a bit in their post-evolution before I even came here and affected a few things because he was a bit bored."

She blinks in disbelief and falls to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably saying, "All my hard work to bring life to my world...has been for nothing."

He reaches for her chin and places his forefinger under it and lifts her head up to meet his and says in a soft tone, "No...not for nothing. We horsemen, Panoptos, and his brethren are all more-or-less slaves to the Charred Council. Your work here has made it possible for us all to get a chance to be free from them once and for all. The only thing we have to do to set things right is destroy your corrupted work up to now so you can start over with a clean slate free of corruption from Panoptos or his brethren's meddling."

Equis sighs and looks at the bigger picture he is painting for her and sighs, realizing that he is correct and then groans in displeasure at how much work she is going to have to do just to start over again, asking in defeat, "What must I do with the seals Death?"

Death reaches into the satchel at his side and pulls out the six seals saying, "Each seal requires an unthinkable act and an equal punishment should that act be committed to be enchanted into it. Once these seals are enchanted, all but one will disappear. When when the acts enchanted into them are committed, the seals will break and trigger the punishment shortly after. Think back on all that you have observed from your world's inhabitants, and you should easily be able to find six that you believe none of them would do normally."

It takes Equis several minutes of thinking before she sighs, saying, "I have decided on what acts those six should be, give me the first seal."

The horseman hands her the first seal and watches as she takes it into her magic and concentrates on it for a fair while before it suddenly rises up and disappears with a pop. As he hands her the next one, it takes just as long for it to rise up on its own and vanish.

Going through the rest of the seals takes Equis four hours until she reaches for the final seal asking, "Let's get this over with, hand me the last one."

Death holds onto it for a moment saying, "The final seal will be different than the others as half of it will disappear once it is broken, and have two punishments instead of just one. The first punishment is that my two brothers and I will all be called to come here, and the last one will cause the moon to turn crimson and clouds to gather over the place where the last act was committed and begin raining blood instead of water."

Unamused by his words, she sighs and says, "A suitable spectacle for the end of all life..." and snatches it from him saying, "This will take much longer than the others have, so return to your business and I will return it to your saddlebag when I am done." and opens up a portal out of her dimension saying, "Be on your way, horseman. You will know when I am finished."
