After Tirek's attack in Equestria and the subsequent draining of all magic in the area, Luna found herself wondering when something like that may happen again. Her nightly duties were disturbed by her own nightmares of such a tragedy happening once again. Equestria was left defenseless save for one little pony. Twilight Sparkle. Celestia's most faithful student. But, Luna thought, what would the outcome have been, had Twilight lost? Equestria would be without magic… forever. She couldn't let that happen. And as such, she set a plan in motion. One she needed her sister's help for. She went to Celestia's chambers and knocked on her door. A determined look in her eyes.
“Enter…” Came Celestia’s tired response. She was just starting to wake up from a similar nightmare, hoping that such a thing would never come to be.
Luna opened the door and walked inside, a serious expression on her face. "Forgive me for disturbing you, sister, but I have something important to discuss with you. It's about...back then. During the attack..."
She nodded, trying to get up out of bed. "What of it…?"
"I would rather not see something like that happen again sister. And therefore, I have a request to make of you. I want a student of my own, and I would like your help to find them."
Celestia looked at her through one cracked eye, a faint smile on her face as she said, “That so…? Then I’ll start looking…”
"Thank you, sister. I want to pass down my teachings as well, so that equestria may have a better chance at survival next time."
Celestia yawned and stretched, a few satisfying pops coming from her back and wings as she fully woke up. “Well, I would certainly love to help, Luna! Now, what would you like for your student to be?”
"I would like them to be a Thestral. I feel… connected to them after my time as Nightmare Moon." Luna looks away, not daring to meet her sister's eyes, her actions from back then still fresh in her mind.
Celestia smiled warmly before coming over to give the mare a hug, wrapping her wings around her as she did. "I keep telling you to stop worrying about back then, sister… But try as I might, I never was able to find out where your Thestrals vanished off to. The only clue that I have is a cryptic message that roughly translated to, 'Ye know of us'..."
"They chose to reside in the Everfree Forest until the time came where they were needed again. You can find them there."
Celestia blinked in shock, then palmed her face with a sigh. "That is honestly the one place I never thought of checking, as it's too dangerous and wild to most creatures…"
"Yes. I understand why you would think they couldn't possibly go there, but my Thestrals are stronger than most ponies. At least that's something I can take pride in. Shall I go with you, sister?"
Celestia chuckled, and hugged her once more. "Try the other way around, dear Luna… If you were to suddenly disappear into the forest and return with a new race of pony, or dragged me off with you without announcing it first, things might get dangerous quickly as nobles would call you out as having brainwashed me."
"Truly? These foul ingrates do not deserve to call themselves nobles. But I understand, dear sister. Be careful, won't you?"
She nodded and kissed Luna on the cheek before going off to get dressed for the days events, motioning for Luna to take a nap in her bed while Tia set things up for them to go to the Everfree Forest.
Luna nodded, happy to take her up on the offer to sleep, she quickly got under the covers and settled into bed, drifting off easier thanks to her sister's warmth.
When Luna was woken up by a servant, it was late afternoon, meaning Tia had let her get some decent rest before setting things up for their travels to the Forest to find her little ponies.
"Apologies for disturbing you, Princess Luna, but Princess Celestia has requested your attendance for a trip into the Everfree Forest to find your lost ponies, the Thestrals…" the servant said nervously, fully aware of how agitated Luna could be when disturbed from her sleep.
"Very well. Leave me in peace. I shall go see my sister right away." Luna shooed off the guard as she wiped her eyes.
The guard bowed and hurried away, sighing in relief as she closed the door behind her.
Luna stood up and stretched, yawning away her sleep as she mentally got ready for the day. She made sure to get herself properly prepared before heading out to meet her sister in the Everfree. Once there, she spoke up as she stood beside her. "Are you ready, sister?"
Celestia nodded once, and gripped the shaft of her halberd a little tighter, nervous about the horrors that hid within the heart of the cursed forest… "As ready as I can be, sister…"
Luna held her own spear closer to her chest, keeping her eyes peeled for danger as they walked in. Luna tried to see if she could still sense her ponies in the forest.
She was able to get a faint pull from deeper into the forest, but it seemed to be coming from the very heart of the dark woods.
Luna locked onto that feeling and made her way towards it, hoping to find her ponies quickly. "Come, sister. They're deeper inside than I thought. We'll have to be ready for anything."
Celestia took a steadying breath, then nodded once more, following after her with a small fire behind her to help light their path without putting themselves at risk of being attacked by any of the more… light sensitive beasts in the forest.
Luna kept her eyes peeled for any threats as she gripped her spear. For a brief moment she considered the possibility that they might be safe, but knowing where she was, that was impossible. She tried to focus once again on their presence. Which was the only thing that let her notice that they were surrounded by her Thestrals, guarding them as they were silently escorted into the heart of the forest, where they had spirited themselves away…
"It's quiet, Luna… I don't particularly enjoy how quiet it is…" Celestia said as she was also looking around, trying to keep an eye out for any possible threats the same as her sister.
"Sister, put away your weapons. We are safe now." She said, not looking back despite her own words.
Celestia blinked in confusion, but willed her halberd back to the armory, teleporting it back in a golden flash of light. "What do you mean, Luna? We're very clearly alone here…"
"It's them. My ponies are here. They're watching us. Keeping us safe." She wills her own weapon to the armory in the same way, relaxing her body and walking with more of a pep in her step.
Celestia lets out a sigh of relief, extinguishing her light to avoid disrupting their night vision too much before resting a hand on Luna's shoulder so that her own eyes could adjust to the darkness of the forest's shadow. "Well that's a relief…"
Luna placed her hand over Celestia's own to reassure her and continued walking, letting her ponies guide her to their newest home, causing Celestia to blush faintly at the contact. Several thoughts of what she could've done back then zipping through her mind, along with thoughts of how lucky her student would be to be able to spend one on one time with her sister…
When they finally arrived, it was nearly midnight, and Luna was surprised to see that her children have been thriving to such a degree in such a dangerous place. She knew they had it in them, but to see this was astonishing. The entire place seemed to have been made using the forest itself as a natural building, keeping any pegasus flying overhead from noticing it. The area at the edge of the town was ringed by Poison Joke to deter some of the more dangerous creatures, since NOTHING in this forest was as dangerous as getting afflicted by the flower… And then she noticed the tunnels leading underground! There was more that wasn't visible just by stumbling across the village!
"Sister…? Why'd we stop…?" Celestia asked, starting to get antsy as she was effectively blind this deep in the forest, doubly so when it was so late at night.
"Look around, sister. The forest has changed. Everything looks… structured. And there are tunnels leading underground. Perhaps they have begun to move through them..." Luna decided it was time to call for her children, and used a special sound spell that only they could hear. It was a covert signal she used to send orders to her troops long ago, but she still remembered it with ease.
"Luna… I can't see anything. I'm effectively blind and can't tell if my eyes are open or closed right now," Celestia reminded her, a faint bit of agitation in her voice as she did.
"Ah, yes. Forgive me sister. Here, let me," she said as she cast another special spell. It seemed to be a simple light spell, but rather than the brilliant shine of her sister's light, there was the cool blue radiance of her own moon's light. "How about now?"
Celestia let out a breath and relaxed as she looked around, able to see properly now. "Much better… Thank you, sister." She then looked down and leapt up to the treetops upon recognizing the flower that was just a few places away from them. "LUNA GET AWAY FROM THOSE FLOWERS!"
Luna stopped immediately and scattered to the trees as well, knowing just what her sister was talking about and wanting nothing to do with it. "Thank you, sister. You saved me."
A few of the Thestrals stepped out of the shadows as they flew over the dangerous flowers, more coming out of the houses and tunnels at having heard Luna's special call spell. They gathered close to the edge of the flower border, eyeing the flowers carefully before leaping up to meet the diarchs of Equestria. Three ponies in particular stepped forward, all old and clearly veterans of some sort.
"Hail, Night Mother Luna…" said one of the elder Thestrals, a stallion with silvery white hair and a scar across his muzzle.
"Hello to you as well, elder. I am glad to see that my children still remember the call. I assume you were aware that we would arrive?"
He nodded, pulling out a scroll with a pink butterfly as the binding. "We were, Night Mother. The Kind One has served us well, acting as a messenger between us and the village outside the forest. Thank you for guiding her to us." He then bowed once more.
"She has, has she? I see. I suppose I should thank her for her service later. But for now, I have an announcement to make. Two in fact, and they are of the utmost importance. The first, is that I am ready to reintegrate the thestrals back into pony society."
The first elder looked to the other two, both of whom nodded their consent. "Very well, Night Mother… And what, pray tell, would your second announcement be…? We had expected you to wish for us to return some day, be it through treaty or through blade…"
"It will be through treaty. I have put my poor sister through enough pain as it is. As for my second announcement, I will be taking on a student from among you. I will teach them everything I know, so that they may become an asset to Equestria. I will be holding interviews to gauge your worth, so any who wish to study under me, please speak up now," Luna said as she turned to address the village as a whole for the second announcement.
After a few dozen interviews, and Celestia gushing about how amazing the village was, both above ground and under, Luna was about to close up for the night when one more filly came scampering into her tent. She'd looked like another Thestral… if it weren't for her golden curls for a mane and tail and ocean blue eyes. And when the little filly bowed, Luna saw a faint shimmer of an illusion spell on the edges of her wings, hiding something…
"And what is your name, little one? Why do you wish to become my student?" Luna asked with a kind smile as she reached down and pet the filly's head.
She shivered in joy at Luna simply touching her… "B-because I want to help my brother protect the v-village…"
"You want to protect the village? How admirable of you, dear~. Do you promise to listen closely to my teachings?"
She nodded, wanting to learn from Luna. She knew nopony in the village would let her learn how to fight… More because any mare that wanted to learn to fight were full blooded Thestrals, unlike her…
"Very well, little one, but you must make me this promise. You must swear that you will use what you learn to protect Equestria, myself and my sister with all that you have. And you must be prepared for any hardships that may befall you during your studies."
She smiled widely as she went to do just that, right before a hand reached in and grabbed her by the scruff of her neck, a gruff and clearly aggravated voice coming from outside the tent. “So THIS is where you ran off to… Jade Heart, get back to the kitchen, half breed!”
"Let her go." Luna called out to the stallion, stopping him in his tracks. She calls on her magic to grab him and bring him face to face with her. "Explain yourself. Quickly."
He gulped, now thoroughly scared. “I… I was telling her to get back to where she was supposed to be, Night Mother…”
"Not that, you foal. What do you mean, half-breed?" Her gaze darkened as she glared at him, mentally deciding whether to let him go or throw him aside for his insolence.
“Sh-she is not a full blooded Thestral, Night Mother…” He said in fear.
She thought for a moment, then sighed, putting him down. "You are not to refer to her like that from now on. It is of no matter to me what she is, and using it to degrade her is wrong and very much against the code I taught you. Do you understand?"
He gulped and nodded, letting her go instantly as she said that.
"So Jade Heart is your name?" Luna asked the filly as she set her eyes on her.
Jade nodded, nervously. “Y-yes… Sorry, Night Mother…”
"It is fine, although, why did you feel the need to lie, dear? Dishonesty is not very becoming of a student of mine."
“W-well… Everypony around here treats me differently because of it…” Jade said as she looked down.
"I understand your desire to hide your true self in order to avoid judgement, but you cannot hide from who you are. It is better to embrace it with all you have and enjoy it, because that difference is what makes you special. Reveal your wings to me, dear."
Jade hesitantly reaches up to a metal collar that blended in with her fur and unclasped it, revealing how her wings had small golden yellow feathers at the end. “P-please don’t hate me…”
"I could never hate you, dear. You look beautiful." Luna crosses her arms and thinks for a moment. "Very well. I have chosen. You will be my student."
Jade blushes a deep red and her wings flare out as she asks, “R-really…?”
"Yes, really. I want to take you under my wing and teach you everything I know. Be proud, Jade Heart. This is your achievement."
After making her decision and sending the thestrals on their way, Luna and her sister set about getting their own rest in what appeared to be a specially made tent. The two made their way inside and were shocked at just how much they had gone out of their way for them. But Luna was not in much of a mood to look around, and held her sister close as she drifted off before her.
When she finally fell asleep, she almost immediately became aware that someone was looking into her dreams from the edges of her perception… And it felt oddly familiar too.
"Oh? Who's there? Who has entered my sacred dreamscape…?" Luna said, looking around. As Princess of the night and watcher of dreams, her sleep was the most important part of her job. And to have others intrude upon it was considered rude in her beliefs, but as she calmed down, She realized she recognized this feeling. "Could it be…?"
Jade stepped out from behind a tree, hugging herself fearfully. "N-Night Mother…? Wh-where am I…?"
"You are in my dreamscape little one, although I don't quite understand how you've ended up here. May I ask what you were doing before now? "
She shuffled a little, then took a deep breath to steady herself. "I… I used to help the other orphans sleep better each night… I just thought I was dreaming about them when I helped them in my sleep…"
"You have...the power to dreamwalk…? Nopony other than myself has had that power for years. I am quite surprised that such a young filly has such talent." Luna smiles at her. "Perhaps I was right to choose you as my successor. Would you like me to teach you?"
She nodded, smiling widely as her wings flared out. Tearing her clothes off her small form when they did. It only took a few seconds of blushing before Jade looked down at her now naked form and cried out in embarrassment, hurrying to cover herself. "I'm sorry, Night Mother!"
"There is no need to feel embarrassed, Jade. We are in a dream. Nopony can see you but me. And I must say I like what I see..."
She turned bright red but lowered her wings, showing off her petite body. "R-really…?"
"Really. You're very cute, Jade," Luna smiled lovingly at her and planted a kiss on her cheek as she said that. "Shall we take a walk~?"
Jade gulped and nodded, thoroughly embarrassed and excited at the prospect. "S-sure…"
"Good, then follow me," Luna said as she took the lead and walked off toward what looked to be a hall of doors.
Jade followed close behind, her eyes wandering to Luna's rear and barely hidden marehood. She silently cursed that ethereal tail of hers, as it kept her from getting a good view of Luna's honeypot.
Luna didn't quite notice her staring, but even as her mind shifted gears to work, she couldn't keep the sight of Jade's body out of her mind, the image causing her to hike her tail just enough for her to see her marehood.
"Are you paying attention, Jade? I said each door represents a different kind of dream. Black is for nightmares, blue is for more exotic dreams, and pink is for… well…"
"M-more… Erotic dreams…?" Jade asked, gulping as she did as Luna's tail flicked across her muzzle and drew her gaze to the lunar diarchs snatch. 'Oh, by Faust, is Luna sexy…! Is she doing that on purpose…?' She thought, not realizing thoughts might as well be vocalized in the dreamscape.
"Doing what on purpose, little one? Wait. You think I'm sexy…? Really?" Luna was shocked. She knew they were devoted, but she never thought one of her children would be interested in her.
Jade's eyes went wide in horror, believing she had said it out loud on accident. "I… I…" she then deflated and nodded, readying herself for the screams of disappointment and disapproval. Nopony in the village understood why she loved Luna that way, not even herself… All she knew was that she believed Luna to be the pinnacle of sexual perfection.
"Sexual perfection you say? Well then, I… I am flattered..." Luna looked away in slight embarrassment at the praise she was receiving.
Jade whimpered and covered her face, trying to marshal her quickly spiraling thoughts. But wasn't quite quick enough for one desire she'd had for some time of seeing young Luna, and being dominated by the alicorn and forced to lick her fillyhoodclean while Luna used her as a toilet..
"You want to see me when I was a filly? And you want me to… dominate you? Jade? Is this truly what you want?"
The poor filly squeaked in embarrassment. After a little bit she lowered her hands and nodded, thoroughly ashamed with herself. Luna wouldn't do something so degrading, especially not for some half breed like herself, Jade knew that as fact. The village made sure she knew it to be fact… "Y-yes…"
Despite her inner despair about Luna being disappointed in her, she would hear the sound of magic flaring as Luna returned herself to her filly state, white and blue wings spreading out with still awe inspiring length. Her snow white mane and tail shimmered in the dream light as she looked down at her from her taller, though very diminished size. Jade gazed upon her and bit her lip lightly, feeling her desires and lust welling up behind her mental gates.
“Y-you look.. S-so sexy~...” Was all Jade managed to say before her lust spilled over, and with it, all her deepest desires washed over Luna.
"Oh dear… you have been waiting for a very long time, haven't you? Come. Please your princess," Luna said as she gestured for her to come closer, a predatory smile on her face.
Jade panted slightly as she walked over to her, then got on her knees and gave her fillyhood a lick, shivering in delight at the taste. “B-blueberries…?”
"Why yes. This is a dream after all. I may taste however you wish, but I have tasted of blueberries since I was a filly. My sister made sure I was quite aware of mine own flavor. Now go deeper~." Luna said, pushing Jade’s head back between her legs. Not that the filly would complain as she happily, eagerly, did as she was asked- no… Commanded. Luna had commanded that Jade eat her out properly, and she intended to do just that, pushing her “longer than average” tongue as deep as she could and swirling it about, moaning at the taste of Luna’s fillyhood.
"Nnngh~! Oh, dear… you're quite adept with that tongue of yours~. It's been so long since I've been touched that I had forgotten how it feels. The touch of another, the desire to seek pleasure together. I am most grateful to you, Jade." Luna said as she grinded her hips against Jade's tongue, feeling herself getting closer and closer to orgasm.
Jade smiled faintly, feeling the fears she’d had for years melt away at the praise. She was inexperienced, not for lack of trying mind, but what she lacked in experience she made up for in eagerness to please.
Soon, Luna found herself on the edge of orgasm, and was about to reach climax until an idea popped into her head. She pulled Jade away and let go, licking her lips at the thoughts running through her head. "Lay back, my child."
Jade did so, small hearts in her eyes as she panted in excitement. She wanted this, and Luna knew it… Which only made her wetter between her legs. Her pleasure was in the hands of the beautiful alicorn standing over her, and she decided when Jade would be allowed to cum…
Luna gave the filly a loving smile, and knelt down to begin fingering her, when yet another idea came to her mind, but that would come later, for now she simply fingered the little filly. Slowly at first, but gradually picking up speed as time went on.
“Nnn~! M-mother~!” Jade called out, blushing profusely as she felt Luna begin to finger her snatch.
"That's right, my child. Call out to me. Praise my name and beg me for more pleasure~." She begins to finger her faster and harder than before, though she never quite lets her cum.
Jade whined and squirmed trying to get that little push to go over the edge, always staying just out of reach… “P-please, Mother~! P-please let me cum!”
It was time to enact her plan. She could ingrain her teachings better this way. "Jade, do you remember what I said Black doors were?"
“N-nightmare!” Jade answered, hoping she could earn her release by answering quickly.
"And wouldn't it be quite the nightmare for you if I stopped right now? Leaving you just on the edge of cumming with a vibrator just teasing you at the lowest possible setting as I spanked your naughty rump?" Suddenly the dreamscape would shift and change to exactly that. Luna in a domination outfit spanking the still dripping jade with a riding crop.
Jade’s eyes widened in both fear and excitement. “W-what…?” She then glanced around, both highly aroused, and also very fearful.
"I am your mistress now, dear~. You will refer to me as such, otherwise your fillyhood will have quite the blush when I'm through with it~." She whips at her fillyhood with the crop, just hard enough to sting, causing Jade to yelp in both pleasure and mild pain.
“Y-yes mistress!” Jade quickly called out, her lust and love of the mare before her building quickly.
Luna continues to whip her, a few more times on her fillyhood, and the rest on her plump little rump, causing it to turn red with her mark. "You want to cum, yes~?"
“Y-yes, mistress~!” Jade calls out again, shuddering in pleasure and lust.
"Then I'll let you cum~." Luna used her magic to make a strap on, which she then put on, and slowly pushed inside the young filly's snatch. "This may hurt, little one. Are you ready?"
Jade moaned loudly, then nodded. She glanced up at her lustfully as she said through a breathy moan, “Y-yes Mistress~...”
With that, Luna began. She pushed inside further and further, inch by inch until she was sure she had hilted inside her. Then she began to move. It was slow at first, but over time she would go faster and harder as Jade got used to her.
Jade moaned in bliss, pressing back a little as Luna began to fuck her with the strapon. It was almost perfect, in the fillies eyes, for her to be in this position. For her to be Luna’s pet and stress relief…
Luna sped up soon after, thrusting harder as she did. She began to spank the naughty little filly over and over, making her ass jiggle from her effort. "Do you enjoy being dominated by me? Being forced to submit and to obey my every desire~?"
Jade whined needily, bouncing back lightly. “Y-yes~...! I l-love it, Mother~!”
"Then say it. Scream your desires to the heavens and to me, so that I may make them reality for you." She begins to thrust as hard and fast as she can, casting a spell to make her false cock a true one.
“B-breed me~! M-make me a proper m-mare, Mother~!” Jade called out, shuddering as she felt the strapon shift slightly.
"Very well~." Luna smirked as she kept up this pace, pumping in and out with all her might until finally, after a few more hard thrusts, she let loose, cumming hard into Jade and filling her with her seed.
Jade gasped in shock and pleasure, feeling her young womb fill with Luna’s spunk. “A-ah~...? Wh-when did you make it r-real, Mother…?”
"Just a few seconds ago, dear. Now then… how do you feel after having your dreams come true~?"
Jade turned bright red as she asked, “Y-you’d… You’d do that for s-somepony like me…?”
"Of course I would. You're my student after all. Now how about I teach you the more… hidden secrets of dreamwalking next?" Luna said in a sultry voice.
“P-please…?” Jade asked, now more worried about disappointing her than anything else.
"Calm yourself, dear. I promise I will not be angry should you fail. What kind of teacher would I be if I were to give up on my precious student before they had even begun. Now then. Come. We have work to do," Luna said as she led her into a nightmare door.
Jade paused at the border of the inky blackness before taking a steadying breath and following Luna inside, fully intent on making the lunar alicorn proud…
The area was pure darkness for a moment, then the dream came into focus and suddenly, they were being chased by a crowd of villagers, the dreamer in front of the pack, running for her life.
"W-what is this…?" Jade asked, trying to see if she could make put any familiar faces out of the bunch, growing more fearful when the only times the faces were actively visible being when the dreamer looked back at the mob.
"It is somepony's dream. And we have entered their dreamscape. Our job is to help them realize it is only a dream so they can sleep peacefully. But don't touch anything, for it could disturb the dream," Luna chided as she saw the filly reaching for a rather dark looking flower.
Jade quickly scurried away, whimpering in fear when one of the featureless figures ran past her, screaming and holding a pitchfork. "Th-then how do we help!? I… I've always fought off the thing causing it before…"
"We have to find the dreamer and figure out what they're afraid of. Then we can help them move past it and see the dream for what it is. For example." Luna charges her horn and blasts away the crowd, watching as they dissolve into darkness and fade away.
The pony collapsed to the ground crawling away from Luna in horror still screaming as the fear hadn't properly faded yet. "No! Don't hurt me! I swear I didn't do anything to them!"
Jade rushed forward and hugged them, quietly singing a calming lullaby to try and help calm them down… Only to be shocked as the scenery itself began to change around them. The fires began to fade away, and the smoke in the air all but vanished. They seemed to have calmed down as they looked between Luna and Jade with a sigh of relief.
"S-sorry, Princess Luna… I… I don't know why I was so worried about the village chasing me… All I did was help Jade to be a good little filly… Think I'm the only one that treated her well in the entire village…" He said, petting Jade's head absentmindedly, his eyes not truly seeing her.
"I understand your fear. I, too, cannot believe my children would oust one of their own. I believe I taught them better than that. Perhaps I should not allow them out of the forest after all… no, that would only make their xenophobia worse." Luna thinks for a moment before nodding her head and smiling. "I want you two to listen very closely..."
"Yes, Princess?" He asked as he turned to Luna, his glossy eyes clearing up once he was looking at her. Jade also turned to face her, still hugging the stallion now that she had recognized the poor orphanage runner.
