Taking the Queen

Five laps. Chrysalis had managed five laps today and had even managed a short flight from one side of the track to the other. It felt spectacular to be able to climb off the ground, finally. This was a massive improvement to how she had been previously, and she owed it all to Spiceberry. Without him building her up, feeding her his love and giving her extra training in his spare time, she didn't know if she would have even been able to replicate what she'd done earlier in the week, much less surpass it. She was beginning to regain her muscle mass and tension, all because she now had something to look forward to.

Spiceberry was not around today to run alongside her, but she could imagine that he was running just in front of her, making her want to catch up with him. The red berries and tiny leaves of his cutie mark she could see so clearly in her mind bobbing up and down just in front of her. It was all that kept her going.

Still, no matter how much she had been bulking up, no matter how much the echoes of his voice egged her on, she had not been visited by him this morning, due to his own schedule not allowing it. There was thus a limit to how much energy she had, and after her short flight, for which she barely hovered a metre off the ground, she was out of breath and drenched in sweat. This was truly a workout.

"Colour me impressed," chuckled Starlight. "I can't believe this level of improvement. In such a short time, I never would have guessed that you'd be back on your wings and up in the air."

"Perhaps there's more to me than you know," smirked Chrysalis, still huffing and puffing.

"Or perhaps it's your new stallion friend. How about we test that, by making sure you don't see him for the next wee--"

"NO!" shouted Chrysalis, catching herself with a cough. "I mean, do you really want to risk me regressing to an earlier state? It just means more work for you."

Starlight smiled and chuckled. "I thought so. Come on, you need another shower."

Starlight didn't even bother to grab the leash. Shining had one end, but Starlight made Chrysalis carry the other. It wasn't heavy, but it was an odd feeling, like she was being tested. She considered the meaning of such a test, and could only guess at it. Still, she remembered the way, as it was a very short walk to the showers.

When she arrived, there were several stallions all lined up against the wall. Spiceberry was not among them, she noticed, but they were waiting for her. All of the shower stalls were open except one, where a stallion was rubbing a loofah over his arse. If they had been here to shower, they'd had plenty of options.

Shining dropped her leash to the floor, and she carried it over to one of the stalls and turned on the water. Starlight followed her and stood at the edge of the stall to watch as the first two stallions approached, one for a hoofjob and the other for head. She didn't need to say anything, as she wanted to prove to Starlight that she had improved significantly.

She went down all the way, ignoring her gag reflex with all of her might and stretching out her tongue, wrapping under his balls and teasing at his arsehole. This proved to be a mistake, as he pretty much came instantly with a moan that went by so fast that it almost sounded like a yelp. He took two steps back on wobbly knees and fell over, With Chrysalis unable to determine what to do.

A third stallion had gone to Shining Armor to collect some brushes, and as he had only just arrived with them, the first stallion to leave was walking out without having scrubbed. Starlight's response was to wave over a specific pony from the middle of the line. "Captain, you're well aware of the rules, yes?"

"I am, Ms. Starlight," he nodded. "Were it not for the brief nature of this event, I would follow after him and administer punishment post-haste, but I fear that doing so would cost me my place in line."

"Your reservation is noted," responded Starlight. "Go chew his arse out now, and when you're done, come find me, and she'll eat yours."

"Yes ma'am," he replied with a big smile before walking off. Chrysalis had to wonder if she was going to regret that exchange, if she might have been better off speaking up, but she kept her mouth shut. Rather, she kept it open, as a new stallion was approaching who wanted to use it.

The first fifteen loads she swallowed or had sprayed on her were from the front, with stallions brushing out her mane while fucking her throat, one grabbing her firmly by the horn and forcing his way in before wiping her face with a soapy rag, rather than doing any scrubbing. Her mane was silky smooth by the time Starlight demanded that she turn around.

Chrysalis decided to try out something Spiceberry had suggested yesterday while he had been inside of her. They hadn't tried it, as he was already very close to climax and about to leave, but she wondered if he had been right. Rather than placing her front hooves against the wall, she spread her back legs and lowered her chest to the floor.

"Well, well," chuckled Starlight. "Have we been playing with our favourite stallion? Has he been teaching us how to beg for cock like a bitch in heat?"

Chrysalis didn't know what to say. She had thought the position a bit unorthodox, but Spiceberry had promised her that the other stallions would dive after her if she did it.

"All yours, boys," smirked Starlight. Immediately, Chrysalis felt a stallion mount her and begin plowing away with vigour. She could definitely feel the effort he was putting into her, and whether he was intending to or not, he was spilling his love everywhere. In fact, so did the next one, and the one after that, and all of the others. Quite a few had been so into the experience that they forgot their task of scrubbing her, meaning that they were chewed out by the captain, who'd only just come back to watch what was going on.

After the last stallion came without scrubbing, Chrysalis was given a scrubber to clean herself up, which she did promptly before being walked back to her cell past a lot of guards doing extra push-ups. This time, Shining carried her dirty track suit, and tossed it in the bin on arrival.

"I had brought in a small bronze mirror and a brush," instructed Starlight. "From now on, I expect your mane to be free of tangles every time I come by."

Chrysalis nodded as she unwrapped the coils so she could be reattached to the wall. She'd only just begun when Starlight stopped her and unlocked the right one entirely, freeing her hoof.

"You've done very well, recently. Impressively well, in fact. The left side is going to be a little bit shorter, but your right hoof is now free to reach through the bars. You're almost to the same level of freedom as a regular, run-of-the-mill prisoner. Keep at it. Really, I mean that."
