The Mayor Of Canterlot

If silence remains my power I share. In this room, all stories are shared, no matter if they are facts or fakes.

At the dawn of the second day, those that figured out the clue made their way to the royal library. Some wanted to try their luck, while others were looking for a simple rematch after losing the previous trial. The latter chose to try this room alone, not wanting to pay for the mistakes of the rest.

An overweight pegasus mare with light pink fur and a dark pink long puffy mane, dressed in a formal purple suit at some point had to kneel down from the pain as she heard some mares rushing toward the human after they spot it until she realized they were heading straight into a bookshelf with an illusion rock projecting the image of the human.

"W-Wait! That is a...!" The mare tried to warn them but it was too late, and by the time they realized the trick, all of them crash into the bookshelf sprung rocky arms that grab hold of their limps pinning them against the furniture, two claws appearing underneath and ripping their lower pieces of clothing exposing their soaked pussies before they got to work fingering them as the shelf spin in place swallow their victims inside the fake wall. "...trap"

Surprise the mare slowly stood up leaning against a bookshelf before retreating her hand when another golem hand almost grab her and realizing the shelves against the wall were rigged, so she step lightly and headed to the center of the room.

"Well spot it" Suddenly she heard the voice of Mark behind her and before she could turn around he brought her into a bear hug and cover her mouth so as to not make any noise as he shush her. "Please, madam this is a library. We must stay quiet." He start to nuzzle her cheek which make her calm down as her mind started to cloud by the smell of a male. "Told you I'll be on the hunt too, but don't worry, I'm not here to send you to horny jail, in fact, you could consider this, a type of reward"

The mare starts to shiver as he rubs his hand on her arm and slowly lets go of the hug he starts to play with her stomach, while she starts licking his fingers.

"There you go, we are all friends here. In fact, I think we have met before. What is your name dear?"

"Dime Polisher" She replies in a whisper as he let her go and starts kissing her neck while she grinds her hips against his crouch "I'm the royal treasurer. We have clashed heads on more than one occasion when it comes to tax collection"

"Right! Dimey! What are you doing here?" He ask stopping his actions to look at her in honest surprise "I thought you would be with your husband or herd by now"

To his surprise, she suddenly went stiff and pushed him away "Way to ruin the mood jerk" She turns around and cross her arms with a huff.

"What did I do?"

"Please, spare me the lies. Husband or herd? I'm an obese pegasus in charge of everyone's taxes! I might as well be wearing a sign that reads "stud repellent". She looks down in shame "Not that I blame them if they don't fear me. What stallion would love a pig like me?"

Smiling he goes and hugs her from behind "Don't say that, you are a very attractive mare, in fact, to that question. Want the list in alphabetic or color palate?"

"I say enough with the...!" She wants to push him away but he tightened the hug

"I'm not lying!" He tells with authority startling Dime "Dimey you are a lovely, charming mare. Any stallion...no any herd would love to have you. Sure you can be a bit cold, and even aggressive and stiff when it comes to rules, and taxes."

She start to relax and let him continue his nuzzlings "But if you were a tinsy bit more friendly if you were just a notch more confident with yourself instead of hiding behind so much anger..." She shivers when he kisses her neck "Believe me, stallions would be lining up to see you. Mares too if you were interested"

She giggles cutely before looking away unsure "Liar, nobody likes fat chicks. You are just saying that just so I don't jump..." She is cut off when Mark interrupts her by pinching one of her sensitive nipples.

"Oh Dimey, you really should not be so harsh with yourself, sure there are stallions that like them thin, but a plus-size mare?" He growls in her ear making her shiver "Has their own irresistible charms, and right off the top of my head I can name four assets you can be more than proud of, one in between your legs been a prime example" He starts to play with her large breast making her nipples grow stiff and hard. "I bet if you tease others with this, succulent mountains just a tiny bit...well there is a reason I choose you Dimey, l could have chosen literally any other mare but seeing you in pain and with such a body, right in the open?" He tells lightly biting her left wing making all of her fur and feathers stand to an end. "An animal has to eat. Hope you understand. My point is you are way more attractive than what you give yourself credit for."

"P-prove it," She tells with a whimper starting to get more and more excited.

"Oh gladly but before there is a little message I need you to deliver the princesses, would you do that for me Dimey?" He asks pulling a lamp revealing a fake wall where he drags her into a secret room with a bed on it.

"I will say anything! You can play with my ass and tits as much as you want!" She surrenders to her lust and grabs his hands, but to his confusion rather than push him into the bed she guides him into placing one hand on her neck as to strangle her and the other to grab her wrist and press her arm against her back. "Pin me to the wall, and call me your dirty piggy bank! Make a deposit Mark, make a deposit on your naughty, dirty, piggy!" She tells with hearts in her eyes getting slightly desperate and wiggling her huge ass as Mark could only blink in confused arousal.

"Thank you Dimey, oh I'm sorry my sexy dirty piggy bank," He tells with a smile as he pins her against the bed and starts to work on undressing her while whispering the message into her ear, all the while Dime only giggles like a school filly in excited anticipation.

"G-Got it! AH...Yes! yes, this is happening it finally happening!" Dime was virtually drooling and then start to moan when Mark get to work on undressing her. Even though she was already worked up he decided to play a little and put two of his fingers into her drenched truffle as she giggle, shivered, and moans "Yes make my crack nice and wide for your big roll of cash"

Mark laugh and roll his eyes at her dirty talk until he saw some glow showing underneath his glove

Wait, no, no, no NOT now! In alarm, he try to pull away but it was too late as the suction swallow the globe and he saw his hand shining brightly before it discharge right into Dime's pussy provoking an orgasm and freezing her clit making it impossible for her to stop and continue to cum without any sigh of stopping, effectively turning the poor mare into a faucet, and losing her voice mid-scream as it continues for over a couple of minutes, until it was finally over.

"Oh god! Dime! Dime!" He grabs her cheeks as her eyes roll back "Talk to me, are you alright?" He shakes her a bit and her body finally goes limp.

Exhausted she starts to laugh briefly. "Don't know what that was, but by Celestia please tell me you can do it...with your dick. One seco...s" She falls unconscious in his arm and he let her go when noticing more sparks on his hand again follow by it going numb, and then an indescribable pain as it keeps discharging.

Hugging himself he grabs his hand and closes his eyes holding back tears trying to ride the pain.

The hex... its power is leaking!... I need...to re-seal it Grabbing his wrist and keeping the discharging hand close to his chest the human slowly goes away ignoring the pain and not even caring that he left his glove behind.

That afternoon in the throne room

Finishing some paperwork the princess couldn't help but feel a certain tension in the room. Soon after taking a nap Ink Well return to relative normalcy. She didn't explain much and only request that they don't ask what exactly happen and to go back to work as if nothing had happened, which the princess was completely on board yet one question kept pestering at the back of her head.

What exactly did Mark do to you and why he didn't do it to me?

The sound of hooves on the floor alert the two mares and looking up they saw Princess Luna arriving for the shift of rulers, as well as the quo for Inkwell to take her leave for the end of her shift. Bowing respectfully at the two the secretary took her papers and left the room so the siblings could have a moment for themselves.

"Hello Tia"

"Evening Lulu, did you rest well?"

"I did, thanks for asking" They keep the formal greeting up until the guards and Inkwell leave. Once they heard the door close and Celestia nodded, Luna let go a sigh before speaking "We need to talk about Mark"

"Oh by the stars, thank you! We sure have" Celestia reply with a nod as she stood up and approach Luna "I gather the same happen to you then?"

Luna raised an eyebrow at that statement "Too? Wait that is what you meant by 'vitamin M'? Sister! When did you...?" Celestia cut her off.

"Rest assured, the kiss was as much of a surprise for me as it was for you. And more surprising, seems to have affected you in the same form, did it not?"

"Yes and I just don't understand why?" Luna paced back and forward "It was merely a kiss, it wasn't lustful, it wasn't forced, for pony sake, I'm not even sure if it was passionate or long! How come something so simple manages to clear our heads so much!"

"I don't know Luna, I simply don't know, but I know one thing. If we are to find out, we would need further investigation"

"Agree, for the sake of science and to keep each other in line we need to work together in solving Mark's riddles" Luna extend her hand, and with a nod Celestia complete the gesture, sealing the dealing "There haven't been any winners yet, right?" Luna raised an eyebrow as her sister shake her head.

"None seems like with each day everyone's minds but ours get duller and focus on their more primitive urges, which means we are STILL on the lead sort of speak" Celestia announce with pride until their heard a knocking on the door.

Moments later a guard entered with Dime in a similar stated Inkwell was 2 days ago. "I'm sorry your highness, she insisted that it was urgent. It ah...eh a message from the mayor" Immediately their nostrils flare up and could detect Mark's smell on a globe she was wearing as the mare bowed to them.

"Pardon the interruption your highness, but the mayor insists that I brought this message in pony"

"Think nothing of it Ms. Dime" Luna answered "Please tell us, what news do you have?"

"The mayor asked me to tell you this. 'In order to mix things up and inject some friendly competition. Today there could only be one winner"

The room became completely silent at the revelation minus Dime who keep giggling in complete satisfaction "Don't ask me, I'm just the messenger and by Celestia, what a payment for being one" She proclaim in pride as the princesses process the message and take suspicious glances at one another.

At the same time in a secret room located in the library

Fighting off the pain, Mark completes an octagram drawing with the omega symbol in the middle of it, on the floor made of wooden ashes. Taking out a small bottle he pour a strange purple liquid that caused the circle to ignite on a purple flame. Sitting cross leg the human took a depth breath and extend his palm at the flames "I seek the assistance of the Sisterhood of Ohms."

Suddenly from the flames emerged a giant antropormorfic elderly Olm nun, dressed in the usual black and white cleric uniform deck full of jewelry with a purple veil covering her mouth and only showing her milky eyes as she extend her arms at the surprised human.

"Mother Superior?!" The human exclaimed slightly startle that she answer the call.

"Human child, I was expecting your call" The elder olm addressed the human with a calm serene, and almost maternal voice, as even with the veil the human knew she was smiling at him. "Let me see you, child. I have yearned to admire how much you have grown since the last time we last spoke"

"It nice seeing you too Mother Superior" Mark replies having recovered from the initial shock, "Even if a bit abrupt"

With a raised eyebrow the Olm chuckled briefly "I see you are still unfazed by my ability to admire you despite my blindness"

"It's a human thing, Mother, like I told you before, for me is easier to believe" He has to hold his hand again from the pain "And not to be rude or anything but why did you answer Mother? I was sure one of the sisters would have taken the call"

"Because today is a joyful occasion and I anticipated you would be calling today, so I waited to give you a very special message" She gets closer to him "The last candle finally snuff out dear. Your hexes have finally reached maturity"

His eyes wide as he looks up at her "The candles light up? How? You told me, that because I didn't have magic, the process would not even start and the best I could hope was using half its potential"

"Please forgive me for my white light, the time of the candles has always been unpredictable and the process could take either 5 days or 5 years. I didn't want to tie you up in the tribe. But the truth is, the timer started soon after you left. And today the mother of all has accepted you into her boson child. Soon the final mark on your back would appear, marking the end of your training. Rejoice!"

"So this searing pain..." He can't finish as he has to clench his teeth and close his eyes while holding his hex hand.

"Yes, it is unfortunately part of the process, but more importantly, it announces the time to show your mark. Human child..." She extend her hand at him "You are yet to master the final 6 hexes, and I'm afraid by reaching maturity the resealing would no longer take any effect, there is no choice but to speed up your mastery of those final marks"

"But Mother Superior, those hexes...they are my less favorite...how am I...? I don't want to hurt anyone" He explains with a worried tune. "Plus the pain..."

She places her hand on top of his hexed one "Remember your heal hex child, overlap that image into this one. Numb the pain until it has gone" She instructs as her own hand shine showing a symbol of 3 crosses interlocked inside a circle helps him reveal his own version, she overlaps her hand on top of his until the pain is gone.

"I can overlap hexes?!" He asks in shock as the Olm chuckled again

"Dear child, there is still plenty for you to learn. But do not fret as the Sisterhood is here to aid you. Surrender yourself to the hex, and let them guide you as they do right now, it seems you will begin your training with the nerve leech mark. Just follow the instructions I will leave you and everything would be fine, do not fight it, and remember, be cautious at all times until you master each hex. I have faith in you. Best of luck dear child" The Mother Superior banishes as the fire extinguishes leaving behind only a pile of ashes and a book that materializes in the middle of the circle one with instructions for Mark to follow in order to master his powers.

He start to give it a quick read over the pages and scan the section regarding how to master the leech hex until an alarm caught his attention as a mare in a purple hood seems to be the closest to solving his room.

Said mare, made her way to the center of the room where there was a statue of the mane six holding up a key with their cutie mark on the base. Humming she starts to inspect the eyes when someone comes, alerting her as she hides behind the statue.

"So we agree then? We will trust that none of us will try anything, no matter who wins" Luna mentions as she and Celestia made their way to the statue.

"At least at the moment, and for the sake of the investigation" Celestia nods as she looks around "Considering how this challenge focus on deep thinking, only one mare in her full capacities would be able to solve it. So we can trust whoever wins would not be drunk it her own lust" She then starts inspecting the place until something caught her attention "And it appears we don't have much of a choice in the matter" She points at the ceiling where a cherub was crossing his arms in an X "Seems like this puzzle literally can't be solved unless there is only one mare present"

Celestia headed to the entrance as the mare in the hood teleported away "You go first"

"Are you sure sister? If I win you lose your chance"

"Consider my show of trust in you," She tells before smirking "Besides if you fail, there would be one less trap for me to deal with"

"Right..., wait HEY!" Luna complains but when Celestia steps out of a doorframe a wall of rock emerges locking Luna in the room a series of clicks are heard and the cherubim move his hands to extend them forward as a series of plates appear on the statues, one in a desk in front of it and 6 podiums emerge around the statues with a holder for books on them. The mares now sported different numbers on their chests and on the desk there was an inscription on the plate that reads: 'what are we?'
