It was a normal day for Shining Armor… as normal as things could be that is. He had just been married, to the love of his life! Who was a princess no less! It was all so overwhelming. So many good things going on in his life, it was almost crazy.

Sure, he and his wife had been rather distant ever since the wedding… which he had to admit was rather strange, but nonetheless, he was happy with his life, living in the Canterlot Palace alongside her. As he walked down the palace halls, he passed a pair of guards, overhearing their conversation, which gave him slight pause.

“Did you hear what happened up North?” One of the guards asked.

“Yeah, a giant city made of Crystal. Apparently it popped up right on top of a yak village and just erased it,” One of the guards said, a deep frown coming to his face. “You hear the other rumors too?”

“What?” The first guard replied.

“Apparently there’s this big dark cloud surrounding the place, and some of the scouts said it had a ponies face!” One of the guards cried, eyes widening. They were both silenced when Shining suddenly cleared his throat, prompting both to shut up and stare at their commander, who was looking down at them with his arms crossed behind his back.

“Don’t you stallions have work to do?” Shining asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

The guards instantly jumped into a salute, before bowing to their new prince and scurrying off down the hallway, a slight smirk coming to Shining’s face. The captain-turned-prince merely chuckled and shook his head when they were gone. Still, what they had been talking about gave him pause… a city appearing out of nowhere? Clouds with pony faces? All that sounded like another threat to Equestria… something he couldn’t tolerate.

He had been there for the last two, though in limited capacity. Nightmare Moon’s sudden kidnapping of Celestia had certainly been a blow to the Equestrian Royal Guard’s prestige. And Discord was… Discord. And then there was Queen Chrysalis! That wedding had been hell! Thank Celestia he, Twilight and Cadance had managed to defeat her.

Twilight and Cadance… Shining couldn’t help but smile. His LSBFF and his wife… hah, just saying the word wife was so new to him. Ten… heck even five years ago, he never would have ever imagined him marrying and settling down. He sighed reminiscing on the past few months. Honestly? He wouldn’t change a thing.

Making his rounds, he soon arrived at the Princess’s quarters. He smiled as he went about doing his charge.

First he poked his head into Princess Celestia’s room. He frowned slightly as he found it empty, aside from a new statue of Celestia reared back with her hands covering her face… and for some reason it was made entirely of black crystal. Shining raised his eyebrow before shaking his head. He knew not to think much of it, must've been some magical artifact or something.

He quickly moved on to Princess Luna’s room. As it was daytime, he fully expected to find Luna sleeping, and so he merely was content to slowly creak the door open and peer inside to make sure Luna was ok. All he found however was an empty bed in the dark, complete with blue sheets and starry blankets, and another statue. This statue was similarly covering her face with her hands. Shining furrowed his brow… this was getting suspicious.

Shining gave a deep inhale. This was getting bad. He quickly picked up the pace, almost running to Cadance's door. If there was a statue in there too, then he’d be sure. When he arrived at the door, however, he paused in shock at what he heard. With a slow movement, he pressed his ear to the door, trying to hear exactly what was in there.

He heard moaning… Not just one voice moaning, but two. Feminine voices. He slowly creaked open the door, looking inside with dread. And what he saw drained the color from his face as betrayal covered his features.

Cadance was naked. Naked and sitting on the floor, her legs spread wide and her arms around another mare. She was leaning forward, and she was kissing a purple-coated unicorn. One he knew. It was Twilight! Twilight was naked as well, and Cadance was holding her tight, and the two were kissing, a trail of saliva connecting their lips as they parted. Shining couldn't believe his eyes, as Cadance and Twilight parted, before giggling. Sitting over them at the foot of the bed was a unicorn he had never seen before, with a coal gray coat, neon green eyes, and a black mane that danced like shadows. He had his arms crossed, watching the two make out. Despite the sapphic scene in front of him, he was fully clothed in a set of steely gray armor with silken red clothes underneath.

"Well well well, if it isn't the stallion of the hour!" the unicorn purred, standing up and sauntering over to him.

"Come, look at the 'two most important mares in your life'" he taunted. Shining couldn't stop the angry blush that came to his face as the unicorn wrapped his arm around him, pulling him in.

"What are you doing?! Get away from me!" Shining cried, pushing the unicorn away. He looked to Cadance, his eyes wide. "Cadance! What's going on!?"

Cadance looked over at him, smiling brightly and giggling. "Shining! We were wondering when you'd show up!" she said, pulling Twilight against her as the two started to rub their oozing twats against one another.

"We've been waiting for you, dear." Twilight cooed, a bright blush coming to her cheeks.

"What?!" Shining cried, stumbling back, before a shadow loomed over him, a cold hand landing on his shoulder.

"Oh Shining... we have such sights to show you." a familiar voice said, sending shivers down Shining's spine. Shining gulped, slowly looking over his shoulder. The unicorn was there. He pushed him forwards, making him land chest first on the ground. Afterwards pinning him with a firm knee on his back and grabbing him by the back of the head. His vision was jerked upwards, forced to watch his sister and wife. "Now pay attention, boy. This is what the 'love' of mares gets you."

He was forced to watch. The two mares were making out, rubbing against each other, moaning and crying. Twilight's head was tossed back as Cadance began to suck on her neck. Twilight's eyes locked onto Shining's, and he couldn't help but see the pleasure on her face, the enjoyment, the pure unbridled lust. He was forced to watch as his wife's mouth trailed down, kissing and licking every inch of his sister's body, making her cry out and squirm before eventually her tongue reached her dripping pussy. Twilight let out a loud moan, her eyes rolling back as Cadance began to eat her out, lapping at her lips.

"Oh fuck, I love her tongue so fucking much," Twilight moaned, her eyes still locked onto Shining's.

Shining tried to turn around to face Sombra but could only turn his head to side-eye him with a snarl. “You did this to them! Undo it!” he roared, his horn shimmering to life. Sombra merely responded by smirking and igniting his own. In an instant, Shining got a splitting headache that burrowed into his skull and made him cry out.

Black crystals began to form out of his horn, nullifying his spell and leaving it feeling deadened and numb. He shook his head, desperate to shake the crystals off, but it did nothing. They were there to stay.

“I assure you, I didn’t do anything to them in the slightest,” Sombra responded with a slight laugh.

Twilight spoke up again; “It isn’t very surprising to me how good she is though. She must’ve been sooo pent up having such a failure for a husband.”

“Don’t worry though,” Sombra whispered into his ear, “I’ll make everything right, especially now that your city is mine.”

“What?” Shining asked, his eyes widening. He didn’t have time to receive an answer, before Sombra’s horn glowed with baleful purple and green light, and Shining’s vision went black. The last thing he heard was Sombra’s malevolent laughter.

Shining awoke on the cold floor. The world was a blur and he found himself unable to move, his entire body feeling numb and heavy. After a moment, his vision cleared, and his eyes widened. He was in the Canterlot Throne Room, but it was different now. Braziers burned with neon green flames. It took several more moments for him to regain feeling in his arms and legs, and he quickly pulled himself up into a sitting position, desperately looking around the room.

The first thing he noticed were those statues Princess Celestia and Princess Luna standing by the throne. Except… Now he realized they weren’t merely statues, but the true sovereigns of Equestria, enthralled behind cold marble. Their faces were twisted into screams of fear as they stood frozen in black crystal. He quickly stood up, eyes wide. Then his eyes turned to the throne itself, where he saw the same unicorn stallion in the now lone throne in the throne room, staring him dead in the eyes with his head perched up on an arm and his legs crossed.

"Finally awake I see?" Sombra asked with a bemused smile. Shining could only gape, his eyes darting around the room. He turned and looked behind him, his eyes widening. The windows of the throne room were covered, and the doors were sealed shut. He quickly turned back to Sombra. It was then that noticed that in the time it took for him to scan the room and look back, Twilight and Cadance had appeared seemingly out of nowhere, and were now both sitting on the arms of Sombra's throne.

"How?" Shining managed to sputter out.

Sombra let out a dark laugh. "Oh? How what? How did I take control of Canterlot? How did I conquer your wife, sister, and the princesses?"

Shining's eyes darted over to the frozen Princesses. Sombra let out a loud chuckle. "Yes. Them too. They put up a fight, but I'm the Master of Magic, and you three, and whatever sorry excuses for soldiers you had were hardly a challenge, especially for my legions." Sombra laughed.

"Legions?" Shining asked.

"Oh yes, I have an entire army under my command," Sombra said, "And it's only getting larger. Your soldiers are currently being impressed into it. It's a strenuous process for them, poor babies."

Shining hissed, rising to his hooves and raising his fists. He knew he couldn't possibly win, not against someone as powerful as this. Rage overtook him. He quickly rushed forward towards Sombra, but all it availed him was him getting frozen mid-stride by an aura of turquoise energy.

"You don't even know who I am, do you, Captain?" Sombra asked. Shining merely growled at him.

"Shining, he's talking to you." Twilight chastised, leaning against Sombra's body, pressing her cheek against his.

"Pay attention to your king" Cadance hummed, doing the same on Sombra's other side. Her horn was glowing the same color as the aura that kept Shining trapped.

Shining grit his teeth. "My name is Shining Armor. I'm Captain of the Royal Guard. You're no king of mine."

"Ohoho, no, I'm not just your king, I'm the king of all Equestria," Sombra chuckled, stepping down from his throne and approaching Shining coming to a stop in front of him. "And soon after, the world."

Shining narrowed his eyes, his teeth gritting.

"But where are my manners? I'm King Sombra," Sombra replied, smirking and leaning back. "And I'm going to give you a choice."

"Choice to?" Shining hissed, his eye twitching.

"Decide what I'm going to do to your treasonous, traitorous whores you called a sister and wife." Sombra laughed.

Twilight’s and Cadance’s eyes both widened at once. "What!?"

Sombra glanced at them and raised his hand, and the two's bodies glowed green and they were suddenly suspended in the air, their arms and legs spread eagle. "Quiet," Sombra ordered as the field of energy around him dissipated, making him fall down to his hands and knees. Sombra chuckled as Shining scrambled to his hooves, and turned to face him.

"Now, as I was saying. I'm going to give you a choice. How should I deal with them?" Sombra asked, glancing between the two.

"Deal with us?" Twilight asked, her eyes widening.

"We're your loyal subjects!" Cadance added.

"Are you though?" Sombra smirked. "After you betrayed your past rulers so willingly, I have little mind to spare you or accept your loyalty. Besides, I've always preferred stallion's to mares."

That made Shining's eyes widen slightly. Sombra glanced back at him, his smirk becoming a warm and genuine smile.

"So, choose. How should they be punished?"

Shining swallowed the lump in his throat.

“You promised us! You promised us we would be made duchesses! That we could get married without Celestia or that cuck getting involved!” Cadance shrieked, thrashing against her magical restraints..

Shining didn’t know what to do or where to go from there… he merely stared ahead until finally, he growled to Sombra. “Do to them, what you did to Celestia and Luna!” He roared.

Sombra smirked, turning back to them. Twilight and Cadance both let out a loud shriek of surprise.

"No, please! Shining, why are you doing this!?" Twilight cried.

"You don't have to do this! We can have the life we've always wanted, we can-" Cadance cried out, only for her words to be cut off by Sombra’s booming voice.

"Silence!" he shouted, and the two fell silent. They stared at him, their wide eyes brimming with unfettered terror.
A look that would be frozen upon them for all eternity. With a blast of dark magic, the two mares screeched, before it all went silent, and they were reduced to stone.

Shining couldn't help the smirk that came to his face.

Sombra walked over to them, gently running his hand across the marble flesh of the two. "Beautiful, aren't they?"

And then the adrenaline and feeling of vitriol wore off. Shining Armor fell to his knees, tears coming to his eyes. What had he done?! He had condemned his wife, his sister, his friends, his home, his people, to this fate.

Sombra turned back to Shining, his smirk falling. Struck by a look of contemplation, realization, and finally… empathy of all things. The king cringed slightly, walking down from the throne before coming to a stop above Shining. "You... have my sympathies, Shining."

Shining's head whipped up, his eyes wide.

"I've taken everything you have," Sombra stated. "But if you want, I can give you a second chance, and a way to keep what's left."

Shining stared up at him. He suddenly felt a new feeling of... sudden lust take over him. A feeling he hadn't felt for a stallion before in his life, but staring at Sombra like this inexplicably made him horny, he couldn't explain it in the slightest.

"Be my consort, Shining."

Sombra smiled as he put his arms behind his back and observed the nude form of Shining Armor, who was currently talking to himself as he stood on shaky legs, his eyes wide open as he stared blankly ahead at an empty doorway. Sombra's nightmare doorway. Though in this case, Sombra was using it for something else, beyond exposing a hapless pony to their worst fears.

"I-I've always had feelings for stallions," Shining said. "It was... taboo, but I knew my feelings were true, and the only stallion I've ever loved is the one I'm looking at right now."

Sombra's smirk widened. He was so good at this.

"I-I don't know why I feel like this, but... I'm ok with this." Shining continued.

"That's wonderful, Shining," Sombra reassured the doubts he saw niggling in the stallion’s mind..

Shining nodded his head and let out a nervous sigh. Doubtlessly he was now submitting to Sombra in whatever dream he was in. Soon his memories would be replaced with a new wonderful selection of beautiful fairytales of love between the two of them, and Shining would be a loyal slave to him. Shining had no clue that his will was being completely and totally destroyed.

Sombra gently put a hand on either one of Shining's shoulders from behind, gingerly bending him over slightly. "And now, Shining Armor, you will take the first step into a whole new life. Just relax, and let your desires be sated."

Slowly, Sombra hot dogged his rod between Shining's cheeks, casting a spell to lube himself up as he tightened his grip on Sombra's shoulders.

"Just relax and be mine."

And with a push, he was inside. Shining cried out, but Sombra didn't stop. Slowly. he pushed his way inside. He moaned softly as his hips met with Shining's. Then he began to pull back out, only to thrust back in, and begin a rhythm.

"Just give in, and all of your worries and concerns will be gone."

He kept going, fucking the poor stallion in front of him with growing abandon until Shining's legs gave way. Suddenly on his hands and knees moaning like a trained bitch as Sombra had his way with him.

"Yes, oh yes, fuck me, please," Shining panted between moans.

Sombra laughed before reaching his hand down and wrapping his hand around Shining's shaft, slowly stroking it in time with his thrusts. He was thick and domineering. Sombra wasn’t sure if he liked that or not. Whether he’d make him a dickslave or perhaps atrophy it into something cuter… only time would tell.

"I'm the only one left who could ever give you this pleasure, and you know that, don't you? Everyone else you've ever loved has betrayed you. It's just me you can trust now, my pet."

"Y-yes, you're right. Only you can give me what I need!" Shining cried as his mind embraced its new reality.

Sombra grinned before leaning down and kissing Shining's neck, causing him to moan. It was the kiss that sent Shining Armor over the edge. With a cry of ecstasy, the former prince came like his king had pressed a button. Rope after rope of cum fell on the crystal floor below him, with no sign of stopping in sight. Sombra, however, was still going.

"Who's a good little whore, Shining?"

"I-I am! I'm your good little whore!" Shining cried, tears coming to his eyes from the pleasure.

"Louder," Sombra ordered, his strokes coming to a stop as his hand instead cupped Shining's balls.

"I'm a good little whore!" Shining shouted, "I'm a good little whore!"

"And whose dick are you gonna be sucking from now on?"

"Yours, Master Sombra, only yours!"

"And who are you going to be serving?"

"Only you, Master, I swear!"

"And will you betray me like they betrayed you?"

"Never! Never, I'm your loyal, subservient little bitch, forever and always!"

Sombra grinned and gave his balls a gentle squeeze. That was enough to push him over the edge. His cock throbbed and flared inside of his newfound property… And then, Sombra was cumming inside the other stallion. He Shining’s orbs a firm tug, which triggered shining Shining to release again, the two moaning and crying out together.

Sombra gave Shining's balls a final squeeze before releasing them, and then slowly pulled out of Shining, causing him to moan as he felt the ridges scrape against his ruined bitchhole, which was now dripping cum.

Sombra walked around and stood in front of Shining, putting his hoof on his head, pressing him into the floor. Shining's tongue lolled out unconsciously, his eyes still on the doorway. Then, finally, Sombra bent down…

And locked a collar around his neck.
