Plans and Reunion

Clad in a simple blouse and a modest skirt, Twilight made her way briskly down the corridor. She was nervous yet excited, wringing her hands together and breathing a bit more quickly than normal, berating herself for not having been ready right there as the knocks sounded again. She sped up, putting perhaps more strength than necessary into it, and her hooves clinked melodiously on the crystal floor as she stepped her way to the door. Though she was mostly used to it by then, after years of living there, she still marvelled at the way her palace would almost sing when struck certain ways. Maybe it was just how crystal was, or maybe it was magic. She'd have to look more into it sometime, if she ever found the time to.

She reached the door and opened it with her magic, smiling brightly at the ponies behind it as the late afternoon sunlight flowed in. "Shining!" She practically threw herself around her brother, who still stood a good head taller than her even after her ascension. "Cadance!" she added, still clinging to Shining but turning her attention to his wife. She didn't reach out to her, or begin their traditional dance, as Cadance wasn't exactly in a good disposition for either at that moment. "I'm sorry I couldn't meet you at the train station."

"Don't worry. It's a pleasure to see you again," Cadance said, smiling warmly. She wore a loosely fitting pair of shorts that left her legs bare, and a small tube top around her chest that her swollen breasts pressed into, showing the ring-shaped piercings on her nipples. Not exactly royal attire, but she wasn't there formally, and most importantly it meant her swollen belly wasn't hindered by clothes that wouldn't have fit her anyway. She rested a hand over the curve of it, rubbing it up and down slowly.

"I missed you, L.S.B.F.F.," said Shining, hugging Twilight back. He ruffled her mane with one had on the back of her head and nuzzled his face into hers, before planting a brotherly kiss at the base of her horn that made Twilight blush a little.

Twilight moved back from the hug and bent down to look at Cadance's belly. She reached out with a hand, hesitated, then placed it besides Cadance's after a nod from the pregnant mare. She held it there, and after a moment she giggled. "I think I felt a kick." Cadance smiled at that. Shining was also smiling, though his eyes were pointed elsewhere. Twilight sighed, straightening again and making his gaze move back towards the back of her head. "To think I'll be an aunt again so soon. And I'm sure Flurry will love having a sibling to play with! Her own little B.F.F.!" She beamed. "Do we already know-"

"A filly," Shining said, anticipating her question. "Flurry will have an L.S.B.F.F. too."

"We're so sorry Flurry couldn't come too," said Cadance. "She's a little sick, and Sunny is taking care of her right now. I would have brought her, but she would have monopolised the whole trip."

"And you're tired enough already from the pregnancy," Shining added, resting a hand on his wife's shoulder.

"It's okay," Twilight said, "I understand, and I'm also sorry I invited you when Spike couldn't be here. Maybe we'll pay a visit too next. It's been a while since I've been to the Empire. And I still haven't gotten to see Sunny since, well, you know." She trailed off. "She seemed really happy from her letters though."

"She is," Shining confirmed. "Everyone in the Empire is a lot happier lately. I'm sure you'd love it there."

Twilight smiled. Then, after a moment, she shook herself. "Oh, do come in." She motioned for them to walk inside. "I don't want to keep you here too long, I'm sure you're tired after the trip."

"Hah." Shining chuckled as he levitated their luggage and walked in. "Your brother doesn't get tired that easily, Twi."

Twilight watched him march on, rolling her eyes in bemusement. Then she turned to Cadance again, who looked far more worn out than he did. "Are you sure you'll be alright? Is there anything you need?"

Cadance shook her head. "Don't worry about it." She began to follow Shining inside, but stopped after just a couple of steps. "Oh. Before I forget." She reached out with her magic and opened the backpack nestled between her wings, pulling out a squared gift-wrapped package that looked a lot like a book. "A little something from both of us. I'm sure you'll enjoy it."

Twilight took the book in her hands, smiling. "Oh, Cadance. You didn't need to." Cradling the book to her modest chest, she leaned forward over Cadance's belly and kissed the older mare on the cheek. "Thank you."

Cadance smiled back at her. "Think nothing of it." She turned, and followed behind Shining into the pleasantly cool air of the castle's interior.

Clothes were off the moment the door to their room was locked, and soundproofing spells came on just as Cadance's mouth wrapped herself around the tip of Shining's hardening shaft. Kneeling before him, looking up at her King with worshipful adoration, she reestablished the magical link between their horns and plunged her throat down on his massive cock.

It felt like breathing again for the first time after holding her breath too long. Finally she could be herself again. Finally she could serve and nourish her King again. She moaned around the cock stretching her throat and her pussy gushed out as she played with her tits.

Shining gave a satisfied grunt as well, grabbing hold of Cadance's horn and slamming her face against his crotch as he siphoned so much magic from her so quickly the ethereal connection between their horns shone like an arc of electricity in the air. "There we go, you slut. That's where you belong!" For a little bit he just kept fucking and draining her, while Cadance barely stayed conscious and made a mess on the floor. Finally, Shining pulled her head off his cock, letting it spring free again. "I needed that," he said, taking a deep breath and shifting the magical flow back to a more measured drain.

Cadance took a series of rough pants, leaning forward to keep herself up with Shining's strong legs as she nuzzled and licked his fat balls. "I hated having to keep magic in and clothes on for so long. How did the old me ever manage?" she wondered between a kiss to Shining's nuts and the next.

Shining stretched his shoulders, flexing his muscles as he once more felt power flowing through his body. "Come next week, you'll never have to do that again. Just a while longer." He leaned back and took hold of his cock with one of his hands, slapping it against the side of Cadance's face. "You remembered to give her the book, right?"

Cadance planted a wet kiss against the tip of Shining's cock. One of her hands was still twisting her pierced nipples, and the other went to stroke Shining's length. "I did." She focused her gaze on the shaft in front of her. "When should I turn on the spell?"

"Give it a moment. I don't want you to mess it up because you're drained." Shining thrust forward into Cadance's muzzle, frustration evident on his face. "If it wasn't for those stupid Elements I'd have Twilight gagging on my dick right now." He grit his teeth, but forced himself to calm down with deep breaths before anger could get the better of him. "No matter. They'll be dealt with soon enough, and Starlight too." He forced Cadance's mouth open with his magic and plunged into her throat again, distracting himself from the thought that his powers were in danger of being challenged and focusing instead on how inevitable his ultimate victory was.

Cadance took him in, squeezing his cock with her throat. How she'd missed the feeling of him fucking and using her, and how she'd hated having to pretend in front of Twilight and during the trip. The quick fuck they'd had in the train's bathroom had not been nearly enough. She let her mind go blank for the time being, relishing her utter submission. Her King would wake her when he needed her thinking.

Twilight settled down on her bed with a drawn out sigh. Be it the hot weather or the pent up tension of waiting for Cadance and Shining to arrive, she was feeling more tired than she thought she'd be. Maybe it was also Spike's absence. He was at a Power Ponies con in Manehattan over the weekend, staying there with Big Mac. Half of her was worried about his well being, perhaps being overprotective, and half of her was worn out from having to take care of everything he would usually do himself. She'd never thought dusting shelves could be so taxing, but with him gone she'd had to make sure the palace was spotless on her own. Starlight wasn't to be trusted with cleaning anything after the last time. She was a little peeved that had left her no time to go meet Cadance and Shining at the station.

Leaning into her pillow, she looked to the wrapped-up book on her nightstand. She hadn't opened it yet. After a short dinner, Shining and Cadance had retired to their room, right next to hers, tired more than she was from the long trip and the hot weather. The latter was probably particularly bothering for them, since they were used to the Empire. It explained their light clothing all the more. They'd collectively decided they'd see each other the next day, and discuss what to do with a clear and rested mind.

Twilight took the book in her magic and carefully undid the wrapping. The cover art looked exotic, but the title held no hints as to the contents, and the rest of it was bare. It was a little worn, but that was a good sign. Nothing quite like a book worth rereading often. Pushing herself deeper into the pillow, she opened it on the first page and began to read, barely aware of a quiet and wet sound of something vaguely like tapping coming from beyond the wall.

Doubts and Loyalty

Twilight awoke to a strange sound coming from the next room over. It was wet, squelching, maybe a bit like water going down a clogged pipe. In her half-asleep state she listened to it until it stopped, then slowly shook herself properly awake. She'd slept in a little. Her dreams had left her sweaty and warm. She'd stayed up reading until she'd passed out the night before, and while she'd been tired enough for that to happen quickly it had still been fairly late.

The book wasn't quite what she'd been expecting, but it was intriguing. She wanted to keep going. Not then though, maybe that night. She pushed herself up and stretched her arms and wings, yawning as she opened the window with her magic to let the sunlight in. Groggily she stood up and made her way to the bathroom, wearing only a loose-fitting T-shirt. It wasn't like anyone would see anything. Perks of being a Princess included a private bathroom, and getting to decide when she'd have breakfast late.

She arrived downstairs in the kitchen a few minutes later, dressed properly and with her mane straightened out. Cadance and Shining were already there, dressed casually like how they'd arrived the day before. "Hey," she greeted them. "Sorry, I woke up late. I must have been tired yesterday." She went towards the stove and opened the cupboards above it. "How did you two sleep? Do you want something?"

"We already ate." Cadance licked her lips.

"We slept well, thank you for asking," Shining said. "Do you know where Starlight is? Sunny gave us a thing for her. We looked around a bit but we didn't see her."

Twilight had begun to make herself a pancake. Being a Princess meant she could decide what to eat too. It also meant she wouldn't get fat from it, something Rarity never failed to bemoan her jealousy of. "I think she's leaving us be. You know, family time and all. She's probably in the laboratory or somewhere around. I can have Sp-... I can go look for her and tell her to come see you later."

"That would be lovely." As Twilight was still turned, Cadance reached out with a hand and rested it between Shining's muscled legs. "Did you have something planned for today?"

"Not really. I didn't have time to really plan anything, unfortunately." Twilight was still focused on her pancake. Spike always made it seem so easy. Was it getting burnt? "But I figured we could just hang out, chat, maybe play some games. You know, casual stuff. I didn't think I'd ever say it, but I've had enough of checklists for the time being. I could do without all this princessy business for a while."

"We can certainly help with that," said Shining. "Say, did you start reading that book we got you? It's one of Cadance's favourites, and she's been dying to know what you think." As he said that, he wrapped an arm around Cadance's bust and groped her tits in an entirely inappropriate way.

Twilight stammered and blushed a little, standing straighter. "I've read a bit of it." She slid the pancake onto her plate. Definitely a little burnt. "It's... interesting. Yeah. I can see why she likes it." She just wasn't sure if it made for a good present yet.

Since Twilight was still turned, Cadance began to stroke her hand down the length of Shining's thigh, and what else was there. "Just wait and see. You'll understand soon."

"I do look forward to reading the rest. Probably later today." Twilight turned and found Cadance and Shining wrapped in a deep kiss. "Oh, you two." She sat down at the table. "Do you ever tone that down?"

Shining broke the kiss. "You'd be surprised. This is already toned down." He gave Cadance another quick peck on the cheek.

"I'm not the Princess of Love for nothing," Cadance added, nuzzling into Shining's shoulder.

Twilight dug greedily into her breakfast. "I suppose." Being a Princess did not mean she could ignore etiquette and speak with her mouth full, but she did it anyway. But she did swallow before continuing. "So, how are things in the Empire nowadays?"

"Wonderful," Cadance said, beaming. "Shining and I have enacted and implemented a few new policies, and our subjects absolutely love the way things are going."

Twilight swallowed another bite. "I'm honestly glad I don't have to do anything like that. I can't imagine having to decide things for so many other ponies. I don't know how Celestia has managed to do it for so long."

"Some of us are more fit for it than others," Shining said. "But I'm sure Celestia would like to take a break from time to time, too. We should invite her to the Empire on vacation at some point."

Cadance was positively radiant at that. "We really should."

"But now we should focus on Twilight," Shining reminded her.

Twilight blushed. "This isn't just about me. It's about all of us." She looked at them and smiled. "I've missed you two." They smiled back at her, and she looked down at her empty plate. "Well, I'll go find Starlight first, and then we can see about the rest of the day." She stood up.

"The gift is in our room. Tell her to come there," Shining said.

Twilight nodded. "Be right back. Don't chew each other out too much while I'm gone." She walked to the door and left the room, oblivious to the way Cadance slowly slid off her chair and reached for the hem of Shining's pants as she did.

Starlight scratched at her horn. Something was bothering her. She'd been just about to run a proper test, but Twilight had called her before she could start. She wondered if it was the castle acting up in some way. Ambient magic wasn't unheard of, and it was even expected in a place like that, but she wasn't so sure. Whatever it was it felt different. The possibility of someone attacking the castle while both Twilight and Cadance were there was entirely real, even if she may have been a touch too paranoid about it.

She shook her head. That could wait. She stood in front of the door to the guestroom, hesitant. Sunny had sent something for her, apparently. She swallowed. She hadn't heard from her friend since... Well, since the news of her name change, and all that went with it. Starlight was happy for her, of course she was, but she was also worried. She always worried. It was why she'd been avoiding Shining and Cadance. Maybe she should stop worrying so much.

She reached out, and knocked on the door. For a moment nothing happened. Then the door slid open. The room behind it looked a little dark, like the window and blinds were closed, but also lit by a strange light. A magical one, perhaps. Blinking, curious, Starlight took a step forward. Then stars exploded in her vision and she passed out.

Twilight was back in the kitchen. There was a leftover piece of doughnut Cadance hadn't finished, glazed white and a little soggy. She'd told herself she'd be cleaning the table after sending Starlight to the guestroom, but hadn't gotten around to it yet. Part of it was just laziness, but she was also distracted. She'd gone and picked up the book from her nightstand, and it was lying before her besides the plate. She was looking at it. She wasn't opening it yet. She wanted to, and at the same time she was nervous about it. She wasn't sure her memories of the previous night were accurate, but the possibility that they could be was making her heart beat fast and her cheeks flush. She absentmindedly took the doughnut chunk in her mouth. It tasted a little odd, but good.

The air in the room felt hot and stuffy, and it smelled weird. She got up and went to the window, and looked to the sky outside as she opened it. There were a few stray clouds, thin and white. She wondered how Rainbow Dash was doing. She should have Rainbow Dash come over. Rainbow Dash might enjoy talking with Shining.

Twilight shook her head. She felt like she'd dozed off for a moment. She looked back to the table. Right. Her book. Taking a deep breath of the fresh morning air and enjoying the little breeze coming in from outside, she grabbed the old tome in her telekinesis and opened it again. She scanned over the page and her breath grew hot and heavy, memories of the previous night coming into clear focus. It was scandalous. Completely inappropriate. But she couldn't turn away.

She read on avidly as the Warrior Queen went to strike the King of the Wildlands with her blade, only for him to easily catch her arm at the wrist and halt her blow. The author had spared no lurid detail in describing how the Queen's clothes barely contained her huge chest, how her fat tits bounced with her motions, or how the King's chiseled abs glistened with sweat as he overpowered the mare and forced her first to drop her weapon, then to bend down to her knees before him. Eye level with the scant covering hanging over his crotch. Close enough to smell his-

Twilight turned away and slammed the book shut. She was breathing heavily, feeling heated up despite being right next to the window. It was then she properly realised anyone outside would be able to see her clearly, and a different kind of blush came to her cheeks. Her first instinct was to scamper off, but something held her. She looked back to the book. It had been a present, after all. And surely Cadance and Shining would tell her when they were done chatting with Starlight.

Slowly, carefully, Twilight sank down to sit on the ground beneath the window, with her back against the wall and even the tip of her horn hidden from view. She shivered for a moment, then forced herself to open the book again and continue reading. The Queen had tried to strike with her free hand, but again the King had caught her, and he'd pushed her to the ground on her back. He had her pinned down there, as the amulet hanging from his neck dangled right before her eyes. Twilight took a deep, hot, shaking breath. Cleaning the table could wait another minute or two.

Starlight's eyes blinked themselves open once, twice, three times, then finally her vision came into focus. She was in the guestroom, that much she could tell even in the strange blueish glow that filled the otherwise dark room. What she could also tell, despite not being able to see it, was that she was tied to a wall with her hooves spread slightly apart and her arms bent, her wrists level with her head. She was gagged too, judging by the stuffy feeling in her mouth. She tried to use her magic, and found it blocked, just as she'd expected. She wondered if it was a ring or a suppression circle, or something else.

She was prepared to see changelings before her, or cultists, or any other manner of villainous thing. She was not prepared for Shining to step into view while holding a collared Cadance up by her legs, her knees against his shoulder and her back against his chest, with his cock deep in her ass while her pussy gushed out over his fat balls and her mouth did the same over her pierced tits. That was deeply wrong, and entirely inappropriate for any evildoer. She would have known.

Shining noticed she was awake first, since Cadance didn't look capable of noticing anything in her state. "Ah, Starlight. I see you're finally awake." He dropped Cadance, but made sure to catch her with his magic so her swollen belly wouldn't hit the floor. Slowly he pulled back from her stretched asshole, revealing a thick cock that was longer than Starlight would have anticipated, and as his wife shook herself back to some semblance of mental coherence he stepped closer to the wall. "You know, we could have done this while you were passed out. But where's the fun in that?" He slapped Starlight's face, hard, but in doing so removed her gag as well.

Starlight resisted the urge to retch at realising she'd had her mouth stuffed with a pair of boxers, and instead threw Shining a piercing glare. "What's this about? Who are you?"

Shining just slapped her on the other side of the face in response, chuckling. That did, however, push Starlight's gaze to land on a large chunk of crystal lying on a desk, the source of the eerie blue light that filled the room. Shining spoke again. "You're smart, for a mare at least. I'm sure you can figure it out."

Starlight slowly turned back to him. Right then, she noticed a strange ethereal strand between his horn and Cadance's, but ignored it for the time being. "A catalyst for a continuous spell, resonating with the castle itself to affect the whole interior. So that's what I was feeling."

Shining laughed, and turned to Cadance. "See? I told you we were right to start with her."

Cadance leaned into Shining to caress and lick his naked chest, then turned to Starlight. "Do you know what kind of spell it is, too?"

Starlight swallowed. There was something off about Cadance's eyes, but it was hard to see. "I know you cast it, based on the colour." Her brain worked overtime to try and figure out what the fuck was happening, adrenaline suddenly kicking in. What Shining and Cadance were doing made no sense, if it even was them, but the aura meant it was the real Cadance, and... Wait. "Mind alteration." She began to think aloud. "But it wasn't targeted at me, I wouldn't have felt it otherwise. So that means..." Her eyes went wide. "Twilight."

"Bingo," Shining said. "Or close enough, at least." He went and pinched one of Cadance's nipples.

"It's a perception filter," Cadance explained. "Subtle, continuous, and pervasive. It's slowly filing down her thoughts as we speak, and it'll keep doing so until all it takes is a little push."

"But why?" Starlight's mind still failed to come up with an explanation for their actions, or to even understand what exactly they were doing. "What do you want? What has your sister done?" If he even was the real Shining.

He gave something between a grunt and a laugh. His horn glowed for a moment. The connection between it and Cadance's grew brighter, and Cadance wailed in pleasure as magic visibly flowed out of her and into him. "Twilight is an alicorn," he explained. "That makes her worth keeping as part of my harem. It makes her worth breeding. It makes her power worth consuming. By the rightful order of things, she's meant to be mine."

Starlight started to hyperventilate, eyes darting between Shining's feral expression and Cadance's quivering body. "You're insane. You're fucking mad. I don't know what the fuck has gotten into you to go after your sister like that, or, or to do any of this, or..." Her words stopped coming and she just kept breathing, overwhelmed by the situation as her worry and anxiety spiked.

Shining ignored her, and reduced the drain on Cadance's magic back to a barely visible level. "But Twilight is an alicorn, and an Element. She's smart. Her magic is great." It looked like what he was saying was making him actively angry. "She may resist if we simply try to overpower her, and even if we succeeded the Elements might intervene." He advanced on Starlight, and his expression shifted to something more pleased. "So we're going to wear her down, slowly, and take care of the Elements and any other problems along the way. Starting with you. Not that you were ever going to be a challenge, but the others don't stand a chance once you're down." He grabbed her blouse and tore it apart, baring her chest, then ripped off her bra.

Starlight began to thrash in her bonds, trying desperately to break free, pulling on her magic reservoirs with all her might in the vain hope of overpowering the suppression. "You're insane! You're never going to succeed! The Elements will stop you! The Princesses will-"

"The Princesses won't be able to do shit once Twilight's power is mine." Shining slapped her tits hard, then drew back. "Insane? I am a God. And as for you, well..." He chuckled. "We can't risk trying to use brute force against Twilight, but you? You're no match for an alicorn."

Only then did Starlight notice Cadance's face just besides her own, horn aglow. She tried to scream, but her lips were sealed by a kiss from the alicorn's own, the salty taste of Shining's sweat and virility invading her mouth alongside Cadance's tongue. Starlight only had a moment to notice the faintly glowing heart shapes within Cadance's eyes, then her psyche was split open and her mind was flooded with alien memories of pleasure and submission.

The table was still messy. Twilight's clothes were too. She hadn't taken them off, but she'd done some rubbing through them, and some even beneath them. She'd had to stop before she got carried away too far and started being louder than the whimpers she'd already been letting out. The book lay beside her, still open, a decent amount of pages deeper in. The mental images it had conjured hung in her head, but she shook herself and forced her breath to slow. It was not the right time. Cadance and Shining could be back at any moment.

"Hey, Twilight!"

Twilight jumped up at that, wings spread, a very unprincesslike squeal leaving her throat. She turned towards the window, where the voice had come from. "Rainbow?"

Rainbow Dash was there, hovering in the air with her back towards the ground and her head looking upside down at Twilight. Her legs were still outside, but everything past her waist was inside the building, displaying her complete lack of understanding of privacy and personal space. "Yeah. I came by, like you asked me to." She rolled onto a prone position in the air, and the golden necklace wrapped around her neck with the red lighting bolt jewel embedded in it became clear to see. "What were you doing on the floor?"

Twilight had several questions, not last of which how Rainbow managed to consistently display worse manners than even ponies who had actually been raised in a barn, but at Rainbow's question and seeing the pegasus look down something more akin to survival instinct took over. She quickly shut the book with her magic and pulled it back behind herself. "Oh, you know. Just some boring studying you wouldn't like." She awkwardly cleared her throat, and tried to calm down. "Shining and Cadance are having a chat with Starlight, and I was waiting for them."

Rainbow fully pulled herself in, and touched down on the floor. "Speaking of. You said he wanted to see me, yeah? Sorry, it took me a bit to tell everyone and go grab mine. Which way to their room?" She began to head past Twilight without waiting for a response. "I'm supposed to meet up with Spitfire later and I might have to help with weather duty after that, I don't have much time."

Twilight watched Rainbow walk out of the room, still confused. Only after her friend had disappeared past the corner did she remember to answer her question. "They're in the guestroom. Right next to my room."

"Thanks." Rainbow's voice grew distant, and was barely audible as she asked, "Why do they want to see the Elements anyway?" Her steps picked up speed, then were replaced by the sound of her beating wings. Twilight put a hand to her head. Something felt wrong, but for whatever reason trying to pinpoint what just resulted in her getting a headache. It was like someone had spilled ink about halfway down her mental list of things, and looking at it hurt.

So she looked to the sky outside instead, to clear her thoughts. Then she blinked, and looked again. Was the Sun really on the other side already?

Dash blinked. Her head felt foggy, like she was halfway through a night of heavy drinking. She felt hot and sweaty like after a training session, and she felt good. The room was dark, barely lit by a strange light blue glow that seemed to buzz in her vision like it was trying to burrow its way into her brain. She felt good. There were sounds in the room, unfocused and hard to tell apart. She tried to concentrate on them. One kind stood out among the rest. Moans.

Her eyes snapped fully open, colours and shapes coming into focus in front of her with more clear definition. On the bed, Starlight was on her knees, her chest pressed low onto the crumpled messy sheets. Her tongue was lolling out and her eyes were rolled halfway back into her head. She was moaning from deep within her throat, and her body shook powerfully at a fast, brutal pace. Rainbow looked a bit past her and saw Shining kneeling behind her, forcing his hips against her own over and over as he held her tail with one hand. His chest was bare, but a hint of gold and red shone on his neck, bouncing along with his motions.

Rainbow was naked too. One of her hands shot to her neck, feeling her bare skin. Something felt wrong. She had to focus on something, but she couldn't remember what. Her thoughts were being smothered by a thick weight and thinking was like trying to move through honey with weights on. She tried. She squinted her eyes, breathing deeply in an attempt to understand what her mind wanted to tell her. Then a spike of pleasure drove through her, and her thoughts shattered again. She arched her back and moaned, suddenly aware of how sensitive her cunt was and of the tongue probing into it.

She looked down to see Cadance bent down onto her crotch, lapping expertly at her pussy while her hands held Rainbow's toned thighs spread apart. Her horn was glowing the same blue as the colour filling the room. It was so pretty. Rainbow watched the point of light bob up and down, losing any interest in anything else. It felt so good. She was starting to remember. She thrust her hips upwards to meet Cadance's mouth.

Shining and Cadance had invited her in for a threesome. Or was it a foursome? Her eyes went to Starlight's completely cockdrunk expression for a moment, then right back to Cadance's horn. Didn't matter. The details didn't matter. The pleasure did. She brought a hand to her small tits to pinch her nipples. She'd agreed, of course. She wasn't about to pass up a chance to score with an alicorn. And Shining... She wasn't into stallions, but she... She wasn't... Shining... Shining's cock... The glow of Cadance's magic filled her vision. Image after image of Shining's thick, long, absolutely amazing cock flashed before her mind. Rainbow growled, and came all over Cadance's face.

Twilight sat in bed. On top of the covers, but with her windows closed. That was why it was so hot. Yes. She couldn't open the window, though. Ponies outside might hear. They might see. She moaned quietly, bucking her hips into her hand, as the book quivered in the air within her magical grip.

She hadn't seen Rainbow leave. She hadn't seen Starlight again. That was okay. She'd seen Shining again at dinner, and everything was okay. Starlight was probably back to her experiments, and Rainbow had other things to do; surely she'd gone straight away after meeting with Shining. Twilight's eyes raced over a line after the other, drinking in the contents of the book like water after a trek through the desert. There were sounds coming from Shining's room. Slaps. Moans.

That was okay. It was okay that her brother had only been with her a little before rushing to his room, where Cadance waited for him. There was nothing wrong with couples enjoying themselves, even during a pregnancy, especially on a vacation away from responsibilities. She trusted them to be careful. More importantly, at that moment she couldn't give a fuck. Her middle finger wiggled, buried within her cunt, as her palm ground against her clit. She was so close. Just an orgasm and then she would go to sleep. Just to relieve the tension she felt. Just a little more.

The sounds coming from the guestroom, the sounds of her own moaning and laboured breathing, everything faded as she focused her attention wholly on the book. The King had his newest conquest, a haughty sorceress convinced she could best him and overtake his mind, bent down beneath him on the throne room's floor.

He was pounding into her. Hammering his fat cock into her wet cunt as his hand held her head down against the cold floor. Every thrust reddening her asscheeks as they were hit by his abs. His swinging balls striking her clit hard with every motion. Utterly overwhelming her mind with his sheer virile strength until Twilight shrieked and arched her back and came, stars exploding in her vision. The book fell from her magical grip and she lay panting and dizzy in the dark, listening to the moans and wet slurping sounds coming in from the other room.

Advances and Generosity

Twilight slowly opened her eyes. The room was dark, with only a little light making it in past the blinds. It was hot, and it smelled of what she'd been getting busy with the night before. Which was normal. It was normal for single girls to touch themselves. The room needed some air though, so she flicked her horn and opened the window, letting the sunlight and fresh morning air in. She lay in bed a little longer, until she smelled something different coming from downstairs. Something good, though she did not recognise it. But she was sticky and sweaty still. With a groan she stood up, tossed her clothes to the floor, and went to take a shower.

A couple of minutes later she was making her way downstairs, wearing a pair of shorts and a little top that left her midriff exposed. The weather was getting even hotter somehow. Her dreams had been more confused than the previous night. Full of flashing lights and buzzing sounds. But they had been strangely relaxing too. She felt deeply rested and ready to take on the day, even if looking outside she'd realised it was still surprisingly early and she couldn't have slept all that much. She'd considered taking the book down with her to breakfast, but she'd figured reading it in front of Shining and Cadance could easily end up being too distracting, even if they might have appreciated knowing she liked their gift.

"Good morning, everypony," she announced as she stepped into the kitchen. Shining was sitting at the table, wearing a tight T-shirt that clung to his sculpted muscles and broad chest and left his large, strong arms bare. Cadance was in front of the stove, her skirt hiked up to give a full view of her wide and naked backside, busy humming as she cooked something, bent forward so her ass- Twilight blinked. Cadance was at the stove, standing straight, wearing a short skirt that covered her curves and a small tube top that left her back visible, cooking something. It smelled good.

"Good morning, Twi." Shining looked at her with a smile and he stood, then walked over to embrace her, pressing her into his muscled body as he passionately kissed the top of her head. "We thought we'd wait for you and make something we can all enjoy together." He held her there, pressed into him.

Twilight didn't mind. She liked being close to him. She'd missed her Big Brother deeply. Ever since becoming an Element first, then a Princess on top of it, and especially when she'd had to free him from Chrysalis and help him against Sombra, she'd missed him being the bigger, stronger sibling that she could lean and depend on. It was nice to know he was there for her, her big strong brother again, even if it was just a hug. "What are you making?" she asked, placing a hand over his chest to feel his heartbeat.

"Scrambled eggs," Cadance announced, turning around with a pan held in one hand and a wooden fork in the other, poking the white and yellow mass she'd just taken off the fire.

"Without cheese, don't worry," Shining said.

Twilight smiled and took a seat next to him, waiting for Cadance to put the eggs on the central plate so she could take her own portion.

"You know," Cadance said as she did that, "the secret to making good scrambled eggs is the milk. It helps them stay soft. Otherwise you're just making a messy frittata." She put the empty pan back on the stove. "Go ahead, serve yourselves."

Twilight took about a fourth of the eggs for herself. Shining took half the total, twice as much as Twilight had. Twilight arched an eyebrow at that. "Someone is hungry, huh?"

"Your brother is a big boy, Twi," Cadance said as she took the last fourth. "He needs all the energy he can get."

Twilight frowned for just a moment. She supposed that made sense. "Shouldn't you get more too, though? You're eating for two after all."

"Don't worry, I get more than enough to eat already," Cadance said.

Shining cut in before Twilight could properly think about that. "She's been raiding the palace's pantry repeatedly as of late. She may have done the same here, actually." He shot Cadance a glare. "Maybe your sister in law is forgetting just where we are right now."

Cadance shrank a little under his gaze, blushing and giving an awkward chuckle. "Sorry. Cravings. You know how they are. Or, well, you..." She trailed off, and stuffed another forkful of scrambled eggs into her mouth.

Twilight chuckled. "I swear, if-" She was interrupted by the sudden sound of polite yet firm knocking at the door. She perked up. "Oh. I'll go see who it is. Be right back." With that, she stood.

Once she was halfway down the corridor, out of earshot, the sounds of Shining spanking Cadance for her misstep filled the kitchen, soon followed by her moans.

Twilight, meanwhile, was at the door after just a brief walk. She opened it just after another set of knocks. "Yes? What is it?"

Rarity stood there, prim and proper even in the sweltering summer heat. She wore an armless burgundy blouse with frills along the sides and over her shoulders, a diagonally cut skirt with a gradient from black to purple going in the same direction as the cut, and a white belt studded with blue gems between the two. She also had the Element of Generosity hanging from her neck. "Oh. Hello, Twilight. Your brother is available, right?"

"Uh. Sure. Do come in." Twilight stepped to the side. "Is everything alright?" She looked to the gold and purple necklace resting above Rarity's not insignificantly sized bosom, made to seem larger than it already was thanks to a push-up bra.

"Yes, yes," Rarity said, stepping inside. She had a look around, quirking an eyebrow. "Huh. When did you change the walls? Actually, how did you change them anyway? If I knew of a spell to make gems lighter in colour I could-" She shook her head. "Never mind, sorry. Light blue is a nice colour. Anyway, I have a business meeting later, so I came early." She looked to Twilight. "Are you alright? Rainbow said it was important when she told us to bring the Elements, but it's not something serious, right?"

Twilight hesitated. "I..."

A new voice cut through the air. "Rarity!" It was Starlight, coming down the corridor, wearing a short miniskirt and a top with a deep V cut. "Shining and Cadance told me about wanting to see the Elements. They're waiting for you now, just down the corridor and to the right."

"Thank you, Darling." Rarity turned to Twilight. "I would love to stick around to chat, but I'm in a bit of a hurry, as I said. Perhaps later." She turned again, and strutted down the corridor in that way she always had about walking like she was the single most important pony around, regardless of where she was.

Twilight watched her go. She felt confused, but also sleepy somehow. Or perhaps sleepy wasn't the right term. But there was a tiredness to her thoughts, if not to her body. A sudden bout of fog as she tried to remember why Rarity was there. She turned to the door and saw the bright sky outside, and felt the cool air on her skin. Perhaps a walk to clear her head would-

Starlight's hand wrapped around her arm and kept her there, before Twilight had a chance to step out of the castle. "They won't take long," Starlight assured her. "You wouldn't want to keep your brother waiting. He came all the way here just for you."

Twilight's head was only getting foggier. Her brother. Right. She let Starlight close the door and drag her deeper back into the castle. Wait for Shining and Cadance to be done with Rarity. Rarity... Not worth thinking about it. Not when thinking was so hard. She should find something to pass the time instead. "You're right."

Starlight smiled at her. "Come on. You should at least finish your breakfast." And she led Twilight farther down the corridor, subtly bathed in the weak light blue glow filling its crystal walls, still gripping her arm tight with her hand.

"Oh, Rarity, there you are," said Cadance, leaning against the wall just outside the kitchen. "Shining went back to his room. We should go meet him there."

Rarity curtsied before Cadance. "Greetings, Your Highness. It is always a pleasure to meet you. Are you sure you want to accompany me? I wouldn't want you to exert yourself too much in your conditions." She looked to Cadance's belly with a smile.

"It's no matter," Cadance said. "Come on. This way." She began to walk on deeper into the castle. Rarity looked at her go, swaying her hips and making her fat ass jiggle with each step. Cadance's horn was glowing, a pretty light blue shine. Rarity walked after her. "Here we are."

Rarity was in front of a door. She didn't remember the walk there all that well, or maybe at all. She couldn't focus well. It felt too hot in there for that. Maybe she should take off her top, like Cadance had. Sounds were coming through the door. She hesitated for a moment, but her hand was already on the handle. Something pressed into her back. Something glowed at the side of her vision.

Rarity was inside the room. She was on the ground. Her knees hurt a bit, and her palms did too. Had she been pushed? The room was dark, but there was a light pulsating inside it, and a buzzing sound too. But it wasn't the loudest sound. There were other ones too. Wet, squelching, slapping, panting, moaning. Dazed like she'd been hit in the head, she shook herself and looked around.

There was not much to see. Her Element lying a short distance to her side. The door closed behind her. The luggage stuffed into a corner of the room. The glowing crystal on the desk, taking root into the wood and into the wall. All that she saw, but she didn't pay much attention to any of it. Instead her eyes were on the only other two ponies in the room, up onto the bed.

The only face she could see clearly was Shining's, but she recognised the mare beneath him easily regardless. Her toned blue body, athletic wings, and unkempt rainbow tail made who she was apparent, even if that was just about all that Rarity could see of her. Of course, even in the darkness the sound of her moans would have given her away. Rainbow Dash had her head, neck, and shoulders pressed into the bed, her back rising up like she was doing a shoulder stand candle pose, but curved in instead of straight, looking far messier than proper exercise as a result. Her arms were splayed out over the covers and her legs too were spread open and bent, though that was inevitable with Shining's in the way, pressing down on them. He had his broad hands gripping her pert ass and his hips pressed against hers, and Rainbow's legs hooked up around his own as he moved her body back and forth like she was a piece of training equipment. And with every motion he made her cunt slide around his cock, the sound of their genitals dragging against each other loud as the sheer size of his shaft kept her walls stretched and clamping greedily down on him.

Rarity stared at the display for a few seconds, her mind completely empty. Then, finally, things clicked into place, as the memory of the spell Cadance had used on her before leaving fully came in. Rarity tore open her dress and left it in tatters on the floor. She had a cock to worship.

"What scene are you on?"

Twilight jumped in her seat. Starlight had brought her to the library to wait for Cadance and Shining, and had also graciously brought her the book so she could keep reading as she waited. Twilight realised, as she panted and shook, that she'd been so taken by the story she'd almost started to touch herself again right there. She hadn't heard Cadance coming in at all, either.

Cadance just stared at her with big, friendly eyes surrounded by a hefty dose of makeup, fluttering her long lashes as her glossy lips curved themselves into a cute pout.

Slowly, Twilight calmed down. She cleared her throat, and set the book aside for a moment. There was nothing wrong with telling her. Cadance had gifted her the book, had read it herself, and wanted to know if Twilight was liking it. Which she was. They were both adult mares, discussing things it was perfectly normal to discuss with close loved ones and ponies they could trust. It didn't have to be a burden. It would feel good to let go. It wasn't wrong to care about her feelings and not about what ponies might think.

Twilight opened the book again to check. "I'm about halfway through, I think. It's a bit of a wind-down chapter. There's no new characters or really any plot development, it's mostly just known characters interacting right now." She swallowed. She knew what Cadance wanted to know. "It's the banquet scene. The orgy right after it." She realised she was shaking a little. "You know. The one where the King has all his captured, broken slaves servicing him together." She had more to say about what was happening in the story, but her mouth was suddenly dry.

"I really like that scene." Cadance leaned forward in her seat, surprising Twilight with how casual her tone was. "It's a good reminder of everything he's done and consolidates it well, instead of having the individual conquests only exist within their own scenes. Plus it's just really hot." Her voice slowly but surely morphed into a husky purr. "I adore the image of all those mares kneeling and crawling before him. The reverence they display as they service him. I just love the part where they all worship his cock."

Twilight trembled, and had to force her breath to move again after it had gotten stuck in her throat. "I don't think I'm quite at that point yet." Cadance was being so brazen. Was that what being a mother and wife was like? Was it really so liberating? Twilight tried to change the subject. "How long until Shining gets back?"

"Shining gets back when he pleases." Cadance's response was snappy and cold. But she cheered back up a moment later. "Him and Rarity have something to discuss. Like we told you, we're trying to figure out if there's some connection between the Elements of Harmony and the magic of the Crystal Empire. Thank you again for having them all called here."

They were discussing the Elements and crystals. Twilight had called her friends. Of course. Yeah. How had she forgotten about it? It was probably the heat. Summer made it hard to focus. It was a good thing Cadance and Shining were there to refresh her thoughts if she forgot something again. It was good to have them around. "Is there something you'd like to chat about or do while we wait for him?" Twilight wouldn't have minded getting back to the book, but it wouldn't have been nice to do so while Cadance was right there.

"Actually..." Cadance leaned forward even more, and that made her heavy tits push downwards against her top as gravity pulled them towards the ground. "I was thinking we could have a little chat about him. You know, sister to sister."

Twilight smiled. She wouldn't have wanted to talk about Shining behind his back, but she was sure nothing Cadance could say about him would count as that, and the idea of chatting about him sounded appealing. There were surely a lot of things they could both say on the matter. "Sure. I think I could like that."

"Great." Cadance stood straight again, making her tits bounce, and scooted a little closer to Twilight, dragging her large and barely covered ass over the couch. "There's so much I'm curious about, and so much I want to tell you. Have you seen his muscles lately? He's been training harder than ever." She looked into the distance with a dreamy expression. "It brings me back to the days when we were still students. He's even better now than he was back then."

Twilight chuckled into her hand. "You really are in love, huh?" She could swear she could practically see hearts in Cadance's eyes as she thought of Shining.

"How could I not be?" Cadance focused on Twilight again. "Shining is so strong, and so beautiful, and so smart, and he's just so damn fucking hot. I don't think there's a single mare out there who wouldn't envy the position of being with him." She leaned in close again, this time to whisper into Twilight's ears. "Especially once they found out how good he fucks."

Twilight blushed as Cadance drew back. Details of that kind weren't exactly what she wanted to hear. Of course, she knew Cadance and Shining fucked, the proof was right in front of her, but still it was a bit like being made to think about one's own parents having sex. It was one thing to know, and a whole other to be forced to visualise her brother, naked, bulging muscles glistening with sweat, bent over a mare, thrusting into her, taking her hard, his fat cock- Twilight gave a sharp, deep exhale, coming back to herself. She felt hot. She hadn't been... She'd thought about similar things before, and they hadn't... She closed her eyes to try and focus, only for a new image of Shining's chiselled body and huge throbbing shaft to flash before her vision. She ground her hips together, and opened her eyes, startled. "That's..." She tried to think of what to say. It was hard. Like Shining's- "That's nice to know. For you. Yeah." She cleared her throat. "I'm glad."

"Oh, yeah." Cadance vigorously nodded. "And he's got so much stamina, too. You wouldn't believe. I don't think he'd ever need to stop if it wasn't for other things needing his attention."

Twilight was blushing harder, but her nethers weren't getting any less damp. It was the damn book still lingering in her mind. It was... Why was it so hard to think all of a sudden? She shook her head. Had she zoned out again? She tried to take deep breaths to steady herself. Where was she? Right. Talking with Cadance. "That- That is also good. Um, I think." She gave an awkward smile. "I hope he's not too much for you." Her blush grew fiercer. But she wouldn't get a better chance to approach the subject, and Cadance and her trusted each other, and she had heard, and... "I, uh, I heard you two going at it last night." She cleared her throat. "I think."

Cadance smiled at her. There was something different about that smile, but Twilight couldn't tell what. "Oh, don't worry about it, Twi. Shining is a lot, yeah. In a lot of ways." She raised her eyebrows a couple of times. "But I do like him that way. And if he's ever too much for me, well..." She stretched, pushing out her chest. "It's the present day, Twilight. No reason a stallion can't have a little extra fun if everyone involved is okay with it."

"Hey, Twi!"

But Twilight didn't respond. She was sitting on the library couch, staring at the glowing ceiling. Before Pinkie could call to her again, Starlight pulled her hard away from the door and deeper into the corridor.

"Aww. Is she taking a nap?" Pinkie's Element bounced up and down in time with her tits with every springy step she took along the way. She was definitely the chubbier out of her friends, but nowhere near as much as her sugar consumption levels should have landed her at. She wore a pair of long striped socks, a flower pattern skirt down to her knees, and a plain soft yellow T-shirt.

"Shining and Cadance are this way," Starlight said. She wasn't wearing a bra, and her nipples pushed against her blouse. Her mane was messy, and her face had some spots where something had dried on it.

Pinkie just shrugged and followed along. It wasn't her business what ponies got up to if they were happy and no one got hurt. She looked around as they moved through the castle. "Ooh, pretty. Since when do the walls glow?"

Starlight didn't answer that.

They got to the guestroom after less than a minute of walking. Pinkie leaned against the door, pressing her ear into it. "It sounds like a party in there."

Starlight didn't answer. Starlight didn't look like she'd even heard Pinkie, and there was an odd and mechanical jerkiness to her motions, a hazy emptiness in her eyes. Pinkie noticed that, but before she could react Starlight had already opened the door and pushed her inside.

Pinkie looked around. The room was dark, yet the crystal spreading over the desk and into the floor was strangely bright. Rarity and Rainbow Dash were naked on the bed, lying on their knees one on each of Shining's sides, running their tongues up and down his cock as they bent their waists down and stretched forward to reach it while resting their hands on his muscled thighs. He wore their Elements over his shoulders like some sort of hunting trophy.

"Ooh, an orgy! A surprise orgy! You know I love surprises!" Pinkie got to her knees and moved before Shining, who was sitting at the edge of the bed. He looked at her, speechless, quirking an eyebrow.

Before anyone else could say anything, Pinkie opened her mouth and took in both of his nuts. From her spot in the corner Cadance stumbled, like she'd been struck, staring wide-eyed at Pinkie. "Well I'll be..."

Shining looked at Cadance, very pleased with how Pinkie's mouth felt around his balls, her tongue running over them expertly making his cock throb. "You could stand to learn a thing or two from her, slut."

Pinkie stopped licking his sack and tried to draw back, to tell him that wasn't very nice of him and he should have warned her in advance if that was going to be one of those kinds of session. Cadance's spell hit her before she could speak.

"Goodnight, Twi." Shining planted a kiss on her forehead, then closed the door and walked away.

Twilight stood in the dark in her room. They'd had dinner together. She could still feel the bits of food in her mouth. She couldn't remember it all too well. Things were a bit of a blur in her mind. Maybe she needed a bit of a break. Maybe a proper vacation would help. She couldn't really do any Princess stuff in that state.

She was suddenly aware that she was clutching her book. Pressing it into her chest. Rubbing her stiff nipples against its hard cover. She bit her lip. It wouldn't hurt, right? Shining and Cadance were going to bed anyway. To have fun with each other. And maybe one of her friends was... No. Twilight shook her head. That was a silly thought. She rubbed her thighs against each other. She could hear muffled noises and shuffling from the other room. It was an arousing thought, even if maybe it shouldn't have been.

She walked back to her bed, settled down onto it, and spread her legs. Her clothes came flying off in her telekinetic grip. One hand cupped one of her tits, the other went to her crotch. The book floated before her, lit by her magic's glow.

The King sat on his throne. He looked a bit like Shining did. There was nothing wrong with that. Shining was just the best physical example Twilight had. He was strong and muscled, like the King. He had a huge cock, like the King. Twilight thought of every half glimpsed hint of his bulge back when they lived together, of the way his sized filled out his swimming trunks when they went on vacation together. That had been impressive already, but Cadance had told her that was just his soft length.

The King held a witch who'd dared challenge him by her torso, upside-down, and roughly shoved her up and down with her throat around his cock. She was practically a toy to him, her body his plaything, her powerful magic completely useless as her brilliant mind was far too scrambled by his physical domination. And her coat looked a nice shade or purple, reddened by his blows, her fat tits and ass jiggling as he made use of her. Twilight gritted her teeth, and her moans joined those coming from the mares in the other room.

Proposals and Honesty

Twilight woke to a strange glow. The window was still closed, and it would stay closed, but the crystal wall right above her headrest had taken on a different colour and was actively illuminating the room. There was a pattern to the portion that was lit up, a bit like a flower or roots spreading out, and it glowed a bright light blue. "That's weird," she commented. But then, living in a magical crystal tree castle was weird too. The glowing area didn't look dangerous anyway. If anything, its shape reminded her a bit of her cutie mark.

It was raining outside. She could hear it hitting the roof from there. She didn't remember if rain had been scheduled for the day, but it wasn't really an issue. She didn't mind staying inside with Shining and Cadance. She threw on a pair of panties and a loose fitting black T-shirt that was several sizes too large and she didn't remember owning, and headed downstairs, only bothering to use her fingers to brush aside those few strands of her mane that were directly in front of her eyes.

Shining and Cadance were in the kitchen, among a lot of different plates filled with sweets. Pinkie was with them, wearing her skirt and a bra. "Oh, hey, Twilight!" She waved as Twilight walked in.

"Hey, Pinkie." Twilight sat down, and picked up a cupcake. "I guess this is your work?"

Pinkie nodded enthusiastically. "I just had to make a special breakfast for my bestest friend and this very special day."

Twilight chewed on the cupcake. It was sweet as they always were when Pinkie made one. She thought for a second upon hearing that. "Oh, right." She looked to Shining and Cadance, suddenly feeling strangely sad. "You're leaving tomorrow, aren't you?"

Shining and Cadance had been enveloped in a deep and passionate kiss since before Twilight had walked in, but it finally broke at that. Shining spoke as he kept a hand around Cadance's neck. "Actually, I was thinking we could extend our visit a little. If that wouldn't be a problem with you."

Twilight felt her stomach and heart flutter at that. She tried to reason it was just because she loved her brother. "No, no, that would be wonderful actually. But won't that be a problem? The Empire needs someone to run it after all."

"The Empire practically runs itself nowadays," Shining said. "I think I may be more needed here."

"Shining did a wonderful job there lately." Cadance leaned into him, practically rubbing her belly against his naked abs. "He's such a good ruler. I've never known a better one."

"Not everyone can be that way." Shining kept his hand around Cadance's neck, stroking her chin. "Some are born to rule. Some are born to be ruled. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm glad I belong to the former group, but those who don't shouldn't be sad. There's happiness to be found in accepting who you are and what you really want."

Twilight swallowed her cupcake in silence. There was a lot she felt like she needed to think about. She'd felt that way for a while, really, but she'd been avoiding the topic, distracting herself with other stuff so she wouldn't need to. Now that Shining was there for her, now that she had someone she could rely on and let herself be vulnerable with in a way she couldn't with Celestia, whom she did not wish to disappoint, her mind had finally found itself circling around those thoughts that had been troubling her for a long time. It was a bother that she'd also been suffering from such a mental fog lately. Only, she was starting to realise, what she'd thought of as a wall was more like a maze. She made no progress sometimes, but only because she was going the wrong way. As soon as she found the right thoughts, she could feel herself move forward. She just had to figure out where she mentally needed to go.

A knock on the door came before the awkwardness of her silence could set in. Cadance stood. "I'll go get it." She walked out, giving Shining a full view of her swaying hips as her panties sank deep between her buttocks. A moment later, Pinkie got up and walked out too, following a dash of rainbow tail Twilight hadn't seen. That left Shining and Twilight alone.

He spoke. "There's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Fluttershy stood at the door, her umbrella by her side, dripping down onto the staircase. The entrance suddenly opened before her. "Oh. Hello," she said, surprised to see Cadance as the one greeting her and even more surprised to see her wearing one of Shining's T-shirts, which went halfway down her round belly, and only small white panties aside from that. "I'm sorry, is it a bad time?"

"Oh, not at all." Cadance grabbed Fluttershy's hand and dragged her in, then closed the door. "I hope you didn't get too wet out there. I can take you to our room right away."

Fluttershy looked around. Something felt off, but she couldn't tell what. "Alright. Could I see Twilight too? I haven't seen her since you arrived." She set the umbrella in a corner to drip down on the floor.

"I'm sure she won't mind. She's busy now, though. But later, sure." Cadance began to lead the way, still holding Fluttershy's hand.

Fluttershy stood just a little shorter than Cadance. She wore a pair of ocher pants held by a dark red belt, a green sweater that was just a little baggy but didn't really hide her huge tits all that much, and her Element of Harmony, of course. She followed along, still looking around and frowning. As they passed by a window, she finally got it. It was closed, and it was fairly dark outside with the downpour going on, but the inside of the castle was all lit up. It was like the walls themselves were glowing. She looked at them, fascinated.

Cadance's voice drew her attention away. "Here we are." The guestroom door stood before them. Somehow, the room behind it felt like the only dark place in the whole castle, and its shadow stretched out below the door like ink spilling out on a table, or like twisted branches reaching out to grab ponies in a nightmare. Fluttershy was suddenly afraid. A chill ran down her back. It was instinct, like that of an animal, but she knew well enough to trust that sort of thing.

She took a step back. Cadance's grip tightened around her hand. "Why am I here?" Fluttershy asked. "Where's Twilight?" She tried to pull her hand away, but to no avail.

Cadance stared at her. There was something wrong with her eyes. Her horn was lighting up. But before she could do anything, Fluttershy stared back. Cadance froze up, her hand went limp, and Fluttershy made a break for it.

She did not get far. In her hurry her mane had gone over her eyes, and she ended up slamming into someone else just a few steps after she'd started running. She forced herself to look, terrified, but breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh, Rarity. I think something's wrong, we need to..."

But Fluttershy's words died in her throat, and she began to pant as she noticed the state of Rarity's dress, almost fully open and crumpled, exposing the lack of a bra or anything else underneath. Higher than that her completely ruined and smudged makeup, her messy mane, and her subtly glowing eyes. Fluttershy tried to shriek, by Rarity's hand and magic were quicker.

Fluttershy was gagged with something, blindfolded, and dragged kicking and whimpering into the room by her neck and mane. She was made to kneel, and Rarity knelt behind her, holding Fluttershy's arms against her back before removing the blindfold with her magic.

Rainbow Dash, Starlight, and Pinkie Pie knelt close in front of her, forming a rough semicircle, fully naked and with hollow expressions of their own. Fluttershy whimpered and shook, but she was too scared and weak to break free. Cadance walked in and closed the door.

"You're a tough one," she said. She knelt down besides Fluttershy, avoiding direct eye contact. "But let's see if you can take this." Her magic drew lines between Shining's four slaves' foreheads and Fluttershy's. Her horn grew brighter for a moment. Then, in an instant, memories of the last couple of days, of Shining's dominion over their bodies and minds, surged from the four ponies and slammed straight into Fluttershy.

Fluttershy arched her back and rolled her eyes farther still. Her whole body shook as she wailed from deep in her chest and came, drenching her underwear and pants and even her sweater as a gushing orgasm like nothing she'd ever felt wracked her body the same way the overload of information Cadance had forced on her wracked her mind.

"I'm sure Cadance has mentioned to you some of our less... conventional bedroom activities," Shining said. His tone was regal, elegant yet firm. It was a diplomatic kind of tone, like what he'd use when trying to convince a foreign dignitary. It commanded respect, yet it promised welcoming warmth in return. It was deep and powerful, sensual and persuasive. He continued. "I know you're a smart mare. I've seen firsthand how you believe logic should trump over tradition when it means making ponies' lives better as a result. I know what I'm about to ask is no easy thing, but I trust if there's any mare capable of doing what's right in this situation it's you."

Twilight swallowed, and waited for him to go on. She was dizzy, and hot, and she didn't know what she wanted anymore. Did she want to listen to her brother? Did she want to go to her room and get back to reading her book? She felt torn apart and in need of something solid to latch on to. Maybe Shining would be it.

Shining nodded subtly as he saw her silent and pensive. "I have decided to invite you to be part of our relationship. You would not be the first other mare I bed besides Cadance, but this would be a more official matter. We would be wed. You would be my second bride, with everything that implies, both formally and personally. Now, I do understand that this all may seem strange, but I ask you to think about it rationally. Common perception of something is no reason for it to be truly held as wrong. In fact, this is the exact kind of thing that would lead to a change in perception from others. You could be helping ponykind with this. And you could be helping yourself, if it's what you want.

"It is what I want. It's what Cadance wants. I have long suspected that it may be what you want as well, and she believes as much too, but I will not force your hand. We're all adults. Consenting, and able to decide for ourselves. Any negative social consequences, like I've said, would come to an end over time. Any biological ones, if you chose to have me as Cadance does, can be dealt away with magic. Our child would be as healthy as any. Ponykind has advanced, and it is time we stop denying some what they want and make Equestria a better place for everyone. It is something Cadance has wished for a long time. I ask you to take that step, and I promise to be with you all the way."

Twilight was looking at him, but she wasn't really seeing him. Her vision was foggy and her body swayed side to side on her seat. Her panties had gotten drenched at the mention of bearing Shining's child, and she was still struggling to get the image out of her head and think of anything else. Oh why did it turn her on so much? How had she never realised how much she yearned for her brother? And now he was there, offering himself to her, with Cadance encouraging her. With the prospect of taking the first step towards ending a social stigma towards that same kind of love she found herself feeling.

And yet was that really how she felt? Was that really what she thought? It was so hard. It was so hard to think, to focus on anything. The room was hot and stuffy and the air felt weird. Her nipples were hard and they brushed against her T-shirt and her mind was swimming in images of Shining fucking other mares, Shining fucking Cadance, Shining fucking her. It wasn't what he was asking. Surely he wouldn't be. Shining was sweet, and loving, and he would be romantic, and he wished to be close to her, and there would be ceremonies and dinners and pleasantries and why oh why could she only think of sex?

It was hard to tell her thoughts apart from her fantasies. Hard to tell what she wanted apart from the words she heard, the things she read, the images she was plagued with. She felt lost, drifting, and hot and needy. Too horny to think. She bit down on her lip. Stars she wanted to be fucked. Her fingers just weren't doing it anymore. Ever since getting far enough into the book she'd wanted, needed something more. She needed her holes stretched, and used, and properly fucked. She wanted to submit. It sounded so hot. Shining was asking her a serious important question and all she could think about was how much she needed to get fucked. She felt like such a slut. Her panties got wetter. "I... I'm not sure I can answer right now, it's... I need time to..." To make myself cum until it hurts so maybe I'll be able to think when I'm done.

"It's hard." Shining's voice was soothing. Firm. Clear. It was a lifeline in the maelstrom of her thoughts. "Important decisions are difficult, and this one especially. It would be the most important decision in your life. But it would be the last." He looked at her, and she looked at him, and his eyes were the only thing she could see clearly for the first time in minutes. Twilight's breath tumbled over itself. Shining continued. "You wouldn't be alone anymore. You wouldn't have to choose alone anymore. I would rule with you over everything you're Princess of. I would always be there for you. Will you be there for me?"

Twilight's heartbeat slowed to a crawl and she blushed as in a second all her thoughts drained away, and all the love and admiration she'd ever felt for her brother came surging to her mind. Would it be so bad to let it blossom into something more? Somewhere in her mind, parts of her screamed something was wrong. But they were distant, sealed behind walls Twilight hadn't noticed as they'd been put there, and she did not hear them. And it seemed easy, and good, to just say yes. To love Shining back. To be with her B.B.B.F.F. again.

And then embrace him. Hold him. Touch him. Kiss him. Twilight's breath grew faster and heat rose in her cheeks and her chest. She saw herself together with Shining. Alone. Stripping off her clothes for him. Stripping off his clothes. Seeing his cock, and holding it, and stroking it, and making it grow hard for her. And kissing it, and licking it, and lying on her back and spreading her legs for her brother to fuck her. Shame overcame her, but lust won out over it, and she gritted her teeth to hold back a moan as the stain on her underwear spread into the armchair she was sitting on.

She couldn't think. She didn't know what to think, or what to say. "I..." She was panting, struggling to even decide what words to get out, let alone with saying them. It all felt off, and not quite right. Her head was foggy again, walls pressing into her mind from every direction and trying to smother her thoughts. There was something just out of reach but she couldn't see or remember what it was. Why was it so difficult? What did she want? "I..."

"Take all the time you need." Shining stood up, and smiled, and went to answer the knocks at the door, leaving Twilight alone in the library, with her thoughts and her book.

Applejack eyed Shining as the door opened. She wore a checkered red flannel shirt, tight jeans, her hat, and her Element of Honesty around her neck. Her arms were exposed from the elbow and down, muscled but not too defined, the way hard work on the farm made them. "Hey there. Rainbow told me ya had something to tell us about the Elements." She wondered why exactly the stallion was only wearing a pair of pants, though she did not comment on it. It was true it had stopped raining, but it still wasn't as hot as it had been just the day before.

"That I have." Shining opened the door wider. "Please come in."

Applejack stepped in. "I have work back at the farm, so you'll forgive me if I'd rather keep this brief." She hesitated a moment, then swallowed and took off her hat. "Pleased to see you and all, Prince Shining. Sorry, manners were always more of Rarity's thing." She didn't mean to be mean to Twilight's brother after all. She put her hat back on and looked around, when suddenly her eyes landed on the umbrella in the corner. She recognised it.

Shining closed the door. "Nothing to worry about. I'm here as a friend, not as royalty. You can spare the pleasantries for the moment, and I promise I won't hold you more than necessary." He turned to face her fully.

Applejack looked back to him. "Is Fluttershy here too?"

Shining very subtly raised an eyebrow, and looking past her he noticed the umbrella too. "She was here earlier. She must have forgotten that since it had stopped raining already when she left."

Applejack blinked, biting on the inside of her lip. "That's weird. It only stopped a little ago, I should have run into her if she was heading back home." She looked to the umbrella again. "She ain't that forgetful usually, anyway."

Shining stepped closer to her. "She had a lot to think about after we talked. Maybe she went for a walk instead of heading home."

Applejack shrugged. "Could be. I'll pick that up for her when I leave." She turned again, and was slightly surprised to see Shining so close. "So, what was it we needed to talk about?"

Shining stared at her, then threw a glace down the corridor. Cadance still wasn't back, and all the others were with her. He couldn't really risk getting Applejack to notice Twilight's current state, which would be hard to avoid walking that way with the library door still open. Sure, he could take a longer path, and he usually preferred to have things taken care of a different way, but maybe a change of pace wouldn't be so bad.

With a flick of his magic he burnt away his few clothes and all of Applejack's, save for her Element and her hat. He thought the hat looked cute on her. He did burn the hairbands on her mane and tail though, letting the former splay out over her shoulders. His cock sprung up at full mast and he took another step forward.

Applejack took a step back, dumbfounded, looking first at him and then at herself before finally realising what was going on. She covered her ample bosom with a hand, stepping back again. "What the hay has gotten into you?" It was all happening fast, but her confusion and embarrassment were quickly turning to anger. Yet, as quickly as that happened, she didn't get time to act on it.

Shining was immediately on her, moving with blinding speed despite his impressive size. He pushed her against the wall, grinding his huge and muscled chest and abs against Applejack's own sturdy and hard-worked body. He lifted the arm she'd held over her chest with one hand, grasping it by the wrist, and his other arm went behind Applejack to sink his hand into her huge ass. Before she could speak, his mouth pressed into hers hard, and his tongue parted her lips forcefully, finding her own and wrestling it into submission.

Applejack's attempt at a scream devolved into a nonsensical moan. For a moment she felt her strength being sapped away and her head grow all fuzzy. The glowing crystal wall behind her was warm on her back, hot even, and there was a sound from it like a swarm of cicadas that burrowed into her ears and filled her mind. Shining's tongue tasted of sweat and his smell filled her nose, like her own after a hard day. His cock was against her, huge and throbbing and warm.

Then her eyes focused again as the cold metal of her Element pressed into her, jolting her from her stupor. Her tongue was pinned under Shining's, so she did the only other thing she could think of and bit down her teeth. She couldn't move one of her arms, pinned against the wall above her head, but the other was still free and she slammed it forward with a punch. She did not hold back. It was clear that whatever had gotten into Shining wasn't good.

Shining stumbled back, cursing unintelligibly under his breath. Applejack saw her chance. "Forgive me, Twi," she muttered to herself as she turned and bent, her tail and mane swinging with the speed of her motions. After a brief look to aim, she delivered a powerful kick towards Shining's chest. She did not hold back, bucking like she would against a sturdy tree. The sound of the impact reverberated down the corridor and she felt the strength of it travel back down her leg.

But as she looked, Shining hadn't moved even a little, and despite the little bit of blood that was on his lips he was smiling at her. "Should have gone for the balls," he said as she quickly drew back her leg. But as she kicked again, aiming to do just that, he intercepted the blow with a punch and sent her hoof off course, hitting his thigh instead.

Applejack quickly got into a defensive stance and tried to kick and punch him again, but every hit she dished out he would either deflect or take without flinching. He was on her again, and he grabbed both her arms and spread them against the wall, pressing himself into her and his knees against hers, blocking her legs too. She whimpered. "You'll never get away with this."

"Oh, please. Well, I suppose I'm not above cliches myself, so if you insist..." Suddenly Shining pulled her off the wall, and quickly pinned both her arms against her back as he turned her towards the corridor. "I already have."

Applejack had only a moment to see Cadance rushing towards them, her horn glowing bright. Then her vision was filled with light.

Twilight opened her eyes. What time was it? She looked around. There weren't any clocks in the library. The room was bright, the alien blue glow that filled it radiating from the walls themselves. There was a strange background sound, like insects buzzing or static coming from a scratched vinyl.

Her T-shirt was pushed up, exposing her chest. Drool had dried on her cheeks and chin and neck. Her panties were around her ankles and her sex was wet, the air cold against it. The book was in her grasp. She was close to the end.

She latched onto the words before her, finding them a stable anchor to hold on to against her swaying vision and memories and thoughts. The King was assfucking one of his slaves. It didn't matter who she was. All slaves were equally his, and equally worthless before him. He was taking her doggy style as he held onto the sides of her mouth with his hands, keeping it open while he brutally rammed himself into her. At the same time, another one of his brides was behind him, on her knees, her face buried into his ass as she rimmed his hole. Another one was close by, slapping her sopping cunt as she watched him mercilessly claim the first one.

Twilight shuddered all over, pleasure flowing hot through her body even without touching herself. It washed away everything else for a moment, and she moaned. The moan was deep and long, and Twilight lost herself in it, reading and reading on without thought, absorbing the words and feeling good, lit by the glow around her as the buzzing filled her ears.

Then, sighing contently, Twilight set down the book. She had something she needed to do.

Author's Note

The Applejack scene was originally different from how it is here. You can read that version here.

Siblings and Love

Twilight moved slowly down the glowing corridor. Her panties had slipped off her ankles a few steps before. Her T-shirt was in the way, and so she pulled it off over her head and tossed it aside. Shining was in his room. Shining Armor was waiting for her. She had to go see him.

She cupped her breasts as she walked. They weren't flat, but they were still a little small. She wanted bigger ones, like those Cadance or even Celestia had. She'd always wanted big ones. She'd even gone and researched how to get them, but she always came up short when she did. Maybe Shining could help her. He'd helped Sunny, after all.

The hallway was littered with other clothes. A large sweater. A diagonally cut skirt. A pair of striped socks. A ripped blouse. A crumpled T-shirt. Panties and snapped-off bras and other tatters of cloth, all leading her towards Shining's room. The hair was hot, and heavy, forcing her to take in deep breaths, yet it felt cool against her damp pussy lips. The musk of sex grew stronger the deeper into the castle she moved, and soon she could hear moaning too.

So many voices. It was hard to tell them apart. Not that it mattered. They were all the same. They were all there for the same reason. For Shining to fuck them. She could have her voice join in with them. It would be good. It would be okay. They'd make it legal if need be. She could kiss Shining. She could love Shining. She could bear Shining's child. Was it really so bad?

She stood in front of the door. It was a thin, wooden door, plain and weak, yet still it held back most of the sound. She could only dream of what it would be like on the other side. She could feel the magic thrumming beyond it, shaking the air with its sheer intensity. She should have been worried. She should have been confused. On some level she knew all that. She could feel dozens of different mental alarms going off in her brain. And yet she could not care for them. It was like moving in a dream. It was like being sick and too filled with drugs to even realise what she was doing. It was like she was just a character in a book, playing things out and watching them happen without control at the same time.

Twilight Sparkle opened the door.

Everything hit her all at once. The smell of three days of constant fucking in a closed room struck her almost physically as the air rolled out of the open door, fogging her brain and making her thighs clench. With it came the furnace-like heat that washed over her, making her skin tingle and sweat all over as it blanketed her like a wave. The sounds grew louder and clearer, no longer muffled moans but now sharp cries of ecstasy that overlapped with each other, too many to tell any of them apart. Other sounds became clear too, wet and meaty, sloppy and obscene, like flesh grinding against flesh and bodies smacking violently against one another.

The light in the room was bright, almost blinding compared to the half gloom she had been in. It was like the glow itself was singing, a sound clearer than all the other ones, bright and evident above the chaos as if projected not to her ears but directly to her mind. It beckoned her closer, and with light and swaying steps she obeyed. She could not even think, she could only follow as the light commanded her to step in.

The door slid closed behind her. Twilight sighed. Her mind lost some of the fog shrouding it, and the scene before her resolved itself into something she could properly see.

Shining was the first thing she saw, the one thing her eyes focused on. The centre of the room and the most important thing in it. He sat upon the edge of his bed like he was sitting on a throne, his fully naked body gleaming with sweat and other fluids in the light, every detail of his muscled limbs and torso vividly visible. Twilight's eyes focused elsewhere however.

His cock was standing firm at full size, and the sight of it took her breath away. It was massive, even bigger than she'd imagined it, thick and long with two huge, heavy balls beneath it. And wrapped around his cock like a set of five rings were the Elements of Harmony belonging to her friends, placed so their gems were on the underside of his shaft. The golden necklaces had reshaped and tightened themselves into proper bands that fit his girth perfectly.

Looking up from the slick tip of his magnificent cock, Twilight's eyes trailed over his chiselled abs, his muscled chest, and his wide shoulders. Upwards still, to his confident smirk, his eyes shining in the light, and on his head the Element of Magic sitting almost like it was his own crown, if slightly askew. The sight of it there felt wrong. The sight of it there felt right. Twilight didn't know what to think, and so she did not think and merely looked on. His horn was lit by a glowing line of magic, and Twilight followed it with her eyes.

She found Cadance, a tight collar wrapped around her neck. She was on the bed behind Shining, kneeling, pressing her pierced chest into his back and with her arms over his thighs, planting wet kisses on his neck. Her wings would quiver lightly from time to time, her eyes were unfocused, and her breathing seemed slow.

Twilight's vision widened a bit further than before, more of the scene becoming clear to her. There was Rainbow kneeling before the bed on one of Shining's sides, fingering herself roughly as her other hand held one of Shining's balls that her mouth and tongue lapped desperately at. Her nose was buried in his crotch, her expression completely hidden. Twilight felt something was wrong, but the sight was too hot to care.

On the opposite side, Applejack was doing exactly the same. Her strong, roughly built body was slick in the light, showing the size of her muscles and what little definition they had. Her blonde mane was unbound and splayed over her back and shoulders, and her tail was spread out on the ground. She held Shining's ball like she would an apple she did not wish to damage in any way, and licked it slowly and sweetly. Her fingers toyed with her cunt at a slow and careful pace, and her hat sat askew on her head, obscuring her eyes.

Twilight looked farther up. On the bed, on the same side as Applejack was Fluttershy. She was bent forward, with her ass sticking up behind herself and her fat tits pressed hard beneath her. She had her face planted directly into Shining's cock, with her tongue out, and more than licking it she was practically running her whole head up and down, smearing herself against his length. On the other side, Pinkie was doing exactly the same thing.

Up still. One on each side, Rarity and Starlight were kneeling besides Shining, facing each other and him. Each with one hand fingering the mare bent over on her side, Pinkie for one unicorn and Fluttershy for the other. Their horns were glowing, thrusting shafts of ethereal energy into each other's marehoods. Their free arms were wrapped around Shining's neck, with their hands caressing his muscles, and their heads leaned towards him to kiss and lick his shoulders and chest.

In a corner of her vision, Twilight was vaguely aware of a misshapen glowing crystal that was lighting the whole room. It was huge and it had fully enveloped and consumed the desk once there, and it was digging its roots into the walls and and floor and ceiling, merging with the castle and pouring magic into it. It was stuffed full of so much magic she could taste it, and she knew for a fact she should have been worried about it. But she could not care even a bit.

There was only one thing she could care about at that moment. She took a step forward, then another, then sank to her knees. It was selfish, perhaps. Maybe not the act itself, but her reasons for ultimately choosing to do it certainly were. But the images from the book filled her head ceaselessly, pushing out everything else, and she couldn't help but see Shining in them, and all the mares around him, and herself. She looked up to her brother towering over her even as he sat, and felt the last of her hesitation drain away. "Shining Armor..." She tasted the name on her lips. It felt sweet. "I accept." Her heart fluttered with joy, even as her mind told her things didn't feel the way they were supposed to.

Shining looked at her with interest and a clear air of superiority, as the other seven mares kept pleasing him. "What exactly do you accept?" he asked in his warm, diplomatic tone.

Twilight breathed deeply, shuffling on her knees. "I accept to be with you," she said. Words spilled out faster as she let herself go. "I accept to being your bride. You partner in love, and in bed if you will want me there. I accept to be the mother of your child if you were so to wish. I accept to love you, my brother, my Prince." She looked at him feeling drunk on the heat of her blush. "I love you, Shining."

For just a moment, impossible to see from where Twilight was kneeling, a vein throbbed in Shining's forehead. Slowly as he talked, but surely, his voice got just a little deeper, harsher, and cold. "Is that all you agree to? Is there not more you wish, and more you're here to subject yourself to? Do you truly understand the conditions you are to place yourself in?"

"I..." Twilight hesitated, squirming in her heat. The mental walls were there again, keeping her trapped, and she couldn't find the way forward in her thoughts. Luckily, Shining was there to guide her.

His voice was commanding the next time he spoke. Not like a Captain encouraging his troops during training, but like one ordering them before battle. It was firm and rough and it permitted no retorts or disagreements. It tore through the fog of Twilight's minds and forcefully dragged her along the way in the maze of her thoughts, through the only path the walls within her allowed. "You are here to give yourself to me. You are here to relinquish your role as Princess and ruler, and be mine. That is what you wish." And Twilight followed, ensnared by his words, merely relieved she could finally find a path out of her confusion.

Shining continued. "You are unfit to rule. That is evident, and it has always been. You are not a ruler, Twilight Sparkle. You never were, and you never will be. It is only natural for you to choose to follow and obey someone who is. Someone like me." His cock flexed, drawing Twilight's gaze and keeping it. "You have always desired submission. I have seen the way you crave sexual domination, and the way that book fuels your lurid fantasies to the point of keeping your attention through the days. Deep down you're a slut, who cares about being fucked much more than she cares about the well being of her subjects. You could never rule in that state, and you never should be allowed to." There was anger in his voice, and his breath was growing hot as his muscles flexed.

He spoke again. "You are weak. Mentally, and physically, you're inferior. You could never rule. You could never withstand the weight of the crown." His lips shifted to a cruel smile. "That is why you must cast it away. That is why you must surrender yourself to me, wholly and utterly. It's what is right, and it's what you want. Admit your inferiority, and your desires, and concede your being to me completely. I'm not sure you can comprehend the magnitude of the submission you are to undertake, but I can assure you it is what you must do, and what shall bring you happiness." He brought a hand to the Element of Magic and made it skew the other way with a touch. "This crown still belongs to you. Cast it away, and all it represents with it. Make it mine, as your friends have done with their Elements. Make yourself mine. We shall not rule as equals, but I your King and you my concubine."

Twilight shuddered in pleasure at those last few words. How could she do anything but accept? When every secret fantasy and perverse desire she'd immersed herself in was suddenly shown to her as a tangible possibility, how could she ever choose not to go through with it? Shining was everything she had dreamed of. She could have that deep, true submission she'd come to crave, and along with it she would be doing the right thing too. It did not matter that she knew, logically, that what he was proposing was wrong. It did not matter that the excitement she had felt reading the book had come from the knowledge that those acts were forbidden and immoral. Nothing mattered to her, and that knowledge that should have stilled her actions and thoughts washed over her harmlessly, bouncing against the brilliant glow that filled her mind and guided her.

"Yes." She whispered the word, as if all her energy had already been drained from her. "Yes," she repeated, louder, to make sure Shining would hear her. She wanted it. She wanted it in so many ways. She wanted to love her brother and Cadance and finally be intimate with those she trusted most. She wanted to be free from the burden of being royalty. She wanted to set a good example and make Equestria a better place. She wanted a King to dominate and fuck her hard. It all came together so perfectly. It was like a dream. "Yes."

Shining smiled even wider, breathing deeply as the remaining mares ceaselessly pleasured him and each other and themselves. "Do you believe you deserve this yet? Do you believe you have earned your new role as my plaything and property?" He took the Element of Magic from his head and held it in his hand. "For one as yourself, submitting is a reward, and even more so submitting to me. I am the greatest King and ruler you could find. I can give you pleasure more than anyone else could. Your life under me will be the greatest existence you could ever wish for, and I alone can make it your reality. Endless, incomparable pleasure, the kind only I can give, as you're forever freed from all worry. So I ask you again. Are you deserving of partaking in servitude? Are you deserving of your liberation?"

Twilight's eyes unfocused and focused repeatedly, the closest alternative to darting around when they were glued to Shining's cock. "I..." Her heart was beating faster and faster and her thoughts were too messy for her to catch and hold on to any one of them. "I..." She swallowed as the answer became clear, and slowly she bent down low, pressing her face against the floor. "I do not know. It is not my place to judge, or to decide. Please. It is all I could ever wish for."

Shining laughed at the sight, and his cock throbbed. "Already you forsake your ability to choose and place yourself in someone else's hands. Utterly incapable of thinking and deciding for yourself. But I suppose at least in this you are correct. It is my place to decide whether you are worthy of me or not, and mine alone." He leaned back into Cadance, and feigned a thoughtful expression. "So, I suppose I should examine your case.

"It is true that you should belong to me. As an alicorn, and as my sister, it's in your destiny to be mine. It is also true that I would be doing ponykind a service in taking over your duties, freeing them from your incompetence in favour of my greatness. Moreover, I do intend to feast on your energy as I have with my first bride, as it is only right for me to do so. However." He let the Element of Magic fall to the floor and roll a little towards Twilight. "You have committed a great deal of mistakes in my time here, and that cannot go unacknowledged. You have wasted my time. You have forced me to partake in a facade to hide my greatness, and even caused me to go without Cadance's continued nourishment for hours at a time. You have required me to construct lies and schemes so your weak and troubled mind could be shown the truth in a way it could understand. For all this you must apologise, and for all this you must be punished."

Twilight, still prostrated on the ground, shook with every word as if it was a blow against her body. Shining's voice shone with blinding truth within her mind, stomping anything else as it imposed itself upon her. It was like standing before a divine revelation, his every word unveiling new truths that she had never known yet were evident and perfect. "Yes! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry my King! I am unworthy, I have failed to submit as I should have, I have wasted your precious time! I apologise! I submit! Punish me. Punish me as you most see fit, I beg you. There is nothing else I can do but this. I offer myself to you." She pressed herself even harder into the floor, tits mashed against the crystal, stiff nipples burning with need as her sex ached.

Shining growled in pleasure at her display. "At least you know your place well. Raise your ass, slut, and keep your head low where it belongs. I won't allow you to even look at me until I think you've atoned!"

Twilight did as she was told, desperate for what he promised, desperate to become his. Scorching pleasure and lust coursed through her veins, dictating her every action and overriding her every thought. Keeping her face against the floor, eyes closed for fear of even accidentally looking at Shining when she was not allowed, she slowly straightened her legs until her ass was up in the air, with her tail to the side to fully expose her throbbing, leaking marehood. Her back hurt, but she endured the pain. She deserved her punishment, and craved the reward at the end of it.

Shining spoke loud above the moans of the mares around him. "State what you truly are, and the sins you've committed." His horn shone bright, lighting the room even more as the pink of his magic mixed with the blue of the crystal's glow.

Twilight felt her nethers burning as she was commanded to expose herself, but she did not hesitate. "I'm a slut, a weak willed pathetic bitch unfit to rule, who cares about her brother's cock more than she cares about her subjects." At that moment, Shining's magic struck her behind like a whip, leaving a stinging mark that quickly turned red where it had hit her. Twilight screamed in pleasure and pain, and her pussy clenched.

Still, she continued on. "I'm a horny, desperate girl who wants to be abused and dominated and cums to the thought of being degraded and controlled." Another blow to her asscheeks. Twilight's mind fogged and her breath spilled heavy and hot from her throat. "I'm a worthless mare whose only purpose is to serve her King's every whim." Another strike. She did not even know where she was finding the words as they emerged from the buzzing chaos swirling around her thoughts, and yet they felt so right and perfect on her tongue she couldn't help but keep going.

"I was stupid and blind, and I wasted my King's time." Another hit. Tears of pleasure gathered at the corners of Twilight's closed eyes. "I refused to submit to him right away." Another. Her pussy leaked. "I wasted his time and forced him away from his deserved pleasure." Another blow. Twilight moaned and shook all over. "I acted like I was above my needs." Another. "I tricked others into thinking I was anything other than a desperate slut!" Another one. "I lied to myself about my true wants and my true purpose." One more. Twilight was screaming. "I accepted and upheld a world without my King at the top of everything, where he belongs!"

Again, and again, and again. Blow after blow, strike after strike, Shining's magic lashed out, leaving Twilight's ass a criss-cross of heated red lines pulsing with pain and her thighs drenched in her juices. Her face was a mess of tears and drool and sweat and still she pressed it hard into the floor, knowing that was her place, knowing she deserved to be low and degraded, nothing but property for her King to walk over if he so chose. Her whole body hurt from the punishment and the strain, and yet she was heated with pleasure like never before at finally experiencing submission like she'd come to crave.

Shining spoke again and he blazed clear through the maelstrom of her emotions. "You have not been punished enough. No punishment I could give you would be enough to pay for your failings! You have failed as a pony, you have failed as a Princess, and you have failed as a sibling. You have come crawling to me conscious it's all you can do, and again you have failed as already you have declared yourself mine without my permission. I have hurt you, and yet the pleasure a masochistic bitch like you derives from my hurtful touch far outweighs the pain I can inflict. No amount of punishment could ever be enough when you would only rejoice perversely at being subject to my will!

"But I am a merciful God, to all those beneath me who know their place. I will show mercy to you, and to all those I will free from you as I take you into my harem. None shall ever need to depend on a pathetic, weak pony like you, who would betray them at the first chance of submitting to me. You will never think for yourself again, and you'll never make new mistakes! You shall be an extension of my will, as is right for you to be." His voice boomed in the room and in Twilight's mind. "Rise and look to me, and make the submission of all you were absolute!"

Twilight was a wound-up string, getting tighter and tighter with every word Shining said as she realised where he was heading, and at his final command her back snapped up and her knees gave out and her eyes shot open and she screamed, cunt gushing beneath her, kneeling as she took in the sight of Shining's magnificence. She tried to say yes, but all that came out were incoherent little moans. Her thoughts were scattered as hooks of blazing lust dug deep into her and dragged her forward. Shining looked to her with lust for what she was to be and disdain for how worthless and pathetic she was, and spat on her, and Twilight felt her skin burn where his spit landed and her mind go blank at the humiliation.

Moving on all fours, breathing deeply like drunk on the smell of sex within the room, Twilight crawled forward towards Shining. She had eyes only for his beautiful, massive, throbbing, leaking cock, and ears only for the deep sound of his powerful beating heart. She stopped halfway there, though, as her hand hit something. Unwillingly, she looked down. Her crown lay on the floor, discarded, sullied with sweat and other fluids.

But it wasn't her crown. It couldn't be her crown. She did not deserve to rule over anything. It had to be Shining's, then. Twilight smiled as she took the Element of Magic in her hands. She looked to Shining's cock again, already decorated with the other five Elements. Of course. It made such perfect sense.

She shuffled forward on her knees until she was close enough, until the musk of Shining's cock hit her nose like a hammer and made her mind go white and her mouth spread as she drooled. There, swaying with dizziness, she held the Element forward, upside down. She rested it at the base of Shining's cock, with the gem between his balls and the arms of the tiara reaching around them. The gold metal shifted, reshaping itself to fit its new purpose and place.

Twilight let go of the Element and leaned back. The purple gem of her cutie mark rested cradled over Shining's balls, framed by gold that had shaped itself to lean into them. A band of gold wrapped around the base of his sack, and another around the base of his cock. Twilight admired all six golden rings and gems upon his shaft, at equal distances from each other. The perfect image of his new order over the old one she'd foolishly upheld. She stared up past his cock, finally into his perfect eyes. She spoke barely audibly, enraptured by the beauty of her King. "I'm ready."

Shining grinned, cruelly, lustfully, mad with power, and his magic reached out to her. It touched her horn. Twilight moaned deeply as she felt herself being drawn to him, as if leaving herself behind.

And in that moment, that instant of separation, the veil cast over Twilight's mind fell, and the lens placed over her thoughts cracked. In that one moment she saw everything as it truly was.

She saw the magical filters her mind had been drenched in, the buzzing blue light drowning her reason and choking her thoughts. She saw the way she had been forced to see things differently, the way her own emotions had been twisted and a path had been traced for her as walls were built up to prevent her from even thinking anything else. She saw her confusion over the previous days as the artificial, magically enforced state it had been, and her new thoughts as something alien to who she truly was. She saw the hollow, manufactured ecstasy within her friends' eyes, and the horrifying, twisted nature of the situation her brother had built, drenched in lust and devoid of morals.

And then the moment was over, and Shining Armor's mind slammed into hers before she could do anything else.

Twilight's senses exploded with an overload of information both alien and familiar. Memories at a far faster rate than it should have been possible for her to experience rammed their way into her, overriding her own. She saw all her moments with Shining from his perspective, warped by his own mind until they were all but incompatible with her own way of thinking on a basic level. And then new memories, memories that were only his, and memories of her friends and Cadance from their own minds too.

Twilight's personality and being was torn, penetrated, melded to other far stranger and wilder things reconstructing her mind in accordance to laws unlike those her life had been lived by. And then she was pulled deeper still, in spaces she could not conceive, in a darkness and fire she couldn't make sense of. Deep, deep into Shining's own mind, into the impossible geometries of the temple of his own ego.

She could not possibly understand what was all around her. It came to her as strange lights and twisted landscapes that bent logic and physics, colours her eyes could not see and sounds she could not hear. It came to her as the incomprehensible, a sea of information irreconcilable with her being, with too much power behind it for her to do anything but succumb to it.

And so she did. Dragged along spiralling corridors of thought, battered by winds of knowledge she could not grasp, winding through the nonsensical halls of a mind that was beyond her own. A mind that had transcended her own. Yes. Within the chaos, at the heart of it, she found undeniable truth. What she was in was the home of a being greater than her own, greater than she could ever possibly hope to be. Within it all was Shining Armor, his superiority unquestionable, his lordship absolute. He withstood and he ruled over the storm, and he was the storm. Shining Armor was a King, a God, a flawless being blessed with a vision of truth so perfect she could not even partake in it. All she could do before his superiority was submit, as all should.

And so she would.

Twilight opened her eyes again. She was herself. Her true, new self; the self she had always been meant to be and had instead been too blind and stupid to know. The self it was right for her to be. And it felt good. It was pleasure beyond compare.

Twilight moaned. She was on her back atop the bed, her legs bent up with her knees pressing into her shoulders. And she was being filled. Stars, she was being filled. Her eyes focused and all she could see was the blur of Shining's mane and eyes as he thrust into her, and the blinding glow of the ethereal link between their horns, and the subtly visible image of the glowing hearts within her own eyes.

Shining siphoned more of her power, and Twilight felt good. To have herself drained, to have her magical reservoirs plundered, it was a form of submission and defilement deeper than anything she'd ever dreamed of. Every drop of energy forcefully ripped from her was a hit of pleasure, a star exploding in her mind, the combination of the humiliation at what she was suffering and the actual physical response her body had been instructed to give out making her pant and shudder and lose herself.

Shining thrust into her at a brutal pace. His hips slammed into her own over and over, reddening her flesh, coating her legs and thighs and ass with her juices as she gushed from her sex like a broken faucet. His cock was massive, thick, long, and with every movement she felt the gems upon the rings wrapped around it running over her insides, and the cold metal of the ring around the base hitting her clit. He used her like a toy, her whole body pinned down under his strength, bent unnaturally for the sole purpose of him fucking her. Of him breeding her like an animal.

Her wings were pressed between the bed and her back. Her horn was completely subject to the siphoning spell feeding ceaselessly off of her. Her limbs were trapped, arms pinned beneath her legs and legs held down by Shining's muscled arms. Her mind was useless, constantly bombarded by explosions of ecstasy as Shining used her for his own pleasure and made her body quake with pleasure of its own. Her sex gushed, her lips drooled, and her eyes danced directionless and uncoordinated in their sockets.

All she could hear were her own moans and the sounds of Shining fucking her, louder than any thoughts she may have had. All she could smell was the scent of sex, the musk of Shining virility and the smell of her own submission and pleasure. All she could think, in fragmented half thoughts between white hot sparks of bliss, was pleasure and submission and sex. She could not say any words, but only moan. The pleasure was overwhelming, all consuming, and Twilight willed herself to drown in it.

Shining's motions grew faster. His balls and the crystal placed onto them slapped against her ass with every thrust. Twilight knew what that meant, as it was her duty to know such a thing as her King's devoted slut and slave. Her heart beat so fast it felt like it wouldn't be able to keep up with its own pace and her whole body shook with anticipation and excitement. Her King would breed her. She would bear him a child, an heir to her own role, a future bride. It was her highest honour and duty besides obeying his will and tending to his pleasure. It was her happiness above all else.

From somewhere beyond the core of Twilight's world, the point of pure pleasure that were her and Shining's bodies entwined, and within the sphere of sex and submission around them, where Shining's other slaves writhed in bliss, Cadance's magic reached out. It reached deep within Twilight, around Shining's cock and deeper still, to the core of her purpose as his bride. It reached, Twilight knew without knowing, to ensure she would give their King a child, and to ensure it would be a daughter.

Shining came. It was a flow of hot, thick, heavy seed, pouring within Twilight and igniting her nerves with searing ecstasy wherever it touched. Twilight came, mind empty, body quaking and marehood spasming around her King's shaft, as still Shining shot load after load of his essence within her. She came and she screamed and she was his, and that was all she knew as she felt consciousness leave her again.

Slaves and King

The crystal castle at the centre of Ponyville glowed bright of its own light even as the Sun shone up in the sky, radiating the mental magic that coursed within it through the whole town. Ponies in the streets went about their days as if all was as it should have been, not bothered in the least by what they knew of what was happening within the castle's walls and by what they heard from those they saw walking in and out of its doors.

Big Mac, in particular, was heading for those doors, carrying along a cart full of food and other necessities for Ponyville's King. Certainly the King could not be expected to worry about something like that himself, busy as he was, and neither could all the mares he had claimed as his own. They had the far more important task of attending to the King's pleasure, and Big Mac was proud of his sister for being among them, and more than happy to be contributing himself in some way, both with supplies and with housing Spike.

Within the castle itself, things had changed slightly in the past weeks. The main pervasive change was the constant blue glow the walls gave off, lighting the inside of the building with daylight clarity at all times. The map room, technically the previous throne room, had undergone the most changes. The roots of the tree above had been stripped of their reminders of Twilight's old, worthless life, and were slowly being decorated with effigies of her King's magnificence and control over his slaves, while crystal slowly encroached upon them. The map itself had been left intact, begrudgingly, for its utility. But the thrones around it had been bent and fused together into a single, far larger one standing tall above the table, so that Shining could sit comfortably on it and rest his hooves atop the projected image of Equestria as he did. That had pleased him indeed.

He sat there, naked, with the Elements still decorating his cock. To one side of his shaft, Cadance leaned in and licked along the length, one hand on her swollen belly. Her due date was approaching, if still not too close yet. To the other side, Twilight leaned towards his balls, licking them with passion and devotion as befitting her new role. Her pregnancy did not show yet, but it had been confirmed. Both alicorns had their horns connected to their King's, feeding him power as was right of them to do, and both wore golden collars with gilded chains tying them to the Element of Magic at the base of his cock.

Twilight herself had undergone perhaps even more changes than the castle she had once foolishly called her own. With Shining's knowledge on the matter, her body had been remodeled as she'd always craved and as her King approved of. Her breasts had been made fat and heavy, perhaps even more than Cadance's naturally were. Her ass too had grown, made bubbly and shapely and large. She looked every bit as sexualised as a fucktoy like her was expected to be, and she loved everything of it, including her newly pierced nipples.

She had not been the only one to undergo such changes. Rarity had begged at Shining's hooves for the same treatment, and had been granted something not too far from it. Starlight's breasts and ass had been made a little bigger too. Rainbow still refused to even consider it, and Shining had not yet decided if his desire to break her will outweighed his enjoyment for variety. Applejack, perhaps strangely, had had her own already impressive ass made just a bit more rounded. But the mare did seem to have a predilection for ponies' behinds, given how often she lavished Shining's firm and muscled ass with her tongue.

Shining had been far more liberal in remodelling those mares that were not prized as a part of his harem, but merely concubines he had every right to make his own. Lily, Rose, and Daisy standing behind his throne and fanning him with leaves as they adorned his head with flowers, Aloe and Lotus oiling his skin and massaging his muscles, and Lyra and Bon Bon respectively entertaining him with music and songs of praise and feeding him candy; all of them had had their proportions adjusted, fat tits and asses he could easily enjoy on otherwise unimportant fucktoys like them. The same went for Trixie, standing still near a wall as the room's clothing rack. Of course, the only kind of would-be clothing his slaves could have were sex toys, resulting in all her holes being full and her nipples clamped. She did not move, staying still just as she'd been commanded to, even as the toys buzzed within her. All had been impregnated with his seed, of course, but that was merely the way things were meant to be.

The remaining Elements besides Twilight, those she'd once called friends, were on the floor around the new throne, all looking up at Shining with dreamy expressions and either masturbating or fucking each other. They too were all pregnant, having received him before he'd even claimed Twilight herself. He made regular use of them whenever he wished to, as was his right and his main form of entertainment. They were not as good a fuck as an alicorn, but he still rather enjoyed them. He was planning to take them back to the Empire when he returned, not too far in the future. They were to never leave his side again. Starlight, too, as she would love to reunite with Sunny.

He looked them over briefly. Applejack had Rainbow Dash pinned to the ground, forcing her to lap Shining's cum out of her pussy while she herself played roughly with her own tits, something Rainbow did eagerly. Pinkie Pie was fingering herself as she tried to sneak towards the bowl of sweets Bon Bon kept by the throne, and Shining thought he would enjoy punishing her for trying to take what was his. Fluttershy was on her knees just past the edge of the map, staring at her King with a mindlessly blissful expression as she breathed slowly and deeply, with her hands over her huge tits absentmindedly pinching and twisting her nipples. Shining would get another titfuck out of her later, and many more in the future, as even after he'd changed the others she still had the biggest tits out of his slaves. Rarity lay on her side, trying to maintain an air of dignified superiority even as she stretched her ass with a large, smooth crystal dildo. She intended to be the first of them besides Twilight to manage to take him from behind and was training for it, though Shining knew Fluttershy would have her beat there.

Lastly, his gaze fell to Starlight, sleeping on the floor at the edge of the map, just to Fluttershy's side. Suddenly she stirred, and Shining's cock throbbed. She rose to her knees, blinking to reveal the glowing hearts within her eyes, and bowed before speaking. "It has been done, my King. Your plan has succeeded, as it was bound to."

Shining's face broke into a cruel, utterly pleased grin, and his shaft throbbed and leaked. He took hold of his sister by her horn and planted her face before his tip, then shoved his length whole within her tight yet unresisting throat. His horn flared, drawing more power from Cadance and Twilight as his muscles flexed and he started to jerk himself off with Twilight's head. The castle's glow pulsed, making all its female inhabitants grow dizzy for a moment, and all those outside blink once, as the spell thrummed in tandem with his desire for control.

Cadance leaned down, turned onto her back, and began to kiss Shining's balls. "Shall we need to prepare a new facade to trick her, my King?" she asked between kisses, inhaling his musk deeply and letting her mind fog as she felt her body grow weak from his drain.

Shining chuckled, feeling Twilight's throat give way fully as the lack of proper breathing made the alicorn go limp, only half conscious. "No," he said with confidence. "Let Luna see me in all my glory and witness my power, if she chooses to come. Let her be crushed and forced to kneel before me. I do not need to hide anymore now that none can stop me." With his own magic he forced Cadance to gobble his balls, delighted by the sputtering sounds she made as she struggled to fit them in her mouth and choked on their sheer size. "Not that there will be a need for it. That fool will be broken before she even steps within my castle." He hilted into Twilight's mouth, her chin pressed to the gem that had once been hers, and he came hard, the sound of his throbbing cock filling her drowned out by the moans of all the mares around him at his words. His horn pulsed bright and all his slaves around him shuddered and came, compelled to bend and climax under his control.

One more alicorn would soon be his, and then only one more would be left before all of Equestria bowed to its rightful King.
