Seed of the King

As the mare Shining Armor paced slow circles around him, the glint in her eyes was all amusement, sizing him up as if he were some sort of prize. Hovering bounded in the void, was held tight by restraints that allowed for little leeway at all, Shining Armor could only glare back at her, his muscles tensed under the weight of his captivity. He was loyal to Cadance, but Lightning Bolt's twisted hold on her made that loyalty feel like a far-off painful echo.

"My, you are a hunk of a stallion!" she smiled, the faintest tease in her tone as she leaned in close and let her eyes rake over his form.

Shining Armor furrowed his brow, trying to keep his cool. "You don't scare me," he said calmly with a hint of frustration in his voice. "I don't know what Lightning's done to Cadance, but I will protect her, no matter what it takes."

The mare Shining chuckled, circling him again. "So noble," she murmured, feigning admiration. "It's almost… charming. But tell me, how far does that loyalty really go?" She cocked her head, her eyes keen, as if gauging the depth of his determination. "Besides, it is by far too late for her already. He already broke her, she is his slave Shiny"

Hanging there, suspended in that dark, open void, Shining Armor's mind was racing. "N-no. every corruption can be undone." he stammered

The mare Shining Armor laughed loudly around them, the sound echoing off the emptiness of the void. She stopped her pacing to meet his gaze, her eyes glinting with a dark amusement.

"Lightning is a very special Umbrum," she purred. "Unlike his dad, once Lightning corrupts a pony, their cutie mark changes and they belong to him forever, bounded to him. There's no counterspell old or newfound, no artifact, no curse can overpower it, not even potions that can undo it, even future potions. There's no salvation once he breaks you. They exist solely to serve his every command."

With the words the mare spoke, Shining Armor's heart was hammering against his chest. Cadance was his first and only love, and now she was… taken. Twisted by Lightning's magic. He refused to believe that she was beyond saving, no matter what this twisted version of himself claimed. He locked his eyes on her, defiance burning in his gaze.

Slowly, the mare Shining Armor paced around, her eyes shining with mirth, sizing him up as if he were somehow a great prize. Bound in place by restraints that held him firm, hovering in the void, there was little Shining Armor could do but glare back at her, tension strained in his muscles from his captivity. He was loyal to Cadance, but the twisted grip that had taken Lightning Bolt over made that loyalty feel like some sort of painful echo.

"You're lying," he forced out, his voice sharper than he felt. "There's always a way—a weakness, a spell—something that can break his control. Cadance will be free."

Shining Armor raised an eyebrow, looking highly amused. "Oh, you really think that little band of heroes is going to save her? Your precious sister, the other Mane Six, they're already on their way to the Crystal Empire, but they don't realize they're walking right into Lightning's trap. One by one, he'll make them his, just like he did with your Cadance.".

A flicker of panic raced through Shining Armor. If the Mane 6 were headed for the Crystal Empire, they were in terrible danger. Each of them was powerful in her own right, but against Lightning’s dark abilities? He couldn’t let them fall, too.

“Then they’ll know what to expect,” Shining Armor spat back. “And I’ll find a way to reach them, even if it’s from here.”

The mare’s laughter was low and taunting. “Good luck with that, hero. You’re in Lightning’s world now. The Crystal Empire and everypony in it belongs to him.”

Shining Armor's eyes blazed with determination welling up inside him. "You might think that you have won," he whispered, "but while I have breath, I will fight to bring her back. And I'll stop him before he ever lays a hoof on my friends. And if he touches my little sister, he's dead!"

She gives him no attention whatsoever, "Now lets see what's packing?" She said as she unsheathes Shining's length.

Shining eyes widen as his mare self whipped his length out "Hey! Hey! I did not consent!"

The mare looks at him holding his length in her hoof, "Does it look like I care?" as she start deepthroating him.

The mare's mouth closed around his girth, her teeth grazing against his sensitive flesh as she began to bob her head up and down, her eyes never leaving his. Shining Armor's body responded involuntarily to the sensation as his stallionhood swelled and his breath started to come in ragged gasps. Despite outrage so strong, physical pleasure was impossible to deny. He struggled against the bonds, fighting to keep his dignity, but the sensations became too strong. The void surrounding them seemed to pulse with a rhythm of her movements-heaving as if the very fabric of reality jeered on his plight. Her eyes shone with malicious delight as she savored his discomfort and arousal alike. Her tongue danced around his length while her throat muscles constricted and released, pulling him deeper, testing the limits of his endurance. It was a very quiet space, save for the wet slurping of her servicing him, the periodical gag, and his frantic gasps for air. What this was, was far from victory as promised, but some cruel, twisted game to break his spirit. Still, she continued unabated, as if to prove she didn't just have control over his body, but over his essence.

"No. gotta resist, for Caddy," He could only stammer out. The mare's eyes went wide in surprise with the sudden resistance, her grip on his member tightening.

Shining Armor's smirk grew at the feel of his resistance.

She pulled back, her teeth scraping his tip, a warning. "You think you can resist me?" she whispered, her hot breath fanning across his wet sensitive flesh. "You're already in my head, and soon I will be inside your head. You will long for this, to serve me, to feel my power over you." With a wicked laugh, she descended again, her mouth covering his length once more.

Shining Armor's mind reeled as he felt himself give in to the pleasure. He had to fight it for Cadance's sake, for his own. Calling upon every last shred of willpower, he centered his thoughts on his sister: her smile warm, her touch gentle, the love they shared. The picture grew in intensity, fighting back the dark tide of desire that would consume him. His body went taut, tugging at the binds to get free; the need to be free was more than mere physical.

He really couldn't bear anymore as his will slowly shatters.

It was a roar of defiance to ring out across the void as Shining Armor struggled harder than ever before. His eyes rolled back in his head, and his body quivered against the restraints. The mare looked up, her mirth slowly fading into something akin to fascination as she watched the transformation take hold. What had once been a body taut with resistance began to slowly give way to the pleasure she offered, his breathing ragged with each passing moment. The fight seeped out of his gaze and in its place grew a burning, desperate need. His hips bucked slightly, pushing into her mouth, his body betraying his urges where his mind screamed for control. "C-Cadance," he choked out, his voice a desperate whisper.

The mare grinned around his girth as she felt his resistance crumble. She pulled out and starts stoking him with her magic, her eyes locked onto his, watching as the last vestiges of his willpower disappeared. "Yes," she murmured, her voice a seductive purr. "Feel it, Shiny. Give in to me."

And with that, the dam broke. Shining Armor's eyes clouded with a mixture of ecstasy and despair as he detonated into a self-destructive lust. His body moved to her every touch, every caress, every suck and lick, belonging to her it seemed. He was not struggling anymore; he was lost in the sensations, a puppet at her whims. Only the feeling of an overwhelming want for more, for the release that she alone could give him, remained. The air around them dimmed, heavy with the musk of his arousal and the despairing whimpers filled the air. He was hers now, a plaything to amuse her. And as she felt him reach his climax, she knew he wasn't going to be himself anytime soon.

"Such a weak willpower for a captain like you. you really nearly broke from that?" she said, laughing at him. "Pathetic."

As the mare's mouth worked its dark magic on him, Shining Armor's mind slipped, and in a moment of delirium, he gasped out, "G-Gleaming." A mistake, a slip of the tongue, but her eyes lit up with glee. She drew back, a stream of saliva binding them, and smiled, repeating, "Gleaming Shield". The words seemed to play in her mouth as if savoring their taste. "I like that. It is so.... charming." And she laughed low and throaty, a spark of devilry dancing in her eyes. "Henceforth, I am to be called Gleaming Shield, she who made mighty Shining Armor buckle at her knees." The hiss of her new name seemed to hum in harmony with the vacuum of space itself, the reverberation teasing him as she went back to her tireless ministrations. His body, fully under her command now, reacted with alacrity to the sound of her voice, her touch, her presence. And the darkness in him grew greater still, the thoughts of Cadance and rebellion now but a distant memory. Gleaming Shield had claimed her victory, and Shining Armor would never be free from her whims anymore, the two bound together for all eternity.

At but a flick of her horn, Gleaming readjusted the restraints around Shining Armor, laying him out flat upon his back. He was in a daze as she settled over his pounding stallionhood, his body reacting instinctively to her hovering above him. He felt the heat of her, the wetness of her core, and despite the horror of his situation found himself wanting for her. She smirked, sensing his defeat, and settled herself down onto him. His eyes shot wide as she took him in, her inner walls clamping down around him, pulling him deeper inside. A moan of pleasure escaped her lips as she began to ride him, hips moving with a rhythm that sent waves of sensation crashing through him. The void was alive with the sound of her wetness, her hooves striking against the invisible floor as she set an unrelenting pace. He was nothing but a vessel for her pleasure now, his own desires a mere afterthought. Gleaming Shield leaned forward, her chest pressed against his, the heat of her breath upon his face as she whispered, "Now, my pet, show me how much you've learned to enjoy your new role."

As Gleaming's hips rocked against him, Shining Armor could feel the inevitable climax approaching. The battle for his will was lost, and now his body was claiming its victory. In one last, desperate groan, he let himself go to the pleasure, his hips bucking up to meet hers as he came. The warmth of his climax filled her, and she threw her head back, reveling in the power she had over him. His eyes rolled back, and for one brief, shuddering moment, he was lost to sensation. When the waves of pleasure finally subsided, he looked up at her, defeat etched into every line of his face. "Cadance." he whispered, the last shred of his old self slipping away as he succumbed to the pleasure from Gleaming Shield.
