Chapter Four : Part-3 : 'Self Discovery', Discussion at Breakfast, and Our First Stop
By : The Eternal Star

It's been more than three days since my family and I got aboard an airship with our belongings to our destination, the Town of Alavis. The journey so far has been uneventful yet relaxing since it's felt nice and relieving not having always to be careful when and where I was walking so that my family wouldn't spot me.

During these three days, I had grown accustomed to living inside this huge airship. If anything, I was starting to get fond of it as it had everything I needed in a home and more ranging from a comfortable bedroom, luxurious bathroom, a well-designed kitchen, and dining room, to a library stacked with bookshelves full of books that I spend most of my time in to read books.

For the past three days, I've also contemplating whether or not this airship would be a good choice for our new home judging by how big, spacious, mobile, and defensible the airship was. It would fit our current need for a home that wasn't easy to track by imperial ministries agents if they were to discover a report about me earlier than expected.

I mean, it would be hard for them to track my location if I was always on the move and didn't linger in one place for too long, very unlike if my family and I were to instead just live in a house located in a remote town. I still haven't discussed this possibility with them though, so I suppose I would attend their breakfast at six to have this discussion.

Anyway, I was sleeping on my bed peacefully laying on my side while my head was resting comfortably upon a white pillow, a violet blanket covering my body from back hooves up to my neck. I woke up and I yawned softly with my eyes still closed.

I then slowly opened my eyes and let them adjust to the room's lighting for several seconds, before I got myself to sit up and gently rubbed my itchy eyes with my hooves. After that, I let myself be immersed in the change of illusion in the room from what it was like last night.

Instead of the moon rising slowly from the east as the sun began to set in the west, casting darkness upon the land it had passed with sparkling stars that could start to be seen. This time it was the exact opposite as the moon gave way for the sun to rise slowly from the eastern horizon, changing the time from night to dawn as the dark blue night sky began to change color to twilight.

By this point, the star could no longer be seen as its spark was overshined by the warm radiance of the sun as it started to cast its light upon the darkened land. The ceiling impressively began to show a small shadow in the shape of a bird as it flew from one side to another, showing an illusion of a flock of birds beginning its day by searching for food.

On the walls, the illusion of trees and small plants began to show as it was illuminated by the light of the sun, casting long shadows behind them exactly how they looked as if they were real. The leaves of the trees and plants moved slightly as if they were dancing, even though I knew that it was just to give an illusion of the morning breeze sweeping the land.

The illusion in the room created by the enchanted crystals that covered the whole room certainly is remarkable and definitely was the result of high-type illusion spells, it would be interesting to see how high the type was and how long it would most likely for me to reach that far, for it would be a useful adversary to have.

After letting myself be immersed in the illusion of the room, I quickly use my magic to begin folding the blanket while I get myself out of bed and stand on the floor with all of my four hooves, the floor had an illusion of green grasses but, when my hooves touched it, I would just feel hard crystal floor.

When I was done folding the blanket, I glanced up at the clock above the door of the room and it read forty minutes after four, a bit later than yesterday but I wouldn't have any effect on my plan this morning. I then turned to my right and began making my way toward the grey door of the bathroom.

I opened the door by cranking its handle down and pushing it forward, revealing the luxurious bathroom that still curves up a smile of amazement on my face whenever I see it. The walls, floor, and even the ceiling are covered with translucent violet crystal tile, that illuminates the room with starry violet purple light, just bright enough for your eyes to have a relaxed and comfortable vision.

The bathroom size is quite large as it's almost as big as the bedroom, only maybe about a meter and a half shorter in length and width, while the height stayed the same. On the left corner of the wall facing me, is a quite sizeable bathtub with about two meters in length, a three-fifth meter in height, and one meter in width, probably designed to accommodate more than one pony inside.

The bathtub is made of the same translucent violet crystal, only this time it's like looking at a mirror since I can see the reflection of its surroundings from it. It had two tap water and two levers on the left tip, one of the tap water was red and the other one was blue.

I have tested the tap water and the lever previously, the red water tap let out hot water while the blue one is the opposite. The lever on the left of the red water tap is to control how hot the water is poured out, while the lever on the right of the blue one manages how cold the water is.

In the middle of the wall facing me, are two triple hangers with each of them holding three towels which are red, blue, or lime. In between the two towel hangars, is a huge double-door locker made of the same translucent violet crystal with it also reflecting its surroundings and emanating the same soft light.

If I were to suggest the size of it, I would say it's somewhere between two and two and a half meters in length, about half a meter in width, and most likely two meters tall as its height almost touched the ceiling.

The difference is that the double door is made of transparent crystal which allowed me to see several stacks of racks inside the locker, filled with various kinds of body cleaning products ranging from mane shampoos, body wash, and even bottles of oils made specifically to clean wing feathers.

On the right corner of the wall facing me, is a shower room encased in transparent violet crystal glass that allowed me to see what was inside it. I must say, it is quite a unique experience to have your body be washed using rainwater because there's exactly a single white cloud shaped like a thick biscuit on top of the inside of the shower room.

The cloud is unmoving as it's wired to the rooftop of it, but the word wired is more like it's part of the shower room since the cloud is embedded unto the rooftop. On the walls of the shower room, there are two buttons the size of a medium biscuit and three levers roughly twice the size.

The button is red and blue when the red one is pressed the cloud will rain hot water, while the blue one makes the cloud do the opposite, the lever in between the two buttons is to manage the flow of the rain with the higher it goes the faster it flows and vice versa.

As you might have guessed, the lever on the left of the red button is to control how hot the rainwater while the lever on the right of the button is to manage how cold it is. From my experience though, the hot water never gets really hot to the point it would boil your skin even at max, nor the cold will get so cold it would cause anypony below it to get hypothermia.

If both buttons are pressed, then the water flowing from the cloud would be a mixed version of the hot and cold water, making it viable if you want a warm shower with a tinge of cold water upon your body. This also depends on the setting of the temperature levers though, so make sure that it stays the same if you want a normal shower.

On the left walls, there's a sizeable horizontal mirror stretching over one meter long and more than half a meter tall, the mirror is quite thick and is made of transparent crystal like the one encasing the shower room, although this one is clear of any color and look like any mirror you would have seen.

The frame of the mirror is unique though, as it was made from the same translucent crystal but it's covered by all kinds of jewelry ranging from sapphire, ruby, emerald, and even topaz. The jewelry is placed on the frame in a diagonal pattern like a snake or half-eight, with each corner of the frame having an Empress Kinersia unique symbol of a violet atom surrounded by magenta stars made of amethyst by the looks of it.

Atop and below the mirror, the remaining three cabinets were made from the same material as the locker, allowing Pony to take a glimpse of what was inside through the transparent door. The cabinets are filled with several racks of various kinds of soaps, oral health products and equipment, face health, and the most unamusing of them all, makeup and perfumes.

Look, don't get me wrong on this but I had never really liked these kinds of products, I had a personal dislike toward personal ponies who oftentimes used makeup to make their face look more 'beauty' alongside perfumes to hide away all the 'unnecessary' and 'problematic' smell of themselves and their surrounding.

I mean it like this, it's okay to use face care- especially if you use it for medical treatment of wounds, irritations, or other pain-inducing face problems. The same applies to perfumes if it's necessary to use it to heal and/or safeguard your respiratory systems, or the smell is so damn bad that it makes your nose weep when it smells it.

The point is, to use makeup, face care, perfumes, and other face adversaries with responsibility. Especially with the former as I see the beauty of a pony on the inside rather than outside, appearance can be changed easily or overlooked, but the matter of the mind? That's a different story, and I don't want to see anypony overuse it to the point they look like a doll.

Anyway, the size of the cabinets below the mirror is twice as big as the ones above it, the ones below are probably about one meter by one meter while the ones above a half by a half meter. In between the lower cabinets, there's a faucet with two water taps and two small levers, one of both is red while the rest are blue.

Aside from those cabinets and faucets, there's also a narrow locker on each side of it made from the same material as the locker on the wall facing me. Through its transparent door, I can see multiple kinds of cleaning equipment and supplies ranging from simple brooms to wall clearer sprays. Other than that, there's nothing noteworthy on the left walls nor was there anything else in there.

Now here comes the right walls, how do I say this? Ah right, it has a brown wood sliding door that leads to a steam room, roughly the same size as the bathroom the last time I checked. I must admit that I had only gone inside it once to get a brief look at the room and determine what kind of room it was before getting out of it, so I didn't manage to see the details of the room.

On each side of the sliding room, there are two vertical transparent violet crystal glasses filled with what I think is this world version of an extinguisher. It's unique as it was in the shape of a one-meter-tall thick spray can, only it was made off ice and somehow was not melting despite its close location from the heat source.

I have never tested how the fire extinguisher worked since there are no fires for me to put out and the last time I tried to use it on the wall, my mother caught me in the act as she took away the fire extinguisher all the while scolding me for trying to use it without reasonable reason or cause.

After that I walked inside the bathroom before closing the door behind me with my wings as I turned around, that's when I noticed that there were two transparent crystal cabinets on each side of the door.

The cabinets had a red cross symbol on the front and after closer inspection, I saw through the transparent glass that it was filled with potions, drugs, and medical equipment designed to deal with light to moderate injuries and illness. Which means these cabinets were medical first-aid boxes.

When I was done inspecting the medical boxes, I turned around and headed toward the huge locker on the wall facing me. I then opened it up and looked over several racks, before pulling out a bottle of bath oil, mane and tail shampoo, a bath brush, alongside a bottle of wings and feathers oil.

I didn't give much thought to the brand since I only cared what it did, so I only gave a small glance at each body cleaning product back to look at the description and what was written about what said body products on my body. Just because I'm now a mare, it doesn't mean I would fully embrace it without contemplating and changing some aspects of it.

The body cleaning products I have taken out of the racks and locker with my magic are the ones I had used since my first time showering inside one of the airship bedrooms; a bottle of bath oil that would smoothen and moisturize my coat while having a bath, a mane and tail shampoo to make both my mane and tail to be more vibrant, clean, and free of any parasite residing inside it.

Last but not least, a bottle of wings and feather oil that I would use to clean every inch of filth and dirt stuck on my wings and feathers, clear it out of any parasite residing inside it, and make my feathers more vibrant and stronger, alongside making the arduous process that is preening much easier.

After I had picked out my choice for body cleaning products, I closed the locker shut then turned left and walked toward the bathtub. After that, I cranked both the red and blue water tubs open, before proceeding to set the red tap lever to be in the middle while the blue one was halfway to it.

I waited a few minutes to let the water fill the bathtub, when the bathtub was half filled I dipped my right hoof into the water to see the temperature of the water. As soon as my hoof touched the water, it was assaulted by a warm sensation, a bit too warm for my liking so I pulled my hoof out and pulled the blue lever just a bit higher.

At the same time, I also brought forward my bath oil bottle I held in my magic before opening it up and pouring its content slowly and evenly across the water, I didn't pour out too much though, as I only spent several seconds pouring before I set the bottle straight and closed it, then place it right behind the water taps.

Another two minutes passed by, and now the bathtub was two-thirds filled with water and I once again dipped my hoof into the water to see how it felt, this time it felt comfortable even when I prolonged my hoof staying in there. I pulled my hoof out of the water and nodded with a smile on my lips as I pulled both levers down and cranked both water taps off.

I then set both the wings and feathers oil alongside mane and tail shampoo behind the levers, before getting myself into the bathtub and letting out a pleasant sigh as I felt the warm water begin enveloping my body, making any tense muscle I didn't realize I have began to loose.

I get myself comfortable inside the bathtub by laying on my back on top of the base of it, my body fully encased in the water with my head the only thing sticking out. I closed my eyes and let out a soothing tune as I let my body relax upon the feeling of pleasant, warm, comfortable water around me and thought.

'Hah, currently nothing beats having a warm bath on a cold morning inside a luxurious airship. Although, now that I think about it, this airship is kinda way too big for my family and me to handle, this must be contemplated more but right now I'm content with just laying comfortably inside this bathtub filled with warm water.'

After several minutes of just staying pleasantly inside the bathtub, I got myself to a sitting position and finally began cleaning my body. Starting with my left forehoof as I pick up the bath brush hanging above me with my magic and begin to gently scrub it side to side, the process is a lot smoother because of the bath oil which makes my coat more slippery.

When I was done with my left forehoof, I did the same to my right forehooves before proceeding to also gently scrub both my backhooves as well, although the latter required me to tilt my body to the side a bit so I could clean its underside. After all my forehooves were done, I set my target upon my chest and began scrubbing the fur on it.

It took me a minute to properly clean it since my chest fur is quite thick, I blame this on my mother since she had a lot of fur on her body. After my chest had been cleaned, I began cleaning my belly which is somewhat... pleasurable is the right word? I mean, the feeling of brush sliding along my smooth, sensitive belly certainly was unique.

With my belly over with, I got myself to begin working on my back, thanks to my magic the bath brush was more than able to scrub my back, finally scratching the itch I felt on my back after waking up, especially after doing a lot of physical activity. I got slightly carried with scrubbing my back and didn't realize that I had spent well over several minutes.

In my defense, it felt relieving to have body parts that are hard to reach by your hooves or wings be cleaned, caressed, and cared for. Anyway, since I was done with my back, I set myself to work on my shoulder and side, the former went on with no issue as once again thanks to bath oil, the process went smoother than how would it have been without it.

When I began to clean my side though, the unknown pleasurable sensation returned as I slid the bath brush along my left belly side and flank over and over again. Each stroke getting more and more intense but before it felt overwhelming, I stopped brushing as I panted slightly with a blush on my face from what I could in the reflection.

"Just what is this good sensation I felt before? I mean, when I was having a shower yesterday and scrubbed my body smoothly by putting bath oil on the brush first, I certainly didn't feel anything like this. It piqued my interest now and I must know the answer, I haven't finished bathing so I can't read books to search for it yet."

I said as I tilted my body to the left so that I could brush my right side and flank, again that pleasant sensation returned and this time it seemed to continue from where I had stopped as I felt the sensation getting more intense by the second. Until with one quick final scrub along my flank back to my belly right side, I let out a moan I didn't realize I was holding.

After that, my body went limp slightly as my breath was ragged yet I felt... unfinished? I placed the bath brush over behind the water taps and levers as I lay on the walls of the bathtub on my back before trying to stabilize my breath, until with a flick of a switch my mind proceeded to what just happened as I said with widened eyes and surprised tone.

"Wait a minute, did I just moan by how intense the sensation is? Now that I think about it," My eyes widened even more as my mouth went agape in shock, "Could it be the sensation I was feeling was pleasure, or more specifically sexual pleasure?"

My mind then wandered to the bath brush I had used before, and my eyes glanced down at my submerged body in the direction where my flank was as piece after piece started to come together and I face hoofed at the realization as I stated, "My gender currently is a mare, and a mare has a sexual organ that stretched longer and deeper into her body."

I brought my hoof down as I let out an unsure sigh before continuing, "Which means it's possible that perhaps my current reproductive organ stretched over from my flank to my body lower and middle body part," I chuckled as a fact suddenly appeared in my mind, "This meant I had unintentionally and unknowingly used the bath brush as a tool to give me sexual relief... does that count as unconventional masturbation by any chance?"

My question is left unanswered and I think it's better that way since I definitely didn't want my family to know about this, I'm pretty sure they are already shocked enough by my ability to speak and act way out of my age, combine that with my parents now having suspicion of what my brother said to me that shocked my mind to the core.

Yeah, it's all starting to wrap up as one giant bomb that I need to be careful and tactful when defusing, as one wrong move could make the bomb get larger or- please Kinersia not to let it happen -explode and the consequence is severe to put it lightly.

"However, this does make me curious as to how does mare orgasm felt and the way it was achieved. I mean, I get the general idea of how but as a certain wise stallion once said, experience matters more than theory so... maybe I should try to masturbate and find myself how it feels to be on the other side of the fence sexually now?"

I said with curiosity and slight nervousness as it was certainly an interesting prospect that I would rather learn sooner than later, I put my right hoof up at my chin and began considering the idea for a minute, before putting it down and nodded as I looked down in between of my flank where my pussy is.

My heart started to beat harder with my eyes blinked ever so slowly in full awareness and nervousness about the idea of masturbating with my new equipment, my lips grimaced as I felt unsure yet I pressed on as my right hoof began to get closer until I realized one thing.

My body was still fully encased with water, a bath oil water, I may not have been a mare for a decade. But I do know that my nether region is a particularly sensitive one and I'm certain that if any of the bath oil entered it accidentally, even a skin-sensitive one, is not a good idea in any way as I stated in slight bewilderment.

"Hmm, what am I even thinking trying to do that while my body is still fully enveloped with water, this is not ordinary water either as it's water mixed with bath oil. I'm not a biologist but I'm certain bath oil and mare equine reproduction's organs don't mix well.

Comparably, it's gonna be harder to explain to my parents why my pussy felt irritated or worse infected than explaining to them why I tried to masturbate. A close call I just avoided, "I looked at my wings behind me and at my manes before gazing behind me at the body cleaning products, "I think I should clean both of these first alongside my tail before I drain the tub and try anything frisky."

After concluding that, I got myself to sit more straight so that my wings would be exposed and above the water, before I grabbed the wings and feathers oil behind me with my magic to open it up, then began pouring the oil over both of my wings evenly, when I was done pouring the oil on both of my wings I poured it over my forehooves as well.

I then began to properly mix the oil in my forehooves while my magic was closing the bottle before putting it behind the levers and water taps once more, I grabbed my right wing with my forehooves and began preening it by first mixing the oils on it first, all the while keeping my left wings steady in my magic as to not accidentally fell into the water.

After I mixed the oil, I began the unique process of using my muzzle as a brush to clean my wings off any small filth, dirt, or parasite it had caught. Sliding my tongue all over my wings from the tip to the wing joints, while pressing on certain spots where dirt often time stuck in there.

After a few minutes, I was done with the wings and began cleaning the feathers by getting rid of any loose feathers, I must say there were quite a lot of them as my feathers were still weak and growing. When there are no more loose feathers, I set my target by getting any out-of-place feathers, flipped, or tangled feathers back to their original position.

Another few minutes were spent, after which I began cleaning my feathers of any parasite that decided to reside in them by crunching and eating them one by one. You may be wondering how any wing parasites stay alive after being drowned for minutes.

Well, a few of them are amphibious since they had adapted from Water and Ice Alicorns which were known for frequent cooling of the inside and outside of their body, and the corpses of the parasites more often than not don't get off on their own you know, and I rather eat it than let it rot which may result in the decay of my wings as well.

Don't worry about the danger presented by eating possibly poisonous parasites, my mother has told me that Alicorn's biology has long since evolved to handle either the unpleasant taste, poisons/toxins or diseases wings and feathers parasites might carry with them.

The body did the former by making the tongue feel a sweet taste when it was eating said parasites, though the mind must know it first so it would activate the unique system. The latter is achieved by the body producing unique immunity cells that would neutralize any toxins/poisons and disease it got from eating bugs or wing and feather parasites.

The wings and feathers oil is also safe to consume even in large quantities, because the true purpose of the oil is to make any hardened or stuck dirt become loose so it would be easy to clean. Alongside making any particularly stubborn parasites weakened and lose their tight grip, making it easier for them to be eaten.

After I was done with clearing my right wing of any parasite, I inspected the wing twice to ensure that I didn't miss anything. When I saw that nothing was missed, I dipped my right wing down into the water and grabbed my left one to begin cleaning it, I could already see some parasites lurking out beneath the fathers as the oil made them have asphyxiation.

My lips went to a frown as I shook my head and questioned with disbelief and an annoyed tone, "How the heck there are that many parasites inside my wings and feathers? Is the bedroom I picked rarely chosen by customers that they didn't bother to do often properly and throughout cleaning it? This is either bad luck on my part or all of the bedrooms are like this."

I then began the task of preening my left wing by first eating every parasite that decided to reside on it and its feathers, it took me a few minutes as even though they got asphyxiation, they resisted my attempt to eat them by moving from one feather to the other.

After a grueling five minutes, I finally bit down the last parasites on my feathers as I crushed its body under my teeth and its blood felt sweet on my tongue. I then positioned my head upward and gulped down the remains of the parasite down my throat, before using my tongue to clean any of its body parts that stuck on my tooth.

When I was done, I looked down at my wing again and proceeded to lap my wings from the tip to its joints with my tongue to clear it of any dirt or filth stuck in there. After that was done, I began to pick off any loose feathers while straightening the out-of-place ones.

Several more minutes passed and I had finally finished my preening as I checked my wings twice from top to button, before dipping them into the water as I lay on the bathtub wall on my back with a satisfied smile, finally, my wings no longer felt itchy nor was there something crawling inside them.

Another few minutes passed by as I comfortably lay on the walls of the bathtub with my eyes closed, my lips curved up in a smile, and my breathing was soft and controlled as I relaxed my wings. I then sat up once more and this time used my telekinetic spell to grab the mane and tail shampoo.

I brought the shampoo forward before opening it up with a pop and bringing it up my head, then proceeded to begin slowly pouring its liquid on my manes, evenly to ensure that all area was covered with it. The liquid felt cold upon my head, but in a relaxing way that eased the headache in my head that suddenly occurred.

After several seconds of pouring, I set the bottle straight up and closed it before bringing it back behind the water taps and levers. I then brought my forehooves upward and began to gently mix the shampoo liquid with my mane for a few minutes, during which I also rubbed at a few particular spots that felt itchy.

When I was done, I brought my forehooves down and took a deep breath before plunging my head into the water with my eyes closed. I proceeded to bring my forehooves up to my mane and began washing it properly to ensure that all filth and dirt gathered after sleeping was cleansed.

After a minute, I couldn't hold my breath any longer so I quickly raised my head and took several deep breaths to replace the used oxygen in my lungs alongside stabilizing my slightly erratic breaths. Drops of water were flowing down my head and cheeks while some reached my eyes, thankfully the bath oil and mane shampoo I took were also tear-free ones, so my eyes were not irritated by it.

When my heart calmed down alongside my breath, I positioned my head lower to the surface of the water before begin using my forehooves to splash water onto my mane and wash it to ensure that none of the shampoo liquids remained on it.

Two more minutes passed and I positioned my body and head straight as my horn lit up in crimson magic, I was casting a telekinetic spell and aimed it at my mane to set aside some of it that was covering my eyes and ears, before began squeezing my mane to spill out the water it had absorbed like a sponge.

After I was finished, I inspected my reflection on the bathtub walls and saw that my mane currently was wet, loose, and a bit messy but otherwise clean and its color looked more vibrant than before. I then stand up and looked behind me as I move my tail upward out of the water, it also expose what was hidden underneath it and I must say, my ass and pussy outer layer looked red-purplish like the inside of a dragon fruit.

After I spent a few seconds staring at it, my mind refocused itself as my horn lit up again in telekinesis magic to grab the mane and tail shampoo before bringing it toward my tail. The shampoo went past my head and soon came to my line of sight, I opened it up with the same pop before slowly and evenly pouring it on my tail.

It is quite hard to keep my tail still as the cold liquids make my tail try to act on its own- it didn't like having cold things poured onto it. But after a minute and extra tens of millimeters of liquid wasted, my tail was evenly covered with the bluish shampoo.

I closed the shampoo before placing it back with its brother and sister which are other types of body cleaning products, I then used my magic to grab my tail before carefully mixing the liquid with its fur. I must not press too hard as this is a thin body part and could break much easier than the others.

A few minutes of careful and gentle attention later, my tail was finally mixed properly with the shampoo. So I lowered my tail and dipped it down under the water as my magic began to gently wash it similar to how my hooves washed my mane, it is certainly quite a unique thing to use magic to clean your hard-to-reach body parts.

After a minute, I raised my tail out of the water once again and inspected the result. It was wet, clean, and as vibrant as my mane was, but it looked messier since my telekinesis magic wasn't so accurate in properly washing it. I then lit up my horn again and this time squeezed the water out of my tail, very carefully to not break the fragile bone in it.

Three minutes of careful squeezing later, my tail was now even messier but at least the shampoo was out of it. Now that with my wings, mane, and tail taken care of, I can put my full attention to a particular test of my new reproductive organs.

Before that thought, I pulled the bathtub drain plug with my right hoof as I watched the water begin to drain and form a small whirlpool in the middle. Due to the volume of the water the bathtub holds, it takes more than a minute before the last pool of water descends into the drain hole, I then just simply put the plug back on and there we go, the bathtub is empty.

After that, I lay on my back on the now empty bathtub wall, my gaze now looking down at my body with an unsure and nervous look. Before I took a deep breath to calm myself and positioned my flank slightly upward so that I would be able to see my pussy.

Several attempts were made before I finally found the correct angle for me to be able to look at it, since my body was still small and lithe, I was able to get my head closer to my pussy until my face was right before it and I get a very clear look of how does it look like.

Just like what I had stated before, the outer layer of my pussy was red-purplish similar to the inside of a dragon fruit. I watched carefully as I tried my best to clench the right muscle so I could get my pussy to open up more and look at its inside, after a few tries I found the right muscle as I watched with a blush and half-ashamed smile at the dirty act I was doing.

"Oh my Kinersia, my pussy lips just spread themselves out and I see that the inside wall color is vibrant red with it becoming more vibrant the deeper it was. Certainly very different than what I have before and... I can even see some lubricant started to pour out as I'm feeling aroused and my body responding by preparing itself for a sexual encounter."

I started with nervous and slight awe in my voice as I watched that every time I loosen and clenched the muscle I had found, my pussy lips would open and close. My nose then began to pick up smells coming from my pussy, the smell is not an unpleasant one- if anything, it made me want to smell it more and get my nose closer to the source.

By this time, my wings had gone to a capital V position as my arousal caused it to have a wingboner, I sniffed the smell of my arousal a few more times before I brought my head closer and sniffed the smell directly on the source. My warm breath caused a spike of pleasure in my pussy as my body shivered in delight and my back hooves went closer to my head.

I blew out a slow but long wind directly into it, soon the pleasure returned as my blow turned into a moan of pleasure and my back hooves now began pressing on each side of my head as I thought with amazement, 'Wow, the pleasure is certainly unlike what I felt before in my previous life, it felt more intense and more spread, I like it.

The smells, it's so damn alluring and... it makes me want to lick the source. Wait, what am I waiting for? My purpose for doing this is to discover and feel how it feels to be on the other side of the fence sexually, I might as well put my tongue into it and begin lapping the juice, who knows? Maybe I would like the taste of it?'

I then opened up my mouth widely and began getting my head even closer until my muzzle directly touched my pussy, I then moved my equine tongue forward and began to gently lick the inside walls of my pussy. This act sends even more intense pleasure than before and makes my mouth let out a moan while licking, causing an even more blissful sensation to occur.

My back hooves were pressing each side of my head even more by the sensation, so I put my forehooves in between them before continuing to lick my pussy. This time I went faster and the pleasure rise tenfold as moan after moan of satisfaction left my lips, I managed to lap some of my pussy juice and the taste was fantastic.

It's a bit tangy, but it had the mix of sweet and sour that I liked. Unlike my mother's milk which felt sweet and sour like a combination of blueberry and grape, my pussy juice's taste is stronger akin to a mix of mango and lemon, alongside is more aphrodisiac and addicting as it made me want to drink more of it.

I continued lapping my tongue all over my walls, my tongue then lunged forward deeper into my pussy and then out of it repeatedly, giving my pussy a mock pleasure of being penetrated as it spread my wall and goes in and out continuously, faster and faster by the seconds.

Forget about trying to muffle my moans, by now my lips went free as I let out loud moans after moans of pleasure, lust, and need. I closed my eyes and focused my attention on the almost overwhelming sensation in my pussy as I changed my tongue pattern.

This time instead of plunging in and out like a dick repeatedly and swiftly, I lunged my tongue as deep as I could before making a circular movement and I let out loud moans as the feeling of pleasure got more intense.

I continued for a minute as the pleasure is building up more and more toward my final orgasm until I let out a small shout of pleasure as I felt a different spike of pleasant lustful sensation come across a particular part of my pussy and when my tongue went over it.

It wasn't enough to make me orgasm, but it was enough to draw my attention as I opened my eyes, raised an eyebrow, and looked at what was causing the spike in pleasure. Only to see a small heart-shaped vibrant red organ that now I know why it caused a lot of pleasure when my tongue just simply moved over it- because that is my clitoris.

"This is quite a unique shape and particular part of a mare's reproductive organs, the center of all of my sexual pleasure. But I rather liked my pussy inside walls to be reached and stretched more than lapping my tongue over my clitoris." I brought my head closer to my pussy to resume my licking when a thought came into my mind as I stated with a lustful smile.

"Wait a minute, I can use my magic to hold, envelope, and caress my clitoris while my tongue was working with my pussy inside walls. That way I can experience both things at once, another critical brilliant decision made by Critic everypony."

I lit up my horn in warm crimson magic as it began enveloping my clitoris before proceeding to slightly press and rub it using my magic. As a result, I let out a small scream of pleasure and lust with my eyes rolling high for a few seconds before my eyes returned to normal and I resumed doing circular motion with my tongue inside my pussy walls.

I continued my cunnilingus act for several more minutes with my clitoris being pressed and rubbed every few seconds by my magic, while my pussy walls were being spread out and lapped in circular motion by my tongue. Despite my lips trying to moan out in pleasure multiple times, I tried my best to muffle it as I focused my muzzle to achieve a more final and satisfying end.

By the minutes, my tongue's lapping had gone faster and faster as it licked my pussy walls in a circular motion followed swiftly by my clitoris being rubbed and caressed by my magic. I gasped and panted every so often now as my eyes went high while my breath was ragged because of the pleasure my mind felt, yet I closed my eyes and pressed on toward my first orgasm.

Sensing my impending orgasm, my tongue's circular motion sped up as it did two circling every second and pressed my muzzle on my pussy more so my tongue could reach deeper. Every circling of my tongue is followed by gentle rubbing over my clitoris by my magic as the feeling of pleasure I feel increases exponentially by the second.

After I kept going at this rate for two minutes, I sensed a finality was very close so I pulled my tongue back and quickly lunged it in as deep as it could get as I imagined myself being bred by a strong stallion. At the same time, I clinched and rubbed my clitoris twice with my magic in quick succession.

The combined effort resulted in my pussy experiencing its first orgasm as it shot out juice after juice straight into my lips, I let out a loud muffled moan at the sensation while trying my best to lap up all the juice pouring out. My body was shivering in delight as my back hooves shook and my mind went numb at the wonderful feeling of my first orgasm as a mare.

I kept lapping out any of the juice coming out of my pussy, until there was no more to lap and I released my magic clinching my clitoris as I lay on my back on the bathroom walls, a tired but satisfied and content smile on my lips as I let out a chuckle amidst my soft ragged breath upon what I had just done.

This is where the mature section ended, now the following will be suitable for young audiences.
Thank you for heeding my warning.

I opened my eyes as I just lay there on the bathtub wall, occasionally taking a deep breath to stabilize my soft panting. From my reflection I can still see that I was still blushing with my wings still spread out to their fullest and thick with blood, preventing me from trying to fold them back to my side.

"Mare, having an orgasm as a mare certainly quite a different and more intense experience, quite makes sense considering that their or rather, my fillyhood had sensitive muscles and nerves that stretched longer, wider, and in higher numbers. I put somewhere between eight to nine out of ten in terms of how pleasurable it was." I remarked with another chuckle and sighed pleasantly upon recalling the pleasure I felt during my first orgasm.

All of a sudden, two particularly dreading thoughts came to my mind that made my blood go cold instantly. How long had I been in here? That would be important to determine how close I was to my mother coming into this room to breastfeed me, but the most dreading of them all.

' I just moaned out loud and even screamed in pleasure while I was doing it, oh gosh I hope my family didn't hear that and assumed that I was doing something inappropriate for a filly my age. I must finish my body cleaning quickly- I still had to dry my body, place back all of the body cleaning products I used into the locker, brush my teeth, and then comb my mane and tail.'

I thought with dread in my heart and grimacing lips, my previously tired body suddenly was energized again and I was able to stand up as I lit up my horn in crimson magic to grab one of the towels in the hangar in front of me. I then brought the lime towel forward and began using it to wipe off any water droplets left behind and dry my body, mane, and tail.

After a minute, I had done drying my body and hung the towel back to its hanger with my magic. I climbed out of the bathtub before proceeding to light up my horn again and this time grab all three body cleaning products behind the water taps and levers, I then quickly made my way toward the locker and opened the transparent before placing all three body cleaning products properly in their respective space.

After that, I walked toward the mirror and saw my clear reflection on it. I must say that after three days of continuous usage of all three previous body cleaning products I mentioned, my coat looked smooth and is a bit slippery when I grace over it.

My mane and tail now were particularly messy with several of the strands being out of place or tangled with one another, so I opened up one of the cabinets with my right hoof before picking up a toothpaste, a blue toothbrush, and a mane/tail brush I would use to comb and get the strands on my mane and tail straight.

I then climbed the cabinets until I reached the top near the faucet, I lit up my horn and grabbed the violet transparent crystal glass beside the faucet. I then cranked the blue water tap open and put the glass right below it, after a few seconds I cranked the tap off and brought it to my muzzle to drink it.

I didn't gulp it down my throat, I just made the slightly cold water enter and stay in my mouth as I used the opportunity to open up the toothpaste with my magic. Then proceeded to slightly press it right above the toothbrush to let the paste drop onto it, after a few short seconds I loosened my grip and closed the toothpaste.

I placed the toothpaste down onto the cabinet and brought the toothbrush into my mouth as I started to brush my teeth with my wing controlling its movement, it took me more than two minutes to finish brushing my teeth since I cleaned it thoroughly and even brushed my tongue.

I did that because of my personal preference for having clean and healthy teeth, and I knew that it would affect my appearance alongside overall beauty. After that I let go of the brush from my mouth before spitting out the water inside, I then used my magic to turn on the blue water tap and began cleaning the toothbrush.

When I was done, I placed the toothbrush beside the toothpaste and picked up the mane and tail brush with my magic. I then began combing my mane and straightening the tangled strands, after a few minutes it was finished. I looked back at my tail as I spent another few minutes doing the same thing on it.

After I had finished, I put the brush on top of the cabinets and glanced at the mirror to inspect the result. My previously tangled mane was now straightened, it looked more wavy like waves on the beach shore, my mane only reached my lower neck as I cut it yesterday.

My sight then moved to my tail behind me as I moved it to my left and inspected the result in the mirror, unlike my mane, I had let my tail strands grow quite long but it wasn't sweeping the floor whenever I walked. All in all, my appearance looked similar to Rainbow Dash, only with a longer tail, a more flowy mane, and if she was shorter than she already was.

I then let myself be immersed in the reflection of a beautiful innocent-looking filly with a smile on her face and big, gleaming orange eyes that would make any mares awed by just looking at it. I let out an amused chuckle as a blush appeared on my cheeks and I commented in a proudful tone at my physical beauty, and embarrassment from what happened less than half an hour ago.

"Gosh I look so darn cute, I'm pretty sure I would hug my reflection if I could and my mother would follow as soon as she saw me. To think that this cute filly in the reflection is the pony who less than half an hour ago is eating and lapping at her pussy like a mare in heat until she orgasmed, this is certainly amusing."

After that, I grabbed the brush and oral health products with my magic before jumping down off the cabinets. I then turned around and opened the cabinet door where I had previously taken the items, I floated and placed all of the things I was holding in my magic back to their respective spot before closing the door.

Now that my business in the bathroom is completed, I make my way toward the door and I use my magic to crank the handle open and pull the door backward, I then walk out of the bathroom before closing the door behind me.

Right after I did that, I heard three knocks coming from my bedroom door followed closely by my mother asking permission to enter, "My filly Critic, are you there? Mommy is here as it's time for you to be breastfed and have a shower, so can I come in?"

Hearing her question, I looked up at the clock above the door and it read fifteen after five, I shook my head in amusement as I thought, 'Mom, mom, always so precise when it comes to doing your schedule.' before replied to her asking permission, "Always on time Mother, come in the door's not locked, and be sure to close it after you go in."

Upon hearing my response, my mother pulled down on the handle door and slowly opened the door by pushing it forward. She then saw me and inspected my appearance for a few seconds, she then stepped in with dropped ears and frowning lips as she stated with a slightly sad tone.

"Oh my filly come on, do you have to wake up so early in the morning so you could bathe and clean yourself on your own? I'm starting to miss the time we had when we bathed together as I washed your body over, playing as we splashed each other with water, and then combed your mane and tail after it."

As my mother closed the door behind her, I sighed in slight sadness upon hearing her words as I knew that she must have felt that I was growing way too fast. I then met my mother's gleaming eyes as she walked closer to me and I responded, "Mom, I know that you are saddened at the fact that I'm starting to do things we usually did together on my own."

I looked away toward the wall with a dawn horizon illusion as I continued with a sorrowful yet determined voice, "But I have this need of independence to try to solve and do things on my own, it is what makes me keep going forward and what makes me able to not only tackle, but triumph over the problem and obstacles I had in my previous life."

My mother then picked me up to her chest with her wings before proceeding to hug me as she carried me toward the bed, upon hearing my response my mother just sniffed in sorrow before saying, "I know that my filly, you are growing so fast and while I'm proud of it, I just... I don't want to have to let you go out of the nest and my care so soon after I have you."

My mother hugged me closer to her chest as we reached the bed and she sat on top of it, she began to sob as her eyes filled with tears and she continued with clear worry and fear in her voice, "At the rate you are currently growing, I fear that one day, much sooner than normal, you would ask permission to get out of the nest and have a life of your own.

I fear that if it comes to that I wouldn't be able to say no and... you would fly away searching for a place to make your own nest. I dread at the thought that the bond we can extend during your foalhood would be cut short to the point that after seeing so much of the world, you wouldn't be able to reminisce about us and the bond we once had with you."

I heard my mother begin to cry as I looked up at her, her eyes were gleaming with tears of sorrow as her lips went down in fear and dread at the thought, my mother then began to nuzzle my head and face like how she used to do it after a shower when my secret was still not revealed.

I stayed in silence for a minute as I chose my next words carefully before I stared into my mother's eyes, I wiped the tears on both of her cheeks with my wings and said with reassurance, "Mother, don't cry, don't cry. I understand the sorrow you felt and trust me, I wouldn't go anywhere soon and until I had come of age.

I may be a lot more mature mentally than my brother or foals my age, but the fact stands that I'm still a foal and a foal requires wisdom, care, and guidance from his/her parents. I still need you and others to light and guide my way while protecting me from dangers lurking in the dark, I love others alongside you Mom, and I will never forget the bond we had created nor I will cut it short from expanding."

Hearing my assurance and attempt to comfort her, my mother stared down at me as her lips went up in smiles and her eyes gleamed with joy. My mother then let out a chuckle and shook her head while keeping the smile on her face, she then wiped the tears off both her eyes with her wings before saying with relief in her voice.

"My filly Critic, I suppose a few of your father's traits are in your blood since you know what to say to comfort a sad crying mare when you need to. It makes me glad that you find us as being the light and guide on the way to your adulthood, despite you already having a mentality that is so mature and resourceful."

After that, my mother's sobs had ceased and she began laying down on the bed on her side, she then began bringing me down with her wings as I sighed in both annoyance and acceptance of what was to come again. I was then face to face with her swollen teats but this time Instead of latching on it instantly, I showed her my affection by taking things slow.

I first opened up my mouth and brought my muzzle to the center of the two nipples, I then let out my tongue and began lapping both teats one at a time, picking droplets of the sour milk yet not sucking. My mother gasped at the sensation as she let out a muffled moan while murmuring, "That's certainly different than before."

I continued to caress both of the teats and pick up any milk droplets for a few more minutes until I used my tongue to pull the nipple in the right into my mouth before quickly latching onto the lap one. I then began sucking quite intensely which caused my mother to gasp in pleasure as the sour sweet milk began pouring out and went straight into my belly.

Another few minutes passed before no more milk poured out and my belly was full, during which my mother mostly let out muffled moans but occasionally one would pass and she would moan out loud at the intense sensation.

I kept both nipples in my mouth as I began lapping them clear of any milk droplets left with my tongue for a minute, then I slowly opened up my mouth and let go of my latching. My mother then brought me upward as she got herself to meet her blushing and smiling face as she got herself to a sitting position, she then said with a chuckle.

"Today you're quite adventurous aren't you my filly? This one is certainly much more different and... pleasurable than before, I don't know why I should ask this of my little filly but, could you please from now on began sucking my teats like that whenever I breastfed you? It certainly is more intense and pleasant than the usual."

Upon hearing my mother's request, I smiled and nodded my head affirmatively before I answered, "Okay Mom, if you want it intense and hard then I will give you it. Anyway, Mom can I join with the rest of the family over at breakfast? There's something I need to discuss with you all that may affect our life."

After hearing my questions, my mother raised an eyebrow as her lips went neutral and eyes gazing at me with curiosity before she asked, "Of course my filly, you're free to join us in our breakfast this morning but remember you can't and I wouldn't allow you to eat any of the food as your digestive system hasn't yet perfected itself.

Eating wings and feathers parasites is different as it's our body's built-in special digestive response that allows it, not our normal ones. Anyway, mind telling your mother here what is bothering your mind and wanting to have a discussion over with others at the dining table?"

As my mother put me down on her lap, I glanced up at her face before stating, "Well, it's better off be discussed when everypony is in the same room since it's concern an admittedly tempting and interesting prospect that may change how we'll live from now- don't look at me with worry or concern mom, it's nothing dangerous."

I said the last bit because I saw the look I received from my mother when I stated that the topic better be discussed with others in the same room, seriously she had a clear concern plastered on her face. Her lips grimaced in worry and her eyes gleamed at me with anticipation as if I was about to pass out or disappear from her sight any second, her wings even sprayed out in preparation to dash toward me.

Hearing my assurance, my mother calmed down as her lips went back to normal and wings folded onto her sides but her eyes never left my form as she blinked only after several seconds. As she was getting out of bed, she looked at me right in the eyes as she said. "Alright my filly, I trust that you know what you're thinking right now and be careful of it."

Her sight was then focused on the door as she began walking toward it, she opened the door and pulled it back. Just as she was about to leave the room, she took one last glance at me and stated, "My filly, come to the dining room at six and remember, your family will always have your back no matter what decision you take."

After that, she walked out of the room and closed the door behind her but I managed to hear her quietly murmuring in suspicion, "What is she contemplating, and what smell I sniffed emanating from her?"

The last part made my blood go cold as upon hearing that, I realized just how stupid I was for not using the perfume to mask my arousal scent that still linger in my body and how close I was to being discovered by my mother. In response to that, I just sighed in relief as it seemed the mare of luck was still on my side today, my head then turned to one of the bookshelves as I thought.

'Now, what book would I be reading this dawn to pass the time until breakfast? Maybe something about history?' I then get out of bed and make my way toward one of the bookshelves. As I stood before it, my lips grimaced as my mind contemplated what book I should read for there was so much of it, yet so little time to read.

' This is gonna be one particular hard choice among the many books I could pick'

Thirty minutes had passed since my mother breastfed me, during which I had chosen the topic of the book to be Alicorn biology. I had a particular book titled 'Wonders of Alicorns Biology' which is very graphic, very lewd, very mature, but extremely informative and clear in its explanation nonetheless.

I had wondered for a moment previously why my mother allowed this kind of book to linger and reside in one of the bookshelves inside the room I had chosen as my temporary residence. She's the kind of mare who would thoroughly search and inspect something until she was truly sure of its nature.

That's when I found out that the author of this book is a Water Alicorn, this mare quoted in the back of the book cover which read 'Remember ponies, no education or knowledge regarding anything should be kept hidden even from our young. Don't give your foals this book, let them be the ones to discover and read it.'

This both indirectly and directly meant that Water/Ice Alicorns or maybe Alicorns in general, don't like keeping knowledge and wisdom they could share with others to the point that there are no boundaries on who discovered the book and if he/she could read it or not.

"So the bones in an Alicorn body are very durable yet also flexible? I suppose that would explain why I was able to taste and lap my pussy to orgasm without breaking my spine, though I have to ask one thing.

Why of all the complex movements the author could choose, did she pick images of various types of Alicorn stallions and mares doing various kinds of sexual positions? Is she a pervert or does all Water/Ice Alicorns are like this?" I asked with a blush on my face upon seeing the very detailed and graphic images on almost every page I went through.

After I had read halfway through the book, I decided that I had enough of it for now as my mind was still analyzing and going over the vulgar but informative images I had seen again and again. I get myself out of bed and quickly head toward the bookshelf I pick this book from before placing it back on its rack.

I then turned around and looked at the clock above the wall, which read five minutes before six as I concluded it was time to go to the dining room to meet with all of my family and discuss this possibility. I made my way to the door before using my magic to open the door and pull it backward, I stepped outside and closed the door as I went by it.

Even after three days, I was still not quite familiar with the layout of the airships and I stared toward each of the corridors which was split between the one in front of me, on my left, and my right. Because I didn't know which corridor led to the dining area, I decided to take my chances and turn to my right.

Just as I was about to begin to walk, I felt something gently bite down on my neck and carry me upward as I let out a startled yelp as a response. I glanced back behind me just in time to see the narrowed cyan eyes of my aunt revealed from invisibility as she growled softly before asking with accusation.

"Now, now, now little niece, Critic. Where do you think you are going? The closest dining room where your family will eat is to your left, are you trying to slip out again? Your mother did tell me you tended to do that hence why she told me to fetch you up and carry you toward her if you take the wrong corridor."

After she asked that, she turned around and began walking through the left corridor when I was finally able to muster up a response, I rolled my eyes and replied with annoyance in my voice, "Oh come on auntie, you do know that I'm still not yet familiar with the ship layout and I'm bound to take a wrong turn, even with the ship layout map."

Hearing my reply, my aunt growled softly and slightly increased the force of her bit on my neck which made my lips grimace and a slight blush appears on my cheeks, my neck has been particularly sensitive and the feeling of her biting on it was causing me to feel aroused- it's practically my fetish.

I positioned my head forward so that my aunt didn't notice my blush, it worked as what she stated next had nothing to do with the red tinge on my cheeks, "Huh yeah, and your mom also stated that you would often try to make an excuse to justify your failed attempt at slipping out. You would stay in my bite until we entered the dining room, little niece."

Upon hearing her response, I just sighed and accepted my fate of being carried to the dining room by my aunty in a way that practically mimics how a mother cat would carry her kitten. It took us a few minutes and go through a few corridors alongside make several turns until the dining room was in sight.

The dining room of the airship is certainly a unique one, in a way kinda resembles our house dining room before we pack it up only more vibrant and illusionary. The crystals in the room gave illusions of having a picnic on a green field at the time of month being warm spring as the sun is shining warmly in the ceiling.

On the walls several illusions of trees with their leaves dancing softly as if it was being pushed by the winds, there are even some illusions of rivers and lakes farther into the horizon. The floor is filled with the illusion of green grasses, making it feel natural with the only thing that seems out of place being the large two-by-one-meter translucent blue crystal tables in the middle of the room.

The tables have several chairs with my father, brother, and uncle taking their seat and seemingly waiting patiently for the food to arrive judging by five empty white crystal plates placed on top of the tables with several silver eating utensils placed on each side.

As we stepped into the room, my father was the first one to notice us as his head moved toward us, and upon seeing me being carried with my neck bitten by my aunt, he raised an eyebrow as his eyes widened in slight surprise before he asked, "My filly, aren't you still not be able and allowed to eat solid food yet? So why did your aunt bring you here with your neck bitten by her?"

My father's question gathered the attention of my brother and uncle who now were looking at us or particularly at me with mixed surprise and curiosity, before I could answer though, my mother entered the room with trays of grilled fish on her magic as she answered his question for me.

"Arcane, our filly here stated before to me that she had something that she is very contemplating on her mind and is concerning enough for her to want to discuss it with us. Something about how it might change how we would live from now by her choice of words."

My aunt then quickly walked up to my mother as she placed the trays of grilled fish on the middle of the table, she then positioned her head lower to be under my aunt's chin. My aunt then brought me upward and placed me on top of my mother's head before releasing her bite on my neck as she turned my body around with her magic.

Right after that, my mother brought her head up as she shook her head and clicked her tongue several times before saying, "My filly, you tried to run off again, didn't you? Otherwise, why would my little sister over here bite your neck and carry you here when you could simply walk your way?"

Hearing her accusation, I rolled my eyes and growled softly in annoyance before I stated with a face hoof, "Why does nopony believe me when I said that I got lost while walking my way toward my destination even with the use of the airship layout map?"

My father was the one answering the question as he let out an ahem and gathered all of our attention toward him, he had a concerned look on his face with his eyes narrowing in concern and suspicion, while his lips were curved down in a frown alongside his ears.

"My filly, no one believed you because I find it very unlikely that you are unable to navigate through the airship corridors even with the help of a very detailed airship layout map. Alongside that, it is no secret that you tended to escape our sight when the attention is not directed toward you."

My father then clapped his wing as his eyes locked with mine, cutting me from answering as he asked with concern, "However, that's currently not the main topic and can be discussed later. Now, I want to know what is bothering your mind and what you want to discuss with us. Does it require me to take up arms?"

Upon hearing his questions, my eyes widened in surprise as I looked at his serious yet concerned face. While I have known him to be very protective of us, I didn't expect that he would be quick to consider taking up arms to solve whatever is bothering me. I shook my head as his question as I replied with slight disbelief in my tone.

"No Dad, you don't need to take up arms to solve whatever is bothering my mind. What I wanted to discuss is a matter of living arrangements, I mean, instead of just living in a remote town located very far away from the capital. Why don't we just live in an airship?"

My mother and aunt took their respective seats as they processed what I had just asked, I just realized at this point that the male members of the family were sitting on the right side of the table while the female members were on the left, meaning there's maybe some decorum when it comes to eating with other not core family members.

In response to my question, my father's face softened as his eyes lost their suspicion and concern while his lips curved up to a neutral-friendly smile, he then lit up his horn and placed some of the grilled fish into his plates alongside some other compliments before answering.

"That's certainly an interesting prospect you have there my dear little filly, please explain to me how you think living in an airship is a good idea. And are you referring to the airship we are currently on board? My coins are more than enough to buy two dozen of these things so it's not a financial issue, but living in an airship this size would certainly raise some particular issues."

Before answering my father's question, I took a deep breath to calm my racing heart and prepared myself for a civilized debate with my father. I closed my eyes for a few seconds as I collected my thoughts before I opened it back up and stared right into his eyes as I stated with a determined voice.

"Mom, Dad, and everypony else in this room. You see I'm picturing in my mind that if we stayed in one place no matter how remote, hidden, or far it was for a prolonged amount of time, we would eventually be discovered and twelve cycles is a long time which certainly means it would be quite likely that they would find us before the time passed."

As I took another deep breath to calm my heart and recollected my thoughts, my father motioned for me to continue with his hoof as he now had an interested expression with eyes beginning to glow with curiosity and eyebrows raised in wonder. At this point, he and the rest of the family had begun eating their food while listening to my arguments.

"However, if we lived in an airship that is sizeable enough to be comfortable like how we would live in our previous house, then we would have a mobile home and we could relocate anytime we want without many issues. This is perfect because it would be hard for the imperial ministries to track us down if we are always on the move."

I took another deep breath and stayed in silence as I considered my next choice of words while staring at the ceiling for a minute, I then glanced down at my father's face again and continued in a more resolved tone, "Also, I'm not thinking about living inside the airship we currently on board, that's just ridiculous and unmanageable due to the amount of maintenance required.

Instead, I'm thinking that perhaps we should live in a smaller airship like say, a fourth or fifth the size of the airship we currently live in. That would be the size of our previous house and if all of the rooms were enchanted with space manipulation spells, then the rooms would be bigger on the inside than what was on the outside."

I then looked down at my right hoof as I considered what other aspects I could press that could support my cause, after a minute of thorough contemplating I raised my head back up and stared at my father's interested and proudful smile as he had no doubt, impressed by my ability to conduct a proper debate.

"That would mean we could fit more things in one room and Mother could have her library and research room set, which I'm sure she would be delighted to know. In your case Dad, now you can go on and do your quest while having your family and home following close behind.

This means you can be more frequent at home and spend time with your loved family more while still doing your job as a protector, as for my brother, I'm sure he would be joyful to know that we can travel and explore any place we want with the comfort and safety of our home always close behind us. So, what do you all think about it?"

After I finished my arguments, all of my family members stayed silent for a few seconds as my heart raced and eyes widened in anticipation of what their response might be after they proceeded with my words. They then slowly looked up at me with widened eyes before they began applauding in agreement because they were impressed by my performance.

Hearing their applause, my racing heart began to calm down as I sighed in relief that my gamble of discussing with my family members turned in my favor. I glanced at my father and saw his gleaming eyes alongside lips curving up in paternal pride as he kept applauding with his forehooves before stating in amazement.

"Wow there my filly, that's an impressive debate you just did before. You didn't even give me time to counter-argument yet you answered all of those arguments and questions, with some even before they formed in my head. Well done my filly, I'm amazed and I do agree with your idea."

The next one to state their amazement toward me was my brother beside my uncle as he expressed his opinion with an awestruck smile on his lips, "I will be honest with you little sis, that's one heck of an argument you just did. You must have thought of this possibility thoroughly at every angle.

I'm dumbfounded at how you managed to find what ideas would benefit you and each of your family so fast, not only that but I'm impressed that you managed to spot flaws in our parent's original plans and provide a new, better one."

My uncle was the next to voice up his agreement as he let out a chuckle and nodded affirmatively before he clapped his wings together and stated, "I must admit this 'unique circumstances' is quite astonishing the more I see it, you stated the arguments at a level of ease that make me wonder if you had long experience with it.

As for your ideas, if my brother already supports you then I see no reason as to why I should object to it. So what do you think of our little niece debate here my love, Nevalis?"

As our attention was directed toward her, her eyes widened in surprise and her jaw dropped a little as she didn't expect this. She then hid her face under her wings in a nervous attempt to shield herself from the attention she was receiving, she opened up her wing a little bit and said in a small, nervous tone, "I think she did good and I agreed with her idea... please don't stare at me."

... Huh, I already expected my aunt to be quite the shy Alicorn especially if attention were directed at her, but I didn't expect it to be like this, at least she doesn't run away in an instant while letting out an eeep like a certain yellow Pegasus does. Anyway, now that my aunt has stated her opinion, our attention was drawn to my quiet mother.

Currently, she had her wing on her chin with her eyes closed as she was deep in her thoughts. Her expression was neutral with her lips and ears neither going down nor going up, nervousness started to envelop my mind as my mother was the main brain of the family and she must have been thinking about where and at what angle my proposal was weak.

After a few minutes of tense silence, my mother opened her eyes and folded her wing back to her side. She now had the kind of smile you would see when somepony found a weakness in their opponent's proposal and knew how to properly take advantage of the hole, I didn't like that.

My mother then did her best to stare up at me while keeping a smile on her face, this made me feel a bit nervous on the inside but I was sure not to show it by my expression adopting a poker face. My mother then opened up her lips and asked while raising an eyebrow, "The proposal you just put there certainly awestruck me, my filly.

You even manage to put forth what benefit it will give in general and for each of us, I'm impressed, to say the least, and that's no easy thing. However, I noticed one glaring hole that must be questioned and that is... how would both you and your brother here receive both your respective education?."

My mother's eyes then narrowed and I suddenly felt as if the room was freezing around me, I saw in the corner of my eyes that the rest of my family member's lips grimaced upon seeing her expression. She then clapped her hoof before stating in a cold and stern voice.

"I'm an Ice Alicorn, and we Water/Ice Alicorns take a lot of pride in us being the most advanced civilization out of the other seven. This can only happen because we ensured that our young received the highest quality of education, so don't even think that I would allow both of you to not receive said education.

I want all of my foals to grow up with their mind full of knowledge, " She then pointed her right hoof at me, "Especially you my filly, Critic, you had your body and magic supporting your mind from the start. And I want you to grow up into a smart, intelligent, calculating, and sharp mare with curiosity about the world alongside inventing something that revolutionizes aspects of Alicornkind civilization."

Under my mother's intense gaze, my body trembled slightly as my mind almost went panic at her question that I wasn't anticipating, I kept my expression calm by once again adopting a poker face as my lips stayed neutral and my eyes neither narrowing nor widening, although it seemed to be ineffective as my mother just lips curved up more upon seeing my reaction.

I stayed in silence for a few minutes with my eyes closed as my mind went back and forth in an attempt to search for the correct answer to the question, this contemplation made me have a headache a bit but I pushed that pain away when a light bulb appeared in my mind as it found a possible solution for the problem at hoof.

I then opened my eyes and clapped my hooves to gather their attention, once that was done I cleared my voice before letting out my answer in a determined, calm voice, "That is a smart question mother, I admit I'm having trouble finding the appropriate answer to the question.

But, I feel like I have found a solution to cover the hole in my proposal. Regarding our respective educations," I glanced at my brother then at my father, "I believe in terms of my brother, father here is a high rank, hardened, and experienced protector which considering if we were to continue with the plan, would be able to be at home and spent time with us more.

This means, he could teach my brother the way of the sword and protector just as well as if he were to be once again enrolled in the combat academy, if not even better. Combined with our new house in the proposal being a sizeable airship that is mobile, then we could fly to any kind of special terrain that is required in training to become a full-fledged protector."

I then took a deep breath and closed my eyes once more to smooth out the nervousness I was feeling, I opened my eyes back up and continued in a more calm and resolved tone, "There's one thing worthy of note to be stated before I continued my solution, and that is unless I'm mistaken.

There are no documents or papers that would be got after finishing education in one of the two types of academies, this means any Alicorns could become researchers or protectors if they proved that they can complete the qualification test successfully, which is used to state that said Alicorns can properly handle and took the responsibilities that will come by taking the roles."

I then looked down and met with my mother scrutinizing eyes below me, I then pointed at myself with my right hoof before stating, "As for my education, I believe that you would be more than capable of teaching me the basic and finer aspects of magics, knowledge, facts about the world, alongside many other things.

Considering that you are a researcher who must have contributed to Alicornkind quite a lot to deserve the respectful title of lady Aeterna, this is a sign that you are very intelligent and can discover or invent something great previously unheard and unseen before."

My lips went in a smile as I let out a chuckle before finishing my answer, "As a bonus, less than half an hour ago you told me in my bedroom that you fear that I might fly out of the nest so soon after you have me, thus might cause me to lose the bond we have created together as it wasn't strong enough to survive the cruel passage of time.

Well, this way we could bond together while still getting my proper education from the best teacher I could ask for, my mother. So what do you say, do you agree with my proposal now?"

Upon hearing my answer, my mother closed her eyes as she was deep in her thoughts, she stayed silent for a few more minutes which made me feel worried with my lips grimacing as my mind wondered if perhaps she was cooking up a new question- one that I couldn't answer without sounding to be too far-fetched.

My mother then opened her eyes and did something unexpected, she laughed with tears of joy in her eyes as she picked me up with her wings and hugged me to her chest. All the while she squealed in happiness and nuzzled my head several times before she said in a gladful voice.

"Oh my filly thank you, thank you, thank you! After hearing your reasoning and solution, I would be more than happy to be your mother and your teacher, I'm also glad that you care for your mother's feelings toward you as well. Your solution is also great as that will increase the bonds between each member of the family!

I'm proud that you are willing to stand up against your mother and the process of how you lay your debate is simply fantastic- The point is, now I wholeheartedly agree with the plan!"

As my mother continued her show of affection to me, my father noticed my not-amused looks as he let out a chuckle and shook his head before stating, "Well my filly, there's nothing you can get out of this other let it pass on its own, although I wonder how you manage to convince her since I need to be with her for a cycle to even have a chance."

I just stared at my father's face as best as I could for several seconds, before I let out an acceptance sigh and hugged her as well. My mother continued her affection and this time she started to nuzzle my manes as I thought, 'Well, at least it has gone better than I expected and I'm sure in a few minutes she would be done.'

She didn't stop showing her affection to me until my aunt was the one to get me out of her grip.

Two hours have passed since my successful discussion with my family at the dining table, during which my family had completed eating their breakfast and began doing the work of the day. My uncle had gone back to the outboard to continue steering the airship while the rest five of us began unloading my family's belongings from storage.

Fortunately didn't take too long as now we have more experience with the airship layout, thus cutting the time required to navigate through the corridors of the airships significantly. So with the collective effort of five of us, we managed to get all of the packages and furniture into a closed area near the outboard.

Currently, my family and I were staring at the town of Irema below us from the airship's right walls, I would describe the town as a blend between the shining translucent crystal city of Vistentia and nature itself. The buildings are made of the familiar purple-oriented crystals but the roads and sidewalks are dirt paths filled with grass on each side.

There's more touch of greenery, to say the least, every house has a small front yard and backyard with trees, small plants, grasses, and even small well-maintained bushes which are used as somewhat like fences. The lamp streets are quite different since this time it's made of hard polished stone with various symbols curved on it.

A few parks are stretching about more or less a hundred meters, and a white marble fountain in the shape of Empress Kinersia can be seen to always be in the middle of the parks. Surrounded by thick well-maintained bushes that seemed to be used as natural fences, with there being several dark blue crossed lime benches on each side.

The statue of Empress Kinersia displayed on the fountain is different though, rather than the one near the hospital that painted her as a fierce defender of her ponies and ancient guardian of the city. This time she is pictured as the motherly and kind presence amidst the darkness with each stature having a difference in how they portray it.

The fountain statue in the park is shaped like a circle, she is portrayed to be shielding a few young Alicorns from the rain with her wide wings and a friendly smile on her face as she glances down upon them. The Alicorn foals looked up at her with a surprised look but otherwise, lips curved up in a smile at her care for them.

The fountain statue in the middle of the park is shaped like a square, she is shown to be lending her right hoof down at the crying Alicorn colt sitting in front of her in a manner that shows she is willing to get them to rise back up after a fall. The colt glanced up at her reassuring smile with a surprised look as he smiled too and gladly accepted her help by taking her hoof.

On the fountain statue in the center of the rectangle park, she is pictured wielding her sword on her right wing with a few Alicorn foals cowering behind her in fear. Her expression is one of protectiveness and anger as her lips growl while her fang is bared at the two black marble statues of an Alicorn mare and stallion.

The one in the park shaped like a triangle, is presented to be bandaging an Alicorn filly with wounded wings with a stern yet caring look on her face. Her lips frown in disappointment but her eyes are gleaming with tears as she is worried about the well-being of the filly in front of her.

The filly eyes had tears of pain and shame as she gazed upon Kinersia's face, but she showed a sorrowful smile on her face as her mouth opened up in a manner of asking for forgiveness for the mistake she made.

All in all, she is indeed pictured as the motherly, caring, and protective presence as there are other fountains in a differently shaped park showing a different way of how she was portrayed as it. However, now this does make me wonder if perhaps she is a stern but benevolent and caring ruler of her empire.

Anyway, the streets were already busy with young Alicorns in uniforms and armor going about their day-to-day life. Our airship is quite huge, hence why we caused a large lump of shadow to appear right below us as Alicorns stopped their walking and gazed up to look what was causing their surroundings to be cast with shadow.

I turned to face my mother who was still looking at the town below us, her expression watchful as her eyes scanned through the landscape and her lips remained neutral. Deciding that now is a good time to ask questions about the airship that's been bothering my mind since we got on board, I tilted my head and asked in a wondering tone.

"Mom, may I ask you something regarding the airship? I'm wondering how such a huge airship be maintained. I mean, aren't airships this size would usually require a lot of crews working continuously to maintain and clear various parts of the airship from the engines to the control deck?"

Hearing my question, my mother remained still and quiet for a few seconds as her mind processed what I just asked. She turned to face me with a proudful smile on her face as she answered, "My filly, you are indeed right that an airship of this size would require a sizeable crew to operate and maintain it.

However, this was where the wonders and powers of magic were fully utilized. The airship is self-repairing meaning any damage it receives would quickly be repaired, the maintenance of engines and other vital parts of the airship is handled by various enchantments placed on them that would keep them clean and well-maintained."

Upon receiving my mother's answer, my attention was now fully drawn to the subject at hoof as it now piqued my interest, I looked down at the floor for a few seconds to consider the words I would choose for my next question. After a few seconds glanced back up at her and asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Huh, I knew that magic would have a play on the well-being of the airship, but I didn't know that it would to this extent. Mom, can you tell me just what kinds of spells are cast on the airship that would make it repair and maintain itself automatically, are there any other features of the airship that I didn't know?"

My mother was more than happy to answer my question as she giggled before stating, "Such a curious mind placed on my filly's head, I'm a hundred percent approve and agree to this fact. As for your question, it is not exactly spells cast upon the airship, but rather tens of thousands of complex enchantments placed on each part of the airship.

What I meant by that is every piece, part, engine, and component of the airship must be enchanted independently before being assembled. As you might expected is not an easy thing as one wrong pattern during the enchanting process meant you have to redo it from the start, making the production of an airship this size very slow, arduous, and time-consuming process."

My mother then looked down at the airship's steel walls, before she raised her hoof and punched at one of the spots. As her hoof made contact with the steel wall, it let out a loud thunk as my eyes widened and my jaw dropped in shock as the metal now had a quite deep dent the size of my mother's hoof.

My mother pulled out her hoof from the dent she had created and looked at the sky in front of us, I slowly followed her gaze and noticed that there was a triple layered violet shield encasing the airship. She then glanced down at me and stated, "The other feature of this airship is that whenever it was damaged or detected danger incoming.

The enchantment placed on every part of the airship would react and create a triple layer of magical shield the size of the things the enchantments were placed upon, it would appear several meters in front of them. The only part that would react this way was the one that was exposed."

After several seconds of staring at the magical shields suddenly encasing the airship, I looked at my mother who noticed my surprised expression, she raised an eyebrow before she pointed at the spot she just punched with her hoof and stated, "Now look at the spot where I punched the steel wall my filly, it's now been repaired."

I followed my mother's hoof and saw that the deep dent I had just seen less than a minute ago was gone, not even any sign or trace could be seen as if it had never even been damaged in any way, as a plus it even shined like it was brand new when the sunlight hit it.

My head was still processing the fact that my mother had just casually punched and succeeded in creating several centimeters deep dent in the metal wall, she had done it so casually without her hoof getting any lump or crack from the impact.

So the fact that now I had to add another information that the dent was fixed very quickly, my brain was overloaded and I decided not to bother or think about it anymore. I just shook my head in disbelief as my jaw went back up and my eyes went back to normal.

I continued staring at the spot where the dent was on for several more seconds in silence before I was broken out of my thought when I heard my father laugh out loud upon seeing my bewildered face before he said in an amused voice, "My filly, I know that look since I too had the same reaction when I saw how hard your mother can punch."

He then clapped his wings together before he continued, "Trust me, the punch you just saw is nothing compared to if she were to actually intent and want to hit something. Despite having no formal combat experience or training, she punched very well and I knew this from experience."

My father lips grimaced and looked at his back with a pained look as if he was recalling something from experience, my mother saw this and just chuckled before she stated with a wide, scary smile on her lips, "Well, that's what you get for letting yourself be seduced by a Blaze Alicorn mare, kissing her, and almost having sex with her without considering that you are in an active relationship with me."

Hearing my mother's statement, I just glanced up and looked at both my parent's faces several times as I wondered just what kind of past these two had before they married each other. I opened up my lips and was about to ask them about it when I was cut off by my uncle shouting.

"Alright! We are closing in on an airship field and will soon begin landing this airship! All passengers please put on your seatbelts or stay still inside your room and hold on tight to not slip or fall onto the floor!"

As soon as we heard that, my family and I began to get ourselves to sit on the metal benches while putting our seatbelts on. My mother lit up her horn and enveloped my body with her magic before she floated me onto her lap, then put her wings around my body in a back-side hug.

After waiting a few minutes, we felt the airship begin to descend rapidly as I watched my uncle pull a few levers down and some others up with his magic because his wings were busy stabilizing the airship. As we descended, I saw a few smaller airships ascending and flying beside or over our airship.

I looked up at the cloud engines above us and saw that the wind flows gradually got lower and lower by the second, it stayed this way for two more minutes until the wind flows closed and all of the holes began to close, making the airship descend faster because there's no lift up energy and the weight of the airship body.

With a loud thud, a slight creak of metal, and a bit of throb from the airship hitting the ground. My uncle released his wings hold of the steer and pulled some lever, which resulted in all two staircases on the left and right sides of the airship beginning to fold down with clank after clank of metal.

A minute later, as the staircases reached the ground and gave the airship more stability, my uncle looked at us as he took a deep breath before shouting, "We have arrived and the airship had landed successfully! All passengers now are allowed to open their seatbelts and walk around the airship! As a final note, Welcome to the town of Irema everypony!"

And with that, my family opened up their seatbelts and got out of the benches while my mother released her wings around me as I jumped to the ground. My gaze was now then turned ahead of us on the other side of the airship, where I could various kinds of airships landing and ascending while the rest stayed on the ground.

Some airships are quite huge, but none of them seemed to be as huge as the airship we are onboard so of course our landing caused Alicorns nearby us to turn their head and look at our airship with both surprise and awe at the sheer size of it.

I then heard hoof steps closing in as my uncle entered my line of view with a smile on his face, he then glanced at my father and said, "Well, now that we have arrived and landed upon an airship field, we can begin searching for the airship that met your family needs for a comfortable, sizeable, and mobile flying home."

My father met my uncle's gaze and showed the same smile toward him, he then looked at us before gazing back at my uncle and stated, "Yeah, it seemed that by today's end, we would go our separate ways again little brother, it's been nice to finally meet you again after the last time we saw you at your wedding. Once again, I'm very thankful and glad that you are willing to help us out on this quite delicate matter."

My uncle just waved his wings off and stated with a humble smile, "Nah, think nothing of it since we are family and family always help each other no matter the circumstances, so I'm more than happy to lend you and your family help whenever you asked for it."

Before my father could respond to his words though, my brother cut him off as he looked at me and then toward the town on the other side of the airship field, then looked at our parent's faces as he asked, "Mom, Dad, can my little sis Critic and I went out and explore the town together?"

Our mother was the first one to answer his question as she let out a hmm and glanced at me with a questioning look, silently asking if I would like to explore the city with my brother, to which I responded with an affirmative nod after I threw the idea back and forth in my mind.

Seeing my nod, my mother glanced down at my brother and stated, "Alright, your little sis seems to agree with your request to explore the town with her. So both of you are allowed to go out and explore the city together, just don't wander off too far, and be sure to be back before twelve for lunch.

Also, be sure to use your disguise name, for you my filly it would be 'Review' and for you my colt it would be 'Terika', understood?"

Hearing that his request was granted, he smiled joyfully and said, "Thank you" before he walked toward me and grabbed my right wing with his own as he began dragging me along with him. I was a bit startled and annoyed by it but decided to keep my lips closed as I followed his enthusiastic steps close behind.

Well, another morning in the land of Equinera, where every hidden truth and secret is waiting to be discovered in sometimes unexpected and previously unthought places, and the ponies to discover them are the kind of ponies who are willing to take risks and then thrive in it.

Author's Note

Critic is exploring a new town alongside her brother, let's see how well it goes and what effect it had on them...

Anyway, last week I told myself and you ponies that I had been wondering how in the name of hell the number could reach that much.

Surprise-surprise, now this chapter is almost 18k words and I'm just sitting here at my desk with my laptop in front of me as I wondered in my mind how the hell it could reach this much.

This undoubtedly gonna be an even harder chapter to edit than the last ones, let's just hope I didn't break my spine as I went to re-read and edit the chapter to fix any mistakes

On another note, this story now reached over 100k words! I must say I wouldn't be able to reach this much were it not for all of your support.

So thank you, like really thank you, if you told me three months ago that I would be able to write a decent story that reached over 1k views and 100k words, I would have asked if you were drunk or under drug effects.

Anyway, next chapter we are gonna explore how these two explored the cities and then met and interacted with other Alicorns, especially one around Ethern's age. Who knows? Maybe something unexpected or great would happen?

As a closing note, once again thank you for all of your support, and see you all next week everypony!

PS : Luckyfanisaac, I know that you know so would you please be quiet about it? I put the mature rating for a reason after all
