At her Desire's Mercy

Deep Sleep

Previous Chapter

As Starlight led the mares out of the train, Luna struggled with the pounding in her skull, having to hold her head in her hands for a few moments. Once it subsided, she sighed and ran her fingers through her loose starry mane before standing up. She gave herself a once over through her reflection in the window. The torn, jagged edge of her pencil skirt reached midway down through her thighs, and her midriff was exposed below the loose strands of her button-up crop tank top. On a whim she struck a pose, sticking out her fat ass and large tits. Then she frowned, feeling like something was wrong. No time to dwell on it though, she was already late.

The familiar taste of magic was in her mouth as she set foot in the Empire, even if the flavour was slightly different. She didn't really pay attention to it, she'd gotten used to it. She was far more interested in the mare who came to greet Starlight on the platform, heavily pregnant and wearing only a blue cape with a star motif and a set of large round glasses, behind which her eyes shone with a peculiar light. "Starlight," she said, "it's good to see you again."

"I missed you too, Sunny." Starlight leaned down towards the other mare's large round belly and softly ran a hand over its taut surface. "Stars, this is so hot. I can't wait to look like this." Her other hand came to rest on her own belly, and then briefly lower, teasing her folds.

Sunny looked over the rest of the mares there, and her eyes lingered on the griffon among them for a moment. "I see you took some liberties regarding the King's request."

Starlight stood straight again. "She happened to be around and I just had to get her too. Isn't she so cute?"

"She is. I'm sure the King will be pleased with her presence, but you still disobeyed his orders. He's going to punish you for that, I'd wager." Starlight didn't react to that. Sunny cleared her throat and stepped forward, addressing the rest of the group. "Greetings, everyone, and welcome to the Empire. My name is Sunny, and I'm here to help lead all of you to our King. If you will follow me, the Royal Palace is this way." She turned and led the way out of the station.

Luna fell in step behind her, halfway down the group, and had a look around at the citizens of the Empire. The crystal ponies all bore cheerful expressions as they went about their days, scantily clad in all manners of revealing clothing, the mares especially. Starlight approached her as they walked, no doubt noticing where her attention was drawn. "Once a month, in the city he currently resides in, our King will host a parade to allow his subjects to witness his greatness," she explained. "He'll usually pick a few mares from the crowd to join him when he does, so the citizens know to keep themselves prepared for it, and they make sure to always look their best in hopes of being chosen."

Luna nodded without really paying much attention, though she did register Starlight's words about their King and his greatness. They echoed in her head as her eyes landed on a large sculpture in the middle of the square. What had once been Spike's statue had now been replaced with one of Shining Armor. He was depicted sitting on his throne, a crown on his head and his huge cock at full mast, with two faceless mares kneeling at his sides and reverently cradling his balls. The crystal the statue was carved out of seemed to glow with a light of its own.

Starlight noticed how Luna was staring, and moved up to whisper something to Sunny. The orange unicorn stopped walking and so did the group following her, and Starlight spoke to them. "Let us take this time to gaze upon the image of our King's magnificence and soak in his glory," she suggested, before turning towards the statue and staring intently at it. The other girls all did the same, and Luna did as well, or at least stopped hiding the fact that she was already doing exactly that.

She stared deeply at it. At the mares' submissive postures and sexualised bodies, at the King's muscled physique and huge cock, at his commanding, determined expression. Something clicked inside of her. Like a stack of photos falling over itself under a gust of wind, pictures and images tumbled rapidly through her mind. Mares submitting to Shining, serving him, offering themselves to him. Bodies writhing in pleasure, voices moaning in ecstasy, wills bent and fucked into shape by his power and cock. She grit her teeth to suppress a moan, and pressed her thighs together as her nethers burned. She had to do something about it.

Staggering away from the group, only half paying attention to making sure she wasn't followed, Luna made her way to the closest back alley she could find. Once she'd had one more look behind her, she pressed herself against a wall and let all her tension vent out of her mouth with a hiss. One hand dug beneath her ruined blouse and bra to pinch and twist at her nipples with her polished nails, and the other pulled her sodden panties aside to plunge into her sex.

The images kept flashing before her eyes, the sounds kept filling her ears, even the smells kept assaulting her nostrils. All those mares cumming for Shining. His cock, his body, his aura. Their pussies and asses and throats stretched around his shaft, every part of their bodies used as nothing more than a tool for his pleasure. An existence of obedience and ecstasy. His piercing eyes burrowing into her very soul. His firm voice calling her names and demanding her submission, and her breathy, quivering acceptance.

Her fingers moved faster and faster within her pussy, two at a time, then three, then all four while the thumb worked her throbbing clit. Her nipples were painfully stiff, aching beneath her abuse, but the pain only made it feel better. She bit down on her cheeks, but that only partly succeeded in suppressing the loud moan lifting from deep within her chest. Sweat matted her coat and her breath quickened, heart pounding in her chest. She was so close. So close, so close, so-

"There you are!"

Luna jolted and fell back over herself, her hands sliding out of her clothes and her orgasm slipping out of reach. Embarrassed, blushing and panting, she pulled herself back up and adjusted her short skirt to cover her thighs. She stammered out an apology. "I'm sorry, I... I don't... I don't know what came over me, it..."

Starlight gave a dismissive wave of her hand. "Nothing to apologise for, Luna. That's the natural reaction to witnessing our King, especially if it's your first time. See?" She nodded towards the other end of the alley, and Luna saw another one of the Ponyville mares, a burgundy earth pony with a two-tone pink mane, panting and shuddering as she came down from her orgasm. "Come on now, it's time to go."

Luna, still more than a little dazed, followed Starlight and the other mare back to the group. The rest of the way to the palace passed in a blur, with Luna's thoughts still dancing around the memories of the depravity she'd witnessed and her loins still aching for the orgasm she'd been denied. She found her eyes drawn briefly to the Crystal Heart as they passed it, all her thoughts melting as she stared into its light. But as quickly as it came, the moment passed and they were inside the Crystal Palace.

"Come with me to meet our King," Starlight called, leading the mares and griffon she'd gathered in Ponyville down a corridor. Luna, however, was approached by Sunny, who stopped her and led her down a different hallway instead.

"I don't understand," Luna said. "I thought I had come here to meet the King."

"And meet him you will, when the time is right," Sunny replied. She walked with her hands over her round belly, and moved somewhat slowly on account of its size. "But he feels a meeting between the two of you needs his full time and attention, and he'd rather wait until morning comes so he can fully dedicate himself to you. Besides, you need to raise the Moon, and you should rest in preparation for your meeting with him."

They arrived at a guest room and Sunny led Luna inside, then excused herself and left. By the way she walked, Luna expected her due date to not be particularly far. She sat on the bed, finding it rather comfortable, and looked out the window at the sky above. She'd gotten so caught up and distracted by her search she'd failed to properly appreciate the passage of time. It was almost night, and the Moon did, indeed, need to rise. Closing her eyes, Luna reached out to the satellite beneath the horizon and pulled on it, setting it on its way across the heavens for the night just as her sister in Canterlot lowered the Sun. At least that way, they both knew the other was still okay.

With her duties taken care of, Luna took off her shoes and laid herself over the bed. She stared at the ceiling, letting the darkness roll in from the city outside. The quiet helped her think, after so much time spent rushing around and tumbling through things. She was there to meet Shining and get to the bottom of things, yes, but she was also there to find Twilight. If what Starlight had said was true, the young alicorn had to be right there in the Empire, and Luna thought it was in her best interest to check for her presence one more time and make sure she was okay.

She closed her eyes once again, and entered the dreaming. The space around her was the most warped she'd ever seen it; her own troubled state of mind didn't help matters either. Despite all that, she could still perceive the dream in front of her, and she was shocked to see it was Twilight's. Hardly believing her luck, she stumbled forward through the blurry dreamspace and all but fell inside Twilight's mind once she was close enough to it.

The scene she was presented with resolved itself with unusual clarity, lacking the more warped and undefined edges of typical dreams. She supposed it made sense for a mind as logical as Twilight's to dream like that, and she gladly welcomed the solidity of the vision around her, clinging to it to help stabilise her own drifting mind. The environment was familiar, further solidifying it was indeed Twilight's dream. Twilight's own castle, just as she'd found it in Ponyville, with its buzzing glowing crystal walls. She had a look around, quickly spotting the dreamer as well as the presence that had become all too familiar to her in recent times, plus a few more.

She wasn't even phased by Twilight's appearance after everything she'd seen already. The young alicorn was wholly naked, save for a collar around her neck and piercings on her nipples, capping tits that were definitely bigger than they had been last Luna had seen her. There was something like a glowing mark within her eyes, a shape Luna couldn't quite make out. Shining was beside her, naked but for the jewelled bands around his cock, openly and possessively groping Twilight's round ass with a hand. Luna's attention was quickly drawn, however, to the other two unicorns there, whom she recognised despite being only passingly familiar with them.

"I am so glad to see both of my kids again," Twilight's mother said, beaming at the naked couple before her. She looked entirely okay with the fact that her children were fully undressed, and clearly loving each other in ways siblings shouldn't. Twilight had one hand on her pussy and the other on Shining's cock, and that was just fine for her mum.

Their father was equally as serene about the whole thing. "It has been a while, eh?" he said, like it was just a casual family meeting. "So, what have you been up to lately?"

Shining spoke, and Luna's gaze was immediately drawn to him. Looking closer, there appeared to be a connection between his horn and Twilight's, like a stream of magic flowing from one to the other. She took in his words, his voice as strong and commanding as she'd grown to know it. "I've finally embraced my rightful role as King of Equestria, and I'm working towards ensuring I can fully claim the throne. Cadance helped me realise my destiny, and my dear sister just recently came to accept her role as my slave and concubine." He slipped a finger into Twilight's ass at that, making her shiver and moan. "The Empire and Ponyville are mine already, and soon enough Canterlot will fall, and with it the rest of the country."

His mother took that in stride. "King of Equestria? Oh, sweetie, you've always been such an overachiever. I wish you the best. And Twilight, I'm so happy you have found your place. I always knew you two were destined to do great things together." She leaned forward and hugged both of them.

"Thank you, mother," Shining said. "Now, there is actually one more reason I had you called here. I have a proposal for you. If you will follow me to the throne room, we shall discuss the details there." He turned without waiting and led the way down the corridor, pulling on Twilight's leash. His parents fell in line behind him, and so did Luna, as the confines of the dream moved to follow Twilight.

The walk to the throne room was brief and quiet. Once they entered, though, things got a lot more busy. Over a dozen mares were there, all with softly glinting marks within their eyes, and as Shining stepped in they flocked to him like starving dogs to their meal. The Element Bearers were all present, along with Starlight, a heavily pregnant Cadance, and a generous handful of mares Luna was not familiar with. They converged on Shining and began to worship him in all manners of ways, tonguing his cock and balls and muscles and ass, pressing themselves against his body, and mewling like loving pets while drooling like a bunch of bitches in heat, from both sets of lips.

He enjoyed their attention for a while, much as his parents seemed to enjoy watching this apparent accomplishment with pride, but then a wave of his hand had all of them pulling back, albeit with some difficulty, and leaving him with as much space as he needed. He turned to his mother and approached her, shamelessly groping her breasts through her clothes. Her reaction was to blush and push her chest into his hand, like what he was doing was normal. Like it was right. "Mother," he began, "there is something I must tell you.

"As you can see, and surely understand by now, I am the rightful ruler of Equestria, and the pinnacle of our species. Once all four alicorns are under my control, Equestria will prosper at my command, and exist for the sake of my pleasure. While some of my slaves will be by their nature as immortal as I, others I have chosen to keep with me through the centuries by granting them rejuvenation through the power of my sorcery." He moved closer and began to tear his mother's clothes off with his hands and magic, soon leaving her entirely naked. Her body was aged, and a little pudgy, with medium sized, slightly saggy breasts, and wide but not all too shapely hips. Her nipples were stiff under his touch, and her pussy was damp between her thighs. Luna could feel her body was in much the same state, and she felt tempted to touch herself once more at his casual display of sexual domination and at the taboo nature of his actions.

Shining continued. "You, dear mother, would be among them. As would you, father." He gave a brief look to his dad before focusing back on his mother. One of his fingers slid into her mouth, and he began moving it in and out of her lips. "You were responsible for bringing me into this world, and it's only right for me to repay you with a life of eternal happiness at my side. It is also right that I make you mine, just as I have claimed my sister and will one day claim my daughters." He pressed his cock against her belly and reached behind her to grope her ass.

"Moreover, I know that like all others you are a mare with needs. I remember the screams of pleasure and the loudness of your fucking when you conceived my sister, and how foolishly I found myself troubled by it as a child. I know you crave the pleasure and roughness only a strong, powerful stallion like myself can provide." He spread her asscheeks with his hands, and bit down on her horn, making her shudder and moan. Then his voice grew deep and primal, like a growl. "This is where my offer comes in.

"I will have daughters. Many of them, as I continue to claim every mare I please as rightfully mine. I will need someone to look after them. Someone to teach them how to live as citizens of my kingdom. Someone to show them how I am the purpose of their existence. The perfect mother for all of my children. Who better than you?" He possessively wrapped a hand around her neck. "This is my offer. Take your role by my side as guide to all my daughters, and I shall reward you with life eternal, and endless pleasure as my concubine. Do you accept?"

Shining's mother was already moaning before his question was finished. "My son. My King. I accept. I would do anything for you." Her eyes were glassy, and her tone airy.

A predatory grin spread on Shining's lips. "Very well." Suddenly, he hoisted her up, and pressed her back against a wall. With her legs slung over his shoulders, he aligned himself, then plunged the full length and girth of his bejewelled cock into her wet and waiting hole. His mother screamed in ecstasy as he spread her wide, throwing her head back against the glowing crystal behind her and wrapping her calves around his neck like she was trying to keep him there. Then, Shining began to thrust.

His mother's moans rose in pitch and frequency as he hammered the hole he'd been born from, all the while every other member of his harem touched herself at the sight. His hands went to her tits, kneading them and twisting her nipples while the strength of his fucking alone kept her pinned against the wall. He mercilessly pressed her into it, using the castle itself like an anvil on which to shatter every last bit of her resistance and sanity until pleasure was all that was left in her body and mind. His mother's pussy gushed around his cock, and he did not relent.

Then, in the middle of his pounding, he leaned his head forward to join his horn with hers. He forced a kiss on her lips, pushing his tongue deep into her mouth and making her moan around it, and then magic flashed from the tip of his horn. It arced between them like sparks of lightning, filling the air with a crackling sound. His mother's reaction was to scream into his mouth as her whole body seized up, shuddering through an orgasm that seemed endless.

Shining kept pounding into her, kissing her, and casting his spell. His mother's eyes were awash in white light, and her pussy would not stop gushing around Shining's cock. Her arms were limp at her sides and her nipples looked painfully stiff. Her breathing had grown irregular, and she was screaming in pleasure most of the time. Luna found herself captivated and aroused, hands drifting to her pussy and tits without her really thinking about it. She'd never seen a spell like that, leaving a mare so utterly dominated in ways she didn't even understand. Neither had she ever seen a dream so perfectly detailed.

Her eyes wandered over Shining's body. He looked like someone had given life to the statue of a god, his marble body carved and chiselled to perfection. Every one of his muscles was bulging with evident, unimaginable strength. The sheer amount of magical power he exuded was palpable when stepping close enough to him, washing over Luna like a strong wind as she approached. She caught glimpses of his cock as it rapidly slid in and out of his mother, and of his large, round balls underneath. Looking at them clearly, the purple gem inlaid within the golden ornament he wore was unmistakable, leaving little doubt as to the nature of the remaining five jewels along the length of his shaft.

Finally, after what had to have been minutes of it, Shining's horn stopped glowing. His mother slowly came back to her senses, at least as much as she could while being brutally fucked by her son, but it didn't last long. After a few particularly hard thrusts, Shining slammed his hips forward and held them there, cock as deep into his mother as it would go. Luna saw his huge balls tensing up, and it felt to her like she could hear, or at least sense, the fat loads of cum travelling up his shaft and painting his mother's insides. The mare screamed, this time for all to hear as Shining's mouth left her own, and once more she sprayed his crotch with her juices as she came.

With a satisfied smirk, and after pumping more cum in her than Luna had ever thought possible for a single stallion, Shining pulled back and let his mother slide down against the wall. She landed on her knees, a completely sex-drunk expression on her face, and didn't even try to get up. Instead she immediately dove for Shining's cock and balls, filling her lungs with his musk before trying to take his fat nuts in her mouth while jerking him off with one hand and pleasuring her slit with the other, fresh cum dripping down her fingers. As Luna got a proper look at her eyes after they'd stopped glowing and rolled back into place, she could see a brand flashing bright within them, one she understood was a mark of submission.

Shining's father looked absolutely delighted by it all. "That's my boy!" Luna heard him say.

His voice seemed to catch Shining's attention, and he stopped merely looking down at his mother and turned towards the rest of his harem instead. "Ah, father. What should I do with you? I confess, I haven't really decided on that yet. You should be mine, obviously. All members of my family belong to me. And you do deserve to be kept alive, on account of helping bring me into the world.

"Should I have you made into a mare, then, and kept as part of my harem?" Shining pondered that, rubbing his chin. He looked between his mares, his mother, and his father, who was still smiling nonchalantly. Finally, he shook his head. "No, that just would not work out." He sighed. "What shall I do with you, then? I really am not sure."

It was then that Twilight spoke up. "If I may, my King, dad did use to work in management. Maybe he could help you take care of logistics, so you'd have more time to focus on the important stuff." The way she said that, it was clear she meant herself and her friends.

Shining thought about that. "Hmm. I could..." His voice faded to silence. The castle and ponies around them melted away. Luna was alone in an empty space, with Shining standing before her, staring at her. "I could do the same to you." She awoke with a gasp.
