CHAPTER 7

Memories of the past

“You will always lose,” Nightmare Moon smirked as I was thrown against a stone wall. Growling I looked up at the nightmare as she smugly strutted over to my beaten form. The high click of heels striking the stone tiles as I prepared myself.

CRACK

In a flash of lightning the figure of Nightmare Moon disintegrated as the familiar form of Princess Luna materialized behind the beast. Her hair swayed gently in the dim room as I looked at her in confusion and fear.

“Greetings Lachlan,” she smiled, offering me a hand as I hesitantly took it. The scene of the castle slowly dematerialized as we were left floating in space. My eyes looked on in wonder as I found myself above Equestria. Looking down I could not help but marvel at its beauty as Luna stood silently beside me.

“It’s stunning…” I replied looking at it with childish wonder as the more silently nodded.

“The dream world has always been one of my favorite places to go when stressed,” she replied nodding to me as my eyes started to narrow. “I am guessing that you are wondering how I am here and more to the point why I am here?” she noted as I gave a stiff nod.

“That would be great to know, thank you very much,” I replied as she chuckled quietly.

“You see Lachlan, you are in a coma and have been for countless weeks now. Your friends have grown more and more worried at the lack of progress in your natural ability to heal. That is of no surprise to me given how close to Death’s doorstep you were after the… events that lead to your current predicament. The only thing that kept you alive were blood replenishing potions along with the magical combined efforts of Twilight and thyself…” She took a step closer to me, her hand shakily reaching up to my cheek as I stared at her expressionlessly.

Gently, she rubbed my cheek, her eyes closing as I subconsciously leaned into her warm touch. “I’m… I’m sorry for what happened to you, Lachlan… despite our less than friendly demeanor at times, I never wanted you to suffer through that…” Luna confessed quietly as she looked me straight in the eye.

I pulled away from her touch, eyes narrowing at her. “That’s kind of hypocritical considering you chose the punishment” I sneered as she grimaced.

Luna bit her lip as she silently pleaded to me with her eyes. “I… I honestly though that Celestia would only use the standard whip. The Black Rose whip was banned from practice long before I was even banished. It is a horrible device that even my alter ego took fun in using on those who defied her. Whilst the damage can be healed, the pain that it causes can affect the victim for months. No amount of numbing potions or spells can negate the effects of Black Rose,” She explained evenly, sighing quietly at the end.

My fist clenched as I tried to think through my frustration. “Don’t worry about me, Princess… it’s just… this has to end!” I snapped as she paused, looking at me in confusion as I looked at her seriously. “The segregation towards stallions cannot be allowed to continue. I am but a small example of what others of my gender face every day for the past millennium. Surely even you understand the feeling of always being lesser to someone else,” I whispered the last part as her eyes narrowed dangerously.

“What? How dare you! How dare you try to even insinuate that I would try to usurp my sister!? I should kill thy for that!” She growled, reverting back to the old English as I held my hands up defensively.

“No! That’s not what I mean at all! What I’m trying to say is that you should convince your sister to allow stallions more rights, to no longer be subjected to the cruelty of mares through tortures, slavery, amongst the many other… disgusting things they do. Please, I understand that the last thing you’d want to do is waltz up there to the throne and demand for the rights of many… I may not be too… fond of you, I need your help if I want to accomplish this. Please, Princess Luna, if not for me, at least do this for our son,” I pleaded as Luna stood there quietly.

“He will be royalty, he would be fine,” She replied softly as I gave her a sad smile and shook my head.

“That may be true, but do you really want another Blueblood on our hands?” I inquired as she grimaced at the thought of the disgusting stallion.

“N-no, of course not…” she whispered as I nodded in satisfaction.

“I am not asking you to betray your sister, so please don’t mention this to her. I need to research heavily into the whole affair before I even consider asking her, otherwise she will destroy me with knowledge and experience,” I pleaded, licking my lips nervously as Luna gave me a hard look.

Her expression softened. “Very well Lachlan, I will hold my tongue for the mean time, but hear me now if you so much as hint at trying to hurt my subjects or my sister… I will destroy you, first physically, and then mentally,” she snarled as I nodded in agreement.

“It’s a deal then,” I smiled, holding my hand out as she hesitantly shook hands with me.

Nothing else was said as everything slowly faded to nothing.

“Uh,” I groaned as I licked my dry lips, blearily wiping away the sleep from my eyes as a yawn escaped. Muted popping resounded around my body as my joints popped painfully back into place, a pathetic whimper scratching at my throat. Pain suddenly radiated from my back as I cried into the pillow beneath me, waiting for the pain to die down.

“La-Lachlan,” A voice whispered as I realized I was not alone in bed. Looking up, I genuinely smiled as my favorite red haired mare gently embraced me.

“Florenza,” I croaked out weakly as I nuzzled into her chest, not caring that I was rubbing face against her breasts. I was honestly just glad that she was okay.

“Did that bastard try anything?” I rasped as the mare shifted herself so I was resting on top of her soft body.

Florenza sighed and shook her head. “After what happened? No, not at all, but I’ve been hearing rumors that he plans to “add” Fluttershy and I to his harem. I… I don’t like the sound of this at all and I feel like we’re all in danger…” She whispered worriedly.

I kissed her softly on the nose and held onto her as deep, painful coughs wracked my body as I struggled to breathe. It hurt so much to do anything, but it was worth it to see her unharmed. “I-it’s… nothing… that bastard ain’t gonna come near us if he… knows what’s good for him.” I rasped.

Arguing just outside the room caught our attention. From what I could make out, it sounded like Twilight and that cunt, Princess Celestia.

“Princess you are being unfair! Please listen to me, you can’t d—” I heard Twilight shout defensively before being interrupted.

“SILENCE! You will remember your place Twilight Sparkle. He is as of now my sister’s responsibility and property!” Celestia barked as Florenza’s eyes widened in horror. Princess Celestia marched into the room, her face adorning a soft, patient smile as she looked at me.

“Ah, it’s good to see that you are awake,” She smiled as her hand all too suggestively slid across my leg. Florenza laid me down on the bed before getting up, a soft growl in back of her throat as she attempted to confront the princess. Quickly, I grabbed her hand and shook my head, watching as her temper deflated into sorrow and bitterness.

Princess Celestia seemed to act as though nothing happened at all. “While I’m glad to see that you are awake and would certainly love to let you properly recover, you are as of now need to see my sister. She is entering her final month of pregnancy and requires a stallion’s help.” If the twisted grin plastered on her face was anything to go by, I knew I wasn’t going to like this at all.

Before Florenza could even voice her opinion, she had been escorted out of the room none to gently by the guards as she struggled against their hold, glaring daggers at the princess the entire way. Eventually, her voice died down as they took her away; leaving me alone with the all-powerful sun god.

“But of course were you to comply with me and serve your princess and mate, I could see to it that Blueblood does not touch a hair on Florenza’s head,” she replied as I gasped, looking at her in horror.

“Blackmail? Really princess Celestia? I expected better of you,” I croaked as she smiled gently unperturbed by my accusation.

“I mean no such thing. I mean that we would offer you both a room here in the castle should you agree to do as you're told and see to my sister’s needs and be of good company,” She finished as I weighed my options. In my current condition, there was no way I could really leave the castle. Personally, I’d rather tell her to go fuck herself, but I cared about Florenza’s safety first and foremost so I nodded stiffly.

“When do I begin?” I questioned as she raised an eyebrow at me. “Your majesty?” I growled as she smiled pleasantly.

“Now,” she smiled sweetly as she pulled me to my feet. Agony washed over me as a deep bout of nausea, pain and heat sent my head spinning as I stumbled forth and collapsed against the mare; my hands groping her large bottom. She blushed softly before smirking cruelly.

“You only just got the job, and already you plan to cheat on my sister with me no less,” She cooed teasingly as she grabbed me, her horn glowing brightly as the feeling of air sickness struck me.

“Wha, where the fuck are we?” I demanded as the mare clicked her fingers a light yellow barrier surrounding the room as I gulped.

“Time for a bit of fun,” she smirked as I gasped.

I clenched a pillow close to my chest as the mare beside me sighed in relief, eying me up and down as I shivered. My body quivered as I tried to contain the pain, disgust and humiliation that I had just incurred.

“Damn you are good,” she chuckled, her arm roughly wrapping me in a hug as I tried to push her away. “Our deal is finalized, serve Luna and we will give you and Florenza protection from anypony,” she cruelly offered as I moaned weakly in response.

My body was screaming as I tried to move away. I was trapped, too fatigued to move as my pelvis throbbed from the weight of the far larger mare.

“Lachlan did that bitch hurt you?” she growled as her nostrils flared. I silently thanked Celestia for letting me have a shower before leaving. I could only collapse against Florenza from sheer exhaustion as she cried out in surprise, dropping to the floor as she supported me.

“It hurts,” I whimpered as the mare held me, my body shaking as I cried into her shoulder. She hummed softly gently as I poured out my grief and frustration. “I c-can’t let this happen to… anyone else. I will bring change… even if it kills me,” I whispered venomously between sobs as the mare picked me up, escorting me to a vacant guest room as she gently laid me down. I should not have been allowed out of hospital but Celestia had forced the doctors to eject me. That by itself put a damper on my recovery rate if the mere act of standing hurting beyond all belief was of any proof. My paranoia was absolutely nerve wracking as thoughts of her wanting me weak to further push me around haunted my mind.

I steadied my breathing, cuddling against the Pegasus as she gently wrapped her wings around me. “Florenza, I need to train. I can't do anything at the moment, but as soon as I’m better I have to start training both physically and mentally. I was too rash and could have gotten you killed with my actions. I need to learn to control my magic as well. The lightning that I have is good, but I don't have any control over it apart from when I’m stressed and even then it’s still unstable. If I get into a fight I can’t just rely on my strength and dodgy magic, I need to be in control and have a backup plan,” I rasped, my throat sore from talking.

“Lachlan, I can teach you how to wield a sword as well as some martial arts, but if you truly want to be a good warrior, you need balance, sweetie. Mental, physical, and spiritual balance are the three most important things for a good warrior. Without them, they’re just a savage running about on their luck. “ Florenza explained calmly.

I nodded and kissed her cheek to which she nuzzled me in return.

“Okay, but just so you know, I plan on sulking first,” I smiled, trying to hide the numbness and disgust I felt at myself as Celestia’s moans plagued my thoughts. The mare had enjoyed raping me way too much as well as trying to make out that it was consensual. I knew that this would not be the last time I ended up in her bed but for the assured safety of Florenza I would pay it.

It had been horrible and I had felt severely violated as well as suffered a major anxiety attack, but it was not nearly as bad as Nightmare Moon had been. Don't get me wrong I will most likely have nasty nightmares about this as well as mental problems but hopefully I would learn to deal with it at least until I could gain enough support and backing to tie the bitches hands.

I honestly would take no greater pleasure than to wrap my hands around her throat and experience the pleasure of seeing her choke. To watch as her eyes dulled as life left her body her twitching form going still as I stood triumphantly over her wicked form. But for the moment I can only dream.

Florenza nuzzled up to me as I sighed, my usual tense reaction to physical contact none existent when around her. With the threat of becoming the white Alicorn’s fuck toy looking like a strong possibility, I at least could rely on Florenza for support even if she had no idea of deal I had made with the devil for her safety.

Recovery for me was agonizingly slow both time wise and pain. The only thing that made it bearable was Luna volunteering to tutor me in both the history of Equestria but modern politics on her part.

“Lachlan glad you could join us,” Luna smiled as she welcomed me inside I found myself nervously entering as the giddy mare made me uncomfortable. “Please make yourself at home,” she smiled as I took a seat my hands coming to rest on the large table as the more sat across from me.

“Now I understand that you wanted to learn about the history of Equestria as well as the reason behind the lack of stallions. I am sure that Twilight filled you in on the watered down version where the three tribes united under the unity of friendship” she questioned as I gave a swift nod.

“Yeah but what does that have to do with anything,” replied looking at the mare as she smiled.

“Well young Lachlan, you see this is not the first time that our kind has met. Back before the events leading to hearth's warming eve, there ruled a tyrant far worse than any that had ever come before or have come since. His name was Tirek; you see Tirek had fallen in love with a pretty earth pony that lived close to his castle. But sadly when he went to confess his love he was distraught to see that she had already found a mate. In a fit of rage he used his demonic power to place a crippling spell on all pony kind. The spell caused the chances of a male foal being born to be significantly less than a filly. Sadly we lived in an era where the life expectancy of our race was rather small. Sadly more stallions were dying than being born. “

“Luckily for us a hero came forth a human with incredible raw magic and in one final battle struck down the centaur. Tirek was banished to the deepest levels of Tartarus never to return. With his work done the human simply vanished becoming nothing more than myth,” taking a pause she looked at me with pained eyes as I nodded for her to continue.

“Sadly, with Tirek’s defeat his general, a revered necromancer named Grogar, declared war on us hoping to gain an easy victory over a half starved nation. Our already battered race was once again tested. During this time the stallion population was less than thirty percent of the overall population. Many mares that had only served as mere housewives or at the most low ranking grunts now found themselves in high places of power.

We barely managed to defeat the mad ram in which the elements of harmony were first used. The elements were said to have been a gift left behind by the hero stored for safekeeping in case they were ever required. At the end of the war our population which had once been in the millions, had now been whittled down to a measly two hundred thousand. Sadly with there no time to work on Tirek’s curse, it mutated becoming genetic and by a large extent irreversible.

By this point we were a dying race as well as at war with one another. When Ram perished many of his unholy troops were still active. Our crops were ravaged by Windigos, whilst our people were picked off by dragons and the unholy beasts that roamed, raping the once bountiful land,” she gave me an uneasy look as I took this time to ask a question.

“So how did the pony species survive?” I asked bristling with curiosity as she gave me a gentle smile

“If there was one thing about us was that we were stubborn. With ponies numbers dwindling by day we were forced to evacuate our home. We sailed overseas losing many to the elements as well as to predators and even gryphons. Finally we arrived in Equestria a place untouched by the evils of Tirek or Grogar. We thought that we had finally found a place where we could recover and thrive. Sadly though, conflicts of interest sparked up again as each race wanted to claim superiority over the others. Sadly, like sharks to blood, the Windigos quickly followed the negative and feelings of hate. It was at this time that our species were forced to unite not out of friendship but desperation as we risked losing the few stallions and colts remaining.” Luna bowed her head respectfully, in memory of those who died I guess.

“At this time my sister and I were still living in the woods with our mother. For you see Alicorns were once a powerful race but like the common ponies we too were no match for Tirek who targeted us first when he first came to power. Our mother fled with us whom were only fillies at the time and retreated to the Everfree Forest. Growing up was not fun as we lived little more than the poorest of peasants living off the land and what our measly collection of animals could provide. The forest was no cake walk, infested with everything from minor demons to the dreaded basilisks as well as shades. There were many close calls where my own stubborn pride nearly got me killed were it not for mother. Unknown to us that the ponies had finally defeated Tirek as well as found peace here in Equestria,” taking a moment to collect her thoughts I quickly jumped in with a stream of questions.

“If you were living in peace then how did Stallions end up with the shit end of the stick?” I demanded as she grimaced at the disgusting analogy.

She shook her head and continued. “I will get to that in a minute, you see tragedy struck me and my sister when our mother was ambushed and subsequently killed by a large concentration of demons. Barely out of our teen years, we were forced to leave the forest and our home. We were greeted by the sights of ponies living oppressed under the fallen alicorn known as Titus. After discovering the true meaning of friendship, were we able to locate and harness the elements of harmony and confront the tyrant.”

Luna rubbed her stomach gently as I saw it stretch slightly from the foal’s kicking. “The battle was fierce and we lost many soldiers against his army of frost giants and shades. Despite our humble upbringing we were still young. Once we learned that we on our own could move the sun and the moon without the other ponies we grew arrogant as well as nasty. The population of ponies had started to recover but sadly stallions found themselves slightly under mares when it came to rights. They could not join the army and were not allowed to do anything that put pressure on them,”

I sighed, shaking my head at the unfair treatment despite some of the necessity behind it.

“We at the time treated them like fragile foals for fear that we would lose them and doom our race. The true inequality came when King Sombra rose to power. Usurping my niece’s parents, he brutally slaughtered them, before declaring war on us. At the time we had all but exhausted ourselves with overseeing the construction of the original castle in Everfree Forest. We also had to deal with the extermination of all evil creatures that resided within Everfree,”

“Because of King Sombra, we lost our largest population of stallions whom resided in the crystal empire. This enraged my sister and in a moment of rage, she forbid stallions to vote and even deducted their rights. As a consequence this allowed mares to exploit the many loopholes in the law to sell buy, rape as well as torture stallions,” She explained with a grim expression.

“King Sombra sounds like a total fucking nob. Killing stallions when he himself is one and more than aware of the issue that had been plaguing the land?” I face palmed at the stupidity of the supposed king.

Luna merely ignored me before continuing. “King Sombra was soon banished but sadly not before he had sowed the seeds of doubt in me. I grew jealous when my sister was always being praised as the savior of Equestria whilst I was given little more than a glance over the shoulder. Due to my guards being made up of a new species nicknamed bat ponies it meant that I became more nocturnal due to my duties. This caused ponies to fear me as well as portray me as a monster. Assassination attempts were even made on me, which in my state did nothing to help me. More and more I started to speculate that it was my own sister. “

Her eyes misted over, her lower lip quivering as she continued. “I became so bitter and twisted that one day I snapped, blasting the castle in two before declaring all-out war on my sister. I had of course in my foolishness declared that any stallion that fought for me or joined my cause would be awarded equal rights. My own petty grudge nearly brought my species like so many times before to extinction. Our battles crossed all of Equestria and the death toll was sickening,”

“Finally my sister and a small group of friends faced me down, only for me to slaughter them leaving the two of us alone. I never expected my sister to be able to wield all six elements at once and in my maddened state I failed to notice until it was too late for me. In the end the rules of stallion oppression never ended for fear that they would be more vulnerable to the world when we are still in dire need of a constant supply of stallions to keep our species going,”

Luckily, a scientist apparently found ways for two mares to produce offspring though genetics and manipulation of the mare pheromones. This allowed us to merge two eggs with the only downside being that they could only produce a filly” Sighing the mare took a deep breath, her long history lesson finished as I made sure to note down every crucial part of the story. I was left with many unanswered questions, like why didn’t they isolate the Y chromosome, or why they didn’t revert the laws now.”

“I understand that you are frustrated but you must see that the “sexism” as you call it that you see was done out of need rather than spite it was spiteful ponies that made it spiteful.” She spoke up as I nodded.

“But that can’t be allowed to continue there is no longer a need for the silly laws” I stated as she gave a soft smile.

“I know but remember that if you are as determined as you seem to want to change Equestria it’s the nobles you have to win over not us,” she laughed as I sighed slouching as she smacked me.

“No slouching,” she growled as I groaned. Sadly for me, my next task was fencing and sword practice with Florenza.

“Yield!” Florenza barked, her blade at my throat as I instantly dropped mine while sweat dripped down my face. Her serious demeanor did not once break as she pushed me back, kicking the blade towards me as I growled at her. Never did I think I would hate her as much as I did as she mercilessly thrashed me over and over again.

“Bien... muy bien... You’re anger keeps you motivated, but don’t let that blind you, Lachlan,” She warned, putting one arm behind her back as she poised her sword towards me.

Gripping my blade I slowly circled her, my smaller size and speed being my only advantage against her patience, skill, and reach. I experimentally jabbed at her side, the mare effortlessly deflecting it as she jumped at me. Quickly, I rolled to the ground my back exploding in pain as I dropped my blade and writhed in agony. Blood dripped from my mouth as I wheezed loudly for air. Florenza looked at me with sorrow as I shakily got to my feet. Shakily gripping the sword in my hand I nodded for her to continue.

Florenza eyed me up before sheathing her sword and walking towards me, holding me up gently as she sheathed my sword for me. “H-hey... I can still... fight!” I complained weakly. I took a half assed swing before collapsing gasping for air as the Florenza shook her head.

She smiled softly, leaning down and kissing my forehead as she picked me up, holding me close to her chest as she brought me to Luna’s private chambers to be attended to by her doctors.

“I would have won that fight, you were just scared of arse kicking techniques,” I mumbled as the mare laughed.

“Yes because the swinging your sword wildly method or the rolling on the ground in agony worked so well,” she replied sarcastically as I playfully swatted her nose.

“You didn't do too badly though,” she complimented as Luna watched us with a neutral expression. Luna had only agreed to help us out because she felt guilt for my horrendous injuries and as a way of paying us back for being her personal servants. Though we really didn't have to do anything. Luna had given Florenza permission to train me as well as look after me.

“Place him on the bed,” Luna sighed as the doctors swarmed around me checking my vitals as I groaned exasperatedly. The procedure was as follows give me a couple of hours of rest, make sure I was alright before slapping me on the arse and sending me on my way.

“Jesus! I told you I was okay!” I shouted at the persistent mare as she continued to fuss over me.

“Coughing up blood is not okay, you idiot,” she spat as I huffed ignoring her as she muttered behind me.

“Lachlan you keep losing control, you have to keep focused otherwise you put us all at risk. Stop being so impulsive and FOCUS!” Twilight groaned as for the eighteenth time I failed to properly levitate the stupid apple in front of me.

“Its fucking hard,” I bitched growing more frustrated as for the past week I had tried and failed to make any progress. I had actually learned how to do things like summon weak spouts of fire and how to use my lightning without singing my arm off but actually using them for combat was out the question. I was too weak magically, as well as inexperienced to use anything I had learned yet. Twilight despite her impatience had been a good teacher as well as company for when Florenza was seeing to Luna. The beige mare had been less than pleased to hear the deal and Fluttershy had been heartbroken, but the two had in the end if not grudgingly accepted that Florenza and I were practically maids.

Despite my many failures, it had come as a good humbling experience. Florenza explained to me that the reason she had lost the fight with Gilda, was a mixture of the gryphon attacking from behind as well as her being slightly rusty. I had of course laughed at this finding it funny that a so called soldier of her country hated seeing blood and was naturally gentle. Together the three mares were slowly shaping me into what I wanted to achieve. If I wanted to survive I needed to swallow my pride and do what it took to get me closer to my goal. If that meant getting the shit kicked out of me by Florenza, criticized by Twilight or pleasing Princess Luna in exchange for knowledge then that was fine with me. Though so far only Celestia had asked me to please her.

Florenza, as expected, had found out about this and was livid. In fact, I honestly didn't think that restraining her was going to work this time as she screamed for the bitch’s blood. For now I was repressing a lot of my grief, hatred and self-pity, focusing on learning was a good distraction. Sadly though, not even that could stop the night terrors that plagued me. I had moments every now and again when I would revert to my vicious untrusting self. More than once I had nearly reduced Florenza to tears because of Celestia’s disgusting demands.

As strange as it was Luna, Florenza and Twilight had helped me to calm all my emotions. I did not hate the ponies of Equestria, it would be like hating a dog for chewing on your phone. They honestly did not know any better. So instead of screaming, kicking and trying to kill people I decided to do it like a civilized human being. I would instead gain popularity with the nobles be it though charm or sex I didn't know yet. I could not deny that I would like nothing more than to go on a killing spree but that would be counterproductive as well as retarded.

I was slightly repulsed with myself to so easily use my body to get power. Sadly I saw no other option, that didn’t lead straight to a revolt and the deaths of innocents. So for the meantime I would continue to stay in the princesses good books until I was ready to strike. It was a shit choice but hey, I chose to take on the burden of trying to change the equality rights and laws. Maybe I was being dramatic or even pretentious believing that I could change a millennium of social norms, rights and laws, but I had to try if not for them then for myself at least.

But I could not help but wonder why I was bothering, why I did not hate the princesses or specifically Princess Celestia. It was definitely not Stockholm syndrome with Celestia; I was stronger than that. She never beat or humiliated me, she just grabbed me, shagged me, then swatted my arse and sent me packing. It was still degrading to be used like a fuck toy and honestly if I found her on fire in a bathroom, I would piss in the sink instead.

Luna, I was completely confused by. She could go from being quite pleasant to die hard bitch. Then again being nearly nine months pregnant will do that to you. We had actually to my surprise talked about the child, a thing I never thought in a million years we would do. I had no plan of kissing up to her and helping her raise the child, but it was at least entertaining to talk about the child whom she wanted to name Isaac. The name apparently was what her mother had planned call her if she had been born a colt.

“Focus,” Twilight barked swatting me over the head as I groaned in annoyance. It was hard to focus when I was to be wed to Luna in a month and her child was expected to be here any time from next week to the next two months. Since humans and pony birth cycles were different we were iffy.

My hands started to glow a soft blue as I focused solely on the apple in front of me. To my delight the small fruit started to lazily float coming closer to me inch by inch as beads of sweat ran down my brow. Just as I was about to grab it my magic flickered before dying.

“Well done Lachlan that was much better this time,” she smiled, patting me on the head as she had forced me to read through several chapters of the theory behind the spells as well as magic and its core roots. Both books were incredibly dull, but it had finally paid off.

“That was fucking hell,” I grunted flopping down face first on the bed as Florenza chuckled pausing to place her book to the side as she dragged me to her. Clad only in pajama bottoms she left her chest bare as I shivered. Her fur felt amazing as I cuddled into her my body stiff as she gently massaged my back. Her breast were also put to use as they rubbed up and down my heavily scarred back as I gave a moan.

“Relax, you are doing well, you just have to calm down and not push yourself so hard. Your sword play has definitely gotten better from when we started. If given enough time, honey, I’m a hundred percent confident you’ll get this down in no time,” She said with a soft smile, her words of encouragement boosting my moral as I rested my head in the crook of her neck.

Third Person

Blueblood walked down the large castle halls with his pompous head held high in the air as he walked to his room after a wonderful dinner with his aunts.

He smirked as his mind drifted back to the ugly peasant who had dared try and keep him from what he wanted. He let out a chuckle as he recalled the pained screams the scum let out as he was lashed for his insolence. Personally, he thought wasn't enough, one-hundred would have sufficed, although even he had limits when it came to his aunties.

Blueblood smirked as he thought back to the two worthless mares the stallion had tried to shield, and let out a low hiss at his lost chance. But it didn’t matter, for he had men looking for them, and he had also given out orders to kill that worthless colt should they find him. He would get those mares, and he would break them. He would rut them like the animals they were until they would hang off his elbows, and then sat off with the rest of the common filth.

The narcissistic prince stopped his inner monologue as he reached his room. He confidently walked into the room, ignoring the two guards that stood by his door. His room reeked of his standing over the trash, a large king sized bed sat at the end of his room with his oh so beautiful portrait of himself hanging above the bed. Walking into the bathroom, he opened the cabinet before sliding back a wooden panel, revealing a set of vials. Carefully, he plucked one of them and smirked before setting it down on the sink. He disrobed into his favourite bath-robe and went back into his bedroom, laying down on his bed as he allowed the blankets and pillows to comfortably adjust to him as he sighed contentedly.

he would have to thank that mare at the black market for the precious vile of Love poison that was now securely clasped in his hand.

“Soon… very soon you'll have what’s coming to you… human…” Blueblood whispered tiredly before laying his head down on his pillow and falling asleep.

Author's Note

Damn that is a lot of info XD

So what was the red glow that Lachlan saw with Florenza

Is Sombra what Luna says he is

What does Blueblood plan to do

and will Celestia continue to black mail Lachlan?

You will just have to wait
