What We've Lost

Previous ChapterNext Chapter6: Nights Embrace
You wake up on the grassy knoll and it doesn't come to you how you got there for a moment. You sit up in the middle of the highest spot in the grassy plain and look down into the valley. Oh yeah, Ponyville. It all rushes back to you in an instant. Almost killing Rainbow, running around town, leaving the princess in the doorway at the library. You honestly think you could've handled all that better. After the shock of your actions wore off, you had more time to properly think about it.
You really could've handled that better. After running around the town for an hour, you handled that interaction with Luna like a junior high school girl. You laugh at your foolishness while you sit there staring at the town. You could've just walked out of the town, in a calm peaceful manner, but you suppose your emotions got the better of you. You weren't going to hurt any of those people while you had your wits about you. But you have had episodes of imitating your dreams right down to the tee. Usually it wouldn't matter, being as you slept alone most of the time, with no one nearby, but in the heat of the moment you forgot you couldn't trust your sleeping body.
You then reason with the situation calmly. This isn't something that can really be helped, so you're just going to have to learn to live with it from now on. Needless to say, you knew you were pretty much banished from Ponyville, but so long as you were still alive you'd keep pushing on. Live and learn, you suppose.
You turn around, and take stride towards the forest, you dreaded the thought of the journey ahead of you, but going through that is a hundred times better than killing those who didn't deserve it, especially ones so innocent.
You take a step into the treeline, then the area behind you is illuminated with a bright white light.
As it vanishes, a booming sound takes its place. "AND WHERE DO YOU THINK YOU'RE GOING, SIR?"
Who else could that be, but the Princess of the night her self. Now you were in for it. "Uhh...Just going to be on my way. I don't want any trouble, I just want to leave before anyone else gets hurt." You try to help your case. Who knows what she has in store for you for attempting to murder one of her subjects. Since she has obviously dispelled your attempt at self banishment, you assume she wants immediate execution. Hopefully its quick.
As you try to back away from her into the forest, a light blue light surrounds your figure. You are suddenly jerked out of your footing and come hovering to the princess upside down.
"AAH! I said I was sorry, It won’t happen again, I swear on my life! Just don't execute me and I’ll leave the town in peace!" Fear overtakes you as you know what kind of power the Princesses have. She could end you right there, or make it slow. Very slow. For all your training and expertise, she had you under her will, with not a thing you could do about it. You close your eyes and accept your fate.
"Execute you? Dearest soldier, no. We...I do not wished to have you killed. This town desperately needs you. I need you." Looking out of your grimace you look the princess in the eye.
"You do?" Usually attempted murder was met with a much harsher punishment, but it seems it wasn’t coming to you quite yet.
"Yes. This town is on the brink of collapse, you walking into our town was the perfect gift. We need someone like you who knows how to handle himself. Our supplies are running low and I don't know of anyone else who has the ability you have. None of these girls know how to fight, and there are only three other men in the town. And only one of them has any experience with combat, and he is needed elsewhere. This town was going to fall out from under me if I wasn't able to create an envoy to the wastes. I know I'm asking a lot of you soldier, but I simply have no other choice." you think most of that was just to get you to believe her, you have a hard time believing the Princess of the night herself couldn't handle one town. Her and her sister ruled the country.
"I s'pose when you put it that way. But I do have a problem Princess, and I don't want to hurt anybody else." she still didn't want to release you from her magical grip, which wouldn't be a problem, if you weren't upside down.
"I can most certainly help you with that. And please, call me Luna." She looks up to you with a smile.
"Alright Luna, would you mind letting me down?" You're starting to get disoriented and would really like to walk on your own.
"Nonsense! We can't have you run off again. How about a nice stroll back to Ponyville?" She is quite enjoying this moment, unlike her company. How would you say no though? It wasn't like you had much of a choice.
"I went down to the train after you left to find out the state of things." Luna's tone suddenly goes in a more somber direction.
"What'd they tell you?" You honestly don't remember half of it yourself, though you didn't feel like you really wanted to.
"Upon further inspection of the cart, I discovered Applejack consoling Rainbow Dash, the pair sitting on the bed. The poor girl seemed to be quite skittish and was almost frightened to move away from Applejack. She even jumped when I entered. I asked Applejack for an explanation for all this." You really didn't want to hear the rest of it now. Feelings of guilt were returning to you in massive waves. You weren't about to interrupt the Princess though, considering your current disoriented position, so you just let her continue.
"She told me that Rainbow Dash wouldn't talk to her, at all. Applejack continued that she found the two of you in a quite one sided altercation. When you let Rainbow down and lowered your weapon, Applejack said she attempted to "calm you down", which she said was met by you putting her into a dangerous submission. She said you got off of her and she didn't want to get up for fear of you doing something worse to her." Oh good. You didn't break anything on her. That would've only have made you feel so much worse.
"Then you just ran off. I assume that was when you came to me?" Luna asks you expectantly.
"That'd be correct."
"Well, I assume that your emotions got the better of you, I did say before you had left that I would be able to help you with your predicament." She did say that she would help you deal with it didn't she? Now you feel REALLY stupid.
"I am the Princess of the Night after all. I can help you alter your nightly subconscious." Luna says.
"I'm sorry Luna, I should've come to you about it the next night and asked you for help, none of this should've happened." You attempt to apologize.
"No, dearest soldier, the blame is mine. I had sensed your troubled dreams and in my haste to maintain the town I procrastinated helping you as such. But we shall this remedy this situation back in Ponyville!" She says as she tries to take some of the heat off of you.
"Luna, no, you don't have to take the blame. You aren't the one with the problem that almost ki-"
"Ah, silence! I require complete concentration if I am to help you with this endeavor." She told you, snapping her fingers, you felt your lips tingle. Upon further inspection the once flesh entrance to your mouth was covered in a seemingly jagged metal, then promptly zipped shut. The princess seemed to have just silenced you with the oldest cartoon trick you could think of.
Floating through the air in the forgotten battlefield path to Ponyville, upside down and mouth replaced with a zipper, you thought, on the list of things that is not okay, this is really not okay.
The two of you arrive at the library finally, Luna refused to let you down the entire way. Luna opens the passage way and enters the library with you hanging upside down right behind her.
“Twilight Sparkle! Are you home?” she used that booming voice again. You thought that would be all it would take to kill you the first time. The fact that you were now in an enclosed space only made the situation that much more hard on your eardrums.
You hear a crashing sound come from the upstairs room and Twilight comes out soon after fixing herself from something.
“Uhh...Yes Princess I'm home.” She gives a funny look to you floating upside down behind her.
“Dearest Twilight, I require of you to go to sweet apple acres and the adjacent farm, and check with them about the projected growth and current supply. Then check with the corresponding sections of the market to see if we shall meet quota, or if we will have to find another alternative.” Luna told Twilight in an authoritative manner.
“But Princess, didn't we just do that last week?” Twilight says, looking confused.
“Do you question my need for this information Miss Sparkle?” Luna’s gaze on the poor girl does not relent.
“No Princess! I'm sorry, I'll get right on it and get back to you as fast as possible.” She begins to scramble around and gather books and quills to accomplish her task.
“Please, take your time Twilight, I wouldn't want you gathering false information in your haste.” Now you know Luna is just trying to get rid of Twilight, instead of actually having to need this done. This derives a bit of fear in you. Why would she need Twilight gone? You figured this is probably going to hurt.
“Of course Princess, I'll get back to you as soon as possible.” She says as she walks out the door with a scrambled collection of paper.
“Marvelous.” She looks back at the door, waiting for it to shut. After it does, she looks back to you playfully.
“Now, to help you... Let us go to my quarters it will be easier to enact my methods.” Now you knew something wasn’t right. Luna still wouldn't let you down and now she was giving you a weird smile.
She walked into the basement of the library, which seemed much more spacious than the rest. It seems Princess Luna had set up her sleeping quarters down here. It looked like a lecture hall almost. There were two levels to the room, with stairs going down to the bottom. She had an enormous bed with the most beautiful blue blankets adorning it, the fabric seemed to sparkle in the light in the bottom layer with two nightstands on each side and a dresser at the other end of the bottom level. The next level had many shelves and tables around the circular layout and was covered in shelves and tables. On top of all of them were notes, plans, models, and blueprints. While walking down the stairs to the bottom level, Luna noticed you looking at all of them.
“I have many plans for this town. Some, I know, I shall just be biding time with creating. Others I believe will make this town a much safer, grander place. I desire this town to be a breakthrough in new technology in this side of Equestria. Being known as the safe haven of the new world.” She seemed quite proud of this, she should be. Some of those plans looked of technology far beyond your comprehension. Who knows what how she could help the town.
“Seems like a lot of work.” You didn't really know what else to say.
“It will be much less with your assistance, but all in due time. Now we must deal with your predicament.” With that she threw you on the bed, in a not so gentle manner. After recovering you felt the fabric under your hand. It was the most glorious thing you had ever touched. It felt as if the fabric was woven of the softest material Equestria could ever hope to come across, it was truly fit for a goddess. Even having taking a shower and cleaning your clothes a couple of days before, you felt way too dirty to even be 30 feet away from this bed. But you didn't think Luna wanted you to go anywhere.
“So how does this work? I ain’t really up to sleeping right now.” Maybe she had some magic or something that would make you fall asleep.
“Oh, we can most certainly remedy you of your energy...” With a coy smile she snapped her fingers. With a flash her clothing was gone, revealing her heavenly form, that not meant for your simple mortal eyes. Rainbow Dash had a nice body, very nice, Luna had a body that sculptors only wish they could imagine in their wildest, most imaginative dream. Her curves and figure were what any thing on earth saw as utmost perfection. Breasts, hips, legs, they were all the definition of perfection that any male, and most women would seek to find. Nothing else you will see in your life will be this attractive, not by a long shot.
Speaking of shoot, after three seconds of gazing at her godly figure, you fill the groin of your pants up with your ejaculate. With a groan you lay back, already spent.
“Already? we are nowhere close to finished.” With another snap your clothes disappear. Luna crawls onto the bed with you, and canters towards you on all fours in the most seductive manner possible.
“Do you think you have what is needed to be worthy of a Princess?” Her tone changes towards seductive as she positions herself between your legs. You can't really speak at the moment, her motions towards you brought you close to the brink again, and you wanted to hold out to find out how far she really planned to go.
“Dearest soldier, we will most certainly find out.” arching her back, Luna leans down between your legs and goes to grasp your manhood. She slowly wraps one hand around the base, and that does it. The softest part of the bed was nowhere even close to the pure pleasure that was Lunas skin against yours. With a groan you let loose yet again.
“Again? I know I am a goddess but this is ridiculous. We are going to have to do something about this.” She snaps her fingers again and a blue ring appears around the base, not seemingly constricting, but you knew it did something.
“Now, where were we?” She wraps her hand around your member yet again, but you hold out, barely. Then she goes to lick from base to head, slowly. On the way up you cum, yet again, twice, yet this time all it yields is a slight convulsion and a groan of pleasure from you. Whatever spell she put on you certainly restricted the fluid flow, but definitely not the pleasure.
She then sensually puts her mouth around your head. You never would've even imagined a princess doing this to you, you still can't. The inside of her mouth is the perfect combination of warmth, wetness and gentleness. She only begins her first passage down when you release around three times. All the sensory neurons in your body are overloading your brain with pleasure, making a normally simple task, such as producing a simple thought, a task that requires the utmost concentration to even begin to attempt.
All you could do to not pass out while watching the Princess serve you in such a way, was count how many separate times she made you cum. Watching her beautiful pale face and gorgeous glowing hair bob at your waist you thought, 38...39...40...
At one point she begins to move her hand in opposite synchronization with her mouth. This causes you to convulse throughout your body in a sort of pleasure seizure.
“Hmm... I suppose we should have a change of pace then. You seem to be enjoying this too much.” She smiles at you with her beautiful face, and crawls up onto you with her beautiful...everything.
“Habaza arcandal isbanakanabas sa.” That was your attempt to put together a coherent sentence after the pleasure overload overtook you.
She giggles adorably at that. ...41... “How about you just get me warmed up as well.” She says as she positions herself over you with her royal vagina at a prime licking level. You look up at her across her beautifully molded stomach and breasts ...42... then you happily obliged. She tastes like the stars themselves, which you didn't even know had a taste, you couldn't even describe it if you wanted too, you just know that it was better than any food you've ever tasted.
As you attempt to send an onslaught of your own at the majestic Princess of the night, she moans softly, ...43... signifying you were doing something right. You continue to pleasure the princess in the best way you can possibly achieve, which still seems lackluster compared to her ability. After her moans slowly get louder and her royal fluids flow down your chin and neck, with a couple more ejaculations on your part. She lowers herself off of you and comes down to meet you face to face.
“Thank you.” Then she gives you a long kiss on the lips ...52... and positions herself above you, probing her entrance with your manhood, slowly making her way down. She begins to ride you, doing all the work. You wouldn't even begin to try to take up the responsibility of trying to fuck her, you didn't think you could hardly move at this point. She will probably enjoy it better this way any way.
Looking up at her graceful movements on your figure, you feel the inside of her, and it feels as if you had truly died and found the absolute best afterlife any soul could ever hope for. At this rate you really would pass out underneath her.
As she continued to sway her hips and moan on top of you, she closed her eyes and turned her head to the side to try to subside her pleasure. The act only made you lose count ...143...144...145...shit. All of the sudden the princess tilts her head back and arches onto you, letting out a loud moan and convulsing on top of you. The act sent so much pleasure through your body, that something definitely broke. You couldn't move anything. Your eyes wouldn't even change direction, and your eyelids were too weak to close on them. Yup..the princess just broke you. You couldn't think of a better way to die.
The princess climbs off of you and releases her spell. Your member then explodes in a barrage of fluid and doesn't stop for a couple of minutes. Luna catches it in a magical orb and it fills up to what looks as if it could fill up a gallon jug, but haw would you know, you couldn't even see straight anymore.
The Princess leaves a moment to dispose of your fluids, and then quickly returns back with her figure clothed again. She picks you up with her magic and sets you under the sheets. She kisses you on the cheek and sits down beside you on the bed.
“Ahh...I needed that. Now sleep dearest soldier, the matter of your mind i shall deal with in your slumber.” You certainly couldn't argue with her.
You then drift off to sleep with her watchful eye over you at the bedside
(................................................................................................................................)
You were sitting in what used to be an outdoor theater, surrounded by hundreds of other soldiers. You were in fillydelphia, you had just gotten transferred from the desert frontier to this more populated area. You got promoted to Master Sergeant after you and a squad assigned to you flanked a griffin hotspot in appleoosa and effectively broke their ranks and arguably won back the city. Your squad didn't make it back, poor kids got chewed up in small arms fire, but you did, and the military thought they could use you on this new city front. The griffins decided to split their assault into two fronts, the desert to the south, and the more populated eastern area. They were currently invading Manehattan, you assumed you were going to be thrown into the thick of it there. Them wanting your leadership experience there.
But you've been wrong before. The hundreds of soldiers around you were also higher ranked soldiers, staff sergeants, first sergeants, corporals, and other manner of higher ranking foot soldiers made up the crown you sat in currently, all being told to watch the stage in front of you, by some higher ranking royal guards. Those smug bastards hardly do any fighting, but always get a higher rank than any enlisted man, it did not make any sense to you.
You looked up, a womanly figure exiting the curtains and walking up on the stage. It was the Princess of the night herself. Anybody (besides Celestia) else would've been hooted and hollered at with most of these soldiers not having seen any action in months, but with the Princess you all knew better and to have some respect. You wondered what she was doing out here so close to the new front, you knew she was immortal, but it just didn't feel right. You just assumed she was about to tell you why you were here, so you gave her your attention.
“Hello enlisted officers of the great Equestria’s army, I have gathered you all here today to inform you of our enemy’s new resources, and ways that you may combat against them. I brought you all here instead of sending out a briefing packet because the supplies and information I must give you is very important and must be kept very dear to you, for the fate of this war may lie in the balance.” Well that answered why you were here. Now what was so important that it had you all dragged out to this city instead of just getting orders.
“First I would like to go over new griffin weapons and battle tactics they are using on the new front.” And so she did. She presented you all with a plethora of slides containing images of the new griffin equipment. The griffins had developed new weapons, including an assault rifle with better short range capability and a higher fire rate, a version of the an-94 is all you really got out of it. They also were training new snipers with a previously unused semi-automatic rifle, the Dragunov, they had overproduced it in years prior to the war and are putting it to effect now, with snipers being rather resourceful, you’d have to keep a close eye on that. They also have come up with their own airplanes to combat the helicopters and jets that Equestria has put into production, with theirs being much slower, but not lacking in the firepower department. New versions of their tanks and armor were revealed as well. With the princess ending off the slides with new tactics.
“The griffins are now employing five man squads, similar to our new four man line up, with each having their own specialty,” engineer, short range explosive specialist, assault and resupply specialist, medic...what else would they need? “The deviant from our line up being that they now have a sniper to cover the squads advance, plan your actions accordingly.” That might present some problems, but you spared your thoughts to listen to the princess.
“Now, that all is not the reason I had you come out. THe griffins have begun to employ tactics that are much more evil. We must take extreme caution with these new weapons which i will now explain.” So now we get to the good stuff. What could be better than snipers around every squad and tanks with three times the ordinance?
“Biological weapons. The griffins have been equipped with two new types of poisonous grenades to use against you. The first we have named x-14, this is a deadly neurotoxin released in the form of smoke grenade, upon inhalation, it will send the victim into painful spasms which will be followed by death.” Well, that is much worse than snipers. “The second we have named y-3, it is a much slower acting poison, but it is administered via grenade as well. The explosion will yield a blast radius of a sticky green liquid, if this is to get onto you, you must remove all affected clothing at once, and attempt to wash off any that has been transferred to skin. The liquid will begin to cause the skin to rot into a black mold which is untreatable by any means beyond one day, if symptoms are caught in the first few hours after exposure, amputation may save the victim, but this only has a 50% success rate within the first hour of skin molding.” This is getting to be brutal, why the griffins would go to such an extreme is beyond you, this war is barely out of a stalemate, and you dont know whos winning.
“I have prepared a syringe to be given to each of you, the serum will halt the exposure of both substances, it only takes a drop of it to take effect, so use it with the affected accordingly. It will be worn in conjunction to your dog tag. It is small, so do not waste a drop of it, that is all we are currently able to manufacture.” Luna says in a professional mannerism. You didn't think this could get much worse.
“In addition to this, a new strand of virus has been discovered in some bullet wounds. This virus is a plague level threat. It spreads through the infected victim through the air. Anyone infected will succumb to normal flu symptoms until they have reached a temperature of 106. At this threshold death is soon to follow. There is no cure, but there is a vaccination. This is also in scarce quantity currently, you all will be administered, but your lower level comrades will have to wait, if we are able to manufacture any more.” Now shit is getting serious. The griffins don't seem to want to let up until everyone’s dead.
“And finally, we have intercepted reports of mutant experiments, not much is known at this point, other than the experiments are a success but they are not able to control them at this time. Be on the lookout for any such thing.” Well, you've got some fighting ahead of you, and now its going to get brutal.
“You are all dismissed, return to the the main tent to receive your supplies and vaccination, you will also be given the location of your new assignment, chosen according to your experience and abilities. May you all live to fight to the end of this war. Farewell” With that, she turned and exited the stage, and all the soldiers got up to walk down to the tent as instructed.
You always longed for a chance to see Luna in person, but now you are just filled with a sense of anxiety of the disaster that you know is to come with all this new deadly arsenal. The troops around you must share your sentiment, the group of hundreds of officers is dead silent. You all make your way to the main tent for the things you will need.
You stop by a station and they attach a syringe to your dogtags and give you a shot, along with a briefing envelope. You open yours to find what lies within. It tells you your destination; Las pegasus. Back to the desert it is. It gives you the number and you head out into the freeway turned airstrip. You read the number of the plane you need to get on. You look up into the rows of planes and buses to find the correct one. After cross referencing the numbers with three different planes you find the correct one and board it with a couple of other troops.
After a couple of hours of the plane refueling and being loaded with some crates with supplies for the front, it takes off into the night. The low roar of the dual propeller engines lull you to sleep. making you weary for your next assignment.
(....................................................................................................)
You awaken. Looking around, you don't know where you are, the room seems entirely foreign to you. Then the events of the...previous day? come back to you. What the princess and you did on this wonderful feeling bed. That was enough to wake up another part of you as well. You were also fully clothed. The princess must've clothed you in your sleep.
“Ah, you're awake. I have good news.” Luna says from the door behind you, fully clothed as well, making a part of you very disappointed. With a swift motion you ignore it and tuck it away into your waistband as you stand up to greet her.
“So, were you able to stop the dreams?” You asked hopefully.
“Alas, no. Those dreams are deeply rooted in your subconscious, I was only able to disconnect your bodies ability to react with the dreams. So from the worst nightmare you will sleep soundly and motionlessly through it, as long as my spell holds strong.” Luna says. As long as you didn't hurt anyone else.
You look out the door, seeing sunlight, but not sure what to make of it. “How long was I out?”
“About three days. Twas required to make the necessary changes to your brain.” She says as if it weren't a big deal.
“THREE DAYS?!” You immediately thought that it didn't really matter, its not like you had anything important to do, wait, yes you did. Reconciling with Applejack and Rainbow Dash were to be handled as swiftly as possible.
“Soldier! Volume! If you do not calm yourself I shall send you back into the land of slumber with a simple snap of my fingers.” Luna says, attempting to calm you.
“Sorry Luna I- ...A simple snap of your fingers? Then why did you-”
She interrupts you with a smile. “I may be a Princess, but I do have urges the same as most girls in this town. I was simply lucky enough to find an excuse to get you alone.”
“Well I can't say I didn't enjoy it, but we may have to limit interactions like that, ‘less you want me to die of pleasure overload.” You give her a smile in return.
“Good to hear, I shall keep that in mind. I do need another task completed from you however. One that requires another cross-country journey. I will give you instructions when you are ready.” Luna goes to leader mode with the new sentence.
“Alright, but there are a couple things I must take care of in town first.” You tell her, making your way out of the room.
“Understandable, take these bits for your last job if you wish to purchase anything in town.” she holds out the bag to you, you take it this time.
“Thank you kindly.”
“No, thank you.” She says with a wink.
With a happy stride you make your way out of the library.
“Morning sleepy head.” Twilight says while sitting at a desk reading a book.
“Morning to you too, miss.” With the old habit of tipping a hat that isn't there you make your way out of the library into that Ponyville sun.
For once, things are finally looking up.
