Introduction

Nightmare Moon’s POV [Present]

It's been six months since you freed yourself from that wretched Luna's body. She thought she could keep you imprisoned within the deep recesses of her mind. But you're a crafty mare. Every time Luna used a bit of her magic you'd steal some of it. Some would call you a parasite, others would call you a leech. Those that insulted you in such a way never lasted long.

Same could be said of Celestia's reign over Equestria after you emerged from her sister's skull. Her being in a state of shock allowed you to imprison both her and Luna upon your moon. Now they are forced to watch on from your silent vigil as you rule Equestria with an iron hoof. Your guards became your tyrannical force. They beat ponies for speaking out against you.

Your soldiers would burn crops and tear down homes of those who would dare plot to overthrow you. Executions for rebels who would dare challenge you were a regular event around Canterlot Square. Ponies learned early on that fighting you would have dire consequences. With your subjects filled with a sufficient amount of fear you were able to turn to more important matters.

Ponies were forced to harness grand amounts of magic in order for your nation to rule on in eternal darkness. Even you know how gardening works. You can't grow plants when there's no sunlight to help them develop. So now here you are, sitting on your throne. Everything is running smoothly. No adjacent nation wishes to go to war with you. Chrysalis doesn't make an attempt to come to the surface lest she faces your wrath.

Life is good, but it is also boring. While you love that you have countless ponies waiting on your every order you'd like to have a pony go against you every now and again…

Anonymous’ POV [Past Events]

Two hundred and sixteen days have passed since you first arrived in Equestria. Needless to say you loved it here. Ponies were friendly, they were accepting. The co-rulers of this nation were kind enough to give you citizenship, a home, and a weekly stipend with which to live. Despite having a fairly good life back on Earth, with the way things were you couldn't say you were angry.

Sure you were dejected that you wouldn't see your home again, but you have a good life here with these equines. You were trying to make the best out of a bad situation, and you were succeeding. But that all changed when Nightmare Moon returned. That alicorn didn't waste a second.

Before anyone knew it both Princesses were imprisoned. Guards left and right surrendered to her, and Nightmare Moon’s indoctrination began. Her force grew and spread throughout the land like a wild fire. Without anyone around to go against her, other than a few pockets of pony fighters, she had free reign over the land within a few months.

Those of you who could do something, anything to try to stop her started an underground resistance in Manehattan. You had quite a number of ponies, you had procured arms, and you had a chance to break into Canterlot. It took a week of planning and gathering. You wish you had more time but she wouldn't grant you that. Nightmare was desperate; she wanted everything under her control as quickly as possible

You were hoping you and your little group of thirty or so ponies could do something against that. Boy were you wrong, dead wrong in fact. Your group had managed to sneak into Canterlot. After that you made a mad dash for the castle. Out of the group you brought in only half made it into the castle interior. The rest were left behind to bide you time…

By the end of the first hour only you and the five ponies that stayed with you remained. The rest were either caught or killed. Nightmare didn't play around when it came to things like this. With what you had left you sneaked through the darkened corridors of Canterlot Castle. What was once warm and inviting served as a constant reminder of the failure you and countless others have suffered through.

At that point during the eternal night you were thinking that the six of you could make a difference, that you could turn those failures around and bring peace back to Equestria that is until you found the place you were looking for. When you finally found the tyrant's living quarters needless to say you were nervous. You could vividly recall the cold sweat dripping from your brow

Your shaking hands as you held onto your spear for dear life, and the utter fear that consumed you, not knowing what to expect on the other side of her door. Your resolve was dwindling the longer you remained in that poorly lit hallway. It didn’t instill any confidence in those you were supposed to lead. In fact, were it not for those around you, you would have never opened that door.

When you did you were greeted with a horrid sight. It was her... her ice cold glare caused the six of you to freeze with terror. Her pitch black coat caused your allies to freeze with fear Those infernal fangs that stuck out from her lips when she sneered caused your comrades to back away. Her midnight blue mane was a violent maelstrom of raw magic power. The wings she sported were unfurled and flaring.

They seemed to stretch to both walls of her room. When that long, black horn of hers began to glow with an eerie light you knew it was over. She was furious that you made it past the guards, and she mentioned that she would take great pleasure in finishing you off herself.

At the last moment you decided that you would make her work for her victory. With a battle cry you charged, spear aimed at her exposed neck. Nightmare's eyes grew wide with shock when you closed the distance. Your body began to glow from her magic but you refused to stop, you could see the sweat pouring down her face, and the strain she showed as she managed to lift you off of your feet.

She succeeded in stopping you, but not before you got a good swipe at her neck with the blade of your spear. Unfortunately all you managed to do was leave a horizontal cut along her neck, as though you tried to cut her from ear to ear. It wasn't deep enough to kill, but you took solace in knowing that every time she looked in a mirror she'd see the mark you'd left on her.

She finally swatted you away like a fly, and your comrades were next... The rest was a blur of you and the survivors being punished like the traitors you were. Going against the sole Princess of Equestria was a death sentence. You were well aware of that. But what you weren't aware of is that while you watched your comrades hanging from nooses the Princess had other plans for you...

Because you were so crafty at getting around her guards, and because you had the audacity to try and take her life she decided to keep you around. She made you into one of her royal guards. She said it would have been a waste to have you hanging with the rest, but not before beating you senseless for your transgressions against her. You were a fool to think you would get out of this unharmed.

You did leave a scar along her "beautiful neck" and you had to be punished for it. After that moment you were forced to wake up at odd hours, don the armor made for you, and stand by Nightmare's Throne. You were stuck standing guard for the pony you hated the most on this planet. Nightmare only made it worse by securing your loyalty.

If you didn't keep her safe from harm, Manehattan would be burned to the ground. She had you in a vice grip and she knew it. She was sure to rub it in your face every so often when there wasn't an emissary visiting. But you'll find a way to get back at her. You'll have your revenge...

Author's Note

A rather short intro to a rather short story.

Though, it is rushed, and feels forced, I wouldn't mind hearing your opinion on it.

Even Nightmares Must Come to an End

Anonymous’ POV [Present]

You're currently standing next to Nightmare's Throne; a Bat Mare guards the other side. You've been anything but still during that time. She’s made you go back and forth from the kitchen for last six or so hours. She kept ordering you to get her food or to get her water. When you brought her something to eat Nightmare always has something to say about it.

You aren't the cook it's not like you control how her food is made. You know she's only doing this just to anger you. It's working quite well, but you're doing your best to show her otherwise. Your face remains stoic. The latest meal you gave her is now in the floor. Apparently you taste testing it wasn't enough.

There are times you wished her cooks had the courage to poison her meals. It'd save you from your duties. She still insisted that she tasted something off about it on the rare occurrence she did eat what you gave her. You were inclined to agree since humans can't exactly process grass that well.

“Since you cannot follow simple orders you are to remain here. Perhaps acting as a meat shield should be simple enough for you." Her snide comment manages to cut deep. But you refuse to let it show.

“Yes your highness," you dryly respond before placing your hands behind your back. With your back turned to her you can't see the smirk she has plastered on her face. It seems as though the Princess has grown bored.

After all it's been an hour since the last pony came in. The poor sap asked for a larger trade caravan. Nightmare doesn't take too kindly to those who ask her for things. She berates them to no end and makes them feel horrible for needing help. If they get their request it's always off of random chance. So half of the time those that come to her and deal with her don't even get what they request.

Admittedly that irks you quite a bit, and it's about to get worse. The familiar sound of Nightmare casting magic can be heard. You sigh in exasperation.

“Permission to speak freely?" don’t bother turning around or otherwise acknowledge her.

“Permission granted, guard," Nightmare giggles mischievously. You hear the sudden pop of an item being brought into existence.

“What in Tartarus are you doing?" you turn your head to look her way. You shiver when you feel tendrils of her mane stroke against your cheek.

“I have grown bored; you and the abomination are to entertain your Princess." Nightmare says before using that same tendril to turn your head to face the front.

“I am not an abomination,” you hear your fellow guard murmur under her breath. Thankfully for her the Princess didn’t hear her.

“What are you—" you're cut off by the sound of something squeaking like a toy. Your head jolts when a small ball hits the back of it. It squeaks upon impact causing Nightmare Moon to laugh haughtily. You grumble incoherently before crossing your arms in front. You hear the bat pony laugh for a moment before grunting from the ball hitting her helmet.

The two of you are stuck for Celestia knows how long with this. Aside from the occasional giggle from Nightmare and the squeak of the ball everything else is silent. An hour has passed and she is still hitting the two of you with her little squeaky ball. You've found a rhythm to it. But that squeak, it's driving you nuts. You've started grinding your teeth in order to keep yourself from having an outburst.

Nightmare notices this and decides to point it out, "Anonymous, am I annoying you?" she asks, obvious as to what your answer will be.

“No your highness, not at all." you answer through clenched teeth. Your reaction causes her to laugh.

“Good, because I do not intend to stop." she throws the ball a little harder this time. Squeak, squeak, and squeak the ball continues its assault upon your senses and the back of your head. Nightmare has stopped hitting the other guard and has decided to make you the one and only target. Squeak, squeak, and squeak, that infernal noise is driving you insane. You find your body shivering in a hopeless attempt to hold your anger back. When you think the ball is about to hit you do a one eighty and catch it.

Then you throw it out of the open window, well its open now that you threw it through the stained glass. The bat mare gasps in horror and Nightmare Moon's happy demeanor has turned sour

“And why did you do that guard?" she asks while looking down on you through narrowed eyes.

“Because that ball was getting on my last nerve," you answer while glaring up at her. You are not going to let her keep doing this to you if you can help it. You still have a few shreds of dignity left.

The two of you stayed like this; eyes locked. You continue to stare in defiance while she looks upon you as if you were nothing more than a mere insect. After what feels like an eternity Nightmare turns to the Bat mare. The poor girl is shivering with fright.

“You are dismissed," her icy, malice filled tone nearly shatters your conviction, and does nothing more than frighten the guard even further.

“W-what?" Nightmare loses her temper for a moment.

“Leave before I hang you from the battlements as a trophy!" Nightmare exclaims, her voice dripping with hatred. This gets the poor guard to gallop out of the throne room. Finding yourself alone with Nightmare Moon, you can't help but feel a little intimidated.

You can feel some invisible force tighten around your throat as you're dragged closer to Nightmare. The telltale signs of her horn glowing signify her using magic, but you can't see her grip on you. You reach around your neck in a vain attempt at relief.

As the grip tightens you see Nightmare start to strain, she grits her teeth as she holds you in the air. She’s acting as though you weigh a ton. You're now face to face with the tyrannical ruler of Equestria... mere inches away...

The size difference is astounding; you knew Celestia would use a growth spell in order to change her size as necessary. But Nightmare Moon took it too far; right now she's made herself out to be a giant. You're a few feet off of the ground; you look down in order to confirm this. Nightmare didn't appreciate you spoiling her fun, not one bit, she forces you to stare into her darkened pools she calls pupils.

“Tell me why I shouldn’t make an example out of you." she speaks through gritted teeth. Judging by her tone you know better than to say anything to make the situation worse

“B-because I'm enter-entertaining?" you struggle to say as your airway constricts. You find yourself gagging as she tightens her grip. Various colors start to play upon your senses. It isn’t long before you start to see darkness as your eyes start to roll up into the back of your head.

She smiles sweetly before dropping you. You land upon your back, pain forces its way through, causing you to grimace. Immediately you roll over on your stomach and get to your hands and knee

You cough violently all while struggling to get in as much air as possible. Your spittle pools out of your mouth and in between your hands. After a few moments you're finally able to breathe properly. You look up to find Nightmare smirking down at you, though she seems worn out.

“Indeed you are Anonymous. That little act alone was nearly enough to make up for the damage you've done." Nightmare's smirk turns into a wide smile.

“N-nearly?" you wheeze as you struggle to your feet. The lack of air has left you without your balance, or clear vision.

“Yes, but in order to earn my forgiveness you have to do a bit more," she adds while her ethereal mane begins to move around her. A tendril of it repeats the earlier motion, causing you to shiver. You back away slowly only to have that same tendril wrap around your pauldron. Her snicker takes on a much more playful tone. Almost as if she were taunting you, but you know this laugh all too well.

For the past month there were some rumors that said during the night, she would feel a little cold. That would lead to her having some random guard ponies join her in her room for a few hours. If she found a stallion to her liking she would always chuckle like how she is now. You've heard it many times before and hearing it now only causes you to hold your breath out of terror.

Those stallions would find that the tyrant they served had a primal thirst that was not easily quenched. It was rumored that she would take many stallions and some mares into her chambers for the night. In turn those chosen would be unable to function for their shifts, or so you’ve heard. That would end in them being flogged for being unable to perform their duties.

You have yet to experience anything like that. You always assumed that since you were a human she saw you as something less than a pony. Or it could have been because having you so close in such an intimate setting could prove dangerous for her. In a way you were thankful that she passed you up for others. You doubt you could go through with doing something like that with a pony anyway.

But now it seems like you'll have no choice but to go through with it. That suspicion is only strengthened by the way she's looking upon you. Her half lidded, sultry gaze is upon you, taking in your appearance. When you see her lick her lips you feel your blood run cold in your veins. You dread the next question you choose to ask. You sigh before looking away,

“What do I have to do for you to forgive me?" your voice is void of any enthusiasm. You shift your eyes to the floor, but she won’t have any of that. A second tendril of her mane joins in on the fun while the first one pulls away.

It gently runs along the bottom of your chin. This unwanted sensation has you feeling molested. It suddenly forces you to look back up into the black slits of Nightmare's eyes. You find that she’s moved off of her throne, and that she's uncomfortably close. She sniffs the air around you once before breathy laughter follows. She can smell your displeasure.

“One hour from now you are to head to my bed chambers." That smile of hers grates upon your nerves. “I will receive compensation for that window Anonymous," she trails off before releasing you from her icy locks. Nightmare trots past you, and makes her way out of the throne room. Before she leaves she turns her head to look at you. “And do not think you can use that tongue of yours to sweet talk your way out of this," her eyes seemed to light up, “Besides, it'll be far too busy with... other tasks." With that she makes her way out of the throne room, leaving you to soak in what she just said.

Even with her departure her presence still lingers. You feel unclean, almost as if Nightmare's words alone performed the dreaded deed. It appears as though luck is not in your favor. You sigh deeply before making your way to your personal bed chambers.

While you have to endure quite a bit from Princess Moon, at least she had the courtesy to provide you and a few other guards with rooms in the castle. As luck would have it, you ended up with Celestia's old bed chambers. Though all the paintings, the stark white walls, and the banners have either been painted over with Moons, or replaced in its entirety. No comforting sun to see you through the next few hours...

You've been pacing around your room for an untold amount of time. You've since stripped out of your armor. A shower was also a part of your little routine. You assumed Nightmare would want someone smelling like berries rather than sweat. At least you can freak out in comfort while wearing a midnight blue bathrobe and black slippers. There is no need to get dressed any further than that. After all she'll probably strip away what you're wearing.

You shudder when she comes to mind, that sickening smile of hers still sends cold chills throughout your body. You're going to have to figure out how you're going to get any enjoyment out of this. You're about to make your parents ashamed of you. Just think, if they could see you getting ready to get in bed with a pony. Your thoughts are interrupted by a quiet knock upon your door.

Upon opening it you find one of the unicorns who regularly stands with you while guarding the throne. You usher him inside and he takes the invitation.

“Evening." he bows before walking further into your quarters. You can't help but notice the black saddlebags he's carrying. The purpose for said saddlebags eludes you, that is until he sets them on your bed and opens one. You find that he's brought out a silver, cylinder shaped flask. Using his magic he tosses it to you and you catch it.

“What's with this?" you ask while shaking the flask, you put your ear to it and listen as the liquid inside sloshes around.

“Start Trotter saw you walking back to your room in a daze. He knew Nightmare chose you for tonight. So we came up with a little something for you." Upon opening the top of the flask you inhale the scent. Your nostrils seem to burn from the sensation.

“Sweet Celestia what did you two put in this thing?! Fuel?!" you exclaim before moving your nose away from the opening.

“Hard Cider, Orange Family Whiskey, Sapphire Shores Vodka, and a little magic." He produces a second flask.

“You don't mix those things!" you shout, "What made you think that was a good idea?" You toss the flask onto your bed.

“It's Nightmare Moon, we assumed one brand of liquor would be insufficient. Besides the spell helps bind it all together, and it'll help make things easier for you." He passes both flasks to you via magic.

"What else did you put in here?" You grimace while eyeing both flasks suspiciously. You know for a fact that a good portion of her guard and the populace are indoctrinated. With her being an alicorn she's been known to do such a thing to ponies in order to make taking over an easy task for her. You hope to find a way to break them of their curse. To be forced to serve under Nightmare Moon is a fate worse than death...

“A little something to help your libido," he smiles and winks. That causes you to groan.

"Just get out of here." You shake your head while pointing to your door. He chuckles before making his way past you.

"Drink it Anon, you're gonna need it so you can stomach the dribble that comes out of her. She may be a total bitch, but hey that mare will be the best lay of your life. Might as well give it your all right?" You're sure to slam the door behind him as he leaves. You can hear his laughter echo throughout the hall even with your door closed.

Why do your own comrades torture you so? Though the more you think about it the more you think that what your friend gave you was a godsend. You are definitely going to need two flasks for this.

Either both for you or at least one for you or one for her, in fact, if you could convince her to drink both she might be too drunk to do anything to you! Nightmare may even pass out, and that could be the best chance you have at getting your revenge…

Nightmare’s POV

You find yourself moving about your quarters at a brisk pace. The time doesn't seem to be passing by fast enough for you. If there was a weakness you would willingly point out, it would have to be your impatience. That always took a turn to frustration.

You could say you were pretty upset as is. The minotaur emissary that came by earlier felt unwelcome in your castle. That in turn made it so that any attempts at an alliance were doomed to fail. In fact, judging by the way he was glaring as he left you might see a few more minotaur gathering around your borders.

You were a steaming kettle at this point, and you couldn't wait to take out all of your anger on your little guest tonight. Time and time again you tell yourself that you're not come off as irritated when your "special" guard arrives. At least not until you get into your routine. You've already lured him into a false sense of security. He believes you're going to lay with him; at least you hope he was dumb enough to make that assumption.

If so you couldn't believe he'd fall for it! As if you'd give that hairless ape the time of night; especially after what he did to your beautiful, slender neck. You cast a glance over yourself in your black gem-encrusted mirror. That ugly scar of his is still as prominent as the day he gave it to you.

It just had to be a shade lighter than your coat. Thanks to him he's made you seem mortal. Your propaganda describing you as a goddess goes ignored by those you don’t directly control! A being of your caliber should not be able to be wounded, yet a single swipe from the tip of Anon's spear has changed that for good.

As soon as Anonymous gets here, and after he drops his guard, you are going to let him have it. When the time has finally come you smile when you hear somepony knocking at your door. You take on a regal posture before acknowledging the noise.

“Enter!" You watch as your door slowly slides open to reveal the human of the hour. It seems as though he's taken on a bathrobe and slippers for his attire. The fool, how dare he dress in such a casual manner! It's as if he's taking you lightly. You will give him an extra punishment for this.

So what if you're void of any garments, this is your room! Anonymous is sure to close the door behind him. With a simple spell you lock the bolt so he has no opportunity to escape. He jumps from the sudden noise of the lock being set in place. In fact, his whole demeanor has him coming off as nervous.

His eyes shift from side to side, and he's sweating. Perhaps he didn't fall for your little joke after all. Oh well it's of no concern to you.

“It took you long enough," you’re sure to sound angry with him. You point your nose up and turn away from him as though you’ve been offended by his foolishness. You open an eye and see he hasn't moved from his spot by the door. “Don’t just stand there; this is not my throne room."

You feel the familiar warmth of magic cover your body like a blanket as you ready your spell. As your horn glows Anonymous does in turn. He may weigh as much as a mountain to you, but if he won't move of his own volition you'll make him. You grind your teeth as you drag him over to you.

Why is he so heavy? Everything else, even dragons are light as a feather to you; yet this single monkey weighs as much as your castle. When he's close enough you release him, the sound of something sloshing within the pockets of his robe catches your attention. That's when you see two bulges in the front pockets of his attire. What in the world did he bring with him?

Anon POV

Yeah, you were a nervous wreck. The thought of being forcibly taken by a pony made walking here hell for you. You really didn't want that to happen. You'd rather be forced through a physical beating; at least then you wouldn't have your innocence stolen from you. When you went in her room and saw her smile, admittedly your anxiety was only exacerbated as a result.

The bolt being put into place made you reluctant to even move. It was ebbed away slightly when she gave you that snide comment about the time it took for you to get to her room. She set the time, yet she's giving you lip for it. When she turns her head away from you like a snobby royal pony you remain in your spot.

Apparently ten seconds of standing was too long for her. When she saw that you made no attempt to move she told you that you weren't in the throne room. Then drug you over. You made no attempt to struggle; you knew that as soon as the aura surrounded you there was no point.

When you were adequately close enough to her, her ears seemed to pick up on something. You grimaced when you realized that you brought something with you. She heard the liquor sloshing around in the flasks. Yes, you brought the alcohol with you in hopes that she would drink it. Now that you know that she knows you'll get to see if this little gamble plays out in your favor.

“Oh did you bring me a gift? You must really want to get on my good side." she smiles before levitating one of the flasks out of your pockets. She scrutinizes it before opening the top and bringing it to her snout. Once the top is removed she takes a whiff, only to reel back in the same fashion as you did. “What is this?! Fuel?!” Did you really intend on drinking this?" she asks in a combination of confusion and disgust. You shrug.

“Well, what do you expect? If you're going to take advantage of me I might as well get drunk. In fact, I was hoping you’d take a few sips yourself," Nightmare Moon makes no attempt of holding in her laughter. It echoes throughout her enormous bedroom. Your anxiety is being chipped away, only to be replaced by anger.

If there was one thing you didn't like, it was Nightmare laughing at you. When she finally catches her breath her response catches you by surprise.

“You actually believed that?! Oh you idiotic foal!" she says while shaking her head, "That just made my night!" You breathe a sigh of relief before wiping the sweat off of your brow.

"Oh thank Celestia." You smile. Now it's her turn to be surprised. She looks to you with anger.

"And just what is that supposed to mean?" Since you're already in a hole you might as well dig deeper.

"The thought of getting into bed with you disgusts me. I felt getting drunk would make you attractive, and I bet if you drank you’d be tolerable instead of a total cunt.” you answer with another shrug. Nightmare strikes her hoof across your cheek. The impact makes you lose your balance. You almost end up in her floor, but you manage to remain standing.

You're a bit disoriented from her strike, you had no idea that she could exert that much force. You rub your now aching cheek as she screams.

“How dare you insult me! My appearance is second to none! It seems dirty apes like you cannot comprehend my beauty." Nightmare speaks with a sense of pride. Now it's your turn to laugh. Despite the painful protest of your cheek you lose it from Nightmare's comment. This only earns you another blow, this time to your chin. The force of impact knocks you off your feet.

When you get a good look at the furious glare Nightmare's giving you find yourself unable to stand. Her presence feels overwhelming. It looks like insulting her appearance struck a nerve. She's probably self-conscious about the scar you gave her. Well you wanted to dig a deeper hole for yourself, and you feel that you’ve exceeded your own expectations…

Nightmare POV

How dare he say such rubbish! You are not an ugly mare and for him to say such a thing made you snap a little bit. You had the intention of holding back, but it looks like that idea has been thrown out of the window. The human looks to you with hatred; a small trickle of blood trails down his lip.

Looks like you made him bite his lip when you hit his jaw. Good, maybe now he'll learn to keep his mouth shut next time he thinks of an insult. You shoot him a cocky grin as he gets to his feet. When he wipes away the blood you watch as his jaw begins to move about. Then he spits at you. A wad of blood lands right on your muzzle causing you to reel back in surprise and disgust.

“You whelp!" You have a levitation spell ready to go. You're going to toss him around like a rag doll for being so disrespectful. You forgo any plans for dragging this out. You're going to beat him black and blue! He has crossed the line with this. When his feet lift off the ground he looks fearful. He begins to struggle in your magical aura.

Typically, you don't think to bind him considering doesn't struggle when you lift him. But now, he must know what you plan on doing, he's trying everything he can to get you to let him go. It's as if he's doubled in weight from struggling.

Your face becomes flushed and you grimace as you try your hardest to keep him in the air. You can't do anything when he's like this other than lift him, and even that is starting to weaken. Instead of merely dropping him you try lifting him higher. Your horn expels more light as you put more power into your spell. Now he's about fifteen feet in the air. H-he's so heavy... why...?

Sweat is pouring from your brow, and you're panting from the amount of force you have to exert. There is something wrong with this picture; this shouldn’t be hard for you at all. You feel a migraine coming on. That in turn causes you to drop Anon. He lets out a surprised yelp before hitting the ground rump first.

When he growls your eyes shoot open in fear. You try to cast another spell but you've exerted way too much. Nothing happens, and that’s when you realize you've ran out of magic. The closer he gets the more you start to back away. Despite being driven back you meet his glare with your own. Unfortunately you're not as intimidating as before.

The growth spell you've cast upon yourself is starting to fade. Instead of looking down on him you're now below eye level. When you feel your hind hooves hit the side of your bed, you realize you can no longer move back. This causes Anon to smile. You flinch when he cracks his knuckles. Your confidence is fading fast. Again and again you try to cast a spell only to have it fizzle away before it can be effective.

You find it hard to breathe, and in turn you start to hyperventilate. Your heart beat is growing so loud and rapid it’s almost deafening. You’re panicking and Anonymous knows it. You open your mouth to call for your guards but Anonymous is too fast for that. He has a hand over your muzzle and has silenced you. Your yelp is far too muffled to be heard.

It’s almost as if you’re reliving the first night you met him. When his spear went across your neck you froze in fear. Your life flashed before your eyes that night. You hated yourself for showing such weakness, but you’ve never faced something quite like him. When you don’t know everything there is to know about something you fear it out of instinct.

Sleep was in short supply for a few weeks after that night. Being so close to death, and having the one who nearly caused it to be working so close… You could feel your hair stand on end when you were near him. It wasn’t until a month passed did you find him to no longer be a threat. He did nothing more than bark, he no longer had a bite. So you saw fit to rub salt in the wounds. That was a foolish mistake, you can see now that all you did was add fuel to his fire.

“I think I figured it out,” he says in a cheery tone, “Magic Resistance. The reason why you’re always straining is because I’m naturally resistant to your magic.”

“W-what? How can this be possible?” But this explains how he weighs so much. How could you not have realized this sooner?! You really are a fool, and you’re about to pay for that.

You’re starting to get a little dizzy. Wait when did he put those flasks on your bed? You’re starting to lose bits of time as a result of your overexertion. You didn’t know you could feel this exhausted. You can hear the liquid sloshing around in one of the flasks he’s hold before he pops the top.

“You know after being so close to you, I take back what I said,” you raise a brow in confusion as he looks you over. “Maybe sleeping with you won’t be as terrible as I thought.” He looks from you, to the flask, then back to you. “In fact I guess you could say I’ve been rather lonely.” You would scream if he didn’t have his hand over your mouth. You’re going to try to cast another spell; this one will burn him alive!

He glances over your horn as it starts to glow. You smirk under his hand when you feel that you have the upper hand. But when his fingers wrap around the base of your horn you open your mouth and silently scream. The sensation is too much and your spell is disrupted. He doesn’t stop with a gentle squeeze either. You find yourself yelping out of pain as his grip tightens. It’s as if he were trying to snap it in half from pressure alone.

Thankfully he releases you, but the damage has already been done. Every time you think of casting a spell pain shoots through your skull now. When he grabs hold of your throat, you try to struggle out of his grip. He isn’t applying more pressure than necessary, enough to keep you from escaping; he’s not trying to silence you with this. With his hand away from your mouth you call for your guards again and again…

Anon POV

You've done it, you've actually done it. Thanks to Nightmare Moon's anger and arrogance you're given an opportunity that you will happily take. You smile as she calls out to her own guard, not realizing that not only is her room sound proof, but she's locked it. Even if they did hear her how are they getting in? It will take them too long to fly around the castle's exterior in order to break through the window so she's your little prisoner now.

Fear must have her in a vice grip if she can’t even remember the enchantments she made. You pop open the top of one of the two flasks. She’s desperate to escape from you, fearing your intentions.

She flails around, she twists her neck so that you're unable to hit your mark, but one swift strike to her side stuns her for a moment. She yelps in pain and you take this time to hold her steady. It doesn't take much effort for you to pour the contents of both flasks down her throat after that.

When she gulps them both down you step off of her, stand next to her bed, and wait. She looks over herself for a few moments before sending a glare your way. She gets to her hooves and starts trotting towards you, you in turn step back from her. You're going to give that liquor time to do its thing.

Your grin seems to only add fuel to the fire; because you disabled her magic she knows you're just toying with her, and that infuriates her. She lets loose a roar before breaking off into a gallop. That lasts for about two steps before she comes to a complete stop. You laugh when you see her pupils start to dilate. All four of her legs begin to shake violently as they attempt to keep her standing.

You walk over and lightly push her. She stumbles a bit and you laugh when she nearly ends up falling in the floor. Were it not for her bed she would have. Before she can steady herself you shove her so she ends up on her bed.

“W-what? Did you do to me?" Her body must be heating up because she can’t seem to stop panting.

“Oh I just gave you something your guards were going to have me drink is all." you answer before taking a seat next to her. She tries to move away from you, but she ends up going nowhere. As she rubs her back along her covers she ends up gasping and freezing in place. Her dilated eyes are wide with worry as she looks over her bed. You'll admit that her blankets are quite comfortable, but they shouldn't have that much of an effect.

Then realization hits you, "It's a good thing I don't trust them. They put a bit more into that little concoction then they told me." In order to test your theory you lightly run your fingers along her stomach. Nightmare's entire form quivers under your touch. When your fingers hit the center of her tummy she utters a quick moan. Her hooves fly up to her muzzle in order to muffle them. “Oh, I get it, you’re a lot more sensitive now huh?" you chuckle as she squirms under your unforgiving hand. Her body can't seem to stop shaking as you give her a tummy rub.

“S-S-Stop! Please," she breathlessly pleads, "I can't take it," that’s when you notice a musky odor permeates the air. You shake your head before cupping her jaw in your hand. You can’t believe she’s reacting this way from merely being touched. A small scratch causes her to yelp.

“Oh Nightmare I'm just getting started," your smile widens, "I'm gonna take my time turning you into a mess, and I'm sure you're going to love every moment." You lean in and plant a small kiss along the base of her neck.

“Ahn! I'll... Get you for this..." she trails off as you take your position on top of her. You've decided that you're going to start off by teasing her. If she's gotten this flustered from what little you did then this will be really enjoyable for you.

You’re going to make her pay for everything she’s done. For making you stand at attention for hours, for killing your friends, and for humiliating you daily. It’s your turn; you’re the one who’ll humiliate her instead. It started simple enough; your hands alone were more than enough to get her defiant body going.

In between gasps of ecstasy she would curse your name or she’d insult your masculinity. Nightmare would call you a coward for taking her in such a way. You just laughed her name-calling away. Due to your hands causing her to writhe in a combination of anguish and pleasure she was unable to escape. There would be no way out of what you have planned.

You wouldn’t offer her any sort of respite and you would not be gentle. When she’s broken and made useless you’ll dispose of her like the whorish tyrant she is. She angrily stares you down as you slowly make your way to her nether. Her ethereal tail does little to cover your prize. You push her legs open and lean in. You start by running a single finger along her soaked slit, and in return she unleashes a high pitched whine. You look up from your work to find her chest rising and falling rapidly with her breath.

Her eyes no longer show anger, instead they show fear. She’s afraid of what you’re going to do; as she should be. The scent from her sex is almost overwhelming. It causes your excitement to grow as you watch her lower half wink expectantly. The last bits of your inhibitions melt away as your member begins to harden in anticipation. You waste no time in taking off your robe and getting into position.

“W-what are you doing,” her wavering voice nearly breaks your concentration. She makes one final effort at escape, but she only managed to roll over. You grab hold of one of her now rigid wings at the base and she freezes in place. When she makes no motion to move you start to laugh.

“Thanks Nightmare, I didn’t want to see your face anyway.” It looks like keeping her wing in an iron grip is the best way to make sure she doesn’t struggle. The only thing she’s doing now is shaking like a leaf. She cranes her neck to look at you in distress; an utter transformation from the tyrannical mare that was looming over you just hours ago.

“You can’t do this to me!” she screams as you position your tip right outside her entrance. The lubrication dripping off her lips coats your member. With no thought on how Nightmare will take this you plunge into her depths. She screams as her walls are forcibly parted to make room for you.

This sensation, the feeling of warm, wet velvety walls wrapping around your member… You’ve gone for so long without this; it almost feels almost foreign to you. It takes everything you have to keep from losing your mind. You give yourself a few moments to gather your bearings. All the while you shut your eyes and focus on the way Nightmare’s interior moves around you.

Her insides hug around your member tightly, almost as if to milk you for everything you have before you even begin. You shake your head of these thoughts. This isn’t supposed to be pleasurable; it’s supposed to be a punishment. All that matters is her suffering, your enjoyment is supposed to come second.

“How does it feel Nightmare?” you chuckle as you start to pull yourself from her. Nightmare Moon growls in response. “To be violated by a dirty monkey like me, to be made into a helpless little foal?” Her look of pure agony is joy for you.

“I ha-hate you,” she trails off. You pull out until half of your shaft and tip remain inside her. Then you thrust with as much force as your hips will allow. When your hips meet with her plot, a wet slap resounds throughout her room. Nightmare lets out a shriek.

“Good,” Her interior clamps down upon your member. Her own body feels a though it’s trying to force you out. All she manages to do is elicit a grunt of pleasure from you. You repeat your pattern from before. Your thrusts start slow and you’re sure to buck back into Nightmare as hard as you can.

That stuff you had her drink must be doing a number on her. Judging by how wide you see her eyes get she can really feel your lower half. Her soaking entrance is slowly dampening the coat around her hole, as well as your crotch. You hear her say she hates you, yet her body betrays her.

So you give her everything you have. You adjust your hands positioning as you start to thrust into her at a faster pace. While one hand squeezes upon the base of her wing the other spanks each time you bury yourself to the hilt. With a twist of your hand upon her joint her screaming reaches a higher pitch.

“Please, st-stop,” Her whimpers do nothing to deter you. Unfortunately for her you have no intentions of doing so. Nightmare’s pained moans are like music to your ears as you continue your pattern. While you were hoping to provoke as much pain as possible during this little venture of yours, it doesn’t take long for you to lose yourself to the carnal pleasures her body bring you.

Each time you plunge deep within her, her walls seem to suck you in, refusing to let you go. She screams at you, begging for it to be over. When a minute has passed Nightmare’s body begins to convulse. Perhaps it was the way you dug your fingernails into the base of her wing, maybe it was because of how rough you were.

Regardless you’ve brought this dark tyrant to orgasm without doing anything more than letting out a fragment of your pent up frustrations. Her liquids now coat your thighs and a good portion of her bed. Her scent permeates throughout the room. She shivers with fright as you start to remove yourself from her mare parts.

Once your length leaves her completely she yelps in pain, and then she unfurls her wings and flaps once in hopes of getting away from you. When she saw your throbbing erection Nightmare knew you were going for another round. She’d do anything she could to escape. She manages to get a foot off of her bed before you act.

You quickly mount her like you would a horse back on Earth and tear into her open wings. When you pull back two handfuls of feathers she screams in agony before dropping back onto her bed.

“You bastard!” She shrieks as you go back for more. Your greedy hands reach in and pull back another tuft of her blackened feathers. During your bout of punishment she took to crying into her pillows silently praying for it to be over. When you were satisfied with the damage you’ve done you lean in and speak into her ear.

“Are you gonna try to run again?” she shakes her head, “Good, now let’s get back to it,” you make your way back to her abused hole yet again. This time you’ve got a new idea for where you’re going to stick your rock hard member. Her tiny, black puckered hole seems so inviting to your right now.

As you position the head of your member right upon her little ring she gasps before turning back to look at you. She shakes her head rapidly.

“You can’t do that!” she manages before yowling in pain. You had reached over and twisted your hand along one of her messed up wings.

“And why not?” When she’s able to speak again she answers.

“Because I poop from there,”

“Heh, not tonight you don’t.” you scoff.

“B-b-but the night lasts forever!” Then it dawns on her and you start to laugh as her jaw drops in surprise.

“I’m well aware of that,” you say before trying to work your tip into her. As expected you’re met with heavy resistance. You would threaten to remove more feathers, but that would probably hinder your attempts at getting in to her second hole. Instead you let your hands do the work for you.

While the fingers of your right hand start to tease her anus your left hand goes to work on her soaked depths. She cries out of pleasure as your fingers start to tease her clit and interior. It’s almost as if she forgot about you tearing out some of her feathers a mere moment ago. Judging by the look on her face she seems to be trying not to enjoy it, she bites her lower lip in order to stifle her moans.

She must feel so disgusted with herself for getting off to a monkey. You can’t help but smile at the thought. As your fingers work on her mare parts your venture with her anus starts to pay off. You’re able to fit in a portion of your index finger. She gasps at the sensation they bring. It takes patience, but with the way your digits are working it’ll soon pay off. After a few minutes of teasing you’re thrusting your index finger into her anus.

She convulses again when your middle finger joins your index. You look to find that more of her lubrication has spilled out of her creating a dark puddle in her sheets. When you take a look at her face you find her head resting on her pillow. Her tongue lolls out of her mouth as she pants in hopes of catching her breath. Her once black cheeks have become flushed from your actions. Her tired eyes look back into yours as you pick right back up. She bites into her pillows in a hopeless attempt at being silent.

When you’re able to fit two fingers comfortably within her back door you pull them out, same goes for the fingers that were teasing her clit. As you re-position your tip around her puckered hole again and start to enter you find that you meet much less resistance than before.

Regardless after your tip enters her tight ring it’s a labor to get half of your length into her. You yourself are panting by the time you’ve found a stopping point. Small thrusts are met with tiny yelps as you try to bury yourself deeper into Nightmare’s puckered hole. Again, patience is the key for this.

The more you thrust back into her the more of your member you’re able to fit. Though you have no idea how long you’ll be able to squat like this, your leg muscles aren’t the strongest. In fact you can already start to feel a slight hint of burning within your thighs. You fight through the impending strain and continue your prodding.

Finally, you sigh with satisfaction when the base of your shaft is squeezed by Nightmare’s tightened ring. The heat of her interior does well to fill you with the gusto needed for this act. Mercilessly you pound into her anus. With each thrust she howls in what you believe to be pain. Her punishment for each noise she makes is you stopping to pluck a feather from her wing.

This potion is doing wonders in order to help convey the feeling you want her to experience. The carnal pleasure of your member as it forcibly enters her again and again. The pain that comes from you removing each feather when she makes a sound does nothing more than make you press on. You’re sure she feels humiliated by the entirety of this event.

Minutes pass as her body starts to spasm for a third time this night. You stifle a moan as her walls quiver around your member. If you aren’t careful she’ll bring you to orgasm. You’re nowhere near finished with her yet, and you’ll be damned if your body gives out on you before you bring this to an end on your terms.

Her ragged breathing and shuddering form causes you to stop and lean in order to get a good look at her face.

“Tired already?” You’re answered with nothing more than heavy breathing. The heat radiating off of her body attests to the exhaustion she must be feeling. When she doesn’t answer you, you start to get angry. You reach out and grab hold of her ear. You pull it back as hard as you can, bringing her head with you as you do so.

She screams as her sensitive ear is made to feel as though it’s being torn from her head. Her tear filled eyes cast a glance over you.

“Don’t. Ignore. Me.” You hiss through clenched teeth. You give her a moment to gather her bearings so she can speak.

“I... don’t...” she starts. You silence her by removing your length until only the tip remains buried. She whimpers in what you believe to be discomfort.

“What was that?” you ask before wiping the sweat that’s collected upon your brow.

“I can’t believe it,” she says through her panting, “How can I be... enjoying this? You’re a filthy ape but my body, it…” she tries to continue, but you’ve heard enough out of her. This time when you plunge back into her depths your forcefully hilt within her. She lets out a sultry moan. ”More,” she whispers. Her ethereal mane seems to have a mind of its own. Small pinpricks of electric shocks seem to flow over your arms as her mane parts to wrap around your wrists. “Give me more,” she almost sounds as if she’s in a trance. This only causes your rage to boil into fury.

She is not supposed to feel good! She’s supposed to be angry, humiliated, and afraid. Her grip with her mane hasn’t tightened as of yet so you use that to your advantage. Before she can take your freedom away you try yet again to keep her submissive. More of her plumage is removed by your unforgiving hands. She screams from the sensation, yet her lips are twisted into an open mouthed grin.

“Stop having fun!” you shout as your hips get back to work. You’re going to ruin Nightmare and she’ll see just how low she’s fallen! You pull out all the stops, against the protests of your body you drill into her as hard as you can; minute after agonizing minute ticks on by as she’s brought to orgasm again and again. Each time you have to stop yourself in order to keep yourself from finishing. Her happy moans, the way her body moves with yours.

Many times your sight has gone white with bliss as she works with you. Just how long can you keep this up? You’ve been at this for ten minutes now. Your positioning has your thighs and calves burning from the labor. Sweat is pouring from your brow and body. You’ve slumped over Nightmare’s lower back in hopes of catching your breath. Her lubrication has since started coating the floor. The majority of her bed has become soaked from your efforts.

“Anon, please, I can feel each and every twitch of your gift, the torment is too much!” Your eyes widen in shock, and whatever hopes of revenge you’ve had start to crumble away. “Hurry up, rut my little hole raw,” she turns her head and nuzzles you. She’s grated your last nerve. With a feral roar you push your body past its limits.

Your hips seem to beg for reprieve as do your testis. You’ve denied yourself orgasm so much your nether region sends pain throughout you with each thrust. The adrenaline you’re running off of is running out, and within five minutes you’ve caused Nightmare Moon to go over the edge yet again.

This time, when you feel your own end on its way you lean in and start to speak into her ear. You’re going to give her something more than your seed as a parting gift.

“Flitter, Cloud Kicker, Snowflake,” you start. Like a sickening mantra you start to name off members of your group. The names of each pony she’s cruelly stolen the gift of life from. You’re going to be sure she remembers them before she joins them in Tartarus. As you finish with the last member of your squad your loins can take no more. With a final thrust you bury yourself deep within and release.

A wave of relief and euphoria washes over you as you pump load after load of your seed deep inside of Nightmare’s loosened hole. Her eyes have since rolled into the back of her head and she cries out in joy as you fill her up.

“It’s so hot,” she whimpers with joy as her body finally collapses upon her ruined sheets. Your rapidly softening member is removed from her anus without anything more than a wet pop. Your body has reached its breaking point. So much so that when you try to stand your legs collapse from the strain you’ve put them through.

The cold floors of Nightmare’s quarters do wonders to help perk you up. You find yourself crawling over to a nearby banner that’s attached to her wall. You find that this particular banner as a point at the bottom of its shaft. So that way she can plant a flag upon land she’s claimed. You’re going to plant her banner upon her own corpse.

Your legs feel like jelly, and they strain to help you stand. You’re forced to use her dresser as a means of getting to your feet. When your legs have finally stopped shaking you’re able to stand at least somewhat steadily. You reach out and remove the banner from her wall.

You eye the point of her flag before looking over Nightmare herself. She’s passed out from the labor her body has gone through, this is the perfect time. You lumber over to Nightmare, your legs nearly giving out on you when you get to her. When you feel that you’re ready to do this you raised the shaft over your head. You twist your hands upon the banner before shouting.

“Eternal night has come to an end! The nightmare’s over!” you bring the point of the shaft down with all the might you have left. Your target is her exposed neck. You smile with satisfaction as the point easily pierces her body. You find it surprising when you hit her mattress. Nightmare’s eyes open in shock and her jaw drops. Her entire body quivers as crimson starts to pour from her open wound. She looks right into your eyes one final time before the light leaves them. When her breathing stops you fall to your knees, and you laugh...

The guards eventually decided to check up on the two of you after some time has passed. When they realized the door was locked pounding followed in their wake. It took a lot of magic to break the lock and force the door open. What they saw was the scene of you passed out in the floor with their leader long dead on her bed.

They didn’t question why you were naked or about the smells. They didn’t care; what they did care about was that they no longer had their precious Nightmare Moon to guide them. You were branded a traitor and were punished as such. They had a special noose for a person of your caliber, and your public execution was not your most graceful moments.

They threw rotten fruit at you, they insulted you, they spat upon you. All the while you felt nothing but pity for them. To be indoctrinated by a tyrant, maybe one day they’ll realize your actions helped them. You let out one last breath before the noose is tightened around your neck.

The pony executing you doesn't bother to wear a hood. He wishes for you to see the identity of the one who pulls the lever. As he readies to end your life you look to the now morning sky, and you see the faces of your comrades. The warmth of the sun, the knowledge of what waits beyond... you’re ready to go.

“Friends, I’m coming home...” as you close your eyes and wait you feel the sudden sensation of air under your feet. Your final thoughts that pass before you meet your end are that at least your actions freed the Princesses. They’ll muster up the mane 6 and any other rebels that remain, and they’ll take Equestria back from the remnants of Nightmare Moon’s forces. The wood supporting your feet drops and your body is met with a sudden stop. The final sound you hear is the one of your neck snapping from the strain...

Author's Note

And here's the end to the main story of it.
It's terribly written, forced, OOC, and rushed I get it.
Please be gentle and wary for the alternate ending that'll come after this.

From Darkness to Dawn [Alternate Ending]

As you're about to plunge the banner into her neck one of her eyes glances over you with a lazy expression. As quick as lightning her silky ethereal mane wraps around your sensitive member. You yelp loudly and your vision blurs as she teases you with her locks. The sensation is too much for you. In turn you drop your weapon and fall to your knees. Nightmare lets out a throaty chuckle before getting to her hooves.

“You know, my magic may be ineffective, but I believe I've found a weakness I can exploit." Her smile widens as she draws near. She releases your member and you shakily get to your feet. From the way she's moving it’s as if her body has already recovered. Your eyes widen in shock as she trots towards you. You in turn back away, the two of you continue this little pattern until your back's against the wall. Her smile never leaves her face. “Surprised aren't you? I knew you would be, see we Alicorns may have low stamina like our pony counterparts, BUT we have excellent recovery time. Even that little potion's effects have reached its end."

You audibly gulp as your plan falls to shambles. Her mane is ice cold to the touch as it trails along your bare chest. When it wraps around your arms and neck you know that your end is drawing near. And to think, in your final moments of life you gave the creature you despised a pleasurable evening.

“Do it," you say quietly. Her ear perks up when you speak. You see her smile drop from her face. “Hurry and kill me, snap my neck. I can't bear the shame of losing twice." She shakes her head disapprovingly.

“Is that what you truly desire? How shameful Anonymous." Your mouth opens in shock at how her tone has changed. She actually sounds concerned for you. You'd laugh were you not staring down Death itself. “To think you would choose death after doing what you did to me…" You can do nothing as Nightmare takes advantage of your open mouth. When she finally pulls away the two of you pant in order to catch your collective breaths.

'Well, this is an interesting development,' you think to yourself. As you wipe away her saliva from your lips you find her smiling again.

“D-Did that work? I always figured a kiss would work, or something I dunno." Where did this come from? The urge to kill her is gone, and in its place confusion reigns supreme. You've never seen anything like this before.

“W-What?" You feel her mane go slack against you, finally releasing you. Nightmare scoffs.

“Did you honestly think that being a tyrant is the only thing about me?" Her expression turns angry, as if you've offended her. You can't even form a coherent sentence; you're still trying to figure out just what happened to the dictator. “Why do you think I let you live for as long as I did? If I really wished to kill you I would have done so."

“I thought you did that just to taunt me! And you threatened to burn down the place that took me in!"

“I wanted to make you angry. I don't think you understand just how much of an impact you've made on me."

"You wanted to make me angry?" Nightmare Moon snorts, growing impatient.

“Yes you fool! Do you have any idea what went through my mind the night we met?"

“Anger, hatred, disgust, surprise-"

“Yes yes yes of course. But, the way you glared at me with those... alluring eyes of yours…," She brings her forehead to yours so you're forced to look into her icy blue orbs. “The fiery passion that laid behind them... ever since that night I..." she clears her throat before moving back and looking away. “I just had to see it again... that's why I've been acting this way... I wanted you to become enraged and," The red tint to her cheeks contrasts her black coat, "have you take out your anger on my body."

Now it’s your turn to blush. You slide along the wall so you're no longer trapped by her. You need a few moments in order to come to terms to what's been laid out for you.

"But there's more to it than that, do you have any idea what's it’s like to want to be dominated, yet have no stallion brave enough to try?" She turns to you and continues her little rant. “You're not like my other soldiers Anonymous, you still have your independence, you still think freely. You do not kiss my hooves as willingly as my subjects, and I like that about you."

She exhales, her steam seemingly gone. "And yet you think I'll kill you? No Anonymous, as much as it pains me to say it you're much too valuable." You stand with a blank expression. The tyrant you've grown to hate is saying she has feelings for you. “To have somepo- someONE like you stay by my side would be a great gift, and not just for what you did to me just a few minutes ago," she scuffs the floor with her hoof.

It's as though a part of Luna remained within her. She’s as outspoken and rude as she is meek it seems, “I'm even willing to overlook the scar you've given me. Despite the fact that looking at it angers me greatly." Her smile returns, but you are unable to return it. You have your reasons for being how you are towards her. And her saying these things to you isn't swaying your opinion of her as much as she'd like to believe.

“I just, well, ugh how do I put this in simple terms? I'd like for what happened this night to happen again, and maybe for something more to come out of it as a result. I'm willing to compromise if that helps." Hearing that brings a lot of possibilities that could weigh out in your favor. Unless she's just buttering you up in order to have you willing to rut her like you did.

Regardless this change is quite refreshing, and if she's serious you might just be willing to try things her way for once.

“If you're serious Nightmare, I'll give it a try, but there are three things I'd like for you to do for me." She perks up when you speak.

"What are your terms, name them and I'll fulfill them to the best of my ability." When you name your standings her smile drops from her features “Are you serious?" You nod, she sighs deeply, "Fine, I shall accept these terms, but I want a few things in return. Insignificant things I assure you."

“And what would those be Nightmare?" She looks excited, she giggles to herself before listing off her terms.

“First, how I'm acting right now is to remain a secret. I cannot have my reputation tarnished." Understandable, if she acted like this her subjects would think her weak despite their indoctrination.

“Second, you are no longer allowed to be my guard, instead you are my consort, and we’ll see where it goes from there. You'll only have to answer to me and no other." You nod, understanding just how significant that is. “Third, you're going to be the big spoon when sharing my bed. Oh and yes you are to sleep with me. Your things will be moved into my Royal Bedchambers." You mull over the pros and cons of both sides.

If you refused things would more than likely to go back to the way things were, you would be her figurative bitch and she'd continue to rule with an iron hoof. But if you go along with it, not only are the perks great, but you might just come out with something more. You have to admit you can't bring yourself to hate this side of Nightmare Moon, you'll see how things play out.

"I accept," your answer is met with excited giggling. She merrily trots in place for a moment before making her way to her bed. When she climbs in it she uses her magic to dry the sheets. Then her eyes go half lidded as she beckons you over with a hoof. Admittedly, you're quite tired from the labors you've forced your body to endure, and sleep sounds heavenly...

You sluggishly make your way over to her bed and climb in it. As per your agreement you take your spot as the big spoon. When your arms wrap around her she sighs contently before snuggling into you. Despite the circumstances you find that sleep comes easy for you. The scent of blueberries helps you along. And when you wake up you find that Nightmare Moon has kept her end of the agreement…

You smile widely as for once in many days you actually have to shield your eyes as light pours into the window. She raised the sun for you... you hurriedly rub your eyes before making your way to her window. You peer out of it to see the populace shielding their eyes from the rays of light. More and more ponies leave their homes in order to bask in the warm glow of the sun.

A few erupt in cheers, others dance in the street, happy to finally have light fill the once dark lands. You cast your gaze to the courtyard to find ponies in shackles being released and set free into the town. The second part of your agreement has been fulfilled... and you know for a fact she'll keep the third as well. Your home will be left standing, untouched and free from the iron grip it had been forced to endure.

And to think, none of this would have been possible had you gone through with ending her life. The sound of her door opening catches your attention. You find the 'tyrant' herself, and she looks exhausted. She hasn't had to raise the sun since taking over; it's natural that she's tired. A lazy smile graces her lips as she sees the one you're giving her.

"I can't believe you actually did it Nightmare."

“Neither can I, I didn't think I could, but I had to honor our agreement, you did after all."

"That I did." You take the liberty of helping her to her bed. She'll definitely need to get more sleep. But not you, she probably announced that you've become her consort. That means when she's incapacitated you'll be ruling in her stead. A sly smile creeps upon your face when you realize the endless possibilities that now lay before you. First you're going to- a strand of her ethereal mane stops your thoughts.

“Come back to bed big spoon." Well, you'll do those things after another nap...

Author's Note

The people I wrote this for clamored for an ending where Nightmare was spared her fate.
Well, here it is. It makes no sense, it's forced, but it's done.

Hope you guys got some enjoyment out of this.
