  1. >Day of Our Empresses in Ye Olde Equestria
  2. >Be Anon
  3. >You are simply thrilled having come to this enchanted nation of speaking equines
  4. >In the last seven years, you have been molded into the very royalty you now serve
  5. >As a brilliant delegator of both Empress Luna and Empress Celestia, you spread their influence far beyond the walls of their glorious nation
  6. >When the sun smiles upon you, you dance the dance of logistics in the cities and squares
  7. >As the moon caresses your image, you gather the masses in esteemed song and praise
  8. >Everyday is a full day and everyday you grow close to your princesses and country
  9. >As of late, you have been spending longer waking hours at night
  10. >This night is no different
  11. A: Luna, my dearest, Luna! we hope to find you well on this auspicious night?
  12. L: Yes, my vassal! We are in high spirits as tonight marks the eve of your unity with our nation and that of Dragonia!
  13. A: T'was a simple feat, m'lady. As your aptitude had foresaw, an offering of simple trinkets in our mines slaked their thirst for battle as a sword would silence the drake by morn!
  14. >Luna smiles and moves to you
  15. >You bow to stay just a head below her majestic horn
  16. L: Rise this night, that we may behold you in true moonlight!
  17. >You are overcome...
  18. A: Yes, m'lady, as you wish!
  19. L: My vassal... it has been a thousand moons since we began and we feel a thousand more shall lay ahead of this nations reign with you at our side!
  20. >You smile to hear such accolade to your being
  21. A: We are honoured, princess...
  22. >You are interrupted quickly
  23. L: Please, we wish to be called, "Luna" by your tongue!
  24. A: 'Tis my tongue to twist such beautiful a name as, "Luna?"
  25. L: By your tongue, we wish it so
  26. >Luna moves closer to you and her presence sends chills into your core
  27. A: M'lady... Luna... what is this favoritism we sense this night?
  28. >The stars shine radiantly above and the galaxy hangs from Luna's mane
  29. >It swirls about you in a tautly fashion
  30. L: We wish to hear your tongue speaketh our name in our sanctuary, lest prying ears grow restless!
  31. >Surely, your princess means no ill to her sister?
  32. A: Lady Luna, we beseech thee! We would hold your name dear to our mouth, but not in vain to our princess Celestia!
  33. L: Dearest sister need not cross thy lips. We deem them precious to the court of the night!
  34. >Her eyes pin you with their majesty
  35. A: Luna... we speak with adoration, we speak of good tidings on your home. Dost thou wish, this auspicious night, we speaketh unto the night alone?
  36. L: Neigh! We wish not to twist -his- tongue for naught, save for betwixt -his- lady's own...
  37. >Luna's eyes lid and sparkle as her face draws near
  38. >This be the true life?! 'Tis not but fantasy?!
  39.  
  40. >In the chamber of the setting sun
  41. >Something wicked this way comes
  42. >Be Princess Celestia
  43. >You cannot sleep
  44. >Something is amiss and setting your wings on edge
  45. >You decide some fresh air may help ease your troubled mind
  46. >You step out of your bed and trot lightly to the veranda
  47. >The stars are burning furiously in the sky
  48. >What a strange sort of happening with peace looming all around
  49. C: We do not see what has our sister in the pangs of such passion...
  50. >You fly into the night and look for your forlorn sister
  51. C: Sister! We come to soothe you of your anger! Please respond!
  52. >You listen into the night with nothing save for the sound of stillness
  53. >It is there you see the black swirl of your sister
  54. >Before you can aide her, the curious intensity ends
  55. >Her mane parts and in it, you see your vassal removing his lips from a royal's mouth
  56. >You speed unto them
  57. C: Wretched vassal!
  58. >You sweep Anonymous from his feet with a great kick
  59. C: Unleash my sister from this spell!
  60. >Luna looks to you with ferocity
  61. L: What have you done?!
  62. C: Thank thee not, for we have come to aide you without utmost haste
  63. L: Aide us? Is our aide a broken vassal upon which we consummated our adoration?
  64. C: Adoration? Sister, we see you are ill. We shall summon the maids to bring you to your chambers...
  65. >Luna steps back from your caring embrace
  66. L: We are not ill, nor mad, but ill with a mad devotion for our vassal!
  67. >Anonymous holds his side and slowly gets to his feet
  68. C: Neight, I say! 'Tis immoral! 'Tis vile of you! Our vassal is but a lamb the likes of which will obey and serve faithfully!
  69. A: M'ladies... please... do not argue! 'Tis my fault, the erroneous act is ours and our shame alone!
  70. C: Silence, foal!
  71. >You pin Anonymous with a beam of radiant light
  72. >His screams are most pleasurable and deserving after his treacherous act
  73. L: Sister, no! Stop! He is hurting!
  74. C: 'Tis for your own good! What would the nation sing of the night mare?! What would the crows whisper on high to see such beast of burden mingling with royalty?!
  75. L: Sister, we beg of you! Release him before he is singed to bone!
  76. >You do not abide your sister and her childish fancy for this human
  77. >If she only knew the danger he would present to the whole of Equestria if word was spread
  78. >Royalty in the embrace of this human creature... it fuels your hatred and your magic redoubles
  79. >A sudden black miasma enervates the area
  80. L: We are little, but we are not without power!
  81. >Luna casts a barrier of night and in an instant, your powers are snuffed
  82. C: How dare thee take up magic against your sister! You would do well to learn respect!
  83. >Your sister is being as conceited as she is bullheaded
  84. >Why does she protect this worthless creature?
  85. C: Step down, Luna... We do not wish to bring harm to our ilk!
  86. L: We do not wish confrontation, sister! We wish peace among us three
  87. C: Us two! A third is not in attendance!
  88. >Anon looks up from his grave and reaches a hand out towards Luna
  89. >This impudent whelp will do good to learn his place!
  90. >Luna is suddenly in front of him and between you
  91. L: Halt! In the name of the night, by our right of blood and by our dominion over the throne, we shall not let you harm our vassal!
  92. C: No vassal of ours would embrace its master!
  93. L: Then you shall have no precedence over a vassal solely of our own...
  94. >Luna's eyes glow with a brilliant fury
  95. >Her stature grows, her fangs ready and her armour shines like the blackest seas
  96. C: My sister! You would fight for a beast of burden? Surely, you are not yourself?!
  97. NMM: Sister... we have never felt as alive until we have faced demise this closely tonight
  98. C: We would never... we love our sister! We love Luna!
  99. NMM: Do not twist your tongue... 'Tis wasted motion now...
  100. >A faint sound rings out
  101. A: L-Luna... my prin-cess... do not... fight... forgive her...
  102. >You see a tear well in Luna's eye as her magic engulfs Anonymous
  103. >His body slowly turns to stone
  104. A: We... love... you... our princess...
  105. >Anonymous is now frozen in time
  106. >You see no reason to spare his body at the end of this night either way
  107. NMM: Prepare yourself, -sister-, for the night mare has never shown a foe mercy!
  108. >Luna charges you and you can barely avoid her attack
  109. >She turns on a needle and attacks with a cruel dark blade
  110. >You draw your own radiant sword and envelope your body in the royal armour
  111. C: We... we do not wish to fight you...
  112. NMM: We sincerely believe this was your intentions from the beginning
  113. >Your swords collide with a shower of light
  114. >You are pressed near enough to whisper
  115. C: We saw the signs... we did not wish to believe...
  116. NMM: We felt your constant presence... we harmed none...
  117. C: We shall forever hold this grief in our heart, sister... 'tis for your own good now
  118. NMM: What trickery do you speak unto me?
  119. >You push Luna backward with a mighty ray of sunlight
  120. >As she stumbles, you pour your soul into a powerful spell
  121. >Luna looks up to you as your horn glows like daylight
  122. >A look of utter sadness plasters her face
  123. C: Did it not have to end as this?
  124. NMM: No... 'tis fitting a way to eternally end this night...
  125. >There is no holding back such destructive force
  126. >Luna is engulf by your spell and her body is scattered to the stars and moon
  127. >Separated amongst untold billions, but not dead, merely stretched
  128. >You hang your head in an overwhelming sorrow
  129. C: Sister... your night shall continue. We... we shall carry this burden...
  130. >It was the only way to help your sister
  131. >Scatter her being to the five winds
  132. >She will return in but a season
  133. >The life of your proud race is far too long, after all
  134. >You look to the stone form laying on the ground
  135. >Walking beside it, you place a hoof onto the head of the statute
  136. >It would be easy to crush it... to sever the head and end this affront to your rule...
  137. >But, 'tis never so simple, is it?
  138. >You have much to think about and you are given much time now
  139. >You remove your hoof and let Anonymous the Broken remain... for now
  140. C: 'Tis not dead, which may eternal lie... and, with strange aeons, even death may die...

  142. >You have much to plan...

  149. >The only event you remember is that faithful night
  150. >Your hatred for your sister fuels you as you traverse the stars
  151. >The only memory in your mind, the only reason you struggle so dearly to rebuild your body, is that of your vassal
  152. >You remember not his name nor why you need to see him, but you must
  153. >His image is burned into your mind so vividly you can almost feel his body on your own
  154. >Tonight, after untold years, you will finally have gathered the power to return to Equestria

  172. >The statue is overgrown with vegetation, resting as neatly as one could
  173. C: Sister... it have been so long... how old I have grown... how much has changed. Yet, I still feel the hatred you harbour for me and find it just and fair
  174. >You approach the statue of your vassal
  175. C: In this time... in ten centuries long since passed. I have waited for this day. Asking for forgiveness now would be childish
  176. >You move carefully along your vassal's body and remove clumps of weeds
  177. C: She stills remembers you, Anonymous. She still holds dear your memory. What a foal I was those years back
  178. >You finish cleaning Anon's body and attempt to make contact with his psyche
  179. >He is nothing but a lovely dreamer as he was yesterday and everyday you have examined him since that horrible night

  190. >Their concern for you, their friend, makes you realize what was missing
  191. >You explain your epiphany to Night Mare Moon with a knowing smirk plastered to your face
  192. TS: You think you can destroy The Elements of Harmony just like that? Well, you're wrong, because the spirits of The Elements of Harmony are right -here-
  193. >You greet and announce your friends as they enter
  194. NMM: You still don't have the sixth Element! The spark didn't work!
  195. >You smile and stand beside your new friends
  196. TS: But it did! A different kind of spark. I felt it the very moment I realized how happy I was to hear you, to see you, how much I cared about you. The spark ignited inside me when I realized that you all are... my friends! You see, Nightmare Moon, when those Elements are ignited by the... the spark, that resides in the heart of us all, it creates the sixth element: the element of... magic!

  209. >You look to Celestia as you approach a dusty wing of the castle
  210. >'Tis odd to see it so disheveled when the rest of the castle has remained intact
  211. >You walk out into the sunlight and your eyes wince from the sight
  212. >As they adjust, you see a pristine statue laying on the stones of the balcony
  213. >Something seems familiar about this statue... you cannot place your hoof on it
  214. C: Sister... it has been so long, I do not know if this will work. Please, join in my spell and lend me your power
  215. >You witness a simple unbinding spell begin and gladly accept
  216. >It is directed towards the statue?

  231. A: My empress... you forget your vassal? The night of our departure? Tell us 'tis not truth?
  232. L: We are unsure of you... our vassal? We remember a vassal, we remember not who they were!
  233. >The creature before you seems despondent
  234. A: Princess Celestia... what has transpired on this day? Where was the night of our fancy?
  235. >You have no recollection of such a night with Anonymous!

  247. >You stagger to him, not entirely certain of your actions and hold him in your wings
  248. A: Princess! We have lost you to time! We knew of the splendor of your moonlight so long ago and 'tis never to be again! Why cast this shadow of nothingness as your vassal any longer? Gone are our times as the new moon rises and in our image stands naught but those ravaged by the sand's of the past...
  249. >Anon slumps beside you in sheer hopelessness
  250. >Why do you wish to cradle him like a babe? Where does this feeling arise from and to when does it belong?
  251. L: Anonymous, we are not lost to our vassal. We just... cannot remember everything so clearly yet! Come! We shall spend the day recounting tales of our fellowship!

  365. >You have your doubts about a unicorn in such a lowly area... perhaps times have changed more than you have thought
  366. A: Kind maiden!
  367. >Your royal voice seems to make the unicorn flinch
  368. A: We are intrigued to see thee in Ponyville! Dost thou come bearing royal duty?
  369. >Her eyes light for a moment with enthusiasm
  370. TS: Why, yes, I do! Princess Celestia has sent me here to learn about friendship and report my findings to her
  371. A: 'Tis a... strange request from our Princess... however, we are overjoyed to find another servant of Her majesty!
  372. >The unicorn chuckles nervously
  373. TS: Yes, I see... maybe you can stop shouting?
  374. A: We are not shouting! merely speaking in the traditional royal Canterlot voice!
  375. >You gesture your arm to show stateliness
  376. TS: You will probably meet a lot more ponies if you... well, maybe if you lower your voice
  377. >You look over this unicorn sternly
  378. A: Does the royal voice no longer hold meaning in this day?
  379. TS: It's kind of... old-fashioned...
  380. >Antiquated!?
  381. A: We... are... antiquated. How time marches upon us...
  382. TS: No, no, I didn't mean it like that! I meant... well, nop0ny uses it much... where are you from anyhow?
  383. A: We are from...
  384. >You cannot recall after so long
  385. A: We are from Canterlot?
  386. TS: You don't look like a pony, no offense. Are you sure you are from Canterlot?
  387. A: We are sure!
  388. >Oops, no shouting
  389. TS: Ah ha ha, yes, OK, we see you're serious about this... why don't you come inside? We can discuss more about whatever you are
  390. A: That... that would be the best course of action...
  391. >You slump a little and follow Twilight Sparkle inside
  392. >Over the next few hours, you learn a great deal about this new world as well as teach Twilight Sparkle a great deal about the human animal
  393. TS: My books have nothing about humans... but, maybe...
  394. >Twilight reaches for a book titled -Predictions and Prophecies-
  395. >She skims through it quickly before announcing something
  396. TS: There is an addendum that mentions something about a statue... it kind of describes something that looks like you. Ah, but without a picture, it's not a perfect connection. You wouldn't happen to have anything to do with Luna, would you?
  397. >You slam an open palm to a table
  398. A: Princess Luna!
  399. >Twilight jumps back with a little start
  400. TS: Yes... Princess Luna
  401. >You look at her with scorn for her disrespect before calming yourself
  402. A: We are sorry... we know our empress has been away for quite some time
  403. >Twilight mulls over her tea
  404. TS: Did you... were you on the moon with her?
  405. A: No... how we wish we were there for our Princess in her moment of defeat
  406. TS: Do you actually know what happened to Night Mare Moon?
  407. >The events are vague in your mind, but you know the characters all too well
  408. >You look to this bright-eyed youth, how can you tell her that her beloved Princess of the Sun smote you and banished your empress?
  409. A: The events are... muddled at best. We would be no help in this tale...
  410. >You look at your reflection in your cup
  411. >Has it really been a thousand years?
  412. TS: Well, I am going to be meeting my friends today. You should come with me and learn more about Ponyville
  413. A: Perhaps you are correct. We shall take up this offer!
  414. TS: Just keep the shouting to a minimum
  415. >You nod and smile politely
  416. >It is some time later than Twilight has gathered all her friends and you are together in a pegasus' home
  417. >It is strange to see a pegasus living on the ground... but so much is strange in this world
  418. TS: Hello, everyp0ny, we have a guest joining us today. His name is Anonymous and he's from my home of Canterlot
  419. >You wave casually to your once-loyal subjects
  420. R: -He- is from Canterlot? I would never have known from his fashion...
  421. >You imagine your suit is... antiquated...
  422. RD: What -is- he even?
  423. >The cyan pony slurps loudly in her cup as she eyes you
  424. TS: Anonymous is a human... a rare and exotic animal in Equestria. Possibly one of a kind!
  425. F: Oh... is he properly protected under endangered species laws?
  426. AJ: Where's yer cutie mark, big fella?
  427. >A Pink pony enters the nook with a tray of baked goods
  428. >She sets them on the table and giggles loudly
  429. PP: Well, I think Anonymous is gonna be a great new friend!
  430. >This... this makes you more grateful than you would imagine, even if it is from an earth caste
  431. PP: Tell us, mister frowny face, what's your favorite kind of cupcake?
  432. A: We do not know what a, "cupcake" is... but, any would please us dearly
  433. >The energetic pony gasps at you and holds her face in her hooves
  434. PP: Oh, boy... this is gonna take a lot of work! Here, have one of each!
  435. >You do as instructed and bite into the first
  436. >A grand flavor of strawberry and sweetness
  437. >The second is of an earthy seed and ripe apples
  438. >With a taste of the final cupcake, you find it to be the most exquisite taste in all of Equestria
  439. A: What is this delectable taste, chef?
  440. >The pink one giggles
  441. PP: My name's not, "chef", silly! It's Pinkie! And that cupcake is blueberry and cream!
  442. A: Where does one acquire blueberry?
  443. PP: The Cakes import it from Dragonia! They grow the best blueberries
  444. >You look at this treacherous cupcake and lay it back on the plate
  445. A: We are in trade with Dragonia? Seems like only yesterday they were burning down our cities...
  446. >The table is quiet all around now until the cyan pony speaks
  447. RD: Wow, dark, bro. Anyways... I should go. Got a lot of practicing to do
  448. >The other ponies stretch or yawn and admit to some henceforth activity
  449. >You stay behind and help the yellow one clean
  450. F: So... Anonymous... you are a human... I've never seen a human before
  451. A: And now you have! Sometimes, life has a certain majesty to it all
  452. F: I am surprised you can speak... you know, not every animal can vocalize
  453. A: 'Tis true
  454. >This chatter is difficult at best
  455. F: My name is Fluttershy, that is, if you were wondering?
  456. A: Pleasure to meet you, m'lady
  457. >You finish the dishes and leave them to dry
  458. >You remove your coat and vest to let them dry as well
  459. >Would have been wise to remove them -before- washing...
  460. F: So... what's it like?
  461. >You sit on a stool
  462. A: What is what like?
  463. F: To be human?
  464. A: We... are unsure of the question? Dost thou mean to ask, "What is the fancies of living?" or mayhap, "What is the act of being a human animal?"
  465. F: The, uh... the second question?
  466. A: The act of being human is to strive and to serve. In all works and all arts, classical and theoretical, we must preserver to create a greater world for the next generation
  467. F: Oh... that sounds... scary
  468. >Fluttershy hides her face in her bangs and lets go of a squeaking yelp
  469. A: 'Tis not... 'tis just human
  470. >You nod solemnly
  471. F: Anonymous... I know we just met, but, well, could I have a picture of you for my nature guide?
  472. A: We have been trotted about as a show-pony before... why not?!
  473. >Fluttershy taps her hooves together in glee and rushes to grab an... easel?
  474. >She returns with some wondrous mechanical contraption about her neck
  475. F: OK now, just stand still, but look natural... OK, perfect
  476. >Your eyes are stabbed by the flash of a neon light
  477. >You blink the spots away for a moment
  478. >Before you, Fluttershy holds an exact replica of you
  479. A: What incredible sorcery! Explain this to us!
  480. F: Oh, it's just my Neighkon camera... bought it yesterday
  481. >Her smile reaches ear to ear
  482. A: How does one capture an image so vividly, though?
  483. F: Oh, well... it has a 1/16,000 shutter speed with an auto-focusing aperture, red-eye reduction, and a 30-110 millimeter lens... they even had one in yellow
  484. >You are sure this is magi babble and just nod easily
  485. F: But, um... thank you, for the picture
  486. A: You too?
  487. >How do you answer this?
  488. A: We feel we should be leaving now. 'Twas an excellent evening and we thank thee greatly for the tea
  489. F: You're very welcome, Anonymous
  490. A: You may call us, "Anon" if you please?
  491. F: Oh, sure thing, Anon
  492. >Blush plays lightly on her face
  493. A: Fare-thee-well, Fluttershy!
  494. F: You too, Anon!
  495. >You exit the cottage to find Fluttershy and yourself walking along the same path
  496. >Well, this is uncomfortable after just having said your farewells
  497. F: Oh, sorry, I was heading to the market...
  498. A: We suppose that is in the same direction as the train station
  499. F: Oh? Where are you going this late in the day?
  500. A: Our home in Canterlot
  501. >Fluttershy looks nervously around
  502. F: But, you just got here... why don't you stay a little bit longer?
  503. A: We do not mind this place, 'tis true we would not mind staying in Ponyville and learning of the new ways in which to live... where would we find room and board though?
  504. F: Anon, you could sleep over at my house. I have plenty of room and it would be no problem at all
  505. >You contemplate such actions
  506. >Would it be rude to sleep in a commoner's dwelling?
  507. >Does it make you less of a royal to be fraternizing in such a way?
  508. >Fornicate the notion! This Fluttershy may be the kindest commoner you have met in all your days
  509. A: We will gladly accept your offer on the ground that we at least give a day's tithe
  510. >Fluttershy seems confused at your intentions
  511. >You hand over the small sum of money you have on you
  512. F: Anon... these are... these are Flowing Mane Dollars...
  513. A: We know, 'tis not much...
  514. >She eyes it as if it was a piece of art to be on display
  515. F: This could buy a new shed for my tools... and a new coup for the chickens... and another garden hose... and new dishes...
  516. >You can almost feel Fluttershy salivating over the bit you gave her
  517. A: Then we suppose we are happy with our contribution!
  518. >You spend the rest of the evening fantasizing about the days of yore
  519. >Was there anything you could have done differently?
  520. >You can nearly feel your princess' embrace again
  521. >How you long for her touch again
  522. >Her lips... her face... magnificent luminous eyes...
  523. >You swoon as you imagine what once was
  524. >O', how the mighty do fall
  525. F: Anon? Hey, Anon?
  526. A: Oh, yes, may we assist you?
  527. >You shake your head to shake off the dream
  528. F: Thank you for carrying all these groceries for me. I'll get the door
  529. >Fluttershy flies over and opens her front doorway
  530. >You walk in and deposit her items on the kitchen floor
  531. >She goes about arranging them on top of shelves and under cabinets
  532. A: Thank you for your kindness
  533. F: Oh, no need to thank me. Any one would do it for a friend
  534. >The words echo in your mind and you smile easily
  535. >You help Fluttershy clean up and decide to turn in
  536. F: Aww, you look like such a sleepy head
  537. A: We are indeed tired... it has been our first day in Ponyville in... a long time
  538. F: You never did tell me about where you are from
  539. A: 'Tis a long and arduous story... possibly in the morning
  540. F: Oh! Thant reminds me, do you like pancakes or oatmeal for breakfast?
  541. A: We would appreciate either, thank you
  542. >Fluttershy smiles and leads you up the stairs
  543. >Her house is quite large despite how it appears from the outside
  544. >You come to a quaint room with a simple bed in the center and a nice quilt of downy feather
  545. A: This room shall be lovely for tonight...
  546. >You catch the light of the moon outside the window and are fixated for a moment
  547. >You retire your clothing of the day to a nearby chair and rest your wearing bones
  548. >Luna would have come for you by now had she been looking
  549. >As her vassal, you could always feel her influence from a great distance when she wanted you
  550. >Tonight is yourself and yourself alone
  551. >You huddle up into a ball
  552. A: If only one night, unto first morning's light... we will always be... in the guiding moon's sight
  553. >You sob lightly as you finish your silly rhymes
  554. >Why did it take so long to see the signs?
  555. >Why did it take a kiss to cast this spell on your soul?
  556. >You pray sleep will see you well
  557. >The sound of hoof falls beset you as a weight shifts into the bed
  558. F: Anon... I heard you crying... what happened?
  559. A: Were we so loud as to arouse you?
  560. >Fluttershy blushes for a moment
  561. F: N-no! Nothing like that... I just... well, sometimes...
  562. >Why is she fumbling for words?
  563. >You feel her hoof wrap around your body
  564. F: I just came to see if you were hurt... I wouldn't want anything to happen to you
  565. A: That is most kind, however...
  566. F: No, "buts", mister. Fluttershy's here to make you feel all better
  567. >You are not some coddled child who needs a maid!
  568. >You feel Fluttershy's entire body press against you
  569. >Small and warm... soft and caring...
  570. >You think of her again
  571. F: I'll hold you tight if you need it... or tighter, if you'd like?
  572. A: We fear it is for naught. The pain will not subside so easily
  573. F: Oh? Where does it hurt? How did you get hurt?
  574. >You roll over to face your friend
  575. >Fluttershy replaces her hooves on you and pulls herself in close
  576. A: A long time ago, in a nation ruled by violence... there was a beautiful mare cast into the shadows of her duty
  577. >Fluttershy's eyes lock with your own
  578. A: She wanted nothing but her subjects to be contented and gambol in the moonlight. One eve, she came upon a discovery that would change her melancholy state forever. It would be many a year, but the beautiful mare would continue her duty without incident nor scorn
  579. >Fluttershy moves closer to you
  580. A: On this faithful night, after her royal obligations were fulfilled, the beautiful mare called upon her discovery. There in the light of the moon, the two would become each other's fancy and hold together for the longest moment time could offer
  581. >You go silent for a long while before Fluttershy begins
  582. F: W-what happened next?
  583. A: The beautiful mare would never behold her fancy again...
  584. F: Oh, you didn't warn me this story was sad...
  585. >Fluttershy hugs your closer still
  586. A: We think 'tis a cautionary tale. We believe it could...
  587. >You are interrupted when you feel something wet along your neck
  588. A: Fluttershy... what are you doing?
  589. >She does not speak, instead, you feel another wet press of her lips to your neck
  590. F: It always hurts when somep0ny goes away
  591. >You feel a groping hoof rub your chest in the darkness
  592. F: But... you shouldn't be sad... because your new best friend Fluttershy will be here for you
  593. >You feel a kiss under your chin as Fluttershy works her way upwards
  594. >You feel demoralized as her mouth draws closer to your own
  595. A: Fluttershy... we are... uncertain of such an early draw
  596. F: Shh, shh... when I saw you looking so sad, well, I just knew you needed me tonight
  597. >Do you need a body beside you this night?
  598. >You tilt your head back and look up at the moon shining brilliantly
  599. >My Princess, wherefore have you departed?
  600. >Fluttershy's face comes into view with your own
  601. F: You're going to be safe with me, Anon... I would never hurt you... you're special, I can tell
  602. >You hardly listen as you stare at the moon
  603. >A mouth presses upon your own and you feel a pony's muzzle
  604. >'Tis not a matter of who's it belongs to with the moon in your eye
  605. >The kiss ends shortly and Fluttershy catches your attention
  606. F: Did you like that? Was I doing it right?
  607. >You stare back with a listless gaze
  608. A: It was very well... everything is under the moonlight...
  609. F: S-so, do you want to do more?
  610. A: We have nary a complaint this night...
  611. >Fluttershy needs no further coaxing from you
  612. >You can feel her body climb atop your own
  613. >You have no passion in you to move
  614. >Her skillful hooves take out your manhood and she admires you for a moment
  615. F: Oh, my... this is bigger than I thought...
  616. >You care not for compliments tonight
  617. F: I-I'm going to start now, OK?
  618. >You nod vacantly
  619. >Her slick lily envelopes much more easily than she first let on
  620. >You feel her hips join you for the first of many times
  621. F: Ohh~, do you... are you enjoying this?
  622. >She rocks slowly in your lap, savoring your length and breadth
  623. >You nod with dead eyes
  624. >You wonder for the moment what are you doing?
  625. >This is not what you want, this is not who you want
  626. >The yellow mare above you loses her inhibitions as her body takes hold of your own
  627. F: It's... it's so good... tell me... you like it too?
  628. >You place your hands on her backside and steady her wobbling pace
  629. A: 'Tis a fine end to so finer a night
  630. >You dream of her as each inch of your flesh is devoured by the hungry, yellow mare
  631. >What beauty the moon does have
  632. >A sigh escapes your lips as Fluttershy turns her rump upward
  633. F: Oh... did you... ahh~, like that?
  634. >You whisper well under your breath
  635. A: Yes, my princess...
  636. F: What, ooh~, what did you sa~ay?
  637. A: We do agree...
  638. >Fluttershy lifts herself higher and higher as her body heat threatens to scold you
  639. F: A-Anon... tell me... tell me my wings, aah~! Tell me they're, "Pretty"! Ooh~
  640. >You look at her small, tousled wings
  641. A: Yes... they are a fine pair
  642. >Your hollow comments push her body to the verge of need
  643. >Her body thirsts for your own in such a way you have never seen on a mare
  644. >Fluttershy's tongue hangs loosely from her dripping maw and her hooves hold your neck tightly
  645. >It is not without effect on you, let it be said, that you too are nearing your peak
  646. F: I... oh... can't...
  647. >With a grunt and the sound of slab of meat hitting the marble, Fluttershy meets your body for the last time
  648. >You feel her sex convulse and draw you further in
  649. >You do not reach the final moment without a few more thrusts of your own accord
  650. >Fluttershy does not disappoint and her body drinks deeply from your wellspring
  651. >Fluttershy holds around your neck even as you remove her from you
  652. >She lays beside you now and pants like a dog in heat
  653. F: This is... this was so good... I love you, Anon
  654. >The words fall from you into nothingness
  655. A: We apologize... we do not return such sentiment
  656. >You look back up at the moon
  657. >Why does it haunt you so?
  658. F: B-but... I made you cum... I let you even do it inside me
  659. >You look over to your small lover
  660. A: We thank thee, it has been some time. But, love is not measured in thrusts nor ounces
  661. >Fluttershy looks to you with misty eyes and pout
  662. A: Fear not... you are skilled in such activities...
  663. >You hold her closely now as if embracing her would mean anything
  664. >Her hooves wrap around your chest and her mane lays delicately on your neck
  665. F: Do you hate me? I know... I know I came on strong
  666. A: We do not... we simply cannot love a commoner. 'Tis not in nature of our class to do so
  667. >Fluttershy looks confused and sniffles lightly
  668. F: We can at least... stay like this? Just for one night?
  669. A: At the very least, we owe you for your infinite kindness
  670. F: Thank you, Anon... I still love you
  671. >This mare will be trouble, to that you have no doubt
  672. >And though the moon gazes upon your lustful shame, you care not tonight
  673. >Princess Luna is not your own anymore
  674. >You ponder the ramification of this encounter
  675. >You can attest to taking a meager pleasure in
  676. >Fucking Fluttershy

  699. >Fluttershy blushes nervously
  700. F: Well, last night was... oh, just magical, Anon
  701. A: 'Twas nothing of the sort. We shared but a fleeting instant of infatuation and slake our most carnal needs
  702. F: -You- say it like that... but, I am sure your body was telling me a different story
  703. >You nod without argument
  704. A: 'Tis true we may have been a bit... -pent- up, if you will... you were an excellent host from beginning to end
  705. F: I really liked when you kissed me... you know where... I never even heard of two ponies doing -that- before. J-just thinking about it is kind of exciting...

  712. >It is Twilight Sparkle and she seems displeased to find you at Fluttershy's door
  713. TS: Anon! What are you doing in Fluttershy's house?
  714. A: We were enjoying a hot meal in good company. Pray tell, how can we assist you this fine day?

  728. F: ... I left for the fruit bats...
  729. >Fluttershy is nearly shaking in fear now
  730. >Twilight looks at her and then to you
  731. TS: I hope your -monkey- problem won't interfere with Anon's work here in Ponyville
  732. F: Oh, heavens, no! Anon is free to do whatever he needs to
  733. TS: Good, because it would be a shame to see -him- being -interrupted- by -somep0ny- when he's working
  734. A: M'lady, Sparkle... we think you claim more authority than one should
  735. TS: I am just watching out for your well being. I know somep0nies in Ponyville act different behind closed doors
  736. >Twilight Sparkle stares intently at Fluttershy
  737. A: 'Tis true, yet Fluttershy has shown me nothing but kindness and care. We are a burden upon her peaceful home if any matter is to be weighed
  738. >Twilight thinks over your words for a moment and nods in agreement
  739. TS: If you say so... just don't get into any trouble the Princess would not
  740. A: Hah! Of course not! Thank you for such ample advice
  741. >You chuckle lightly and wave Twilight your farewells
  742. >When the unicorn disappears past the cobblestone path, you look to Fluttershy
  743. A: 'Twas an interesting eve, in so many words. We thank you, Fluttershy, for the stay and meal and all the kindness you bestowed
  744. F: A-and the, um... you know... in my bed?
  745. A: Enjoyable in body and fulfilling of the base urges we all share...
  746. F: So, that's a good thing, right?
  747. >You pet Fluttershy's head and set out into the rising sun
  748. >The yellow mare watches you walk off without a sound
  749. >You stumble through town on your way to the train station
  750. >Being away from Canterlot for a single night has you wistful
  751. >What if your Princess had come for you in the night after all?
  752. >Would you have given in as easily?
  753. >The sound of an argument nearby breaks your trance and you investigate
  754. >Three fillies of varying castes are scuffling with cock
  755. A: Subjects! Why dost this fowl earn your scorn?
  756. >The three cease their brawl and the cock flies away
  757. SL: What did he say?
  758. AB: Ah don't know... Ah think he's speakin' in minotaur
  759. SB: He doesn't -look- like a minotaur
  760. AB: Maybe he's a -baby- minotaur?
  761. SL: That would explain why he doesn't have horns yet
  762. >These foals are trying your patients
  763. A: We are no minotaur, but a human!
  764. SL: Alright, jeez, no need to shout...
  765. >Shouting?
  766. A: We are not shouting! We are merely conveying out message in the royal Canterlot way!
  767. >You notice quite a few ponies around the square have also stopped to look upon you
  768. >You bring your voice to a royal whisper
  769. A: We do apologize... we heard your cries of anger and merely came to aid you
  770. SB: Aww, that's so nice of you, mister... human?
  771. A: You can call me, "Anonymous"
  772. SL: That's a silly name...
  773. SB: Wouldn't that mean that we still don't know your name? "Anonymous" means not being identified by a name
  774. >The pegasus and earth caste ponies look to the unicorn
  775. SL: What are you? A dictionary?
  776. AB: Ah think his name's fine
  777. >The unicorn puffs her face and deflates quickly
  778. SL: Hey! I got an idea, girls!
  779. >The three huddle closely and you can scarcely hear what they are saying
  780. >Every now and again, one will lift their head up to look at you before ducking back down
  781. AB: So, Anonymous, how's 'bout we tag along with'ya today an' learn all 'bout Canterlot?
  782. >You see a gleam in her small eyes that is off-putting
  783. A: We are... unsure...
  784. SB: Aww, come on! We'll be good, we promise!
  785. >The unicorn pouts and mists her eyes
  786. >That face...
  787. A: Fine...
  788. >The three bounce around you and cheer
  789. SL+AB+SB: Cutie Mark Crusaders Human Assisters!
  790. >You feel that your infinite generosity and royal resolve is about to be sorely tested this day
  791. >The train ride to Canterlot is precisely uneventful
  792. >To see train routes not beset by fencing or magical barriers is truly incredible
  793. >You can only speculate when the last dragon attacked your faire city
  794. >Peace, while welcomed, was strange
  795. >The four of you arrive at the station and exit to the platform
  796. SB: So, where do you live, Anonymous?
  797. SL: Yeah! What's a human house look like?
  798. >You point off into the distance
  799. AB: Oh, ya' live behind the castle?
  800. >You shake your head from side to side
  801. A: We live -in- the castle
  802. >The three fillies look at you in wonderment
  803. SB: Does Princess Celestia know?
  804. A: Yes, our empress was the very soul to instate us therein
  805. AB: Did anyp0ny ever tell ya' yew talk funny?
  806. >You sigh at how inattentive these fillies seem to be
  807. >You walk along through the streets of Canterlot for the first time in daylight
  808. >Many unicorns make up the population, as was once right, but today you see a minority of pegasi and earth caste as well
  809. >What a strange and tolerant world
  810. SB: Oh, Anon! Look! They have a dress store!
  811. AB: Startin'a sound like Rarity there
  812. SB: And you're starting to sound like Applejack
  813. >The two lock eyes and butt heads for a moment before laughing
  814. >You continue walking by to a symphony of gasps as the ponies of this new world see something like you for the first time
  815. >You remember the trouble of befriending ponies of your time, though being able to kill dragons did assist in being accepted
  816. >You moan to yourself and approach the gates of the palace
  817. SL: So, what's it like being so tall?
  818. A: 'Tis the same as being one so small. We just see you when we bow as you see us when you pray...
  819. >You nearly chuckle at that phrase... Celestia always had a way with rhymes
  820. >You cross through the guards with your fillies in tow and enter the castle doors
  821. >A guard greets you at the door and announces your arrival
  822. Guard: Sir Anonymous... the Princess has been expecting your return and wish for you to meet her post-haste!
  823. >You nod and walk along to the throne room
  824. >The guard eyes your band of foals, but seems to withhold his comment
  825. SB: Wow, this place is -beautiful-!
  826. SL: Look how high the ceilings are!
  827. AB: Ah bet we could try base jumpin' here!
  828. >You aim a stern look in the earth caste's direction
  829. A: If you would mind yourselves, we are to meet the Princess of the Sun. Her majesty, Celestia
  830. >The name leaves a sour taste on your tongue
  831. >The three fillies do seem to understand this and walk neatly behind you
  832. >As you enter the throne room, a guard sounds a horn
  833. G: Now arriving, Sir Anonymous... and his kind?
  834. >The guard whispers to the other guard about the strange fillies
  835. >They both shrug and try to look stern and ready
  836. C: Anonymous! We had sent a messenger to your chambers to find you were gone. We discovered you in Ponyville at sunrise. I hope the trip was nice and relations are going well?
  837. >You kneel on one knee with your head hung downward, as is tradition
  838. A: Empress...
  839. C: Please, call me, "Celestia"
  840. A: ... Princess Celestia... we were taking in the sights and sounds of this new era. Much has changed and we fear we are... antiquated
  841. >Celestia strides easily from her throne to you
  842. C: Anonymous, do not feel this way. Time has changed much however, you simply need to learn about this new age. I am sure you have noticed the peace you worked so hard to achieve
  843. >You smirk
  844. A: We do... we did not see one filthy wyrm or vile drake in the sky
  845. C: Do be careful with that kind of language... the peace is held together with tenuous bonds
  846. A: As you wish, m'lady, we shall...
  847. >A cacophony of calls come from your miniature companions
  848. AB: Woah, the Princess sher is pretty!
  849. SB: And so elegant!
  850. SL: And her wings are so cool!
  851. C: I see you've brought guests today? Who are these little fillies your chauffeuring?
  852. AB: Mah name's, "Applebloom", Princess!
  853. SL: I'm Scootaloo!
  854. SB: And I'm Sweetie Belle! Pleasure to meet you!
  855. >They all bow before the Princess
  856. >You suppose they had learned -some- etiquette after all
  857. C: It is likewise charming to meet you three. I hope Anon here has been a generous host?
  858. >Celestia winks at you and smiles
  859. >You could swear upon your eyes that she was not the mare you remember from that horrible night
  860. >This doppelganger before you must be another for you know the wrath of the unyielding sun
  861. A: Princess Celestia... we have arrived at your summons and wish to know more of our task ahead?
  862. C: Task? Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me. I have summoned you here to bring a prized tome to a pupil of mine. Her name is Twilight Sparkle. I trust you two have already met?
  863. A: Wise as always, our Princess. We will happily depart after food and bath, if it pleases m'lady?
  864. C: Of course! I was going to tell you to get a bath when you could
  865. >Celestia chuckles and moves in close to whisper
  866. C: You smell a bit like a stray mare today, if you catch my drift
  867. >Your face contorts, but you see no reason to play into this
  868. A: Thank you, Princess
  869. >You stay on your knee for a long moment
  870. >You choke a moment... is she going to...
  871. >Celestia looks you over once before realizing
  872. C: Oh, right... A~hem! You are dismissed, Sir Anonymous
  873. >You stand and bow before making a break to your quarters
  874. >Her presence is right, but it feels as if the Princess of the Sun has lost substance
  875. >It must be the march of time upon her being
  876. >You arrive at your bedroom with the three fillies in tow
  877. A: Maid! See to it that these three are properly maintained while we bathe... there are to be no interruptions. Thank you and dismissed
  878. >The servant looks at you rather awkwardly
  879. >They must be new
  880. >You should always show mercy to new help
  881. >You draw your bath and relax your muscles
  882. >All is quiet and calm for a brief moment before you catch something moving
  883. >You strobe your eyes across without moving a muscle
  884. >The thing appears close to your tub and you strike
  885. >Success!
  886. >In your strong hand resides a pony's neck
  887. >It struggles for an instant as you let go
  888. SL: A-Anon! What... what was that about?
  889. A: We did not realize who our assailant was... accept our forgiveness. Are you not suppose to be with the chambermaid and thy friends?
  890. SL: Well, we were technically with them a second ago...
  891. >You roll your eyes
  892. A: What is it we can help you with while we are bathing?
  893. SL: Well, everyp0ny has been wanting to ask you all about your life... you know, as a human? We're trying to get our cutie marks and we're pretty sure "human assistants" is a real thing
  894. A: We are sure that will not be thy cutie mark
  895. SL: But, you can't be sure until you try everything! By the way, do humans have cutie marks?
  896. A: Did you not ask us of this earlier this morn?
  897. SL: We probably did... so, was that a "no" or...?
  898. A: No, humans do not acquire the cutie mark as does a pony
  899. SL: OK... well, how do you know what you're good at then?
  900. A: Simple, we try many -things- and decide what we like doing. Then we are to practice that -thing- until it becomes rote
  901. SL: Makes sense. One question... what's a rote?
  902. A: It means simply to follow a habitual pattern or procedure. To do something continuously without thought
  903. SL: Oh... I get it now! You know, your pretty smart
  904. A: Thank you... now, if you would excuse this one, we would like to enjoy our bath...
  905. >You close your eyes and rest you head on the ledge of the tub
  906. >It is silent again and you are about to smile
  907. >All tranquility is torn from you with the sound of a splash and the feeling of hooves on your legs
  908. >Your eyes snap to attention and you spy Scootaloo from across the tub
  909. A: What... are... you... doing!?
  910. SL: I, uh... I was dirty?
  911. >You sit up in the tub and stare angrily at this filly
  912. A: We offer our kindness to you and this is what action you take? What could be your justification for entering our bath?
  913. >Scootaloo rubs her head with a hoof and stares away
  914. SL: Well, I've heard some stories about... bipeds... you know? Like you and minotaurs and stuff? I was like, "Well it's probably just a lie" and you know? So I...
  915. A: Your ramblings are not becoming... get on with it
  916. SL: Is it true you -wang- is always showing?
  917. A: What kind of question is that from a filly?! Should you not be concerning yourself with learning to cook and clean as is every mare's rightful place?
  918. SL: I suppose... I never thought about it much... but, if I am going to be your assistant, I should know this, right?
  919. A: We need -not- an assistant! We need peace and tranquility!
  920. SL: Aww, come on! You need my help at least! How else would you wash your back?
  921. >Scootaloo smirks as if invincible
  922. >You turn around and expose you back to her
  923. >You then reach your arms over your head and flex them to your back
  924. SL: Oh... didn't know humans could do that... well, um...
  925. A: We are flexible, we are lean and powerful. We need not one's help to maintain us!
  926. >You see Scootaloo peering around the disappearing soap bubbles for something
  927. A: You are too young to concern yourself with matters of males! Get out of this bath or so help me, I shall...!
  928. >Scootaloo starts sobbing
  929. >No, you shall not be swayed!
  930. >But, you made this filly cry for reasons she could not fully comprehend
  931. >You have a duty and morals!
  932. >How could you make her hurt and deny her knowledge?
  933. >Why are you conflicted at all!?
  934. A: Enough! Do not weep! We cannot bear the sound... of a lady weeping
  935. >Scootaloo looks up at you, her eyes red with tears
  936. >You sigh a regretful sigh and stand up
  937. A: There... do you see? Does it please you to know?
  938. >Scootaloo stares at you long enough to paint your portrait
  939. >You wait no longer for her answer and hide yourself in the water
  940. SL: You weren't kidding about being lean and strong... do you... do you like running?
  941. A: Not entirely
  942. SL: C-can I see -it- again?
  943. >You move like a fish through the water to the curious foal
  944. A: Child... what has happened to you to take this much interest in males? Atop of that... why the interest in us?
  945. SL: I heard... Rainbow Dash... she's my friend... she was talking about it and I overhead a lot... so, I was thinking... it could help get my cutie mark?
  946. >You look with a mixture of horror and curiosity
  947. A: Why, in this great nation, would you have such a thought? What two ponies do in -that- fashion will never be what or who you are. 'Tis insanity to think another would find your cutie mark!
  948. SL: W-what if I wanted to try anyways?
  949. A: By all means, try! Rut with as many males as you can coerce! 'Tis not my concern though...
  950. SL: S-so, you wouldn't touch me?
  951. A: Do we give the impression of some... some... filly fiddler?! Are we but a toy for your own amusement?
  952. >Scootaloo hangs her head in sadness
  953. SL: Safety...
  954. A: Pardon?
  955. SL: I... I think you're nice... you know? And this is my first time ever in heat... You just looked... safe? I know, it doesn't make sense
  956. A: We know not of a remedy for this... other than the most obvious of remedies
  957. >Though the old world would proclaim this filly your new maid upon taking her maidenhead... you are uncertain of such actions in the new world
  958. >Besides, you have a dozen plus one maids to date... or you used to...
  959. A: We... can lend a hand... But no more! To take more would be a contemptible thing and we would be most displeased with greed. Dost thou understand?
  960. >Scootaloo looks up with renewed hope
  961. SL: Do you mean it?
  962. A: Yes, we are true to our word. You must be true to your herein
  963. >Scootaloo nods quickly with her mouth agape
  964. >You move slightly closer to her and your hand disappears beneath the water
  965. >You grope about until you see Scootaloo's ears stand upright and her wings part slightly
  966. SL: Ah... ooh~...
  967. A: Be quiet...
  968. >Her mouth closes as huffs of air push between her teeth and nostrils
  969. >You bring her body closer still until you feel her fragile form in your lap
  970. >You hands glide easily over her marehood and her wings flutter lightly
  971. >A strange notion crosses your mind about the pegasus caste
  972. >First Fluttershy and now this little one has wanted to bed you
  973. >Is it possible you are some type of fetish for their race?
  974. >You push this thought to the side for now and grip Scootaloo's little flank
  975. >It is rather bony and small
  976. >You do appreciate large assets, but this is not for you after all!
  977. A: From your trembling, you must be nearing your peak. If you need us to slow down or stop, please say so
  978. SL: F-f-fast-er-er...
  979. >Her hot breath mixes with the cooling water ever so nicely
  980. >You feel her hooves wrap about your arm and her hips move of their own volition
  981. >A bit of small talk may ease her to fruition
  982. A: You're wings are pretty...
  983. >Scootaloo looks up at you with the widest eyes you've seen and her mouth hangs open
  984. >The bath suddenly reignites, at least in your lap, as Scootaloo has her first induced orgasm
  985. SL: A-Anon... you... oh~...
  986. >She gasps very hard between words
  987. >You pat her head and lay it on your chest
  988. >Scootaloo slowly catches up on her lungs and begins
  989. SL: Anon, I... you... do you mean it?
  990. >You take a small wing in your hand and help it extend to its fullest
  991. >The small wings look extremely well kept and you smile slightly
  992. A: We are a man of our words, my little dear
  993. >Scootaloo holds you as far around as her small hooves allow
  994. >You stroke her mane a little longer
  995. A: We should retire from this embrace... you should reunite with your playmates
  996. SL: ... Can we stay like this... a little longer?
  997. A: We really must get...
  998. SL: Please, don't let go yet...
  999. >It cannot be helped, you think
  1000. >You hold tightly for what feels like eternity
  1001. A: Are you satisfied now?
  1002. >You feel her hooves loosen and she reluctantly pulls away
  1003. SL: I really needed this... it's like I'm completely better!
  1004. A: We do hope it lasts...
  1005. >You remember a time long since past when a certain young Princess would be locked away in her chambers during her "episodes"
  1006. >Ah, to be young and naive again
  1007. >You rise first from the tub and step out
  1008. >You notice the filly's eyes sizing you up like a choice bit of lettuce
  1009. >As you cover yourself with a bath towel, she audibly sighs
  1010. SL: Anon... do you think... we could...
  1011. A: Not now nor soon. We are actually rather concerned to have done this at all...
  1012. >Scootaloo looks to you with sincerity
  1013. SL: I'll preen three times a day from now on... you know, in case you do want to see me
  1014. >You smile at her misguided attempts to woo you
  1015. A: Your wings are fine as is. Do not overdo a good thing, Scootaloo
  1016. SL: You said my name
  1017. A: Yes, well, it is -your- name
  1018. SL: But, you say it really nicely... Anonymous, I...
  1019. A: No, no more words. No more feelings. Come dry off so we may meet your friends and we shall perform our royal duties
  1020. >Scootaloo hops out of the tub and you buff her out
  1021. >She attempts to rut your hand again, but you set her sights in the proper direction
  1022. >You truly think you are a toy for the pegasus clan and are rather glad to never had active dealings with them
  1023. >If they are this dangerous in times of peace, you cannot imagine them in times of war
  1024. >The day presses on as you all leave the castle with the package in hand and three tired fillies trailing behind
  1025. >You board the train heading for Ponyville
  1026. >Scootaloo sits close to you and you can smell her lustful body
  1027. >Across the car sits Applebloom and Sweetie Belle
  1028. SL: Psst, hey! Anon... they fell asleep together
  1029. A: Yes, very cute. We noticed how tired they were. What of yourself?
  1030. SL: I'm a little sleepy... a little... you know?
  1031. A: Thou be a fervent scamp...
  1032. SL: Do you... do you think maybe?
  1033. >She looks up at you with eyes as large as tea plates
  1034. >You groan a bit and decide to sate this beast's immense thirst
  1035. >You both take a quick step into a single compartment bathroom
  1036. >The smell of liquid shame fills the cramped room as Scootaloo sits in your lap
  1037. >She is humping your leg the moment you sit her down
  1038. A: There's not bathtub here. Do not spray us or you shall know fear
  1039. >Your threat seems to excite her further
  1040. >You look at her beautiful, delicate body and consider again doing this to a filly of her age
  1041. >Without much more thought, your skillful hands rub into the orange mare's burning sex
  1042. A: A shame that one's cycle hold such sway over them. Humans do not have such imprisonment
  1043. SL: A-Anon...
  1044. >Her eyes close as she rides you
  1045. >She grinds well against your hand until you are slick from palm to point
  1046. SL: Can you... put one inside?
  1047. >Why not?
  1048. >You slide your middle finger slowly into her lush interior and stir her gently
  1049. SL Oh... my... aah~
  1050. A: Aie... Aie! So vocal for one so small
  1051. >You see Scootaloo attempt to lift her little body up and ride your digit slowly
  1052. SL: It's so good inside... your hand's so hot...
  1053. >She steadies herself using your legs and chest as she picks up her pace
  1054. >You decide to have a spot of fun and add you ring finger
  1055. >As she comes down again, you fill her needy body with more thickness
  1056. SL: Ooh~ ooh~... just a little... deeper... uh!
  1057. >Her body draws your fingers in up to the knuckle and you watch with a perverse awe
  1058. >You here a squelching sound and feel your fingers drip with the signs of a job well done
  1059. >Scootaloo shutters and rocks
  1060. >You hold her in place as she thrashes in her satisfaction
  1061. SL: So good... Oh... I love this... I want to have sex everyday...
  1062. A: We are glad to see you enjoy this. 'Tis not quite sex, however, you will learn that soon enough if you keep this a constant
  1063. >You chuckle and uncork yourself from her loins
  1064. >A trickling film oozes from her well-used body
  1065. >You have come so far... why not go the extra step?
  1066. >You lift your fingers to your mouth and swab her scent and taste on your tongue
  1067. SL: Anon... please... stop...
  1068. >The little mare quivers in your arms as you finish cleaning yourself
  1069. >The taste is not unlike a cloud, but wholly one of citrus
  1070. A: This taste... 'tis pleasing enough. Are you satisfied?
  1071. >You stroke her wing idly as you await an answer
  1072. >She yawns and her eyes close again
  1073. SL: Sleepy... promise me you'll *yawn*, you'll be here when I get up?
  1074. A: Ah, such a promise we could make. We will see you sooner than later
  1075. >You smirk as the sun sets for the day
  1076. >You carry the young filly to your seat and lay her down to rest
  1077. >As the train rolls onward, you step out of a loading door for fresh air
  1078. >The day is long, but the night is longer still
  1079. >The moon rises above you and the light seems to almost caress your face
  1080. >Her majesty is beautiful as always
  1081. >You look up at the moon with your arms spread wide to embrace
  1082. A: Our love for thou is matched only by our love of your moon, Empress
  1083. >You imagine she is standing beside you
  1084. >Her beautiful scent filling your nostrils, her wondrous mane shimmering like that of the night sky on an open sea
  1085. >And her inviting muzzle bearing down upon your own waiting lips
  1086. A: Luna, dearest Princess of the Night... why have you forsaken thy vassal? Why dost the night hold us closer still? We are weatherworn from a thousand storms, yet thine eye's call upon our faith as faith alone is our harbour...
  1087. >Two ships passing in the night... only darkness without light...
  1088. >You lurch back to your cabin to rest a while
  1089. >The trip is not more than a few hours
  1090. >You may as well get some rest
  1091. >Goodnight, dearest Luna

  1095. >Morn of Our Begotten Sin in Equestria
  1096. >Be Anonymous the Fustilarian
  1097. >You awake in an empty bed to the smell of cereal being prepared
  1098. >A fine morning for cereal, you believe, after a difficult and draining night
  1099. >Why you struck your shameless being upon the yellow mare thrice in Her moonlight, you cannot say
  1100. >Why Fluttershy allowed you passage each time, you can not reason
  1101. >You do not love her for it is simply how the world is built
  1102. >Great man build great houses...
  1103. >... Why do great houses hold none warmer than those under the stone?
  1104. >Agh, enough of these intrusive questions!
  1105. >You dress in part layer this morn and head down stairs
  1106. >The yellow kitchen maiden buzzes happily to herself as she cooks over a very modern stove
  1107. F: Oh, Anon! So good to see you this morning! I decided to make both pancakes and oatmeal
  1108. >You see a large spread of food that could host the company of several more ponies
  1109. A: Thank you, m'lady
  1110. F: No, no, thank you for being so generous to me
  1111. >You shrug with a bit of puzzlement and smile
  1112. A: Is it not you who opened your home to us?
  1113. F: Yes, but... you paid us so well and... well
  1114. >Fluttershy blushes nervously
  1115. F: Well, last night was... oh, just magical, Anon
  1116. A: 'Twas nothing of the sort. We shared but a fleeting instant of infatuation and slake our most carnal needs
  1117. F: -You- say it like that... but, I am sure your body was telling me a different story
  1118. >You nod without argument
  1119. A: 'Tis true we may have been a bit... -pent- up, if you will... you were an excellent host from beginning to end
  1120. F: I really liked when you kissed me... you know where... I never even heard of two ponies doing -that- before. J-just thinking about it is kind of exciting...
  1121. >Fluttershy holds her own face as it flushes red
  1122. >You pay little attention to the swooning mare as you furiously eat the food set before you
  1123. >If nothing else, you spent a tremendous amount of energy on you... excursions of the quilt
  1124. >It is not too long after that you hear a knock at the door
  1125. >You assure Fluttershy that you will answer it as she cleans a dish
  1126. TS: Hello, Fluttershy! I brought you the book on large, terrestrial primates you were asking abo-...
  1127. >It is Twilight Sparkle and she seems displeased to find you at Fluttershy's door
  1128. TS: Anon! What are you doing in Fluttershy's house?
  1129. A: We were enjoying a hot meal in good company. Pray tell, how can we assist you this fine day?
  1130. >Twilight sniffs at the air pervading you for a while and looks you over with accusing eyes
  1131. TS: You two... didn't get into any funny business, did you?
  1132. A: We have no clue in the slightest what you may be implying
  1133. >Implying you haven't the foggiest
  1134. TS: Well... where is Fluttershy anyway?
  1135. >You fetch Fluttershy and allow her to speak her peace with the angry unicorn at the door
  1136. F: Oh, hello, Twilight. What can I do for you this morning?
  1137. TS: I brought you the book you wanted on primates... what's the sudden interest in large primates, hmm?
  1138. >Fluttershy smiles anxiously between you and Twilight
  1139. F: I had a sudden concern about dealing with some wild monkeys...
  1140. >Twilight's eyes narrow as Fluttershy ducks down slightly
  1141. F: ... Who were eating the extra fruit...
  1142. >Twilight applies more pressure
  1143. F: ... I left for the fruit bats...
  1144. >Fluttershy is nearly shaking in fear now
  1145. >Twilight looks at her and then to you
  1146. TS: I hope your -monkey- problem won't interfere with Anon's work here in Ponyville
  1147. F: Oh, heavens, no! Anon is free to do whatever he needs to
  1148. TS: Good, because it would be a shame to see -him- being -interrupted- by -somep0ny- when he's working
  1149. A: M'lady, Sparkle... we think you claim more authority than one should
  1150. TS: I am just watching out for your well being. I know somep0nies in Ponyville act different behind closed doors
  1151. >Twilight Sparkle stares intently at Fluttershy
  1152. A: 'Tis true, yet Fluttershy has shown me nothing but kindness and care. We are a burden upon her peaceful home if any matter is to be weighed
  1153. >Twilight thinks over your words for a moment and nods in agreement
  1154. TS: If you say so... just don't get into any trouble the Princess would not
  1155. A: Hah! Of course not! Thank you for such ample advice
  1156. >You chuckle lightly and wave Twilight your farewells
  1157. >When the unicorn disappears past the cobblestone path, you look to Fluttershy
  1158. A: 'Twas an interesting eve, in so many words. We thank you, Fluttershy, for the stay and meal and all the kindness you bestowed
  1159. F: A-and the, um... you know... in my bed?
  1160. A: Enjoyable in body and fulfilling of the base urges we all share...
  1161. F: So, that's a good thing, right?
  1162. >You pet Fluttershy's head and set out into the rising sun
  1163. >The yellow mare watches you walk off without a sound
  1164. >You stumble through town on your way to the train station
  1165. >Being away from Canterlot for a single night has you wistful
  1166. >What if your Princess had come for you in the night after all?
  1167. >Would you have given in as easily?
  1168. >The sound of an argument nearby breaks your trance and you investigate
  1169. >Three fillies of varying castes are scuffling with cock
  1170. A: Subjects! Why dost this fowl earn your scorn?
  1171. >The three cease their brawl and the cock flies away
  1172. SL: What did he say?
  1173. AB: Ah don't know... Ah think he's speakin' in minotaur
  1174. SB: He doesn't -look- like a minotaur
  1175. AB: Maybe he's a -baby- minotaur?
  1176. SL: That would explain why he doesn't have horns yet
  1177. >These foals are trying your patients
  1178. A: We are no minotaur, but a human!
  1179. SL: Alright, jeez, no need to shout...
  1180. >Shouting?
  1181. A: We are not shouting! We are merely conveying out message in the royal Canterlot way!
  1182. >You notice quite a few ponies around the square have also stopped to look upon you
  1183. >You bring your voice to a royal whisper
  1184. A: We do apologize... we heard your cries of anger and merely came to aid you
  1185. SB: Aww, that's so nice of you, mister... human?
  1186. A: You can call me, "Anonymous"
  1187. SL: That's a silly name...
  1188. SB: Wouldn't that mean that we still don't know your name? "Anonymous" means not being identified by a name
  1189. >The pegasus and earth caste ponies look to the unicorn
  1190. SL: What are you? A dictionary?
  1191. AB: Ah think his name's fine
  1192. >The unicorn puffs her face and deflates quickly
  1193. SL: Hey! I got an idea, girls!
  1194. >The three huddle closely and you can scarcely hear what they are saying
  1195. >Every now and again, one will lift their head up to look at you before ducking back down
  1196. AB: So, Anonymous, how's 'bout we tag along with'ya today an' learn all 'bout Canterlot?
  1197. >You see a gleam in her small eyes that is off-putting
  1198. A: We are... unsure...
  1199. SB: Aww, come on! We'll be good, we promise!
  1200. >The unicorn pouts and mists her eyes
  1201. >That face...
  1202. A: Fine...
  1203. >The three bounce around you and cheer
  1204. SL+AB+SB: Cutie Mark Crusaders Human Assisters!
  1205. >You feel that your infinite generosity and royal resolve is about to be sorely tested this day
  1206. >The train ride to Canterlot is precisely uneventful
  1207. >To see train routes not beset by fencing or magical barriers is truly incredible
  1208. >You can only speculate when the last dragon attacked your faire city
  1209. >Peace, while welcomed, was strange
  1210. >The four of you arrive at the station and exit to the platform
  1211. SB: So, where do you live, Anonymous?
  1212. SL: Yeah! What's a human house look like?
  1213. >You point off into the distance
  1214. AB: Oh, ya' live behind the castle?
  1215. >You shake your head from side to side
  1216. A: We live -in- the castle
  1217. >The three fillies look at you in wonderment
  1218. SB: Does Princess Celestia know?
  1219. A: Yes, our empress was the very soul to instate us therein
  1220. AB: Did anyp0ny ever tell ya' yew talk funny?
  1221. >You sigh at how inattentive these fillies seem to be
  1222. >You walk along through the streets of Canterlot for the first time in daylight
  1223. >Many unicorns make up the population, as was once right, but today you see a minority of pegasi and earth caste as well
  1224. >What a strange and tolerant world
  1225. SB: Oh, Anon! Look! They have a dress store!
  1226. AB: Startin'a sound like Rarity there
  1227. SB: And you're starting to sound like Applejack
  1228. >The two lock eyes and butt heads for a moment before laughing
  1229. >You continue walking by to a symphony of gasps as the ponies of this new world see something like you for the first time
  1230. >You remember the trouble of befriending ponies of your time, though being able to kill dragons did assist in being accepted
  1231. >You moan to yourself and approach the gates of the palace
  1232. SL: So, what's it like being so tall?
  1233. A: 'Tis the same as being one so small. We just see you when we bow as you see us when you pray...
  1234. >You nearly chuckle at that phrase... Celestia always had a way with rhymes
  1235. >You cross through the guards with your fillies in tow and enter the castle doors
  1236. >A guard greets you at the door and announces your arrival
  1237. Guard: Sir Anonymous... the Princess has been expecting your return and wish for you to meet her post-haste!
  1238. >You nod and walk along to the throne room
  1239. >The guard eyes your band of foals, but seems to withhold his comment
  1240. SB: Wow, this place is -beautiful-!
  1241. SL: Look how high the ceilings are!
  1242. AB: Ah bet we could try base jumpin' here!
  1243. >You aim a stern look in the earth caste's direction
  1244. A: If you would mind yourselves, we are to meet the Princess of the Sun. Her majesty, Celestia
  1245. >The name leaves a sour taste on your tongue
  1246. >The three fillies do seem to understand this and walk neatly behind you
  1247. >As you enter the throne room, a guard sounds a horn
  1248. G: Now arriving, Sir Anonymous... and his kind?
  1249. >The guard whispers to the other guard about the strange fillies
  1250. >They both shrug and try to look stern and ready
  1251. C: Anonymous! We had sent a messenger to your chambers to find you were gone. We discovered you in Ponyville at sunrise. I hope the trip was nice and relations are going well?
  1252. >You kneel on one knee with your head hung downward, as is tradition
  1253. A: Empress...
  1254. C: Please, call me, "Celestia"
  1255. A: ... Princess Celestia... we were taking in the sights and sounds of this new era. Much has changed and we fear we are... antiquated
  1256. >Celestia strides easily from her throne to you
  1257. C: Anonymous, do not feel this way. Time has changed much however, you simply need to learn about this new age. I am sure you have noticed the peace you worked so hard to achieve
  1258. >You smirk
  1259. A: We do... we did not see one filthy wyrm or vile drake in the sky
  1260. C: Do be careful with that kind of language... the peace is held together with tenuous bonds
  1261. A: As you wish, m'lady, we shall...
  1262. >A cacophony of calls come from your miniature companions
  1263. AB: Woah, the Princess sher is pretty!
  1264. SB: And so elegant!
  1265. SL: And her wings are so cool!
  1266. C: I see you've brought guests today? Who are these little fillies your chauffeuring?
  1267. AB: Mah name's, "Applebloom", Princess!
  1268. SL: I'm Scootaloo!
  1269. SB: And I'm Sweetie Belle! Pleasure to meet you!
  1270. >They all bow before the Princess
  1271. >You suppose they had learned -some- etiquette after all
  1272. C: It is likewise charming to meet you three. I hope Anon here has been a generous host?
  1273. >Celestia winks at you and smiles
  1274. >You could swear upon your eyes that she was not the mare you remember from that horrible night
  1275. >This doppelganger before you must be another for you know the wrath of the unyielding sun
  1276. A: Princess Celestia... we have arrived at your summons and wish to know more of our task ahead?
  1277. C: Task? Oh, yes, thank you for reminding me. I have summoned you here to bring a prized tome to a pupil of mine. Her name is Twilight Sparkle. I trust you two have already met?
  1278. A: Wise as always, our Princess. We will happily depart after food and bath, if it pleases m'lady?
  1279. C: Of course! I was going to tell you to get a bath when you could
  1280. >Celestia chuckles and moves in close to whisper
  1281. C: You smell a bit like a stray mare today, if you catch my drift
  1282. >Your face contorts, but you see no reason to play into this
  1283. A: Thank you, Princess
  1284. >You stay on your knee for a long moment
  1285. >You choke a moment... is she going to...
  1286. >Celestia looks you over once before realizing
  1287. C: Oh, right... A~hem! You are dismissed, Sir Anonymous
  1288. >You stand and bow before making a break to your quarters
  1289. >Her presence is right, but it feels as if the Princess of the Sun has lost substance
  1290. >It must be the march of time upon her being
  1291. >You arrive at your bedroom with the three fillies in tow
  1292. A: Maid! See to it that these three are properly maintained while we bathe... there are to be no interruptions. Thank you and dismissed
  1293. >The servant looks at you rather awkwardly
  1294. >They must be new
  1295. >You should always show mercy to new help
  1296. >You draw your bath and relax your muscles
  1297. >All is quiet and calm for a brief moment before you catch something moving
  1298. >You strobe your eyes across without moving a muscle
  1299. >The thing appears close to your tub and you strike
  1300. >Success!
  1301. >In your strong hand resides a pony's neck
  1302. >It struggles for an instant as you let go
  1303. SL: A-Anon! What... what was that about?
  1304. A: We did not realize who our assailant was... accept our forgiveness. Are you not suppose to be with the chambermaid and thy friends?
  1305. SL: Well, we were technically with them a second ago...
  1306. >You roll your eyes
  1307. A: What is it we can help you with while we are bathing?
  1308. SL: Well, everyp0ny has been wanting to ask you all about your life... you know, as a human? We're trying to get our cutie marks and we're pretty sure "human assistants" is a real thing
  1309. A: We are sure that will not be thy cutie mark
  1310. SL: But, you can't be sure until you try everything! By the way, do humans have cutie marks?
  1311. A: Did you not ask us of this earlier this morn?
  1312. SL: We probably did... so, was that a "no" or...?
  1313. A: No, humans do not acquire the cutie mark as does a pony
  1314. SL: OK... well, how do you know what you're good at then?
  1315. A: Simple, we try many -things- and decide what we like doing. Then we are to practice that -thing- until it becomes rote
  1316. SL: Makes sense. One question... what's a rote?
  1317. A: It means simply to follow a habitual pattern or procedure. To do something continuously without thought
  1318. SL: Oh... I get it now! You know, your pretty smart
  1319. A: Thank you... now, if you would excuse this one, we would like to enjoy our bath...
  1320. >You close your eyes and rest you head on the ledge of the tub
  1321. >It is silent again and you are about to smile
  1322. >All tranquility is torn from you with the sound of a splash and the feeling of hooves on your legs
  1323. >Your eyes snap to attention and you spy Scootaloo from across the tub
  1324. A: What... are... you... doing!?
  1325. SL: I, uh... I was dirty?
  1326. >You sit up in the tub and stare angrily at this filly
  1327. A: We offer our kindness to you and this is what action you take? What could be your justification for entering our bath?
  1328. >Scootaloo rubs her head with a hoof and stares away
  1329. SL: Well, I've heard some stories about... bipeds... you know? Like you and minotaurs and stuff? I was like, "Well it's probably just a lie" and you know? So I...
  1330. A: Your ramblings are not becoming... get on with it
  1331. SL: Is it true you -wang- is always showing?
  1332. A: What kind of question is that from a filly?! Should you not be concerning yourself with learning to cook and clean as is every mare's rightful place?
  1333. SL: I suppose... I never thought about it much... but, if I am going to be your assistant, I should know this, right?
  1334. A: We need -not- an assistant! We need peace and tranquility!
  1335. SL: Aww, come on! You need my help at least! How else would you wash your back?
  1336. >Scootaloo smirks as if invincible
  1337. >You turn around and expose you back to her
  1338. >You then reach your arms over your head and flex them to your back
  1339. SL: Oh... didn't know humans could do that... well, um...
  1340. A: We are flexible, we are lean and powerful. We need not one's help to maintain us!
  1341. >You see Scootaloo peering around the disappearing soap bubbles for something
  1342. A: You are too young to concern yourself with matters of males! Get out of this bath or so help me, I shall...!
  1343. >Scootaloo starts sobbing
  1344. >No, you shall not be swayed!
  1345. >But, you made this filly cry for reasons she could not fully comprehend
  1346. >You have a duty and morals!
  1347. >How could you make her hurt and deny her knowledge?
  1348. >Why are you conflicted at all!?
  1349. A: Enough! Do not weep! We cannot bear the sound... of a lady weeping
  1350. >Scootaloo looks up at you, her eyes red with tears
  1351. >You sigh a regretful sigh and stand up
  1352. A: There... do you see? Does it please you to know?
  1353. >Scootaloo stares at you long enough to paint your portrait
  1354. >You wait no longer for her answer and hide yourself in the water
  1355. SL: You weren't kidding about being lean and strong... do you... do you like running?
  1356. A: Not entirely
  1357. SL: C-can I see -it- again?
  1358. >You move like a fish through the water to the curious foal
  1359. A: Child... what has happened to you to take this much interest in males? Atop of that... why the interest in us?
  1360. SL: I heard... Rainbow Dash... she's my friend... she was talking about it and I overhead a lot... so, I was thinking... it could help get my cutie mark?
  1361. >You look with a mixture of horror and curiosity
  1362. A: Why, in this great nation, would you have such a thought? What two ponies do in -that- fashion will never be what or who you are. 'Tis insanity to think another would find your cutie mark!
  1363. SL: W-what if I wanted to try anyways?
  1364. A: By all means, try! Rut with as many males as you can coerce! 'Tis not my concern though...
  1365. SL: S-so, you wouldn't touch me?
  1366. A: Do we give the impression of some... some... filly fiddler?! Are we but a toy for your own amusement?
  1367. >Scootaloo hangs her head in sadness
  1368. SL: Safety...
  1369. A: Pardon?
  1370. SL: I... I think you're nice... you know? And this is my first time ever in heat... You just looked... safe? I know, it doesn't make sense
  1371. A: We know not of a remedy for this... other than the most obvious of remedies
  1372. >Though the old world would proclaim this filly your new maid upon taking her maidenhead... you are uncertain of such actions in the new world
  1373. >Besides, you have a dozen plus one maids to date... or you used to...
  1374. A: We... can lend a hand... But no more! To take more would be a contemptible thing and we would be most displeased with greed. Dost thou understand?
  1375. >Scootaloo looks up with renewed hope
  1376. SL: Do you mean it?
  1377. A: Yes, we are true to our word. You must be true to your herein
  1378. >Scootaloo nods quickly with her mouth agape
  1379. >You move slightly closer to her and your hand disappears beneath the water
  1380. >You grope about until you see Scootaloo's ears stand upright and her wings part slightly
  1381. SL: Ah... ooh~...
  1382. A: Be quiet...
  1383. >Her mouth closes as huffs of air push between her teeth and nostrils
  1384. >You bring her body closer still until you feel her fragile form in your lap
  1385. >You hands glide easily over her marehood and her wings flutter lightly
  1386. >A strange notion crosses your mind about the pegasus caste
  1387. >First Fluttershy and now this little one has wanted to bed you
  1388. >Is it possible you are some type of fetish for their race?
  1389. >You push this thought to the side for now and grip Scootaloo's little flank
  1390. >It is rather bony and small
  1391. >You do appreciate large assets, but this is not for you after all!
  1392. A: From your trembling, you must be nearing your peak. If you need us to slow down or stop, please say so
  1393. SL: F-f-fast-er-er...
  1394. >Her hot breath mixes with the cooling water ever so nicely
  1395. >You feel her hooves wrap about your arm and her hips move of their own volition
  1396. >A bit of small talk may ease her to fruition
  1397. A: You're wings are pretty...
  1398. >Scootaloo looks up at you with the widest eyes you've seen and her mouth hangs open
  1399. >The bath suddenly reignites, at least in your lap, as Scootaloo has her first induced orgasm
  1400. SL: A-Anon... you... oh~...
  1401. >She gasps very hard between words
  1402. >You pat her head and lay it on your chest
  1403. >Scootaloo slowly catches up on her lungs and begins
  1404. SL: Anon, I... you... do you mean it?
  1405. >You take a small wing in your hand and help it extend to its fullest
  1406. >The small wings look extremely well kept and you smile slightly
  1407. A: We are a man of our words, my little dear
  1408. >Scootaloo holds you as far around as her small hooves allow
  1409. >You stroke her mane a little longer
  1410. A: We should retire from this embrace... you should reunite with your playmates
  1411. SL: ... Can we stay like this... a little longer?
  1412. A: We really must get...
  1413. SL: Please, don't let go yet...
  1414. >It cannot be helped, you think
  1415. >You hold tightly for what feels like eternity
  1416. A: Are you satisfied now?

  1418. SL: I really needed this... it's like I'm completely better!
  1419. A: We do hope it lasts...
  1420. >You remember a time long since past when a certain young Princess would be locked away in her chambers during her "episodes"

  1424. >As you cover yourself with a bath towel, she audibly sighs
  1425. SL: Anon... do you think... we could...
  1426. A: Not now nor soon. We are actually rather concerned to have done this at all...
  1427. >Scootaloo looks to you with sincerity
  1428. SL: I'll preen three times a day from now on... you know, in case you do want to see me
  1429. >You smile at her misguided attempts to woo you
  1430. A: Your wings are fine as is. Do not overdo a good thing, Scootaloo
  1431. SL: You said my name
  1432. A: Yes, well, it is -your- name
  1433. SL: But, you say it really nicely... Anonymous, I...
  1434. A: No, no more words. No more feelings. Come dry off so we may meet your friends and we shall perform our royal duties
  1435. >Scootaloo hops out of the tub and you buff her out
  1436. >She attempts to rut your hand again, but you set her sights in the proper direction

  1442. >Across the car sits Applebloom and Sweetie Belle
  1443. SL: Psst, hey! Anon... they fell asleep together
  1444. A: Yes, very cute. We noticed how tired they were. What of yourself?
  1445. SL: I'm a little sleepy... a little... you know?
  1446. A: Thou be a fervent scamp...
  1447. SL: Do you... do you think maybe?
  1448. >She looks up at you with eyes as large as tea plates

  1450. >You both take a quick step into a single compartment bathroom
  1451. >The smell of liquid shame fills the cramped room as Scootaloo sits in your lap

  1456. >Without much more thought, your skillful hands rub into the orange mare's burning sex
  1457. A: A shame that one's cycle hold such sway over them. Humans do not have such imprisonment

  1471. SL: Ooh~ ooh~... just a little... deeper... uh!
  1472. >Her body draws your fingers in up to the knuckle and you watch with a perverse awe
  1473. >You here a squelching sound and feel your fingers drip with the signs of a job well done
  1474. >Scootaloo shutters and rocks
  1475. >You hold her in place as she thrashes in her satisfaction
  1476. SL: So good... Oh... I love this... I want to have sex everyday...
  1477. A: We are glad to see you enjoy this. 'Tis not quite sex, however, you will learn that soon enough if you keep this a constant
  1478. >You chuckle and uncork yourself from her loins
  1479. >A trickling film oozes from her well-used body
  1480. >You have come so far... why not go the extra step?
  1481. >You lift your fingers to your mouth and swab her scent and taste on your tongue
  1482. SL: Anon... please... stop...

  1495. >Her majesty is beautiful as always
  1496. >You look up at the moon with your arms spread wide to embrace
  1497. A: Our love for thou is matched only by our love of your moon, Empress
  1498. >You imagine she is standing beside you
  1499. >Her beautiful scent filling your nostrils, her wondrous mane shimmering like that of the night sky on an open sea
  1500. >And her inviting muzzle bearing down upon your own waiting lips
  1501. A: Luna, dearest Princess of the Night... why have you forsaken thy vassal? Why dost the night hold us closer still? We are weatherworn from a thousand storms, yet thine eye's call upon our faith as faith alone is our harbour...
  1502. >Two ships passing in the night... only darkness without light...
  1503. >You lurch back to your cabin to rest a while

  1555. TS: Spike, girls... go inside... I need to deal with Anon alone
  1556. >Everyone does as commanded and you are left facing down a very angry unicorn
  1557. A: Twilight Sparkle, forgive us. We know not what error we have caused, but only what duty would have of us!
  1558. TS: You... you... bonehead! Didn't you learn anything since our talk? This -isn't- your time or the Dragon Wars or anything like that!
  1559. A: M'lady, we are terribly...
  1560. TS: No! You crossed the line attacking Spike! He's a baby dragon, what could he even do?
  1561. A: Burn down the whole of Ponyville and slaughter most of the inhabitants

  1593. >Pinkie looks you over thoroughly
  1594. PP: Hmm, you look a little... lost? You feeling alright?
  1595. A: Of course we are feeling well! M'lady, you need not burden yourself with...
  1596. >You are suddenly dragged into a nearby shop
  1597. PP: I bet a cupcake will fix whatever's on your mind. Those things are -good-!
  1598. >You are forcibly sat and a tray of delicious confectionaries are spread before you
  1599. A: We do appreciate your kindness, Pinkie Pie, but we simply do not wish to intrude
  1600. PP: Pfft, it's fine! I brought you in here anyways! Also, everyone's away and no customers have been around. So~ boring!
  1601. >You raise a scrumptious looking treat and marvel at its elegance
  1602. A: The craftsmanship you place into these cakes is incredible, chef Pinkie Pie
  1603. >You take a large bite and marvel further at the sweet, airy flavors
  1604. PP: I'm glad you like 'em! I bake almost everything in here by hoof! No frozen dough here! Oh~, unless you want the ice-box pie or a lemon meringue tart! Those are frozen dough! But, I make them first -than- freeze them!
  1605. >This chef is truly excited
  1606. >It does brighten your mood a bit
  1607. A: Tell us, chef, to what do you call this creation we are partaking in?
  1608. PP: That is a new line of super secret holiday cupcakes. I call it the, "WHOA". It stands for Whipped Honey, Oats and Apples! Pretty great, right?
  1609. >She smiles widely and leans into you a bit
  1610. A: Very excellent. May we have the honour of bringing these back with us?
  1611. PP: Sure! I'll make you a whole box so you have plenty to share! Who are you taking them back to anyways?
  1612. A: Princess Luna
  1613. >Pinkie stops for a long moment, quite strange for someone of her enthusiasm
  1614. PP: You think Night Mare Moon would like these treats?!
  1615. >You cock your head to one side and look at her oddly
  1616. A: Yes, Princess Luna adores sweets. These are a fine lot to present her with
  1617. PP: How do you know so much about Night Mare Moon? She was gone for like a bazillion years!
  1618. A: We are her vassal
  1619. >Pinkie scratches her head for a moment
  1620. PP: What's a, "vassal?"
  1621. A: A type of servant to which we honour our Princess' home and name. Though we are elevated in the rank above a typical vassal and owe no true debt of monetary means this day
  1622. PP: So, like... a butler?
  1623. >You shrug and assume
  1624. A: We believe so?
  1625. PP: Good for you, Anon! Everyp0ny should have a job that makes them as happy as you are!
  1626. >You nod, think and smile at her words

  1633. A: Wondrous work. What is the cost for such fine treats?
  1634. PP: Nothing today! This one's on me! Oh, I hope the Princess likes them!
  1635. A: We know she shall love them and eat them with great haste!
  1636. >She giggles
  1637. PP: You talk silly. It's really kind'a cute~!
  1638. >You smile and shake your head
  1639. >Such an interesting young mare, well ahead of her time
  1640. >Your trip through the train station is autonomous at this point and the ride seems to go quickly
  1641. >By the sun's location, you estimate another five hours before Luna will awake
  1642. >You should offer tribute upon Celestia
  1643. >'Tis only proper of a gentleman and a scholar
  1644. >You make your way to her chambers and find her reading over scrolls
  1645. >Not much has changed in one thousand years after all
  1646. A: Our empress, Celestia! We have arrived and bring treats from the boroughs of Ponyville!
  1647. >Celestia beckons you over to her bed
  1648. >You take her form in as you approach
  1649. >Her mane is filled with age and her mouth holds noticeable lines
  1650. C: Anonymous! I am very glad to see you. We have not spoken since your errand. I presume it went well?
  1651. A: As we have held your commands, so we shall always follow
  1652. >Celestia smiles
  1653. C: I have not heard -that- signifier in many years. You bring back an interesting nostalgia
  1654. >You look slightly crossed at that line as you brandish a muffin
  1655. A: For thee, our ladyship! A cupped cake from chef Pinkie Pie. A culinary delight known only as the, "WHAO"
  1656. C: Ah, "chef" Pinkie Pie?
  1657. >Celestia chuckles lightly to herself before taking the cupcake
  1658. >Her first bite and you can see she is greatly pleased
  1659. C: Oh, my! Pinkie really put her all into this! Delicious
  1660. >You nod and bow
  1661. A: We are pleased our majesty enjoyed her treat
  1662. C: Oh yes, always a delight to have Pinkie's cooking
  1663. >Celestia smacks her lips and delicately wipes her muzzle
  1664. C: Please, Anon... come hither and have a seat beside me. We have much reminiscing to do
  1665. >Cautiously, you approach your empress
  1666. >Though she wears a calm demeanor, you know she is capable of great destruction and even greater violence
  1667. >While Luna's was the word, Celestia's was always the sword
  1668. >You finally take a seat on the edge of her bed and lean closely to the door
  1669. >Just in case...
  1670. C: Anonymous... Sir Anonymous... it has been a long time and I am sure it is strange to you. My sister too is ill adapted. I feel like I must help you, but I am not entirely sure how. Please, tell me what you have gathered since visiting town
  1671. A: Ah, yes, field report...
  1672. >You clear your throat
  1673. A: We have uncovered the unicorn, Twilight Sparkle, current occupation is unknown. Current relationship is to Princess Celestia. She harbours a dragon named, "Spike" in her dwelling. 'Tis a baby drake at this time. Did -not- terminate under orders by Twilight Sparkle
  1674. >Celestia bites her lower lip and looks around nervously
  1675. C: I just remember you had the power of executioner still... we're going to have to change some of your royal duties
  1676. >You look at your princess in disbelief
  1677. >You understand she is doing only what is best for this world
  1678. C: Do go on, however!
  1679. A: We have encountered mixed races living and working together. 'Tis not considered immoral, we have concluded, as it once may have been. We have also noted that unicorns are not given their proper reverence by lower castes and that the Earth caste is allowed access to Canterlot
  1680. >Celestia nods and bites her lip again
  1681. C: The caste system went out about eight-hundred years ago. We'll work on teaching you that. Go on...
  1682. A: We have encounter pegasi living on the ground and working outside of their caste... if we understand what you have said, they may take any job they are assigned these days?
  1683. >Celestia shakes her head
  1684. C: All ponies are free to choose their home, job and even mate these days
  1685. >You shake your head and sigh
  1686. A: We always assumed the world would end before interracial breeding was instated
  1687. >Celestia chuckles somewhere between cruelly laughing and nervously concerned
  1688. C: You make me realize just how much the world has changed. Your charming racism will be another point to take care of. Tell me... you haven't spit on any Earth caste while in Ponyville, have you?
  1689. A: Of course not, my empress! We would not waste saliva on such lowly workers!
  1690. C: Eh... good enough reason. It seems to me that you remember the olden days well still. Oddly enough, my sister is nearly a blank slate. I have a mission for you two and I will have you deliver it to Luna at sunset
  1691. A: We are prepared, Princess
  1692. C: Princess Luna and Sir Anonymous are to remain by each other's side and learn to function in this new era. You shall be tutored by my pupil, Twilight Sparkle, about friendship... and new ethics and morals if need be
  1693. >You grimace at the name of the purple unicorn, but you do what you must for princess and nation!
  1694. A: We shall carryout your will, our majesty!
  1695. C: Excellent, Anon... you are dismissed
  1696. A: Yes, m'lady
  1697. >You bow and leave with your mission scroll and box of cupcakes in hand
  1698. >You head towards Luna's chambers and slowly creep inside
  1699. >There she is, laying so elegantly on her bed
  1700. >Her body is exposed to the open air as her quilt lays rolled upon the floor
  1701. >You slowly approach the Princess
  1702. >Her face is a work of fine art, powerful, beautiful
  1703. >So full of life and happiness... nothing at all like the Princess of the Sun
  1704. >You whisper as you gather her blanket up
  1705. A: Our dearest Luna... oh, how we have longed to see you once more. We have dreamed for many a night of being in your bed chamber and in your quilts. To have dreamed of being your quilts upon which you lay is passion from the soul
  1706. >Luna mumbles in her sleep
  1707. L: Anon-y-mous...
  1708. >You kneel at her bed side and listen intently
  1709. >Is it true? Does your empress dream of you?
  1710. L: You are...
  1711. >Yes? Yes?!
  1712. L: Too funny...
  1713. >You hang your head in dismay and look upon her face
  1714. >You are taken back to that night again as you see her lips glisten
  1715. A: We used our tongues for so many battles... to think of our excitement when our tongues dueled for territory of the bedchambers. Luna, our love...
  1716. >Your heart beats quickly as you stare upon her heavenly face
  1717. >What if you could steal a kiss in her sleep?
  1718. >'Tis an act of selfishness, true...
  1719. >You lean in and feel Luna's hot breath on your lips
  1720. >Closer you creep, as a creep you now have become
  1721. >As your lips meet her own, your eyes close and you draw in her taste
  1722. >The most perfect lips in all of the nation, without doubt
  1723. >Your kiss ends as you feel a sudden hard object jab into your gut
  1724. >Opening your eyes, you see a beautiful pair of eyes staring back at you with resentment
  1725. A: My... Princess... we wish you... a good evening...
  1726. >You clutch your side and move away
  1727. L: What is the meaning of this intrusion, jester! How dare you touch thy royal lips!
  1728. A: We can explain...
  1729. L: We are in no mood to listen!
  1730. >Thunder lights up the room and Luna's face twists into an angry scowl
  1731. A: M'lady, we meant no trespass unto you. We were just overcome
  1732. >She scoffs and turns her beautiful face away
  1733. L: We should have you stung up and left in the dungeon!
  1734. A: 'Twas not our finest moment, we concur... we do come bearing gifts, if our Princess would be wholly accepting?
  1735. >She stands before you with irritation on her face
  1736. >Slowly, her face returns to a gentler mare you recognize
  1737. L: We will accept your gifts, but swear by thy name never to caress the royal mouth again!
  1738. >You feel wounded at her words, but do as she declares
  1739. L: Now... what is it you have brought your Princess?
  1740. >A little smile plays across her perfect muzzle
  1741. A: We bring cupped cakes from Sugar Cube Corner, m'lady!
  1742. L: Ah, yes, we have heard of these new delicacies, but have found the royal bakery wanting...
  1743. A: We implore our empress to eat from these confectioneries! We personally know the chef who created these artful cakes and can attest to their worth!
  1744. >She looks skeptically at you for a moment before taking a cupcake with her magic
  1745. >Her porcelain teeth tear into the moist cake and rich frosting in a most ladylike fashion
  1746. L: These are... delectable!
  1747. A: 'Twas our face when we ate them as well!

  2019. >You stare at Twilight's obviously false words
  2020. A: We have witnessed her bake, we have tasted her goods and found them delectable. How can you dismiss such a gifted mind as Pinkie Pie?
  2021. TS: Yeah... gifted... Anon, Pinkie is a worker for the Cake's bakery at Sugar Cube Corner. She doesn't own the store
  2022. A: This is... most unorthodox. How does she make such incredible desserts if she is not the chef?
  2023. >Twilight shrugs
  2024. TS: She's great at her job, yeah, but we'd have to see if the Cake's have the time to do a catering job like this

  2030. A: Oh, we suppose that makes some sense... we had never had such an -affable- host before
  2031. >Twilight looks up at you

  2037. TS: Anon, I know you are probably old enough to know, but if somep0ny tries to touch you in a way that's uncomfortable, just walk away!
  2038. >You tilt you head at her
  2039. A: Honestly, m'lady, our body needed what we were offered. Though we cannot lie, 'twas shallow horseplay. Just a passing fancy in the night
  2040. >Twilight pulls back from you and her face shows an intense expression
  2041. TS: You really did -do- it with her! Oh my gosh! It's just like Fluttershy to... experiment... but, you two only just met! You're not even a pony!
  2042. A: We do not follow...
  2043. TS: It's weird! It is weird! You are a human! She's a pony! A pony, Anon! What if you got hurt? What if she over did herself this time!
  2044. A: Twilight Sparkle, we promise it was consensual. Besides, as a royal servant, it was more her privilege than our own
  2045. >Twilight shakes her head as if the thing she just heard is boarding the insane
  2046. TS: We have -got- to catch you up with the times... and keep Fluttershy away from endangered species... did you... -do- anyp0ny else since you've been back?
  2047. >You think back to the filly, Scootaloo
  2048. A: We are uncertain... does mutual masturbation account for penetrative sex this day and age?
  2049. >Twilight's face is beaming red with embarrassment
  2050. TS: Yeesh, how lewd was it a thousand years ago?
  2051. A: Nothing is vulgar about the pony or human form. 'Tis a beautiful act of copulation. Merely a ballet in motion between two bodies
  2052. >Twilight stares at you for a moment before a trickle of blood leaks from her nose
  2053. TS: Ahh! I can't believe what I'm hearing! I can't believe we're having this conversation!
  2054. >She ducks her head and trembles lightly
  2055. >You fear you may be disrupting the mission now
  2056. A: Enough talk about flights of fancies and may and mayhap! We still have the task again
  2057. TS: True... um... yeah, so... two mares since you got here... I mean! No, not like that... just... OK~! The mission! Ha ha! Yes, that important mission from the Princess herself
  2058. >Twilight reads the letter over again
  2059. TS: I don't see much about a party for Luna in here... this is more about teach Luna and you about how the world works today
  2060. A: The Princess has asked us to make arrangements to meet her subjects. The party is an idea we believe will facilitate the unveiling of the Moon Princess
  2061. >Twilight thinks for a moment
  2062. TS: You're probably right... well, since you're here already, we should probably work on a quick language lesson
  2063. A: Dost thou think we speaketh poorly?
  2064. >She glances aside from the general statement
  2065. TS: It is a little... awkward
  2066. A: The royal Canterlot voice should always carry this much volume and use the royal 'we' to show we love our subjects!
  2067. TS: Yeah... you've had a talk with Celestia, right?
  2068. A: Indeed
  2069. TS: You noticed she doesn't do that much anymore, right?
  2070. >You really did not, oddly enough
  2071. A: We see what you imply
  2072. TS: So, for starters, lets tone down the yelling
  2073. >You use your whispering voice
  2074. A: How is this?
  2075. TS: Very good! You got that quickly enough. Now, say, "I like to sing in the sun"
  2076. A: We praise the sun in song
  2077. TS: No, no... "I like to sing in the sun"
  2078. A: -I- l-like to praise the sun
  2079. TS: Almost... word by word now
  2080. A: I like to sing in t-the sun... I like to sing in the sun!
  2081. TS: Great job!
  2082. A: We... I thank thee, Twilight Sparkle!
  2083. >She shoots you a glare and you smirk
  2084. A: Apologies, m'lady, I was excited
  2085. >The two of you spend another hour or so working on refining your language until you are nearly perfect
  2086. A: It has been such a pleasure, it has, to bring our voice into line with the times. I thank you, dearest Twilight
  2087. >You lay your hand upon her side and stroke down
  2088. >She shivers and pulls away
  2089. TS: Watch the hands, you!
  2090. A: Sorry, sorry! I forget my place...
  2091. TS: Personal space is big these days with ponies. The minimal safe distance is three feet. I can assure you, nop0ny wants somep0ny coming up beside them and petting them or stroking their mane... not even with warm hands...
  2092. >Twilight stares intently at your hands in your lap
  2093. A: How fascinating... in my time, ponies would adore when I was in town and never once worried about me petting them while close. I dare say they enjoyed it
  2094. TS: W-well, it's just kind of... close... a-and somep0nies might not be so keen on being close
  2095. A: Oh, yes, I understand wholeheartedly
  2096. TS: Good! Then next lesson...
  2097. >Twilight teaches you about etiquette in the market place, the latest currency and a few tidbits about new advances in science, medicine, and magic
  2098. A: My word... the world is certainly looking like a brighter place with the way you tell it. Explain this concept of, "bad" meaning "good" again?
  2099. >You go on like this for a little while longer
  2100. >You stare outside for the umpteenth time during the lesson to see sheets of rain pelting the tree home. C'est la vie!
  2101. TS: I think we covered most of this letter with you... I would love to meet Luna and go over it as well
  2102. A: Yes, absolutely. I would sit in on this class again. It would certainly ease our empress' fears of adjustment
  2103. >You smile at the thought of be trapped with Luna for a day
  2104. >Your expression must be telling as Twilight looks at you with some worry
  2105. TS: Ah, hello? Ponyville to Anon, come in, Anon?
  2106. A: Oh, yes, what can I do for you?
  2107. TS: You spaced out for a moment there... everything alright?
  2108. A: Just thinking of our Princess of the Night makes us pleased... I mean, makes me happy...
  2109. >Twilight looks to you sternly
  2110. TS: Just keep practicing, you'll get the language down pretty quick. It also helps to talk to other ponies around town
  2111. >You consider all this advice and stare to the rain slicked window again
  2112. >You must look melancholy as Twilight constantly calls upon you
  2113. TS: It's been a few hours now... are you hungry? Oh, I don't even know what you eat
  2114. A: Anything... everything... I am rather flexible
  2115. TS: Ah, yes, an omnivorous animal. Able to eat meat -and- leafy plants. I've never seen an omnivore up close before... do you think I could have a look?
  2116. >You shrug and smile
  2117. A: The only thing you could truly see is my incisors
  2118. >Twilight approaches you and you open your jaw wide
  2119. TS: Oh my... your jaw is hinged like a snake! Can it come off?
  2120. A: Yes, but I'll have a damnable time to put it back on
  2121. >You feel magic hold your mouth open a bit wider than you appreciate and Twilight looks around
  2122. TS: Fascinating! Your teeth are really pretty. Front are sharper, molars in the back... a bit of this one is chipped off... interesting
  2123. A: Dank oo...
  2124. >It is difficult to speak when your mouth is pried apart
  2125. TS: Are your teeth like a ponies teeth?
  2126. >You wrestle your mouth back from Twilight
  2127. A: What do you mean?
  2128. TS: Well, in pony anatomy, you can usually tell a pony's age by the shape, size and wear of the teeth...
  2129. A: Sort of... you can not directly find my age by teeth alone, but my teeth are all adult teeth in my species. Age is a difficult number for humans as we often can appear older or younger with relative ease
  2130. TS: Is that some form of magic?
  2131. A: Not true magic... mostly illusion and deception
  2132. TS: I am not really a zoologist myself, that is more Fluttershy's forte. You are definitely the most interest species I have ever met though
  2133. A: I spent more time amongst ponies than my own species. We probably share plenty of cultural similarities at this point in time
  2134. TS: Well, maybe not so much... I know you are more of a royal type. An ancient royal type... if my history books are right or accurate, then we may be very different
  2135. A: But, 'tis just opinions... I believe I can call you my friend?
  2136. TS: That is a definite similarity!
  2137. >Twilight reaches her hoof out as if to shake your hand
  2138. >Semantics!
  2139. >You hug the little unicorn closely and nestle against her mane
  2140. TS: A-Anon! Personal space!
  2141. >You giggle and squeeze her a bit more
  2142. TS: My mane's so dirty, don't put your face on it...
  2143. >You release her and she staggers a bit
  2144. >Her face is red and she doesn't look at you
  2145. TS: W-well, thank you... for the hug... humans do it differently, I see...
  2146. A: The beauty of hands, my dear
  2147. >She continues to blush and scoots away carefully
  2148. A: Still pouring outside... what a dreadful event we face when we have so much work to do
  2149. TS: Well, it's not the end of the world. We can always take a day to set up a midnight celebrations for Princess Luna
  2150. A: Yes, we can! I want my Princess to be happy again, to feel welcome in her own nation and by her own subjects. She has forgotten a lot of her past, I fear, and she needs help regaining it
  2151. TS: Why are you so loyal to Luna? I don't hear you fawning over Celestia one bit
  2152. A: Can you keep a royal secret?
  2153. TS: I think so...
  2154. A: Luna and I were bedfellows in our time
  2155. >Twilight's mouth hangs open and she stutters and pops
  2156. TS: A-Anon! H-how! Why?! Princess! You! What?!
  2157. A: 'Twas a long time ago... and she hardly can recall our time now. We were on a peaceful trip to lay a trade route with native ponies from the east or so my superior did brief me...
  2158.  
  2159. >Hundreds of years ago, in a disguised royal wagon on a lone road
  2160. >Be Sir Anonymous
  2161. >You are bedecked in your armaments as you sit beside the Princess of the Night
  2162. A: Faire weather for your guiding moon, our Princess
  2163. L: 'Tis always faire weather when the moon is full
  2164. >You chuckle knowingly
  2165. A: We wish to know of our target and why we have been tasked to take arms?
  2166. L: Our target is a ruse, vassal... we have tasked thee to take arms for your princess to see just what loyalty lies within
  2167. A: Never the type to trust so easily... we are not at all concerned with what thou wrought upon us
  2168. L: Strong and naïve, excellent traits for the Earth caste, but thee would be less suited for trials in our courts and better preserved an apple farmer
  2169. >She chuckles wickedly, but you know she hardly means it
  2170. A: Do tell us, dearest empress, what dost this mission claim of my steel and stamina?
  2171. L: It will demand a show of your loyalty and a test of your stamina...
  2172. A: Steel not be met with steel?
  2173. >You hold your sword at eye level and allow the moonlight to gleam from it
  2174. >Luna's hoof pushes the weapon slowly to the ground
  2175. L: We look not for strength on the battlefield as would our sister. We look for strength in thine eyes, thy soul... we have seen the glimpse of it, but tonight we demand it rise or forever be snuffed!
  2176. A: We understand and we shall serve ever faithful, Princess
  2177. >You nod your head solemnly
  2178. >The carriage stops and you see Luna rise to her hooves
  2179. >You follow her out of the wagon and see a clearing before you
  2180. >An alter stands in the center of the concentrated ground and the moonlight shines squarely on the stone
  2181. L: In the center of the stone is embedded a dagger. Thy weapon is made from purest moonlight and would serve thee well. Can you wake it from its slumber?
  2182. A: So commanded, so shall we follow...
  2183. >You proceed to the stones relatively unharmed
  2184. >As you reach into the moonbeam, you feel a burning sensation and immediately pull back
  2185. >The moonlight is as strong as Celestia's radiant spear!
  2186. >You attempt to enter the circle again only to smoke and burn
  2187. >You turn back to see Luna at the edge of the circle
  2188. >With renewed vigor, you strip your heavy armaments off
  2189. >They clash and clatter to the ground and you stand before the burning moonlight in a simple rag
  2190. A: For our Princess...
  2191. >You race into the moonlight and feel your body begin to burn like stepping into the sun itself
  2192. >Smoke billows from your body, but you ignore the pain and race on
  2193. >The blade is in sight and you reach forward
  2194. >Flames engulf your back and head now
  2195. >You press on with a hand outstretched
  2196. >The dagger comes within your palm and you grasp it quickly
  2197. >You race on as flames surround your being
  2198. >Your skin feels as if it will simply peel off now
  2199. >A leap and you throw yourself from the vicious light ring
  2200. >Your princess is there waiting when you exit the moonlight
  2201. >Her magic engulfs you and the fires are doused
  2202. >Burns painfully cover your body and you attempt to hold up the dagger, but your arms are moaning in agony
  2203. A: Empress... we succeeded...
  2204. >You lay on the ground and form the best smile you can as you look up to Luna
  2205. >She sits over you and sobs lightly
  2206. >You feel tears begin to trickle onto your body
  2207. L: 'Tis a new beginning, Sir Anonymous. live no longer in our shadow, but as our shadow!
  2208. >The tears miraculous remove the pain and your skin turns from char to flesh before your eyes
  2209. >You feel a deep, ancient magic filling you as you clutch the dagger
  2210. A: Princess... Luna, we thank thee...
  2211. L: Twist not your tongue our birthright, but only our name...
  2212. >Her smile is wide and glorious
  2213. A: Luna... dearest, Luna...
  2214. >You stand to your feet and look to your magnificent princess
  2215. >Her tall form and flowing mane hold your attention as she speaks
  2216. >Her magic takes the dagger from your hand and you see it shatter into millions of shards
  2217. L: 'Twas the work of the heavens... fate has guided you to us and we answer the call. We now know you shall be ours and ours alone
  2218. A: But, what of our Princess of the Sun?
  2219. L: Speak not of my sister! She shall find her vassal in time, but this night, we have found ours
  2220. >Luna moves close to you and you feel her magic distort time and space
  2221. >The world is still, peaceful and unaware of you two
  2222. >Luna moves to you and her face presses into your own
  2223. >You feel your princess' lips on your own and her tongue pressed against your teeth
  2224. >You return this unwarranted affection
  2225. >When you separate, Luna smiles at you again
  2226. L: Thou knows more than he has claimed
  2227. A: And our empress has given us such carnal pleasure... we dare question it
  2228. L: As we have declared, thou body be ours... our souls entangle forever and a day, so should our bodies. Dost thou protest?
  2229. >She raises her backside and swishes her tail at you
  2230. >Her head cranes around and her seductive, predatory eyes draw you in
  2231. A: Not too much...
  2232. >You take your princess' backside in your hands and decide you will be the best she has ever had now and forever
  2233. >You rub her soft bottom with your palms and she backs up into you
  2234. L: Tease me not, our love!
  2235. >You fall to your rightful place on your knees and breathe in the scent of your plush empress
  2236. >The delightful smell of her excitement has your mouth water
  2237. L: Why dost thou rest when his Princess needs her champion to -stand- and -deliver-?!
  2238. >Her shouting quickly changes into cooing as your warm mouth engulfs her sex
  2239. >You slurp at her neat folds and use your hands to spread and rub her inflated button
  2240. L: Yes~! This pleases your Princess!
  2241. >She backs a bit and your nose and mouth are covered in her slick depths
  2242. >You continue to clean her insides with your tongue and occasionally give her clitoris a short suck
  2243. >The noises your Princess makes has brought your body to attention
  2244. >You feel one last push from her backside as the princess' body convulses
  2245. >Your face is plastered with a jet of roiling crème from the depths of Luna's being
  2246. >This only entices you to redouble your efforts as you swallow her sweet mare love
  2247. L: Anonymous! Your Princess is not used to~ this! Ahh~!
  2248. A: Our Princess will learn to love our tongue on her most beautiful parts as we shall clean her every night!
  2249. >You continue your lewd slurping and sucking and nibbling until the Princess has to remove you from her rump
  2250. >She grabs you by your maleness with her hot magic and rubs your quickly
  2251. L: Your Princess demands you give back as many an orgasm as you have taken... on the double!
  2252. >She takes you in a vulgar kiss that is equal parts wet and forceful
  2253. A: Does our empress enjoy her vassal's mouth?
  2254. L: We admit your tongue is skilled, if not short... your princess needs to feel your -sword-
  2255. A: None have stood from my fury before
  2256. >Her eyes lock with your own
  2257. L: War hath no fury like a mare unsatisfied
  2258. >You feel the magic grip you tighter and stroke you faster still
  2259. >You draw Luna's glorious body against your own
  2260. >Her wings sprawl out in your arms and you kiss again
  2261. >You break with a string of slaver on your lips and Luna whispers
  2262. L: Breed us...
  2263. >You are enthralled to your princess as she bends forward, exposing her slick marehood and plump flank
  2264. >Your arms instinctively surround her hindquarters and your throbbing lance humps aimlessly against your empress
  2265. >With one blind thrust, you sink into the velvety depths of your lover
  2266. >You bury yourself until your hips touch and your groin is matted in her fluids
  2267. >With renewed purpose, you slide your hefty shaft from her slowly and saw back in
  2268. >Luna moans and heaves and spurs you onward
  2269. >You begin to move in a steady rhythm to the wonderful sounds of your princess' voice
  2270. >Your own rod is nestled by Luna's grip and you cannot believe how taut her body is
  2271. >With inhuman resilience, you hump and grind any sensibility away
  2272. >Luna's voice brings you back into this reality as you feel her astonishing sex pull you deeper
  2273. L: Ah~ ah~! Your Princess cometh!
  2274. >With a moan so deep you can feel it in your own chest, Luna gushes another liter of her hot compliment onto you
  2275. >The feeling of forcing your own sex against the wave is simply incredible and you allow it to break around your body
  2276. >You stand in a small puddle, riding your lovely empress as her front hooves give out
  2277. >Her face lays upon the ground, her wings hang wearily to her sides, but her rump stands tall and willing
  2278. >After the ten most intense, passionate seconds of your existence, you fill your lover
  2279. >Your own abused body wrenches upward and your teeth grit tight
  2280. >Luna's body holds fast and allows you no remorse as it drinks every sticky wave sincerely
  2281. A: Princess... Princess, we love thee... we will always be yours and yours alone
  2282. >You hear a type of gurgling sound and see that your empress is a bit absent at the moment
  2283. >For the first time, you feel the wind move again and realize the Princess' powers have faded
  2284. >You pull out slowly, as leaving is difficult both mentally and physically, and your bruised member hangs in exhaustion
  2285. >You move to the front most half of your Princess and see she is half awake
  2286. >You lift her muzzle and kiss her tenderly until you feel her move in return
  2287. >The two of you part slowly, gazing into each other's eyes
  2288. >No words now... only love
  2289.  
  2290. >Presently, in a library on a horrible, rainy day
  2291. >Be Anon the Learned
  2292. A: And that is the true story of my devotion for my princess. A love-bound trance that eats at my heart every second I know she does not remember me
  2293. >You finally turn from staring out the window to look for Twilight
  2294. >She is in absolute shock, standing completely idle with a look of indisputable dread
  2295. A: Is something the matter, m'lady?
  2296. TS: Oh my gosh... oh, Celestia...
  2297. A: Hmm? Is everything alright?
  2298. TS: Y-you -did- it with Princess Luna?
  2299. A: Yes, is that a problem?
  2300. TS: Well, I guess not! Did you have to go into greatly -exaggerated- details about every little thing that happened?!
  2301. A: I suppose not... but, I do pride myself on story telling! If it means anything in this day and age, she was a virgin at the moment. Though, I admit I did not learn that until later on
  2302. TS: Stop! Just stop! Ahhh! I can't believe anyp0ny could just go around talking about -doing- it!
  2303. >You see that this little unicorn is deeply afraid of this kind of physical romance, you should probably stop talking about
  2304. >At least, not talk anymore about it
  2305. TS: Yikes, I just wanted a back-story and you give me The Pony Sutra. All that talk of wet and squishing and kissing and... ahh! I can't get it out of my head now!
  2306. >You sigh and chuckle at the panicking little mare
  2307. A: I have come to assume you haven't had a relationship with a stallion yourself?
  2308. TS: I'm really busy, OK?! I can't just go out and -find- a stallion, take him home and... and -do- it!
  2309. A: I understand you completely...
  2310. TS: Y-you do?
  2311. A: Absolutely! ... Vassal to the Sun
  2312. >You grin with a wicked grin
  2313. >Her face sinks and her eyes bulge
  2314. >You must have struck the right nerve now!
  2315. TS: It's not like that... you know... it just happened
  2316. >You grin disappears
  2317. A: Eh, beg pardon?
  2318. TS: Celestia has had me longer than my parents... she was my caretaker for years now... sometimes you just love somep0ny...
  2319. >Twilight sobs lightly
  2320. >Oh, this is much darker than you thought
  2321. A: Look, Twilight, I did not mean to be harsh or to pry into your personal life. Was but a joke. Don't weep for it. Especially if you are true to yourself in that your love is real
  2322. >She sniffles for a moment
  2323. A: I think I understand the full intention of our Princess now. I think she plans to make us friends... though for what reason, I know not. In years that I had known Celestia, I never once saw her seek a vassal as Luna sought me. Perhaps... we are not just a vassal, but something more for the Princesses?
  2324. TS: I... I don't know... everything you're telling me is completely crazy. It's in no history, it's in no myth, no book at all!
  2325. A: I fear that we will be making these books in the not-so-distant future. Lets make our chapter the better one, agreed?
  2326. >Twilight cracks a smile and her eyes water
  2327. TS: Agreed
  2328. >She stumbles over to you and wraps herself around your leg
  2329. >You reach down and pet her mane
  2330. TS: Just this once... I'll let you pet me... just once
  2331. >You smile warmly and stare at the downpour outside a while longer
  2332. >This day raises a lot of questions and you fear nothing was completed
  2333. >Perhaps tomorrow will be better
  2334. >Perhaps tomorrow, you will wake back in your chambers to the sound of Luna's voice calling out to see you again
  2335. >Your eyes compete with the sky
  2336. >Maybe, when your tomorrow comes, maybe she will say those words again...
  2337. >"I love you, Anonymous..."

  2370. RD: Don't you worry, your books will be fine inside
  2371. TS: This is serious, Dash! I have to plan a party for Princess Luna and it has to be tomorrow night!
  2372. >Rainbow pulls herself together
  2373. RD: Wait, a party for Night Mare Moon? Doesn't she, like... have a whole holiday or something?
  2374. TS: No, no, this is different! We need to do a welcoming party
  2375. >Rainbow Dash rolls her eyes and talks quickly
  2376. RD: A "welcoming" party for one of Equestria's scariest campfire stories? Are you sure that's a good idea?
  2377. >You sigh and understand what Rainbow means
  2378. TS: I know... it's... it's kind of a long story. Anonymous has asked me to help him and...
  2379. >Rainbow crosses her hooves like a "T"
  2380. RD: Whoa, time out! This story is getting complex... now that human things involved too? Did you bump your head in the storm?
  2381. >You narrow your eyes on Rainbow Dash and stand tall
  2382. TS: This is an order by Celestia herself, Dash, and we need to see that it gets done perfectly!
  2383. RD: Yeesh, OK, I get it... hang on a second, OK?
  2384. >Rainbow snatches a clipboard from a nearby desk and reads it over
  2385. RD: OK... so, there's no rain tomorrow, but it's going to be cloudy. Is that OK?
  2386. TS: Will it be cloudy all night?

  2729. L: Ah, o-our body has missed this!
  2730. >You adored the sounds of your Princess' lustful whinnies
  2731. >You bite and suckle and probe her swollen sex with an artiste's touch
  2732. >The Princess' rapacious body pulls at your tongue with each taste and holds onto each finger you insert
  2733. >Her beautiful body calls you just slightly north to her glistening tail hole
  2734. >You glide your mouth from one hole to the next and are delighted by the sound of panting
  2735. L: Sir Anonymous! T-that is n-not...
  2736. >You clench your Empress' sizable flank in both hands and forces your tongue into her perfect bottom
  2737. >A chorus of pleasure spews from Luna's mouth as you introduce her to your depraved techniques
  2738. >You slide a few fingers into her boiling snatch and continue assaulting her assets with your hungry mouth
  2739. >Her once reluctant tone gives out as her hips push into your mouth
  2740. >You feel your fingers squeezed in the silken vice of Luna's depth as her body gushes her admiration over you
  2741. L: By... the... moon...
  2742. >Your Princess' eyes are wide and teary
  2743. >Her mouth hangs open and she pants quickly
  2744. >You bask in her scent and clean your fingers before her
  2745. >She stares with a morbid fascination as your suck your fingers clean
  2746. A: We have missed this... our lover tastes like the finest of delicacies
  2747. >Luna's eyes fixate through you for the moment
  2748. A: Is there a problem?
  2749. L: We believe we had a voyeur...
  2750. >You turn quickly to see a blue mare laying against a bookshelf with her hoof plastered between her loins
  2751. >You approach to find Trixie asleep and the smell of dry whey filling the air
  2752. >Her face seems to be twisted into a pleasurable, but nervous grimace
  2753. >You chuckle lightly at this one and sigh
  2754. A: We shouldn't leave her in this state... 'tis cruel...
  2755. >Luna nods and smiles
  2756. L: Take the little filly to the guest bedroom... and then meet us in our chambers. The sun will be up in a scant four hours and we have -much- to learn of our vassal's... resolve
  2757. >She winks at you and her tongue runs smoothly across her lower lip
  2758. >Love is a many-splendored thing

  2761.  
  2762. >Day of Our Misplaced Generosity in Equestria
  2763. >Be Princess Celestia the frustrated
  2764. >Your horn tingles and sparks with magic against your will for the moment as you stir from your slumber
  2765. >The time comes once more for you to raise the sun for your ponies
  2766. >You stride across the marble floor of your bedroom to a large, glass door leading out to a balcony
  2767. >The doors ease open under your expert will as you move to one dark edge and watch the night begin to churn
  2768. >The moon ducks under the horizon as you call upon the sphere of life-giving light and the first warm rays cross the sleepy lands
  2769. >A cock welcomes your morning with its call from somewhere below your palace and you smirk with a satisfied sigh
  2770. >Your mind grades last night's dream as you amble back into your quarters
  2771. >Twilight was in it, sleeping so soundly on your bed as you had seen her do during her formative years
  2772. >You approach her little body and smile at her as she snores lightly and dreams her childhood dreams
  2773. >Then, you remember seeing -him-
  2774. >You hate him, he just stands in one corner of the room and watches you
  2775. >Standing in his two-legged manner with his hands by his side, he nods as if listening to a music that is not there
  2776. >You don't want him near your student and, if you had it your way, near any other pony
  2777. >He smiles at you and speaks, but no sound comes from him
  2778. >This part makes you curious now as you dwell on it
  2779. >Anonymous steps into the hallway and falls over
  2780. >You peer outside to see his fallen body turned to stone and your sister standing over him
  2781. >Her eyes are wild and her mane burns with cosmic fury as she bellows in your direction
  2782. >You see her screaming and you are sure her voice would boom in the halls, but there is still no sound to be heard
  2783. >Luna's angry, twisted features continue to yell at you and tears stream to the floor
  2784. >Each tear drop is a black dollop of nothing you know of and they splash loudly
  2785. >The dream ends as you see Luna's body fade with each tear drop until nothing is left but a large, black puddle surround the statute of the human servant
  2786. >An odd dream, you think, as you don your royal regalia and head out towards the dining hall
  2787. >You push the intrusive thoughts aside as a maid approaches you
  2788. >"Princess, breakfast is ready."
  2789. >She speaks quickly before bouncing along with clean bedding propped on her back
  2790. >You stop her as she passes you
  2791. "Little one, would you do me a favor and check up on Luna in the west wing?"
  2792. >She nods her head twice and smiles before cantering off
  2793. >It would be unfair to have breakfast with your sister this early
  2794. >She needs rest after keeping the moon in its heaven all night
  2795. >You think that you will share dinner together as you so often do and speak then, but it would not hurt to see if Luna is still awake
  2796. >You continue down the hall and watch as many different servants file in and out of rooms, royal guards line halls and escort other workers, and many scribes carry untold stacks of papers to and fro in their mad scramble called, 'administration'
  2797. >As you pass a window, you see guards training in the yard with sword and shield and you smile
  2798. >You never would want war to encompass your nation as so often occurred in the past, but you cannot help to think of how enjoyable steel between your teeth felt
  2799. >You trot a bit as the nostalgic bliss fills you and make your way to the south wing
  2800. >Your face returns to its regal position as you enter to see chefs moving about to set your seat and ready a meal
  2801. >The smell of delightful pastries fill your nose and your mouth waters in anticipation
  2802. >You keep your air of dignity as you take your seat and patiently wait
  2803. >A silver platter quickly finds its way before you and the lid lifts to reveal a buffet of decedent treats
  2804. >You lift a moist bit of bread topped with icing and take a regal nibble
  2805. >The chef at your side has tense eyes and you can see a bead of sweat build at his brow
  2806. >For nothing more than your amusement, you swish the delicious food in your mouth and act as if you are grading it
  2807. >You pause and swallow as the chef's breathing thins to a nonexistent level
  2808. >Another moment passes before you finally give him release and smile
  2809. "Excellent as ever. I really enjoy the warm filling. Butter cream, I take it?"
  2810. >He sighs and relaxes as his head nods quickly
  2811. >"The finest batch I have ever made. Fresh and warm as always, my Princess."
  2812. "I look forward to the wonderful treats you come up with, Chef Patty. I can hardly wait for brunch."
  2813. >You slip a smile to him and he nearly falls over
  2814. >"Yes, brunch! Oh course, it'll be magnificent! You have my word!"
  2815. >You take a sip of water and chuckle at his enthusiasm
  2816. >The door opens and in steps a light-blue mare with a starry hat and cape
  2817. >Her face flits between determination and unease as she looks in your direction
  2818. "Hello, my little pony, good morning."
  2819. >You disarm her with a wide grin and wave a hoof to a seat near yourself
  2820. >The mare takes a step in and cautiously approaches you
  2821. >When she draws near enough, you gesture to a seat and raise your eyes to her
  2822. "And what is your name?"
  2823. >"T-Trixie, your majesty. The Great and P-Powerful Trixie..."
  2824. >The name rings in your head for the moment
  2825. "Oh, I believe I have heard of you before. My pupil had told me about you some time ago."
  2826. >"You know... I mean, of course you know! The Great and Powerful Trixie is the most magical unicorn in all of Equestria."
  2827. >You smirk at her as you lift another pastry to your mouth
  2828. "Oh, I had no idea I was in the presence of a professional... would you care to show me some of your magic?"
  2829. >The little unicorn's eyes dilate to pin pricks and she looks up at you with a pale face
  2830. >"Of course, ha ha! I will um, I will show you spectacular feats of spell crafting?"
  2831. >She removes herself from the table and walks about three yards away
  2832. >After a deep breath, her horn glows bright with raw energy
  2833. >You see streamers and fireworks burst all around and Trixie writes her name across the background in a neon blue script
  2834. >It is a cute parlor trick and you clop your hooves together lightly in approval
  2835. >Trixie suddenly smiles brightly at you and bows as neatly as you please
  2836. >"Thank you, thank you!"
  2837. >She approaches her seat again with more confidence and sits beside you
  2838. "Please, feel free to have whatever you like. Everything is delicious."
  2839. >Trixie takes up a slice of bread and butters it evenly with glee
  2840. >"Thank you, Princess Celestia. The Great and Powerful Trixie had heard you were kind and generous, but this is much more than the stories would suggest."
  2841. >You smile at the concept of other ponies creating fables about you
  2842. >It is nice, you think, to be remembered as the heroine that Equestria deserves
  2843. "So, have you been in the castle long?"
  2844. >"Oh, no, I just arrived yesterday."
  2845. "Oh? Did you sleep here?"
  2846. >"Yes, it was the best sleep the Great and Powerful Trixie has ever had."
  2847. >You nod and think
  2848. "Did you come with guests?"
  2849. >"I came with that weird guy. It's kind of long story, but believe me when I say that he is a pain in the saddle."
  2850. >Trixie snorts quickly and you cannot suppress a growing grin
  2851. "Sir Anonymous, you mean?"
  2852. >"Yes, that's him! He tricked me, insulted me and tried to make a fool of the Great and Powerful Trixie."
  2853. "Oh my... it does sound like him."
  2854. >Your grin twists evilly as you continue discussing Anonymous
  2855.  
  2856. >In a warm bed with a beautiful mare coiled around your body
  2857. >Be Anonymous the sore
  2858. >You lay beside your loving Princess as her hips hold your own
  2859. >Your hands stroke through her lush mane and slide down her silken back
  2860. >A warm muzzle presses into your face as your lips meet and your tongues entwine
  2861. >Your mind buzzes with pleasure as you taste your Princess' warm breath again and feel her thick tongue explore your mouth
  2862. >You part with a small slurping sound and stare into her gorgeous eyes
  2863. >The feeling of her heartbeat brings you joy and she sighs
  2864. >"Anonymous, our dear, sweet Anonymous... we have missed you so."
  2865. "Fear not, empress, for we shall never roam without one another again."
  2866. >You adjust your lower half as Luna's muscles pull you closer
  2867. >"Dost thou feel -up- for another round?"
  2868. >The Princess of the Night stares with hungry eyes
  2869. "For our Princess, always..."
  2870. >One hand takes her face and you begin kissing down her chin and to her throat
  2871. >Your free hand glides down Luna's soft body, resting casually between her legs as you grope her small breast
  2872. >"Ah~, a gentlecolt as always."
  2873. >You smirk as you continue to fondle your dear Princess
  2874. >Slowly, you leave a trail of kisses down her body and feel the shivers of anticipation as you move lower
  2875. >You crawl partway off the bed so that you can relax your legs as you work on Luna
  2876. >Her body is yours to explore and you take great enjoyment in your pleasuring
  2877. >A quick sample from the source sets your tongue aflame and you eagerly return for another lap
  2878. >The movements and sounds of your lover drives you mad with desire to prove yourself
  2879. >A sudden noise catches your attention as the door opens quickly
  2880. >You freeze with your tongue stuck to Princess Luna as it would stick to an icicle and you gaze over to the figure in the doorway
  2881. >Luna's head quickly turns to one side and she tries to close her legs as if to hide your head
  2882. >The maid at the door holds a hoof to her mouth
  2883. >"Oh... my..."
  2884. >"Kindly servant! Do avert your attention from us!"
  2885. >The maid twists her stare from the two of you as quickly as she can and mumbles through blushing cheeks
  2886. >"Um... P-Princess Celestia... she, um... she wants to know if you want b-breakfast?"
  2887. >Lacking shame for the moment, you look up to Luna from between her legs
  2888. "We could certainly use sustenance after the night."
  2889. >Luna's eyes bounce as if focusing on you before she chuckles lightly
  2890. >"Yes... we would like fare, dear maid. Would you mind...?"
  2891. >Luna gestures to close the door, but the mare stares transfixed for the moment on you
  2892. >You clear your throat quickly to grab her attention
  2893. >"Oh... oh! Right, yes... um, s-should I come back with new sheets later?"
  2894. "This is not the best time nor place for such questions..."
  2895. >You shoot a sharp glower to the mare who seems to be drinking in this whole situation
  2896. >She suddenly snaps to and shuts the door
  2897. >You hear the sound of tapping hooves fade as the maid rushes away
  2898. "So... should we..."
  2899. >"By all means..."
  2900. >Luna reclines again as you ease yourself back into place
  2901.  
  2902. >At a table quickly clearing of foodstuffs
  2903. >Be Princess Celestia
  2904. "While he -is- an excellent agent, he was never really in my employ. He's always been my sister's pet project."
  2905. >Trixie shifts in her seat for the moment
  2906. >"Yes, the Great and Powerful Trixie has seen them together before. It's strange, don't you think?"
  2907. >Trixie spreads a bit of peanut butter over a few crackers and snacks quickly
  2908. "My little sister has always been rather mysterious. Her being the night, her goals and intentions are somewhat hidden at times."
  2909. >You sigh as you think about your sister's way
  2910. >There is a moment of uncomfortable stillness before Trixie begins
  2911. >"Well, the Great and Powerful Trixie admits that his magic is alright."
  2912. >You lift a curious eyebrow at the comment
  2913. "Magic? Anonymous cannot perform magic."
  2914. >"Of course he can! He used multiple spells before. I have seen him."
  2915. >You rub your chin and contemplate
  2916. >Has Luna been able to teach him magic?
  2917. >A sudden noise breaks your train of thought as the maid from early enters the hall
  2918. >She approaches you with shifting eyes and a nervous sort of voice rings out
  2919. >"Princess Celestia, Princess Luna and the um, guest... they will both be coming shortly for breakfast."
  2920. >Your eyes perk up at this information
  2921. >It would be lovely to have a meal with your sister, however, you are sure she will insist on having Sir Anonymous around
  2922. >The maid skitters about and you wonder what would have her nerves on edge
  2923. "Please, little one, what has you so concerned?"
  2924. >"Hmm? Oh, nothing! Ha ha, yes, I am just... I need to clean the rooms! I'll be off now..., thank you, Princess."
  2925. >The maid canters off as you turn back to the chef
  2926. >He quickly smiles and dashes off to the kitchen to retrieve more food
  2927. >You wait a bit longer, chatting with Trixie about otherwise mundane topics, until the hall doors open wide
  2928. >In step Anonymous, with all his usual ceremony and pomp as he announces the arrival of Princess Luna
  2929. >It is something he has always done and you were never certain if your sister had trained him for it
  2930. "Dear sister, so good that you could make it! please, sit and eat with me on this fine morning."
  2931. >Luna genuinely smiles to you as she takes up her seat adjacent to your own
  2932. >Anonymous stands just behind her and off to one wing with his hands tucked as neatly as he can behind his back
  2933. >Trixie shifts in her seat once more while staring at Luna and then to Anonymous
  2934. "How was the night, dear sister?"
  2935. >"Glorious as ever! We have been practicing our stars with utmost care."
  2936. >Luna smiles and takes up a few pastries
  2937. >"It is good to be home again... we have missed thee dearly, sister."
  2938. "As I have you. Tell me, do you wish to celebrate Night Mare Night with the denizens of Ponyville this year? It is sudden and you are not required to go."
  2939. >"Oh, verily! We cannot feel anything but joy for this opportunity. We have missed our ponies and our duties greatly. Sir Anonymous has been helping us study to better assimilate with this new age."
  2940. >You smirk and speak through your teeth
  2941. "Has he now? What have you learned thus far?"
  2942. >Luna sits tall and clears her throat
  2943. >"I have learned how best to greet the royal subjects in a manner they are most accustomed to. With Anonymous by my side, I will surely win over the crowd and they will once again shower admiration upon the whole of our rule."
  2944. >You are surprised to see how quickly your sister catches on
  2945. "Excellent work in controlling your voice. I was concerned for the moment, to be honest."
  2946. >You relax as your meal begins to settle in and watch your sister eat
  2947. >Anonymous does not take a seat or eat as he stands by Luna
  2948. "Would you like to have some food as well? There is plenty to go around."
  2949. >You keep your tone civil as you gesture to some pastries
  2950. >"Much obliged, Princess Celestia."
  2951. >He sits quickly with all the dignity one can on two legs and seems to approve of you for some reason or another
  2952. "I have heard some interesting things about you, Sir Anonymous."
  2953. >He smiles in his easy manner
  2954. >"We do hope our name was used by those our name would benefit?"
  2955. "You could put it that way. I am curious though. I hear that you can control magic to some degree. Is that true?"
  2956. >Luna swallows hard before quickly reaching for a drink
  2957. >"Magic? Nothing of the sort, dear empress! Thou knoweth we possess no such gift, save for the steel so expertly imparted upon us by thee."
  2958. >You smirk at Sir Anonymous with more intrigue than anything other
  2959. >Trixie speaks up quickly
  2960. >"You do so have magic! That feather and candle you carry around! The Great and Powerful Trixie saw you use it!"
  2961. >Trixie casts her hoof over the table and points accusingly towards Anonymous
  2962. >To your surprise, Anonymous reaches into his coat and draws out the two objects Trixie spoke of
  2963. >You are not entirely sure what they are and find yourself looking to Luna for answers
  2964. "Artefacts, perhaps?"
  2965. >"Relics of the past, dearest sister. We had discovered such objects could have immediate effects on our enemies of the era. They survived time through Anonymous."
  2966. >You are curious as to why Luna had not briefed you on such items before
  2967. "What are their effects of these items? I presume you haven't been using them on my ponies?"
  2968. >Luna smiles and nods her head
  2969. >"Never hold such an idea that we would place our subjects in harm. These items were enchanted to allow Anonymous to better cope with his surrounds..."
  2970. "In times of war. We live in an age of peace now, dear Luna. We have no need for such weapons."
  2971. >Anonymous clears his throat quickly
  2972. >"Our Princess of the Sun is correct, we need not such measures to deal with the population of the day. We fear we liveth out of time and space when we retrieve such tools."
  2973. >Anonymous surrenders his objects quickly to you
  2974. >It seems uncharacteristically simple of him to just give you his tools of his trade
  2975. >You collect them up and look him over
  2976. >He does not look different, but you cannot be sure
  2977. >You scrutinize the objects as they float before you
  2978. >Their magical bonding is tenuous at best and you cannot truly see why Sir Anonymous would need them to begin with
  2979. >A servant approaches you with a small tray and you lay the items carefully down
  2980. >You instruct them to bring the items to the library for now
  2981. >Trixie sighs and slumps slightly in place
  2982. >"The Great and Powerful Trixie still demands an apology!"
  2983. >All eyes are on the sky-blue mare and she quickly sits up straight
  2984. >You are unsure of Trixie's meaning
  2985. >Luna sets her gaze on Anonymous quickly and nods lightly
  2986. >An exasperated sigh slips from Anonymous' lips before her bows his head
  2987. >"We apologize..."
  2988. >A smirk crosses Trixie's face and she holds her nose up in triumph
  2989. >You shake your head at the two, but smile all the same
  2990. >Luna holds a hoof to her mouth as politely as one can
  2991. >"Mayhap, Sir Anonymous acts coarse from time to time. It is but the shell of a tortoise with which he hides."
  2992. >Your sister smiles to him while he grimaces at her words
  2993. >She lifts a bit of muffin in her magic and coyly stuffs it into his mouth before giggling
  2994. >You pretend it doesn't disgust you to see her fawning over him
  2995. >You excuse yourself from breakfast as the day wanes and you realize you have plenty to do
  2996. >Luna and her pet give their farewells and the mare known as Trixie thanks you dearly
  2997.  
  2998. >Be Twilight Sparkle
  2999. >Today is an exciting day as you board the train to Canterlot
  3000. >Tomorrow is Nightmare Night and you promised to meet Anonymous before then
  3001. >Most importantly, you will be able to see your mentor while you visit
  3002. >She will be so surprised and happy, you think, and she will want to discuss all your have learned so far
  3003. >You smile to yourself as you think about how great it will be with your dear Princess again
  3004.  
  3005. >In Princess Luna's chambers
  3006. >Be Anonymous
  3007. >You tuck in your beloved Princess as she winds down for a nap
  3008. >A yawn escapes you, but you would first see if Princess Celestia needs anything
  3009. >Never let it be said that you would favour any one Princess over the other!
  3010. >You look over the near-sleeping form of you empress before leaving her with a delicate kiss upon her horn
  3011. >With ease, you leave her room and close the door carefully as to not make a sound
  3012. >You begin your pacing through the halls until you arrive at the throne
  3013. >Princess Celestia is sitting atop with her usual majesty while servants and scribes buzz around her like honeybees to their queen
  3014. >The efficiency makes you smile as you approach
  3015. "Our Princess of the Sun! Dost thou require our assistance?"
  3016. >You bow to one knee and smile at the floor
  3017. >All eyes are upon you for the moment as the servants size you up
  3018. >You hear muddled whispers amongst the crowd before Celestia finally breaks the silence
  3019. >"In fact, I do, Anonymous..."
  3020. >Celestia climbs from her cushioned throne and strides to one side of you
  3021. >"... Come, walk with me, Sir Anonymous. I have a few topics I would like your help with."
  3022. >You stand tall and do as your Princess asks
  3023. >Celestia is quiet for the moment until the other ponies are far enough for her liking
  3024. >You both enter the hall dedicated to Starswirl the Bearded when Celestia begins
  3025. >"Anonymous... those items you have given me, they were made from Luna's magic. Why did she first create them for you?"
  3026. "Our Empress had said not why, but that we should use them for our nation's ends."
  3027. >"I see... hmm. Now, another interesting thing I have noticed. My sister's power is rapidly rebuilding since you have spent time with her. Why do you think that may be?"
  3028. "We know not either. 'Tis well that our Princess of the Night regains her strength, correct?"
  3029. >"Correct... A little birdie told me something interesting. Apparently, -you- were in Luna's bedroom this morning?"
  3030. "We were discussing passing fancies of times long forgotten as well as practicing for Night Mare's Eve, dear Princess."
  3031. >"I see..."
  3032. >You feel magic catch you by the nape and you quickly freeze in place
  3033. >"I think there was more to it than that..."
  3034. "Princess, I..."
  3035. >"Along time ago, I made a grave mistake and hurt my sister over you. I have had time to think, to plan. There is no way for me to stop my sister and she appears happy with you... for now. But, mark my words, Anonymous. If you -ever- hurt..."
  3036. >A voice rings out into the hall that makes Celestia's mane stand on end
  3037. >"Princess Celestia! I've been looking all over for you!"
  3038. >You turn to see the unicorn Twilight Sparkle racing towards the two of you with a wide smile on her face and stars in her eyes
  3039. >She quickly latches to the Princess' leg and hugs her as if they have been parted for years
  3040. >With Celestia distracted, her magic fades and you attempt to sneak away with your skin
  3041. >"Oh, hey, Anonymous! Like we agreed, I'm here to see how everything's been going with Luna and you!"
  3042. >Celestia's face scrunches up as she tries to contain herself
  3043. >"Twilight, my dear student, so good to see you."
  3044. "Likewise..."
  3045. >"So, Anon, how has the training been going? Has Luna picked up on today's language as quickly as you hoped?"
  3046. "Y-yes, our Princess is quite good by her learned tongue. Would you not agree?"
  3047. >You look to Celestia with a nervous sort of smile and then back to Twilight
  3048. >Celestia simply nods before making some distance between you
  3049. >"Oh, that's great to hear! Where is Princess Luna now?"
  3050. "Asleep in her chambers."
  3051. >"Oh, alright, hmm. Did you need anything else since I'm here?"
  3052. >You shake your head quickly
  3053. >"Well then, what can I help you with?"
  3054. "Night Mare Eve, anything, all of it. Now."
  3055. >You stare wide-eyed at the Princess with your back nearing the wall
  3056. >Twilight does not seem to catch on as she trots easily away
  3057. >"Sure thing, Anon, just follow me to the library! Did you know..."
  3058. >Her voice does not register in your head as you slide past Celestia and sprint towards the rambling unicorn
  3059. >Making your way out into the hallway, you finally take a breath and look to where you have just come from
  3060. >The Princess of the Sun is gone before you see where she had moved to
  3061. >A fear grips your heart and your spine drips with a chill
  3062. >"... And it's been like that for nearly 300 years now, assuming all the context is as accurate as the book implies! And... Anon? Are you paying attention?"
  3063. "Hmm? Oh, yes, we are listening..."
  3064. >"Good, because we have arrived! Now, if Princess Luna and you have time today, I would suggest stopping by Ponyville to get some nice costumes. Rarity always has great stuff this time of year, but you can always make your own!"
  3065. >You scowl at the word for a moment
  3066. "Costume? What dost thou imply?"
  3067. >"You know? For Nightmare Night? Everyp0ny wears a costume and goes door to door for... candy?"
  3068. >Twilight looks up at you with a sincerity you scarcely see
  3069. >"You, um... you don't know anything about this new holiday, do you?"
  3070. "Please, do elaborate."
  3071. >"OK, well, the story goes, and keep in mind that this is a story for little foals, that every year we celebrate Nightmare Night by dressing up as something scary and collecting candy. Then, we lay some candy tribute to Night Mare Moon so she... um, so she doesn't eat us? Eh ha."
  3072. >Twilight fidgets in place as she speaks to you and you could display no emotions for what you just heard
  3073. "That... is the single most foolish, misguided thing we have had the displeasure to hear! Why? Why would the Princess' subjects ever consider this truth?"
  3074. >"Well, it's just been a long time, you see. Stories become legends and make way for superstitions, I suppose."
  3075. >You rub your temples in frustration
  3076. "The Princess of the Night is not ready to see her subjects in such a manner. We ask of thee to inform them of the proper rituals of veneration."
  3077. >"Slight problem... it's kind of... fun."
  3078. "What is this, 'fun' thou speaks of?
  3079. >Twilight leads you about the library until she comes upon a tome chronicling the last few decades of Ponyville
  3080. >She opens to a section of Night Mare Eve from the previous year and shows you coloured photos
  3081. >"You know, fun?! It's like... doing something you like because you want to do it? Here, look, this picture is of the Mayor and her assistant."
  3082. >You look over the image to see a grey mane mare with a ridiculous white frock and some type of powder on her muzzle
  3083. >Standing beside her is another mare with the petals of bruisewort about her head and a green, silken collar about her neck
  3084. >You have no idea why anyone would do this
  3085. "Let us comprehend this... sight. Ponies dress in the garb of fool's and parade about the night to collect -candy-... and this is, 'fun'?"
  3086. >"It makes more sense when you are just doing it..."
  3087. "We shall take it in kind. Our Empress must know before we leave tomorrow. We would be devastated had she disappointment."
  3088. >"Don't worry, I bet Luna will have fun! You might even enjoy it too."
  3089. >This news takes a while to soak in and you hope your dear Princess will take it as well
  3090. >Twilight mulls over her book a moment longer before closing it
  3091. >"It's going to be fine, I promise. It will be my first Nightmare Night in Ponyville too. We could go together."
  3092. >You ponder for the moment before deciding against it
  3093. "Respectfully, dearest Twilight Sparkle, we choose to be beside our Princess for this new journey."
  3094. >Twilight smiles and nods her head
  3095. >"I understand, you two have a -thing- together... You seem to know Luna well enough, she'd probably be happier with you at her side."
  3096. >You admire the little unicorn's attention to details
  3097. >The two of you proceed from the library and make the trip back towards the main halls
  3098. >You pass a few guards who wave to Twilight now and again and you can't help but wonder just how long she lived in the castle
  3099. >It is an interesting life, the life of a royal, as you know full well and not all can withstand the pressure associated with it
  3100. >"Well, I'm going to visit Princess Celestia and see if she needs anything."
  3101. >A wide grin plays across her face as she says the Princess' name
  3102. >"Oh, but, lets meet up later! We could work on getting you a costume!"
  3103. >You smile and nod, but don't truly intend to dress up like a fool at any rate
  3104. >A quick glance at the sun tells you it is noon and you decide a nap is in order
  3105. >Your beloved Luna did keep you awake the better part of the night and the impromptu breakfast further extended your groggy state
  3106. >Your quarters are just a room from Princess Celestia's, having originally been her faithful servant
  3107. >The trip is quick enough for you and you find yourself crossing the towering door of Celestia's own room
  3108. >A light shines from within and a curiosity takes hold of you
  3109. >You near the door with all the intentions of a thief and gaze in
  3110. >Twilight Sparkle is sitting on Celestia's large bed, a smile plays across her face as she speaks of something or other
  3111. >The Princess seems to be listening in time, nodding every so often while she draws red ribbon from a dresser
  3112. >She approaches Twilight and grins to her and the little unicorn quickly changes expressions to one of bashfulness
  3113. >Magic-bound ribbons delicately wrap around Twilight's neck and tie off into a large bow
  3114. >You witness Twilight put her hooves behind her back and lay to one side as another red bow ties her up
  3115. >You listen intently now
  3116. >"Now, my dear student. Did you remember to study that last guide I sent you?"
  3117. >"Of course!"
  3118. >"Excellent..."
  3119. >You see magic part Twilight's legs slowly and she chuckles lightly
  3120. >"Princess, do you love me?"
  3121. >You hear no answer as Princess Celestia's face readily meets the small unicorn's groin
  3122. >Thinking you have seen enough, you creep away and quietly enter your quarters
  3123. >You lay prone upon your bed, thanking the heavens for the relief as you slip off into slumber
  3124.  
  3125. >In a beautiful meadow in some far away land
  3126. >You are Anonymous the Earth Pony
  3127. >The sunshine feels wondrous on your dark coat as you make your way about the field, picking flower after delicate flower
  3128. >You casually gather a few bundles before walking to a clearing
  3129. >A checkered blanket of white and green lays upon the grass
  3130. >You take a seat and dump your haul onto the blanket
  3131. >Each flower is carefully assorted by the length of the stem and stacked neatly in front of you
  3132. >A wind shifts and blows south as a large cloud begins to roll in
  3133. >You watch the sun obscure behind the mass and a bolt of lightning catches your eye
  3134. >The harsh crack of scorching earth rings out before Princess Luna stands before you
  3135. >"Anonymous... already we find you here? 'Tis unlike thou."
  3136. "We are in our happy place, Empress."
  3137. >"Surely, there is better ways to preoccupy one's self than counting petals in this meadow?"
  3138. "Ah, it may be so. 'Tis a strange diversion, we are certain, yet it makes us feel... secure."
  3139. >"We always worry when thou performs this task. This dream... it is unhealthy for our kindly vassal."
  3140. >A loud sound echoes from far away, or very near, you are not quite sure
  3141. "Why? What will happen?"
  3142. >You stare at your beautiful Princess, but her face is uneasy
  3143. >A smile parts your face as you brandish a flower in your mouth
  3144. >It is a pure white lily and you smile around the stem as you attempt to pass it to Luna
  3145. >"Oh... Anonymous..."
  3146. >She simply sinks her head at your gesture and you cannot help but frown
  3147. >The smell of fire suddenly catches your attention as you look out into the field
  3148. >All the flowers you had left behind are engulfed by a rolling blaze
  3149. >It seems to be rushing towards you at an alarming pace and you set to your hooves
  3150. "Make haste, dear Princess!"
  3151. >You begin to gallop with all your might away until you notice Luna has not moved
  3152. >"Please! Come with us! We wish to keep you from harm!"
  3153. >She shakes her head again as you turn about and race for her
  3154. "Please, dearest Princess!"
  3155. >You reach her as the flame licks away at the blanket and quickly take hold
  3156. >"Anonymous, the flames are not the enemy."
  3157. >What madness has taken hold of your Princess, you know not
  3158. >You quickly run with Luna propped on your back for a dozen yards until you come to the edge of a steep cliff
  3159. >Your breathing quickens as the fire approaches
  3160. "Dearest Princess, dearest Luna! Please, fly away! Leave this one!"
  3161. >She looks at you with emotionless eyes and her head sinks to one side
  3162. >You beg your Princess to take flight and save her precious life, but she continues to lay upon your back
  3163. >The fire reaches your hooves and you feel the heat begin to surge around you
  3164. >"It is not too late, Anonymous..."
  3165. >You watch as the fire begins to consume your body
  3166. >It lashes out at Luna only to shrink back down
  3167. >"Do not give into fear... do not let hatred sway thee..."
  3168. >You cannot speak nor breathe as the fire crawls into your mouth
  3169. >A chocking, burning cough leaves your throat as the flames burn inside and out
  3170. "Lu... na..."
  3171. >You fall to the ground before feeling a soothing cold radiate from your flank
  3172. >Luna's hoof is upon you and her magic passes over you
  3173. >The coolness enters your very being and begins to radiate outward from your chest
  3174. >Lifting yourself back up, you find the meadow is a molten wasteland now
  3175. >Every flower has been burned to cinder and you look up to your Princess
  3176. >"Do not allow such anger to control you! Do you hear us?!"
  3177. "We... we do not understand..."
  3178. >Luna's hoof presses sharply into your chest and you feel a deep cold at your heart
  3179. >"Still the fires lest thee be consumed by thy own malevolence!"
  3180. "We hate none!"
  3181. >"'Tis a lie..."
  3182. >Luna looks to the horizon and you follow her gaze
  3183. >Far into the distance, beyond the burning fields, there stands a white silhouette that shines like the sun
  3184. >It rears back on two legs and spreads its blazing wings as the fires grow higher
  3185. "We... we hate... one."
  3186. >"Release these feelings from thy heart..."
  3187. >Luna pulls her hoof from you
  3188. >You feel the burning, painful twisting of fire course through your insides again as a flame belches from your throat
  3189. >The agony of it all sends you to your knees once more
  3190. >"... Or suffer a life of retribution."
  3191. >The Princess takes you in her magic and rises slowly into the heavens
  3192. >Your body begins to cool again as she holds you closer to her chest
  3193. >A heartbeat catches your attention as you stare up
  3194. >She is holding you so tightly that you feel as protected as a newborn would with its mother
  3195. >There is a sense of wholeness in the world when you are like this and you smile
  3196. "Princess... stay the night?"
  3197. >"We shall..."
  3198. >You close your eyes as your body rests on a cloud and Luna curls along side
  3199. >Her cool body near your own is perfect
  3200. >As tiredness takes you and your eyes begin to close, you hear the voice of your beloved Luna
  3201. >"... Always and forever."
  3202.  
  3203. >Several hours later
  3204. >Be Twilight Sparkle
  3205. >You bid farewell to Princess Celestia as the last of the ribbons come undone
  3206. >Your legs are a little sore, both front and back, from the "lesson" today
  3207. >A content sigh slips from your lips as you think about how much you needed this
  3208. >Celestia is always so good to you and you hope you were good enough for her
  3209. >You really have been studying a lot, but practice makes perfect!
  3210. >The sun is nearly touching the horizon as you glance out a window and you consider finding Anonymous
  3211. >A quick trip around the castle finds you back at Celestia's room
  3212. "His room's right next to the Princess? I use to sleep on the other side of the hall! So lucky..."
  3213. >You turn the handle easily and step inside cautiously
  3214. "Hey, Anon! Are you around...?"
  3215. >A sleeping form takes up residence on a fair sized bed and you notice articles of clothing are resting on a nearby table
  3216. >Anonymous' room is kind of simple, you think, with no real glamour as Princess Celestia's room holds
  3217. >You would dare say it were barren!
  3218. >Gliding across the small room, you stealthily make your way to the lump in the covers
  3219. >A small push of your hoof causes Anon to groan lightly
  3220. >You whisper to the bed quickly
  3221. "Anon... are you awake?"
  3222. >There is no immediate reply, so you tug his blankets with a bit of magic
  3223. >The quilts fall to one side and expose a human leg
  3224. >It is oddly muscular and strangely proportioned, yet something about it makes you want to touch it
  3225. >You look over Anon's leg one more time before slowly reaching a hoof out and pressing against him
  3226. >It's softer than you would expect, though you don't know why you think Anon would be made of stone
  3227. >The though makes you chuckle a bit before Anon's leg twitches
  3228. >Your hoof retracts in time for him to roll over and cast the remaining bit of blanket from himself
  3229. >For the moment, Anon's body is exposed to you and you shield your eyes
  3230. >A curiosity takes hold of you and you cannot stop yourself from peaking
  3231. >Before you lies the form of the human know as Anonymous
  3232. >You've never seen a human without its clothes on before
  3233. >This could be some kind of biology lesson and any lesson is a good lesson!
  3234. >Anonymous' body is oddly built with muscle and scar tissue
  3235. >You see a large puncture wound in his abdominal area and wonder if it is normal for humans to survive something like that
  3236. >These scars look very old and you consider they must have been made during the Dragon Wars
  3237. >It is amazing to think that Anon would stare down dragons in his time and even risk being impaled
  3238. >You are glad the world today is much more peaceful
  3239. >As you enjoy measuring and cataloging scars, your eyes work their way down a bit and see Anon's maleness
  3240. >A hushed tone of sheer scientific inquiry escapes you
  3241. "He probably wouldn't mind me looking... it's for my studies after all..."
  3242. >His flesh is mostly hairless, save for choice parts, and the shape is fairly reasonable
  3243. >You have never been this close to a real life example of male parts, though your years of studying have given you ample reference
  3244. >With bated breath, you slowly take hold of Anon's member in your magic
  3245. >It should, if you have read correctly, expand if stimulated and this is as good a chance as any to see the truth in this matter
  3246. >You swallow a dry lump in your throat as you move extremely carefully against the smooth skin
  3247. >Anonymous mumbles something, but you are sure he is still in his own dream world
  3248. >The effort pays off in no time at all as Anon stands firm in your magical grip with the most textbook example of an erection you have ever seen
  3249. >You are fairly pleased, both with Anon's cooperation and at your own skill
  3250. >In this new state, this erect state, Anonymous measures a simple seven inches long and about an inch and one-half in diameter
  3251. >Not entirely impressive by pony standards, but you consider the results skewed if you had to place different species against each other
  3252. >In your calculated daydream, you fail to notice Anon's abdominal muscles stir
  3253. >"M'lady? Dost thou come upon wings in the night..."
  3254. >His eyes narrow as he focuses on you
  3255. >Too frightened to run, you stand before Anon with your jaw clenching tightly
  3256. "Oh... h-hey, Anon... funny story..."
  3257. >"Twilight... Sparkle? What endeavor dost thou wish to make herein?"
  3258. "Endeavor? Oh, no no no! You got it all wrong. This was for study!"
  3259. >For some unknown reason, you do not let your magic fade from Anon as he stares into your eyes
  3260. >"'Tis a most interesting study... We wish no charity from thee, however!"
  3261. >His voice rings in your head as it lifts a bit
  3262. "I-I was going to wake you up so we could go see how the decorations were coming. You know? For Nightmare Night?"
  3263. >"Commendable... how did this event transpire?"
  3264. "Well, you see..."
  3265. >A hand reaches out and flicks your horn quickly
  3266. >Your magic wanes as the strike resonates into your head and you lose your concentration
  3267. >"Thank thee for such a kind awakening. Thou would find it less arduous with a simple pale of water..."
  3268. >What does a pony say at a time like this?
  3269. >What do you do to take the sting of this embarrassment away?
  3270. "It feels like you'd be an excellent specimen for breeding."
  3271. >Your words echo back into your own ears as they fall from your mouth like so much gravel
  3272. >"We... we think it best to be left to dress in peace..."
  3273. >He looks at you quickly and then to the door
  3274. >You feel your face flush with humiliation as you gallop for the hallway and slam the door behind you
  3275. "Stupid, stupid, stupid! What are you thinking! Are you crazy?!"
  3276. >You mutter loudly to yourself as you pace back and forth
  3277. >It isn't long before Anonymous steps out of his room and looks over to you
  3278. >"We are ready... art thou?"
  3279. "Y-yeah, lets head to the station..."
  3280. >With crimson red cheeks, you lead Anonymous through the halls and out the main entrance
  3281. >Stepping out into the cool night helps to relieve your burning face
  3282. "Alright, OK... so, lets head over to the station. Trains will only run twice at night."
  3283. >"'Tis not too far a trip. The sun shines still in the lower heavens, we should find ourselves in good time."
  3284. >You worry about Anon's ability to keep coherent for the ponies back in Ponyville
  3285. >There's only one way to find out
  3286. >As you arrive at the train station, you begin your drill
  3287. "Alright, Anonymous, lets practice what you've been studying since you have been with Princess Luna."
  3288. >He looks to you with a hint of amusement on his face before smiling
  3289. >"Dearest Twilight, I would be happy to take up your offer."
  3290. "Excellent, now, how was your day?"
  3291. >"T'was a fine day, indeed."
  3292. "Alright, not bad. I'll let you slide with that, 't'was' this time."
  3293. >"M'lady Sparkle is all too kind to me..."
  3294. >He smirks and reclines on the small bench while staring off into space
  3295. >You try to follow his gaze through the darkening sky until you see the faintest glimmer of the moon on the horizon
  3296. >As if by some unforeseen magic, he matches the moon's rise perfectly and you find yourself wondering about Anon for the first time
  3297. "Anonymous, you wouldn't mind if I ask you more personal questions, would you?"
  3298. >"An interesting question per se... What would you care to learn?"
  3299. "I noticed you had a large scar on your abdominal section, right lower quadrant, how did that happen?"
  3300. >"Ah, magnificent night that was! I had been sent to collect intelligence on an enemy masquerading as a follower at the Temple of the Moon. Dragon magic is rather potent, but dragon claws strike harsher blows."
  3301. >You listen carefully, grinding each phrase down into meaning
  3302. >"The wound you saw was a grievous one and I would surely be dead this day if not for an associate's quick medical knowledge. Both our Princesses were proud of we two who had braved the beast and lived..."
  3303. >His head tilts completely back as he stares at the moon
  3304. >A sudden silence takes hold of the platform as Anonymous looks towards the unblinking eye of his Princess
  3305. "You really like Luna, don't you?"
  3306. >"Like? A careless word, it is. What is it to owe your life to another? In all things I have done, my dearest princess has returned ten-fold to me. Never could my debt be sated if I had a hundred lives to give."
  3307. >Anonymous' eyes return to you and his stoic smile parts his face with a bit of determination
  3308. >"But, I ramble... how have you been, student of the Sun?"
  3309. >You chuckle at the title softly
  3310. "Oh, nothing really exciting. I finished my Nightmare Night costume! I'm going as Starswirl the Bearded."
  3311. >"Forgive my ignorance, but why would you dress as a stallion? Furthermore, why would you dress a stallion so profoundly cantankerous that no single being would choose to stand beside him if they did not absolutely have too?"
  3312. >A smile parts your face as Anon speaks and you press him quickly for information
  3313. "You knew Starswirl? -The- Starswirl?"
  3314. >"Yes, he was an angry fool when I knew of him. Always ranting about incompetence and how he had to work with such foolish ponies..."
  3315. >Your heart sinks a bit at this revelation
  3316. >Who would have thought that such a powerful and noteworthy pony would be so difficult to work with!
  3317. >Anonymous looks you over for the moment before crossing his arms over his chest
  3318. >"Well, I mean... that is only what I had -heard-. Maybe he was truly a kind pony..."
  3319. >He turns his face from you and you get a feeling that he's not being entirely honest
  3320. >You feel as if Anonymous does not think you can handle such news, but you are too educated to simply write off somep0ny without first getting to know them
  3321. >Another question pops into your head as the sound of a loud whistle drowns out your voice
  3322. >The train finally arrives and Anonymous is the first to reach the doors
  3323. >You trail slightly behind him as the doors open and a few passenger step off
  3324. >"From the glint in your young eyes, I can sense you have more questions for me?"
  3325. >You nod as you board the train and try to look at mature as you can
  3326. "I do and don't think you have to spare details or hide facts that would hurt my feelings. I am a big pony and I can handle the truth."
  3327. >You beam with purpose as you sit beside Anon
  3328. >He sighs lightly and places a hand to his head
  3329. >"We do not believe thou should be made to bear such burdens. If thou would truly wish to know, however..."
  3330. >You feel a warm something run from your head to your shoulders and look over to Anonymous
  3331. "Um, excuse me, Anon! P-personal space, remember?"
  3332. >"Ah, yes, we remember, yet find it flawed in practice. It was not we who did so invade the bed chamber..."
  3333. >He smiles widely to you now as his hand pets you again
  3334. >The feeling isn't bad, but you're just not use to having other ponies, or humans for that matter, touching you like this
  3335. >"We have a tale of a younger Princess of the Sun and her first attempt at swimming... if it would please m'lady?"
  3336. >You look up to him for the moment
  3337. "I bet the Princess was an excellent swimmer..."
  3338. >He strokes down your mane once more with a toothy grin on his face
  3339. >"Dearest Twilight, 'tis a fool's bet indeed."
  3340. >Anon begins his story and you lay against the bench
  3341. >You are lucky, you think, to have a first-hoof account of the past, even if it does show just how normal ponies of legend truly are
