MLP - The Gathering of Magic
Ch 23 - Knights and Chivalry
PLAY: Departure - Hunter X Hunter Opening
(The music slowly starts to build as the sun starts rising over the lands of Equestria.)
Stepping firmly on the ground,
(In a grassy land, A male bends as he stretches.)
You are awakening,
(The camera moves as it reveals Alan looking up at the sky with a bright smile on his face.)
With the smile of an angel,
(Alan pulls his book out as it opens with different symbols flying out.)
Take me away!
(Camera moves back as different monsters were summoned as they ran or flew away. The title "MLP: The Gathering of Magic" Appears we the elements of harmony flashed in appearance with the book at the top center.)
You are not alone, even in solitude,
(Rainbow Dash flies through the skies with a rainbow streak until landing at the library with the other mane six as they cheered and waved with the six elements of harmony floating above them while glowing.)
There is definitely a reason as to why we are born.
(The camera moves as Luna, Celestia, Cadence and Shining come to scene as they smiled. The sun comes to the left and the moon comes to the right with a crystal heart floating down from the center.)
You can smile again! Bathing in the sun!
(Scootaloo is seen skating on a skateboard until skidding to the CMC clubhouse with AB crafting something and Sweetie belle singing a song before they face the camera and throw a fist up with their CMC logo appearing above them.)
You can fly away!
(Alan and the mane six are seen running through the grassy fields as the sun started setting.)
The world is awaiting your brilliance!
(The scene is next with five beings in cloaks that held smiles until moving to a dark void with the camera passing a shadow being that smirked before red eyes opened up, radiating with dark energy.)
Stepping firmly on the ground,
(Twilight fires a magical beam as Rainbow flies over and does a sonic Rainboom and vanishes in the sky.)
You are awakening,
(Applejack kicks a tree with apples falling while Rarity uses her magic and levitates different varieties of crystals and gems.)
With the smile of an angel,
(Pinkie fires her party cannon with confetti flying while Fluttershy holds a few woolen animals with a smile.)
Take me away! (You can smile!)
(Celestia and Luna radiate the sun and moon's light with gold and blue aura flowing until they faced the camera with a smile.)
It is never too late for a new "Beginning"!
(The scene changes with Alan kneeling, and bruised while holding his arm. The seven cloaked beings stood by his side with different colored aura flowing around them. Alan glares up at his opponent in shadows as it smirks and motions a hand at him and his allies.)
No matter what happens, keep getting back up!
(Alan rises as his book floats in front of him and opens, blasting energy around and explodes. The scene turns to Alan opening his eyes and smiles bright before throwing a fist into the air as his friends around him cheer. The title appears over with the elements and the book until the screen fades into darkness.)
Morning came once more to the land of Equestria. I had passed out on the couch down stairs with Twilight's brother. My talk with Shining seemed To go decently enough. At least he didn't seem as mad as before, thank god. I'd hate to make him mad again.
Anyway, during our chat I had asked him about the offer he made to train me with weapons. Due to the craziness with my collosus, I never got to actually train. I may have been able to cut down the Everfree forest plants, but in an actual fight against another person I'd look like an ameture. I had gotten up early to make everyone breakfast as the smell of waffles and eggs wafted through Twi's home. "Can't wait to finally learn how to fight." I smiled to myself. "As long as nothing crazy happens, this should be fine."
As I was putting the food on the plates, I heard a yawn and turned. Twilight and Cadence entered the kitchen, both had ruffled manes and slight blushes. "Good morning ladies." I greeted them with a smile.
"Morning, Alan." Twi breathed while sniffing the air.
Cadence sniffed as well before moaning. "Mmmmmm, breakfast smells wonderful."
"Hehe, I hope everyone likes it. Been a while since I did any cooking alone." I scratched my cheek with a chuckle.
"A little rusty?" Twi giggled before planting a kiss on my cheek.
"A bit…" I replied softly. "I still feel ashamed for leaving you all and making you all cry for me…"
"Alan," Twi spoke firmly as she turned me towards her face. "We've already put that behind us. You're here now and that's all that matters. You belong here with us."
I sighed and embraced her. "You're right...I'm sorry." The mare giggled and planted a kiss on my cheek. "Alright, now enjoy your breakfast before it gets cold." The two nodded before sitting down and started eating. Shining came in a moment later. I gave him his plate of food before I too joined them at the table. "So what's your agendas today?"
"We actually had this weekend off and were planning on staying with Twi." Cadence explained. "What about you two?"
"Well, Shining did tell me last night he would train me how to use weapons." I explained as I took a bite of my eggs.
Twi blinked. "So you're going to learn how to fight?"
"That is the idea, egghead." I teased. Cadence and Shining couldn't help but laugh at my joke as they knew why. Twilight ate her breakfast as she glared playfully.
"You sly human." She spoke.
I chuckled. "I try."
Cadence took a sip of tea as an idea popped into her head. "If he's going to teach you, you might be able to become a knight of the castle."
I nearly choked on my eggs before swallowing hard and coughed. "Uh...c-come again? I thought you said you want me to be a knight in the castle army..."
The pink alicorn shrugged. "You're getting the training, you've shown you want to protect our home, plus you have the favor of the princesses already. It's not a bad idea."
I thought about it for a moment. It did sound promising, but one thing was stopping me. "Just hope I don't have to encounter Blueballs or be his own guard."
Twi dipped her head slightly. "I don't think you need to worry about that anymore." When the mare saw my confusion, she continued. "Right after you left, Derpy revealed to everyone what Blueblood had done to her. Princess Celestia stripped him of his title of prince and locked him in the dungeon for life."
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. After all the shit he's done, to me, Derpy and the others, I couldn't be happier. "Well, serves him right if you ask me. It's a relief we don't have to worry about his ass ever again."
"Celestia had a rough time accepting that her nephew actually did that. It hurt her to have to punish him. She blames herself for not making sure he behaved like a proper stallion." Shining sighed.
"I can understand that. He was family to her." I sighed in agreement. "But whether or not Celestia was supposed to watch over him, he should have made better choices on his own than become a spoiled brat." The others nodded while we finished our breakfast. I cleared the dishes and whipped my cloak over my shoulders. "Shall we go, Shining?"
"Yes." The stallion nodded as we got up and gathered our gear. We said our goodbyes to the mares before leaving the library. Perhaps I imagined it, but I could have sworn I heard the mares giggling before a small spark of magic filled the windows and the curtains closed.
I gazed back at the library and arched a brow to Shining. "What was that all about?"
The captain of the guard shrugged. "Girls." I nodded in agreement before we went into the valley to have the space for us to train.
"Okay, so how are we gonna do this?" I asked while I chained my kunai on my wrists.
The stallion smirked before standing a few paces in front of me with his hands crossed behind him. "Go on, try to hit me."
I blinked in surprise from his answer. "Uh...but you're not armed with anything."
"I gave you an order, soldier. Now, try to hit me." He spoke with his smug grin.
My gaze hardened as I slowly swung my blade by its chain. "If you say so…" With that, I hurled my weapon towards him. Shining chuckled before sidestepping the attack at the last possible second. I tossed my other kunai at him, but he side stepped again. His hands gripped both chains and yanked me forward before his foot hit my chest and knocked me to the ground.
"You're throwing your weapons sloppily. You're not aiming clearly on where you want to throw them." He spoke before helping me up. "You need to use your weapons flexibility and maneuverability as your strength rather than your weakness. Find ways to use the chains on those throwing swords to give your opponent a disadvantage."
I nodded and took a fighting stance. Once more I attacked while trying to aim for his feet. Shining laughed as he jumped up causing the kunia to pierce the ground. He landed on the chain with all his weight which yanked my forward onto my stomach. "Your eyes gave your attack away. If you don't keep them focused on your opponent they'll be able to predict your every move."
I sighed as I sat up and leaned back. "This is more difficult than I imagined…"
"That's why you need to learn how to rely on skills and weapons. If you focus too much on your book and magic it will unbalance your abilities. There will be times you will need to fight without it's aid." The stallion explained.
I gave a slight groan and stood up. "I never was one to stay in shape...this is gonna be rough."
"Yeah," Shining nodded. "I also noticed your body is not in the best physical condition for combat. If I'm being honest, you'd probably be dead in minutes without magic."
His comment made me grit my teeth. It was true, but it still hurt to hear. I pulled back a blade and hurled it once more. "Still predictable." Shining replied as he leaned to the side. My kunia missed...but I grinned, making Shining arch a brow. "Huh?" I flicked my other wrist as my second blade which was still on the ground bounced up and looped around his ankle. With a sharp pull, he fell back on his rear. With him distracted, I whipped my other kunai back and chucked it at him before the blade coiled around him.
"Am I predictable now?" iI asked with a grin.
The stallion chuckled. "Not bad, human. Perhaps there is hope for you as a fighter." After untying him, Shining unsheathed his sword and shield. "Alright then, let's get serious." He charged forward with his shield out front. I cannot overstate how much I detest close quarters combat. It puts me at a disadvantage. I tossed my kunai at him again, but he whacked them back with his shield. Now that my blades were dealt with, he closed on me and took an easy swing at me. With no time to dodge, the side of his blade slammed into my torso like a pickup truck.
A yelp of pain escaped my throat as the impact caused me to fall to the ground. I clutched my chest where he hit me. "Fuck that hurt like a bitch." Next to me, my book began glowing red again. Seeing this happen I grabbed the book and held it closed. Unfortunately, I failed to prevent it from bursting open as it began spewing many different weapons on to the ground. They ranged from bows, to swords, and even maces.
Shining lowered his blade before sighing. "Alan, I thought we went over this."
"It wasn't me." I protested. "The book did that on its own."
The stallion blinked. "It...did all this on its own?"
I nodded. "That was how the giant metal creature that wrecked Ponyville appeared. The book sensed a mixture of my emotions and desires before summoning something that it knew could accomplish what I wanted."
"Hmmmm…" Shining pondered while cupping his chin. "So your book kinda has a mind of its own…" He approached and picked the book up carefully. On cue, it snapped shut just like it did for everyone else. "A defense mechanism. Interesting...Alan, mind if I try a few tests with it?"
My brows arched in confusion. "Errrr...I guess, just don't break it."
"We shall see." Shining replied before looking out the valley. "If I'm correct on this, then maybe your training might be more efficient." I grew curious about this before he hovered the book in the air with his magic and literally flung it into the air like a bullet fired from a gun. The silver covered object flew several meters before screeching to a halt. Afterwards, it sped back to my side where it hovered. "So no matter what, whoever holds this book or how far you are, your book always comes back…" The male pony pondered.
"The only time it didn't work was during the heat season when the mares first grabbed me." I noted.
"Hmmm...did they coat your book with magic when they took it?" Shining questioned.
"I...honestly don't know. Was kinda busy trying not to get raped." I answered. Shining pondered again before he picked my book up and coated it with a magical seal. He tossed the book again, but not too far this time, only a few dozen feet. This time the book bounced to a stop on the ground. However, as it remained coated in the seal we watched it bounce and jolt ever so slightly from where it sat.
"Looks like my theory was correct. Your book is affected by the magic we have." Shining spoke. "When it's coated with any magic other than itself, it won't be able to return to you until the seal is broken." On a hunch, I held my hand out and focused on the book. The jolts became more violent as it tried to skid closer. That's when we noticed cracks starting to form inside the seal. I focused harder before the seal was shattered like glass. Through the chaos, my book flew into my hand. Shining blinked in surprise. "Amazing, even with a seal to slow it down, it still came back to you. It's like you have a bond with your book."
"Twi had a similar hunch." I replied as I showed him the gear cog tattoo on my left hand. "The same symbol is on the cover. She believes that the fact that I'm the only one who bears this mark is the reason only I can use it."
The stallion nodded before thinking. "Yet it would be dangerous if anypony would try to make a replica of the mark to use the book...or try to take it from you." A shrug was the only answer I could give. "Alan, I want to give a warning: make sure you don't tell anypony you don't trust about the mark. If what you say is true, they will try to take your mark, and the powers in your book will fall into the wrong hands."
His words echoed in my head. "...there's just one problem with that idea. Do you know what mana is?"
Shining nodded. "Mana is the pool of energy that lies in everything."
"Correct, it exists in everything from blades of grass to drops of water. I've seen your kind cast spells and I noticed something. The mana you use comes from within you. That is a very limited pool of energy. The spells in the book require the wielder to be able to draw mana from the world around them." I held out my hand as a few orbs of silver light seeped out of the land and orbited each other in my palm.
The stallion nodded. "So you don't need to use your own mana in order to use your spells. You can just use the world's mana to do it. An interesting concept." An idea popped before grinning. "Alan, have you ever tried using your own mana in your spells?"
A dumbfounded expression covered my face. "...no."
A chuckle escaped his throat. "You've already seen how the mana of the planet around you can do many amazing things. But, what if you try using your own mana? Think about it, you might be able to unlock new power and abilities that can step up your game in combat."
I'm not gonna lie, that idea made me giddy on the inside. I could have some form of super power if this turns out to be true. "Alright, but how do I use my mana?"
Shining smiled. "Using your mana is not like taking the energy from the planet. First, you must look deep into yourself. Then, focus where in your body your mana is most powerful at. Finally, harness that energy, and channel it straight to your hands."
Giving a nod, and closed my eyes. My thoughts turned blank while I attempted to locate my inner source of mana. Time seemed to lose all meaning, I could only guess how long I sifted through my very very soul. Tick...tick...tick...what is that? Tick...tick...tick...is that a clock? A vague image appeared in the center of my vision. It was some kind of box with every inch covered in gears. Each cog spun at its own speed while interlocking with the others.
My gut screamed at me to say this was the power I was searching for. Curious, I slowly reached out to the gearbox before my hands gently grabbed it. The box gave a sharp whistle as the gears began to speed up. The next second, they stopped spinning completely. A few more clicks were heard until the gears in the middle of the box shifted and revealed a hole leading to the core. Before I could investigate a cloud of purple sparkling energy flooded out and blinded me.
My eyes snapped open as I breathed deeply. "W...what the…?"
Shining chuckled with a grin. "Look at your hands." I glanced down to find both of them glowing with a purple aura that was wispy like flames. "Congratulations, Alan. You've unlocked your mana."
"Ok, but what am I supposed to use it on? Not to mention I still need to figure out why my book spat out all these weapons." I pointed to the mass of equipment. The second my finger extended to the artifact heap, the aura from my hand shot out and hit the pile. The weapons shuddered before glowing in the same purple aura, shot into the air and hovered. "Uhhhh…" I blinked.
Shining chuckled. "I think you just found your answers." My hands waved through the air causing the weapons to follow along. Every twitch caused them to change direction. I glanced to a tree to our right and my weapons swirled around as they hacked, slashed, and stabbed into the plant. "Fascinating," Shining grinned as he watched. "By a simple glance and movement to your eyes or hands, you can command the weapons you have engulfed in that aura."
"This is pretty awesome." I chuckled. Still, it felt like I was missing something. Next to me I saw a wilted bush. When my hand brushed against it, some of the weapons flew to it as my aura flooded the plant. Seconds later the plant shifted as its branches twisted together forming a miniaturized body. The artifacts nearby hovered in the bush while some of the branches coiled around them and incorporated them inside.
"Huh, that's a new one." Shining mentioned with a curious tone. A single orb of purple remained in the center of the being's chest as it stood up at my height and moved around. The creature had taken some of the metal from the artifacts and used it for armor while it had a sword and an axe blade instead of hands. "Hmmm, if I'm guessing correctly, you might have a second ability that allows you to create bodies to hold your weapons and fight for you." The stallion pondered.
"I guess so." I answered.
"Hmmm, try having it fight me." He stated while raising his sword and shield.
Looking at my creation I gave a sigh. "How am I supposed to control this thing and have it fight him?" The creature must've heard my thoughts because it veered to face Shining and took a fighting stance. The next moment, it charged forward as it started thrashing wildly against the stallion like a berserker. Shining started blocking and fighting back against the creature. So my mind was my key to controlling these things. Interesting. I gave it another command as it ducked his next attack and swept its leg under Shining. The stallion grunted when his feet were knocked out from under him. With the captain laying prone, my creature pointed its sword directly at his chest as it remained motionless.
"Heh, not too shabby, Alan." Shining chuckled. "It seems you can use your mind to control them. Not a bad thing in case you need to do a surprise attack." I nodded and helped him to his feet. "I think that's enough training for one day. We'll pick this up later."
"Alright." I nodded as we started walking back to the library.
While we walked Shining spoke one more time. "So about what my wife mentioned as far as you becoming a knight, you interested?"
I thought for a moment before I smiled a bit. "I guess it can't hurt. Besides, if I want to be able to protect the others, I need to learn whatever I can."
"Great, I'll have a chat with the princesses when I get back to Canterlot." He gave me a grin. "This means I'm going to be your boss."
"I look forward to learning from you." I chuckled while pulling my phone out to text Twilight. "Hey Twi. Shining and I are coming back from our training."
"Ok, I'm a little busy at the moment. Why don't you go to Rarity or Pinkie. They haven't had much time with you alone." My marefriend texted back.
I gave a grin and chuckle. "But I thought you wanted to watch me today. Am I not good enough? :P"
"I never said that!" She messaged.
I chuckled. "Relax, egghead. I'm just teasing ya. I'll drop by and see Rarity. Hope you and Cadence are having a good time together."
Her next response surprised me. "I'm going to get you back for teasing me, Cadence will help me.;-)"
"That was...strange." Bidding Shining farwell, I quickly made my way to the bouquet and knocked at Rarity's door. "Rarity, you home?"
The door opened as I saw Rarity in a new fancy outfit. "Alan, it's been too long, dear." She smiled before pulling me into her embrace.
"Same here." I smiled and hugged her back. "Still elegant and gorgeous as usual."
The white unicorn blushed with her long eyelashes batting at me. "You're too kind to me. What brings you down here, darling?"
"Twilight is busy so she told me to come visit you." I explained. "I just finished training with Shining and I'm planning to enlist as a knight."
The mare's jaw dropped. "You're going to be a knight?"
"I guess you can say that." I chuckled sheepishly with a small blush.
"Oh that's lovely, darling, my own knight in shining armor." She sighed with a dreamy smile.
I chuckled. "And you expect me to sweep you off your feet?" Rarity flushed a bit before nodding shyly. "Weeeeeell..." I decided to humor her and quickly lifted her up, bridal style. "Wish granted." Her face darkened with red as her arms instinctively wrapped around my neck. "You know, Rarity, we never got to spend much time together...do you want to...go out with me?" I asked while blushing myself.
"You're...asking me out?" She squealed happily. "Yes, I would love to go out on a date with you."
I smiled at her response. "Good. So I was thinking...maybe we go dancing, maybe to a nice restaurant, and perhaps I can give you a relaxing massage afterwards…" The unicorn nodded happily as I set her back down.
"Just let me change and lock up, then we can go." Rarity smiled. I nodded in reply before she went into her home and changed. After a few minutes she finally returned...and my jaw dropped. She wore an elegant black dress that hugged her gorgeous hourglass body. The top showed a small sight of her cleavage and her arms were clad in large black gloves that went to her shoulders. To top it off, the mare donned diamond earrings and a pearl necklace.
"...wow…" I breathed.
"You like?" She cooed and gave an elegant spin. My brain went on autopilot as I nodded my head.
Since Rarity seemed to be a classy mare, I decided to test if she knows french. "Tu as l'air à couper le souffle, ma dame." It's translated as, "you look breathtaking, my lady".
The mare's eyes widened with glee as she smiled. "Merci, monsieur Alan. J'adore avancer dans notre nuit pleine d'amour ensemble." Which is translated to, "Thank you, sir Alan. I look forward to our love filled night together".
I chuckled before holding out my arm to her. "Shall we, ma dame?"
Rarity giggled before linking her arm to mine tightly. "After you." I guided her across the town before we found a nice club for us to dance in. We entered and there were ponies on the dance floor, and music in the air.
"I'm sorry if this is not like Canterlot." I apologized with a small, sad smile.
The classy unicorn leaned in and pecked my cheek. "As long as it's with you, it makes no difference to me." I smiled from her reply before we both walked on the dance floor. The tempo changed as it began playing music for a new dance.
I gave Rarity a smile. "Do you dance the Cha Cha?"
Rarity smirked back. "Darling, I know every type of dancing." I chuckled as we made our way to the center of the dance floor. We waited for the beat to hit the right spot and joined in. Our shoes clicked on the floor before Rarity spun into my arm close to me then back out. The mare stayed nearby me as my hands softly roamed her skin. We dipped our bodies, bending our knees before rising again. Rarity spun herself in my hands and grinned at me. Our motions were fluid and in unison despite never practicing together once.
"You sure are graceful, Rares." I whispered in her ear when she was close to me again.
"Well, a lady must always give off beauty and passion." She cooed back. By now, a few of the other couples dancing had stopped to watch the pair of us in awe. The slow motion of our dancing soon became sharp and quick as we spun and darted our bodies left and right. The song progressed before we were completely circled by other ponies. Each one watching with heart felt anxiety. Pretty soon our dancing came to an end on a solid note when I pulled Rarity against my chest. Our heads pressed together while we breathed heavily. Applause and cheers broke out around us as we blushed and focused on one another.
"You never cease to amaze me, ma dame Rarity." I cooed.
"As do you, monsieur Alan." She breathed before leaning closer and pressed her lips softly to mine. A soft moan escaped my throat as I kissed her back. Pretty soon, the music changed once more, but this one was more energetic, causing the other ponies to dance around and against each other. Rarity smiled at me before gripping my hand as she broke the kiss and pulled me to the crowd. The mare was moving to the music beat as she was pressed up against me. I can't argue this was an interesting feeling. I could only sigh softly as my hands gently held her hips. This made the unicorn flush a bit before winking at me.
"I didn't know you were frisky too." I spoke softly in her ear.
"Darling, that's because we're so close. You mean everything to me." She whispered back.
"Well, you mean everything to me." I smiled and kissed her neck softly. "Whatever you do, I will always be happy." The unicorn flushed with a giggle as we continued dancing.
The night went on until we finally had our fill of dancing and decided to move on. With Rarity hugging my arm, we embarked to a fancy restaurant. We walked inside...ok scratch that, very fancy. The inside was carved from marble with a brilliant red carpet on the floor. Golden chandeliers hung from the ceiling as each table also had a small candle.
The two of us took a seat and waited for our waiter. "I never dined in a fancy place like this before." I spoke up.
Rarity gave me a bright white smile. "The atmosphere here is simply divine and the food is marvelous. Plus, they happen to sell my favorite wine."
"And I'm happy to experience this with you." I spoke and gently took her hands in mine. Her cheeks tinted pink as she leaned across the table and gave me a light kiss.
Our waiter came by as we ordered our food. We decided to share their special. Creamy basil alfredo spaghetti. Before he left, the stallion revealed a bottle of wine he had brought. "For you miss Rarity, your wine." He spoke with a french accent.
"Why thank you." The unicorn smiled as she took the wine bottle. He gave a polite bow and left us be.
I gently gripped the bottle and Rarity's glass. "Allow me." She gave a delightful giggle as I uncorked the wine, poured her a perfect amount and held it out for her. She waited for me to pour my own and set the bottle down. Slowly, I raised my glass to hers and clinked them. "To our first date." I smiled. The mare giggled before we took a sip of our wine. Already my taste buds burst with flavor. I did sample wine a few times back home, but this was a whole new level of experience. "Whoa...no wonder why you love this wine." I spoke in amazement.
Rarity set her glass down as she turned to me. "Darling, may I ask you a few questions?"
I gave a chuckle as I set my glass down. "We are dating, and conversation is a good way for us to bond. Ask away."
"Lovely, hmmmm, how about...have you ever had an eye on someone back home before you came to Equestria?" She questioned.
"I did technically have one girlfriend back when I was in highschool, but it only lasted a few weeks and didn't become serious." I answered. "Could've sworn I told you mares about her during the slumber party."
"Well, that is her loss then. No girl from your world could ever appreciate the proper man you are. I should know." She smiled lovingly while batting her eyelashes.
Giving a chuckle I smiled. "Okay, my turn. Have you had your eye on another pony before you tried to shoot for...you know who." I didn't feel comfortable even speaking his real name, not after everything he did.
The mare sighed softly. "To be honest, no. It felt like he was going to be my first love and then it didn't come true."
I frowned slightly before caressing her hand. "I'm sorry, Rarity. Sometimes when you believe someone is perfect for you, it can cloud your mind from realizing what they really are. As the saying goes, "Don't judge a book by its cover". Besides, he doesn't deserve an elegant mare like you."
Her cheeks became a lovely rosey pink. "Thank you, Alan, may I ask you another?" I nodded to her. "Do you...miss your family?"
That question caught me off guard. I had been so busy trying to accept and live my new life that I hardly thought of my old home. "I…" I stammered as I felt something running slowly down my face. Rarity cupped my cheek and wiped the stray tear. "I do miss them. They had been with me through everything in the past. They meant everything to me."
The mare nodded. "I'm sure sometime in the future, we'll all help you find a way back to your home. Family is important, and I'm sure your parents are worried sick about you."
I was about to agree before my expression darkened. "...they probably believe I am dead…" Rarity blinked in surprise, but then remembered about what happened to me when I told the others about the accident.
"Oh….they don't know you're alive." She breathed. "I know they still love you and wish to bring you back."
"I've been gone for so long, that the others in my world have most likely decided that it was no use looking for me. And on top of that...humans can't use and don't believe in magic. If I were to show up now, they wouldn't accept it as real." I mentioned.
Rarity cupped my cheek again as I gazed into her beautiful blue eyes. "But that doesn't mean you have to stop remembering those you love and care for. Even though they're not with you anymore, they'll be here." She gently poked my chest to where my heart was.
My fingers wrapped around her hand as I smiled. "I know they will. Just like you girls." The mare smiled and pecked my lips. Soon after, our waiter came back with our food in hand. Already the aroma of the pasta was filling my nostrils. "Wow, that smells good." We each grabbed our forks and dug in. How did they ever make this pasta...it was amazing. This put professional Italian pasta makers, people of my heritage, to shame. As we took another bite, we slowly slurped on a noodle. This caused me to grin for one reason: we both had a hold of the same one. Before the mare could respond I slurped my end quickly until my lips pressed to hers.
Rarity flushed a lovely rose color. I bet this never happened to her before, but I could tell she adored this. Her arms wrapped around my neck and deepened our kiss. It was a magical moment for just the pair of us. Pulling back from the kiss, I stroked her silky purple mane and smiled. "Je ne peux pas avoir assez de toi, mon amour." I spoke in my french tone, which I said, 'I can't get enough of you, my love'.
Rarity cooed. "Tu es ma seule et unique." Which translated to. "You are my one and only."
I chuckled lightly as my hand slid down to her hip. "Allons-nous chez vous?" Which means, "Shall we go to your place?" The mare nodded and called over the waiter. We paid our check while we got our food and wine packaged to go. The destination we had in mind was her home. When we arrived, Rarity put the food in the fridge and grabbed two wine glasses on the way up to her room. When we entered, the mare took a moment to lock the door and set down the liquor supplies. After that, we embraced tightly and engaged in another deep make out session.
We fell back on her bed as Rarity ran her fingers through my hair. Moaning softly, my hands slid across her waist and hips, down to her beautiful furry legs. The mare shuddered by my touch and moaned. "Care for a heavenly massage, my goddess?~" I purred and kissed her neck.
Rarity bit her lip as she pulled herself off the bed. "I'll be right back." She spoke with a dark blush. With that she moved to her closet and disappeared. While I sat there waiting, I couldn't help but be curious about what she was planning. A moment later, the mare emerged from the closet...and once more, my mouth hung open. My face went all red and I felt steam coming out of my ears and nose. She was wearing the same black lingerie that I saw on her hanger several weeks back.
"...oh my Goddess…" I breathed in awe and a hint of desire as my eyes drank her gorgeous and sexy figure.
Rarity giggled with a dark blush. "So you like it?~" I could only nod slowly in reply. She smiled as she crawled back on the bed and leaned over me. "Now then, let's make this more...romantic.~" Her horn lit up before the lights went off and we were shrouded in darkness. The room was relit with dozens of candles, rose petals scattered all over the room and bed, and her radio played erotic music.
My blush darkened as I smiled. "Classic and sexy. You'd think by now I'd expect nothing less from you.~"
Rarity smiled warmly before easing herself onto my lap. She leaned forward as our lips again made contact. My throat rumbled a moan before my hands slid up her body until they landed on her luscious rear and squeezed it lovingly. The mare purred and shifted her weight on top of me. Watching her, her E-cup breasts bounced a bit in her lacy black bra.
After a few minutes, she pulled back with half lidded eyes. The mare hummed as her hands reached back to unhook the cloth imprisoning her bust. I watched them bounce free while the bra landed on my face. My cheeks burned, but I smiled and licked my lips out of reflex.
She cooed. "Let them please you, my love.~". With a loving grin, I gently pushed my hips up and grazed my crotch against hers. Rarity sucked in a breath before pulling my head deep between her breasts. The slow erotic music on the radio fueled our desires. I groped one of her tits hard, but gently fondled it and latched to her other and suckled. My teeth grazed her dark grey nipple as my tongue traced her sensitive skin. The unicorn was moaning non-stop as her hips began rocking slowly and deeply on my crotch.
"Mmmmmmm.~" I moaned by the delicious friction. All the while, my bulge grew. I returned the favor as my free hand slid down as my three fingers pressed to her three diamond cutie marks and kneaded them like dough. To my surprise she let out a loud gasp before pressing down hard against me. My hand fondling her breast left to slowly slither down her slim but toned stomach. Seconds later, it ever so slowly slipped into her panties until and caressed her soaked pussy. The mare bit her lip more until I felt my clothes literally ripped off me by her magic. Having me completely naked before her, she smiled and shimmied out of her panties.
I chuckled. "You sure are impatient.~"
"I've been longing for this moment with you, my darling.~" She cooed as she pushed me back down against the bed.
"I have as well.~" I cooed. "Come to me, my goddess. Let us become one in our desires, our love, our passion.~" Rarity's eyes sparkled as she moved her waist over my crotch and pressed down. I felt her pussy grinding my hardened shaft. I groaned loudly before my hands gripped her ass again. She purred loudly and her body grinded deeper into me. Her breasts swaying with her movements.
"Even your lap dances are elegant. I could never have asked for a more gorgeous lady like you.~" I purred in pleasure. Rarity moaned again before pulling, lowering her face down to my dick. This made me blush with a blink. Was she gonna try giving me a blowjob? Maybe, since many mares are into that kind of thing with stallions. The mare took a deep breath as my musky scent filled her. Then, her tongue pushed out before beginning to lick my tip tenderly. "Oh gooooooooood, Rarity. Your tongue is as elegant and soft as an angel.~" I moaned as my hands gripped the sheets.
"You taste rather lovely, darling.~" She purred before her lips encased my tip while she sucked. Her tongue continued to graze my tip as it poked at the hole. I literally almost came at that very moment, but luckily my will power held most of it back. Rarity's eyes widened briefly as she pulled away. I watched her spread the liquid around her mouth before gulping. "Oh my…" She breathed with a dark blush.
"Heh...sorry. I didn't mean to surprise you like that." I chuckled sheepishly. "You were doing so amazing I couldn't help it."
The mare giggled as her hand slowly stroked my shaft. "I was actually hoping you would.~"
My blush darkened before I grinned lovingly and spread my legs open. "Then dig in, my love. Bon Appetit.~" Rarity giggled and again took my rod in her mouth. This time her tongue coiled my shaft as she began bobbing her head. Throwing back my head, I moaned as my hips bucked slowly with her rhythm. I heard her moan moments before she pushed deep enough for my dick to go into her throat. Every few seconds she would push me in deeper and repeat. "Ohhhhhh! My dear Rarity. I never knew you were so skilled at this.~" I groaned loudly as my legs wrapped around her neck gently.
Suddenly, she pressed her face against the skin of my crotch before bobbing her head, thrusting my dick in her throat. Seeing her face on my crotch was so erotic as our eyes met. They glittered with lust and love, and nearly pushed me over. "Rarity...I'm gonna…~" Not letting me finish, she went balls deep before inhaling harshly. My climax blasted as my hands gripped tightly to her mane. Rarity shuddered and gulped down every drop.
I climaxed for three minutes, which was long and blissful. When it ended, I released her so she pull back while swallowing the last of my cum. "Wow…that was the best blowjob I ever had.~"
I'm glad you enjoyed it, darling.~" She cooed. "Do you mind if I continue?~" Rarity cupped her large tits before softly pressing them around my dick. This was seriously a new level of pleasure. Her breasts...they were like silky pillows of heaven. I gave her a loud moan as a small bead of pre leaked out my tip by how amazing her pillows are. A look of utter delight crossed her face as she leaned down to lick me clean. Little by little I leaked as she continued to lick me.
"Jesus, Rarity, your breasts are unlike anything I ever felt. It's like my shaft is begging to stay in between them.~" I groaned in bliss while gazing at her. My comment made her flush as she gazed down at my dick. A look of determination form before she began pumping her tits along my shaft faster and harder. Every second, every pump, I was getting harder and harder. My dick throbbed like hell and it fucking hurt. Even my tip was fully flushed with blood as it shined a bit in the glittering light of the candles. The last straw was when she held her open mouth at my tip and licked me once more. I cried out this time as another large strand of semen burst out before spraying her mouth, face and breasts in the warm goo. Rarity moaned as she started catching my seed in her open mouth.
When my climax ended,she licked herself clean while keeping my shaft in her breasts. "Damn...that was the fastest climax I ever had…~" I breathed heavily.
The unicorn smiled warmly as she sat up. Her face was flushed and she was fingering her pussy slowly. Rarity's gaze soon shifted away before she spoke softly. "Darling...could you...take me? I...can't wait any longer."
That was all I wanted to hear. Smiling, I sat up and cupped her cheek so our eyes met again. "I shall, my dear. You pleased me, now...it is my turn to make you feel heaven.~" My lips captured hers in a french kiss as my dick tip rubbed her pussy folds. Rarity shuddered before falling on her back. I leaned forward while pulling her waist against my body. With our bodies making contact, I prepared to enter her. "I always ask this to my loves. Would you like it gentle and slow, or rough and fast?~"
Her eyes sparkled with love. "Slowly. I want to make this last.~" She purred. I gave her a smile and nod as I began. My dick slowly pushed against her folds before I entered her for the first time. Her eyes closed while she felt my dick push in deep and fill her. The sight of her blissful, drunken, and loving expression made me chuckle. I loved how she felt. Her walls massaging my dick in amazing ways.
With a purr, I began to slowly pull out of her hole. The feeling made her whimper until I burrowed back in. "Oh Rarity, slow fucking you is amazing.~" She gave a nod as her hands began fondling her breasts in rhythm with the thrusts. "Elegant. You are so sexy when you're elegant.~" I moaned as my hips pushed a bit harder to push myself in deeper with my slow thrusts.
Her eyes opened while she breathed deeply. "A...Alan, can you, mmmm, grab onto my breasts instead? I...I want you to be rough with them.~" My lips grew a loving grin as my hands left her hips and grabbed onto her tits. They sunk deeply in her furry skin, squeezing hard and roughly fondled them in a slow circle. Rarity moaned in pleasure as her hands moved down and began tweaking her clit and fondling my balls.
"I'm enjoying this, Rarity.~" I moaned in bliss. "Let us make love through the whole night, under the moon and stars. Let us bond and connect our hearts to make sure no one can ever separate us.~"
"Of course, my love.~" She cooed warmly. My hips continued to push and thrust gently as I went deeper and deeper, before I felt my tip pushing into a new hole, which I knew was her womb entrance. "Mmmmm, you're in so deep.~" Rarity moaned.
I leaned forward. "And you...feel divine.~" I purred before my tongue slowly traced her cheeks, neck and lips. She bit her lips as I felt her starting to finger herself fast against my dick. "I thought you wanted it slow.~" I teased with a purr as my balls pressed to her ass cheeks.
"I do.~" She moaned. "I just never expected this to make me burn with so much pleasure.~" Her head moved to my chest where she began kissing, licking and sucking on my skin.
"Mmmm, if you love that...then you'll enjoy this.~" I purred as my hips began swaying in my thrusts and caused my dick to dance in her pussy and womb. Rarity purred in delight before she latched to my nipple and suckled. "Oh baby. I love you. I love you so much.~" I moaned while I held her closer and stroked her mane. She purred in my words and snuggled closer. I noticed her horn near my face as I grinned. My mouth opened up until I encased it in my mouth and slowly bobbed my head against it as my tongue coiled around it. Her eyes shot open before she cried out in bliss and came. "Ooooo, so your horn is the most sensitive part on a unicorn.~" I purred with a grin.
Her blush darkened. "Darling, are you going to-~" She didn't get to finish as I resumed sucking on her horn. Moan after moan came from her as her body offered no resistance and came rapidly. Her juices flowed and coated my dick allowing me to slide easier inside her. My climax approached when I surprised her by slamming balls deep and erupted a volcano inside her womb.
The feeling caused us both to embrace tightly as the music went on. We breathed heavily before we kissed tenderly. "Mmm, that was amazing, darling.~" Rarity cooed.
"Indeed," I smiled and pecked her cheek. "But...the night is still young. Shall we continue?~"
A small grin formed on her lips. "Yes, we shall.~" With that, we fell back on the bed before the bed creaked in the room. Our moans and gasps filled the room in our never ending love making.
Far to the north, the night was restless. An old enemy to the land watched in glee over his army as the hideous creatures shrieked with terrifying and other worldly roars. For the past few weeks he had been biding his time as their numbers grew. Now his personal force was amassed at more than 50,000.
"The time of my vengeance draws nie." He spoke before he slowly chuckled until it rose to a small laugh, then finally a roar of laughter.
"Master." One of the being's lieutenants spoke up as he approached and bowed. "She is ready." The being grinned before walking to a stone circle, where Luna was unconscious and chained to the stone.
"Let the ritual begin!" He announced. The being's followers circled Luna before they started bowing over and over on their knees. He began chanting with his arms out as black and purple magic started flowing around the night princess. The energy courses in Luna as she screamed in pain in her unconscious state. The cloud of black and purple soon engulfed her while she rose in the air. "Walk among us! Be reborn as the true ruler of darkness and the night! Let those who oppose you tremble in fear, and let their nightmares become a reality!" The smoke cloud exploded as the chanters screamed and became orbs of purple light that flowed into the smoke.
Once it cleared, a new alicorn took Luna's place. Her fur was black, dark as the blackest of nights. Her mane was blue, sparkled and foggy. She wore dark cyan armor along her gorgeous hourglass body.
The shadow approached the being. "...She's more beautiful than I ever imagined."
"Indeed. She will be your true queen." The being grinned.
The mare slowly opened her eyes. They were cyan and had daggers like a dragon. "...Wha...where...am I?"
"Welcome back among us...Nightmare Moon." The being spoke with a chuckle until he started laughing. Nightmare's eyes flashed purple a mere second as a dark grin formed.
Equestria's worst nightmare, the ancient darkness that was thought to be destroyed...has been reborn.
