Luna daintily drains the last of her tea and sets the cup down. "The zone that is never named for it is the origin point of this world. The Eight forbidden zone. The cradle. A place where even magic itself is subjugated."

Naruto couldn't explain the feelings that were coursing through him. Never before had he been so nervous. "This...this location. What is this feeling?"

"The more powerful one is the more sensitive they are to the Lost Land's effect. I have not been here since I was a filly. In order to prove ourselves worthy of our charges mother had both Celestia and I partake in the trials. Celestia believes not only Twilight is ready for these trials, but she will be capable of completing all eight of them."

"And the role I am to play?"

"You are here to be her confidant and nothing more. It will be up to Twilight Sparkle to complete the trials."

"Huh, I wonder who it must have been to help Cadance with her ascension then." Naruto murmured.

"The case with Cadance is different." Luna corrected. "She is not immortal and is not a natural born Alicorn. While her ascension increased the potency of the earth pony blood in her line as well as latched onto the love of the members of her village from her ascension her powers are that of a Unicorn and a Pegasus primarily lacking the strength and endurance of an earth pony. While there were indeed other Alicorns in the past only by learning to control the heavenly mechanisms or becoming one with an aspect of the universe can one become a true Alicorn. Unfortunately, the rest of the True-borns were slain a long time ago."

Naruto silently contemplated Luna's words. He was going to need all his focus for the task ahead.

“At this rate, we’ll reach the altar around half an hour before sunset, but we shouldn’t dawdle. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll need to wait a full day for the next, and I’m afraid that’s time we don’t have.”

The four of them had finally arrived to the altar. Far above the ground, nearly reaching the limit of the sky they had reached the platform. Behind the platform was mural surrounded by ancient writing and in its center was an ever-changing colored gem. There were nine doors each made of a different material.

The air was very thin, and the faint warmth of the sun could barely be felt. The magic within him seemed livelier and even richer than before.

Naruto looked to the dull, lifeless jewel in Twilight’s hand. It was shaped differently, not meant for a necklace or either a crown. He couldn’t help but grow curious of its use once it was completed.

“Each door will be a trial that will test all that you have come to learn and embody over your lifetime. These tests trials will take all your courage, strength, and intelligence to pass them. When you are ready, place your hand upon the door and channel your magic into it. When you are ready contact us and we shall return.”

Those were the words Celestia had left them with before her and Luna had left them. Feeling overwhelmed Twilight had not begun the first trial. The two had set up a small camp sitting not too far from the altar. There was no telling how long it would take to complete the trials so it was important they had a place of recovery in between the trials.

Cuddling up next to Twilight he gently stroked her mane as she leaned into him. She relaxes a bit, closes her eyes, and lets out a tired sigh.

“...This is all…so much to take.”

“It is rather much to take in but have faith in yourself. You wouldn’t be here otherwise if the sisters didn’t think you were ready.”

She watches the fire for a while, and with a sad, wistful smile…” Everything is going to change isn’t it. I simply just won’t be the princesses’ research student anymore. If everything goes according to plan, I won’t just be Twilight Sparkle anymore.”

“Silly mare, over the past few years you’ve become the wielder of the element of magic, saved multiple kingdoms, and faced down gods, yet you’re still have the insistent need to follow list and schedules and recategorize your library once a month. Trust me, you still are Twilight Sparkle I met in town that one Summer Sun celebration.” With that he gently cradled her cheek and guided her lips to his.

Giving her what she needed. The most simple and loving kiss.

Pulling back, he knew he did the right thing. Where her expression once held sadness, fear, and doubt there’s now only that goofy smile that he had come to know after all this time.

He went back to his earlier ministrations in hope of helping her unwind. She nestled against him in comfort and contentment and giggling as you hit ticklish spots.

Soon, however, once everything’s settled down, he took in her expression. Twilight was at peace, all her cares and worries wiped from her face, her hands resting against his torso. Smiling, he softly scratches her mane with his of his fingers.

“When was the last time we had time like this? Just you and me?” He said as she slowly opened her eyes.

“It’s been so long since everything that has been happening. I feel like since that vacation we have been none stop busy. To have this moment with you feels nice.” She remarked as she began to climb up and straddled is hips.

“Mare…do you have any idea how hard it is going to be to not give into temptation now?"

She leaned her forehead against his. "Now who says you have to resist? I want…no need this.”

While her fear and nervousness were gone, it was obvious Twilight needed more time and comfort to take her mind off the monumental task that laid before her.

She then moved her hand and leaned into him, pressing him into the sleeping bag where she kissed him deeply. Soft moans slipped from both of their lips as she could already feel Naruto moving his hands along her curves before moving under the bindings in the back of her top. Her skirt wasn't too much of a problem…but the top. It was a terrible tease of only giving him access of only a little bit of cleavage. Took him a few minutes to find the knots but he undid them with easy as he distracted Twilight with a soft, yet heated kiss before he heard her gasp, feeling the fabric of her shirt loosen and start to slowly slip off her shoulders.

Twilight sat up a little, looking down to her coltfriend as his hands rested on her legs as she carefully pulled her shirt off. She then undid the claps and removed her bra tossing it to the side. She nearly did a double take as he ran one of his fingers down his ribs and his clothes had vanished. Was there anything those seals of his couldn’t do? Shaking the thought from her mind she magically removed the last piece of garment that separated them before she steadied him using her hand and slid on top of him.

A sharp hiss escaped her lips which was soon silenced as he pulled her down and captured her lips against his. Twilight proceeded to rock against him. This sudden urge and change in behavior were his librarian’s urge to seek and seize some form of control which he was happy to relinquish.

He held on her a little harder when she picked up the pace, biting near the tip of her horn knowing the vibrations would travel through the limb. The action further turned on the unicorn as he drew closer and closer to her erogenous zone. In her mind she drifted off to a fantasy as if they were copulating mid-flight, an odd, but not unwelcome fantasy as she drew closer and closer to reaching her peak. Rolling her hips, a bit harder against him, she gasped, breaking their kiss as she rested her forehead against his, moaning his name as sparks began to briefly shoot from her horn. She arched her back as she felt a second wave crush through her along with the warm and sticky sensation of his seed.

Collapsing against his chest she let a sigh of relief as he wrapped his arms around her torso. “Feeling better?” He warmly asked her as he gently stroked his hand up and down her back.

“Better than I have in a while.” She answered as she began focusing on his heartbeat. Soon the lovers had drifted off to sleep to obtain enough rest for the trials that await them ahead.

Returning to the altar the duo found themselves standing in front of the doors. Each emblazoned with a mark of Harmony. After a lot of time and contemplation Twilight moved in front of the door with the lightning bolt emblem shaped into it. Twilight began to recall and reflect on Celestia’s words from yesterday.

“Each trial of Harmony is guided by a spirit. This spirit is the anti-thesis to that to tenant and judges those who are worthy or unworthy based on the contents of their heart and mind in regard to the corresponding element. Should you prove unworthy you will be banished from the trial and permanently locked away from fulfilling the trial.”

“Spirit of Harmony, Spirit of Loyalty. I stand before you awaiting judgement. I am Twilight Sparkle, element of Magic of the House of Sparkle. I beseech thee access to the trial.” Not too long after the words a faint flow began to appear from the Door of Loyalty.

Twilight was a washed in an array of light before being transported inside a chamber. The chamber walls gleamed of the finest silvers as the platform was made from a mixture of blues with aqua and turquoise being the most prominent.

Then that’s when it appeared.

Slowly but surely, the interior of the Trial chamber lit up to reveal an area just as large as the one they were in but lined with curving arcs of white marble. The lightning emblem decorated the walls, and in the center stood something imposing yet awesome.

It looked to be a kneeling quadruped and muscular furred lupine. On its head was a solid living lightning bolt that eternally danced. Along its arms legs and torso were various pieces of gold jewelry.

"I AM THE GUARDIAN OF TREACHERY CREATED BY THE SPIRIT OF LOYALTY," it spoke. "IT IS MY DUTY TO CAST OUT ALL BETRAYERS! ARE THOU READY TO SUBMIT THEMSELVES TO THE TRIAL CANDIDATE TWILIGHT SPARKLE?”

“I…I am!” Twilight loudly answered after taking a moment to gather her wits and suppress her awe.

“BE FOREWARNED, THIS TRIAL IS A TEST OF YOUR LOYALTY BASED DECISIONS THROGUHOUT YOUR LIFE! AS LOYALTY IS MORE THAN JUST STICKING BY THOSE YOU ARE CLOSE TO. ONE MUST ALSO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF STRENGTH, INDEPENCE AND FREEDOM. IN ESSENCE ONE LEARNS HONOR AND UNDERSTAND WHAT TRUE LOYALTY MEANS.”

Strength. Freedom. Independence. Yeah, that described Rainbow Dash to a tee.

“NOW THERE ARE TWO CHOICES! THE SIMPLE CHOICE OF ME READING THE CONTENTS OF YOUR HEART AND MIND TO DECIDE YOUR LOYALTY OR YOU CAN TAKE THE REALM QUEST. BE FOREWARNED BY DOING THE LATTER THIS MEANS THE POWER YOU COULD OBTAIN WILL BE SHARED WITH ANY OTHERS CONNECTED, BUT IT WILL PROVE FAR MORE ARADOROUS!” The spirit didn’t need to read Twilight’s mind to know what would be chosen. Every time they came it was always the same.

“I Choose the latter! I would have never come this far on my own and I could never forgive myself if I took something that rightfully belonged to one of my friends for myself.”

For the first time in its existence the spirit was shocked into silence. Never before had…no….long ago…there were two ponies. Two sisters that made the choice. In though they could not fully invoke their lesser element, together they shared both bond and powers. Could they have at long last found worthy inheritors? In that case he would commune with the others. If Twilight Sparkle proved herself worthy than the option of the final trials would be offered to her and her friends after they solved the Tree of Harmony’s puzzle box.

“I ACKNOWLEDGE YOUR WORTHINESS TWILIGHT SPARKLE! I SHALL NOW ADMINISTER THE TRIAL OF LOYALTY. PREPARE THYSELVES!"

The Guardian of Treachery’s Lightning bolt shaped emblem raised from its head and shot down at Twilight who knew nothing but a blinding flash before fading out.

I apologize for taking so long only for a few thousand words. I promise the next chapter will be out soon. Now I know must people were disappointed by how fast MMC was and then further disappointed by how simple the puzzle box trials were. Obviously the idea of trials was inspired by the latter and will of course be Equestrian Heroes epic by yours truly when we get to them. Hopefully I'll have Loyalty done by either Wednesday or Thursday since it was the setup to get to this point that was giving me the most trouble. With that I hope you guys enjoy the update.
