Alex heaved a heavy sigh as he stared up at the ceiling where Twilight’s bedroom was. He was glad that Spike wasn’t at the library for the past few days. The young drake was more mature than most people thought and wasn’t a stranger to Alex’s and Twilight’s relationship. Spike was sent to Canterlot for a few days because Twilight didn’t like to fight in front of him. Alex could hear the unicorn’s shower spraying out water.

Alex rubbed his face as he gave a light groan. He knew what the unicorn was angry about, and he couldn’t really blame her. Standing up from the couch he was laying on, he headed for the kitchen. Alex walked up to a nearby mirror that Twilight planned on moving to her room later. Alex took off his shirt and looked at the changes to his body. A few lines traveled along is chest and arms, giving off a faint lavender glow as they pulsed. The lines were a recent addition to his body, along with Jaeden and Ryan having their own lines appearing.

The lines appeared on their bodies as they furthered their training into more of the advanced spells of their dark magic. Thankfully, the lines weren’t harmful to their bodies, and were just a way of showing their advancement in their training. Still, they kept the lines hidden from everyone else so they could avoid having any problems. The main problem was keeping it hidden from the princesses, but it seemed that they were able to keep it under wraps. Shaking away these thoughts, Alex gave a final look over his form before putting his shirt back on.

Alex exited the kitchen and moved towards the couch. As he headed for the couch, he reached the stairs that led up to the unicorn’s room. He would have called it their room, but he found it hard to do so with how disappointed the mare was in him. He was about to move for the couch again, when he found himself climbing the stairs. He could feel his stomach churn in anxiety as he closed the distance between himself and the mare’s bedroom. The shower was still going, and he was glad that it was. The noise of the shower helped to calm his nerves as he thought back to what led to this situation.

A Few Days Ago

After the confrontation with Ambrosia, Alex, Jaeden, and Ryan had been sneaking out during the night to do their secret training. Whooves was kind enough to help clean up their notes, and he even offered a few tips on what they could do. They were confused as to how the stallion knew how to work their magic, but they didn’t see any reason not to trust him. They followed his advice by the letter, starting off small before going larger in their training.

Alex was able to learn how create small shadow creatures that could scavenge or scout if needed. Alex felt the lines forming on his body, creating a shadowy wisp as they traveled throughout his upper body. He noticed that the lines would glow differently when using his magic. When he wasn’t using his magic, the lines pulsed a lavender glow. When he was using his magic, the lines pulsed a dark violet glow. He was worried that something would happen as the lines formed on his body, but after talking with Whooves, everything seemed safe.

Everything seemed to go well as Alex kept up his training. He felt bad having to avoid being intimately close to Twilight, but he couldn’t stand hurting if she found out what he was doing. He felt bad that he couldn’t protect his friends when they fought Ambrosia’s drones, and if he couldn’t protect his friends, then how could he keep Twilight safe. These two thoughts were the driving force that pushed him to train secretly. It was hard to, though, because a few times Alex would arrived tired and sore. Twilight would try to help him, but he had to keep her away so she wouldn’t see anything that was changing about him.

Sadly, he wasn’t able to keep up the secret training. Twilight grew suspicious one night and had apparently followed him to where he and his friends were training. He didn’t even know the whole time until he returned to the library. He entered the library after training and saw Twilight sitting in her chair, her horn glowing its lavender aura. Alex heard the door behind him close and lock. The human didn’t move for several seconds before Twilight gestured for him to have a seat on the couch.

Taking his seat on the couch, they sat in silence. The silence was easy at first, the mare only looking him with soft eyes. The mare’s eyes soon changed from soft to furious. Silence still continued to sit between them before the unicorn finally stood up.

“What the buck is your problem?!” Twilight yelled.

Alex flinched from Twilight’s outburst. There were times that Twilight got angry, but he never heard her shout this loudly before, or even curse when upset. He wasn’t sure what had her so riled up, but he could probably make a few guesses.

“What’s wrong, Twilight?” Alex asked, not wanting to infuriate the unicorn further.

“How long have you been going out to the outskirts of the Everfree with your friends to practice your magic?!” Twilight continued to yell, but her eyes were gaining a bit of moisture.

Alex could have lied to her, but it didn’t seem right. Taking a deep breath, Alex admitted everything to the unicorn. “We’ve been doing it for a few nights after having our asses handed to by Ambrosia and her drones. I also want to show you something.”

Twilight moved closer to the human, her horn glowing again as her aura surrounded Alex’s shirt before making it disappear. “You mean these lines that formed because of you increase in learning dark magic?”

Alex didn’t even look the unicorn in the eyes as he stared at the ground. He didn’t say anything as he let the unicorn stare at him. He could hear her breathing was heavy, indicating that her emotions were all over the place. Taking a chance, Alex looked up to see the unicorn still glaring at him.

“I’m sorry, Twilight,” Alex said, not really sure what else he could say.

A few tears escaped Twilight’s eyes as she spoke between a few sobs. “Sorrry? Is that… all… you can… really say? You… put your… life in danger… just to learn… a few spells? Well, I hope… you’re happy. You’re… staying on the couch.”

Alex went to give the unicorn some reassurance, but she teleported before he could. Alex gave a soft frown as he buried his face in his hands. Tears escaped his eyes as a pit formed in his stomach. He was tempted to go talk with the mare, but he stayed away from her, allowing her time to think about everything. The two of them avoided each other the best that they could. Every time Alex saw Twilight, the unicorn would look down trodden as she tried to avoid letting tears fall from her eyes. Alex felt bad about everything that happened, and made a note to make it up to her when he could find the chance.

Present

Alex was standing outside the unicorn’s bedroom door. The door was ajar, and he could only hope that it was because she wanted to talk. The shower continued to run and he decided it was now or never. Taking a deep breath, Alex entered the bedroom. The inside was still the same, his stuff still in their place around the bedroom. Seeing that made him feel that there was still a chance to fix things. As he looked around the room, he noticed Twilight’s clothes were scatted around, showing that she was taking a shower.

Walking over to the bathroom, he could hear the unicorn humming to herself. He recognized it as a song that Cadance had taught her when she was a foal. The humming was wonderful to listen to as it helped to calm the human’s nerves a little. Looking around the room again, Alex opened the bathroom door. His face gave a slight blush as he saw the mare in the shower, her silhouetted form very clear from the shower curtain. He could make out every curve of her body and it was still as beautiful as ever.

Walking over to the shower, he made sure his arrival was quiet as he pulled the curtain slightly open. Twilight wasn’t aware of him as he stepped into the tub. His clothes got soaked from all the splashing water, but he didn’t really care. Alex gave a small smile as Twilight smiled herself. The mare’s smiled vanished though when she saw him and turned into a rough scowl. The mare’s horn immediately glowed, and Alex was ready for whatever she would launch at him. He waited a few seconds to feel something from her magic, but after a few seconds of nothing, he looked at the mare.

Twilight’s horn still glowed its magic aura, but it wasn’t as bright as before. Twilight didn’t bother covering herself up as she stared at the human. Silence was starting to linger between them and he wasn’t going to let it continue.

“I know I said this before, but I’m serious when I say it. I’m very sorry,” Alex said, not reaching for the mare to show he was serious.

“Why?” Twilight asked. The weight of the word hit Alex as it meant more than anything.

“I didn’t want you to worry. I feel terrible not being able to protect my friends, and even though I know you can protect yourself, I don’t feel like I can do anything right,” Alex admitted as he leaned against the bathroom wall.

“What do you mean you can’t do anything right?” Twilight asked as her horn stopped glowing and she placed a hand on the human’s shoulder.

“I’ve never been really good at a lot of things. I have a decent amount of skills, but nothing compared to the others. I’m average at best and I usually find myself being saved. I just wish that I could make that up to them,” Alex explained as he placed a hand on the mare’s hand.

“Alex, you’ve done more than anypony could ever ask for. Tartarus, your friends have even felt proud of everything you’ve done. All of you have survived everything together, never backing down from any challenge that presents itself. All you’ve ever done is kept each other and us safe from everything,” Twilight said as she brought the human into a hug.

Alex happily hugged the mare back, enjoying the feeling of her wet but warm fur ease his nerves. The unicorn was right as he thought back to everything that happened. Still, though, there was one thing that he needed to address.

“Even then, Twilight, I still snuck out of here to do something dangerous,” Alex admitted as he buried his face in her mane.

“I know, but these past few nights have given me time to think. I’m still upset at what you did, but I understand why you did it. I forgive you for it and I just want us to go back to the way we were,” Twilight said as she gave a small peck on Alex’s cheek.

Alex chuckled a little as he kissed the mare on the head. “I would love for everything to go back the way it could.

The two met each other for a deep, passionate kiss. Twilight moaned as she felt the human’s tongue invade her mouth and inspect her teeth. Alex could feel the mare grip at his clothes as she deepened the kiss further. The two soon broke away, panting heavily as their cheeks gave a small blush. Twilight’s glowed and before Alex could ask what she was doing, there was a sudden flash. Alex soon found himself naked, lying on Twilight’s bed as the mare slowly stroked his cock to life.

Alex groaned as the mare ran her fingers along his entire length, the tips of her fingers teasing the head as pre started to form. Twilight happily licked the pre from her fingers as her hot breath washed all over his cock. Alex watched with rapt attention as Twilight stroked his cock and massaged his balls. His hands gripped the sheets tightly as the mare delicately licked around the shaft. The two of them weren’t super active in the bedroom like some of the other mares, but Twilight remembered every sensitive point that could drive Alex wild.

The mare continued to tease his cock, building up a pressure in his groin before stopping and leaving him a panting mess. The mare knew that she was driving him wild at the moment, and if the sweat that was already forming on his body was any indication, he was really needing a release. Her horn glowed as she opened one of her nightstands and pulled out a bottle with clear liquid. Alex watched as the bottle floated past him, well aware of what it was. Twilight gave a little grin as she popped the cap on the bottle of lube and let it dribble out over the human’s cock.

Alex arched his back at the feeling of the cold sensation of lube against his warm skin. After making sure enough was enough covering the human’s cock, Twilight closed the bottle and put it back in the nightstand. Using her hands again, Twilight spread the lube over the human’s cock, using the excess on her own marehood. Twilight could feel her pussy moisten as he hands ran along her labia, and giving a few brushes against her winking clit. The mare was aware of everything that was going on, but another part of her mind was really focused on the human’s cock.

Twilight felt her mouth water slightly as she watched the human’s cock pulse with his heartbeat. After several more strokes, Twilight saw that he was ready and positioned herself over his cock. Alex let out a small groan as he felt the mare’s hot folds envelop his tip. Her walls massaged his cock expertly as she slowly slid herself down his length. Alex couldn’t help but grab at the mare’s flanks. Twilight let out a delighted coo as she finally took his entire length, his hands gripping her flanks firmly. The two panted heavily as they enjoyed the feeling of each other. Twilight reveled in the full feeling she was getting from Alex’s cock, while Alex was in a wonderful world of euphoria as Twilight’s velvet walls massaged his shaft.

Alex expertly kneaded Twilight’s slightly fatty but firm flank, taking special attention to her cutie marks. Twilight bit her lower lip, stifling a moan as she slowly rose up. A whimper escaped her lips as the full feeling turned empty. Her marehood ached to feel his cock inside her again, and she was happy to follow through with the feeling. The unicorn slammed back down, a moan echoing around her bedroom at the sudden filling of her insides. Alex groaned as the mare slammed down on his hips, the moan she released was music to his ears.

Letting off a primal growl, Alex rolled the unicorn over so he was on top. Twilight tried to fight for dominance again, but Alex easily had her pinned. Giving up, the unicorn looked at the human with lust filled eyes. Alex saw her eyes were begging to rut her senseless as her magic massaged his shaft. There was something in the air that caused Alex’s mind to go slightly hazy. He could make out the scent of their mixed musk’s and sweat, but there was something else. The other scent was subtle, but it was clear it was there.

Ignoring the other scent, he looked back at Twilight as she gyrated her hips, trying to get the human to move on. Giving a small smile, Alex hoisted Twilight’s leg over his shoulder so he could go deeper into her.

“Oh, Celestia! Yes!” Twilight moaned as she felt more of Alex’s cock fill her up.

Gripping her horn in his other hand, making the unicorn lose all coherent thought, he started to pump in and out of her. The new angle was euphoric as Twilight panted heavily, her walls massaging and constricting around the cock. Alex groaned as he continued to stroke the mare’s horn, her tongue lolling to the side as he rammed into her. The feeling of her gripping walls was slowly brining him to his breaking point.

Twilight’s eyes hazed over as her body went limp. She was lost in a sea of pleasure as lonely nights started to appear in her mind. She loved Alex dearly with all her heart, and she hated it when they would fight. She was aware of why she jumped him as she did, but this spoke monuments of what they couldn’t before. She felt loved and safe as the human took care of her, making sure that her pleasure was just as great as his. Closing her eyes, she let out her moans happily as she gripped the sheets.

The small fire that was in her gut before they began burned with intensity. She needed to feel the human release inside of to help put out her burning fire. Finding her own strength, the unicorn pulled her leg away from the human. Alex was stunned when Twilight pulled her leg away, and before he could say anything, the unicorn leaned up and wrapped her arms around his neck. The two shared a passionate kiss as he continued to thrust into her. His hand continued to stroke her horn and he could see the small sparks coming off of it. Twilight pulled away from the kiss, her hot, panting breath washing over the human’s face as she looked at him lovingly.

Alex gave a small smile as he kissed along the mare’s neck, her entire body shuddering as she felt his canines bite lightly at her skin. No matter how many times he did this, she couldn’t help the rush of pleasure that ran through her body. The sense of danger the teeth brought, along with the pleasure, was a wonderful sensation. Alex continued to suckle at the mare’s neck, and brought his other hand to her flank. He gave a few gentle rubs before rearing back his hand and slamming it against her ass.

“Ahhhn,” Twilight moaned as she felt more of her arousal seep out of her marehood.

The hit caused Twilight’s velvet walls to constrict around Alex’s cock in a wonderful way. Loving the way Twilight’s marehood massaged his length, the human continued to spank her. He was careful not to hit her too hard, but with the multiple hits that have landed on her flank, it was starting to turn red. Twilight gave a light shake of her head as the fire now roared inside of her, begging to be put out now.

Leaning towards the human, Twilight spoke in a sultry whisper. “Pull my tail as hard as you can.”

Alex would have been a little concerned with the request, but he was so drunk on pleasure that he didn’t even voice his opinion. Doing as the unicorn asked, he gripped the base of her tail and gave a hard yank.

“Yes! Yes! Oh, sweet Celestia and Luna! Yes!” Twilight yelled at the top of her lungs.

Twilight threw her head back, eyes glazing over as her tongue lolled to the side. Twilight’s orgasm was intense as her juices sprayed out, covering the human’s pelvis. Her horn shot out a large glob of condensed magic that landed on the headboard of her bed. Her walls constricted tightly around Alex’s pumping cock.

The feeling of Twilight’s tightening walls finally set him off. Spurt after heavy spurt of cum fired out of him, filling Twilight to the brim. Her once pink walls turned white from the amount of sperm he shot into her, and her only response was a loving coo as she nuzzled against the human. The two panted heavily as they fell to their sides, still connected to each other at the waist. Twilight had some of her mane blocking her eyes, and Alex easily brushed it aside to see the unicorn’s loving eyes.

It was moments like these that Alex loved, but he still felt bad about not being able to have a family with the mare. It was one thought that nagged him and his friends. They weren’t in a rush for children, but it was something that has popped in their heads a couple of times. They were certain the mares knew about this complication, so it only left one question. What would they do when they wanted children? Sure, the option for adoption was there, but some would like to have a child of their own. Shaking his head slightly, he looked at the mare as she placed a hand on his cheek.

“Please be careful, Alex. I don’t want to lose you to the corruption,” Twilight said as a tear threatened to fall out.

Alex knew what she meant, as did his other friends, and it was a risk they were willing to take. Corruption only happened if they let their dark magic take control of them. There have been a few that have mastered dark magic, but they were either now myths, or dead at this time. There were signs to show that corruption was taking over, and if needed, their friends would step in.

“I understand, Twilight. Again, I’m sorry for making you worry so much,” Alex said, placing his hand on her cheek.

“I’m always here for you, Alex, and I’ll always help you,” Twilight said as she kissed his cheek.

“I love you, Twilight,” Alex said as he kissed her head.

“I love you too, Alex,” Twilight said as she nuzzled deeper into Alex’s embrace.

The human didn’t take long to fall asleep. Twilight saw that Alex’s lines were still giving off their dull lavender glow and worried that something was wrong. She made a note to ask Luna to see if there was anything to worry about. Her eyes closed as she listened to Alex’s gentle heartbeat, lulling her to sleep. She gave a small smile as she felt content knowing that everything was fine between her and Alex.

Dream Realm

Alex found himself in the dream realm that Luna would take him to practice his magic. Taking a look at his surroundings, there wasn’t really much to see. He was surrounded by nothing except a white expanse. Alex sat down on the invisible floor as he waited for Luna to arrive. He didn’t have to wait long as the blue alicorn flew down from above. Alex smiled as he saw the alicorn come down, but that soon disappeared when he saw the sharp frown she was giving him.

“Did you honestly think that neither my sister nor myself would notice the changes that were happening to you?” Luna asked.

“Honestly, we were just hoping to avoid any confrontation from either of you,” Alex said.

Luna looked at the human for a few seconds before releasing a heavy sigh. “You, Ryan, and Jaeden are walking down a very thin path. We advise that you three stop what you’re doing, but we can tell that you already know the consequences.” Alex nodded his head. “We will continue to watch your development. Neither of you have any corruption, but I want you to understand that if it gets out of hand, there are only two options.”

“What options are those?” Alex asked.

Luna became crestfallen as she looked off to the side. “My sister and I will either have to turn you to stone, or-” Luna went silent as she avoided looking the human in the eyes.

Alex let out a deep sigh as he knew the second option. “Or you’ll have to kill us.” Luna looked at him with hurt filled eyes. “This is something we were aware of and have come to terms with. Only one person knows that we’ve requested them to kill us in case things get out of hand.”

“I’m sorry there isn’t a better option, but after centuries of fighting dark magic users, we can’t let things go back that way,” Luna said as she started to take flight away.

Alex waved goodbye to the alicorn before looking at the ground. “We understand more than you think. We won’t let anything happen to us or the others, but we’re always prepared to face the consequences.” Alex whispered as he created his dreamscape to something pleasant.
