State Of Mind
Chapter 30: Castle Embrace
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI turn to Luna, her gaze firmly stuck on me.
“Was it something I said?” I ask.
“No, I just never thought you would say that. I thought you would be more hesitant to become my new commander so easily.” Luna states.
I laughed. “Luna I may be human but yes I am scared of what it means to be your champion but...” I put my hand back on the chest, stroking it's smooth surface. “....I have to live with the fact I will do things and go places that will test me. I will meet these tests and I will beat them, because that is who I will be.” I try not to think of my fear of heights. Even after six months in the Griffon Colonies, I still had not got over my fear.
“You will be a great commander, I know it. Besides, I just want to see you spar with my sisters guard captain, should be quite the spectacle.” Luna says, giggling afterwards.
“Yes, I should really find him and apologise for slamming him into a wall.” I say.
“He was fine, it was his ego that was bruised more.” Luna replies, heading for the chamber door. “Now I know you want to head back to Ponyville, but would you like to stay for dinner? My sister will be there.”
“How can I refuse the offer of my princess, I would enjoy the company of two of the most beautiful ponies in all Equestria.” I say, stepping in behind Luna as she opens the door.
“Oh stop, now your just licking tail.”
“Licking tail?” I ask then quickly putting my hands in the air. “You know what never mind, I think I know what it means.” Luna smiles as we both head out into a large corridor.
Two guards outside Luna's door salute as we both walk out, I turn to Luna as the guards don't even flinch.
“I take it you leave this way so often the guards got used to you leaving but not entering?”
Luna blushes. “I guess sometimes I don't even realise that I have guards standing out here. I really should enter by the door more often.”
“Yep!” I agree, saluting the guards.
Luna and I don't take long to reach the dinning hall. Two guards were standing outside as we approached.
“Princess Luna, Princess Celestia is already inside waiting for you.” One guard says.
“Thank you.” Luna replies, opening the door as I follow in behind. I notice the two guards give me narrow stares.
When the door closes, I take the time to look at the dinning hall. To say it was large would be an understatement, you could fit Twilight's library in it six times and still have room. I whistled getting Luna to stop in front of me.
“You all right?” Luna asks me.
“Yeah.” I reply, still looking around. “Just didn't think it would be this big.”
Luna chuckles. “Come on, my sister is waiting.” I follow Luna's gaze and spot Celestia sipping tea at a long table. I take a quick look at the table, you could fit half of Ponyville on it. Celestia lifts her head up as me and Luna approach.
“Luna, and John. How nice of you to join me.” Celestia says, with a smile. “I thought you would be coming sooner.”
“Sorry sister, I had to show him his new armour.” Luna replies, sitting down near Celestia.
“Apologies princess.” I add, bowing my head.
Celestia waves a hoof. “No need for apologies John, anyway, how are you faring?”
I was little taken aback by the question but answered none the less.
“I am faring quite well, I have been invited to stay at the Apple residence in Ponyville. It was a personal request by my marefriend.” I notice Celestia smile. “I have also decided to ask my sisters to help me fly, I won't be much of a winged human if I can't fly.”
“I take it Rainbow Dash will be one of your instructors?” Celestia asks.
“Yes, though I might need to ask you princess If I can borrow some of your best flyers.” I say.
“Borrow some flyers?”
“Yes, Dash may teach me about how to fly and how fast I can go but I need some more military minded ponies to teach me how to fly tactfully.” I reply.
“You mean the Wonderbolts?” Celestia asks, I nod. “Well, I don't see why not. They are not in active service at the moment, so when you think you are ready to advance just contact me and I will send them.”
“Thank you princess.” I bow again.
“Now please John, have a seat. You are making me nervous.” Celestia says, gesturing to a seat.
I chuckle. “Sorry Princess, I guess I'm still not used to being in the company of royalty. I have to admit, I do find both of you intimidating.”
“You do?” Luna asks, I notice the slight bit of concern.
“Yes, I mean is not because of what you are but of what I could do in your presence.” I sigh. “I'm just a little scared of what could happen if my MAR kicks off again when I'm near you.”
“I thought your MAR is only absorbing background magic?” Celestia asks.
“I thought so too but an incident in the Griffon Colonies changed that perception.” I leaned on the table, a small frown appearing on my face. “During one of my 'jobs', I was tailing a unicorn...”
“There was a pony in the Griffon Colonies?” Luna questions, her shock evident.
“Yes, there are more than you think, it seems the tensions between ponies and griffons are breaking away.” I lean back. “Anyway as I was saying. I was tailing this unicorn but I guess I wasn't being very tactful. When I passed around a corner the unicorn was looking right at me and charging a spell, next thing I know I grabbed the unicorns horn and I somehow drained the unicorns magic. The spell fizzled out and the unicorn just passed out, it's coat even lost it's colour.” I noticed both Celestia and Luna's eyes were wide.
“That's interesting.” Celestia states, dropping her shocked look. “The only time a pony loses it's coat colour is if the magic in the ponies body is almost completely drained.” Celestia looks to me. “Basically John, it means you drained the ponies spirit, as that is what powers our magic.”
“But here is the strange part princess, let me show you something.” I turn to Luna. “Luna do you mind?” I point to her horn.
“My horn? I'm not so sure about this.” Luna replies.
“Don't worry princess, you'll see.” I say, giving Luna a smile which seemed to calm her. “Nothing will happen.”
“I-If you insist.” Luna says, leaning her head towards me.
I raise my hand and grab her horn and just like I said, nothing happens, no flash, no draining. I keep my hand on her horn for a couple of minutes, then I let go.
“See, nothing happens and that's the weird part.” I state.
Celestia taps her chin, I see the confusion on her face. Celestia was about to ask me something when a mare walks up beside me, I don't notice her until she speaks.
“Afternoon your highness.”
“Gah!” I shout, falling out my chair. The mare trots over and gasps.
“I'm so sorry sir! I didn't mean to scare you.”
I look up, the mares eyes grab me first. Her eyes were blue with a hint of green, her purple mane hang down around her muzzle. The mare had a look of concern on her face.
“I'm fine, nothing broken.” I chuckle, standing up. The mare starts dusting me down with her hoof.
“Again, I'm so sorry commander!” I raise my eyebrow. “Oh! Most ponies know who you are...Um sir.” The mare turns away blushing.
“O....K.” I reply returning to my chair. I look over to Luna and see she was trying to suppress a laugh with two hooves. “And what do you find funny?”
“Nothing!” Luna says with a snort. "Thought you did make Destiny blush." Celestia chuckles.
“Oh, you find it funny too?” Celestia nods. I smile as I extend one finger and focus on Celestia's drink, I almost fall out of my chair again as Celestia's juice erupts covering the princess. I laugh so hard my insides hurt.
“That is not funny!” Celestia states wiping the juice off her face.
“Fuck it is!” I carry on laughing, then I had to calm down as I couldn't breathe.
My merriment was short lived how ever as I was lifted up into the air by a field of yellow magic. I look to Celestia as I see a grin on her face.
“Luna my sister, you wouldn't mind if I borrowed your champion for a while do you?”
“Of course not sister, have fun!” Luna replies, I give her a 'you will pay' glare.
“Hey now! Let's not be too hasty here!” I say, trying to break free of Celestia's magic. Celestia smiles as we both teleport, seconds later I was dropped to the floor, quite painfully. “Where are we?” I ask, looking around. When I spot the bed covered in Celestia's cutie mark, all the blood runs from my face. “Uh? Princess? Why are we in your bedroom?”
“Oh! I needed somewhere private for my revenge!”
I swallow hard. “R-Revenge?” I stutter, as I spot Celestia moving and sitting on her bed.
“Come here....Champion.” Celestia's eyes fluttered at me. I walked forward thought every fibre was telling me to leg it. “You know, I never saw in you what my sister saw until now. I always thought that I would never fall for a non pony, but you have proved me wrong.” Celestia strokes her mane. “However, I cannot have you, can I?”
“I...I...” I couldn't reply, every part of me was stunned.
“You have a marefriend, you have a family. All I have is my sister, it has been too long that a suitable suitor has cross my eyes.” Celestia sighs. “Which is why I have set up this opportunity for you.”
I was confused. “Opportunity?” I ask.
“Yes, with your marefriend.” Celestia's horn glows as another door opens in the room, a pony walks out.
“Applejack?” I say in surprise. Applejack was wearing some very erotic lingerie. “What are you wearing?”
“Ah brought this for ya, ya like it?”
I couldn't talk, I couldn't answer, I just nodded. Celestia stands up.
“I will take my leave John and be careful my little pony.”
“He ain't hurt me yet princess.” Applejack replies.
“I was talking about him.” Celestia smiles looking at me. “You might break him.” I snort in response. “You John just don't know how earth ponies can get in heat, they can get....rough.” On that note Celestia leaves her chambers, leaving me and a heavily flustered looking Applejack.
“Are you ok Applejack? You look a little flustered.”
“Ah'm just feeling a little embarrassed, ah've never worn anything like this before.”
“You look great anyway, actually you looked great before.” I walk over and kneel down, placing my hand on Applejack's cheek, I slowly give it a rub. “You don't need to dress up, your sexy no matter what.” I say, grinning.
“Ah don't know what ah was thinking.” Applejack puts a hoof on the bridge of her muzzle.
“Well it certainly didn't go unnoticed.” Applejack looks up and I point to my now ridged wings. “These things always react to you.”
“So what do ya want ta do now?” Applejack asks, I notice Applejack slightly cross back her legs.
“Well, we are in Celestia's bedchamber. We could test her bed, you know to see how soft it is.” I state, rubbing the back of my head.
“Are ya serious!?” Applejack shouts. “Ya want ta sleep in the princess's bed!?”
“Why not, she ain't here.” I shrug, standing up and walking to the bed. Applejack trots up behind me.
“We can't! It's the princess's bed, it ain't right.”
I sigh. “Then we can always do it on the floor.” I start to grin. “If it's not to....rough for you.”
“Rough! Ah'll show you rough!” Applejack pounces on me, knocking me onto the bed.
“Well if you wanted to rut that badly, you only needed to say.” I laugh.
“Just remove that Luna damn shirt and take me!” Applejack cries, locking her lips to mine.
I don't do anything more but remove my shirt, the magic enchantment on it sliding passed my wings. My stated appendages however were getting uncomfortable, their stiffness coupled with me lying on my back made them ache. I tried to shift my body but with Applejack still lip locking with me and the constant weight of her body, it was a wasted motion.
“Ah want ya in me again!” Applejack says, breaking the kiss. “Ah want ya to rut me here, in the princess's bed!”
I tried to think of an answer or retort but was quickly stopped by Applejack fumbling with my trouser zipper.
“Celestia dammed Thing!” Applejack states in frustration.
“Let me help.” I chuckle, reaching down and quickly unzipping. “How about I help remove some of your attire?”
Applejack stops and looks at her own body.
“Yeah, thanks.”
I roll Applejack off me and lay her down on the bed, Applejack had her hooves up by her chin in some sort of submissive action. I really had to get all this lingerie off and fast, she was just too damn sexy to take it slow.
“You don't mind if this stuff gets ripped do you?” I ask.
“No, it's not like ah will be using it again.”
“Good!” I reply. Lifting up my hand to Applejack's body I focus on the outfit, as my hand starts to glow so does the attire. In one quick swipe of my hand Applejack's lingerie rips off and flies across the room.
“H-How did ya do that?”
“Not sure, but I think this was part of the package.” I raise my hand and hover it over Applejack's chest, seconds later a beam of light comes out of my palm, slowly dragging over her fur.
Applejack shivers and moans. “What's.....going....on?” Applejack asks, moaning in pleasure.
“It's something I picked up after draining a unicorn of it's magic, I think I can absorb a pony's abilities if I drain enough of their magic. Which means the pony I drained was some sort of entertainer, as he had some freaky abilities, all of them to do with causing pleasure to mares.” I reply.
I start to move my hand further down Applejack's body, stopping as I get to her teats. I change my hand so only my index finger was pointing and hover over her nipples, a yellow aura surrounds one of her fleshy nubs. Applejack lets out a loud moan, her back legs kicking in reaction. I then move my free hand and place it on her marehood, my other hand twirling my finger above her teats. My hand on her marehood glows and Applejack starts to buck her hips up, I noted I haven't even entered her yet and already these new tricks of mine were driving her mad. I smiled.
“John, ah going to.....Ah can't hold it!” Applejack screams as her body tenses in orgasm. I feel small bursts of liquid hit my hand on her folds. I stop my work and pull my hands away.
“Did you enjoy that?” I ask. Applejack with a hoof on her forehead just nods. Her breathing heavy. “Do you want round two?” I grin as I rise to my knees, my arousal plain to see.
“Ah want it!”
I grin as I lower myself over her. “You really want it?” I ask.
“Ah want it!” Applejack shouts, wrapping her front legs over my neck pulling me in.
I feel my shaft enter her folds, the pleasure was intense. I started to notice a smell of roses? Fresh grass? I couldn't place it, then I thought, both me and Applejack were technically in heat. It meant our smells were both crossing, creating some unique pheromone scent.
I groaned as Applejack bucked her hips, my whole length reaching deep into her. Applejack moaned as I bottomed out, my whole body quivered in excitement. I gazed at Applejack as she opened her eyes. Her emerald eyes met my mine, I leaned in and kissed her, thrusting as our embrace continued. My wings had stiffened further.
“You always feel so good Applejack.” I say, thrusting hard.
“Ya feel good too, ah love ya so much John.”
I smile. Several minutes pass as our intimate action comes to a close.
“Applejack....I'm going to release!” I state through gritted teeth. “I can't hold it no more!”
“Do it! Give me your seed! Fill me up!” Applejack screams as we both end together.
My body tenses as I release load after load into her folds. I pull out and fall over beside Applejack. I turn my head and find Applejack is smiling while looking at me. I slide closer and peck Applejack on the lips, Applejack returning the affection seconds later.
“Ah hope no pony heard us?”
“Doubt it but we should be careful for a while.” I reach over and pull Applejack into my arms, her head coming to rest on my chest. “Besides, we did just make love in Celestia's bed.”
Applejack sighs, I look down and see that Applejack had fallen asleep. 'A few minutes won't hurt' I think to myself as I close my own eyes.
P.O.V – CELESTIA + LUNA
“What did you do to my champion sister?” Luna asks, as Celestia returns to the dinning chamber.
“I just gave him a surprise, one he would enjoy.” Celestia chuckles, sitting back into her seat.
“You didn't?”
“Of course not! He has a marefriend after all.” Celestia smiles as she sips her now replaced orange juice. “I just brought John and his marefriend closer, I even gave them my bedchambers.”
Luna sips her drink before spitting it out. “You mean you...” Luna leans in closer. “...Let them have intimate relations in your bed?”
“Is that so wrong?” Celestia asks, raising an eyebrow.
“No, I'm just thinking you might need your sheets cleaned afterwards.” Luna replies.
Both princesses look at each other before breaking out in laughter.
“Now Luna I have something more desperate to discuss with you.” Celestia says, putting down her drink as her expression goes stern. Luna looks at her sister slightly confused. “My sources in the Griffon Colonies report that not all of Varala's men have been killed.”
