High Moon Ch. 48:

Sisters...

“So, you’re gonna be hanging out with Wolf all day?” Quill asked, sitting at the table as everyone ate their breakfast, before they would all split up and set out to do the things they wanted or needed to do. Yet again, Lily was off on some mysterious personal business, saying that she would be back before nightfall. No one questioned the mare’s absence, since Wolf said that she always had High Moon’s best interests at heart.

While she was gone, Blaze was planning to show Cyclone a bit more of her fire-magic so Quill could concentrate on her flying to prepare for the flight contest in Stormfront. “What exactly are you two going to be doing anyway?”

“Just something personal for Wolf, that’s all,” Spike answered as he finished off his apple. Moving around was a lot easier without those limiters on his wrists. In fact, it felt like moving around was even easier than it was before he had the limiters. “So, you and Frost going to be flying around all day? Or will you be doing something else, hm?”

“You would love to know about that, wouldn’t you, perv?” Quill quipped, sticking her tongue out at Spike, causing him to choke on a few pieces of his apple while Cyclone was brightly blushing. “Don’t you have your own girl to worry about?”

“On second thought, the last thing I want to know is if my sister is busy with her marefriend,” Spike deadpanned after his choking fit was over. And since he chose to ignore that last poke at him and Cyclone that Quill had shot out, Spike instead just stood up from the dinner table with a small stretch. “I’ll see you guys later, me and Wolf had better get started as soon as we can. Right Wolf?”

Wolf looked away from Blaze and Isis for a moment over to the drake, not really not really having paid much attention to the conversation the younger members were having. “Huh, well alright, if you want to start so early,” Wolf said as he moved away from Blaze’s table, giving Isis a nod.

Isis returned her master’s nod, knowing that he was entrusting her to keep watch of everything. With the sphinx’s silent acknowledgement, Wolf leaned over to give his mare and sphinx a quick kiss before walking towards the door, stopping to tell Spike, “If you’re ready Spike, go on and call Peewee so we can head out.”

“Okay Wolf, I’ll be out in a sec,” Spike said with a nod towards the alpha dog, who was already walking out of the temple. A small blush coming to his cheeks, Spike turned to Cyclone and took her hand in his, leaning down to bring it up to his mouth and lay a small kiss on her knuckles. “See you later, Cy. Have fun today.”

Cyclone’s cheeks turns a hot crimson, which only served to make Spike’s blush deepen as well. “You too, Spike,” she smiled up at him. Spike smiled back at her, running a thumb along her knuckles before letting her hand go and starting to turn towards the door.

As he walked past her, he heard Quill loudly whisper, “Luna, that was so sweet it hurt my teeth.” Veil snickered from her place next to Cyclone, nudging the still blushing dragoness.

Sure that his face was completely red by now, Spike was about to retort when he heard Blaze come to his rescue. “I thought it was rather adorable, Quill. It’s certainly cuter than seeing you and Frost jumping on each other all the time.”

Spike turned to see Quill and Frost’s faces blazing, Quill trying and failing to stammer out a response. He just chuckled and turned back to the door, calling out, “Come on Peewee, we’ve got some work to do today.”

Peewee glanced down from the shared nest at Spike for a moment before looking over to Cinder, as if asking permission for something. All the purple pheonix did was give Peewee a nudge underneath his beak. Peewee gave Cinder a quick nuzzle before flying to Spike’s shoulder on his green t-shirt, glancing back up to Cinder once more.

Everyone raised a collective and curious eyebrow at the two birds. “Hey Spike,” Quill started, coming to a conclusion of her own, not sure if it was the right one. “You don’t think that Cin and Peewee are…”

“Yeah, let’s not think about that right now, or ever. I’ll see you guys later,” Spike said as he walked toward the door out of the temple, having a feeling that Quill was right. For some reason, it seemed weird to him, in spite of it being all but natural. The birds had been from different nests, after all.

With her brother gone, and not wanting to worry about her upcoming flying practice, Quill wondered about something that’d been in the back of her mind for a while now. “Hm, I wonder how Dusk’s gig went?”

“Thank you Canterlot, you guys were awesome!” The crowd roared as the legendary performer Vinyl Scratch came to an electric end with the help of a certain nearly-infamous half-breed. Today was the last day of the show, having had two performances the day before. Both the crowd and crew gave had given it all they could.

The experience was certainly a new one for Dusk and his two mares. Having only done small things like this with old friends back home here and there, Dusk was blown away at the sight of a full arena hall of fans. When he was a teenager, it had been him, some friends and family members in a studio booth. Now, it was a fully packed audience. What surprised him even more was that there were a few faces in the crowd that he remembered seeing from the Republics.

Sketchy and Jinx were able to make the most of their time by visiting all of Canterlot’s hotspots. The Museum of Equestrian Natural and Magical Arts for Sketchy to study and amaze at, while Jinx was able to take in the sights. She was even able to steal her lovers off to a bakery that she’d heard about from Pinkie.

In regards to the elements, Dusk had been surprised to find that they had came to Canterlot to meet up with their friend Rainbow Dash to work everything out. And since he’d found his way into the situation, Dusk was somewhat anxious to see how it turned out.

“Goodbye Canterlot!” Vinyl cheered before she, Dusk, and a pegasus mare named Rave Melody all walked off the stage, leaving out through the back. The group of performers continued down a cluttered hall towards a back room, each one with their own thoughts about the show.

Once they finally reached the back door of the room, Dusk opened it up for the two mares to walk in first as Vinyl let out a long and uneasy sigh. “Pff, we did it guys,” she said as she and Rave slumped over to the green vinyl couch, exhausted, while Dusk sat down in a chair with his guitar still in his hands. Vinyl let out a long sigh, saying, “Three big shows, two long days. Now we can breath for a bit.”

“Gee Vinyl, it almost sounds like you’re gonna quit the road,” Rave said as she moved some of her neon blue and pink mane out of her face. Sure, she was just as tired as Vinyl, and maybe Dusk, but Rave knew better than to believe that Vinyl was one to actually calm down and rest. “Ha, knowing you, you already have something else planned. You’re just waiting for the best time to lay it in.”

Vinyl started to laugh at the pegasus singer, shaking her head as she sat up in the couch. “Nah, I’m serious this time. This performer is going on vacation!” she said as she pointed her thumb at her chest. “Maybe I’ll go to Angels’ Sand Island for some fun in the sun.”

“Angels’ Sand Island? Vinyl, sometimes you’re full of shit,” Rave deadpanned with a laugh that was shared with the mare before she turned her attention to the half-breed she was starting to like. “What about you Dusk? You got any plans?”

Dusk glanced up from his guitar to look at the mare that somewhat reminded him of his elder sister. The largest difference was that the mare had the singing voice of a siren, and not the voice of a screaming banshee. “Heh, nothing too big I guess,” he mused, strumming a few notes out of boredom. “I want to say life will get back to being normal soon. But with this thing around my neck,” Dusk paused to point at his collar that was still infused with a power that he still didn’t fully understand. “I highly doubt I’ll see any kind of peace for a while. So gotta make the best of it while I can, you know?”

Both mares stared at the half-breed as he continued to destroy their previous notions of him being a hardened canine with his sheepish laughter. Vinyl herself wasn’t really too surprised that Dusk acted the way he did, he had to had a soft side to him if he was going to keep those two mares of his. However, Rave was a bit more surprised.

Like a large, and unhealthy, number of Equestrians, Rave thought that diamond dogs were nigh-feral creatures that lived on pure instincts. Adding a dragon into that equation was a scary thought, but then she’d met Dusk, shattering all close-minded thoughts.

“Yeah man, we know,” Vinyl said as she relaxed against the couch again, kicking her feet up on the coffee-table. “How does it feel by the way? It must be a lot on your mind with you being an Element, especially all on your own.”

“Yes, it has to be a heavy weight for you to bear,” Rave added as she placed her hands in her lap, sitting up straight on the couch to look at Dusk. “An unfair weight, may I add. I mean, no one goes to school, or lives their lives to be heroes. You should be free to do what you want to do.”

Dusk merely smiled as he shook his head, moving to sit sideways in the chair while he continued to fiddle with his guitar. “That’s the thing, I am,” Dusk said, picking at the strings of his bass guitar, and lightly bobbing his head to the slow rhythm. “You’re right, I’m no hero, and I don’t ever want to be one. If I wanted to be that, I would’ve stayed in the Republics and joined the Nightmare Guard. Nah, all I want is to be is healthy, and see my family smiling. That’s all I could ask for.”

Again, both mares were caught by surprise by the younger half-breed’s words, it being one of the most mature things they’d ever heard. To think that Dusk had the reputation of a miscreant. “Dude that has to be the most...”

Suddenly, Vinyl was cut off by the door flying wide open to Jinx running full speed in the room and straight to Dusk. By the time Dusk could even get a hold of the situation, Jinx had already lunged at him, knocking him down to the ground in a death like hug. “Dusky! That last show was amazing!” Jinx cheered nearly at the top of her lungs, even though she been to the first two shows as well. “Oh Dusky these last few days have been the best, ever.”

“Jinx, okay Jinx,” Dusk laughed as he used his tail to wrap around the neck of his guitar so he could sit up with Jinx’s arms still wrapped tightly around his neck. The mare quickly began nuzzling into Dusk’s chest, forcing him to remain rooted to the ground. “Thanks, I’m glad that you had a great time, but it really was Vinyl and Rave that did most of the work.”

Rave started laughing awkwardly at the situation, still not quite used to Jinx’s overly playful nature. Vinyl was laughing as well, but this one was more because of the humorous situation the half-breed had himself in.

“Oh no ‘Dusky,’ you’re the one who did most of the work. So don’t you dare try playing it off on us,” Vinyl said in another laugh as Jinx continued to shower Dusk in a somewhat embarrassing public display of affection. “You carried the equipment, got rid of that annoying fan, and you pulled out all the stops with your magic. Dude, you are the best bassist I’d ever had the pleasure, and honor, to play with. And I thank you for that.”

Dusk began laughing a bit at the mare’s flamboyant way of saying thanks for the help he’d given her. “It wasn’t that much stuff really, and that colt had that coming to him.”

“Oh so that’s why he couldn’t spend much time with us,” Sketchy said, making herself known after following Jinx all the way to the back room. However, Jinx hadn’t been able to contain her excitement after the show like Sketchy was. “Dusk, when are you going to learn when enough is enough?” she asked, walking over to her two lover as Jinx finally let Dusk stand up.

“C’mon, you gotta say that it was worth it, right?” Dusk asked with a smile on his face, hoping it was enough to convince Sketchy. “Vinyl and Rave needed the extra hand, and don’t tell me you would be happy with me leaving them with all the work.”

Sketchy opened her mouth to retort against what Dusk said, but soon closed it when she realized that he was right. For once. “I suppose so,” Sketchy sighed, thinking for a bit to herself before merely shrugging it off and joining her pack-sister in embracing Dusk. “But I still want time with just you two.”

“Aw girls,” Dusk said with a small blush on his purple fur from his mares affectionate hugging. “Well...there is a few hours before the after-party tonight, we could, oh I don’t know,” Dusk paused to think of something to say, moving his hand to the back of his head, and looking over towards Vinyl for some kind of help. All the mare did was wave her hands in a manner that told him to get the show going. “Do something until then?”

The room quickly became quiet from the half-breed’s weak recovery, causing Dusk to facepalm with a groan. “How about we go for some lunch first, Dusk?” Sketchy said with a small giggle as she turned to walk out of the room. “Good-bye for now Miss Scratch, Miss Melody, we’ll see you at the after-party.”

“Yeah, yeah, just show that dog a good time will ya?” Vinyl joked, knowing Dusk could use the break after all the work he’d done for the last two days. “He’s a good doggie, and a good doggie needs to be rewarded with a doggie treat.”

Dusk opened his mouth to find something to joke back to the mare when Jinx began pulling on his hands. “Don’t worry, we will,” Jinx giggled as she continued to pull on Dusk’s hands, leading him out of the room. “Bye-bye Vinyl and Rave, this was really fun!”

“Yeah we got to do this time other time, see ya,” Dusk said in a rushed voiced as Jinx continued to pull him out of the room in a hasty manner. “Erh Jinx, slow down already, where are we going anyway?” Dusk asked, somehow managing not to run into anything as Jinx still kept pulling him through the hallway.

Further down the hall Sketchy began giggling to herself as she had started thinking of a way to ‘reward’ her alpha half-breed. “Oh don’t you worry about that Dusky,” she said in a mocking tone, looking back over her shoulder at Dusk. “Vinyl’s right, you’ve done so much these past two days. So we’re going to treat you, that’s all.”

“Okay, but that didn-”

Jinx interrupted Dusk by suddenly stopping and turning around to wrap her arms around Dusk’s torso. “Please Dusky,” she said in a low tone of voice as she nuzzled into Dusk’s chest before turning her head upwards to look into Dusk’s blue eyes. “We want to treat you for all the good you’ve been doing.”

“And that starts with you shutting up,” Sketchy said, teleporting over towards her two lovers in a flash of grayish light, appearing right in front of the two. “Now,” she said as she leaned against Jinx to place her hands on Dusk’s chest, crossing her horn with Jinx’s. “Why don’t you sit back and let us do all the work, hm?”

“Wait, are you two going to-” Dusk was cut off by his two mares using the same powerful teleportation they’d used during their last date, taking Dusk somewhere more…‘private.’ When Dusk was able to see, he knew that his mares had teleported them back to the hotel room Vinyl had gotten for them.

And just like last time, all articles of clothing had been removed from his body, and he was laying back on the golden sheets of the soft cloud-bed. “Seriously? How do you two keep-” Dusk yet again was cut off when he felt something warm traveling up from the base of his bottom shaft. Quickly sitting up, Dusk saw his two mares with their bare backs turned to him as they rested on the bed, taking turns licking his bottom shaft. “G-girls, mind telling me when you’re gonna do that teleporting thing you do next time?”

Sketchy rolled over to her back, laying her head on Dusk’s hip, and giving Dusk a full view of her bare breasts. As she looked up at the blush on Dusk’s face, Sketchy softly smiled as she ran her hands down her body to give her alpha a small show.

While the white mare was playing out one of her small fantasies, Jinx quickly took over with licking Dusk’s bottom shaft, not really paying Sketchy much attention. Moving in between Dusk’s legs, Jinx began trailing her tongue up the base of Dusk’s bottom shaft all the way up to the tip, taking a moment to place a few kisses on it before going back down.

“But you love it when we take care of our little mutt,” Sketchy teased as she rolled over to her stomach to climb up on Dusk, straddling his toned midsection and lightly grinding on him. Both Dusk and Jinx knew that Sketchy always had a not-so-secret fantasy of being a showmare. And now it seemed she wanted to try her hand at it.

Wanting to hold one of his mares in his hands, Dusk moved his hands around Sketchy’s waist, only to have Sketchy bind his wrists to the headrest of the bed with her magic. “Ah-ah, no touchie,” Sketchy giggled as she danced her fingers lightly up to Dusk’s broad shoulders where she firmly took hold, increasing her grinding. “You’ve been overworking again, so you’re not doing a single thing until I say you can.”

“Come on Sketchy, that’s not fair,” Jinx chimed in, sitting up from Dusk’s shafts, sneaking up behind Sketchy and placing her hands on Sketchy’s waist. She quickly snaked her hands further down to Sketchy’s marehood to rub and lightly prod at her outer walls.

Sketchy tried to escape her sister’s playful hands by leaning further onto Dusk, but each time she tried, Jinx would pull her hips back. Jinx giggled at the bright blush on Sketchy’s face, enjoying having control over the stronger unicorn. “Dusky works hard to take care of us. We should let him do whatever he wants.”

“Bu-but Jinx, Dusk has been working so hard that I figured he would be tired, and want us to take the lead,” Sketchy said, not wanting to miss this chance to act out her fantasy of being a showmare for Dusk and Jinx. “I-I’m sure we can take care of all his needs ourselves.”

Jinx paused for a moment to think about what Sketchy was saying. Dusk had been working extremely hard for the last few days, both for them and the DJs, and she would like to keep the control she had over the both of them going. “Hm, as usual you make a great point Sketchy,” Jinx began, getting Sketchy to breathe out a sigh of relief. “But~ I wanna try something, so move over.”

“Jinx what are you doing?!” Sketchy demanded, as Jinx quickly moved to take her spot on Dusk’s chest. Jinx soon turned over to to lay her back on Dusk’s chest, pushing Sketchy down so that her marehood was right over the tip of Dusk’s bottom shaft. “Could you at least tell me what you’re planning to do?”

“Nope~ I want this to be a surprise,” Jinx said in her normal singing voice as she reached her hands down to Dusk’s top shaft to stroke it a little. This quickly got the reaction she was looking for when Dusk let out a small growl, his hips bucking upward at Sketchy, prodding her entrance with his lower shaft.

Jinx giggled when Sketchy moaned softly before she placed her hands on Jinx’s thighs. “Come on Sketchy, where’s that dominatrix in you?” Jinx teased, continuing her slow stroking as she nuzzled her head into the crook of Dusk’s neck. “You’re always going on about giving Dusk a show, so why not now. Hm?”

“F-fine,” Sketchy moaned as she moved off of Dusk’s shaft, and the bed altogether. “But if I do this, it’s completely my say-so,” she continued in a huff as she stood at the foot of the bed, crossing her arms over her chest, and turning her flanks towards away from her lovers. “And no interruptions from the audience.”

Jinx started to giggle along with Dusk, his raspier than it normally was due to the teasing that brought out his dragon side. Jinx smirked at Sketchy, lighting her horn to undo the restraints on Dusk’s wrists, allowing him to quickly bring his hands down to Jinx’s perky breasts. Jinx let out a moan as she turned her head to place a kiss on Dusk’s neck, glancing up at Sketchy to see her glaring back at her. “Okay, we’ll behave, promisies~”

Sketchy snorted a bit at Jinx, reminding herself not to let the mare take control like that again before she turned her dark-gray eyes on Dusk. “We promise that we will sit here and watch you work your magic, Sketchy,” Dusk said, guessing that’s what she wanted to hear.

Nodding her head, Sketchy turned herself around as she took in a deep breath to calm her nerves. Suddenly, Sketchy whipped her head around, causing her multi-shaded black mane to whirl around over her shoulders. She quickly locked her half-lidded eyes to her two lovers, only focusing on them and their expressions.

Sketchy began running her hands up from her thick thighs to her discreetly toned stomach and finally her modestly-sized breasts, allowing a moan to flow from her lips as she tilted her head back. She then moved them back down slowly, swaying on her feet a little while her tail swished behind her.

A grayish glow encased the mare’s horn, reaching out her magic to shut the blinds, and casting a soundproof barrier on the locked door to ensure that her performance wasn’t going to be interrupted. She then reached her magic out to the lights of the room. Soon a grayish color filled the room as Sketchy continued her slow dance, moving her hands in her black mane, and lifting it all the way up before flicking her fingers free.

As the black threads of hair fell back over Sketchy’s shoulder and back, the mare continued to twirl her hands up above her head, again lighting her horn to create a bright gray shine that flowed around her body in a spiral.

Her audience had no time to admire the coil of ethereal magic before Sketchy twirled around again, showing off her large flanks. Sketchy dipped her upper body down to the floor, making her flanks stick out more, and giving her audience a glimpse of her marehood and rosebud.

However, it was only a small glimpse as she covered herself up with her long, curly, three-striped black tail. Sketchy smiled to herself when she heard a whine from Jinx and a small growl from Dusk, confirming that she had the two’s undivided attention.

Slowly, Sketchy moved back up with a small swing of her hips. She then turned around and started to walk to the bed, crossing her legs with each step. Sketchy toyed with the bedsheets for a moment, circling her hands on the golden sheets as if to tease her audience of two.

“Oh Mister Flare, can’t I join you two on this bed?” Sketchy asked in a smooth and low tone of voice as she moved her hands up towards the two, only to pull them back towards her. “It looks and feels so soft, and welcoming. A big, strong, hardworking half-breed wouldn’t let me be all by my lonesome self. Would he?”

Dusk leaned back against the headrest of the bed with a smile on his face, going along with his mare’s role-playing. “I don’t know,” he started in a small growl as he flexed out his wings and moving his hands around Jinx’s waist. “Jinx, what do you think? Should we let our showmare join us on our cloud?”

“Mm, oh that such a hard choice,” Jinx fakely mused, moving one of her hands to the side of Dusk’s face to gently crease the fur on his face. “It would be nice to be able to touch her, and…” Jinx was cut off by a sharp gasp when Dusk slipped his right hand in between her thighs, causing her to shiver in delight. “Oh how much I want to touch her right now. Why not, let’s have some fun with our showmare.”

A small smile formed on Sketchy’s lips, happy to hear that both of her lovers were into her role-playing fantasies. “Well Miss Showmare,” Dusk started, moving his left hand up Jinx’s body, and over her left breast, stopping to play with it for a moment. “Why don’t you continue the show up here?” Dusk mockingly asked as he invited Sketchy to join them on the bed with Jinx curling her finger towards them.

“That’s so kind of you, mister,” Sketchy purred before she started to crawl up on the bed on all fours, swinging her tail back and forth, making it look like she was excited. Which, she had to admit, she was. As Sketchy continued to make her way onto the bed in her seductive manner, she thought about all the times she’d wanted to do this. All the times she fantasized about seducing Dusk after he’d had a long day of work.

Old fashioned it may be, but it was still something that she’d wanted to do at some point. And now she was doing it in the crowning city of Equestria: Canterlot. A shiver of naughtiness shot up Sketchy’s spine at that last thought. “Oh Mister Flare,” Sketchy whispered after she’d gotten closer in between Dusk’s legs, trailing her fingers on Dusk’s legs before taking hold of his thighs. “Jinx and I have been so lonely without you around.”

“Yeah, so why don’t you let us make you feel good?” Jinx added in, sitting up from Dusk’s chest to turn her head his way so he could see her pouting look face. Dusk opened his mouth to answer the mare, but Jinx placed her hand over his lips. “Nooo, I don’t wanna hear it mister. You’ve been working way too hard again. So me and my ‘sister’ are going to treat you tonight. Right Sis?” Jinx giggled as she turned herself around to look at Sketchy.

“Yes, sister, let’s,” Sketchy giggled, while Dusk was still surprised how she could make a giggle like that sound so sexy. However, all thoughts ceased when he saw the two mares moving in for a kiss. The soft sounds of his mares’ lips smacking together filled Dusk’s ears as he was given a second show.

Sketchy quickly took lead in the kiss as she moved her hands to Jinx’s hips, swatting Dusk’s hands away in the process. Giggling could be heard coming from both mares as they continued to gently kiss each while their hands freely danced over the other’s body. Sketchy took her time moving her hands over Jinx’s body, her hands grazing her thighs before just faintly moving over her round flanks.

Jinx sighed softly from Sketchy’s hands exploring her body as she did the same, grabbing hold of Sketchy’s flanks to get her to jump and moan. Her quick squeeze was rewarded by Sketchy slapping her hand on Jinx’s flank, causing a loud sound to rip through the room followed by a moan from Jinx. The two soon started to exchange periodic slaps, pulling each other close to get their breasts to mash against each other.

As the two mares continued to lock lips, they soon felt their alpha’s shafts poking at their lower bodies with a warm trail of his seed leaking out from the tips. Both Jinx and Sketchy moved a hand towards the two shafts, each taking one for themselves and slowly stroking them in unison.

Low growls began coming from Dusk as his mares continued to rub their hands over his shafts, which almost seemed impatient themselves. Both of the girl’s marehoods clenched every time they felt another hot gob of Dusk’s precum come out of the dual shafts, making their knees feel a little weak. Sketchy was the first one to move, trailing her free hand to Jinx’s marehood to toy with Jinx’s outer walls.

“Mm...oh Sketchy~” Jinx moaned through the kiss a little as she moved her free hand to Sketchy’s flower to return the favor. The mare’s moans began growing in volume as they deepened the kissing. “I think Dusky is ready for his treat, don’t you sis?” Jinx asked through the kissing as she started to feel Dusk’s body heat up a little, along with fresh beads of his pre-cum coating her hand.

Pulling back from the kiss, Sketchy tilted her head back as she selfishly basked in her lover’s warmth for a moment before regaining control of herself. “Oh yes, and how does my little sister want to do that?” she asked as she began bucking her hips into Jinx’s fingers to quell the heat that was rising in her.

However, Sketchy’s pleasure was cut short by Jinx removing her hand from Sketchy’s marehood to take hold of the white mare’s flank. “Well, if you think you can follow my lead, then,” Jinx said as she removed herself from Sketchy altogether, placing her hands on either side of Dusk’s waist on the bed.

Sketchy went to whine about the mare’s sudden move, but Jinx hand silenced her with a sticky finger over her lips. “Ah-ah, showmares don’t complain. And~” Jinx went on, directing Sketchy’s head downwards towards Dusk’s twin shafts. “A real showmare performs all kinds of services.”

“Of course,” Sketchy said, eyeing the twin shafts as they throbbed heavily to the beat of Dusk’s heart. She had no problem with performing oral for Dusk, especially since equines didn’t have a gag-reflex. The problem came with doing it with Jinx. It hadn’t been long into their relationship before Sketchy really understood how attentive Jinx was when it came to stuff like that. “Shall we?”

Jinx decided not to verbally answer Sketchy as she moved to place one more kiss on Sketchy’s lips before moving back down to Dusk’s top shaft, sliding her flanks up towards Dusk’s face, using the strength in her arms to keep herself up. Following the mare’s lead, Sketchy slid back on to the bed to get ready to take Dusk’s lower shaft.

Catching onto what the mares were doing, Dusk moved his hands up around Jinx’s waist to keep her there. Yearning to touch his mares, Dusk started rubbing his hands over Jinx’s flanks, squeezing the plump, soft, flesh.

Jinx was sent in a fit of moans as Dusk continued to play with her flanks, quickly finding it hard to focus on keeping herself lifted up from Dusk’s delicious looking shafts. And when Dusk unleashed his long serpent-like tongue on her, Jinx nearly lost all will and self-control.

“C-come on Sketchy, le-let’s take care of Dusk,” Jinx moaned out loud, lowering herself down to take one of Dusk’s throbbing shafts, while Sketchy mirrored her for the lower one. The smell was heavy and purely intoxicating for the two mares; just breathing it in was enough to nearly make Jinx’s green eyes roll to the back of her head.

At nearly the same time, both mares opened their mouths, pressing their tongues against the meaty shafts and beginning to lick all around them. Just like before, a small rhythm was formed as Jinx went down, Sketchy went up, and vice versa. Every now and again, the two would meet up at the top to attempt to kiss each other around the twin heads, though it was a bit awkward.

Wanting his warmth inside of her, Jinx opened her mouth further to take the whole thing, from the tip down. Sketchy was caught off guard when the mare did this, quickly attempting to copy her, but struggling a little.

Dusk threw his head back in bliss from his mares’ quick and short bobs, easily telling the difference between them by the technique they used. Sketchy, naturally, took her time with her bobs, staying at the base of his bottom shaft for a moment to circle her tongue around it. Jinx wasn’t as slow as she bobbed her head like she was listening to a hard-rock song, easing her way down, and sucking her way back up.

The dual sensation was enough to get Dusk to emit a small line of smoke from his nose as he quickly approached a climax, trying to fight it off longer to enjoy the two different types of blowjobs.

While Jinx was working her hardest to make Dusk blow his load quickly, Sketchy was taking her time with his bottom shaft, aiming to milk him for all he was worth. And as she and Jinx continued their own blowjobs, their horns would periodically rub against each other, causing magical sparks to jolt through their bodies.

The two began moaning around Dusk’s shafts, making him growl at the vibrations that engulfed him. As the small sparks of magic started to get brighter, Jinx reached one of her hands inside of Dusk’s legs to toy with the aching sack in between his legs, coaxing more pre-cum to ooze out of his shafts.

Jinx let out a loud moan when she felt the tip of Dusk’s tongue prodding at the entrance to her soaking marehood, prompting her to think about what it would be like to have the whole thing moving freely inside of her. This thought was shared with Sketchy courtesy of the mental link they shared.

Sketchy’s blush somehow gotten darker as she closed her eyes to better see the image that was being passed onto her. Jinx’s thoughts got so lewd and steamy that Sketchy moved one of her hands underneath her to reach her soaking marehood. Sticking in two of her fingers, she began slowly moving them in a circular motion while she tried to focus on pleasing Dusk.

As Jinx continued to feed ideas into Sketchy’s head, the light-blue mare herself was feeling more than anxious to make the thoughts she was having a reality. Finally, one last thought entered her head that had even Sketchy’s toes curling. Both mares opened their eyes to confirm if the other had the same thought. When they saw that they did, they lowered their eyes as their horns began sparking a bright white.

Both mares began to add their magic in along with their bobbing, multiplying the pleasure they were giving and getting from Dusk, causing their marehoods to leak more of their juices out on the bed or their half-breed.

Sketchy increased the pace of her fingers, adding a third one and pumping away like a mad mare. Jinx was trying to get more of Dusk’s tongue by crossing her legs behind his head. She succeeded as she could start feeling Dusk’s tongue reach further in her leaking walls, touching against the most sensitive spots in her.

With the multiple and very pleasurable sensations going through his loins, Dusk was finally pushed off the edge as he let loose a massive roar, somewhat muffled by Jinx’s thighs around his head. Both mares were forced to shut their eyes close at the massive volume of steaming cum blasting inside of their mouths and straight down their throats.

For a bit, both mares kept the shafts buried deep in their throats, drinking as much of their lover’s seed as they could. However, Sketchy started to choke on the large volume as she was not prepared for it to be so much, forcing her to pull back while Jinx continued to greedily partake of Dusk’s seed.

After another three volleys of the thick cum, Jinx sucked her way back up the tip to milk out a few more beads of Dusk’s cum. She then moved to the drops that Sketchy hadn’t been able to finish, licking around the base with her tongue as she crawled off of Dusk and towards Sketchy.

Sketchy was already panting heavily, partially due to the prolonged blowjob she’d just given, and partially the stupid choice she’d made trying to swallow all of his hot seed. As she was desperately trying to catch her breath, Jinx suddenly grabbed Sketchy’s cheeks with her sticky hands. “J-Jinx, wh-what are you do-” The mare wasn’t given time to finish her question as Jinx placed a cum-filled kiss on Sketchy’s lips.

With her lips sealed by Jinx, Sketchy squealed as she was was forced to drink every drop of the cum that was in Jinx’s mouth along with the mare’s own saliva. To Sketchy, Dusk’s seed tasted somewhat sour. Like, candy sour.

Due to her not having fully recovered yet, Sketchy didn’t have the strength to fight Jinx off as she was pushed onto her back, Jinx following quickly, lips still sealed. Sketchy wasn’t sure how Jinx kept getting the upper hand on the her lately. Jinx, on the other hand, was loving sharing Dusk’s seed with her pack-sister, fighting tongues with Sketchy while savoring his lingering flavor.

While the mares continued to kiss one another, Dusk began recovering from his climax to see the two laying down exchanging kisses with one another. “Wow girls,” Dusk breathed out with a small ember of purple flames, still trying to wrap his head around how his mares were able to use their magic like that. “That. Was. Awesome, thanks.”

Dusk started to move off the head of the bed, snaking his way in between his two mares’ kissing, getting them to place one on his cheeks while his arms and wings trapped them underneath him.

Both Jinx and Sketchy nuzzled into Dusk’s neck as his hands traveled down their bodies. “But,” Dusk began with a playful growl as he took a handful of both of his mares’ flanks, causing them to whince and moan as his claws dug into their fur. “Next time warn me when you’re about to use magic,” he said, causing the color to drain from both Jinx and Sketchy. “Okay?”

“It wasn’t me, Jinx wanted to-”

“Oh don’t even, you had the same-”

Dusk silenced both mares by gently slapping their flanks, causing them to squeal a little. “Okay girls? A fair warning is all I’m asking,” Dusk said in a gentle voice, moving his hands from their flanks up to their backs. “I love and appreciate the both of you, but I do want to make you two feel good too, you know.”

Sketchy let out a small sigh as she moved her hands to the necklace Dusk had given them during their big date a few days ago, while Jinx pressed herself against Sketchy’s side to hide a little, both brightly blushing from Dusk’s words.

“We know Dusk,” Sketchy spoke as she moved her hands to Jinx’s blue and green mane to stroke its long length, fixing some of it as she continued. “We just wanted to take care of you for all the work you’ve done. That’s all you ever do for us, so we really wanted to do something for you.”

Dusk softly chuckled at the blushing mare as he brushed his hand over Sketchy’s cheek, moving some of her black mane out of the way. “Girls the fact that you two put up with me, and all the messes I find myself in,” Dusk slowly said as he moved down towards his mares’ ears to whisper, “is enough for me. I love you guys, and nothing will change that.”

Jinx suddenly wrapped her arms round Dusk’s neck and began peppering kisses on his cheek and jaw as she pulled him back down to the bed. There was nobody else that she’d rather spend her life with than the half-breed on top of her, and unicorn mare laying next to her. She didn’t need words to describe how she felt, it was her actions that showcased her feelings. That was her reason for trying so hard to make Dusk happy as often as she could.

“And we love you too, Dusk,” Sketchy said as she moved her hand around to the base of Dusk’s wings, pressing the tip of her middled finger down on the muscle, and moving it in a small circle to get Dusk humming in appreciation. “We care about you and we want to see you smile just as much you want to see us smile.”

Dusk relaxed further into his mares’ embrace, wanting to take this moment to simply sleep with his mares underneath his wings. That’s all he could ever-

Suddenly, the sound of angelic trance music started to come from the side of the room where the lovers’ clothes were placed during their teleportation. “Does anyone else hear that?” Jinx asked after she ended the affectionate kissing, looking up from Dusk and over to the side of the room in front of them. “Dusky, is that your phone?”

Dusk looked over towards the wall with the pile of clothes, only barely spotting his black jean shorts sticking out. “Mm...probably just Arctic calling to see where we are,” he murmured as he closed his eyes with a faint sigh to bask in his mares’ warmth. “Could one of you get it for me? I would, but my magic doesn’t work like that.”

“I got it,” Jinx said as her horn began glowing in a blue light, using a levitation spell to get Dusk’s cell-phone out of his jean’s pocket and bring it over to him. “Here you go Dusky. By the way, where did you get that new ring-tone? I like it.”

“Heh, yeah?” Dusk chuckled, reaching his hand up to the blue and purple edged phone. As Dusk brought the phone closer, he looked at the caller-ID screen on the front of it for a moment before shooting up from the bed. “Oh crap, crap, crap…” Slowly, as if Dusk was afraid to, he answered the still ringing cell-phone with a fearful, “H-hello?”

Both Sketchy and Jinx turned over to their backs, watching all the color drain from their lover. The only time they’d ever seen him like this was either when he was being yelled at by his mother, Sketchy, or...his eldest sister.

“Verdite, Verdite, would you stop your yelling al-” Dusk sighed as he pinched the bridge of his muzzle, being forced to listen to his oldest sister’s yelling. He knew that there was something he was forgetting, but he hadn’t been able to put it together. Until now, that was. “Okay, yes you got me, I did forget that you two were coming today. I was busy, what did you-”

Groaning, Dusk slid off the bed as his sister resumed her tyrannical yelling. Truth be told, it really was his fault, but he’d had a lot on his mind as of late. The date, the Elements, that evil unicorn still on the loose, and now the show with Vinyl that actually gave him a reason to be in Canterlot.

“Gee, thanks sis, I know you’re in the Nightmare Guard, and that you and Wave are being stationed here for a few months.” Unknown to Dusk, both of his mares sat up from the bed with looks of surprise on their faces. “Thank you for the late reminder… Look just tell me where I can find you two?”

Dusk started walking around the room as he nodded his head, trying to remember everything Verdite was telling him. “The both of you are at the castle? Good, I was heading there in a bit anyways… Business that I want to see end, that’s all.” Sitting at the foot of the bed, Dusk kept nodding his head as Verdite continued to tell him information, thankfully not yelling at him any more. “Yeah, yeah I know, I’ll fill you guys in on everything when I get there.”

Jinx and Sketchy began crawling on the bed towards Dusk, both taking a spot on either side of him as he continued to listen to Verdite. Seeing the bothered look on her love’s face, Jinx decided to make her presence known to Dusk by nudging her head against the back of his right arm.

“H-huh, yeah, yeah, I’m listening Ver,” Dusk said as looked back to see Jinx looking up to him with pleading eyes. All Dusk did was smile as he lifted his hand to let Jinx crawl into his lap, resting on top of his shafts. Sketchy moved to do the same thing as she shifted around to Dusk’s back, sitting up on her knees, wrapping her arms around Dusk’s neck.

Dusk stretched his wings out so Sketchy would have more room to rest her body on his while he began stroking Jinx’s hair. “Okay, everything’s been okay with us,” he said in a low tone of voice, sighing lightly. “Things have been a bit hectic, but we’ve been making it through. What about you two? Heard that Wave went up in rank a few weeks ago.”

As their lover took the time to speak with his sister, Jinx and Sketchy lightly lit their horns to open the mental link between them. Unsurprising to the other, both of them were confused and worried as to why a Nightmare and Lunar Guard were being stationed in Equestria, especially the only two related to Dusk.

“Alright Verdite, we’ll see you at the castle in a bit,” Dusk said with a long sigh as he got ready to hang up the phone, when his sister started to say something on the other side. “Yeah sis...I missed you too, talk to you later.” Dusk pressed on the red call-end button before lazily tossing the phone to his left side with another sigh leaving his lips.

Jinx voiced her worries through the mental link to Sketchy, saying they had to do something about the sadness that they heard in Dusk’s voice. “Dusk, is everything alright? Why are Wave and Verdite being stationed in Equestria?” Sketchy asked, burying herself in the crook of Dusk’s neck to her face against Dusk’s coarse fur.

“Huh? Oh y-yeah, everything is fine,” Dusk answered as he continued stroke Jinx’s hair, now moving his hand down to rub her back. “You know, aside from those unicorns out there. Nah, they’re here to assist in training the new batch of recruits for a while. And right after that they get some leave time, so we may see them more often after a few weeks...months.”

“But why did you sound so worried?” Jinx asked, brushing her fingers up Dusk’s chest as she nuzzled into the other side of Dusk’s neck, opposite Sketchy. “I would’ve thought that you would be happy to hear from your sisters again, but you didn’t sound like it, Dusk. We’re worried about you.”

Dusk smiled down at Jinx, moving his right hand on her stomach while his left was placed firmly on the top of her head. “Girls, I’m fine. Just disappointed in myself for forgetting that they’d be here,” he said with a nervous laugh. “It’s not every day that I hear from them, and I told myself I wouldn’t forget. But…”

“But nothing Dusk,” Sketchy said, sitting up further to bring her mouth over to Dusk’s ear as her hands moved down his chest. “Like we said before, you’re a hardworking half-breed that’s been doing too much of everything lately. You’re the one that keeps saying one must take care of their own. So stop worrying yourself about everything, and do so already.”

Dusk started to chuckle when Sketchy began nibbling on his ear while Jinx bucked her hips on his lap as she started rubbing her hands over his body. “Okay girls, if you two say so,” Dusk said, placing his hands on Jinx’s thighs as she tickled the fur on his neck with her tongue. He always found it hard to think when his mares were acting like this, and sometimes it was best just to go with it. “Come on, let’s get dressed. Much as I would prefer to stay here. Don’t want to keep them waiting.”

“Alright Dusk.”

“Okay Dusky.”

After the three lovers had freshened up, gotten dressed, and made their way through the streets of Canterlot, they stood in front of the Canterlot Castle for the first time. For each one, it was like seeing something from a children's fictional book come to life in front of them. Marble walls and floors, golden arches and Solar Guards around every corner.

For a moment, Dusk was worried that they wouldn’t be able to get inside of the castle, due to them not being nobles or somepony important. However, literally the moment the front guards saw Dusk, they began escorting him and his mares inside in a hurried manner.

When Dusk asked what was going on, one of the guards said that it had to do with something that they believed he could be of help with. However, the half-breed continued to question the two, even going as far as to force them to reveal the information.

“Alright, alright, it’s your sister!” the gray unicorn stallion exclaimed, shaking a little from the fear he was still feeling from this morning’s training exercise. “It happened so fast, I didn’t even see her move at all...what kind of magic is that anyway?”

“Forget about that, is the Republic really filled with half-breeds like that?” the other tan earth-pony stallion questioned with a wide-eyed expression on his face. He had seen combat before, but what Dusk’s sisters were able to do was unreal, and it made him wonder what the real firepower of the Republics was. “I’m so glad I wasn’t born there, I don’t think I would make it.”

Groaning, Dusk pinched the bridge of his muzzle and sighed a gray cloud of smoke. “Yeah, that would be my sisters alright,” he said, mostly to himself, before looking back up to the two guards. “Take me to ‘em.”

“Right this way,” the tan guard said, leading the group to the training hall where Dusk’s sisters had gathered all of the new recruits after they arrived early in the morning. Once they were at the door, Sketchy and Jinx reeled their heads back at the number of ponies laying on the floor around the door and the few doctors and nurses tending to their injuries.

Not paying it any attention, Dusk walked up to the white marble doors and started to push them open to enter the training hall. It looked like a battle zone, as the floor was littered with stone rubble, holes, and cracks lining the walls.

Dusk’s eyes, however, ignored the condition of the training hall, as he had them locked solely on the tall, forest-green, black underside, female half-breed with white stripes going down and around her back, with a purple collar around her neck. She was wearing a black and white tanktop, shorts that matched her black and white hair, with two dense black spikes sticking out from her white hair.

Dusk couldn’t help the smile that found its way on his face as he watched his eldest sister, Staff Sergeant Verdite Flare, gripping a new recruit, a large brown earth-pony stallion, by the collar of his white t-shirt. Yelling at him in a gruff voice, naturally.

Dusk noted that the full group of the Elements of Harmony were here, which was somewhat odd. Even odder, Applejack looked absolutely livid, and was being held in place by Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie.

“You think you’re worth anything!? Who’s the sorry excuse of a pony that gave you the idea that you’re tough enough for the military?!” Verdite shouted in the stallion’s face, bringing him closer to glare deeply into his eyes.

‘Ahh...the same tactics mom used on us,’ Dusk thought to himself, remembering all the times his own mother screamed in his face to get her point across. ‘I actually miss it, but only a little.’

“What do you have to say for yourself, colt?” Verdite questioned as the stallion looked for some way to escape her grasp. However, Dusk knew that wasn’t going to happen anytime soon. Earth-ponies may have an affinity regarding the earth, and the magic it has, but that didn’t compare to the greater connection dragons and diamond dogs had with it. “I’m waiting for an answer, and you don’t want to make me wait any longer than I already have.”

After realizing that he wouldn’t be getting out of the half-breed’s hold until she wanted him to, the stallion sighed in defeat. “Aah...Ah joined for muh family!” the stallion shouted at Verdite, taking everyone inside of the room by surprise at the bravery he had. “They were gonna lose thuh farm if Ah hadn’t. Do what ya want to with me, but Ah ain’t leaving, no matter what happens to me.”

There was a quiet and tense moment that came over the room as everyone waited to see what Verdite would do or say to the stallion. Their wait came to an end when Verdite let the stallion drop to the floor, laughing.

“So, you did this for your family, huh colt?” she questioned as the stallion got up to his shaky feet. Verdite looked into the stallion’s bright red eyes for a moment, seeing a determination that she’d only seen in the eyes of true soldiers she’d met before. “Well then, I got one thing to say to you.”

The stallion’s body visibly tensed up when he looked into Verdite’s bright purple eyes, feeling as if the earth was trying to swallow him alive. And when the half-breed started to reach her hand out to him, he feared that such a fate would have been preferable. However, that thought was banished when Verdite placed her hand on the stallion’s shoulder.

“Keep those balls of yours, recruit,” Verdite said in a calm, and raspy voice, a stony look on her face. “If you can manage that, then you might just make it through this. Now, help your comrades up off the floor,” she continued, pausing to turn towards Dusk. “I have a little brother to... talk to.”

All eyes turned towards Dusk as Verdite began walking towards him with a slight leer on her face. Without a word, Dusk started close the distance between him and Verdite, knowing he was going to get it either way. As they continued to get closer, the tension in the room started to rise once again.

By the time they had gotten face to face with each other, everyone in the room was on the tips of their toes. “Dusk,” Verdite spoke with blank tone in her voice, crossing her arms over her underneath her chest.

“Verdite,” Dusk said, returning his sister’s blank tone, and putting his hands in his black shorts. He was surprised that Verdite wasn’t beating his skull in right now. “I see you’re doing great.”

“And I see that you’re doing great with your mares,” Verdite said, glancing over towards Sketchy and Jinx who both had worried and concerned looks on their faces. She noted the new necklaces, but decided to not mention them for now. “We’ve missed you these last few years, haven’t we, Wave?”

Slowly coming around from behind Verdite was a short, midnight-blue half-breed, marked with the same white stripes as her sister. She had white tips on her ears, and a white strip going down the middle of her tail. Her wings were the same coloring as the rest of her fur, and they were currently held in close to her body.

She wore similar clothing to what Verdite did, the main difference was that her training pants went down to her ankles, like they were supposed to for a Lunar Guard. It took Dusk a moment to recognize the half-breed as his youngest sister, the youngest of all his siblings, Wave Flare. ‘She let her hair grow out all the way down to her back,’ Dusk thought. ‘That’s why I didn’t recognize her immediately’.

“Uh-huh,” Wave, an Air Sergeant, confirmed as she looked up to Dusk with her right eye, the other one hidden behind her white hair. “Things has been boring without you around,” she continued said as she toyed with a few strands of her long white hair with her fingers.

Dusk sighed out a laugh, counting himself in the clear of receiving a beating from Verdite. Yet, there was still a small voice in the back of his head warning him he wasn’t out of the clear. “Yeah, sorry for-”

Wave stopped Dusk from speaking by suddenly running up to him, and jumping at him to hug him around his midsection, burying her face in Dusk’s blue shirt. “I missed you, big brother,” Wave said with her hair covering her eyes as she tightened the grip she had around Dusk.

“Yeah, little sis,” Dusk started, placing his a hand on the top of Wave’s head while the other one went to her shoulder. “I miss you t-” Again, Dusk was cut off by Wave moving her clawed hand directly to the base of his wings, forcing them to expand outward fully as he let out a shout.

Dusk looked down to Wave to ask her why she was messing with the sensitive muscle, when he noticed that part in her hair had shifted to cover her right purple eye, revealing her white left eye. “We’ve missed you so much big brother…” Rogue--Wave’s alternate personality--said in a small growl. “Like how we missed you at the landing pad this morning, for three hours.” She emphasized the time by digging her claws in a little more into his wing-muscle.

“Ow, ow, ow! Rogue chill, chill!” Dusk said as he teleported a few feet out of his sister’s hold. Rogue was going to continue her ‘fun’ with her brother, but Verdite came up behind Rogue, moving her hair back over Rogue’s white eye.

Wave blinked a few times, a little embarrassed by her other half’s actions during the few moments Rogue was able to take control. “Uh, sorry big brother,” she said with a sheepish grin on her face as she rubbed the back of her head. “What happened while Rogue was in control?”

“Ah, nothing Wave,” Dusk said looking up at Verdite for a bit before walking back over to Wave to wrap his arm around her neck. “Ain’t nothing, little sis,” Dusk said as he rubbed the top of Wave’s head. “So how’s being a recruit trainer?”

Verdite let out a small sigh as Dusk and Wave continued to speak with each other. She had hoped that Wave would be able to get control of her separate personality after joining the military, but that had only seemed to encourage Rogue’s influence at times. ‘Maybe Commander Xia was right...maybe she just needs a little help.’

“U-uh, Sergeant Flare?” Verdite’s ears perked up at the sound of the same stallion from a few moments ago, turning around to find that he had a black and silver maned unicorn leaning against him. “Ma’am, I gotta know. Did ya go through thuh same thing when you were a recruit? And does every Republic soldier go through that?”

Verdite started to laugh a bit at the stallion’s question, knowing that it had to been on every Solar Guard’s mind since she and Wave showed up this morning. “What’s your name, colt?” Verdite asked, turning around to face the stallion. “Well soldier, I asked you a question, answer.”

“Uh, Armstrong ma’am. Armstrong J. Apple,” Armstrong said with a firm smile on his face as he lifted the tired unicorn further up onto him. “Ah used to be an apple farmer, but like Ah said, muh family would’ve likely lost thuh farm if Ah hadn’t joined.”

“Well, it’s like I said, keep those balls and brains of yours, and you’ll do just fine,” Verdite said as she turned back around to her siblings, seeing them speaking the head of the engineering department of the Solar Guard. “Now get that soldier checked out before getting everyone in your company back to their barracks. I want you to personally oversee it, you hear me farmer-boy?”

Armstrong gave Verdite a salute with his free arm before turning to help the other recruits trying to get up on their feet. After seeing the stallion off, Verdite walked over over to her siblings, giving a salute to Obsidian as he approached.

“At ease,” Obsidian said to the half-breed as he crossed his arms over his chest. “You know, you two have a ‘special’ way of breaking in the new recruits,” he went on to say as he looked between the two hound and dragon half-breeds. “That said, I have a feeling that you two will do them some good, but I’ll be helping you. Or better put, ‘keeping an eye on you.’”

“Word from higher up, I presume?” Verdite asked, knowing about the difference between the way Equestria's military operated and the way the Lunar Republic’s did. “Don’t worry full-blood, sir. We will try to not break these ponies...much.”

Sighing, Dusk shook his head at the cold tone in Verdite’s voice, but he figured that it came with the years she’d spent in the Nightmare Guard. Obsidian, however, didn’t want to interfere much with Verdite’s methods, knowing that it would help Equestria in the long run.

“Hah, right, guess that’s why I’m overseeing this…‘project,’” Obsidian said, waving his hand for the three half-breeds to follow him. “And since I’m overseeing this project, I have final say in everything. And I say that you two need to spend some time with your brother, understood?”

Wave’s mouth dropped open at the thought of being able to spend some time with elder brother already, with only a half day’s work in. “R-really, alpha sir? But I thought we had to stay and clean up everything,” Wave said as she looked back to the mess that had been caused by Verdite and Rogue. Well, in a sense, her as well. “Wouldn’t that be better to do first?”

“No,” Obsidian said bluntly, slightly turning his head back to look at the winged half-breed as they made their way over to the Elements of Harmony and Dusk’s mares. Obsidian noticed that Applejack had calmed herself down, and was no longer being held in place by her friends. “There’s a second reason why you two were specifically chosen for this position. I trust that your brother can fill you two in better than a mission briefing will. Isn’t that right, Resolve, the Element of Defiance?”

Verdite and Wave both raised their eyebrows as they looked at Dusk. They had heard rumors of a new type of Element that had popped up in Equestria, but the rumors had been vague at best. To hear that their own brother was this new Element was mostly a shock to them. They figured he would get himself in trouble at some point, but this was a new level of trouble, even for him.

‘So they do have a second reason for being here.’ Dusk was a little upset at Obsidian for letting the proverbial cat out of the bag, but he would have had to tell his sisters sooner or later regardless. “Yeah, I’ll get that done. Don’t you worry, Obsidian,” Dusk said as they came to a stop in front of the mares. “Hey guys, why don’t we take this to an after-party that’s happening in an hour?”

“An after-party?” Verdite questioned with a raised eyebrow, soon dismissing it since she knew Dusk was into things like that. “Right, an after-party. Alright then little brother, just give me and Wave a chance to freshen up.”

Dusk chuckled at Verdite, having thought the same thing. “Yeah, you two definitely need a bath. Nothing smells-”

Not liking where her brother was going, Verdite quickly kicked her foot into the back of Dusk’s knee, forcing him to fall on it as she wrapped her arm around his neck. “Little brother,” she started in a deathly low growl into Dusk’s ear, moving the tip of her tail around to Dusk’s face. “Sometimes I could pop that head right off your stupid, idiotic shoulders. You know that?”

“Nugh, y-yeah, and sometimes...grah, I deserve it,” Dusk choked out as Verdite continued to flex her arm around his neck in a choke-hold. The same that she had done when they were cubs. “I missed y-ya, sis.”

“Yeah I missed you too little brother,” Verdite said before she let Dusk go so he could get back up to his feet. “Now wait here while me and Wave shower, it shouldn’t take long,” Verdite said as she started to walk out of the training room with Wave following, almost skipping, close behind.

The moment his sister left the room, Dusk started to laugh as he rubbed his hands through his black hair. “Welp everyone,” he spoke with another laugh leaving his lips as he put his hands into his pockets. “Lived with the both of them for sixteen full years, and I love ’em to death. They’re my sisters.”
