Author's Notes:

Warning male torture and ball cutting ahead! It's terrible but not in the bad situation way, but in the writing way. Anyways just decided to test the waters. Have a 'ball' everyone!

[While Trixie rested that night]

The ponies known as Ruby and Blaze walked down a tiled hallway. The walls were simple white with no feature on them aside from a few portraits of ponies, griffons, zerbas, and changelings. Each portrait was beautifully ornate and the ones being portrayed were all dressed like royalty. Down the hallway was a set of large doors flanked by two griffon guards who saluted the two and opened the doors for them.

Inside a mare was hard at work with papers at a large curved desk as two servant maid ponies tended to the room. They only stopping briefly to greet the two ponies who entered. The two siblings bowed to their older sister who simply ignored them until she finished working on a paper she'd signed. She placed the paper to the side and placed her hooves together on her desk. "Servants leave us." The servants stopped working, bowed politely and left without a word closing the doors behind them.

She stood up and walked over to her younger sister first inspecting a new eye patch she was wearing. Placing a hoof on her cheek she tilted Blaze's head to the side. "I see you recovered well blaze." she then walked over inspecting their brother Ruby. Seeing his genitalia fully intact she stood behind him. "And you too Ruby, you handled yourself well out there." she returned to her desk sitting on the edge in front of the others.

"Thank you Solarflare, you're too kind." he said lowering his head trying no to look at her. She grinned evilly at him walking over to a fire pit off to the side and placed the poker in the flames.

"You know what Ruby?" she asked rhetorically. "You're right." she stated walking over to her closet pulling out a type of stockade. It had two sections. The largest was a single piece of wood with a single hole in it with the latch down. It connected to a lower piece designed like a traditional stockade, this one however left the pony embarrassingly 'exposed'. She locked the wheels in front o the pit leaving enough room for her to maneuver about. The two younger ponies were clearly afraid of what was coming. Suddenly Solarflare called out to her guards. "Guards your master beckons you!" The two griffons stormed the room standing behind Ruby and Blaze.

Solarflare unlocked the stockade and pointed to her sister Blaze. "Restrain her and bring him." she pointed to Ruby.The two complied placing an anti magical ring on her horn as well as one on Ruby. Blaze struggled to break free but the griffon holding her was slightly stronger than her. She watched as the young stallion was strapped down in the stockade his head and fore legs low to the ground leaving his rear hanging fro the larger hole at the other end. "you know, you were lucky today Ruby. You could have bled to death had I not shown up when I did. That Trixie would have gutted you both for your incompetence." She then brought out a table with her magic along with a rolled up cloth.

Placing the table next to the rear of the stockade, she unrolled the cloth onto it revealing a various amount of tools. She levitated a curved scalpel inspecting it closely. "If I wasn't there, do you think Trixie would have shown you mercy after what you did?" she walked around to face Ruby. She looked into his eyes and saw nothing but absolute terror in the young stallions eyes. He shook his head back and forth averting his gaze. "That's what I thought."

"Solarflare what are you going to do to him?" demanded Blaze still restrained by the griffon guards.

"It's simple. He must learn the cost of failure." she walked behind him inspecting his genitalia placing the scalpel over it.

He struggled against his restraints trying to see what she was doing. "Please, bis sis, I'm sorry I failed to destroy that mare but I'll do better next time! I promise!" he cried desperately.

"Solarflare please it was my fault he failed! I neglected his training punish me instead!"

"NO!" Solarflare stomped the ground accidentally cutting the protective skin layer. "You always protect him, coddle him. He's not a colt anymore! If you treated him like the others he would have been just like them! Perfect! But you treat him like a child, now he's suffering for it! Well, if you won't teach him the price of failure, then I will." She then returned to carving out his renewed testicle. After cutting the skin round his testes she popped the right testicle out just before ripping it out of him. His sobbing and pleas carried on through the halls. It hurt him greatly to go through this, but Blaze found it impossible to remain composed as she watched.

Blood dripped on the floor as the testicle fell bouncing once, twice, and on the third it was crushed to oblivion by a heavy hoof stomping it. She then dragged her hoof across the ground leaving a red trail behind. Once satisfied she went for the poker and gave it a few methodical twists before revealing a hot orange tip. Ruby continued to beg and plead for it all to end, Blaze struggled to break free to protect him but was powerless to do so.

Solarflare took to poker, still hot ,and leaned into Ruby's ear so only he could hear. "I'm doing this for your own good." She stood up and spoke loud enough for everyone in the room to hear. "It's time you learned that not everything can be fix Ruby, both you and Blaze must learn this. I do this because I love you both. You'll thank me for this later." And with the precision and skill of a drunken monkey on drugs, she bought the poker down on him soldering his wound closed.

Screams of agony carried through the halls, everyone who heard knew that they were cries for mercy directed to the one pony they all knew would never show it.
