The Next Day
My wives and I get up and get ready for the day. Mom has agreed to look after Mavis while me and my wives go out to the Spa in Canterlot.
We made arrangements to have the Spa all to ourselves for three hours today as they have no previous appointments for the next three days. I could really use a massage right now.
Silk Sheets was worried about me over the last few days I was out. I assured her that I was fine and she went about her chores feeling a bit better.
After breakfast, we head out into Canterlot towards the Spa in a carriage. I wanted to walk there with them but my body is still too sore to move around too much.
Luna and Shella sit besides me on the seat while Celestia sits on my lap nuzzling my cheek with a happy smile of her face. They've been really clingy since the battle.
The carriage comes to a stop and for once, they help me off the carriage... I grumble quietly, I really enjoy doing that for them myself.
We walk into the building and are greeted by three middle aged looking women. "Your Majesties! Welcome back to the Canterlot Oasis Spa... We see you've brought the King with you this time," the middle women greets us with a smile. She's a unicorn with sapphire blue fur and silvery white hair. Her eyes are a greenish gold colour.
The woman on the right is a pegasus with crimson red fur and orange hair. Her eyes are a deep blue.
The last woman is an earth pony with light green fur and light pink hair. Her eyes are a light purple colour.
Each of them has their hair done up into a bun with sticks crossed in them. They're wearing white dresses that hug their bodies nicely, showing their curves.
"We have and we need you to help loosen him up, he's very sore after the battle he's just been through," Celestia replies.
"Battle? We've heard nothing about any battles," the red woman says.
"We would think not, as it happened on another world," Luna tells her.
"A-Another world?" the light green woman asks stunned.
"Yes, Adrian's homeworld," Luna replies.
They stare at me for a few seconds and I raise an eyebrow at them.
"Oh! Where are our manners," the blue woman says. "My name is Shimmer Hooves. I take care of our customers hooves, fingernails, and horns." she tells me.
"My name is Firm Hands. I manage the massage tables and the saunas," the light green woman says.
"And I'm Scarlet Incense, I manage our supplies and get the baths and oils ready for our customers," the red woman tells me.
I bow slightly to them. "A pleasure to meet you ladies. My name is Adrian Stormsword, and for today, I place myself into your care," I tell them.
"Oh my, he's such a gentlecolt! Just like you told us, Celestia," Scarlet says. Firm Hands is smiling widely at me.
"Oh he is, I couldn't have asked for a better mate," Celestia replies and kisses my right cheek, making the women giggle. "Where is Golden Scroll? I thought he would be here today?" she asks them.
"Our husband has been called to Manehatten to sort out a mess at our Spa there. Apparently, one of our workers was caught rutting in the supply closet with a customer for some extra bits..." Shimmer Hooves tells her with a shake of her head.
"I see..." Celestia says.
Shimmer Hooves then claps her hands together. "But enough about us. What can we do for you, your Majesties?" she asks us.
"We'd like the full treatment please," Luna replies.
"Excellent, please follow us," Scarlet says and we follow them into the Spa. It's a lot bigger than Ponyville's Spa. Ten massage tables. ten mud baths, twenty lounge chairs, five vanity mirror desks, three saunas, male and female shower rooms, five hot tubs, and a door to a large pool.
"Please enter the Changing Rooms and pick a stall to change in, robes and towels of different sizes are available to choose from. When ready, please return here," Firm Hands tells us.
My wives go into the women's Changing Room and I walk over to the men's Changing Room. Before I could enter though, Celestia grabs my hand and pulls me into the woman's instead.
The spa women giggle and wait for us. Celestia drags me into a stall with her name on it and closes the door where she begins to undress and I blush. Once only down to her panties, she begins to take my clothes off with her hands while giggling softly. She undoes my shoelaces and pulls my shoes off one at a time with her magic. She then pulls down my trousers and then hugs me with a kiss.
She then trails the tips of her right fingers across the scar on my chest. "Can you help me put my robe on, my love?" she asks and turns around, showing me her curvy hips and backside. I tear my eyes away and look on the wall, a white robe with a golden trim and a cursive C embroidered on the left side of the chest hangs on a hook. I pick it up off the wall and open it up. I place it on her back where she slips her arms into the sleeves. I wrap my arms around her waist and lightly tie the belt around her pregnant stomach.
"Thank you," she says and takes a large white Towel off the wall and wraps it around my waist. "While Shella and Luna have their massage first, would you care to join me in the sauna?" she whispers to me seductively and licks my neck.
The way she said that makes me think of only one outcome to this...
She opens the door and drags me out. I'm pretty sure I'm close to having a nose bleed again.
We all then walk back into the Spa area. "We'll like to use the sauna while my sister and Shella have their massages first," Celestia tells them.
They all stare wide eyed at me, or at the scar on my chest I think. Firm Hands shakes her head and looks at Celestia. "Certainly, Celestia. Please follow me," she replies and leads us to the first sauna.
Celestia then leans towards Firm's ear. "Please make sure we're not disturbed for at least half an hour," she whispers to her.
Firm blushes and nodded quickly. "Of course, Celestia. I'll let my herd mates know as well," she replies and heads back to the others.
Celestia opens the door with her magic and pulls me inside. There's comfortable looking padded benches along the walls with a device in the middle, it's nothing like the Ponyville Spa one was. Celestia turns a dial on the machine and steam begins to come out of it.
She pushes me onto a bench and then unwraps her belt as her robe slips down her body and onto the floor. She pulls my towel away and straddles my lap with half lidded eyes, her stomach pressing into mine. "I've been feeling very... stressed, over the three days you've been asleep from worry and court duties, and I need you to help me relieve it," she tells me and starts kissing me. "Now you just relax and let me do the work," she says and starts trailing down.
Oh... there's that nose bleed.
POV: Luna
I watch as Tia takes Adrian into the sauna with a lustful expression. I can take a guess at what they'll be up to.
"My Queens, please follow us to the massage tables," Firm Hands tells us. I share a glance with Shella and she giggles.
We remove our robes and lay on top of a table each on our stomachs. Scarlet gets my favourite oil and hands it to Firm Hands who rubs it into her hands. She then starts to knead my shoulders and I sigh, that feels so good... I should get Adrian to learn how to do this.
"How did the King get that scar on his chest? Was it from the battle you mentioned?" Firm asks me.
"Nay, he received it months ago from some bandits who captured him," I reply. No need to go into detail about it though.
"I see," she says and continues the massage.
She moves down after a minute and massages around my wing joints. Firm Hands is one of the few ponies Tia and I allow to touch us there. I hum in content as the stress from the last three days just melts away. She then moves onto my waist and lower back as I let myself go limp from the relaxing massage.
I lazily glance at Shella to see her eyes rolled back and her wings fluttering as Scarlet massages her. I don't think she's ever had a professional massage before.
"Oh my, your skin feels so soft, I thought it would feel much harder," Scarlet says.
Shella tries to reply, but all that comes out is a garbled response with a moan as Scarlet starts on her lower back.
Firm then begins to massage my arms and I barely put enough effort into holding it up for her.
In the corner of my eye, I notice Shimmer walk over to the sauna. "It's been thirty minutes already," I hear her say to herself.
She opens the door and our ears are greeted with the sounds of wet slapping and Tia's moans as Shimmer quickly closes the door with a heavy blush. I just giggle and relax into the table as Firm starts on my other arm.
Shella seems to be coming back to her senses. "I can feel and taste the love coming from them," she mutters with a dopey smile.
I close my eyes and smile as well, just letting my worries float away.
POV: Adrian Stormsword
Twenty Minutes Later
Celestia and I step out of the sauna with our Towel and robe back on, using each other to keep ourselves balanced and upright. I think we got way too into that than we should have, I feel sore again.
I see Luna and Shella on a couple of lounge chairs as Firm and Scarlet guide us over to the tables. I notice they have light blushes on their faces... crap, I hope they didn't hear us. Luna and Shella then make their ways over to the second sauna.
Firm helps me up onto a table and removes my towel while Scarlet removes Celestia's robe and helps her onto some sort of half table half chair thing. Her chest rests against the forty-five degree angle table while she sits on a soft looking chair.
"What kind of table is that?" I ask.
"It's a massage table for pregnant mares. It's more comfortable for them and they don't put pressure onto their stomachs," Firm Hands tells me.
"Oh," I reply and groan as she begins on my shoulders. It hurts at first, but then dissolves into relief as my muscles mould into her hands like an artisan with clay.
"Wow. Your muscles are so tense, what did you fight? An ursa minor?" Firm asks as she squeezes my shoulders a bit harder.
I groan again. "How big is that?" I mumble.
"Just bigger than a small two story house," she tells me.
"Then what I fought was at least three times bigger," I reply and sigh.
She gasps. "You fought an ursa major!?" she asks with shock.
"No... Hmmmm, it was an undead giant," I tell her and roll my shoulders a little, they're already feeling better.
"Undead? You mean like a Zombie from those foal comics?" she asks.
"I guess so, a walking rotting corpse under the control of someone else. With some help, I had to pour all I had just to bring it down. It's why I'm in the state I am now," I tell her. I feel myself getting sleepy under the expert touch of Firm's hands. The last thing I hear is Celestia humming and giggling as I fall asleep.
Thirty Minutes Later
I'm gently awoken by Firm Hands as she lightly shakes me. "I have finished your massage, my King." she tells me.
I yawn and sit up on the side of the table as I stretch my arms and arch my back. I feel a few joints pop and groan in relief, the soreness almost gone.
"Thank you, I feel much better now," I reply and stand up. "So what's next?" I ask.
"You can relax on the chairs or take a dip in the hot tubs while we prepare the mud baths," Scarlet replies.
I notice Luna and Shella are out of the sauna now. A dip in a hot tub sounds good. "I'll take that dip," I say and walk over to the first bubbling tub.
"We've lowered the temperature so the heat won't affect Celestia's foal," Scarlet tells us.
I step into it and it's pleasantly warm. Luna, Shella, and Celestia get in and lean against my sides while Shella leans on my chest.
I sigh and let the bubbles do their thing as I relax with my wives cuddling up to me.
I wrap my arms around Celestia and Luna while stroking Celestia's stomach gently.
Two Hours Later
After a couple of hours. I feel refreshed and much better than before.
"Thank you for the wonderful time girls," Celestia says to the Spa women.
"You're welcome, your Majesties. Would you like to pay now or put it on your tab?" Shimmer asks.
Celestia's horn glows and a small pouch appears in her hand. "Now would be good," she replies and hands them the pouch. "Keep the change, think of it as a tip," she says and heads for the door. "We'll see you next time, and do say hello to Golden Scroll for us," she tells them.
"Thank you, Celestia. We will, you have a wonderful day now," Shimmer replies and they wave goodbye.
"So, what do you want to do?" I ask them as we get back into the carriage.
"We're starting to feel a bit hungry. Shall we visit the Golden Roast?" Luna replies and asks.
"Sounds good. I could do with a slice of cheesecake," Celestia says and licks her lips.
Luna tells the guards pulling the carriage to go to the Café and after a five minute trip, we arrive.
I help them off the carriage and we head inside. Once again Mocha is facing away from us making a drink for another customer.
It seems they installed a bell above the door as it rings out when we entered. "Just a moment please!" Mocha says. She turns around and hands the drink to the customer. "Here's your drink, sir," she says and looks our way. "Adrian! And your Majesties! Welcome back, it's been awhile," she says.
"Yes it has. How have you been?" I ask her.
"Oh, you know, business has been good. So what can I get for you today?" she replies and asks.
"I'll have an earl grey tea with a slice of apple pie and a blueberry muffin please," I order.
"Sure, and what would the Queens like?" she asks them.
They order a fruit salad with some tea. Celestia has a slice of cheesecake, Luna gets a few cookies and shella asks me for some of my love. She says the life energy is nice and all, but love tastes like the most sweetest chocolate when directed at the changeling themselves. As long as she only takes a little, it won't affect me negatively.
We talk for ten minutes while eating our lunch. Celestia said she went to the medical wing two days ago for a check up... and she has told me we'll be having a healthy earth pony boy. Although, he has a high amount of magic in him like an alicorn, but with my kind of magic signature.
I smile, I'm going to have a son? And he'll have my kind of magic? I so can't wait to start teaching him about Terran magic when he's older.
Shella told me that she'll need me to impregnate her again tonight, and that after this lot of eggs, she'll take a month to rest from laying. She then kisses me and I can feel something flow out from me and into her. After a couple of seconds she pulls back with a large blush on her face and half lidded eyes.
Luna says she's joining me in my training starting tomorrow. I smile, looking forward to it. I still need to prove I can match her in melee combat.
I pay the bill and we head to the Opera House next. For the next two hours we listen to music and enjoy each other's company. I see Lyra and Octavia playing again and wave down at them. Lyra spots me and waves back mid song and the conductor scolds her, she yelps and gets back to playing. We laugh a little at that.
After the concert. We leave and head back towards the castle, but Luna spots something out the window of the carriage that grabs her attention and makes her smile. A building with strange box like objects with sticks and buttons in front of a large pane of glass fill the interior.
We get out and I walk up to one of the box things. "What's this," I ask as I wiggle the stick. The glass lights up with the word pong written across it.
"Tis a game to entertain!" Luna says and sits on the left seat. "We have learnt of these during our return. We had little else to do for the first few months, we discovered these during a walk through the City and began to enjoy them. Come, sit. We shall show thee how it works," she tells me. I sit beside her and see we both have a stick and three buttons each. "This game is one of the more simpler ones. Thou use thy stick to move thy paddle up and down," she tells me and moves the stick. "The first button starts the game when both players press them, the second button uses any power ups thou gets, and the third button just makes thee surrender."
She pulls out a bit and puts it into a slot on the machine. The screen changes with a square line near the edge of the glass, two zeros are at the top of the glass with two vertical lines on each side of the screen inside the box. A vertical line splits the middle of the box as well.
"The aim of this game is to bounce the ball back at thy opponent's side and get it past them. The ball will get faster and faster with each bounce," she says. "If the ball hits a power up after thou bounced it back, thou will get the power up. We shall let thee figure out which does which," she tells me with a giggle.
We both press the first button and a number in the middle counts down from three and the game starts. The ball heads towards my paddle and I bounce it back. Luna raises hers up slightly as she hits the ball on the lower half of her paddle making it bounce down to my side. Huh so hitting it at an angle alters the direction the ball goes.
I lower my paddle and hit the ball halfway on the top half of my paddle, the ball bounces back to her side on the top of the screen. She bounces it down and the ball gets a bit faster. We continue to bat it back and forth and my ball hits a power up. It looks like a ball with a few arrows pointing up behind it.
I press my second button and the ball's speed picks up, Luna gasps and quickly moves her paddle, barely hitting the ball with the top of it. I raise an eyebrow as the ball starts to bounce off the top and bottom of the box towards my side. With the angle it's at, it will be hard to hit it back.
I adjust my paddle to where I think the ball will go and hit it with the lower half, the ball bounces back and she returns it. For another minute we continue and the ball is moving quiet fast now, but unfortunately for me, Luna seems to be better at this and the ball goes past my paddle.
"Huzzah!" she says and giggles. I smile and press the ready button.
We play a few more rounds where she won four and I won one. I look around at the other machines and notice each one has a different game on them.
"That was pretty fun. I'll have to come back and see what else is here sometime," I tell them.
"Yes, we will return and we shall defeat thee again!" Luna says with a grin. I smile seeing how happy she is right now.
Celestia and Shella were watching us with smiles of their own. "As amusing as that was to watch, we should be heading back to the Castle now," Celestia tells me.
I get up off my chair and we get back in the carriage. After a short trip, we're back at the Castle where we thank the guards for lugging us about.
Nine PM, Adrian's Room
After Dinner, we spent some time in the Castle's Garden just talking and planning on what we're going to do next. Celestia is going to meet Vortigan and discuss trade agreements between Reymorah and Equestria. Luna will be training with me in a couple of days after I've rested some more while Shella will look after Mavis and take over court for her first time.
Shella and I head back to our room where Celestia and Luna have given us some alone time.
"So... are you ready?" Shella asks me as she strips out of her dress.
I chuckle and take my clothes off as well. "Ready as I'll ever be," I reply.
She takes my hand and pulls me towards the bed. Just before we reach the bed, the doors open with a blushing Cadence.
"Cadence? What's the matter?" I ask her.
"Shiny's away in Reymorah right now looking over their weapons and armour and I need somepony to relieve me... You're the only one I would ask to help me," she tells me while rubbing her thighs together.
I look to Shella who just smiles warmly. "I don't mind," she says.
I look back to Cadence and see her smile as she walks in and closes the door, she then drops her nightgown and walks towards me with a sway in her step.
She gently pushes me onto the bed and gets on top of me. "I know you're still recovering from the battle with those orcs, so just lay back and let us do all the work," she tells me.
I don't think I'll get much sleep tonight.
