Author's Notes:

The Blood Moon Streaker By grey mane
Streaker(s) Anthro Princess Luna

It was a dark and somber night for most of Equestria as countless thousands slept, others either worked late into the evening, and some even partied the night way. A rare few however were busy making deals, deals in back allies were among some of the worst to be made as the guards would normally find lifeless bodies come morning. But for one small group however, their dark deal was not with some slimeball looking to scam somepony

Standing in a circle around a sigil inscribed upon the stone slab before them they chanted. A young adult earth pony mare, heavily drugged, had been chained bare to the slab unaware of her surroundings. Her eyes grew heavy as she sighed falling into a deep sleep.

As the chanting reached it’s end their leader began to raise a silver blade as he aimed between her plump breasts.

Attempting to stab the mare the chains binding her snapped as he grabbed his wrists, “That won’t be necessary.” Her eyes remained closed but her voice sounded as though two spoke at once, “Honestly you mortals and your rituals…” The mare scoffed as her eyes opened, “I prefer my hosts to be alive. A walking corpse can do so much in this world.”

As her eyes opened they saw how pitch black they had become, no longer the beautiful emerald green they had once been. Listening closely to the two voices they heard her sweet loving tone from before, accompanied by a second deeper tone too deep to be any stallion.

Walking over to a mirror the possessed mare examined herself, “My, my, you have found me quite the looker.” She cupped her firm breasts before slowly caressing her body, “It’s a good thing I reacted when I did, would have been such a waste to have ended its existence so soon.” She loved how perky her breasts were, how nice of hips she had with a nice full ass, “And a virgin to boot?” She proclaimed pressing her fingers into her lower lips with a chuckle.

The creature thought about how easy it would be to lure in such foolish mortals, offering them a little more than a touch for something far more valuable than a one night stand.

Turning around she raised her cupped hand into the air palm side up levitating their leader, “To what reason do you summon me, Akop, from the depths of Tartarus?”

The frightened stallion feared for his life yet tried to hide it as he cleared his throat, “We wish to strike a deal.”

Smiling she relaxed her wrist letting him drop to the ground, some heard popping as he landed, he thought his pelvis might have broken during the fall.

With a struggled gulp he fought against what pain he felt climbing to his hooves, “We believe the alicorns have ruled Equestria for far too long. But without the power to combat them we cannot take over.” Their leader began nodding to a cloaked mare on his left.

“So we chose to summon one who could rival or perhaps surpass them in power to aid us in gaining victory over them.”

Akop flicked her wrist slamming the two ponies into the wall, “You mean you wanted to enslave me to do what you could not.” Looking at the others she watched as they all slowly began to reach for weapons hidden beneath their cloaks.

Letting out a lion like growling roar the rest fell to the floor bound and restricted within their own clothes, “We wouldn’t dream of insulting a creature of such status or power!” The mare exclaimed as Akop seductively walked towards her.

Stripping the clothing off of her Akop pressed her face into the mare’s bosom, taking a deep breath as she dragged her nose up to the nape of the mare’s neck.

With a chuckle Akop hissed as she opened her mouth acting as though she would rip the flesh from her victim, “Then why do I smell so much fear coming from you?”

The mare began to whimper fearing her life would come to a painfully slow end, “We were hop-” The stallion began only to find he could not breath.

“If I wanted you to talk, I would have ripped off your sorry excuse for a cock and shoved it up your ass.” Returning to the mare she dragged her tongue from the nape of her neck and up into her mouth.

The mare wanted to cry out stop but found it impossible as Akop explored the depths of her mouth. Soon enough Akop stopped and snapped her fingers releasing everypony from her hold.

Sitting on the stone slab she rested her chin on one knee willingly showing off her slit tempting the mare before her, “Why don’t we start this over, why have you summoned me?”

The mare’s gaze slowly locked upon the bare slit before her unwilling to move up, “We wanted to bargain for the power to… to…”

Relaxing back on her hands Akop allowed what little light there was to accent off the curves of her body, “Perhaps you want something a little more than what they want.” Akop was more than willing to play the mare’s lust against herself, but as she looked around she saw a chance to claim more than just one soul.

Walking over to another pony she removed his robe unveiling one of the lesser members of the royal family. His appearance was strikingly similar to Prince Blueblood save for a few things, this stallion was a full foot shorter with mocha colored mane rather than blond.

Covering herself up Akop walked over to the mare and placed a hand on her cheek, “Why don’t you tell me what they want, and I’ll give you exactly what you need.” She gripped the mare’s breasts giving them a rough squeeze.

She moaned as she cried out, “They want the power to overthrow the two sisters…” Being allowed to fall to the floor the mare was panting heavily in arousal, “so we summoned you forth to strike a deal for that power.”

Turning towards the center of the room Akop snapped her fingers causing an image to appear before them, “Though such a feat is within my power there is a flaw with this.” They watched as the image of them prospering after conquering the throne soon turn to chaos and disaster, “The power granted unto all of you would only last up to two years, pending on if your bodies could handle such a surge. Others would die shortly after attempting even the tiniest of spells.”

Hearing fearful gasps Akop waved her hand dispersing the image, “Is there any other way we could have this power without these horrible effects?” The lust filled mare inquired unable to move, fearful that a single movement in her clothes would be enough to get herself off.

Bringing forth another image before them Akop gave a lust filled devilish grin, “In two days from now it is the blood moon, it is then that we will have a chance for a single spell.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For two days Akop explained the complexity of the spell and how it required this single phase of the moon to work. With each passing moment Akop would find a bit of time away from the cult, to tease and tempt the mare from before. Each new try she wore down the will of the mare drawing her in till the night finally came.

As Luna rose the moon into place, all their little group could see was a full moon. Secluded on a lower platform upon the mountain a single stallion paced back and forth annoyed at what he saw.

“How can this spell of yours work?” A stallion protested as he started to stretch forth his arm towards the moon, “This is just any normal moon.”

“But then why are there countless ponies down below as well as a few group in the city gathering for an event?” A mare inquired as she looked down below, “Do you even know what makes the moon turn blood red?”

When no answer was given Akop began to laugh at their ignorance, “The blood moon is a simple phase that happens when the earth sits perfectly between the sun and the moon.”

“And just how do you propose we get close enough to either of the Princesses?” The stallion shouted slamming his fist into a bolder cracking it.

Walking forth Akop started to chant summoning forth a dark vortex between her hands. The stallion stood there in fear for his life as Akop began to levitate off the ground. As Luna neared Canterlot, Akop thrust her hands into the air sending the spell flying at the unsuspecting Princess.

As the dark spell struck Luna it dissipated showing nothing remained, not even the Princess of the Night.

The small group whispered among themselves as Akop collapsed upon the ground exhausted from the overexertion of the spell, “Where did she go?” The young stallion of the royal family asked in a fear struck state, “You said that the spell would transfer her power to us in equal shares, not kill her.”

As he fell to his knees worried that Luna had died several ponies said it was far too late for such a thing. That he had to of known that this kind of outcome stood a chance of happening. Turning to run back up the jagged unstable steps to Canterlot he shouted that he would inform the guard, his movement brought to a halt as Akop clenched her fist causing his body to lock up.

“And just what do you think is that going to do?” She chuckled as the stench of his fear filled her nostrils, “Informing them of what we have done will only drag you down with us, after all just as much of her blood would be upon you as anypony else here.”

Soon all eyes were on Akop as the mare she had been seducing crawled up to her on all fours and asked, “What do you mean by ‘would be’ mistress Akop?”

“That she isn’t dead.” The small group of ponies began to mutter and whisper among themselves, “The spell has done what you want of it, but since we need her alive the spell dropped her off somewhere safe and sound.”

“And where would that just so happen to be?”

Akop shrugged her shoulders giving a nonchalant attitude as she looked out towards the slowly rising moon, “Don’t know, don’t care. My part of the bargain was to make it so that her powers could transfer to all of you evenly. And I’ve done just that.”

Curling her finger a few times her new submissive pet crawled towards her as she smiled. Akop knew they wanted more answers but choose not to give them for now, but rather enjoy the gentle breeze that passed through. Looking down at her little pet she smiled as she scratched her pet’s chin.

“For Luna’s power to transfer over to any of you, this little group must humiliate her in public. Only then when she’s at her most vulnerable will her power be transferable.” Before any of them could ask any further questions they heard a shout from down below causing countless birds to fly up into the sky, “Well, seems to me that you now know where to begin your search. Do what must be done, but be warned if she makes it back to the castle or lasts until sunrise then you fail.”

Akop gave a sinister smile as she slowly licked her lips. Everypony swallowed harshly as they watched Akop pick up her pet.

“But let’s be fair. Succeed or fail I’m the only one who wins.” Fading from their sight, her laughter sent bolts of fear through their bodies.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Returning to the castle after having raised the moon, Luna was ill prepared for the burst of dark magic that struck her. At first it felt as though her body went numb, then all at once she found herself falling into some water. The fall itself wasn’t as long, nor the impact as hard, as she assumed it to be.

A good sign that told her she had been teleported. By whom or for what reason she had yet to figure out. Finding her way to dry land all Luna could tell was she had ended up in a lake nearby.

As she walked upon the land she heard whispers and distinct chatter, turning around she saw a rather decent crowd of ponies. Many of the stallions began wolf whistling and cheering her on, many had started complimenting on how sexy her body was. For the moment she was ready to bask in their praises, as it had been so long to hear such pleasing words.

Her attention and love for the praises were soon brought short as a mare shouted, “I didn’t know the Princess could be such a slut.”

She was prepared to demand who had said such a thing as a cool breeze sent a chill across her body. Grasping her shoulders Luna felt her erect nipples on her forearms, for a moment she pondered if it was simply because her clothes were wet that she could feel them. Or if she was slightly exposed.

Before she could look at herself a young filly shouted out, “Why is the Princess naked?”

Looking down at her body she let out a shout that startled sleeping birds, attempting to cover herself Luna quickly found her wings would not budge from their resting position. Turning to run from the crowd her foot sank into the mud causing her to fall over. Slightly dazed from her fall Luna heard the faint sounds of cameras shuttering.

Looking back she not only saw the flashing of lights but her hind end propped up exposing far more than just her bare ass. She only struggled for a moment but once her foot was free of the mud she took off running into the forest. It wasn’t long before she could catch her breath, hiding behind a tree Luna could hear the faint hoof steps of the ponies from before searching for her.

Trying to remain hidden she stood there motionless as she heard a duo speaking to one another, “I can’t believe... how fast... she is.” One stallion claimed trying to catch his breath.

“Neither can I.” The second replied holding up his camera.

Peeking out from where she was Luna thought about how she could try and take the camera and remove the photo, “Why are you even out here, didn’t you get a good picture of her already?”

Pulling up the image Luna was somewhat relieved at what she saw, “You kidding? She may have been there long enough for the shot, but the focus is fucked up. I can’t get the damn thing to clear up regardless of the filters I use.”

As the two stallions took off in search of her, Luna let out a sigh knowing that the image was blurred. But her relief was short lived as she recalled there were countless there that had gotten a good view of her, and several still took a picture when they could.

Stepping away from the tree Luna almost shrieked in terror as she felt a pair of hands grope her breasts, “My, my, so much fuller than what my host has to offer.”

Quickly covering herself Luna turned around as she backed away from whomever had grabbed hold of her. Looking at the tree all she saw was a pair of hands reaching out, at first she thought she was delirious till those same hands started moving closer. Soon enough a mare stood before her cupping her own breasts only to then smack her own flank.

“I feel like I’ve been cheated, you’re breasts are a full two sizes fuller than this one. Not too mention you have quite the nice ass, and don’t get me started on those magnificent hips of yours.”

Looking at the mare Luna saw that she was an earth pony, at first she wanted to claim she was simply going crazy from her heart rate being elevated. Or that her fears had caused her to hallucinate and this pony had been there for some time. But nothing was adding up for her, why now did this mare chose to act?

As the sounds of hoof steps drew closer from all sides Luna watched as the mare simply snapped her fingers, “There a little privacy between the two of us.” Looking behind herself Luna saw a couple of stallions preparing to take pictures, yet they stood there motionless.

“What is going on here?” Luna was baffled staring at the ponies who had come to gawk at her bare features.

With a chuckle Luna’s attention was brought back to the mare in question, “They are frozen in time…” Shrugging her shoulders the mare kicked up a bit of dirt only for it to stop, “or rather I’ve slowed down time to a crawl. It’s a very complex spell that can take even the most dedicated of learners up to 50 lifetimes to master.”

Covering herself up as best she could Luna stared at the mare giving a faint sigh, “I thank you for your assistance. I promise to…”

Luna’s claims were cut short as the mare dropped to one knee holding her gut laughing, “I’m not... here to help you.” She struggle between laughs slowly calming down as she stood back up, “I’m simply here to benefit myself. Some foolish ponies sold their souls to me in exchange for your power, but what dark deal doesn’t come with its consequence?”

Slowly Luna’s jaw began to drop as her eyes widened in fear, “You’re a demon?” Trying to summon forth her magic only proved futile and raised her fears.

“That’s right, Akop is my name. But don’t worry Princess I’m not here to harm you, just to simply set the ground rules of this little game I’ve set up.”

Luna stood there dumbfounded as the flash of the camera behind her went off. The light from it had yet to fade from sight as her fears slowly set in.

Walking over Akop took the camera and shown Luna the blurred image of her bare back side, “What I told them was you needed to be mentally broken by them, in other words…” She gave a lust filled smile as she looked over Luna’s body, “public humiliation. If they can do that and get you to willingly turn over your alicorn status to them, then they get what they want. And in due time I get what I want.”

Looking at the blurred image in her hand Luna shook her head, “But that doesn’t explain what’s going on. Why me, and why is this image so distorted?”

“Quite simple really, you just happened to be in the right place at the right time. As for these images however, I had to get a little risky.” Holding out her hands Luna saw her fur was singed by dark magic, “The only ones who can get a clear picture of you are the ponies who sold me their soul. Now they have until either sun up or if you can get back to the castle, if either happens the spell that has your wings and magic bound fades and they fail.”

Looking at the slowly growing crowd around them, Luna turned her attention back to the mare noticing she had started opening her flannel shirt revealing nothing more than her bare chest and abs. Her breasts were covered by the edges of the shirt but even still Luna could see how firm they appeared.

“I’m not doing this for you sweetie, these young fools are going to want more. And so do I.” Licking her lips Akop motioned for Luna to get a head start, “After all it’s not every day a gal gets the opportunity of a lifetime, and let's face it they would willingly give their right nut for just a peek.”

Luna wanted to stay and try to keep them from the temptation of the demon, but what could she do? No magic, and bare as the day she was born, she hated to agree with such a dark creature. But Akop was right, their lust was their undoing.

Running as fast as she could Luna made it a rough 15 yards, only to freeze as she heard the flashing of cameras accompanied by cheers and wolf whistles. Looking around she saw it was the group that surrounded Akop. Her sigh was a mix of relief and worry.

Knowing there was nothing she could do Luna took off running, one arm across her breasts to keep them from bouncing. Hearing the sounds of voices in the distance Luna slowed her pace. Ducking behind trees and bushes she carefully neared the crowd to hear what they were talking about.

As luck would have it their attention was on the moon slowly turning red. Looking behind them she saw the tracks for the train leading up to Canterlot. The area around the tracks left nowhere to hide, and the forest offered little to try and cover her body with. Luna felt her only hope was to wait them out.

Leaning against the tree she tried to catch her breath only to hear the voice of a guard addressing a small group of ponies closest to her, “You’re sure that you haven’t heard anything about the pony in question?”

“Not a thing sir, in fact this is the first any of us have heard.” As she peeked around the tree Luna noticed the ponies talking to the guard either had cameras or camera phones at the read, “But perhaps we can be of even greater help if you told us a little more?”

Luna clenched her fists as she tapped the tree, “All we know is that somepony is running around…” The guard cleared his throat as he blushed thinking about the full details, “in less than accommodating attire.”

Luna let out a faint groan knowing that a guard was close by, but her issue was with the cameras and phones. Was this group the one who struck the deal, or simply just a curious bunch? She couldn’t tell.

Hoping to wait out the group questioning the guard she soon heard somepony whistle, “Hello sexy!” Looking to her left she saw the silhouette of a stallion reaching for something, “Hold still a moment for me.”

Turning her attention towards the guard she noticed he and the group started moving in her direction. Trying to run her foot became caught on a root popping up out of the ground tripping her as she let out a light shout. As she fell over Luna looked back only to see the silhouette was gone, but the guard and the group was slowly drawing closer.

Knowing she had already been spotted Luna crawled to her hooves before running as fast as she could. It wasn’t long before she came bursting out of the tree lines as a train came passing by. The passengers passed by far too quickly to notice Luna standing there in the buff looking for a place to hide.

Looking back she noticed faint movements slowly coming closer to her. As the last of the train came to an end she felt the warm embrace of somepony.

“Funny how your mind plays tricks on you.” Slipping out of her grasp Luna stood there unsure of what to think, “Add a simple ventriloquist trick and you give yourself away for them to see. You must really want them to get a good view.”

“Akop is it?” Luna took a few small steps back hoping she wouldn’t be seen or the demon wouldn’t notice her trying to leave, “Why do you do this? Before you added me in escaping one group, and how here you are drawing one towards me. So why?”

She shrugged her shoulder as she let out a chuckle, “I said it before, I’m doing this for my own benefit. Make it or don’t I don’t give a shit, but that’s not going to stop me from having a bit of fun.” Looking down at Luna’s hooves Akop moved a stone behind Luna as she turned and shouted, “I’ve found the streaker over here!”

Attempting to make a break for it Luna found herself falling back. Slightly dazed she barely made out her legs spread out before her exposing her slit. As her vision came into focus she saw the flash of a camera.

Forgoing covering herself Luna turned over rushing to get back on her hooves, only to notice a few more flashes at her exposed ass. As she took off running Luna heard several wolf whistles and cheering followed by a guard demanding she stopped. The last thing Luna wanted to do was take chances with whom she could and couldn’t trust, not after what Akop told her as well as put her through thus far.

Running as far as she could Luna soon found herself cornered in a small segment of the mountain, curling up with her knees pressing against her breasts Luna prepared for the worst to come.

As she sat there waiting as the voices grew closer she soon felt arms wrap around her, ‘Don’t make a sound.’ A stallion’s voice whispered to her.

Looking around herself she noticed he was hunched over her, his cloak covering their bodies.

Seeing his shadow being cast she feared they would be caught, “Do you see anything over there?”

Luna heard from a pony that was chasing after her only for the guard to reply, “Just the side of the mountain, whomever she was she clearly didn’t come this way.” As the guard walked away Luna tried to listen in, “Did you get a good photo of whom they may be?”

“Nah, this camera is a thousand bit piece of shit. I don’t know why I paid for it.”

“May want to see about getting your bits back.”

“I would if it wasn’t passed the 30 day return policy.” He scoffed at the blurred image, “Go figure huh? Works great for the duration of a month, then once it’s over the camera is nothing but crap.”

Hearing them chatter Luna let out a faint sigh of relief knowing that hidden like she was allowed her to hide out till dawn. Sadly her moment of relief was short lived as she felt the stallion’s hand moving near her flank. She didn’t want to be caught by the group from before, but at the same time she didn’t like what he was attempting.

Looking up at him she gave a stern displeased look, but she couldn’t make out his expression at all. Oddly enough she noticed it wasn’t his fingers touching her flank but his knuckles, as though he was searching for something. As his hand moved under her she felt something press up against her leg as he gulped trying to hide how nervous he felt.

Before she could let out any tone to show how put off she was becoming, Luna felt his hand snatch something off the ground. Luna could only feel his arms move tighter around her as he began to move. Looking behind herself Luna let out a shriek fearful that this stallion was out of his mind charging the side of the mountain.

Once he had stopped once again Luna heard him let out a faint ssh as he looked back from where they came. Looking back she watched as the guard came walking back with a dumbfounded look upon his face.

“What…” The stallion further back called towards him, “think you saw something?”

As the guard reached out Luna watched as his hand touched something and slowly followed it around, “I must be getting tired. For a second I thought I saw a cave entrance.” Turning away from them Luna listened to their conversation, “Did you happen to see who it could be?”

“Damnedest thing really.” The stallion started off rubbing the back of his neck hoping the guard wouldn’t take action against him, “I could have sworn it was Princess Luna running around naked.”

The guard burst into laughter at the mere thought that it could have been her. Luna let out a sigh at the thought that she escaped one issue but her overall problem still stood.

Hearing the sounds of two stones striking against each other Luna was faintly blinded by the start of a torch, “Don’t worry about them, that wall acts like a two way mirror. We can see them, but they can’t see us.” As the stallion turned back to make sure she was alright his eyes slowly drifted down, “So… uh…” Clearing his throat the stallion turned his back to Luna as she glared at him, “how did you…”

Luna groaned as the feel of his knuckles still felt fresh on her flank, “Still thinking about the amount of luck you just happen to have come across?” Though his back was turned to her Luna still covered her marehood and breasts in the event he looked back at her.

“Luck no.” He chuckled trying not to look back at her, “A beautiful mare threatening to kill me only to have a change of heart, now that is luck. A naked goddess on the doorstep to my home, I must have done something right.”

Though the moment between them was awkward Luna couldn’t help but drop to one knee laughing at his statement, “You think I’m a goddess?”

The stallion stood there blushing as he thought about it for a moment, “Well a few other things popped up in my mind…” Looking back to ensure he hadn’t lost her in the wineding passages of the cave he quickly returned his focus forward, “like why is said goddess as bare as a newborn foal?”

Walking through the caverns Luna explained how she had been targeted by a demon for a cult. The only reason she was targeted first was simply because she was outside of Canterlot raising the moon. Traveling further and further into the mountain their conversation went back and forth, his questions and her answers echoing off the walls.

Every so often he would look back to ensure she was still there only to blush at her bare appearance. Once in awhile he would reach back hoping to grab hold of her shoulder, warning about being careful where she stepped. His hand however didn’t grab her shoulder and his reward for warning her was a swift punch to his face.

Luna began to ponder if his hand coming back at the moments she chose to relax her arms, stretching them to relieve some tension within them. Were timed out by him so he could get a quick feel of her breast. After a few times this happened she slowly started to feel his fingers upon her fur as though his hand were still there.

She blushed at the thought of letting him caress them but quickly through the thought out of her mind.

Stopping once more he turned back to pick Luna up as though he were carrying a young filly, “The stone walk up ahead has an old enchantment on it. If we take too long crossing, it will crumble under us.”

Luna couldn’t feel much other than the wind rushing past her head as the stallion darted across the brittle bridge. Looking back at the stone passage Luna noticed the stone walk was as thin as a sheet of paper, it shouldn’t have supported either of them as they first passed over it. Looking around Luna also noticed a few other passages that led to their current location.

As far into the cave system as they were Luna expected it to be pitch black. Setting her back on her hooves he walked further in.

“So you said that you were targeted simply because of where you were, anything else you may have left out that could shed some light on how you came to be…” Turning around he stared at her uncovered bare appearance only to quickly turn back round as he blushed, “in your current state of affairs?”

Realizing what he had seen Luna quickly covered herself while trying to stifle a giggle at his embarrassment, “Well as you know I was informed that I was targeted first simply because I was unguarded, but the one who informed me was a demon who went by the name Akop.”

Hearing the stallion groan at the mention of that name Luan asked if he had crossed paths with this demon once before, “I haven’t, but that doesn’t mean others have. For now let us just worry about getting you to the castle safely.”

Pulling a few books off the shelves and maps out of their holes, Luna watched as he started plotting the best route to get them to the castle unseen.

Among the books he pulled down Luna noticed one labeled ‘Demonic Curses’, “Does this book have any means to lift the curse on me?”

Opening the book Luna began searching for something to help herself. As she searched its contents the stallion continued to look at the maps of the crystal caverns, and the streets of canterlot. Soon his eyes became locked on Luna’s breasts resting on the table.

Taking his eyes off of her, he walked to the far end of the cave he called home, “Before we try anything else.” His voice was shaky as the view of her wonderful breasts sat fresh in his mind, “Let’s get you a little something to wear.”

Looking down at herself Luna blushed having realized he had a good eye full. Covering her breasts and marehood she turned her back to him knowing her tail covered most of her ass.

Feeling something come over her shoulders Luna clutched the cloak, “Sorry it’s not much, but it’s all I have at the moment.”

Thanking him Luna returned her attention to the book, “So this lists several curses demons have used over the years, and how to counter them. Why haven’t I seen a book like this in the castle library, or even in my sister’s personal archives?”

Flipping a few pages he pointed to a counter to one curse, “Because this is ritualistic dark magic. To remove the curse something else has to take it. Somepony else, a bear, the land, you name it.” Closing the book he took it and placed it back on the shelve, “And I’ve gone over this book thousands of times, the curse you’ve been struck with isn’t mentioned. And I think it’s because this is one they don’t have much of a use for.”

Going back over the maps he groaned. Luna saw the same problems he did, one path kept her out of sight but led through some of the worst parts of Canterlot. Others would get her close to the castle, but the exits were close to the party district and there was no telling what could happen.

Pointing at the map he sighed, “This is our only best option.” The location was near the shopping district, a rough two miles if they took the main streets.

But she knew he didn’t plan on the streets. The winding paths of the allies would grant her better protection, while also keeping her out of sight of the public. The only issue he had with this was a single brush that covered the exit, one wrong move and the cloak Luna wore could be caught.

Looking at the map of the area he chuckled, “From the way it’s looking we would have to backtrack half a mile before we can make our way to the castle. That way even if that cloak comes off you stand less of a chance to being seen.”

Luna didn’t like the idea of taking longer than she had to, but if anypony could get her back to the castle unnoticed it was him.

Walking towards the crystal caverns Luna paused for a moment as he looked at a chemistry set, “What brings you so close to Canterlot, normally you stay as far away from here as possible.”

Looking back he cupped his hand making a groping gesture, “Sightseeing.” Luna rolled her eyes as he chuckled, “The truth is I’ve run out of sleeping powder, so I’ve come back home to make some and restock on a few other items.”

Watching his nimble fingers pull a lock pick out of thin air she chuckled at his antics, “I swear, sometimes I can’t recall if you’re a stage performer or a thief.”

In the same fashion he drew the pick it vanished leaving only his wiggling fingers, “Would you like a more hands on approach to my pickpocket skills, just to feel how sticky my fingers can be?”

Their laughter echoed in the crystal caverns only for Luna to stop and think back to when he first arrived, “You were feeling me up back there weren't you?”

Gripping his chest he fell over acting as though he had been stabbed, “My dear sweet Princess I’m shocked. I have more honor and class than that.” Rising to his hooves he slipped behind her and wrapped his arms across her chest taking hold of her arms, “Though don’t get me wrong you are a very beautiful mare.”

Luna let out a sarcastic sigh as she walked out of his grasp, “So then what were you doing with your hand back there?”

Picking up a small rock he walked over to a solid wall and began drawing, “I was drawing a rune similar to this one.” Slowly it began to glow and the wall itself began to vanish, “The one I used when I first found you can only nullify a single enchantment for as long as it’s in place. Once the entrance was open I cleared the marking with my hoof as I stepped on it, once the rune was gone the wall returned and they were none the wiser.”

Walking up to where the wall once stood Luna reached out and felt the hard cold surface, “I didn’t think anypony still practiced this kind of magic.”

As her hand passed over the rune she unknowingly brushed off a segment causing the wall to reappear, “I practice it simply because it has its uses, but with the hazards that come with it.” He groaned thinking about the mistakes he made in the past with one extra line, or a single slip of his hand, “I wouldn’t recommend teaching it to anypony who’s not willing to be cautious of what they are doing.”

Following him Luna tried to keep her eyes on him as the cavern slowly became darker. Before long she felt herself being lifted up and moved, once she was set down the stallion whispered to remain quite.

“Princess I know you’re down here, I just want to talk.” Hearing the snap of fingers the cave began to slowly illuminate, “Come on it’s no use hiding I can smell your…” Pausing for a moment Akop began to scratch her head, “musky... stallion… stallion like… wait did I lose her?”

Tapping her shoulder the stallion pointed towards a path hidden by a set of crystals. As Luna vanished behind the crystals the stallion moved behind Akop.

Pulling the rock from earlier out he began drawing a sigil on one of the walls. Slowly Akop sniffed around searching for Luna, trying to find her scent hidden under the stallion.

“Come on Princess I only want to talk, there’s no need to hide yourself like this.” Stopping for a moment Akop let out a lust filled hmm, “Unless this is your new scent for a while, did some stallion get lucky? Did you let him ravish you, or did he just happen to have his…” In the middle of her taunt she soon found she couldn’t move.

“Neither.” The stallion dropped from above and walked over to Akop, “This is my home, my scent is in every nook and cranny from years of running around. I made sure I no pony…” He scoffed as he walked past Akop, “and clearly demon, could notice me moving around.”

Walking towards Luna he waved her to keep moving while the demon had eyes on him, “Surely you wouldn’t leave a sexy mare like me here would you?”

“Of course not…” He started to say turning to look back as he walked backwards, “if you could point me in the direction of one I’ll go help her.” Shrugging his shoulders he turned back round and continued on his way.

As he started to laugh Akop snarled and sneered, “I WILL DEVOUR YOUR SOUL!”

“Is that going to be before or after I’ve made you my bitch?”

Turning a corner he saw Luna’s worried expression, “Are you sure it’s wise to mock her like that?”

“They’re not going anywhere I don’t want them too. Once you're safe I’ll come back and deal with it.” Seeing Luna’s puzzled expression he waved his hand, “She’s possessed by a demon, as to the gender of the demon I don’t know. So we shall call them ‘Cousin Itt’ for the time being.”

Seeing the stupid grin make its way across his face Luna sighed as she shook her head, “I can’t tell if you are joking or being serious. What if she get’s free.”

“Impossible, not so long as that sigil remains in place. With it up she’s bound unable to move or do anything more than talk.” Guiding Luna to the exit of choice he explained that for the moment Akop was similar to a dog without its teeth, all bark and no bite.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It wasn’t long till they found themselves peeking out from the hole beneath the bush. Looking around the stallion groaned at what he saw. The moon had returned to normal but the events of the evening were still in full swing.

While some ponies were out just to watch the moon turn into its crimson color, far more were out to enjoy the nightlife. Bars, night clubs, even a few restaurants and cafes all open for the evening tending to those who stayed out even past the changing of the moon. He was prepared to keep Luna out of sight from a few ponies not an entire district filled to the brim with life.

Crawling out first he held the branches of the bush up for Luna to slip out unnoticed. Ducking behind a building her heart raced as he soon followed.

“Okay so a minor setback.” Pulling the hood of Luna’s cloak over her head he soon did the same for himself as he looked around the opposing end of the building, “Alright there’s an opening in the crowd coming up. A few guards walking around but not enough to notice too much, passed all of them is the alleyway we need.”

Looking back at Luna he saw her gaze was upon her hooves in the dirt. Reaching into her cloak he took hold of her hand. He couldn’t promise somepony wouldn’t try to follow them, but as she looked at his smile she gave him what little hope she had.

Following him closely she watched as he bent his knees watching for the moment they wanted. As the crowd opened up they took off as fast as they could, low to the ground he remained unnoticed by several. The few that did notice him were too drunk to care or thought they were seeing things.

Trying to keep up with him Luna raced through the opening in the crowd only to find herself being jerked back. As she fell she lost sight of the stallion, looking around she found herself upon her back exposed to the drunken crowd of ponies. Quickly standing up she covered herself in the cloak hoping nopony noticed.

Walking towards the alley she heard a familiar voice call out, “What are you hiding under there?”

Before she knew who it was the cloak was gone, lost among the crowd and Luna stood there frozen trying to cover herself.

Trying to walk towards the alley she heard the same familiar voice call out, “Check it out Princess Luna is streaking!”

As her heart began to sank time seemed to slow down as stallions and mares began to turn and look towards her. Back against the wall she wanted to use the Royal Canterlot Voice to make many of the drunk onlookers fall over. But she knew it would only draw more attention to herself.

Slowly she started to slide to the ground hoping to disappear. As the the crowd slowly started in on her she saw their phones and cameras slowly coming out. Several of the drunks began to cheer.

“Looking good.”

“Hot damn I didn’t know she was such a slut.”

“Hey sexy care to give us a view?”

Hoping she could scoot her way into the alley she wondered where the stallion she was following had gone. Or if he had simply stopped caring about her.

Closing her eyes she hoped one of the guards would come to her aid till she heard the same familiar voice from the crowd, “She seems a little camera shy…” Opening her eyes she looked around to see if she could find them only for her fears to slowly reach newer heights, “let’s help her with that shall we?” Looking around at them tears slowly started to form, “Spread her out, let everyone see everything!”

A few of the stallions in the crowd cheered in agreement as they began to reach for her, in fear she closed her eyes hoping they would see their actions were wrong. Before anypony could touch her she heard the first flash go off. Hearing the crowd boo, hiss, and let out their complaints she opened her eyes to find herself covered by the stallion she was following.

“Sorry I’m late, the crowd moved in faster than I thought.” Picking her up he hugged the wall as he ran off into the alley.

As he ran carrying Luna the crowd followed him into the darkened back paths trying to keep up. Many fell over vomiting unable to keep down their alcohol from their sudden chase. Taking unwanted turns he slowly lost the crowd allowing him to set Luna down upon her hooves.

Removing his own cloak he wrapped her in it only to receive a slap across his face. Looking into her eyes he saw fear, worry, and embarrassment. He stood there as she started to pound away at his chest, tears wetting her fur as she buried her face into his chest.

Holding her they stood there unable to say anything. He knew there was nothing he could say, and she knew that even he wasn’t able to be everywhere at once. But still her safety was in his care and already he had failed, their only bit of luck was the crowd was drunk and their word was untrustworthy to the guards.

Finding a discarded candle he pulled out a flint stone and some steel, after a few attempts they had a little light. Walking around they came across a homeless colt trying to steal himself a meal.

Pulling him back the stallion held out a bag full of bits, “Here’s the deal, this bag is yours for a bit of information.” Pointing behind himself towards Luna trying to hide under the hood of the cloak, the young colt saw she had barely stopped crying.

“I don’t know where you and your whore can bump uglies for the night.” Looking around he outstretched his arm, “Why don’t you just plow her right here? After all this is the cleanest she’s going to-”

Before the colt could finish the stallion lightly struck his head, “She’s not a whore, I’m trying to get her back to the castle where she will be safe.” Dangling the bag before the colt’s eyes he tucked the bag away, “Let’s try this again, the bag is yours for some information. How far are we, and what’s the fastest unseen route there?”

Guiding the stallion to the edge of the alley the colt pointed to the castle, “You couldn’t be further from the castle unless you left Canterlot. And the fastest unseen route, good luck with that. It could take half a day using the alleyways from here.”

Groaning he gave the colt the bag of bits, “Crime doesn’t pay kid, try the strait and narrow some time.”

As the colt ran off Luna faintly raised an eyebrow at him, “Crime doesn’t pay…” She let out a faint giggle, “this coming from a thief like you?”

He shrugged his shoulders, “Tomato, tomahto. Potato, potahto. I’m just trying to keep somepony from having to scrounge while looking over their shoulder.”

Thinking about it a little more Luna couldn’t help but laugh, “And I just bet you would make a decent parent.”

Finding herself wrapped in one of his arms with one finger curled under her chin she blushed, “Well, we have time. I’m sure I can find us a better place to make that happen.” Dropping to her knees laughing the stallion stood there baffled, “What? What did I say?”

Gasping for air Luna tried to talk, “Is that… your idea… of courtship?”

Blushing as he grunted while rubbing the back of his head the stallion let out a sigh, “Well can’t blame me for trying to lighten the mood.” As Luna started to calm down she saw him leaning against the wall as he looked around the main street, “Don’t get me wrong you are a very beautiful mare… but I suppose you’re right, it would never work out between the two of us.”

Slowly he walked out into the dim empty street, his only light coming from the moon as he had left the candle with Luna. Faintly he gestured to Luna to come out.

“Are you sure this is the best idea?”

Standing there he closed his eyes and slowed his breathing. In the distance he could hear the faint sounds of parties, and ponies enjoying themselves.

Nodding he sighed, “Normally I don’t travel this out in the open, but since we need to get you to the castle as soon as possible the main streets are the best option for now.”

Calmly they walked passed the vacant stalls and closed shops. Each of them marked to open one hour after the sun had risen, some marked to open two hours after.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Carefully walking the empty streets avoiding the bright lights and sounds of laughter mixed with music. Luna began to smile seeing how close they had come to the castle. Taking off sprinting hoping to end this night she soon found herself being pulled into the shadows, and her mouth covered by the stallion whom had been helping her thus far.

Trying to escape his hold he let out a faint ‘shh’ as he nudged his head pointing out something she almost missed.

Looking around the corner she saw one of the royal family members talking to a couple of guards, with the slowly dying festivities passed them about a block down the street, “I’m telling you it was Princess Luna running around as bare as the day she was born.”

Luna recognised the voice from before when the crowd of drunks began to move in on her, “Sir if what you say is true then she is clearly in some kind of danger. I highly doubt that somepony of her stature would willingly roam around in less than formal clothing for…” The guard paused as he blushed imagining Luna naked only to clear his throat, “entertainment… reasons?” He tried to keep from calling her a slut but few words made her seem innocent in the situation.

As Luna and her savor looked around the corner, they watched as the young prince pulled out his phone and flipped through his pictures.

Stopping at an image of Luna they both noticed it was clear as day, “Oh no.” Luna whispered seeing that she was on her back legs spread baring all.

“I have photographic proof that it was her, and that she’s enjoying it.” The prince claimed turning the image to the guards.

Their wings poofed out into wing boners seeing Luna’s royal privates, “Huh… well this… is certainly a change to the matter.” The guard claimed trying to contain his excitement.

Luna gripped the cloak tighter unsure of what to do, “I was afraid I would have to stick my neck out.” The stallion whispered as he began to undress.

Passing his shirt and pants to Luna he stood there in his underwear, “What are you doing?” Luna inquired as she blushed trying to cover her eyes.

“Giving you a chance to run for it. Put on my clothes and make your way to the castle.” Inching his way to the corner of the building he stared at the phone, “I’m going to do what I can to save you this embarrassment…” Groaning he pinched the crown of his muzzle between his eyes, “I just hope the guards are just as worthless as they were a year ago.”

Having put his clothes on Luna took hold of his hand, “If they catch you I’ll talk to my sister to let you off easy.”

Scoffing he kissed her just below the horn, “Don’t bother, it wouldn’t be as fun.”

Taking off sprinting he was soon noticed by the guards. Caught dumbfounded and off guard the stallion jumped placing his hoof on the back of the prince. As the prince started to fall to the ground the stallion swiped the phone from him, as he dove towards the guard he knocked them over.

Getting them caught up on a tangled fall he stripped them of their pants. Rising to his hooves he took off as fast as he could laughing.

As he neared the more livelier area he shouted, “THE PRINCESSES ARE CORRUPT USING OUR CLOTHES TO CONTROL OUR MINDS. THE REVOLUTION STARTS NOW, STRIP, STRIP MY FRIENDS. AND KNOW TRUE FREEDOM!”

Taking off after him the guards cared little for how they ran in their underwear, only that they caught whom they assumed was drunk off his ass.

Slowly following behind them the prince called out, “He stole my phone!” His only bit of proof to aid him in gaining more power this night.

Running through the opening in the crowd many ponies turned to point and laugh at the rather brazing stallion.

As he ran shouting about freedom a group of drunks chose to follow his actions and stripped down. They soon gave chase as the guards passed by them cheering him and each other on.

Soon enough he passed a table where Fluttershy, Rarity, Discord, and Treehugger enjoyed their drinks, “THE REVOLUTION FOR FREEDOM BEGINS TONIGHT!!” He shouted passing by them.

Standing up raising a fist Treehugger called out, “Right on man!” Removing her dress she reached over and stripped Rarity as she took off into the crowd.

Shrieking Rarity covered what she could remaining seated as Discord slammed his fist down laughing at the poor mare, “Stop laughing and give me something to wear!” She exclaimed hoping nopony tried to drag her into the crowd.

“But why Rarity... you look far more attractive this way.” He struggled to say between his fits of laughter seeing the guards both being chased and chasing the crowd of streakers.

“Fluttershy get him to do something!” The distraught mare commanded wishing not to reclaim her title as the Canterlot Streaker.

Giving him a stern look Discord sighed as he snapped his fingers, “Oh alright fine.” Looking at herself Rarity growled at him, “Would you prefer to be naked instead?”

Letting out a reluctant sigh Rarity closed her eyes as her bow twitched in aggravation, “No, no this will be fine. Being dressed in a costume of Pinkie Pie made by her will be fine for now.”

“I think it looks alright.” Fluttershy claimed hoping to make her feel better.

That is until the over sized head spoke, “I say cherry you say changa. Cherry!”

Gripping his mouth trying to hold back a laugh he saw fire in Rarity’s eyes, “Not a word of this to anypony!”

Watching the bit of chaos that unfolded from him just running down the street shouting, Luna pondered if Discord was truly the master and spirit of chaos and disharmony. Snapping herself out of her train of thought Luna took off running as fast as she could towards the castle. Confident that she could make it without fear of being seen naked.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Looking up at the night sky Luna saw her moon had long passed its midway point and was well on it’s way to setting for the evening. Seeing the hedge wall of the castle garden Luna let out a tear filled sigh of joy. This was the only night she was glad was finally coming to an end.

Grunting she give it everything she had left panting as she ran only to stop feeling the cool night air across her body, “You know, tonight has just not been either of our nights.” Looking at her own body Luna saw that the clothes she had been given were gone, “You’ve spent most of the night like this naked and on the run, and while I was content fucking over the mortals I struck a deal with. You happen to have an ace in the hole WHO FUCKS UP MY EVENING!”

Covering herself Luna turned to see Akop limping out of the shadows covered in blood, “How? He said-”

“Ya, ya, fucking sigils. But your colt toy left the hole you both exited from exposed, and the mortals who summoned me found out I was powerless under that single and wanted to have their way with me.” Balling up her fist Luna heard bones popping and snapping till Akop started walking normally.

Stretching she sighed snapping her fingers to clean the blood off her clothes, “They broke my legs, and in the mists their fun pulled me out of the path of the sigil. And I…” She chuckled thinking about how slowly and painfully she killed them, “well let's just say I collected early.”

Looking at her tattered clothes Luna shuddered, “They didn’t…”

“No they only broke my legs, ripped up my clothes, then dragged me and set me up against the wall. So I returned the favor by slowly turning them inside out.” Licking her lips as he looked back on it Akop reached into her pants to tease her wet slit, “The stallions I started with their urethra, the mares their rectum. Well not all of the mares, one I’ve taken a fancy into making my personal bitch.”

Slowly stepping back Luna soon started to hear the slowly growing crowd making their way her direction. Looking back between the oncoming crowd, Akop, and the hedge wall she tried to inch her way towards the wall.

“Oh come on now, let’s stay and talk a bit more. After all it’s just us mares now that your colt toy is gone.” Akop’s sarcasm was more than noted as she clenched her fist causing the street lamps to light up, “And you have an adoring public who would love to see you in your wonderful gown. Shall we say it’s part of the Baring All spring time collection?”

Slowly Akop inched towards Luna causing her to step back closer to the crowd, “Please you don’t have to do this. We can work something out.”

Luna hoped to reason with the demon, hoped that there could be some means of talking her out of her actions. But from the lust filled smile that filled her face it was clear there was no reasoning.

As the first few ponies began to turn the corner Akop turned towards them, “OH MY WORD…” She shouted grabbing what attention she could, “IS PRINCESS LUNA NAKED!?”

In the moment Akop shouted Luna took the chance to run for the hedge knowing it was the safest option she had. Once the crowd of curious peekers came into the area both Akop had vanished, and all any of them got to see was Luna’s bare ass disappearing into the hedge. Struggling to push through the thick brush Luna soon found herself tumbling out.

Trying to keep her balance she made a few steps into the garden before falling into the pony made lake. Coming out soaking wet upon the other side she wiped the water from her face as she walked.

She stopped moving when she heard a crowd gasp followed by a single stallion shouting, “My word!”

Standing there Luna wanted to move her arms to cover herself but found she was frozen by embarrassment. Finally after a prolonged moment she moved her arms into place and turned. Walking towards the doors to enter the ballroom she slipped on the smooth stone walk.

Finding herself upon her back again she saw flashes of light while hearing the clicking sounds from cameras. Though they were the elite of Canterlot not even the were above being lustful perverts wanting a good photo for later. Some of the stallions even took to whistling and complementing her body.

Making her way to the door she slipped and fell forward exposing her ass and slit for all of them.

Among the cheers, whistles, and lustful remarks about her body she felt more embarrassed to hear what some of the mares were saying.

“Can’t believe how much of a slut she is.”

“I bet she’s falling over like that on purpose, I bet she wants us all to see because it excites her.”

Struggling to stand up hoping she wouldn’t fall back over Luna reached for the door. Slowly the crowd formed around her trying to get what photos they could only for the doors to come flying open. As the doors opened they hit Luna causing her to fall back into the crowd.

Legs spread and nothing to cover herself photos upon photos were taken of her bare body. Trying to hold back her tears she wished the stallion from before would show up, that he would do something. But she knew he was nowhere close by, and even if he was she questioned what could he do?

Slowly she began to cry only to notice the crowd had stopped taking pictures of her. Looking at them both her and the crowd noticed they were held in place by a yellow aura.

“Guards…” Celestia’s voice rang in the ears of the crowd as they all looked towards the doors. “confiscate every one of their devices.” They saw the rage of their princess, and though the spell held them in place.

Many would have gladly given up their cameras and phones rather than face what Celestia might have planed. As the tears finally began to flow Luna dove into the arms of her sister. As the last of the cameras and phones were taken up Celestia held on to Luna whispering how everything would be alright.

Once Luna had showered and dressed she explained in detail everything that had happened. From when she was struck by the curse, to the stallion and all he did to help her, right up to the moment Celestia found her in the garden. Celestia called out to the guards and ordered that the young prince who conspired against them be brought forth, as the guard left Luna pondered if it would be enough.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The following evening Luna stood atop the watchtower reading the newspaper. She was thankful it had no real mention of her in it, and the crowd of streakers were let off easy by her sister. The excuse of the night festivities going a little over board was enough for Celestia to keep Luna’s unfortunate evening hidden.

As she read the paper she heard a disapproving sigh coming from above her, “See I was worried about that.”

Turning around Luna saw the stallion drop from the roof behind herself, “You willingly took off running in your underwear, had a crowd of ponies strip down and chase off after you, and you’re more worried about this picture of your back. And only your back, you’re lucky they didn’t catch much more of you.”

Taking a few steps past Luna he set his hoof on the railing, “Ya the photographer could have done a much better job, after all this is my best look.” Placing his arm across his knee he gave a halfhearted worried expression as he looked out at nothing.

Seeing him in this pose under the moonlight Luna stifled a chuckle, “Would you have stood still long enough for that pose?”

Looking back on the moment he shrugged his shoulders as he took another look at the newspaper, “Probably not, now if it was Photo Finish who made the request then I might have humored it.”

Looking at his new clothes Luna ran her hand across his shoulder wiping off a bit of dust, “You look good in that. Looks like Rarity’s work, did you steal it from her shop here in Canterlot?”

Gripping his chest he slowly dropped to his knees, “I am shocked and appalled that you would think that.” Holding out the receipt he chuckled, “I stole the bits from the guards and that prince to buy this outfit. And speaking of Rarity you should have seen her outfit last night, I never thought she would be the one to wear something like that.”

“I heard from my sister that it was a very lovely gown, and has even made a request for one just like it.”

Letting out a mix of a cough and a laugh he tried not to fall over, “Not from what I saw…” He sighed as he thought about that oversized head, “cherrychanga.”

Looking down at his waist Luna saw one of the local tabloids with her name on the cover, rolled up in his belt.

Snatching it from him she turned to the page containing a blurred image of her flank, “Oh this can’t be good.”

Looking at the image he pulled the magazine out of her hands, “I wouldn’t worry about it too much, you can’t even tell that it’s yours. All this happens to be is speculation, and the only ponies to know otherwise were either too drunk to remember. Or scared of what Celestia will do to them.”

“You know about what happened in the garden?” She whimpered unable to turn around and look at him.

He groaned as he rolled up the tabloid and tucked it away, “Not much escapes these ears. And from what I heard they didn’t get your good side either.”

Feeling her anger grow Luna kept her eyes closed as she growled at him, “And just what in your opinion is my good side?” She knew he wanted to make light of the situation but even still she didn’t like how Canterlot’s elite treated her.

Luna felt his hand upon her back and a finger curled under her chin. Opening her eyes she saw a warm loving smile as he looked into her eyes.

Slowly he pulled her in, “This is your best side right here.”

As their lips came close they stopped at the sound of a guard flying over head, “TRESPASSER, WE HAVE A TRESPASSER AT THE WATCHTOWER!”

Letting out a groan he kissed her forehead in the same spot as before, “Some other time perhaps?”

Luna watched as he jumped the railing and dove into the closest tree. As he slipped out the stallion ran as the guards slowly tried to catch him.

As the guards continued to chase him Luna began to laugh at his antics as he shouted at the guards, “What’s wrong with you guys, your mothers can keep up with me in bed.”

Shaking her head Luna sighed as the stallion disappeared from her sight, “Not good, not evil, just a big pain in the flank.”

Returning to the newspaper Luna saw a note attached to it.

Hey, I know last night wasn’t a stroll in the park for you. But don’t worry about that demon coming back, she had her chance and most don’t like doing the same thing twice. And even if she did want to try again she’d have to wait for that specific kind of blood moon to come back. Anyway last I was able to find out about our little friend Akop is that she’s already skipped town, she’ll fly under the radar like any smart demon but I’ll keep my eyes peeled for her. Stay safe Luna.
