There is mention of events in this chapter that have not been documented in a previous chapter or story. So don’t worry that you missed them.

“Dang it Fluttershy, quit fighting me!” Rainbow Dash cursed as she pulled on the vine rope that led to the tangle of webbing currently constricting the body of her best friend. Dash was an old hand at weaving nets to carry things, but this was both larger, and made out of less than perfect material. As a result, it looked like it had been woven by grade school fillies. But Fluttershy’s current male body was far too bulky, especially her wings, to have any chance of slipping through one of the larger gaps.

“Ooof,” Gilda grunted as she joined Rainbow in putting all her predatory muscles behind helping to haul the struggling Fluttershy through the gateway from Caridoon to Equestria.

Normally Gilda by herself could have easily hauled around a hogtied Fluttershy. But Fluttershy, thanks to Discord, wasn’t currently wearing her normal body. She was at the moment a very large and muscular vampony that outweighed both Gilda and Dash together. A male vampony. A very strong, and at times, very sexually aggressive male vampony. So in addition to coping with Fluttershy’s size and weight Gilda was a bit distracted by the way Fluttershy’s cock and balls were dangling through one of the openings in the tangle of rope. It had only been an hour since she’d had that stuffed up her cunt and all the way to what felt like the back of her tits. Gilda would never admit it, but, dang, that pony could fuck. Her twat clenched in memory, and she felt the gooey wet feel of some of Fluttershy’s left over spunk ooze out of her body and down her thigh.

Fluttershy had proven over the last few weeks that when the mood struck her she was more than capable of shoving her dick into Gilda no matter how much the griffon hen might resist. A fact Gilda thoroughly enjoyed. It was pretty much the only reason Gilda was currently putting up with Fluttershy’s current bullshit. She was not about to let a cock that could wreck her as thoroughly as Flutterbat’s could get away. She could certainly do without the stupid dweeb’s emotional pony baggage, however. All that apologizing and guilt after she’d rocked Gilda’s world was tiring as hell. It was only when her cock was stiff that Fluttershy's conscience took a back seat. If only there was some way to arrange for the big bat pony to sport a hard on twenty-four seven, he’d be the perfect mate, Gilda thought as she strained every muscle to help Dash pull Fluttershy through the gate.

Unfortunately, at least as far as Gilda was concerned, when not sporting a cunt wrecker of an erection, Fluttershy was everything Gilda despised about ponies. Kind, caring, deferential, and wouldn’t say boo to a fly. In other words, a total waste of space and boring as hell.

“Please let me go, I can’t go back to Equestria, let me go back to Green, she loves me,” Fluttershy plead with Dash even as she struggled to break free of the ropes tangled around her oversized male body. She winced as her balls got caught up in the strands. The oversized globes were very tender. Fluttershy didn’t complain. It was justified punishment for the vicious way she’d fucked Gilda just a little while before. Her heavy balls had likely bruised themselves slapping against the Griffon’s stiff little clit and thighs as Fluttershy had pounded the helpless hen from behind. Fluttershy struggled to push the memory of Gilda’s tight warm passage gripping her cock away. A stiff prick was the reason she was in this situation. Getting aroused and losing control was the last thing she needed.

“She loves you!” Dash said in an incredulous voice. “She thinks you’re her pet. And they don’t call her ‘The Green Devourer’ for nothing. She eats ponies, Fluttershy!” Dash could not believe Fluttershy could want to go back to that monstrous dragon. Not after seeing her swallow down several ponies and other beings like they were grapes.

“That’s not fair. They tortured her for days. They were going kill her and cut her up for magical ingredients once they forced the location of her hoard out of her,” Fluttershy said as she tried to defend her beloved owner in a faint voice. She wished she could tell Dash the truth. That her owner only swallowed those ponies into her crop, and once she’d drained their balls dry she’d spit them back out in private. Green had a reputation to defend. Being known as the dragon who would not really eat you could only end with her back in the situation Fluttershy had first found her in. Flat on her back, her limbs spread wide and secured to thick trees while a bunch of tomb raiders prepared to butcher her.

“Yeah, can’t blame her for that. There are a few ponies I’d like to swallow down if I were big enough. And I don’t have nearly as much reason as old Devourer did,” Gilda said. Gilda had a soft spot for the green guardian dragon. As soon as Fluttershy showed the least little sign of suffering from the taint they had all picked up she would order her to fuck either Dash or Gilda, which ever one didn’t run fast enough. And luckily Dash’s ego wouldn’t let her throw the race so two times out of three it was Gilda who benefited.

“She set you on me and Gilda every time you went feral,” Dash retorted, while ignoring what Gilda had said. “Or don’t you remember chasing me down, forcing me over a wall and fucking my cunt till I could barely stand? Or pinning Gilda to the ground, shoving her beak into the dirt and shoving that monster between your legs up her ass till she screamed for mercy?”

“Did not,” Gilda protested, even as she suddenly looked almost bashful. That had been a good one. She’d been walking with a hitch for two days afterwards. Her uncharacteristic expression quickly changed as she glared at Fluttershy for daring to look at her with remorse though her bindings.

Despite the tone she was using, Dash was playing to Fluttershy’s guilt rather than really complaining about her treatment at the hands of the forest dragon. Personally she had thoroughly enjoyed those incidents. In the last month she’d discovered that sex felt as good as flying. Maybe better, though she’d never say that out loud. Especially when it was done right, and when Fluttershy was in the mood. no one did it better or rougher. Even Gilda ended up limp and barely able to move after a one on one session with the big vampony. A few times it had been hours before she was able to walk a straight line.

The only thing better, sex wise, was spending time secured in place and gangbanged for hours at a time. Getting cock constantly pushed her body to the limit. Dash tended to view sex the same way she viewed exercise. If you weren’t aching afterwards you weren’t doing it right. During nights when she’d been cuddled up to Fluttershy, and idly stroking her pussy during the afterglow, she’d daydream that Discord had done the same thing to all her friends that he’d done to Fluttershy and it was her job to take care of their rampant needs. That had led to many pleasant dreams where she had a cock shoved up every hole and one in each hand.

Gilda on the other hand, while of much the same view as Dash, didn’t think sex was complete without a lot of foreplay. But foreplay for a griffin hen involved what anypony else would call criminal assault. Without that element, no matter how many cocks were involved it just wasn’t the same, or so she said, often. It was one reason she declined to service Fluttershy voluntarily. It wasn’t until the vampony’s balls felt about to burst that Fluttershy was a decent fuck.

Fluttershy gave a guilty sob. “But don’t you see,” she said in a whispery voice all out of proportion to his body. “That’s why I can’t come back. I’m not safe to be around. Green can control me when I get too eager.”

“Yeah, by siccing you on us, so you can fuck us till you can’t get it up anymore,” Gilda retorted. She was able to play Fluttershy just as well as Dash by this point. “Don’t worry, Dweeb. We’ll stick by you. Anytime you feel the urge we’ll be there to make sure no other hen gets a chan... I mean so all the other ponies are safe.” Gilda could not bring herself to say that any hen who moved in on her stud would not need to be protected from Fluttershy. If those sluts ever found out about Fluttershy’s cock Gilda would have to get herself a club, with nails, to keep them off her property.

Dash shot Gilda a dirty look. Not that she didn’t agree with the sentiment, but as much as she enjoyed being forced down and fucked by the big vampony she hated how guilty Fluttershy felt afterwards. “Don’t worry, Fluttershy. Twilight will be able to fix you up.”

“Really? You think so?” Fluttershy looked at Dash through the web of the rope. Her big eyes gleaming with tears.

“Of course. If it’s a magical problem, Twilight can fix it,” Dash said, ignoring the dirty look Gilda was shooting her way, or the way she was drawing a claw across her throat in an effort to get Dash to shut the fuck up.

“But Cat said there was no cure,” Fluttershy said, mentioning the Caridoon changeling that had helped her save Dash and Gilda, and had introduced her to ‘The Green Devourer’.

That had been a dream come true. The green forest dragon had given her what Discord never could. An owner. As much as she loved Discord, she knew that there was simply no way he’d be a good pet owner, unlike Green. To the big dragon, Fluttershy had been a loving pet to be coddled and fed, brushed and bathed. And, here she felt a twinge of guilty pleasure, bred when the urge to do so struck Fluttershy with overwhelming force. The dragon had been the best pet owner Fluttershy could have ever dreamed of belonging to. She could not think of any other pony she knew who could control her as easily as the Dragon did in her current form. Twilight of course had magical power strong enough, but to Fluttershy’s deep regret she could not imagine her friend having the inclination. Not that Twilight was not a simply wonderful pet owner, but she simply could not imagine the rather prudish pony having another pony as a pet. And there was no way Twilight would arrange for her to breed Dash or Gilda the way Green had.

No, Green was the best owner possible and it was the luckiest day in Fluttershy’s life when she’d met her.

Of course before she had become the dragon’s pet, she’d needed to save the dragon. The Green Devourer had been ambushed and then tied down for several days at the time before Cat had led Fluttershy to the ruins the dragon guarded and lived in.

Fluttershy still felt guilt over that incident, even though she’d do the same thing all over again if it were needed. The big dragon had been helpless, bound and secured to the ground with hundreds of ropes. Her rear legs dragged open and her sex spread. A group of robbers had been in the process of shoving a sharpened log up her vulnerable sex. All the while laughing that if her scales were too hard to penetrate, they’d just take advantage of every slut’s greatest vulnerability. What choice did Fluttershy have? No matter how fearful she was of large dragons, she’d had to save the helpless beast. She’d never dreamed it would turn out so well.

That didn’t stop Fluttershy from feeling personally responsible for the ponies the dragon had swallowed whole after Fluttershy sliced through the ropes holding her secured in place with her claws. The dragon was a natural predator. She could no more fault her for swallowing those ponies than she could blame a fox for eating a bunny, even though a bunny was her beloved pet.

Even when she found out the dragon’s darkest secret, she only sort of swallowed the ponies, Fluttershy could not help but feel guilt over the fact she’d just stood by and watched those awful ponies and other beasts slide down the dragon’s gullet without making a single protest.

It was Fluttershy who was the real monster. Over the last few weeks she had violated poor Gilda and Dash again and again, and enjoyed every minute of it while she was doing it. She tried and tried not to. But the longer she resisted the harder it became to do so, until she could not hold herself in check anymore. When that happened, she’d ruthlessly chase either Rainbow or Gilda down. Taking advantage of the heavy forest growth to stalk them like a wolf after a helpless bunny. No matter how hard either of the girls tried, it was only a short time before Fluttershy had one or the other of them pinned, either to the ground or a tree branch and was jamming her cock into them. Either their sex or their ass. She didn’t care which. As long as it was a tight hot hole, that was all she cared about. Which is why there was no way she could return to Equestria.

Rainbow Dash blamed Fluttershy’s new predatory kink on Discord. But Fluttershy knew that was not the case. Her new body and Caridoon had merely made it impossible to hide what had been there all along. There was some part of Fluttershy that was pure predator. And it didn’t just appear spontaneously after she’d been gender swapped. The Grand Galloping Gala would never have gone so wrong if she’d been able to resist chasing after the critters in Celestia’s garden when they ran away from her. She’d tried to deny the feelings chasing after those fleeing critters had caused. And had mostly succeed. But then there was the Nightmare Night episode. It had been disquieting how stalking her friends had affected her. That was the real reason she’d declined to continue it. Not because she found it distasteful, but because she gotten so into it. If she’d had this body back then she was not sure any of her friends would have remained virgins. After that she could no longer deny the darkness inside her. She was a predator as much as she was a herbivore.

As if to counterpoint this fact, she’d had more than a few dreams recently where she’d stalked her other friends through the dark streets of Ponyville, or the trees of Sweet Apple Acres. All those dreams ended just like the events in real life. With one of her friends squealing as they wriggled on her cock as it drove deeper and deeper into their helpless bodies.

That was why she could never go back to Equestria. She was a bad, bad, pony.

Unfortunately Rainbow Dash disagreed with her and the current situation was the result. If only she hadn’t let her love of the chase take control of her, she would have realized that the two girls were working together to lead her far from the protective shelter of her owner.

The Devourer was magically locked to the ancient lost city she guarded and could not leave them.

By the time she caught the two and slaked her lust on their helpless bodies, it had been too late to fly home. So she’d snuggled up with the two well fucked females and settled in for the night. When she woke from the afterglow of good sex, it was to find herself bound up and being dragged back to the gate she had entered Caridoon through so many days before.

Dash just didn’t understand. She thought Fluttershy’s behavior was due to Discord giving her a vampony body. Dash didn’t realize that when it came to sex she’d always been this way. Once she became aroused the only thing she could think of was getting off. All Discord had done was give her a body that would allow her to express her perverted urges to the fullest. And being here in Caridoon didn’t help.

Cat had explained to them about the curse. How their bodies didn’t just want sex, but needed it to survive. Gilda quickly latched onto this. To her it explained why a meek and mild pony was suddenly the best fuck she’d ever had. She too blamed the curse for Fluttershy’s surprising aggression, in an approving way. Like Dash, she was wrong. Fluttershy had always been a sexual monster. Which is why she had given up on ever having a sexual relationship, until Discord. And in Caridoon she’d been given the chance to let her monster free, because in that place, and with two more than willing females, Fluttershy found the perfect situation. As both a loved pet, and with an active and satisfying sex life.

Oh, there was no question the curse had affected her. That had become obvious when she’d saved Dash and Gilda from the auction block in Stagville. The two girls had been captured and gang-banged for a few days before they’d been taken to the local town to be registered as the property of the two brothers who had caught them. It wasn’t really an auction. More a last chance for the girl’s real owner to show up and pay the fine for allowing them to roam free without a collar.

Thanks to Cat assuming a form identical to Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy was able to convince the beings in charge that she did own Rainbow and Gilda. They had accepted that. But had refused to give them to her on the basis that there was no way she could properly care for three females. Cat had later explained that there was on average only three females for every male in Caridoon. So it made sense that the males would object to one of their own keeping three females all to himself.

Strangely, the argument bore an eerie similarity to lectures Fluttershy had given to ponies who wanted to adopt a pet that was unsuitable for their living situation. Like a mining pony who wanted to adopt an eagle. Maybe that was why she’d argued that she was more than capable of caring for more than one pony. Her mind was focused on the pet aspect and she’d managed to convince the auctioneer to give her a chance to prove that she could do it. She’d been blindsided when it turned out that their main objection centered around her ability to sexually satisfy three young females. Usually the ratio was the other way around.

Cat, Dash, and Gilda had been secured into a framework that left them totally vulnerable to any pony who wished to breed them, and Fluttershy had been told to go ahead and prove her virility.

Thankfully she was still in the first stages of adapting to the magical taint of Caridoon and her libido was off the chart. She hadn’t just screwed all three girls in sequence, she’d done it several times. The final had involved her shoving her cock up Gilda’s tail hole while the griffon squealed and cursed. Fluttershy had felt an overwhelming satisfaction as she claimed the griffon’s ass unlike anything she had ever experienced before. It was then she had realized that there was no way she’d be able to return to Equestria. She did not deserve to live among civilized ponies.

“Rainbow Dash!” A familiar voice boomed out, shocking Fluttershy out of her personal guilt trip.

“Shit,” Rainbow cursed, “it’s Princess Luna. I thought she’d have gone back to Canterlot by now. We are so screwed.”

“And not in a good way,” Gilda agreed as she looked around for the voice and noticed something she had missed before. “Say, Dash. Were there walls here when we left?”

“Oh, crap. I didn’t think she’d be that pissed,” Rainbow said as she looked around at the heavy walls that fully enclosed the gateway they’d just passed through. The only exit seemed to be a doorway that looked every bit as durable as the walls. There was no way she and Gilda would be able to make a break for it. Especially not with Fluttershy to carry along, and she was not going to leave her friend behind. It was her fault Fluttershy had ended up in that place. It might have been unbelievably cool to her and Gilda, well, the sex part, the slavery not so much. But it had been awful for Fluttershy, she was just too gentle a soul for a place that raw and real. Especially in the body Discord had stuck her in. She actually thought she was some sort of monster. As if.

Princess Luna’s voice snapped out several questions one right after the other. “Rainbow Dash! This is important. Is the land on the other side of the gateway Caridoon? Are there Caridoon natives in pursuit of you? Are there forces on the other side of the gateway?”

“Looks like Luna has been doing some research,” Dash muttered. Then in a louder voice she shouted out. “Nah. There ain’t anyone in miles of this place. It’s practically buried under the biggest dead fall of trees I’ve ever seen. If you didn’t know it was there already you’d never find it. Oh, and yeah, they do call it Caridoon.”

There was silence for a second, and then what sounded like a loud sigh of relief. “That’s good. Very good. Now, if you can secure the vampony and exit through the gate with your griffon friend I will send some royal guards in to secure him. Oh, and good work capturing him. It does not mitigate your crimes, but I will take it into consideration while considering your sentence.”

“What! What crime? I needed to save Fluttershy. It ain’t a crime to save a friend!”

When Luna replied, it was in a voice so cold that Dash was sure she could feel her lady-parts freezing. “It is when you disobey a direct order from your ruler. When that disobedience might doom all of Equestria to slavery and degradation. Caridoon has already attacked us once. They kidnapped your friend Applejack right out of the royal palace. My sister risked everything to recover her. We don’t know when they might try again. This gate is our only hope of taking the fight to them rather than fighting them in Equestria. You have been there. You know what it is like. Is that the fate you wish for your friends? To have no purpose other than to be cock sleeves for males who have no respect at all for anything that doesn’t have a cock between it’s legs? You jeopardized the battle before it has even begun.”

Rainbow Dash felt her stomach lurch. Applejack had been kidnapped and taken to Caridoon. Thank goodness Celestia had saved her before anything bad had happened to her. Dash hadn’t actually found the males that bad. Sure, they hadn’t actually given her and Gilda much choice in the matter, but they had, in their own rapist way, seemed concerned about them. It would only have been a matter of time before the two of them managed to escape. But, not all mares were as awesome as her and Gilda. Fluttershy for instance. If she’d been there as a female instead of a male... Dash shuddered as she said, “Ah, yeah. That does sound sort of bad.”

“I notice you did not manage to save your friend. So it was all for naught,” Luna said in a scathing tone as the big gate began to slowly slid open.

“You’re wrong, we did save Fluttershy.” Dash pointed at the bound vampony, hoping they could see her. “That’s Fluttershy. It’s all Discord’s fault, he’s the one who stuck her in that body, none of this would have happened if not for him.”

There was silence, and then an exasperated, “Discord!” from Princess Luna.

“Very well, we will let you out. The guards will escort you and your griffon friend to a holding area while I debrief Fluttershy.”

Dash opened her mouth to protest, and then shut it. Luna’s earlier words were still depressing her normal emotional state. Given a few hours, she’d likely convince herself that Luna was out to lunch and there had never been much of a risk but for right now, she was a bit sick at the thought that her actions could have seen all her friends and all the other mares she knew standing on a auction block waiting for some male to purchase them as cum buckets and cock sleeves. With no Fluttershy to fuck to the rescue. It hadn’t bothered her when it had happened to her in Caridoon, but that was because she knew that anytime she wanted, she could escape. But if Caridoon invaded and conquered Equestria, there would be no place to run.

When the guards opened the door and led them out, Dash and Gilda allowed themselves to be escorted in a direction opposite to Fluttershy. And while Gilda kept up a running litany of cutting remarks, Dash was silent and deep in thought.

Fluttershy hesitantly entered Luna’s royal tent, alone. She looked behind herself frantically expecting the guards who had escorted her to follow any second. Her hands dropped to the towel she’d tied around her waist, making sure it was secure. It felt strange. After her time in Caridoon, she found being clothed uncomfortable. Pets did not wear clothes, and she was a pet. But it was better than standing in front of the very scary Luna with an erection in full view. She might get offended and order it cut off.

“I wanted to have a private talk with you, Fluttershy,” Luna said.

“No, no, that’s not a good idea,” Fluttershy babbled, forgetting her usual terror of the Princess of the Night.

“And why is that?”

Fluttershy’s face flushed, the red running down her neck and across her shoulders. Even the base of her oversized bat-wings turned pink. How could she tell Princess Luna that she might become so aroused that she’d lose all rational thought and attack her? “It’s just not safe,” she mumbled, ducking her head and not meeting Luna’s eyes.

“Maybe because if you go too long without sexual contact with a female, you’ll rape the first one you can get your hands on?”

Fluttershy’s head shot up and she stared at Luna with wide eyes. “How?” she gasped out.

Luna answered in a clinical manner, while only glancing at Fluttershy for a few seconds at a time as she did so. “We have access to a native from Caridoon, a young doe named Bother. She is living at Sweet Apple Acres. While she does not possess detailed information about the political structure or practical aspects of the Caridoon culture, she is a font of information on what would be common knowledge for them. According to her, you should be experiencing overwhelming lust and if you do not address it, black-outs where you attack anything female. Is this the case?”

Fluttershy looked down in shame. “Yes,” she muttered.

“It’s not your fault. You have to believe that. It’s part of the protective mechanism the natives use to guard their country. Any invading army would find their males not only incapable of fighting, but a liability. Within a week of invading, the army would destroy itself from within.”

“Cat said it was to keep the prisoners occupied so they wouldn’t cause too much harm when they first arrived.”

“Cat?”

“She’s a friend. Without her, I’d have never been able to save Dash or Gilda, or find a place I belonged. She’s told me her people were the prison guards. Their job is to make sure none of the natives escape the valley.”

“Then they are not doing a very good job!” Luna snapped. “We’ve already had one major attack from one of their ‘prisoners’.”

Fluttershy flinched backward and Luna held up a hand in apology. “I”m sorry. Not your fault. And neither is your condition. While Bother has no first-hand experience with it, she knows the stories. After a certain period, freshly infected males stabilize to the point where they have control of themselves once again. They retain their mental faculties at all times. But even while you are adjusting, there is a solution. Simply engage in near-constant sex until your body acclimatizes. Did you do that? Or did you wait until you lost control before having sexual relations with your friends?”

“I tried to hold off as much as I could,” Fluttershy admitted.

“There you go then.” Luna gave a sigh. “I’m sorry this happened to you. But I’m also glad. It gives us confirmation of Bother’s information. Now I know for certain I can’t just send an army through the gate and muster on the other side. I’ll want you to talk to some of my people and tell them everything you can about life on the other side. They will also be questioning Rainbow Dash and her friend. This will be of great help to us.”

“I can do that,” Fluttershy said with some eagerness. Talking to someone else would mean not talking to Princess Luna. Then she had a sudden worrying thought. “They will be stallions, right?”

“Ah, I see your point. No, my best intelligence officers are female. We can’t have you attacking them in the middle of an interview. We really do need to take that into consideration. I don’t want them interviewing all three of you together. It might bias your information. But we can schedule regular breaks so you can have sex with either Rainbow Dash or the griffon hen. In a nearby tent. You should try to alternate between them, or do both at the same time. They might not be as distracted as you if they go without, but Bother assures me that females are just as affected in their own way as their bodies adjust. Just promise you won’t discuss your interviews.”

Luna said this in a totally matter of fact way, as if she was saying that there would be regular bathroom, and tea breaks. After all she’d been through in Caridoon, that didn’t actually bother Fluttershy all that much. Because in all honesty, she’d been using both of her friends as relief stations for weeks. It was just so strange to see Luna treat something like this so casually.

Fluttershy had expected to be regarded as a monster. A beast who could not keep his hooves off of, and his cock out of, any mare that came within reach. She had not expected to be treated like someone who simply had a curious dietary requirement that needed to be fed on a frequent basis. She still thought Princess Luna was being too generous, but compared to the reaction she had expected, this relieved her mind greatly. So she was more than ready to cooperate when Luna said, “While they set up the interview tents, why don’t you give me a quick rundown on just what happened to you in Caridoon? Just the broad outlines.”

Rainbow Dash hated being cooped up at the best of times. Boredom was the one enemy she simply could not abide. She hadn’t known how well off she was. Boredom was bad, but boredom and sexual frustration was even worse. She was starting to think she’d made a huge mistake in coming home. She’d tried to vamp the stallions who had led her and Gilda here, only be ignored. And while it was hard to tell with the armor they were wearing, she was pretty sure they hadn’t even popped a boner. Not even when she’d swept her tail across their chests as she’d bent down and flashed them all her goodies while pretending to pick something up off the ground. She was starting to greatly fear she’d experienced her last gang-bang, and once Twilight fixed up Fluttershy, her only access to a decent one on one fuck would fly out the window.

Dash glanced over at Gilda who was pacing back and forth in their small tent, five steps one way, five steps back. The way her tail was lashing and arching upward as well as the hitch in her step as she squeezed her pelvis every second stride showed that the griffon was feeling more than a little sexually deprived as well. Maybe they could lure the guards in and tackle them? Dash contemplated this as she rubbed her chin and looked at the tent flap in speculation.

As if in reaction to Dash’s thought, the flap flew open and a guard looked in, giving her and Gilda a harsh look that said better than words that they’d better fucking well behave themselves. The surprise set Dash’s heart racing, and it didn’t slow down when Luna trotted into the tent and closed the flap behind her. Dash swallowed nervously. Here it was. It was time to learn her fate. In her own mind she had done the right thing, and would do it again, but she knew Luna did not accept that, and Dash could see her point. She’d taken a huge risk when she’d ignored Luna’s orders to not go through the gate. And now that she knew about Applejack she couldn’t even argue that Luna had been overreacting.

Luna ran her eyes up and down Dash and Gilda, who had come over to stand next to Dash. Her eyes paused at their necks, taking in the slave collars they both still wore. “In Caridoon slavery is legal, that, of course, is not the case in Equestria. It would seem that you are Fluttershy’s property, at least by the law of Caridoon. If you had stayed there you would have remained her personal property. Should I charge her with sex trafficking, hmmm?”

“Bullshit,” Gilda sneered. “There is no way a soft pony princess is going to do something like that to the yellow marshmallow.”

“You think I’m soft?” Luna asked in a suddenly hard tone. “For the last two weeks I’ve been thinking of all the punishment options I have at hoof. I can’t tell you how annoying it is that almost every single one of them is currently illegal.” She ran her eyes up and down their bodies and for the first time in weeks, Dash had the urge to cover herself up. She really didn’t like that look, there was far too much of Nightmare Moon in it.

“I’ve already sent for a doctor to clip your primary feathers,” Luna suddenly snapped, her tone going hard. “On top of that, due to Fluttershy’s condition, I’m trying to figure out someway to legally make you two her personal little cocksleeves.”

“Huh. What’s to figure? Sign me up, I’ll take that job. I bet Dash would too. I’ve finally found somegriffon who’s a decent fuck. You want to call me her cocksleeve, fuck if I care. But you try to cut my wings and there is going to be blood. Lots of it.”

“Hmmm, interesting. Do you feel that way, Rainbow Dash?”

Dash was in a bit of a daze. Being told that she was going to get her primary feathers clipped had been a body blow. She was sure Gilda had the same reaction, but would never allow anypony to know. Setting that aside, she agreed with Gilda about Fluttershy. She might not be so graphic, but dang, feeling that big cock of his sliding into her twat and all the way to her bellybutton was nearly as good as flying. And it wasn’t like they’d really be slaves. That settled in her mind she said, “Fluttershy is my friend, and I enjoy spending time with her. So I don’t have any trouble with that. I sure won’t try to escape. So you don’t have to clip my wings.”

“The two have nothing to do with each other. I’m hoping in the six months to a year it takes you to molt and grow back your primaries, you’ll have time to think about your actions. It is going to happen. Should I have a dozen guards hold you down while the doctor clips your feathers?”

It was a mark of how Caridoon had affected her that Dash’s first reaction to the idea of a dozen guards holding her down was to get wet. So much so that it took a few seconds for her to process the rest of the question. Was she going to fight having her feathers clipped? The idea of being rendered flightless freaked her out. A year might as well be forever. But, now that she knew the stakes and what her actions might have caused she could not argue against it. Indeed, she felt sick to the stomach over the idea of her friends on the same auction block she’d been saved from. The idea of being punished actually eased her guilt slightly. “No. I won’t fight it, I deserve it. But don’t punish Gilda. You never ordered her directly not to go, and if it wasn’t for me, she never would have.” Dash swallowed nervously, not believing what she was about to say. “If you want I’ll serve her sentence as well. Once my feathers grow back, you can cut them again.”

Luna stared at Rainbow Dash with gimlet eyes, and then looked over at Gilda, who actually found herself unable to directly meet the Lunar Princess’ eyes straight on. “I don’t need a pony to take a hit for me. I knew it was hinky and did it anyway. I’ll take my hit along with Dash.”

Luna looked back and forth between the two girls. They were both defiant, but equally aware that they’d made a serious error.

The tableau held for several second and then it broke. “Thank goodness,” Luna said as she expelled a deep breath. “If you had tried to fight me I’d have had to carry out that sentence, but you two and Applejack are the only ponies already infected. I’m going to need your help, and depriving you of your wings would be bad for Equestria.

“That does not mean you’re not going to be punished. But now that I know you understand your crime and accept you made a mistake, I can leave your wings intact.That’s why I’m sentencing you to a one year supervisory incarceration. You will live with your jailer, her word will be law. If she wants to put you over her knee and lash that cute butt until you can’t sit, she can. Unlike so many other options, corporeal punishment is still on the books.”

“But she’ll let us fuck Fluttershy, right?” Dash asked hastily.

“Idiot. She’s talking about Fluttershy,” Gilda said, while driving an elbow into Dash’s ribs. Her eyes gleamed at the idea of Fluttershy punishing her. The brawl would be epic, and the after fuck fantastic.

“Oh, that’s cool then,” Dash said in a slightly breathless voice.

“Actually. I wasn’t,” Luna said. “I was planning on deputizing a suitable pony, and giving her charge of you. I have every confidence she has the talent and inclination to make sure you two are taught proper behavior.”

Both Dash and Gilda looked at Luna in shock. “Who?” Dash said in a wary voice, not liking the look on Luna’s face.

“You know her well...” Before she could finish. Dash interrupted her.

“Not Twilight? She’d freak,” Dash protested.

“No! Not Twilight, but someone much more inclined. You know her well, your friend Rarity Belle.”

“This blows,” Scootaloo grumped as she and her friends sat off to the side and watched the camp turn over like a stepped-on ant hill. Guards and construction workers were running every which way. Rainbow Dash, the incredible vampony, and Gilda had been sequestered away in tents surrounded by guards.

And the Crusaders had been relegated to the sidelines, forbidden to approach Rainbow Dash on pain of getting their posteriors paddled. Spike had been given explicit instructions by Princess Luna herself that under no circumstances was he to allow the Crusaders to sneak into the tents where Rainbow Dash and the other two gate travelers were being kept. She had threatened that if he failed in this endeavor, he’d be strung up by his thumbs naked in the middle of the camp and used as a practice dummy for the royal guards.

Scootaloo was pretty sure Princess Luna wouldn’t really do that, but Spike sure acted like he believed her. The big weeny. How could someone as hunkalicious as Spike had become be so whipped? She glanced out of her corner of her eyes at where Spike loomed over her, Sweetie Belle, and Apple Bloom. In just a couple of months he’d gone from being the same height as them to what he was now. A few inches taller than Big Mac and with his tail, maybe a hundred pounds heavier.

To be honest they’d first considered Spike even before his growth spurt. That had happened after Scootaloo had found a racy novel someone had thrown into the trash that featured a dragon with a thing for fillies. The things he’d done to those captured fillies had been an education. They hadn’t even known half of those had been possible. It had been shortly after reading that book, over the course of several long sleepless nights, that they had decided to cozy up to Spike on the off chance he might grow into a dragon like the one in the book. Shortly after that Spike had experienced his first growth spurt.

As Spike had for the last couple of months he was wearing a pair of pants, and nothing else. From the looks of things he was going to need new pants soon as the current pair looked like they were about to burst. They clung to his body like a denim skin and outlined his impressive package, leaving next to nothing to the imagination.

Not that Scootaloo was one to talk. She and her friends could only barely be called clothed themselves. The short shorts she was wearing were cut so high that the thin strip of fabric between her legs threatened to dive into her slit at any movement and the halter tops she and the other girls were wearing barely contained their breasts. Apple Bloom had already suffered a few wardrobe malfunctions, some sort of on purpose but not always.

Scootaloo swallowed a mouthful of drool at the thought of Spike suffering his own wardrobe malfunction. Not for the first time wished she hadn’t made that deal with Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle. She’d turned eighteen just two weeks before and by all rights she should have had her cherry popped by Spike as a birthday present. It never entered her mind that Spike might have refused to do the job. He had made it very clear by his behavior that only his own morality, and mortal fear of their sisters, had kept him out of their pants to this point.

Unfortunately the three friends had signed a pledge and made a solemn promise two years ago, sealed with blood, that they would form a herd together and share a stallion. Nothing would break them up, they vowed. They just hadn’t expected the stallion of their lustful dreams to turn out to be a dragon. But Spike had gone from Twilight’s lackey to a panty-wetting stud shortly after Scootaloo hit seventeen. Now she was eighteen and eager to fly to the moon with Spike, only she couldn’t. Not till her friends turned eighteen as well, and that wasn’t for another week. This was going to be the longest week of her life. She was only grateful that Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle had their birthdays just a day apart. They were planning a huge party starting at noon and going through the night till noon the next day.

Ripping her eyes away from her frustrating examination of Spike’s ‘talent’ she turned them back to the tent she had seen Rainbow Dash being led into. A different type of frustration surged through her filly heart. She was sure that Rainbow must have had incredible adventures. You just had to see that vampony she had dragged back from the other side of the gate to know that. And yet she was forbidden to ask even one question. Or to run into town broadcasting Rainbow Dash’s return to the entire population of Ponyville.

“It’s not fair,” Apple Bloom said, echoing Scootaloo’s thoughts. At least the one having to do with Rainbow Dash. “We’ve been here since the beginning. No one knows better than us how the gates work. We were the ones on watch when Rainbow Dash came through the portal. Why are we being shoved aside like we’re yearlings? Just look. No one is even bothering to guard the gatehouse. Anypony could just walk in.”

Scootaloo looked over at the big building and saw what Apple Bloom was right. Nopony was guarding what was supposed to be the most important building in Equestria. At least to listen to Princess Luna go on about how they were to watch it like a hawk and could not even tell their families about it.

“It is unguarded, isn’t it,” Sweetie Belle said in a musing tone. “What do you suppose it’s like on the other side of that gate? Spike, didn’t you tell us you got turned into a dog when you went through the gate Twilight keeps in her castle?”

“Huh, yeah, that’s right. Freaky,” Spike nodded, his eyes never leaving them.

Scootaloo would have liked to think that it was their bodies that was holding Spike’s attention. But she was afraid he was afraid if he took their eyes off of them for one second they’d cause a disaster. And to be fair given their history he was sort of justified.

“I wonder if Rainbow Dash changed into something different when she went through that gate?” Scootaloo mused. “If she did I bet it was something awesome.”

“There is a way we could find out if ponies change when they go through,” Sweetie Belle said in a wheedling tone as she nuzzled up close to Spike and drew doodles on his pecs with the sharp tip of her forefinger. She let it slip down the middle of his six pack till she tickled his belly right where his skin disappeared into his waistband. She arched her back slightly so that her breasts threatened to pull an Apple Bloom.

“What? No! Absolutely not! You heard Princess Luna, she’d cook my balls for lunch! And make me watch while she ate them.”

“She only told you to keep us from bothering Rainbow Dash and the others while they were debriefed,” Scootaloo said.

“How’re they going to do that anyway? They weren’t wearing any pants, let alone briefs,” Sweetie Belle asked. “And speaking of not wearing any pants, did you see the wang on that vampony? He’s was as big as Apple Bloom’s big brother.”

The other two fillies let out appreciative sighs at the memory of the times they’d peeked on Big Mac in the swimming hole. He was one fine figure of a stallion and if he hadn’t been Apple Bloom’s big brother they might have set their sights on making him their stallion instead of Spike.

Spike’s face twisted into a scowl at the three fillies clearly lusted after somepony other than him. He was as big as Big Mac, and not just in body. He’d taken a piss with the big stallion just a week ago, out behind the barn, and he didn’t give up an inch to the pony. Well, when they were both flaccid. He bet he was even bigger when he was hard.

“Never mind that,” Sweetie Belle said. “We may never get another chance to check out the other side of that gate. It can’t be that dangerous. Rainbow Dash was a bit mussed up, but she didn’t look like she came to any harm over there. Come on, Spike. You know you want to check it out too,” She cajoled, hooking the tip of her finger in his waist band and giving it a tug.

Spike swallowed nervously “Well, Princess Luna never told me we couldn’t take a look through the gate.” He had a pretty good idea that was because she’d never dreamed they would. But with the way Sweetie Belle was rubbing up against him he was ready to fight monsters. Surely just a quick peek would not hurt. Only...

“How can we do it? Someone has to stay outside to work the controls for the gates. We can’t all go in.” He felt relief. No way would the girls be able to agree on who got to go and who had to stay.

“Oh, that’s easy. We’ll go through and you work the gates,” Scootaloo said in a tone that implied there was nothing the least little big wrong with this suggestion.

“No way!” Spike bellowed, stomping his foot on the ground hard enough to make dirt bounce for five feet all around him. The three fillies all gave startled little whinnies and jumped a few inches themselves. “No way, no how. You are not going through that gate without me as a guard. Just because Rainbow Dash got through with no trouble does not mean there are not hazards on the other side.” Spike was so busy putting his foot down that it took him a second to realize he had as good as agreed to go along with the fillies’ hair-brained scheme.

Before Spike could back-step, the three fillies faced each other and began a quick game of Rock, Paper, Scissors which Sweetie Belle lost.

“Oh, poop,” she cursed cutely as she trotted over to the gate controls.

“What are you doing? Someone might see you. What are ‘you’ doing?” the last was directed at Scootaloo and Apple Bloom as they trotted through the open outer entrance of the block house.

“Well, duh. We two will go through with you, and then one us will come back so Sweetie Belle can take a look.”

Spike waffled. It was true he thought this was a bad idea, but Princess Luna had not specifically forbidden it. The last thing he wanted was to look cowardly in front of the girls. He’d been reading books in the forbidden section of the library ever since he turned eighteen and the magical censoring ward let him see it. He was even more eager for the girls to turn eighteen than Scootaloo. He had a very long check list of all the things he wanted to try. And there was a chance none of them would get checked if he turned chicken. So, like many a hero in history, Spike let his desire for teenage pussy lead him into harm’s way. He chased the two fillies through the gate, his eyes focused on their twitching tails and the fine asses underneath them as he tried to distract himself from just how idiotic he was being.

“You wanted to see me?” Fluttershy asked hesitantly as she opened the flap to Luna’s tent just a little, while trying to ignore the two guards on either side of it, who were smaller than she was but were giving her measuring looks as if looking for the best place to hit her if she didn’t act properly. She gave thanks for the fact she’d been able to relieve her sexual tension before coming.

Princess Luna looked up from the papers she was working on at a portable desk. “Yes I did, Fluttershy. You have finished your interviews?”

“Yes. Thank you.”

“And Rainbow Dash and Gilda have been taking care of you?”

Fluttershy blushed. She’d been given a break every hour to take the edge off her ardor. Each time she’d fucked both Gilda and Rainbow Dash as they bent over a bench in their respective interview tents. And not even ten minutes ago, she’d held Rainbow Dash’s head firmly in place as she muzzle fucked her best friend and spilled her seed down Dash’s throat. Her cock twitched between her legs, boasting that it wasn’t the least bit tired. Greatly embarrassed she nodded her head and simply said, “Yes.”

“Good, good. I look forward to the intelligence ponies’ analysis of your information, though they did bring something to my attention, why have you not spoken of the King?”

“King?” Fluttershy replied in confusion, “What King?”

“King Duneyrr, the ruler of Caridoon, the one who kidnapped Applejack and attacked my sister.”

Fluttershy shook her head, “Nobody ever spoke of a King while we were there.”

“How odd,” Luna commented, “I will have that question put to your friend and the hen with her. Now I have something personal to talk to you about.”

“If it’s about my owning Rainbow Dash and Gilda, I don’t really. I paid a fine for letting them fly around without a collar, but I never actually bought them. The elk who was in charge thought I already owned them. So you see, I didn’t buy them.”

Luna gave a dismissive wave. “Not important. As was recently pointed out to me, in Equestria, slavery is a consensual matter between consenting ponies. Whether they are or are not your slaves is up to you and them to work out between yourselves. I had something else I wanted to talk to you about.”

Luna levitated a small intricately carved wooden box about the size of her hoof from a chest in the corner of the tent. It floated over to her and settled on the desk. “This was found while the construction crew was surveying the area in preparation for building the blockhouse.”

Luna flipped open the box and Fluttershy looked inside. She gave a gasp as she saw a small glass charm nestled in black velvet. It was a perfect sculpture of a female draconequus. In particular it was the very image of the body Discord had been wearing the last time Fluttershy had seen him. Right after he had transformed her into a vampony. “I don’t understand. Did Discord leave this for me?”

“Unless I am very greatly mistaken, this is Discord. The magical aura around it is unmistakable. Unless he is trying to pass it off as him on purpose, I am fairly confident that this is indeed him.”

Fluttershy felt her heart lurch. She’d been so disappointed in Discord. She had felt so abandoned. He’d spent months convincing her to try this particular kink, and when at last she had given in he had transformed her into a horny vampony, specifically so she could fuck him in his female form. Then he’d vanished. She was sure it was because she was paying attention to poor Cat whose neck was ringed with a too small collar that was all but strangling her. She had imagined him sulking somewhere, ignoring all the trouble she was in because of his transformation.

But he’d been blameless. Somehow he’d been transformed into the glass charm in front of her. Guilt flooded through her and she reached out to pick up the charm.

The second Fluttershy touched the small glass figure she felt warmth flow through her and a familiar voice cried out from behind her. “Ohhhh, mannnnn, was that cramped.” She spun around to see Discord in his female form bent backward till the tip of her horn touched the tip of her tail as he stretched out the kinks in his body.

She looked from the figure in front of her, and down at the charm she still had in her hand. When she looked back Discord she noticed that he was nearly as transparent as the glass in her hand. She could see the walls of the tent clearly through his body. But, as she watched his body seemed to gain color and density till he looked just as he always did, except for being female.

“What is it, Fluttershy? Do you see something?” Luna asked, looking at Fluttershy and then in the direction the vampony was staring in. Discord moved out of her line of sight and strolled nonchalantly up to her, while Luna’s eyes never wavered from her previous point of view.

Unseen by Luna, Discord reached out and made a squeezing gesture with his hand around one of her breasts. “Honk, honk.” Luna didn’t react in the slightest and his claws seemed to pass right through her flesh. He gave a sigh and said, “It’s just no fun if they can’t feel it.”

“Discord!” Fluttershy cried out in shock, “You can’t do that.”

Luna looked at Fluttershy through eyes narrowed in thought. A moment later her horn took on a deep blue glow.

“Oh come on, Fluttershy, you can’t tell me you don’t want a piece of this?” Discord said as he flickered around behind Luna and held his hands out as if cupping her plot. “How can you resist hitting an ass this fine?”

Mortally embarrassed and afraid she was about to be struck by lightning in the fallout of Luna’s reaction to Discord’s actions she opened up her mouth and shouted out, “I’m mad at you!”

Discord looked at her in shock. He flickered and was suddenly standing in front of her. In his female form, he had to look up to stare into her face. His eyes were wide pools of muddy pond water as he gazed limpidly at her and said. “Mad at me? Why ever would you be mad at moi?”

Fluttershy all but exploded as she suddenly dragged Discord into a hug and yelled into his shoulder. “You changed me! You changed me and then you ran away and left me changed. I didn’t know what had happened. I didn’t know why you abandoned me. I was scared and you didn’t come. I waited and waited, and you didn’t come. I had to save Rainbow Dash and Gilda myself. I had to do terrible things to save them and keep them safe and you didn’t come. And I was so scared that something had happened to you and I wasn’t there to help you. And now here you are and you act like this, like nothing happened!”

Fluttershy was openly sobbing into Discord’s shoulder by the time she ran out words and breath.

Discord for once looked uncomfortable and unsure of what to do.

“This is where you pat her on the back and tell her you are sorry,” Luna suggested.

“Really? And that helps? Well. I’ll try anything.” One of Discord’s arms vanished from his body and appeared in the air behind Fluttershy where it proceeded to pat her on the back. “There, there. I’m sorry, Fluttershy, dear. There is a perfectly logical explanation for all of this. Which is a shame because I so prefer illogical explanations.”

Discord turned his head all the way around so he was looking backwards at where Luna was standing. “Say, does this mean you can see me now?”

“In a way,” Luna replied, gesturing over to the side. Slumped in her desk chair Luna was slumbering, a small snot bubble inflating and deflating from her nose.

“Attractive,” Discord snarked. “So, peeking into Fluttershy’s waking dream, are you?”

“It is where you are after all,” Luna said.

“I don’t understand,” Fluttershy said as she raised her muzzle from Discord’s shoulder and looked at Luna through bleary eyes. As she did, Discord pulled his shoulder free from his body and wrung it out, spraying water everywhere that vanished before it could hit the ground.

“You are having a waking dream, Fluttershy. One that Discord is supplying.” Luna gave Discord a scathing look. “How pathetic. The lord of chaos restricted to communicating in daydreams.”

“What?” Fluttershy asked, and was ignored.

“Fine talk coming from the queen of the wet-dream,” Discord retorted.

“Uh, Discord?”

‘At least I’m well enough regarded that I star in more pleasant dreams than nightmares.”

“Princess Luna?”

“Oh, now that’s something new. Night was, you gloried in terrifying Celestia’s little ponies. I must say I miss the old Nightmare Moon. Now there was a pony with fire in her blood.”

“DISCORD!”

“Heavens, you don’t have to shout, Fluttershy,” Discord said with a wince. He popped the ear that had been facing Fluttershy off and checked it for damage. He gave it a shake and several small animals fell out and scurried out of sight. Slapping the detached ear back on his head he directed an attentive look at Fluttershy, “Now what did you want to say, dear Fluttershy?”

“I don’t understand. Are you real?”

“Yes, Fluttershy, there is a Discord. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no…”

Discord was cut off at this point by Luna slapping him upside his head. “Be serious for once. You are trapped in the glass charm are you not?”

“Trapped? Don’t be absurd. Do you think a simple glass charm can trap moi?”

“Yes,” Luna said in a flat voice.

Discord fell apart, literally. His various components detached and fell into a heap on the floor. “Alas, you are right. How the mighty have fallen.” He popped back up and reformed. With a pair of Groucho glasses on his face and a cigar in his hand that he wiggled suggestively. “Speaking of falling mighty, how’s that tight-assed older sister of yours? Still got a stick up her butt you could hang a clothesline on?”

Fluttershy took hold of Discord’s shoulder and pulled him around so she was looking straight down into his eyes. “How can we save you?”

Discord winced, ” Ahh, sweet Fluttershy, if only you could. I’m afraid the outrageous slings of fortune have sealed poor Discord’s fate.” He pulled his own skull out and looked at it mournfully. “Alas poor Discord. A creature of infinite jest. I knew him well. We will not soon see his like again.”

“There has to be a way,” Fluttershy insisted.

“You have been trapped by your own magic,” Luna said with certainty, a touch of satisfaction in her voice, and more than a little relief. An Equestria without Discord simplified her life greatly.

Discord made a scoffing noise. “No shit, Princess Tight Ass. Who else would be powerful enough to lay low this mighty figure?” His arms and legs bulked up with several hundred pounds of muscle. It was not a good look on his female form. His breasts looked like fried wren eggs on top of his massive pecs.

Fluttershy had learned over the few months of their relationship to filter out Discord’s insanity to get at the kernel of truth inside. Of course sometimes that kernel was popcorn and exploded in her face. “You turned yourself into a glass charm, and now you can’t change back. How is that possible? You can always change back.”

“Dear Fluttershy, you know me so well. The infinitely, malleable, me is indeed normally flexible and protean to the extreme. But, no. I did not intend this change for myself,” Discord lamented as he bowed his head in dismay. “It was that dratted cat.”

“Now we are getting somewhere. Would this be the changeling you talked about, Fluttershy?”

“I’m not sure. Are you talking about the panther that showed up just before you disappeared, Discord?”

“The exact one,” Discord agreed.

“Wait, Cat was a cat?” Luna’s expression showed a sudden awareness of the ridiculousness of her words.

“Yes. I didn’t know her real name and when she turned into me, the female me, I wasn’t really thinking clearly. I didn’t want to call her ‘hey you’, so I just started calling her Cat.”

Discord meanwhile had pulled out a huge pocket watch and was tapping it impatiently. “Are you done now? I’ve got a tale of woe to tell here.”

“I’m sorry. Please go ahead.”

“It wasn’t us who wasted all that time trying to duck the truth,” Luna snarled, and then reared back as Discord tossed her a rubber duck.

“As I was saying, before I was so rudely interrupted. It was that darn cat. And not the movie star one either in case you were thinking that. I merely wanted to set the beast aside until after dear Fluttershy and I had consummated our passion. How was I to know the mangy feline was walking around with a loaded goddess-level shield on her? My totally inoffensive and harmless spell bounced, and well... Here I am. Or not, as seems to be the case. Seeing as I’m really over there,” he finished, pointing at the charm Fluttershy was still holding.

Fluttershy looked down at the charm and found she was gripping it rather tightly. Suddenly frightened, she loosened her hold and looked at if for cracks.

“Oh, don’t worry, dear Fluttershy. You could drop a castle on it and not break it, darn the luck.”

“Breaking it would free you then?” Luna asked.

“Oh, assuredly. But as I said, that is not so easily accomplished. My magic is not so easily thwarted, unlike that of some pony who I would never name.” A sign shaped like a hand with a finger pointing popped up behind Luna. On it was written, *some pony* and *easily thwarted*.

“At least you can talk to us,” Fluttershy suggested, trying to come up with something positive about the situation.

“For a short time. Again, I’m just too good for my own good. I spent the last month building my reserves. I’ll need to take a nap soon and build them up again. I do hope you will give me a hoof with that, dear Fluttershy.”

“Of course. Anything.”

“Not so quickly. Just how can she help you? I will not allow you to drain her natural magic to fuel your periods of self-awareness.”

“Perish the thought. It’s my own magic I wish to drain. Now you may have missed it, seeing how you were so busy drooling over Fluttershy’s ample endowments, but she’s not currently residing in her usual body.”

“I had noticed,” Luna said in a dry tone.

“Well done, you. Now I am very proud of that spell. It works with her body’s natural inclination for a good part of the effect. But the gender-shift is all mine. The spell is self-sustaining, but because it is my magic I can draw on it. Draining Fluttershy’s magic would be beyond my ability, but my own magic should gravitate to me naturally.”

“What do I have to do?” Fluttershy asked.

“Simply wear me close to your heart, dear Fluttershy. My magic will do the rest. But, I must warn you. There is a serious downside.”

“I knew it. I will not allow this.”

“What is it?”

“It’s quite dreadful. I can’t use magic, and drain magic, at the same time. I’m afraid while I’m recharging I will not be able to communicate with you. Horrible, I know. I’ll understand totally if you refuse to make such a sacrifice.”

“She will do it!” Luna’s horn glowed and a thread of silver pulled loose from her vestments and floated over to Fluttershy.

When Fluttershy’s thick fingers proved too large to tie the fine thread, Luna used her magic and quickly secured the thread to the little glass figure, and then looped it around Fluttershy’s neck so it hung in the middle of her impressive masculine chest.

“Well, I guess this is adieu for now. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but we will meet again on the morow.”

“Yes, yes, Fluttershy will miss you deeply, now go to sleep!” Luna growled.

Discord placed a palm against the side of Fluttershy’s face, and faded away.

“Do you think he’s alright?” Fluttershy asked as she pulled the charm away from her chest and looked down at it.

“He is Discord, he is never ‘quite right’. But don’t worry, this is a very minor inconvenience to him. Now let it lay against your chest so he can soak up the magic he needs. Quickly before he comes back and asks us what is taking so long. For the next two hours.”

Fluttershy clutched the Discord charm against her heavily muscled chest, and was sure she could feel warmth radiating from it, and maybe even a heartbeat. In fact she was feeling very warm, and a little dizzy. She wavered on her feet and reached out to steady herself on the back of a chair.

Luna had dispelled her dream magic as soon as Discord faded from sight. Her awareness shifted back to her physical body and she blinked her eyes open. She was just in time to see Fluttershy enveloped in a golden light that made her squint. The glow was so bright she could only make out Fluttershy’s silhouette, but that was enough to tell that something was happening to the bulky vampony. She seemed to be shrinking. “Damn you, Discord. If this was all a trick…” She trailed off as the glow faded and she saw what had happened to Fluttershy.

The first and most obvious impression was that Fluttershy was smaller, and female, now. But that didn’t come close to describing the visual impact of what had happened to her. Luna tallied her birthday by centuries, and had once been an evil queen. She had seen and done things that would blast the mind of a lesser pony. Despite that she had to clench her will to the utmost to keep from squeeing from sheer cute overload.

Fluttershy was freaking adorable. She was still a vampony, if female, but whereas her male body had been intimidating, her rather fluffy female form made you want to hug and cuddle her. Her hair had grown a couple of inches longer all over her body, giving her a soft cuddly form. Her muzzle was blunt, with cute little fangs that didn’t look in the least fearful. Her ears were still long with tufts on the tips, and as they flexed and bent toward each faint sound they invited fingers to stroke along their soft length to see if they could possible be as velvety as they looked.

She once again had an impressive rack, her breasts bountiful and bouncing as she shifted her body to look down at herself. Her hips swelled out enough to give her a nice shape, but as was the case with most flying ponies, were not nearly as broad as an earth pony. Her tail was long and luxurious and simply begged to be brushed for hours on end.

Luna had to avert her eyes to avoid being overcome by the urge to sweep Fluttershy up and crush her against her own chest while burying her muzzle in her pale pink mane. She was sure it would smell of strawberries.

“Oh, I’m female,” Fluttershy said in a happy tone of voice. She cupped her breasts with her hands as if welcoming them back. Her expression turned uncertain as she took note of her current fluffiness. But it wasn’t long before a huge smile blossomed across her face. “I’m so cute,” she murmured, while thinking she looked like the most adorable pet in the world. While she had been resigned to the fact that nopony in Equestria would want a huge vicious vampony for a pet, her new body would not have that issue. Her only problem was selecting which owner she wanted.

‘Oh, crap!” Luna cursed. Her legs turned rubbery and she had to sit down. She cradled her face in her hands and wondered where it had all gone wrong. Now what was she going to do?

“Is something the matter?” Fluttershy asked in concern. She trotted over to Luna and dropped to her knees in front of her, and in a move that seemed the most natural thing in the world, she nuzzled the back of Luna’s hands with her muzzle.

“Oh, nothing much,” Luna said with a sigh as she lowered her hands. Giving into temptation she lightly patted Fluttershy on the top of her head and then stroked her long ears gently. “I just realized I now have five infected females to keep healthy, and no infected males to make it easy.”

As you've noticed I've skipped a lot of material to get to here. Mainly because I wanted to start having fun with this and I think I've done enough world building that regular readers will understand what is going on in the background.

Next chapter I finally get to do a Clocktower Scenario, sort of. It's the coming of Eprdus. Who's that. Why he's "Evil Prince Dusk Shine" of course. And he is treating poor Lady Rarity most dreadfully.
