Guided By The Light
Chapter 17: Chapter 15: All consuming darkness (unedited)
Previous Chapter Next ChapterI was in the throne room of my temple, sitting on my throne. My head was resting in my right hand as I disinterestedly and with a modicum of boredom watched as pony after pony came to me about the changes I caused yesterday. I even spotted a gryphon or two in the line, while rare it was not all that suspicious. What connected them all however was that they were all naked. Which was having an effect if my damp panties were anything to go by. Currently, I was seeing to Lyra heartstrings, as I mentally try and keep my mind off sexier activities.
“Your highness, My room mate Bonbon…” I raised a questioning eyebrow at her obvious lie, “Er I mean mare friend,” she chuckled nervously as my expression soften into a more comforting and kind expression.
“She told me that you were telling ponies about their new bodies and explaining things about them, I … “ I interrupted her by holding up my palm and then pointing upwards to a sign I had made, an FAQ of sorts. Lyra looked up at the sign and read it.
Q: Do I really need clothes?
A:Yes, you need clothes. Why? To keep you warm and to cover up certain parts of anatomy that are now exposed.”(heh exposed)Q: What are these things on my chest, or what I assume is my chest?
A: They are called breasts, they are also called mammaries, ponies had them before hoof however they were placed inguinally, and were smaller.Q:What does inguinally mean?
A:It means that the mammaries are situated below or on the abdomen.Q: How do we fly now?
A: See Captain Rainbow Dash and Captain Nova Flare for lessons. For a brief explanation nothing changes except body position and wing angling. Hovering while standing straight or arched over slightly flap your wings downwards relative to your body. To fly forward, do what you would normally do, however you must be angled forward and as flat as a board, below is an example: insert image here.Q: What are these claw like things where my hooves were?
A: The four long ones are fingers, from left to right(on the right hand, left is a mirror of the right) they are index, middle, ring and pinkie the one on the left side of the hand after the wrist is called a thumb. Hands are for picking things up, holding things, stroking, petting or punching so not much different from hooves. They can also be used for tickling, used to climb, for self pleasure and they are very dexterous.
“I am sorry your Highness? But my question isn’t up there,” Lyra responded causing me to perk up,
“Well then Miss Heartstrings, tell me your question,” I said with a warm smile at the young mare. I then conjured a drink of wine in a golden goblet.
“Well you see, I noticed how these bodies look similar to a mythical creature from the old legends. They are called humans, and I have been researching about them,” Lyra explained earnestly. I almost did a spit-take as I force myself to swallow before giggling.
I saw ponies rolling their eyes in exasperation, and muttering, Lyra looked confused as I devolved into giggles, “… I am sorry your highness? But what is so funny?”
When I’d recovered from my giggle fit I composed myself, “I am sorry miss Heartstrings. Continue, please, I am not laughing at you,” I reassured her.
After looking at me for a moment she continued, “You see I have tried to ask your fiance, but the guards or the nobles stonewall me. Seeing as you’re as old as Princess Celestia, you would know about whether humans exist or existed?” she asked and looked up at me with hopeful innocent curious eyes, I was about to answer her when there were cries of ‘Don’t waste time on her crackpot theories!’, ‘Humans are just fictional creatures!’ or ‘Get out of here this is a place for serious problems,’ I sighed and facepalmed as I saw Lyra begin to tear up.
Silence! I demanded in the Royal Canterlot voice, causing the room to shake silencing the jeers.
Afterwards I composed myself and continued,“This is my court, not yours, remember your place! As for miss Heartstrings question ....” I held my answer for a beat as ponies leant in, “Humans exist and have existed, being that I used to be one myself.” I declared, the silence was deafening as ponies tried to process what I had just said. One pony got the courage to ask,
“You’re kidding right, your highness? Right?” I turned to pony and give him my best ‘you wanna bet’ looks.
“That’s right my little ponies, I was once of that fabled race, before I ascended to goddesshood,” I said as I shifted to my human like form, It’s not like it’s a lie or anything, I just hope ‘Tia isn’t mad at me for revealing it.
“a long, long, long time ago, I was a member of that advanced race, or as you just called us fictional.” The room was deathly silently as the ponies who said that sputtered apologies so as not to lose my favor, Parasites the lot of them.
“Human beings, homo sapiens sapiens, they do not exist in this world anymore however or if they do they are very good at hiding. You’ll find them in other Equestria’s, where they are human versions of you all.
“Oh and before I forget those bodies you currently have are a half human, half pony species called an anthro,” I explained with all seriousness. I shifted form back to anthro alicorn,
“Humans are real? I was right? I am finally vindicated! Thank you!” Lyra cheered in excitement as jumped and whooped and hugged me, which caught me slightly off guard as I gave her a good natured smile.
“Your very welcome, Miss Heartstrings,” I said with a warmer smile at her, as she ran away to tell BonBon no doubt.
The same pony who questioned me piped up again, “now that she is gone, you can tell us the truth humans don’t exist right?” he asked
I glared at the pony, “Do not make me repeat myself, humans are real, they exist,” I said as I showed them memories from my life, “This is the human species, at the time the global population was seventeen billion with more being born each day.
They were the sole sapients on our world, ponies and horses were sentient but weren’t sapient. Humans controlled their world as apex predators, the most powerful weapon they created ended two cities with a single attack each. Those two cities were annihilated, some one hundred thousand and twenty nine lives were lost in the initial blasts. The total death toll reached two hundred and forty six thousand people who died over the course of six months. This was due to burns, radiation sickness, and other injuries.
However this was not an unprovoked attack as the victims had attacked first, killing two thousand four hundred and three people. Though the retaliation was horrible, it was meant to discourage further hostile actions in a war they didn’t start.” I took a moment to let them compose themselves as they got over the horror, I had just exposed them too.
“Humans are quite chaotic beings capable of great deeds and acts of selflessness that would shame any pony, and yet that same human could be capable of horrors that not even the greatest of villains on this world are capable. They are capable of great culture and artistic works and also extremely advanced technology thanks to their nimble and dexterous fingers. In fact I have influence this world so that at least some of the good or benign technologies exist here. Humans aren’t black and white like ponies, we are more nuanced, we are shades of gray,” I finished explaining, some of the ponies looked pale and others had run off to empty their lunches in the nearest trash cans.” I snickered internally as I watched them squirm.
“If you wish to learn more about humans, I would gladly show and tell you all, perhaps you can avoid the same mistakes we made.” I offered with a sad smile as I returned to my throne,
“Well that aside court is adjourned for today, go home to your families and friends, Experiment with your new bodies,” I added with a lecherous grin, causing many ponies to blush and sputter.
After everyone left my Temple I began making my way towards Carousel boutique with plans to meet with Rarity, and on the way I cut through the park while enjoying the scenery, which was curiously deserted of anypony.
A dozen griffons dove from the cover of bushes and clouds, they surrounded me with crossbows, one of them shouted “Get on your knees!” while aiming his crossbow at me,
and I responded with, “I'm not your mother last night!” sporting a wide shit eating grin,
and they took exception to that, The griffons all fired their crossbows, perforating my body, blood splattered everywhere and I fell to the floor in bits.
One of the griffon assassins spit on me and said “Pah and she called herself a goddess!?”
But you know how that song and dance goes as they turned to leave, I began to chuckle psychotically, as my blood withdrew back into my body and my body parts dissolved and reformed into a shadow that flowed together reforming into my non anthro dragoness form, as they walked away,
“Die sonne…”[The sun] I started to sing in time with the music, as I reformed, darkness spilling from my eyes.
“Der monde…”[The moon]
“Die sterne…”[The stars]
“Sie werfen licht auf die welt…” [They throw light on the world]
“Die sonne…”[The sun]
“Der monde…”[The moon]
“Die sterne…”[The stars]
“Sie werfen licht auf die welt…” [They throw light on the world]
“ein Dunkel lädt mich zur anderen Welt ein...”[Dark one invites me to another world]
“ein Dunkel lädt mich zur Verdorbenheit ein…”[invite me to a dark depravity]
“es ist schön, verdächtig und grässlich…”[it's nice and terribly suspicious]
their heads looked around to see where the choir music was coming from stumbling every now and one of them turned around, screamed and cried out in panic as I grabbed her and threw her into my mouth and swallowed her whole, “Yum! Tastes like chicken!” I taunted as I crushed another under my clawed hand. Shaking the land.
“Zweifel ist eine Pforte [Doubt is a gate]
die geht zum wertlosen Eden [That goes to the worthless eden]
Zweifel ist ein Zugang [Doubt is an access]
der gert zum schönen Eden.” [siege to the beautiful Eden]
I turned and grabbed another griffon who tried to run. Using my tail I grabbed another and threw him away into the Everfree, another three quickly following the first down my gullet.
“starker Glaube ist ein dorniger Weg
mit einem Lichtschwert” [strong faith is a thorny path
with a light saber]
I turned behind me as I used my photon breath weapon to extinguish another three more behind me, two more died as I slashed them with my left claw turning them into ribbons of meat.
“Dubios” [dubious]
“Engel oder teufel” [Angel or devil]
“Ominös” [ominous]
“Guttat oder böse Tat” [Good deed and evil deed]
This left one who threw a javelin, I raised my magic shield to prove a point that I wasn’t even trying only for it to pierce my shield as if butter, I dodged to the side and grabbed the haft of the javelin, and grinned at the griffon that was left.
“blaues Licht”
schneid das tiefe Dunkel durch
schneid den dornigen Weg auf
blaues Feuer
verbrenne vollständig die andere Welt”
[blue light
cutting through the deep darkness
tapping on the thorny path
blue fire
burned completely to the other world]
He took out a primitive pistol and shot himself in the head to avoid meeting the same fate as his comrades. I returned to my anthro alicorn form and smiled, which faded immediately at the sight of the destroyed park.
Growling in exasperation, I clicked my fingers restoring the destroyed area. And cleaning up the mess of corpses. foals and ponies don’t need to see this charnage, I thought to myself.
I looked at the strange javelin, the haft was normal oak, the tip was a green metal the balance was ridiculously weighted towards the tip. I store it in my inventory deck for later as I don’t trust it in my magic.
As I exited the gateway towards, the section of town that held Rarity’s store, I saw another group of griffons waiting with crossbows at the ready.
“Hi guys, how’s your health plan? Apparently it’s great!” I grinned evilly. Oh I love Abridged Alucard. I just hope my foals are still safe I thought as I rubbed my distended belly. They flinched and tried to run away whimpering in fear as I smirked
“Sie sind die Beute und ich bin der Jäger!” [You are the prey and I am the hunter!]
Rarity, tapped her foot nervously on the floor of her shop, “where is she!? Palutena should have been here by now.” she muttered to herself as she began to pace, did she stand me up? her thoughts were interrupted when I entered the shop covered in blood and gore and deep wounds, walking in as if nothing had happened, “Palutena! What happened to you!?” Rarity exclaimed.
“Hello Rarity, sorry I am late, I had some unexpected business come up,” I explained as I burped up a griffon feather and I hid the feather, “ops hehehe just forget you saw that,” I said as I saw Rarity pale, and look a bit green around the gills, “It’s best if you don’t think about it dear.” I consoled her.
“Still before we get to business, how have you been Rarity?” I asked her shaking from her paralyzing fear.
“Actually darling, I wanted to asked you to restore my memory, I don’t think you should show favouritism when mares out there have no such option.” Rarity explained and held a serious look of determination on her face,
“Rarity, do you understand what you are asking? This won't be repressed, you’ll experience it as if it is happening right now, are you sure?” I asked as I watched her face, as she nodded resolutely, I sighed at her response, “very well, I won't do it yet, as I’d prefer to do my business with you. When your not a fragile mess.” I continued getting another nod from the mare.
“The business is simple, and it could make you a billionaire assuming you capitalise on it,” I grabbed hold of my breasts as I explained, “these are called breasts or mammaries, there is an underwear garment that is used to support them called a bra, I am going to sell you the design and right to use it. You’ll be ahead of every other designer, tailor or dressmaker. While normally bra’s are utilitarian, they also serve a function as lingerie similar to how ponies use socks.” at the mention of socks Rarity blushed and looked away, d’awww you’re so adorably innocent Rarity.
“It’ll cost one hundred bits and ten percent of your profits as royalties, do we have a deal” I ask as I conjured a floating scroll.
“This is a legally binding contract Rarity, once you sign this I’ll expect you to uphold your end.” I explained as the mare took on a thinking pose as she processed how to proceed.
“Deal!” Rarity finally announced after ten minutes had gone by and signed the document.
“Here are the patterns you will need,” I said as I placed my hand on her forehead, “ okay that's one hundred bits, Rarity.” Rarity quickly levitated over a bag of bits that I sent to my treasury, “Pleasure doing business with you,” I said as I sent the patterns into her memory, including a few bonuses like shoes, men and women's underwear as well as a few modern clothing designs.
“And you Lady Palutena,” she replied. My smile vanished.
“Prepare yourself Rarity, it’s time to remember,” I grimaced remorsefully and sent the painful memories back to where they belonged. Rarity’s expression blanked and her pupils shrunk, as tears streamed down her face. I wrapped her up in a hug that broke her recollection and she started screaming and hitting me, I bore her hits and her cursing as I held her and stroked her mane in an attempt to calm her down.
“Rarity, calm down, it’s me, Palutena! It's not Blueblood!” I shouted causing her to freeze as she realised she was safe and tears began anew sobbing into my coat.
At that moment, a ragged and unkempt Twilight sparkle dove through the door, “Rarity do you have a friendship prob.... .” Twilight froze mid sentence as she spotted the scene, and then turned around and tried to escape.
I rolled my eyes and caught her in my magic, and brought her back as she slumped in defeat. “Mom~” she whined as I sat her down.
“Twilight Sparkle, look at you! You’re a mess!” I said as I conjured up a mane brush and began to brush Twilight’s mane and tail,
“Pleased don’t tell mom that I forgot to do my report on friendship, I don’t want to go back to magic kindergarten!” She exclaimed, while Rarity looked incredulously at the lavender mare.” I sighed Lesson zero eh? I thought exasperatedly
“Twilight, my silly little filly, nopony is going to send you to magic kindergarten, Celestia never actually set a deadline, and said to send a report only if you learn something. So my daughter what did you learn today?” I asked, as I continued to brush her mane waiting for her answer, “Nothing!” Twilight whined,
“If that is true then you do not need to send a report, and if you actually had asked mom instead of looking for a problem she would tell you the same,” I explained softly.
“By the way Mother. Why are you wounded, did Rarity do something to you!?” Twilight asked a dangerous tone in her voice upon seeing my wounds while I moved to brush her tail.
“My dear filly, it was not Rarity who did this. It was a group of griffon mercenaries or assassins that tried to kill me.”
I pulled the javelin, which was meant to be stuck in me from my inventory and showed her it, which caused her to jump away and hiss at it with her coat standing on end like a cat.
“Orichalcum!?” Twilight screeched, “that would have killed you had that hit you! We must tell Mom about this if a griffon has gotten hold of this god killing metal alloy we must warn her,” I put it away and looked about the room even Rarity had dived away from me. Sighing I got to my feet and stretched and cracked my neck.
“Twilight, tell Celestia I’ll be home soon. I need to gather material to heal these wounds Twilight nodded and ran out of the shop to warn Celestia as I formed a shadow portal and slipping into the shadow realm.
I came out by a cave that belonged to a certain emerald green dragon, as I entered I was greeted by the sight of a sleeping giant anthro dragoness with double J cup breasts, emerald scales. Laying on top of her hoard. On the hoard I spotted a ruby shaped into a dildo, with a smirk I picked it up while purposefully causing some noise, I flicked my tail out of the way and showing her my pussy, when I was sure she could see, I inserted the ruby inside myself. She roared as she saw that I was defiling her hoard and threw her clawed fist at me, I grinned and caught it with a grunt from the sudden exertion, I grinned up at the confused dragoness As she launched a flurry of attacks parried with a single hand her tail came out of nowhere and slammed into me, “Hah! Gotcha, how do you like...that!?” When she finally noticed that her attack failed and that she couldn't pull her tail back I spun her around and grew to her size, her eyes widened as I slammed her on her back, she struggled as I had her pinned but her struggles proved to be in vain, her slit pupils shrunk in fear when she felt my body envelop hers, she struggled much harder to escape than before. As she looked up at me I saw reflected in her scared eyes that my eyes were solid black leaking shadows, I overpowered her and assimilated her body.
After I finally assimilated her body, which took several hours to pass the time I took on her form and started masturbating and sucked on my new nipples as her mind still hadn't been absorbed I give her a front row seat. I could sense her horror as she was helpless to stop my ministrations as pleasure pulsed through me. I reform my body to it’s anthro alicorn shape and size as wounds were rapidly healing I sent my new hoard to my vault in Ponyville, with the aid of fifty imp light constructs an imp came running up to me with a single dragon egg, it’d be wrong to let this baby die before it's even born so I took the egg with me storing it in my inventory, I rubbed my belly as I hummed contentedly, and I teleported to Twilight’s library.
Where Twilight was pacing, she was now wearing a navy pleated skirt, and a white sleeveless shirt and a pair of white sneakers. Spike sat off in the corner wearing a plain white hoodie and pants, she was also wearing black sneakers while watching the library’s TV. “Hey mom, Sis is freaking out again,” she said in greeting, causing Twilight to notice I was back.
“Thank you, Spike, you know perhaps you should change your name to fit your true sex?” I replied as Twilight launched at me and wrapped her arms around me,
“I dunno what would you call me? You did adopt me alongside Twilight.” Spike responded after taking sometime to think,
“How about Cynder?” I suggested
“Nope, don’t like it,” She said shaking her head.
“Saphira?” I suggested again
“Do i look blue to you,” She snarked
“Alexstrasza?” I said that time with a raised eyebrow,
“What? How do you even pronounce that name?”
“How about Amythixia or Amythia for short?” I asked hopefully
“Nope,” came her short reply,
Growling in exasperation, “how about Theia,” I suggested.
“I like it, but what does it mean?” Theia asked
“It was my mother’s name,” I explained.
“Whoa, wait a minute won't that get confusing?” Theia asked worry in her voice.
“Well she is dead so I doubt she would take much issue with it,” I replied ruefully.
“Your mother died!?” Twilight and Theia exclaimed.
“And father,” I added.
“What!? How?” they both asked in unison.
“Mother died in childbirth, and four or five years later, father died saving people from a burning home died of carbon monoxide poisoning and smoke inhalation,”
“Theia, means goddess, and was the name of a titaness of light, that gave birth to Helios the sun god, Selene the moon goddess and Eos the goddess of the dawn from greek mythology, I guess there is major irony there,” I said wistfully.
An alarm bell rang and Twilight jumped up in a panick.
“Mother! The trains about to leave! My friends are already there at the station!” I rolled my eyes as Twilight grabbed us and teleported us to the station.
Appearing suddenly next to the girls startled them but relaxed when they saw it was me Twilight and Theia.
AJ, wore an orange shirt with a pair of denim jeans, brown calf high boots and her trademark Stetson. Rainbow Dash was wearing a pink mini skirt, over bike shorts and a simple t-shirt with her cutie mark on it and a pair of white sneakers
Fluttershy wore a simple light green summer dress and a wide brimmed hat and some white sandals. Rarity wore a simple light lavender dress, though strangely enough she went with high heels.
Pinkie wore a simple black cotton pair of pants and a blue tank top and a pair of pink sneakers.
“How are you holding up AJ” I asked the cowgirl as I approached the group.
“Ah’m holdin’ up as well as you might expected after what happened to granny,” sadly, “but I can't let that get in the way of living mah life, granny wouldn't want me to keep moping over her death,” she said resolutely.
I turned to Captain Dash, “So Captain off duty are we?” I asked playfully.
“I am never off duty ma'am,” she stood at attention and saluted. I giggled in response,
“I see, so where is your Armor?” I teased,
“Apologies ma’am, but it is currently getting reforged to fit my new figure,” I smiled warmly at her,
“that’s okay Captain, I also heard from a little bird that you’ve been getting awfully close to my priestess, Chrysanthemum,” I teased causing Dash’s face to heat up in embarrassment, I saw Rarity’s face contort into a predatory grin like she’d caught whiff of a wounded prey, as she sauntered over to Rainbow grabbed her by the arm and dragged her into the train that had just arrived. While Rainbow had a look of betrayal on her face. The rest of us followed them, this was going to be a long day.
As I reach the door I said absently, “Before I forget Spike is now going by the name Theia, named after my deceased mother. As Spike isn't a mare’s name.”
“What!?” Everyone except Twilight and Theia who just had a sad expression on their faces.
“How can ya be so flippant about losing a family member?” Applejack asked obviously disturbed about it.
“She died giving birth to me and about four or five years later my father died saving people from a house fire. He got them out but smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning ended his life, I am “flippant” as you put it because for me that happened over a thousand years ago,” I replied
