“Good morning Tia!” Luna greeted her sister from the kitchen of the villa they shared as her older sibling hobbled her way through from her bedroom on her crutches. ‘Morning’ was only just appropriate, given that it was eleven forty five. She sat at the kitchen table enjoying the pancakes that her pet had made for her. “You slept well I trust?”

Celestia put her crutches aside, resting them against the table, she sat at the table. Almost instantly, a plate of blueberry pancakes complete with chocolate sauce was slid in front of her along with a knife and fork. “I did, thank you for the pancakes, Leelee.” It came as no surprise to her that, seconds later, a hot cup of jasmine tea was placed next to the plate.

For her actions, Luna granted Cheerilee a kiss, as well as patting the empty chair next to her. While she had her cushion on the floor, every so often she liked to treat her. “You said you were meeting with Moonsilver next week?” she asked with a mildly amused smile on her face as she watched her sister nod, her mouth stuffed full of pancake, “You do remember that next week is the Senior Graduates Charity event up at the camp?”

All of a sudden, Celestia ceased in her chewing and she facepalmed at the table. As it happened, what with everything else going on in her life at the moment, with Moonsilver, Sunset Shimmer, Applejack, the Princesses, the centaurs and everything else, the charity event coming up at Camp Everfree had completely and utterly slipped her mind. “Um…no, no I don’t…”

“Well I don't think we need to let it change your plans,” Luna stated after letting it hang in the air for a few moments like a scythe over her sister’s head, “I have you covered.”

“Thanks Lu, you're a lifesaver!”

~ ~ ~

Principal Celestia was a very happy woman indeed when she threw open the front door of her villa and strode inside. Wearing just her swimsuit and wrap – accentuated by a rather fetching pair of sandals and of course her collar, the fifty year old struck a most heroic pose in the hall between the living room and kitchen. “Look at me, Lulu!” she declared, throwing her hands up in the air, “No cast!”

Luna stuck her head out of the kitchen to have a look and she was most pleased to see her older sister back from her latest doctor’s appointment. “But you still have the crutches?”

Celestia rolled her eyes and snorted through her nose in irritation. “Dr. Bone Meal insisted I keep them, just in case my leg isn't as healed as the X-rays says it is.” She turned to the living room and she tossed the crutches into a corner, happy to see the back of them. She knew her leg was all healed, thanks to the Healing Stone she wore at her neck. “A pox on him!” She then sighed, supposing that it wasn’t the doctor’s fault for being sceptical. She was healed weeks early than she should be. Still, now she could really play with her Master! “I won't lie, I'm so looking forward to being with him in the forest now my leg is healed.” Thinking about Moonsilver, Celestia smiled, “He's taking me camping, says he's got a good spot!”

“Between your legs?” Cheerilee asked with an impish grin on her face before the naked submissive ducked back into the kitchen out of sight. She did have a dinner to finish cooking and a Mistress who had a fearsome aim when she swung a crop.

Luna though, couldn’t quite hide the very wide smile that crept over her face. “What can I say,” she said, shrugging her shoulders, “she is good at being naughty.”

“It's a good naughty,” Celestia beamed, her smile only getting wider when she breathed in the scents of what Cheerilee was cooking. For all her attributes as a teacher, damn if she wasn’t a great cook. From the smells she was smelling, it seemed like she had gotten back at the right time. “I like it and I've been taking notes!”

“That’s why I'm a teacher!” Cheerilee called back from the kitchen.

“Twenty students signed up for the camp,” Luna stated seriously, her tone managing to draw her sister’s attention back from the prospect of filling her belly to the matters at hand, “That includes those seven girls that seem to attract, what you call, ‘magic’.” The Vice Principal added the air quotes to the last word, even though her tone said it all.

Cheerilee again poked her head out from the kitchen, where she had been skilfully working the stove, “That includes Rarity. Hey! We can wear matching swimsuits!” the rather impish submissive watched for Celestia's reaction to her last statement, even though she was being quite serious.

Celestia laughed at her sister’s use of the air quotes as well as the sceptical nature of her tone and her posture. “I call it magic because that's what it is, Lulu. What else can it be?” As her sister shook her head, she turned to Cheerilee, the smile was still on her face, it suited her. “I'm taking that skinny Brazillian swimsuit, as it happens, Leelee, but I doubt i'll be wearing it once Silver...I mean Master, and I get to his camp.”

Brandishing her ladle like it was a pointer and she was back in class, Cheerilee shrugged. “I'm good with that, it’s just a stroll to the end of the pier before we have to cover for you.”

“It'll be the tiniest travel case ever, I think.” Celestia giggled, leaning against the wall in the hall between the living room and the kitchen, mentally ticking off items in her head as well as on her fingers. “Let’s see, swimsuit, sun cream, done!”

“Sandals too, I hope.” Luna pointed down to her sister’s sandal-clad feet. “Your feet aren't tough enough yet to run about the forest barefoot.”

“Well, true…” Celestia condeded with a little frown. Following her sister’s finger just made her look down to her pudgy pot belly and her thick thighs. That made her frown deepen, and she sighed. “Sandals then, and perhaps a wrap over the swimsuit.”

Luna caught the frown and matched it with one of her own, particularly as her older sibling had made such progress in getting herself back to herself. “Perhaps.”

Again, Celestia looked down at herself, her shoulders visibly sagging. “I don't want to give the kids nightmares…”

Luna wasn’t about to have any of that nonsense. Standing from her seat at the kitchen table where she had been enjoying the view of Cheerilee’s ass, she walked over and hugged Celestia tightly, holding their bikini clad bodies together. “What matters is your own self image first. Silver's second. Other's…never.” She giggled, “Besides it could go with my dreamscape studies.”

Warmed by the hug from her little sister, Celestia managed a genuine smile. “I'm getting better with my self image, Lu, honest.” In truth, she really was ‘getting there’, or ‘getting over her issues’, as the phrase went, thanks in no small part to Luna, Cheerilee, Berryshine and Roseluck. She hadn’t had any of her dark self destructive thoughts now for a few days shy of a month. Suddenly, she giggled behind her hand, knowing that was Moonsilver’s doing. “You're right, Lu, Thank you.” Speaking of Moonsilver, “Soooo...when are we leaving for the camp?” she asked, looking a lot like a teenager excited for her first date.

“We drive together in my car and leave at seven thirty in the morning,” Luna recited from memory, having helped coordinate the coach with the depot owners. “Leelee rides with the students. She has to be at the school by seven to get the coach, but it leaves at the same time as us.”

Letting loose a happy sigh, Celestia relaxed tension from her muscles she didn’t realise she was holding in. “Thank the Great Forest I don't have to ride with the kids.... ahem...not that they aren't great, but jeez the way they sing all the time...” she shuddered, banishing the memory. It wasn’t just that, but there’s only so much Pinkie Pie one could stand in an enclosed space.

“I'm good with that!” Cheerilee beamed, the smile in her voice. She didn’t turn around though. She had to retrieve the meat from the oven, which she did with a gratuitous and unnecessary amount of bending over, and check on the roast veggies. Plus, she had a plan. If the kids weren’t going to sing, then she would start them going.

“I'll admit,” Celestia sighed reluctantly, “I'll miss them after these holidays.”

“Maybe,” Luna agreed, “but it will be interesting what this rampant magic does to influence the underclassmen.”

Celestia had to agree that was certainly interesting, something she gave voice to. “Interesting is the word, I think, Lu. And, we have that little blind girl starting too, Wildfire I think her name is, don't forget, who transferred to us from her other school over in Trottingham.”

“One individual does not make a data set,” Luna pointed out as she drained the last of her coffee from her midnight black coffee mug, the one with the constellations on that Cheerilee had bought her for her birthday three years ago. She loved the mug dearly, even though the constellations had been used to spell out ‘Best Mistress’ and were thus in the wrong places. “But still, it’ll definitely be interesting to see what happens.”

“I'm sure she'll be fine!” Celestia waved her hand dismissively in the air and drank her glass of water. Suddenly, a thoroughly excited look crossed her face, making her look very much like a child on Christmas who had just been given what she had asked for. “I'm going to go pack!” With that, and giggling like a teenager, the fifty year old ran from the kitchen, even though they weren’t going until the next morning.

Predictably, Luna rolled her eyes at her older sister’s disappearing scantily clad rear end. “We aren’t going until tomorrow!”

“Don’t care!”

“Then again, Lee, she may need all night to pack.” Luna snarked, reaching for her coffee mug and then sighing dramatically into her hands, “Trying to find a bag small enough!”

Cheerilee giggled as Celestia offered her sister a loud raspberry from her bedroom, since her Mistress had purposefully made her comment loud enough to be heard. “Is it me,” the fuchsia woman asked somewhat rhetorically as she set the meat to rest on the kitchen worktop, “or does she look twenty years younger lately, Mistress?”

“Acts, Leelee,” Luna corrected her pet gently, “the word is ‘acts’, and I approve.”

“Me too!” Cheerilee skipped over and placed a kiss on her girlfriend’s lips. “Would you like another coffee, Mistress?” She had taken Luna’s hint of rattling the empty coffee mug under her nose that she would very much like a refill.

“Please, pet, now how is dinner coming along?” asked Luna, having no skill whatsoever with cooking, she had no idea when the roast was ready or not. ‘That’s what Leelee is for’, she thought with a wry smile to herself. That, and she was much better looking than a microwave oven.

Cheerilee took a look at the resting meat. “It's…it’s coming along, Mistress.” It wasn’t resting as fast as she’d like. So, instead, she turned and wiggled her bare ass at her girlfriend. “The roast is resting, the veggies are done, and the ice cream I made has set, everything just needs a few more minutes. Ish.”

Again, Luna rolled her eyes, this time at her pet and she reached for her phone and she sent Celestia a text message. ‘Dinner in five minutes, Tia’. “Thank you, Leelee.” Luna smiled in gratitude when a fresh mug of steaming hot coffee was placed in front of her. She decided a treat was in order. “Would you like to eat at the table tonight?”

“Yes please, Mistress!” Cheerilee quickly agreed, taking, as she bowed respectfully, the opportunity to eat from a plate rather than her pet bowl for a change. Such treats didn’t come around often, so when they did, she grabbed them. “Thank you, Mistress!” she veritably skipped around the kitchen, getting the plates, cutlery, and prepping the dinner.

~ ~ ~

The next morning, Vice Principal Luna was awoken in her bed, not by the sunlight sreaming valiantly through her dark blue drapes, but by her girlfriend and pet softly kissing the soles of her feet. Not the worst way to wake up, certainly. In addition to the feeling of Cheerilee’s lips on her feet, she was also treated to the delicious smells of breakfast being made and coffee being brewed. “Since you're with me, Leelee,” she said as she reluctantly sat up, “That must mean that Tia has made the coffee. I think I’m liking my new little sis.” She giggled and tapped Cheerilee’s nose with her toes. “Coffee, the great mood enhancer.”

Lifting her head up from Luna’s perfect, beautiful feet, the blush on her fuchsia cheeks matching the deep red glow that was colouring her other set of cheeks. She had been very naughty indeed the day before at dinner and boy had her Mistress let her know it. “I um, I’m sorry I forgot the sugars in your coffee yesterday at dinner, Mistress.”

“As well as you should be.” Luna casually inspected her fingernails, having decided to cross the T’s and dot the I’s, as it were. The next time she allowed her pet to sit at and eat at the table, she would be grateful. In some respects, she blamed herself. She had been neglecting her pet for a few weeks now. “You may eat your breakfast in sitting in your lovely hard wood chair.”

As she got out of the bed and provided Luna with her bathrobe, Cheerilee gave a little wince. Luna had been fearsomely accurate with her crop and then her cane. “Thank you, Mistress.” She said with a bowed head.

“Breakfaaaaaaast!” Celestia called out from the kitchen, just as Luna was dressed and her hair brushed into a state that did not resemble the evergreen ‘do’ known as the ‘Hedge-Backwards’ look. While not perfect, she was at least presentable. “Pancakes, scrambled eggs and toast, and some more coffee!” The hollering of the last word, the sheer wonderment that was coffee, brought Luna from her bedroom like a siren singing a sweet song. “With sugars,” she finished, winking at Cheerilee.

Taking her seat at the kitchen table, Luna was overjoyed to see and hear the groan in her grielfriend’s voice. Celestia had outdone herself with the repast though. The pancakes especially almost made her forget about punishing her pet. Almost. “Leelee is simply overjoyed to sit at the table and feast on your wonderful breakfast, Tia.” She pointed to the bare cushionless hard wood chair. “I'm sure she will be just as overjoyed to ride on those soft bus seats too.”

Even though the hard chair was murder on her tender ass cheeks, Cheerilee was nonetheless grateful that Celestia had given her a plate and not her pet bowl. Grimacing, she shuffled on the chair to no avail. No matter how she adjusted herself, it hurt. It was brilliant and totally worth it. “Thank you for the breakfast, Ms. Celestia.”

Giggling as she set her own breakfast down on the kitchen table, Celestia joined the other two in taking a bite of her scrambled eggs. “Hmm, not quite out the doghouse yet I see. She's sitting very well considering the spanking she got yesterday. Did you use your feet on her this time?”

“No,” Luna shook her head, swallowing a forkful of pancakes, “I’m afraid her coffee didn't sweeten my disposition. The crop and my hand is what her naughtiness earned.”

That explained it then, didn’t it? “Aaaah,” Celestia said thoughtfully, “Then it’s no wonder she looks so glum.”

“Alas,” Luna swooned, complete with her hand on her forehead in a very good imitation of Rarity’s best overdramatic style, “I fear I may have been neglecting her lately. I'll endeavor to not do so while we are at camp.”

Celestia giggled, “I think someone's going to be on a short leash for the next few days.”

In a valiant attempt to change the subject, after having scarfed down half her plate of cheesy scrambled eggs, Cheerilee said, “You seem very happy this morning, Ms. Celestia.” She was careful to use the honorific while still very much in her submissive aspect. The last thing she needed was for her Mistress to ‘remind’ her to be polite.

“I am!” Celestia only just swallowed her mouthful of scrambled eggs before her grin split her face in half. She had good reason to be happy too, especially after the night she’d had. “Moonsilver met me in the dreamrealm last night. He showed me where we'll be staying the next few days. You remember Raven's Peak, Lu?”

Luna nodded her head. She did indeed know the spot that her sister was talking about. Over on the west side of the forest, Raven’s Peak had marvellous sunsets that had been the talk of romantic explorers for decades. “It’s a beautiful view.”

Celestia went on like her sister hadn’t spoken at all. “He made a tree tent...house-thing...grow from the ground at the very top!” she motioned with her hands, miming a rough house shape in mid air in front of her for their benefit.

“Okay, now that is impressive.” Luna commented, taking a quick drink of her coffee as Cheerilee quietly ate her breakfast. A look from her told her that she hadn’t forgotten her misdeeds. “Will that stone of yours show us this tree tent?”

“Maybe it will.” In truth, Celesria had been itching to try an experiment, but she had been nervous of if it didn’t work. No time like the present. “You all have magic in you like I do, and it's a dream stone...let's try it!” With slightly trembling hands, she removed the dream stone from her grey choker and she rested it reverently on the table. When she touched it, she thought of the dream. She pictured the structure in her mind and, seconds later, Raven's Peak appeared an inch or two above the magic stone, as did what was clearly a small house that had been crafted from the trunk of a tree.

Eggs dropped from Cheerilee’s open mouth, splatting on her plate, much to the annoyance of Luna, who added it to her list of things to be punished for. The fuchsia submissive stared at the image hovering before them, marvelling at the way the tree had been moulded into the form of a single storey house. “Holy shit...um..I mean...wow!”

“What she said.” Luna deadpanned, even though she was similarly impressed. “I was thinking the hologram stone, but this...wow.”

Celestia clapped her hands together excitedly, “I love magic!”

“He made that?” Cheerilee asked, still staring in abject awe, “With magic?”

“Tia,” Luna started thoughtfully as she took another drink of her coffee, mulling the hot drink over and around in her mouth as she thought, “Do you think that centaur magic had anything to do with those vines that grew out of the ground during the Friendship Games?”

That made her think. Celestia cocked her head to one side, slowly chewing her food. “I'm not sure, Lu. They might have. Sunset and the Twilights all think it’s because the barriers between dimensions were weakened...‘haywire magic stuff’.” She wiggled her fingers in the air for added effect.

Cheerilee shook her head in sheer bewilderment. “I can't believe we're sat here talking about magic like we'd talk about the weather!”

“Alas,” Luna turned her deadpan look to her dear sister. “Past events are indeed better explained as 'magic', still, if you have a moment when your brain hasn't been shoved out an ear, do you think you could ask Moonsilver about the events around our school?”

Celestia shot her younger sibling a very serious look, well, as serious a look as she could manage, given how excited she was to be leaving for the forest any moment now, “Are you suggesting all I'll be doing is having sex?”

“Not at all,” Luna’s expression was just as serious as Celestia’s was. “I'm sure you’ll eat and sleep, too.”

As Cheerilee burst out laughing - and fidgeted her poor abused behind on the hard wood chair in a vain attempt to get comfortable – Celestia reached into her shoulder bag that she had packed the night before to take on her trip and she took out the image stone. She placed the dream stone back in her collar and used the image stone to summon up a picture of Moonsilver. “You know, Lu, we are trying to work out why the magic in the whole area is going crazy, not just in the forest.”

“Is it restricted to here?” Luna asked curiously, loving the way her pet squirmed on the hard chair. “That is, are there more centaur villages out there besides this one?”

“There are centaur camps all over the world, anywhere where there are forests and woods.” Celestia answered quickly. Cheerilee’s discomfort didn’t go unnoticed and she had to admit to herself she was quite jealous. Jealous of the fact that she could be loved by her Mistress any time, and she had to wait to go to the forest. “They are all connected by pathways and portals, hence the Great Forest.”

“Ms. Celestia,” Cheerilee said once she had cleared her plate, “can you please say ‘sexy Moonsilver’?”

“I can.” Celestia was only too please to do so, because she had been moments from saying that exact thing. “Sexy Moonsilver.” As soon as she said that, the imagine on the stone of the pale grey centaur changed to that of the pale grey centaur but with a huge fourteen inch erection hanging between his hind legs.

Naturally, both Cheerilee and Luna were very interested in the new image. Appreciatively, Luna whistled and she shared a look with her girlfriend. At the same time, both of them said, “Use lube!”

Considerately, Celestia opted for eye roll number two and she directed it at her little sister. “Yes Lu. I did before. But!” she followed up quickly before she could be interrupted, “To answer your next question, none of the other centaur camps have reported haywire magic or their protection stones not working. You know what that means, I assume?”

Luna nodded as she emptied what was left of her coffee down her throat. “It is what the girls described. A portal between worlds. But why? What is this other pony world to the centaurs?”

“As I understand it, the centaurs are Equestrian in origin. They came from there to here, centuries ago, by their own request, to escape a war that a rogue centaur had started with the ponies. The peaceful group settled here, in ancient Greece.”

Before Celestia could continue, a loud alarm went off on Luna’s phone. “Leelee,” Luna said as she deftly silenced the noise, “Go get dressed. Short skirt, summer tee and trainers. Nothing else. Then grab your bags and head for the school. I'll meet you at camp. And yes, you can take your butt pillow. Gives us a kiss first.”

“Yay!” like a greyhound from a trap, Cheerilee jumped up and kissed Luna's lips and she hugged Celestia before she ran through to her Mistress’s bedroom, calling out, “See you later!”

“Too much hearsay.” Luna opined when her pet had left them alone in the kitchen. “Maybe you and Silver should visit this Equestria and find more answers, hmm?”

“I'd love to! Honestly, I've been thinking about it for a while now. But, I know it's hearsay, but the pieces add up. The centaurs are Equestrian, they have Equestrian magic.” Celestia used the fingers of her left hand to tick off the points she made. “The Element of Magic itself was bought through the portal. Magic leaked into this world. At the Battle of the Bands, the portal was left open permanently and, at the Games, Midnight Sparkle tore open more portals, allowing more magic into the world. See?”

“What, permanently?” Luna asked incredulously, though she paused in what she was about to say next to give a dressed Cheerilee a good bye kiss as she skipped out the front door. She was pleased she had chosen a skirt that only just covered her reddened ass. “Why hasn't there been reports of more and more people going through then, of for that matter, ponies coming here?”

“I honestly don't know, Lu.” Celestia shrugged as she started to wash the breakfast dishes, “Perhaps the portal is guarded on their end?” she offered over her shoulder. “But Sunset said the portal is definitely open all the time, not just once every thirty moons, like it was back at the Fall Formal.”

“Odd that the Equestrians would use a lunar calendar. Not that I’m complaining, mind you.”

“I think, and it's just my theory, that it's been pure luck that nobody's gone through it before now.”

Luna shrugged, “I have no plans or desire to see what is on the other side. Do you know where it is?”

Finishing up with the dishes, and having set them on the draining board to dry, Celestia dried her hands and turned to face her sister. “It's in the base of the horse statue outside CHS.”

Luna snorted, “I see more people hanging around that than I see students parking in the faculty lot. It must take some sort of attunement to open, or knowledge of its presence.”

“Either, or, but I think you're right.” Celestia glanced at the clock on the wall, a clock that was moving torturously slowly for her liking. It was like waiting for a meeting with the school board. She wanted to go, and go now! “Anyway. Are we ready?”

“Yes, or I will be once I put on something more substantial than my bathrobe.” Luna giggled, looking at her antsy sister practically bouncing on the balls of her feet, it was adorable and she was tempted to tease her, but she decided against it. It was obvious she was ready, dressed in her swimsuit, her wraparound skirt, sandals and her hair done up in a pony tail. “Does someone want to leave early?”

Celestia nodded eagerly. “I'll even ride in your beast of a car.”

“Well, that’s good as it’s better than walking!” Luna laughed, “Fine, we can go now. I'm sure I can do something while I wait for the coach to arrive.” She took herself off to her bedroom and quickly, she threw on a pair of cargo shorts and a loose shirt she left unbuttoned at her neckline. A pair of sturdy walking trainers completed her look.

“I’m sorry, Lu,” Celestia blushed a bright cherry red when her sister walked back into the kitchen, “I'm just...eager, I guess.”

Dismissively, Luna waved her off. “Grab your stuff and lets go.” She stood up and gave the kitchen table a last rub down before she grabbed her bag and, just to annoy her sister, she picked up the crutches that Celestia had tossed into the corner of the living room. “I’m sure I can pester Gloriosa for a bit, or I might go and clean your sundial for you.” When they got outside to her black muscle car, she shortened the crutches and placed them across the back seat. “If I bring them, no one will need them.” Luna said in response to her sister’s curious look. “I won't say your leg isn't healed, but you will be roughing it, so preventive medicine. You know what I will say if you need them again.”

“Alright doc, I won't argue.” Celestia knew better than to even try and argue with her sister. One might as well try to nail fog to the wall. She got in the passenger side of the car and she adjusted the skimpy swimsuit top so that it at least covered her nipples. Suddenly she wished she had worn something more…more. “Lu? Do I look alright?”

Luna looked at her nervous sister for a split second and gave her a considered opinion. “Rawr!”

Celestia just shook her head as her sister walked around the car and, once she was in the driver’s seat, she started up her massive engine and headed towards the camp. “I worry, Lu, about the centaurs.” Celestia said, running her fingers through her pony tail. “Only last week the newspapers had two more 'monster' sightings in the forest…”

“Sightings without evidence.” Luna replied as she negotiated what early morning traffic there was at that time of day. “About as believable as when you first told me about centaurs. You could share those locations with Silver to see if it is some stupid centaur for an outing, or if it is something that has crossed over.”

“I worry it's only a matter of time before an idiot hunter with a trigger finger wants to make a name for themselves,” Celestia shuddered, staring out of the window at the scenery of the city whizzing past the powerful black car. “Silver said that's how his mother died, on the end of a hunter’s gun.”

Luna patted her sister’s leg. “It’s the world we live in, sadly. Still, none of those sightings were in the middle of the Everfree, near camp, they were all within fifty kilometers of the city.”

Though she was grateful of her sister’s hand, Celestia sighed and smiled. “I know, I know, I worry too much. I just, love him, Lulu."

“Then use that brain of yours to keep him and you safe.” Luna smiled warmly as she pulled in front of a driver who attempted to cut her up. One rude gesture later and a bit of toe on her gas pedal had the imbecile left far behind them. “Remember, just as some idiot is out looking for a trophy, some other idiot may be trying to stop any human from getting too close.”

“You aren't wrong. I wish you were, sis, but you aren’t.”

~ ~ ~

“Have fun and stay safe.” Luna hugged Celestia tightly to her chest as if she wouldn’t ever see her again, not that she was just going into the forest for a few days. ‘It’s not like last time’, she told herself. ‘No, the last time she was kitted out like My First Explorer, with a backpack that held everything, now she’s going off just in a swimsuit and a shoulder bag…’ “If there’s an emergency, I'll text you.”

“Thank you, Lu.” Stood beside the car in the parking lot, with her bag on her shoulder, Celestia hugged her sister and found she didn’t want to let go. She had time for a long hug. At just eight thirty in the morning, they were over an hour early. “I'll check my phone three times a day, just to see if there's any messages!”

Luna gave her sister a harsh but well meant shove to get her on her way and waved her good bye just as Gloriosa Daisy, who almost looked like a mirror of Luna in her cargo shorts and tee shirt, appeared by the Vice Principal’s side. She had been alerted by the CCTV as to the arrival of a car in the lot, one she wasn’t expecting yet. “Where’s she off too?” she asked curiously, watching Celestia walk off with a purpose to the lake.

“Nature walk.” Luna had the lie ready and waiting to go. Not that it was really a lie. Her sister was going to be walking in nature, she was sure, for as long as it took her to get that fourteen inch monster between her legs. “Stress relief from dealing with all her duties as a principal.”

“Cool,” given no cause to doubt what Celestia was actually doing, Gloriosa shrugged and walked back to the main visitor’s centre in the camp with Luna by her side. “There’s nobody else here, so she should be able to blow off some steam in private without anyone bothering her.” Gloriosa had no idea why Luna was laughing at her.

When Celestia got to the extreme north edge of the lake, she checked all around her to make sure that not only was she alone but that she was out of sight of those that were already at the camp. She didn’t want to give Timber Spruce a heart attack. Satisfied nobody could see her, before she rounded the trees, the fifty year old stripped off everything she was wearing but for her choker and sandals. Then, after stuffing the wrap and swimsuit in her bag and taking a deep breath, she rounded the trees.

The wildlife wasn’t the only thing to see Celestia walk around the trees. From a vantage point on a ridge overlooking the line of trees and the campsite beyond, Shadewalker observed the human arrive, having noted the increased activity in the campsite as of late. Pouring all his ability into his stealth, and trusting the fact that he was essentially invisible, he followed her, intent on seeing what she was up to.

Completely unaware that she was being, for all intents and purposes, hunted, Celestia walked around the large line of trees and headed to the spot where she met with Moonsilver and Hearthstone over a week ago now. She was not surprised that her lover wasn’t there yet, after all she was early. “What a beautiful place this is...” she wondered out loud. With the sun above her shining down, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves, the forest certainly was beautiful.

From the just inside the treeline behind his woman, Moonsilver watched Celestia walk with a huge swell of love in his heart for the one that had so consumed him. While not as skilled as Shadewalker, he was nonetheless concealed from her. Not that he wanted to spy on her, but he did take a moment to admire Celestia’s figure. He got his chance when she turned in place. Her slender neck, the way her pony tail draped over her shoulders, the curve of her full bountiful breasts and the pink nipples, to her soft and rounded belly that hung over her wide waist and her deliciously thick thighs…he loved every single inch of her curvy body. When he had feasted upon her for long enough, Moonsilver broke his stealth and stepped forth from the trees. “I will allow the sandals.”

“Oh!” caught unprepared, Celestia jumped a little as she watched him appear from the trees then, she smiled, “Silver!” with her heart soaring higher and higher with every step, she ran over and hugged his muscular body to her own, kissing his neck and cheek all over. Moonsilver used his broad tongue for a full frontal face lick and then he followed that up with a more human kiss. “I've missed you!” Celestia squealed after they parted from the intense kiss. “I've got so much to tell you!”

With Celestia at last in his arms, Moonsilver allowed his hands to roam freely over her body. “If it is about the failing wards, I'll listen, if not, it can wait.”

“It is!” Celestia shivered happily, with her nipples hardening, she was in no way about to stop his wandering hands from wandering over her breasts, especially his thumbs that wandered over her hard nubs. She placed her hands on his broad chest, groping him herself. “It's about the Geodes, the Wards and Equestria.”

Reluctantly, very reluctantly, Moonsilver ceased his wandering exploration of Celestia’s body and he lowered himself to the ground, bringing his lover along with him as he held her to his chest. “Speak your knowledge, my love.”

“It is as we suspected, my love.” Celestia said once she had taken a deep breath to gather her thoughts. “The Air Stones are failing because the city of Canterville as a whole is saturated in Equestrian magic, and they cannot protect from themselves. Also, the Geodes. You have eight. Seven of them have bonded with seven human teenagers from my school. They are not in your cave any longer.” Overhead, perfectly hidden in the trees, Shadewalker also overheard what Celestia was saying. “The portal to Equestria is located outside my school, it is open permanently.”

Listening attentively to every word that Celestia said, Moonsilver had an open mouth and blinked as he took that in. He processed the information, rolling every word around in his head before he spoke up. “How do you know that others have magic?”

“I tested it,” Celestia replied, “on my sister and her girlfriend. They could both - with ease - use the image stone that Dawnglow gave me.” She reached into her shoulder bag and she produced the stone to show him, it was clearly his sister’s. “Added to that, I've seen my seven students use the magic on four occasions. Each time it is more and more powerful than the last.”

“It's not natural,” Moonsilver shook his head, “How are they being effected by that? Using a stone is one thing, but magic with out a stone is...”

“Dangerous,” Celestia finished Moonsilver’s sentence for him, “I know. They have combined the magic that came from Equestria with your Geode magic.”

“This...The council needs to know of this.”

Eagerly, Celestia nodded her head in her lover’s embrace, “I know my love. If...if it's any consolation, they are able to control the magic they have absorbed. They can use it at will just like you. They are good kids, Silver. They've saved this world, four times.”

It was consolation, but not very much, if the centaur was honest. “That is nice, but more worrying is why would the world need saving?”

“Sometimes it needs saving from itself, and, well, I'll be honest, some dark evil magic being or beings either banished from Equestria or who've fled from there. It's...complicated…” Realising just how complicated it all was, she reached into her shoulder bag and she produced the torn pages of the magic journal that Sunset Shimmer gave her a couple of days ago in her house.

Moonsilver looked down at the pages that his lover showed him but the words were little but squibbles, with an odd word here and there sticking out to him. “I speak well, but, will you read them to me, please?”

“Yes Master, of course,” it didn’t surprise her any longer how easily she slipped into her submissive state, nor how pleasing it felt. She read from the pages of the journal, essentially repeating what she had just told him. She pointed out the diagrams of the eight Geodes, their respective titles, the seven who had them, their elements and how they corresponded to each other. “And here,” Celestia pointed to a picture of rage monster Tirek, “Is why Scorpan bought you all here, with Starswirl the Bearded's help.”

Looking at the remarkably detailed picture of Tirek, the creature he knew as The Destroyer, Moonsilver was so shaken that he trembled in Celestia’s arms. Wisely, she didn’t point that out, instead she stroked his arm and kissed his cheek. “Master, the Princess says that Tirek is locked away in Tartarus. She says you have nothing to fear.”

“Yes, nothing to fear as our wards fail around us and our history with humanity comes back to haunt us.”

“I did say it was complicated, didn’t I?” she gave him her best eye roll as she kissed him again. “Change is coming, and with it, a new world, for everyone. You know this.” She kissed him on the lips, “And I'll face it with you.”

“Good, as I don't want to face it alone.” Moonsilver heroically took the onslaught of loving kisses and then he nuzzled her cheek. “I fear I may have to though as the tribe fears everything.”

“Princess Celestia is coming here to my house in a week's time. She'll have everything I've told you presented in such a way that your council won't be able to refute it.” Celestia nuzzled her lover in turn, smooshing her breasts into his chest – to calm him, of course. “We shall tell them our knowledge, speak the truth and hope they have wisdom. For now,” she kissed him, gently sliding her tongue into his mouth until she had to breathe. “I want to relax and enjoy three days with you, Master.”

With a smile, Moonsilver let go of Celestia and the pale grey centaur rolled onto his back. “Relax me then, my pet.”

“My pleasure, Master.” Celestia straddled his body, her hot bare crotch resting on his sheath. As soon as she was in position, her deft fingertips caressed his chest and nipples, and she started to kiss up and down his powerful body. Moonsilver used a forehoof to caress Celestia's wide ass as his hand played with her long hair. A soft moan escaped her lips as she kissed up and down his body. On the 'up' she ground her crotch to his sheath and sucked on his nipples, and she kissed down to his belly on the 'down'.

Moonsilver, getting more and more ‘relaxed’ by the second, found he was forgetting about all the issues with magic and Geodes, instead he was content to let Celestia have her way. He used both of his forehooves to knead her bountiful ass cheeks, an action that gave her an idea. ‘He likes playing with my ass, huh…’ with that in mind, she changed her position into a 69 and she started to nuzzle and lick at his moistened sheath. Now that he had the opportunity, Moonsilver brought his hands into play to play with Celestia's ass and especially the slit in between. ‘Mmmmm oooh I've really missed that...’ she thought, moaning out loud into her lover’s crotch.

Thanks to his very skilled hands and his wondrous fingers, Celestia was quickly getting very moist as she doubled her efforts to get her Master out of his sheath. She didn’t have to try very hard. Moonsilver wasn’t holding back, and in an instant, his cock had emerged from its sheath and a moment later it was at its full fourteen inch length.

As soon as she saw him out and erect, Celestia took as much of him as she could in her mouth, mostly to stifle the murmurs and moans she was making. Said moans only got louder when she felt three of Moonsilver’s fingers enter her pussy and his thumb press into her puckered asshole. She was sure this was what heaven felt like. As he thrust his hand into her and fingerbanged her, she moved forwards and sucked on his shaft.

Moonsilver smiled like the cat who had all the cream as Celestia’s ass filled his vision, reaching up just below it with his free hand, the one that wasn’t fingering her and placing his thumb inside her uppermost thigh, spreading them and admiring the ample labia poking out from the woman’s shaved valley. Taking in the view for a moment, Moonsilver dove right in, now letting his tongue caress Celestia's crease as he thrust his thumb in her asshole.

Getting into his groove, he playfully nipped at her luscious labia, kissing his lover’s pussy like it was her mouth. Celestia hummed delightfully at the way her Master made out with her pussy and, not to be outdone, she wrapped her left hand around the centaur’s thick cock and began to lovingly jerk him off as she bobbed her head up and down, his flat head touching the back of her mouth. One adventurous bob later and she took him past her mouth and into her throat, going down and down until she reached its base, her nose nuzzled between Moonsilver’s balls and giving them a little sniff.

“Mmm, smells full.” She commented when she pulled off to take a much needed breath.

Moonsilver didn’t respond, not wanting to part from Celestia’s pussy for even a moment to comment and Celestia smiled at the sensations between her legs. She adored the way her Master lavished her moist tunnel so thoroughly, she was sure she’d end up far more soaked in his saliva than in her own juices. Celestia continued her licking between the centaur’s balls, feeling the root of his hard cock beneath them, shifting over to take one of them into her mouth and lightly suckling it until she felt it twitch, signaling her to go further.

Satisfied that Moonsilver was enjoying her ministrations, Celestia leaned back up to looking over Moonsilver’s beautiful mottled cock, sticking out her tongue and gathering the fresh precum dripping a little more steadily from its tip. She wrapped her lips firmly around the flat head and stayed there for a time, her tongue undulating against it, sucking on the sensitive tip as his arousal spilled forth its familiar flavour for her. From experience, she knew that Moonsilver tended to produce a lot of precum and, like most parts of her lover, Celestia had grown quite fond of its flavour.

Her left hand continued to caress the centaur’s shaft, lingering downward and, using her right hand, she wrapped her fingers around his balls, kneading them and squeezing them for more. “By the Great Forest, pet, how do you expect me to last very long when you perform such magic?”

“I don’t, Master,” was her simple reply.

Moonsilver felt a shiver roll up his spine at Celestia’s direct tone, knowing that the eager lips on his cock were just waiting for his cumshot. As a distraction, he tried to refocus on the breathtaking pussy before him, delicious white lips surrounding even sweeter pink ones, blushing warmly with arousal. With all the skill of a hunter, his eyes locked onto the large hard clit peeking out of its hood and he leaned in, massaging the sensitive area and feeling the little nerve center become ever harder on his tongue.

Appreciating what he was doing, Celestia’s right hand gave Moonsilver’s balls another squeeze and lowered her mouth over the centaur's shaft, working the whole length of it into her hot wet mouth. Moonsilver felt her core tighten from the sensations between his hind legs, urging him to work more quickly.

Moonsilver let one of his hands leave Celestia’s fat ass to join his mouth, taking his tongue’s former position between his lover’s lips. The cool breeze in the forest had left his hand cold, causing his two fingers to tingle as they entered his lover’s hot moist furnace, earning a squeak from his beloved pet. Moonsilver had gotten delighted by just how hot Celestia felt inside, almost expecting steam to rise off of it, but this had become familiar territory to the dominant centaur. His thrusting fingers clung to that inner wall nearest to his tongue, caressing the slick surface for its contours, feeling Celestia twitch as he passed over that particular little bump.

Tongue fucking her hole, Moonsilver could practically feel Celestia smile around his cock and didn't hesitate to begin working the sweet G spot he had just found with his fingers, eagerly massaging it as his tongue made love to his pet's clit. Moonsilver could already feel his lover reacting quite strongly, Celestia's inner walls undulating around his fingers and a little more of the woman's nectar dripped onto his skillful tongue.

As Celestia deep throated her Master time and again, each bob of her head causing her nose to hit his balls, and Moonsilver enthusiastically ate her out, it was apparent to each of them that their lover grew close to their orgasm; Moonsilver’s cock being massaged by Celestia’s mouth, twitching every time its tip touched her throat; Celestia’s pussy now dripping as Moonsilver’s fingers thrust into it, her clit buzzing from the stimulation.

“MmmMMMMM!”

“AAaaaAAAAAAAH!”

Both lovers screamed in unison as they reached their climax at the same time, though Celestia’s squeal of pleasure was muffled, as her throat was impaled on her Master’s thick spurting member. She was determined to swallow every drop of his cum that was blasted into her belly. Moonsilver, for his part, was drinking down the ejaculate that Celestia had squirted over his face when she too had reached her orgasm.

“Hop on,” Moonsilver said almost half an hour later when they had both ridden out and recovered from their respective climaxes. “I'll get you up to Raven’s Peak.”

“Yes Master,” when Moonsilver rolled onto his front and stood up from the grassy floor, Celestia likewise stood up and, making sure she had her bag on her shoulder, she hopped up on Moonsilver's back. Leaning forwards, she held on to his body far tighter than was strictly necessary, not that the centaur minded as she pressed her belly and her hefty breasts into to his upper back.

On the other side of the ridge that overlooked the edge of the forest below, Dawnglow had been watching the scene with her Mistress, Applewood. “Mistress...that's so very hot...” Even though she had just spent the past hour of her life watching her older brother having sex, it was still hot.

As he effortlessly made his way through the forest, Moonsilver very much enjoyed the feel of Celestia’s naked flesh pressed against his body. It was a feeling he was sure he would never tire of. Every other step, he used his white tail to swat at his rider's ass as he climbed up and up, eventually he reached the tree house at Raven’s Peak. Likewise, Celestia enjoyed the heat of her mount's equine body between her legs, and she ground herself on his spine, panting with each swat of his tail. “This is what our magic can weave,” he said, proudly showing off the large one room abode made of tree branches. “Here, I will take you as a lover should.”

Even though she had seen the tree construction in her dream, now she was seeing it in the flesh, she was properly amazed and she ooh’d in awe at what magic could achieve. She had to touch it just to make sure it was really real. “This is even more amazing than when you showed it to me in the dream, Silver. It's beautiful! You made this?”

Moonsilver blushed as Celestia slid off of his back, and not because of the wet patch that she left behind. “My friend Applewood did most of the work. I only added a few things like this,” he pointed to a wide tie down bed that had been created from a number of smaller more flexible branches.

“Applewood...Applewood...oh!” Celestia put the name to a memory as she walked into and looked around the treehouse. “That's your sister's girlfriend, right? I remember she talked about her.”

“You talked to my sister's girlfriend?”

“No, I talked to your sister.”

“She hasn't told me, which is remarkable. I hope she was true to you.”

“She was, Silver. She was.” Standing by his side, Celestia kissed his lips and took a long look outside. “Oh my, what a view...I haven't been up here in years!” the beauty of the treehouse was frankly nothing compared to the view she was enjoying right then. Not just Camp Everfree down below, but there was the vista of Canterville City in the distance.

Moonsilver gently placed his hand on his lover’s shoulder, “You haven't been this free?”

“No, no I haven't, not in a very long time.”

Moonsilver’s hand lowered its way from her shoulder to her thick waist. “Here, you are free to be you, the one I love and desire.”

Celestia didn’t stop looking at the view. She couldn’t. It was hypnotically enchanting. “That's one of the reasons I love you, Silver.”

Deeply, Moonsilver kissed Celestia’s lips, the centaur admiring the view by his side as much as the view in front of him. “Your willingness to be yourself and my desires I what I love about you.”

“You've helped bring that side out of me.” Celestia held her younger lover, her hands wandering all over his strong muscular body. “A side I thought I had said good bye to years ago.”

Leading her back inside the house, Moonsilver gently but firmly pushed Celestia down to the floor. He said he would take her properly, and he meant it. “Your breasts are beautiful and I'm going to tit fuck you.” He stated his intention simply as he got into position above her, “I want you mouth, lips and tongue to run the long the underside of my cock as it takes you fully.”

On her back down on the floor, Celestia looked up at the pale grey centaur, an eager smile on her face. “I understand Master,” she had to really try to keep the giddy squee from her voice, for she was more than ready for what he had in mind. She didn’t need to look to know that he was ready too, she could feel his state of readiness on her belly.

“Hold them together, pet.” As soon as Celestia pressed her large fleshy breasts together, Moonsilver moved forwards and he forced his hard fourteen inch cock through the tight gap. “Oh, yes, you are beautiful…” he murmured, loving the sensations of his shaft resting between the pillowy mounds of his pet’s breasts and feeling their inner curves teasing his erection.

Holding her large fleshy breasts together as tight as she could, Celestia licked at his flat tip as it emerged from her cleavage. Thrusting forwards with abandon, the centaur pushed his cock long past her mouth as he put his all into fucking her boobs. As was requested of her, Celestia used her mouth, lips and tongue to slather her spit all over his length, loving the whole experience.

Every thrust he made, Moonsilver’s heavy balls dragged across Celestia's pubic area and her belly as he rutted the valley of her cleavage like it was her pussy, thrusting hard in and out between her tits. She moaned and groaned at that, adding delicate little licks and sucks to the underside to get him off.

Thanks in no small part to his lover’s very talented lips and her hot tongue dragging up and down his thick veiny length, Moonsilver did not last very long. Several deep thrusts later, thrusts that had his balls hitting the underside of her breasts, he knew he was about to blow his load. Just as his head flared, the centaur pulled back so that his tip was just past her tits and, grunting, he gave her a facial.

“MMmmmMMM!” Celestia moaned, the older woman just laying there and taking the cumshot, not that she had a great deal of choice in the matter. Rope after sticky rope of hot white cream burst forth as he ejaculated, the torrent not stopping until her face was covered in a thick gooey mask. Thankfully, she had closed her eyes just before he blew. “Th-Thank you Master…” Celestia licked her lips, tasting his jizz on her mouth as it dripped down her face.

The dominant centaur though was not finished. Once Moonsilver’s load was spent, he moved back and repositioned himself so he could enter Celestia’s dripping wet pussy before he went soft, determined to ride her. He pressed his lower equine chest against Celestia’s chest and face, smothering her with his musky scent. “AAaaaAAAH!” she screamed in sheer pleasure as he entered her, his thick member spreading her sex wide apart. ‘Oooh yeeeessss…’ she thought, her mind addled by the scent of sex in the air and her lover’s sweat filling her senses, ‘I want this...I need this...ooooh my god I fucking love this! Fuck me!’ she attempted to make herself as tight as she could, but he was so large that wasn’t necessary. “Fuck me, Master, please!”

Above her, Moonsilver was methodical and he continued to move back and forth inside his mate until he was hard as iron once again. When he judged he was ready, he thrust inside her, making sure to go in past his medial ring. Celestia then screamed long and loud as she was entered good and proper, particularly when his ring entered her pussy. “FuuuuUUUCK yeeees!”

Moonsilver fucked her. He wasn’t slow, or gentle. He pressed his chest into her face, so he became all that she saw. He took her rough and hard, every thrust of his cock inside her allowed his ring to stretch her pussy and drag along the walls of her tunnel. He rutted her until his head tapped her cervix and flared inside, painting her tunnel with his cum like he had done her face. “You are mine, body and soul.”

Celestia felt the torrent of cum spurt inside her and splash against her cervical wall and that sent her over her edge and she came as well, panting hard in a puddle of sweat and semen. “I am yours! I belong to you Master!” she screamed, just as Moonsilver withdrew his softening length from her gaping sex so he could kiss her properly.

Firmly, the centaur forced his tongue into Celestia’s mouth, claiming it as he had claimed her. Holding the kiss, Moonsilver’s left hand moved down to grope his pet’s breasts. “OOooooh...r-right there...” she moaned when his fingers and thumb found her nipple. Shortly after, he followed his hand and began sucking like a newborn foal. His hand found a new home between Celestia's legs, and as he inserted three fingers in her to the second knuckle, he suckled one breast before moving to the second. “AaaaAAHN M-Maaaaster!” she screamed, bucking her hips upwards to meet his hand, squeezing her legs and her thick thighs around his arm.

Moonsilver was not deterred by Celestia's leg clamp, the centaur determined to bring her to another climax. “You are a goddess among the humans,” he purred into her ear once she had coated his forearm in her juices and lay panting in his embrace. “You are truly Aphrodite reincarnate.”

“Y-You s-sweet talker…” Celestia panted, breathing heavily following her exertions, she hugged and held him tight, just happy to bask and enjoy the moment. “I love you, Silver, so very much.”

“As I love you, my dear Goddess.” He kissed her lips, and continued to kiss her all the way down her slender neck. “I've given you the stones of Language, Dreams and Healing. I will now give you the stone of Water, for it is from the sea foam that Aphrodite was born.”

“Oh my...thank you!” Celestia was lost for words when he placed the blue stone in her hands. “What does this one do?”

“Tia, Tia quite contrary, how does your garden bloom? With this stone and your magic within, all your pretty plants in a row.”

“Really? I can grow something like this house?”

Moonsilver chuckled. Her eagerness, quick wit and keen intelligence was like an aphrodisiac to him. “Yes, with the right tree and a lot of practice. I had help growing this house.”

Mostly from the after effects of the recent rutting, Celestia giggled, “I doubt I'll trouble your architects, my love.”

“I wouldn't be too sure of that. There is more to you than meets the eye,” Moonsilver kissed his pet’s lips, “And my eyes are well pleased by what they see.”

Celestia simply smiled, content to lay where she was and hold her lover close, like she was afraid if she loosened her grp he’d vanish into the ether. “I'm just happy to enjoy this moment with you.”

Obligingly, Moonsilver rolled onto his side and pulled Celestia in close. “These are the moments that make life worth living. They should be enjoyed.”

“Yes they are…” she yawned suddenly and, not surprisingly, she found herself dozing off after all that they had just done. “Oh...I am sorry...” Moonsilver didn’t say anything. He just held her, stroking her long greying hair until, moments later, she fell soundly asleep in his strong arms.
