Oh, well.

She’d screwed around for too long. Celestia deserved to get some, uh… release.

Wrapping her fingers around the needy alicorn’s hips, she dove in, for lack of a better word. Instantly, Celestia’s hindlegs twitched wildly as she screamed in relief.

“OH, BUCK YES!” No longer held down by Celestia, Lieia was able to slip her fingers inside Celestia’s marehood, making the alicorn whimper as she tried to move about. Her tongue was soon numb again from the intense tang of cinnamon, but that’d become irrelevant by this point. Every thrust of her fingers, every flick of her tongue made Celestia writhe with pleasure.

That’s right, Celestia, let it all out.

“Ah! O-oooh! Nnnnh! Ah! Lieia! I-I’m so close!” Celestia cried out, feeling a pressure increasing within her body. Once she was a hair’s width away from reaching her climax, Lieia slowed down, depriving the alicorn of much-needed release.

“Llieiaa-ah… Wha-what’s w-wrong?” The woman in question chuckled softly, examining the large puddle of Celestia’s juices soaking the mattress.

“Nothing. I’m just having a go at taming you.”

“W-what do you m-mean?”

“Just a bit of fun.”

“Please. Don’t toy with me so, love…” Celestia whimpered, but all she got from Lieia was a sultry grin.

“Quiet down.” The notion of being so cruelly tempted threatened to bring tears to Celestia’s eyes and the alicorn failed to stifle a sob. Immediately, Lieia crawled forward, kissing Celestia.

“Hey, now. Don’t get upset. I’m just messing about.”

“L-Lieia, you know I would do anything for you. Why cannot you treat my feelings seriously?”

Shit, this was getting downright depressing now.

“Celestia, you know I’ll finish what I started. And I didn’t mean to upset ya.” With that, she crawled backwards and resumed her ministrations. Immediately, Celestia calmed down some, letting out a satisfied moan.  Once more finding her rhythm, Lieia got busy with tending to Celestia. Pretty soon, the alicorn’s lustful moans were the only thing she heard. She found a strange sort of pleasure in seeing the muscles in the alicorn’s abdomen tense and twitch, her long, white legs fidgeting like crazy.

“Oh! Aah! Nnnnh!” Celestia’s cries rose in volume and pitch as she once more neared her climax. Her wings started to beat wildly, sending several loose feathers whirling around the tent. “I’m! So! Close!” She all but screamed, feeling the pressure build up again. It was like a fire within her, waiting to be released. And only Lieia could set it free.

Don’t worry, Celestia. Let me take care of you.

The alicorn’s love juices were a spicy, yet sweet nectar to her lust-addled senses and she drank all of it up. How the hell she managed to secrete that much liquids was somewhat of a mystery, though.

“Agh!” Celestia let out something between a scream, a grunt and a moan. Her cum splattered across her lover’s face. And again. And again, as Celestia rode out the paroxysms of her orgasm. Quickly, she started lapping it up, coaxing out every last shred of the alicorn’s climax.

"Ah! Oh! Aah! Yes! Yeeeessss...!" Celestia let out a low, prolonged moan, her wings going completely rigid. Lieia continued tending to her flower the whole time...

Celestia tried to stop her teeth from chattering as Lieia kicked the burning remains of their tent downhill, scattering snow and sparks everywhere.

“F-fuh-fuck!” The shivering alicorn stammered, wrapping her wings tighter around her. Lieia tiptoed over to her backpack – she’d had the foresight to toss it out when Celestia’d set the tent on fire – and stared surprisedly at the foul-mouthed alicorn. A couple of rogue sparks leapt from her horn.

“Well, fuck me sideways, Cel. Y’actually cursed.”

“S-so w-w-what? I’m f-f-f-freezing my a-ass off!”

“Gods have come to reap the sinners, Cel. Stop cursing.”

“F-fuck no! I-it’s my f-fault the tent’s trashed!” Lieia tsk’ed, pulling out a spare tent from her belongings and set it down, pulling the cord to expand it.

“I’m so going to Hell when I die.”

“H-huh?”

“I’ve been a corrupting influence on you all this time, Cel. ‘s only a matter of time before you start smoking and drinking, too. Shit. Shoulda kept my mouth shut.” She stepped back, collecting the clothes scattered across the snow, waiting as the new tent finished transforming. Soon as it was done, Celestia rushed inside, shivering uncontrollably, Lieia hot on her heels, dragging their belongings inside.

“Okay. We should tone it down next time, right, Cel? I don’t have any more tents with me.”

“But I’ve yet to return the favour, Lieia.”

“Oh, uh… it’s already a bit too late for that.”

“Oh?”

“I, uh…” Lieia pointed to her stained underpants and the gears turned over in the alicorn’s head as she smelled pistachio.

“Ah. I see. Well…” She was cut off as Lieia pulled her close, kissing her gently and she didn’t resist as she moaned into the kiss. After a couple of moments, Lieia pulled back, smiling.

“Did I ever tell you how beautiful you are, Cel?”

“Many times. And I will never grow tired of hearing you say that.”

“Really?” Lieia’s trademark grin made a short appearance.

“Yes. Because I love you. I will always love you, Lieia. No matter what happens, you will always be in my heart.”

“I’d say the same, but I don’t have a heart.” Celestia chuckled softly at that, kissing Lieia. “Well, a physical heart. I still love ya. I just try not to get overly sappy.”

“Aww, what’s wrong with that, my dear? You, for example, are like the sun to my heart.” Celestia frowned confusedly before continuing. “If there were organ-stars. Metaphorical organs, I mean. Having a star inside me would be too hot to survive.” Lieia looked at her surprisedly. Celestia sighed.

“…you warm my heart is what I’m getting at.” Lieia giggled, placing a kiss on the alicorn’s forehead.

“That’s why I love you, Celly.”

“Why?”

“Because you were so timid, shy and awkward back on Equestria. Now, you’re confident and decisive. I miss the old you.”

“The old me’s still here, Lieia. I just have to put up a strong front. Nowadays, my ponies look even more often to me and Luna for guidance, seeing as I am an ally of yours. They are nervous. Many do not understand why I have joined the Rebels.”

“Well, you will have my help regarding any trouble. I’ll send ships to Equestria and have the orbital defences bolstered.”

“Lieia, it’s not that.”

“The what’s the problem?”

“The nobles think that I joined the Rebellion merely because I love you. They think that I am letting my feelings for you influence my decisions.” The woman’s features seemed to harden for a moment.

“Is that true, then?” Her voice had a razor-sharp edge to it and Celestia understood she had to tread carefully. Lean too strong to one side and she would be lying to herself and her ponies. Lean other way, however and she would lose Lieia forever. She would be alone. Again. As she had been for many millennia.

“I may not be the Element of Honesty, Lieia, but I know you are no liar. Ayra Alexi is a traitor. The Loyalists have grown meek and complacent behind their fortress worlds. The fact that the Vasari defectors choose solely to join the Rebels, not the Loyalists speaks for itself. Your cause is just. And I know you will lead us to victory. You are the only one I love, true. But I would not have joined you if I had any doubts.” Her voice fell silent as Lieia’s scrutinising gaze bored deep into her, making her feel very, very small and very, very insignificant. There was no secret that remained hidden from the Rebel Queen. Celestia could feel fear taking hold in her heart, but Lieia smiled after a couple of moments, her dark blue eyes full of warmth and love.

“I believe you, Cel.” Their lips met one more and Celestia was glad for that. Lieia believed her and that was enough for her. The woman in question yawned widely, curling up against Celestia, letting out a soft chuckle as the alicorn’s brilliant white wings wrapped around them.

“Lieia?”

“Hmm?”

“I don’t usually say this, but… good night.”

“Good night to you too, Celly.” Lieia whispered, slowly drifting off to sleep. After a couple of moments, however…

“Lieia?”

“Yes?”

“I do believe you have tamed me. But only because I let you to.”

“We’ll have to see about that later.”

Two days later

The dry, popping noises made Lieia sigh with relief as she worked out the kinks in her spine. Celestia had put a simple charm on herself to ward off the biting cold and was rolling around in the snow, giggling. She claimed she needed a bath and the molten snow was a suitable substitute for her. The alicorn’s joyful laughing reached her ears and she smiled. After a couple of minutes, she’d prepared some late breakfast, just as Celestia came back inside, wings slightly damp from snow water. Her face was a flush red from the exertion as she shook her mane clear.

“That’s better. I feel much cleaner now. What’s for breakfast, my dear?”

“Nothing much, really. Some sandwiches. Coffee an’ tea. Methinks we should head back today, so we can go to Araek and Tikai later.” She passed the tea thermos to Celestia.

“I agree, Lieia. If I see another mountain eagle, it’ll be too soon.” Celestia muttered, sipping on her tea. The nerve-wracking encounter with the huge bird at Dockclaw Pass had left her unnerved. It had been dogging them for several hours as they had explored the mountains.

Heh. Exploring mountains.

Oh, goodness, she was really getting worse. Lieia was right.

Anyways… they were now slowly but decidedly making their way back to Hightask Cliff, where they’d started out three days earlier. Their backpacks now much lighter – in large degree because of Celestia’s pyromaniac tendencies – they skied across the vast, picturesque valleys and hills. Still, Celestia was hampered by the thin air. Lieia, however, had no problems in that regard, bolstered as she was by her canned supply of air that conveniently resided inside of her ribcage. Whenever Celestia became woozy, they would kiss as Lieia filled her lungs with air as she did so until she was clear-minded enough to proceed.

…Spent all of my life breaking all the rules

Stepping out of line, the streets are my school

Can’t get enough, all the good time

Down and live it up, while stand alive…

Once again, Celestia was treated to the majestic sight of Tirian mountain range as the Thundercharge slowly made its way downhill.

“So, that’s that. Next, it’s going to be a visit to the Araek Desert, where dunes and sand reign supreme.” Celestia fidgeted around in her seat, overcome with a strange sort of excitement. Whatever awaited her, it could not happen too soon. Next Chapter: Chapter 35 Estimated time remaining: 8 Minutes
