Jay’s mind snapped awake instantly as it always did. His eyes opened soon after that, glancing around the room. It was daylight now, so Celestia had raised the sun while Luna set the moon already. Sitting up and swinging his legs over the side of the soft bed, he stood. He felt a small urge to stretch solely from his old habit but ignored it, knowing it wouldn’t do anything for him. Looking around the room, he saw both mares’ regalia sitting on two Alicorn-sized poniquins, so he knew they hadn’t left to go about their day.

The door to Celestia’s bathroom swung open and Celestia poked her head out, smiling at him. Jay’s eyes widened slightly, seeing her normally pastel mane was a soft pink. It was clearly wet and clung to her neck, dripping small drops of water on the floor. The fur on her head was matted as well, showing him she had likely been bathing. Before he could say anything, she spoke. “Come join us, Jay.”

Then she was gone, his hearing picking up the sound of her walking deeper into the bathroom before he heard her enter the bathtub. Smiling, he walked into the bathroom only to stop when he saw how large it was. The bathroom was themed after Celestia herself with lots of white and gold. There was a surprisingly simple marble sink with a glass mirror above it, possibly a medicine cabinet if ponies had those. There was a toilet, fortunately not gold, though that was lower than a human one would be. A quick glance showed a nozzle where a jet of water would clean whoever used the toilet, a rather useful addition for a species that two-thirds of can’t use toilet paper easily. The tub, though, was easily the largest and most elaborate piece to the room.

It was a large rectangle, three sides of which were the tiled walls of the room. The fourth and final side was open to the bathroom, though a sliding frosted glass partition could close it off completely and give the user some privacy. Evenly spaced nozzles on the roof above the tub could turn it from a bath to a shower with a switch. Several holes in the walls poured out water into the tub that was easily capable of holding half a dozen Alicorns. Speaking of Alicorns, both Celestia and Luna were looking at him with small smiles and Jay couldn’t help but stare at them both.

Celestia’s mane and tail were a soft pink, her mane draping down her neck and sticking to her body while her tail was floating in the water behind her. Her fur was competely matted, giving her body a sleek look to it while emphasizing the natural curve of her body from her neck to her flank. Next to her stood Luna. Like Celestia, her mane and tail were no longer partly ethereal, but a light blue instead, which was in a position just like Celestia’s. Her coat was matted as well, but the water also darkened it so she looked like she had black fur, which contrasted with her teal eyes rather nicely. Her curves were emphasized, too, and Jay couldn’t stop his eyes from roaming over them both, tracing the lines of their bodies. Both mares noticed immediately and shared a look, then turned back and Luna gestured for him to join them with a wing, the water-logged feathers dripping water as she pulled it out of the water. “Come on, Jay. Get it here with us.”

The virus nodded and quickly stripped of his clothing, folding it and placing it on the counter. He smirked when he felt the eyes of both Princesses roving across his naked body, but he didn’t mind. They were his herdmates, after all. Turning, their eyes drifted straight down and a grin spread across his face. He stepped into the water soon after, feeling the nice warmth of the water. Their eyes drifted up to his when the bubbling water concealed his lower half and he realized just how deep the water was. It came halfway up Luna’s flanks, while just below Celestia’s flanks. Halfway down from Jay’s chest was underwater, making it a tub he could stand in while still being mostly submerged.

He waded over to the mares and they quickly nuzzled him. After giving a quick kiss to both, he spoke. “Did you two sleep well?”

Celestia nodded. “I did. It was very comfortable, lying on you like normal. After the night we all had, we needed the rest.”

His eyes drifted to Luna and she nodded as well, though she didn’t speak. Looking at her in slight concern, he caught the glimpse of worry in her eyes still. Just then, he felt a mind touch his own and heard Celestia’s voice in his head. “What do you say about giving Luna a good time? Just to show her that we aren’t going anywhere.”

“I think that’s a wonderful idea.” Jay replied, an internal smile being transmitted to Celestia.

“Glad to hear that. I’ll take her horn, you take her marehood. She won’t tell you this but you should use one of your tendrils. She’s been fantasizing about them since she first saw them.” Celestia explained, a teasing tone in her mental voice.

The connection ended and they both turned to Luna. The smaller mare’s eyes widened when they both started to walk toward her, her eyes rapidly glancing between the two immortals stalking toward her. She took a step back skittishly, then stopped as she resolved to see where it would go. Her eyes widened further, then dropped shut when Celestia pulled her into a passionate kiss, tongues beginning to flicker already. Jay walked to the side of Luna, smiling to see her wings beginning to extend already, coming out to rest just above the water. Jay’s hands reached out and gently grasped her right wing at the base, sparking a muffled moan from the mare into Celestia’s mouth. His hands began to gently massage her wingbase, a shiver running down her spine from the sensations.

With his fingers pressing against the tense muscles in her wing, he slowly moved down her wing and closer to the tip. Not only was he releasing the tension in her wing, he knew by now that wings were pleasure points for ponies. His fingers danced over her nerves, gently tugging on feathers and tendons. Her voice sang for him from his actions, and her voice sang for Celestia as well, her tongue keeping the mare’s own mouth busy. Slowly, he worked out the tension in her wings with slow circles, switching to her left one when he finished the right. Her moans grew, raising in both pitch and volume. Her tail would sway in the water behind her, spreading both her fluids into the tub and her scent into the air. Both he and Celestia grew aroused from the smell and sounds. Finally, they both backed off from Luna.

Her eyes fluttered open, pouting to Celestia as she spoke. “H-hey, why’d you sto-OH!”

Luna’s voice was cut off when Jay slid two fingers into her already sopping wet marehood. The dual ministrations from him and Celestia had worked wonders in getting her wet and ready and the virus took advantage of it. Her body offered no resistance to him as his fingers slid cleanly in and out of her, coated in her juices already. Luna’s voice devolved into a shameless moan when Celestia assaulted her horn, her tongue running up and down it while tracing the grooves. Luna’s walls rhythmically clenched around his fingers, arousing him even more. His cock sought attention and a part of him wanted to take his fingers out and sink into her folds, but he forced it down. This was for Luna, not him.

His fingers rhytmically pistoned into her with her hand pressed flush against her mound, his other hand massaging her flanks. He could feel Luna nearing the edge as water was displaced each time her marehood winked at him, her vulva quickly spread apart as her clit poked out. Her tensing grew more powerful, her moans louder, and her stretched wings began to flap out of sync as she reached her peak. Right before she came, his fingers slid out of her and Celestia let go of her horn, making Luna sag. “W-wha?”

With a lecherous grin to Celestia, his fingers fused and his arm formed into a long tendril, rounded protrusions placed evenly along it’s two foot length. Without a single word, he manipulated the end of the tendril until it was pressed firmly against her puffy slit, making her gasp. “J-Jay…”

With barely a hint of resistance, his tendril sunk into her wet walls six inches before her body clenched down on the tendril, her orgasm halting him instantly. Celestia quickly enveloped Luna’s horn in her muzzle as marecum squirted out around his tendril, quickly mixing with the bathwater. Her walls clenched around his tendril, trying to milk it for all it was worth. Her body’s best efforts failed as the tendril had nothing to give and felt no pleasure. After several moments, her body began to relax enough to move. The tendril moved in and out of her slowly, the knobs pressing firmly into her walls as it sank a bit further with each new push. Her head slowly turned, Celestia still sucking her horn, as she looked at him. “J-Jay, what is that?”

Her eyes caught sight of the foot or so of tendril that wasn’t in her and her eyes widened. To his surprise, her internal muscles locked in place again as she instantly came, more fluids gushing into the water. Though her body had tightened up, it wasn’t enough to stop him again. His tendril slowly sunk deeper into her body as her body started to rock, pulling off of the tendril when he pulled it out, and shoving herself on it when he pushed forward. Before long, the perfectly straight tendril was knocking against her cervix, making her gasp and moan each time it tapped against her deepest barrier. His eyes caught sight of Celestia letting go of Luna’s horn and walking around her body, dipping her muzzle just barely under the water near Luna’s flank. Luna soon threw her head back as a thunderous moan sounded out, Jay soon realizing that Celestia was playing with her clit. His grin widened as his tendril grew more aggressive, rapidly pulling out and pushing in.

Her rocking grew faster as wet sounds filled the room, sloshing caused by the water as more and more of Luna’s fluids dripped out of her. From his point of view, he could see that Celestia was literally drooling from her rump, a continuous trail of fluids folowing down her hind legs and into the water with each wink. To his surprise, Celestia positioned herself in front of him and slammed herself back, hilting him in her in one go as her head came up, both of them moaning. Celestia instantly began rocking and he could feel her orgasm fast approaching, just as his and Luna’s were. Pleasuring Luna like this as well as watching her make out with Celestia had turned him on enough that his endurance had been shot. Luna, feeling a familar pressure building up within her, moaned. “Jay, ah~ fill us up!”

Celestia rapidly nodded in agreement, her soaked flanks impacting his hips solidly with each rearward thrust even as he pumped into her. Luna and Celestia came together, their walls clenching hard and locking him in place in both of them. The sensation of milking and pulsing on his cock quickly sent him over the edge even as waves of marecum forced itself out of the two Alicorns. His tendril shifted, gaining a tube inside it, as he erupted. Hot, white cum quickly painted their pussies a stark white. They both moaned loudly, feeling hit hot seed fill their wombs as Jay groaned too, enjoying the sensation of emptying himself into two mares he loved. Moments later, the pulses of cum stopped and he slowly pulled out of them both, the mares moaning from the dragging against their sensitive nethers.

With a soft pop, he tendril and shaft exited their tunnels, soon followed by a trickle of white cum that stained the water. Luna sagged against Celestia, a bright blush on her muzzle as she looked at him. “T-that’s one of your tendrils.”

Jay grinned, nodding to her. Luna suddenly turned to Celestia. “You told him?”

Celestia nodded as well, smirking to her. “We wanted to give you a good time, reminding you that we aren’t going anywhere. What better way that allowing you to indulge in one of your fantasies?”

Luna sighed and gently kissed Celestia. Jay waded over and embrached the two mares who happily hugged him back. After a moment, Jay spoke teasingly. “You both know that this bath is incredibly dirty now, right? Its got cum from you both and me in it.”

They flashed him a smile before Celestia spoke with a sultry giggle, Luna smiling seductively and nodding in agreement. “Trust me, we don’t mind bathing in your and our cum.”

Jay sighed, though there was still a smile on his face. “Naughty mares.”

They leaned closer to him, seductive smiles on their faces as Luna spoke. “But we’re your naughty mares, and we’ll do anything you desire.”

Jay exited the bathroom fully clothed, a dry Celestia and Luna following behind him, satisfied smiles on their muzzles. After a quick but intense oral section following their comment, they had been forced to drain the tub and try bathing again. The water had been just too dirty for them to get clean in it.

Inside the bedroom, Celestia and Luna moved to the bed and climbed onto it. Celestia, ever regal, folded her legs under her and folded her wings against her side, facing him. Unlike her sister, Luna practically flopped onto the bed, lying on her side with her limbs askew in every direction. Her head tilted up to look at him, a small smile on her muzzle but a worried look in her eyes. It was Celestia that spoke. “Jay, I think we need to talk about everything that’s been happening.”

Jay nodded in agreement and walked over, sitting on the edge of the bed. To his surprise, Celestia picked him up in her magic and moved him closer through the air, setting him down between both of them. Luna’s head moved over and rested on his lap, looking up at him with her shining teal eyes, her mane flowing around his legs now that it was dry. “Jay, do you know anything about why those beasts attacked Ponyville?”

Jay nodded a little, mind running. “Yeah, I think I might. I believe I’ve mentioned Disarray before, correct?”

Celestia nodded. “You mentioned the name when you first told us about what you are.”

“And you told me that he brought you to this world when I was in your dreams.” Luna added.

“Really?” Celestia asked, interested. This was the first time she had heard of that.

Jay nodded. “I’m sorry for not telling you this before, but I wasn’t quite sure what to do about it. This is definitely important now, though. Disarray was the one who brought me to this world, saying something along the lines of ‘I’ll do nicely.’ I awoke in the old castle and, well, you both know what happened there.”

Celestia say the regretful glance he gave her and knew exactly why he did it. The Solar mare leaned to him and gently nuzzled his neck, an action repeated from below by Luna to his stomach. Jay didn’t say anything at first so Celestia whispered into his ear. “You know I’ve forgiven you a long time ago, when you healed the injury and apologized to me personally.”

“I know, but, still...I hurt you.” Jay said just as softly.

“And the fact that it bothers you shows that you care for me and that you wouldn’t do it again.” Celestia replied, making Jay nod slowly. “Continue your story, love.”

That got him to smile to her, which in turn made the sisters smile as he continued telling the story. “Anyway, when I was imprisoned in stone, I heard a voice speak to me. It wasn’t out loud, or even in my head. I remember it sounding like the stone was vibrating, speaking to me. It called itself ‘Order’ and claimed to remove my Hive Mind. I will admit that it’s been gone for some time, obviously. I asked it what it was but it’s only reply was ‘Find Creation and your purpose will be clear. Now, leave and fulfill Fate.’”

The two Alicorns shared a glance with each other, then Celestia spoke to him. “You remember that?”

“Near-perfect memory, remember?” Jay said with a smile. “Anyway, ‘Order’ let me go and I broke out of the stone. Disarray was waiting for me. He told me that he and some others thought I was a good candidate for some tasks they needed done, though he didn’t tell me what they are. He gave me some memories about the different races and high-profile beings like yourselves, then left. After that, I made my disguise and made my way to Ponyville.”

Jay paused for a moment, then continued. “I think the next time I saw him, or his influence, was when we had to go into the Everfree and rescue Spike. There was a large pack of Timberwolves and an Alpha. The Alpha had Disarray’s eyes, like it was being affected, and the Alpha actually made my plan to distract them all work. Later, I noticed the wolf’s eyes were different, so I assume that it was just Disarray’s magic. Anyway, the wolf bit me and I feared some type of curse but the teeth failed to pierce me and I didn’t sense any magic in it, though my sense wasn’t good then.”

Jay sighed, looking out the window across the room. In the distance, he could see an utterly massive cluster of clouds. Cloudsdale. “Disarray visited me in my dreams one night and mentioned a ‘Wolf’s Curse.’ I assume that’s what the Alpha did when it bit me. He told me a book to read to find out what it was, but the book was checked out when I got to the library. He left my dreams and moments later you arrived, Luna, saying that something had been blocking you.”

Luna nodded, remembering the conversation they had that night. Jay turned his attention back to the two mares. “That’s what I know of Wolf’s Curse and Disarray. Anything to add?”

Celestia nodded. “We know what the Wolf’s Curse is. It’s pretty much a revenge from Timberwolf Alphas. They can transmit a thaumic pulse through the Forest by biting somepony. That pulse will awaken several ancient beasts and fill them with a hunger for the target.”

“So they were there because of me?” Jay asked. Celestia nodded sadly in reply before she spoke.

“My time I spent with you in Ponyville likely didn’t help, either. They probably picked up my scent and that made them more eager. Alicorn is, apparently, very tasty to predators.” Then she shuddered. “That spider proved it.”

Luna quickly rolled over his lap and came to rest near Celestia, her forehooves snaking out and around her barrel as she held her elder sister. Jay did the same, an arm wrapping around her long neck and holding her close to him. Even though Celestia was clearly affected by the event, Jay was impressed by how strong she was to even be able to mention it. After a moment, Celestia continued. “Anyway, I received a report this morning and I’m happy to tell you that nopony was seriously injured in the battle. Bruises and broken bones abound, but nothing that would stay for longer than a week.”

“Good news.” Jay said softly, happy to know that he didn’t cause anypony to lose life or limb. Both mares nodded in agreement. “What about the body of the giant worm?”

“It’s still there, I believe. Several of the Universities researchers want to study it. That’s the first time we’ve seen something like it.” Celestia explained. “I’m sure they’ll send a vial of its blood and some scales if you want its DNA.”

Jay nodded. “Every extra power I have is one more I can defend my friends and family with.”

“Speaking of new powers...” Luna said, looking toward Jay.

The virus caught her meaning pretty easily and smiled. “Well, I have a new form. While not special in and of itself, since I could have made it anyway, the powers I got with it are pretty good. I think the most prevalent ability is some form of energy I got from you and Luna.”

“You have magic?” Celestia exclaimed as she perked up, excited for some reason.

Jay hesitated, then answered. “I’m not sure. I know the energy is there because it coated my blades and helped me cut the Aracuvo and Scorpius, but I can’t find it or use it.”

Celestia hummed in thought, her ears still perked. “I could help you find it at a later date. If it is magic, my sister and I will have a lot of fun teaching you spells.”

“I’d enjoy that, too.” Jay said with a smile. “Anyway, all I know about it is that it was blue and I couldn’t control it consciously. Another new ability was the ability to see magic with a special set of eyes, though I’m not sure who gave me that.”

“That could be very useful.” Luna commented. “You might even be able to see through invisibility and other spying spells, possibly even scrying.”

“I can also see when a magical species is preparing a spell.” Jay added. “It gave me time to prepare against a Scorpius launching venom at me because I could see the magic in the poison.”

The two nodded and Celestia asked. “What else?”

“From Chrysalis, I gained a special form of chitin. I think it’s my normal compressed biomass but imbued with the energy. It covers me entirely in my new form, which is really useful. From the Aracuvo, I gained barbs that I can launch from my body, as well as the ability to manipulate its special venom, which may be useful against god-like beings.” Jay said with an apologetic look to Celestia, which she answered with an understanding smile. “From the Scorpius, I gained a large scorpion stinger that’s rather flexibile and very sharp, able to pierce armor easily and inject poison. I didn’t get a chance to get any DNA from the Ursirium, if they have any besides normal wood. I destroyed all their cores and blew them apart. I haven’t gotten any genes from the worm, so I don’t know if it’ll give me anything.”

“I’m sure it will.” Luna said. “After all, you’ve gotten some mutation from everything else. The worm will most likely give you something as well, even if it may not be particularly useful. Once you get its DNA, you can also tell us what you can figure out about it.”

“Oh, that’s right.” Celestia said suddenly. “You know everything biological about the DNA samples you have, don’t you?”

Jay nodded with a small smile. “Yeah, but only biological. Magical, mental, and spiritual are an entirely different matter. Though, I’ve just thought of something.”

“Oh?” Luna asked.

“Is there anything new about the caster?” Jay asked.

Celestia sighed, her ears folding down a little. “Not at all. No major event has happened recently at all. Hostile or otherwise. Nopony has found any trace of the caster, and the Pyromancers we questioned all agreed to tell their stories to Seeds of Truth. None of them were lying. The runestone, has it done anything?”

Reaching into himself, he pulled it out and examined it. The now-familiar purple rune was still there, the stone was the same shape. “No, nothing has changed and it didn’t do anything yet.”

As he said that, his vision flashed and the room changed. The decor was the same, but the colors were inverted and the Princesses were gone. Beside him, he could feel the Alicorns touching him but he couldn’t see them. Looking up, he saw the strangest creature sitting on the edge of the bed. His various limbs were mismatched, each one from a different species. Jay recognized him, it was Discord. He was transparent, the wall behind him able to be seen. He smiled but didn’t say anything as his hand reached out toward the runestone. His paw alighted in a blue aura, the same shade as Jay’s own energy. He lightly tapped the runestone, which glowed with a purple aura, before he pulled his arm back.

Jay’s vision flashed again and the room was back to normal. Celestia and Luna were at his sides, staring at him in concern. Celestia, seeing his eyes unglaze, leaned in and nuzzled him gently, a nervous whine escaping her. “Jay?”

His hand came up naturally and gently ran through her mane, calming them both immensely. He spoke softly, hesitantly. “I think Discord just gave me a vision. He touched the rune with some type of magic the same color as my energy and it started glowing purple. The vision ended after that.”

Looking down at the runestone, he saw that it was still normal. There was no purple glow and it didn’t seem to have changed. Maybe it was a hint of something he should do. “Is there anyway we could fast forward finding my energy?”

Celestia nodded. “We can do it now, if you’re up to it.”

Jay nodded. “Let’s get it done. I want to try what he showed me.”

The virus turned to Luna. “Do you want to join us?”

Luna thought for a moment about joining them, then nodded. “Sure, it’ll be fun to see you try to learn magic if you actually have it now.”

Then she looked at Celestia. “Don’t worry, sister, I won’t take training your new student away from you.”

Celestia blushed lightly, then nuzzled Luna. Celestia’s horn lit up in her golden aura, then the three vanished.

Discord appeared far off in the Everfree Forest, near the Inner Circle. He sat down on a large rock and waited. A moment later, another being appeared. Discord’s red and yellow eyes met the other’s scarlett and golden eyes before they both smiled.

“Discord, did it work?” The being asked, smiling at his friend.

“It did, Disarray.” The mismatched being replied. “Jay’s currently working with the Princesses to figure out where his energy is.”

Disarray smiled, satisfied. “Did they tell him about the Masters?”

Discord gave off a long-suffering sigh. “No, not yet. He doesn’t yet have a clue about them.”

“Damn.” The being in a human form said, looking off into the distance. Discord was quiet for a moment, knowing that his older and more powerful friend was seeing something the Spirit of Chaos couldn’t see. After a moment, Disarray looked back to Discord. “Things will go according to plan anyway. Hopefully, Chrysalis will tell him about the Masters.”

Discord nodded, understanding his reasoning. “I’m actually happy for old Chryssi. It’s good that she’s found someone to love.”

“Even if its not you?” Disarray asked softly.

Discord nodded again, a small smile on his face while amusement flickered in his eyes. “Oh please, I never had a shot with Chrysalis. Besides, she was only interested in one and he betrayed her.”

“As Jay would say, he ‘fucked her over.’” Disarray said with a laugh. “Ah, the fun struggles we had back then. Its too bad that things are starting to go to shit, now.”

“I suppose that’s why Jay is here, isn’t it.” Discord said after a moment of silent consideration.

Disarray nodded. “Is there anything else you need?”

Discord shook his head. Disarray nodded and gave Discord a parting smile. He turned and started walking deeper into the forest. Before he exited the clearing, Discord spoke. “Actually, Disarray?”

“Yeah?” The being asked, turning around partly.

“Mother? How is she?”

He smiled. “She’s good.”

Discord nodded and they both vanished. One left the ancient home while another went deeper into it.

Soul Flare walked through the ancient halls, examining the runic inlays incribed into the old stone. Purple runes flickered into the air, made of pure magic, before fading away moments after. Rotten carpet squished beneath Soul’s hooves, doing nothing but amusing the Unicorn. In front of him at the end of the old hall, there was a single doorway. The door itself was mostly rotted away, set against the wall next to it. He walked into the room and stopped, his amused look fading into a disgusted glare.

The room itself was ruined, rotted and cracked and falling apart. In the center of the room, there was a single stone column, in perfect condition, coming up to his chest. Floating a few inches above it was a small blue aura, concentrated magic, that shifted and pulsed as if it was alive. Soul glared at it, his disgust shifting into hatred. His voice, deep and unnatural, growled. “Creation.”

The sphere of energy pulsed once, though no reply came from it. It wasn’t actually alive, after all. Not without a host. Inside his own mind, he heard a voice whisper out. “It’s not going to work.”

“Shut up.” Soul Flare said.

“You won’t break him.”

“Shut up!”

“He’ll only destroy you.”

“SHUT UP!” Soul roared out, his voice cracking the walls and floor further while leaving the column and sphere alone. He turned around and quickly walked down the halls, though the voice followed him anyway.

“Your plan to break him through her will not work. If you go through with it, it will only harden his resolve to kill us.”

“It’s got a good enough chance of working.”

“You already know it won’t work, though. You can feel it within yourself. You know Mother plans for him to succeed, no matter how hard you try to stop that. Do you want him as your ally, or your enemy?”

“I want him as my rival, Soul Flare.” The Unicorn said with a wide grin. “And that’s what’s going to happen.”

“No, Perses, you’re only going to get him to hate us. I will die and you will gain a permanent enemy.”

“It doesn’t matter, Soul. This is my body now. As such, this is my decision.” Perses replied.

“I can’t wait to see you scream in fear.” Soul replied, his voice finally tinting in anger.

“Whatever. I’ll make that mare mine, whether you want me to or not.” Perses replied.
