Several days had passed since Tyler returned from his unintentional trip to the Crystal Empire. In Twilight’s supervision, he consulted a unicorn doctor called Membrix in Canterlot, who took some tissue samples while Tyler explained his case of being able to be charged with magic. Despite being well known in Canterlot for his expertise in unicorn anatomy and magical behavior patterns, the doctor was simply puzzled,
“I don’t understand… You were exposed to an extremely high extent of magic that should have killed you!” Looking up to the sheets of papers, the unicorn doctor shook his head. “Yet here he sits, healthy as an earth pony!” Twilight nodded and conversed with the doctor of what had caused the overcharge and theorized with him about the crystallization process.

Finally the doctor nodded and took off his glasses,
“It appears you can storage vast amounts of magic. I can’t predict to what extent this storage can go, but I guess once you die from overcharge we will know. Or not if all magic is released upon the point of death. In that case, you’ll remain a mystery for ponykind forever. As for the crystallization process… You got into this after releasing all of the charge at once. It seems plausible that in midst this detonation, your body conserved itself magically to sustain life signs. But I can only theorize about this. Nopony has ever witnessed something as the Dragon Mountain incident. I shall council this with the princesses for further studies”

With this both Tyler and Twilight said their goodbyes and left the clinical practice,
“Refreshing, but nothing really new…” Tyler muttered. “All he told me was the advice never to unleash such a big amount of magic ever again. This only means I need to keep check of my magic intake… After this incident however, I became magically sentient…”

Twilight arched her brows,
“You did? Impressive! Most impressive! It seems the more you come in contact with magic, the more you understand from it.”

He nodded silently as they strolled down the street,
“It appears so. But this as well means I can order several spells from now on to be used on me so I can utilize them later. Levitation, animation, force fields, attack spells. I’d like to organize a small repertoire with you once we’re home again.”

She giggled happily as a voice shouted behind her,
“TWILIGHT SPARKLE!!!”

The unicorn halted in an instant as her eyes widened,
“Oh ponyfeathers…”

As she turned around, she giggled nervously as two further unicorns approached them,
“What in Celestia’s name has gotten into you, young lady? Disappearing for a week with nopony knowing where you are!” The blue unicorn stallion had a stern look on his face, as had the white unicorn mare with striped mane.

Twilight sighed and turned to Tyler,
“Tyler? May I introduce you to my parents? I forgot to send them a letter about the whereabouts of my disappearing as I went into the Crystal Empire…”

Tyler looked up from Twilight and knelt down to give both of them a handshake,
“Mister and Misses Sparkle… What an honor for me!” Delivering a hoofkiss to the unicorn mare, he bowed down a bit. “Mrs. Sparkle, I assure you Twilight had the best reasons for forgetting you. Her mind was clouded with worry and love, so please forgive her…”

Recollecting herself from these refined words, she looked to her husband, who now gave Tyler a strict look,
“Ah yes… You are this human… Is it true that you and our daughter…”

Tyler turned his face to the stallion and nodded,
“We are herd mates, yes.”

As her mother’s jaw fell agape Twilight cleared her throat a bit and stood beside Tyler,
“Yes we are. And Tyler treats me and Applejack better than every other stallion would treat me.”

This caused the white mare to gulp a bit. Looking up to Tyler’s towering stance she could only speculate of what things this human could do to Twilight’s petite body. Twilight’s father on the other hand showed no signs of intimidation. While looking into Tyler’s eyes, he continued to talk to Twilight,
“Does he treat you right? I mean… Do you have to…do things at his bidding?”

Twilight blushed deeply at this,
“DAD!!!”

Tyler on the other hand chuckled and shrugged,
“Actually the girls take the initiative most of the time… Since Twilight showed me that it is OK for her to sleep with me, we have had a lot of fun together. And since we can’t have foals right away due to genetic incompatibility, we have all the time to search for a solution should she ever wish to have a foal.” Looking her father into the eyes, Tyler continued. “Mr. and Mrs. Sparkle… I would be happy if you were to issue the blessing on this.”

Both unicorns looked at each other for advice, but finally Mrs. Sparkle nodded,
“Twilight’s happiness is all that matters for us. If she haves a partner who isn’t a pony, we will have to adjust to it, but will support her all the while.” With a moderate nudge she looked at her husband. “Right, honey?”

With this nudge, Mr. Sparkle nodded as well,
“Uh… sure…”

On their trip home, Twilight grinned at Tyler and he frowned a bit,
“What is it?” He wasn’t sure why she was grinning, yet he was sure she wasn’t planning something.

With a brief nod she closed her eyes and pointed her right hoof at him,
“B 35!”

Then it shot into his mind. Twilight had learned the royal advances as well to help him learn better and was now sampling him for his understanding,
“B35, you say? A gesture of enjoyment, he or she is willing to repeat this evening. A gesture best described as a short nuzzling of the left shoulder, not longer than three seconds. A minor gesture.”

Twilight nodded,
“Very good! Just like the book says.” The rest of the trip, she asked him more and more gestures, helped him out, when he was wrong on a minor gesture, but punched him in the arm when he got a major gesture wrong. “You have to redo those again. It’s important! Major gestures are very important! Mess up there and you insult her!”

Tyler nodded in silent approval. He was happy Twilight was so thorough with facts. Any other pony would let him slack off, but she always reminded him of his goal, what was enough to bring him back on track. Obviously she thought Luna deserved happiness as well.

As their train reached Ponyville station, they went along the road until they parted at a fork in the road,
“I’m having a look at Sweet Apple Acres! I’ll see you later.” While Twilight trotted happily to the library, Tyler went on to the orchards. There, near the barn he found Applejack sleeping while leaning against a tree. Sitting right next to her, he took a piece of hay and tickled her nose for a bit. “Applejack… Where is my tough little country girl? In dreamland?”

With this the earth pony awoke and smiled up to him,
“Hey there, pardner! How was Canterlot?” As she got up, they shared a kiss and he took of her Stetson and put it on his head. Shortly after that, she nuzzled him and began kissing his neck while sitting beside him as he laid down at the tree. “Tyler? Applebloom probably stays with the crusaders in town for another hour, so why don’t ya… ya know… accompany me to the barn again?

Caressing her face and mane, he looked up to her,
“Ooohhh… Very tempting… But right now I think I shouldn’t undress and do it with you, AJ…”

Shaking her head in surprise, she blinked at him with wide eyes,
“What? Why not?” With a sly grin he looked up to her, only looking to the side for a second, as she noticed Applebloom peeking from the barn corner as the little filly leaned her head in with a giggle.

Now Sweetie Belle joined in right above her and they sang in unison.

Lastly Scootaloo peeked in and shook her head in disapproval, stretching out her tongue,
“Ewwwww!” By then Applejack blushed deeply as Tyler chuckled up to her. Getting up to his country girl, he turned her face to him and kissed her, prompting a sweet long “Awwww…” from both Applebloom and Sweetie Belle and another “Eww!” from Scootaloo. “That’s so gross! Come on, girls! We’ve wasted enough time! We got some crusading to do!”

Blushing deeply, Applejack now chuckled over to the two remaining fillies,
“Now Applebloom… It’s not nice to peek on couples!”

As both Applejack and Tyler came the way from the barn, he caressed her mane while walking beside her,
“Those little crusaders sure are curious, hm?”

Applejack chuckled nervously,
“It must be because Ah talked with Applebloom. Ah explained to her that yer mah special somepony together with Twilight and since then she wants to know all about it. Ah also told mah lil’ sister about our plans and that she might get a niece if everythin’ goes alright. That excited her quite good”

Tyler frowned,
“But you know what Twilight said… With me having less chromosome pairs-”

But she cut him off in midsentence,
“Look, Tyler Ah don’t care! No matter what it needs, Ah want a foal with ya! This is the only thing Ah’m sure of right now. That yer the stallion that should make me a foal… Ah would do anythin’ for that…”

As she leaned at a fence, he leaned on it as well and nodded,
“I’ll ask Luna about it… maybe she as an alicorn could help us out a bit. Since it means so much to you, maybe the princesses have some spells for that. To make you more acceptable for my sperm or something.”

The orange mare blushed a bit,
“Ah’m happy with that, Tyler. Having a foal with ya would make me the happiest mare in Equestria.”

Placing her Stetson back on her head, he placed a peck onto her nose,
“I know you would be… That’s why you’re my number one country girl…”

* * * * *

Later in the early evening, Tyler took a quill and another piece of paper. As he began to write, he thought about what to write in this letter. It wouldn’t be wise to ask right away about a solution. Nah… You can’t write a letter to her asking for a thing like that… That needs some more time… Better to wait until she’s in the herd… Then there’s the chance that she want one as well. Shaking his head, he began writing, deciding to wait a bit with this question. But another question was burning in his mind as well.

Dear Luna,

Today I’m writing to you, not only because of our daily routine, but also with a… let’s say a peculiar question. As you know, mares of the different pony races all reach heat season during spring. There are many books, even guides for other mares here in the library to study on this matter if it comes to unicorns, pegasi or earth ponies. But I wonder, do alicorn mares approach heat season as well? And that’s about the stupid little question on my mind. I’m already waiting for tonight, when you awaken from your slumber and write me back. Hopefully with an answer I’d love to read with another Royal Canterlot Canto of yours to soothe my ears before I go to sleep.
I remain, sweetest Luna,
Your courageous lover,
Tyler

With Spike and his Dragonmail, the letter was send. It was in the late evening as the Canto started anew, beginning over Canterlot and then welled over to Ponyville. Soon after that, the little dragon burped and brought another black scroll to Tyler,
“Here you go, Tyler! Another letter from the princess.” With a short ‘Thank you’ Tyler took the scroll.

Dear Tyler,

As always thou charm me and I happily begin my Canto for you as I write down these lines. Thy question is by far not stupid. And to answer it briefly: Yes, we alicorns approach a heat season as well. But our seasons don’t come once a year, but every 500 years. For alicorns, the biological clock needs longer than for mortal ponies to make a full year. This means every 500 years we approach heat season for one whole year. I remember when Celestia and I were in charge together before my banishment, we had every servant, advisor and guard in the castle exchanged with mares for the duration of this said year to avert catastrophe.

This begins harmless with playful behavior and continues to seductive behavior to the extent of molesting others. Until now we always managed to get out of harm’s way, yet I must confess that my last two heat seasons in banishment were the hardest to take. The first one at the beginning of the banishment and the second one in the middle of it. I blush at the mere thought of how unladylike my thoughts became during these lonely years.

I sincerely hope I will be in thy herd before I reach this state again. Frankly, divine lust is usually vanquished with divine self-control, but this reduces us to mere mares. If there is an acceptable mate around, this of course makes self-control rather difficult. But I hope this doesn’t startle thee or makes you worry about me or Celestia. I’ll arrive in Ponyville in a few days, hopefully to spend some time with thee on Nightmare Night.
In love,
Luna

Every 500 years? Ok, that’s a relief… Tyler thought and let off a sigh. I was afraid it would be during my lifetime… Then he halted and read through the letter again. She had it TWICE during her banishment? As he read the paragraph over and over again, his hands became sweaty and cramped into the paper. With a final sigh, he loosened his shoulders. “Never fear… Just stay out of Canterlot if things go ugly…” Who am I kidding? I mean a sun goddess thinks my butt is cute, what’s not to fear? “Tyler…?” He literally jumped at the mere mention of his name, as he realized that it was only Twilight. “What are you doing down there? Come up, let’s get some sleep.”
Her own voice was sleepy and she went to bed again. But this calmed him down a bit and he nodded. “Bed… Bedtime’s good…” With this he went upstairs and went to bed. As he lied beside Twilight, he was careful with her horn. He always feared that she could poke him into the eye or stab him with it. It wasn’t as long and pointy as an alicorn horn, but surely could do harm if swung around carelessly. Lying behind Twilight, his arm laid over her and tugging her in, she murmured slightly asleep. But placing a short soft peck on her cheek brought a slight smile on her face, almost like magic.

* * * * *

On the next day the whole town was in preparation for the nighttime festival. As Tyler came back from the Carousel Boutique he came back with what seemed to be a black leather jacket, leather trousers and some black leather boots,
“Twilight! I’m back! Luckily Rarity had enough artificial leather from the one or another contractor. She right-out disapproved of using real leather. Fitting, considering cows are sentient here as well. So yes… Artificial leather it is, but it’s high quality for sure.” As Twilight came down the stairs, he looked up to her. “You are… I don’t know… Some sort of magician?”

Narrowing her eyes, she almost facehoofed, but resisted the urge,
“I’m… Oh, right! You can’t know that yet! Yes, a very famous magician of history, Starswhirl the Bearded.”

Watching her costume for several moments and every side, he nodded,
“Made by yourself? Commendable!”

Hearing that brought a proud smile to the librarian,
“Well, I put some work into it, yet no one seems to get it.”

Tyler waved it away,
“You still look gorgeous in it! I bet this Starswhirl fellow never looked that good in that outfit as my pretty Twilight.” This made her blush a bit. Tyler on the other hand changed and soon after he was dressed in black leather.

Both Spike and Twilight looked at him,
“And what is that supposed to be?”

“Oh yes, I forgot, the shades are missing! Luckily I got some from Rainbow…” As he put them on, he wiped out every emotion off his face. “I’m the Terminator!” With a chuckle he took the shades off again.

Spike arched a brow,
“What in Celestia’s name is a terminator?”

Tyler grinned widely,
“It’s a fictional creation of science fiction. A cybernetic robot with human tissue over the robotic limbs so it looks human. Its purpose is to kill other humans in a future where machines have taken over the Earth."

Twilight arched her brows,
“You humans can build machines that look like humans?”

Rolling his eyes, he shook his head
“It’s a movie, Twilight. The robots we can build are machines for work, the robots we come up with in movies can do all sorts of crazy stuff we never can hope to build yet. It’s make belief. I mean we just can build machines that can balance them… To create intelligence… That’s beyond us. But enough of this… Let’s roll!” After this he put on his shades again.

But as Tyler opened the door, two fillies and three colts stood before him in different costumes,
“Nightmare night! What a fright! Give us something sweet to bite!”

Tyler lowered his shades and grinned,
“Great costumes, everyone! Happy Nightmare Night! And here are your sweets, you little demons!” Handing out candy to each of them, he was quite surprised as Pinkie Pie suddenly stood before him dressed up as a whoopee cushion.
He shook his head in disbelief. “So big and still harvesting sweets? Pinkie, you eat sweets all the time at Sugarcube Corner!”

But the pink earth pony didn’t flinch,
“Are we at Sugarcube Corner right now? Duh!” Shaking his head with narrowed eyes, Tyler gave in and dropped a bonbon into Pinkie’s bag.

With this the festival began. The ponies strolled around in their costumes in the early night, but were suddenly spooked as the loud bass of an electric guitar sounded of from the Town center. Standing on a stage, Tyler played the theme from Tales of the Crypt as he temporarily displaced the Nightmare Night band so they could take a short break. With the support of Vinyl Scratch he managed to perform with scary background beat. As the song was over twice, he stopped and the band nodded,
“Thanks for giving us the chance for-”

He waved it away in midsentence,
“It’s nothing! Even musicians need to go somewhere sometimes!” With this, he left the stage.

Vinyl Scratch on the other hand approached him. With a big grin she gave him a nudge,
“Dude, I always told you: You make the music, I make the wubs and beats and we own this stage! We should do this again!”

Tyler bend down and took off his shades,
“Well the night is still young, Vinyl. I say we go for another song later. How’s that?”

As she took of her DJ glasses again, she nodded, giving him a nod with a friendly glance of her of moderate cerise eyes,
“No sweat there, dude. I’ll take my time to listen to Tavia meanwhile.”

This caused him to frown a bit,
“Tavia?”

Looking up to the band she pointed at an earth pony in costume, playing a fiddle,
“Octavia over there! Oh, normally she plays the cello back in Canterlot, but we have a house here in Ponyville.”

It was then when wind came up. As Tyler looked up and saw the skies became cloudier by the second, he shook his head with a chuckle,
“Alright… Seems like Luna is coming…”

The groan of wood filled the air as a large pirate ship appeared out of the clouds. An equine version of the Jolly Roger was set. Large black sails hang down loose. With widened eyes did the citizens of Ponyville looked up as the large ship descended down from the skies.

In a panic, Pinkie Pie looked to the fillies around,
“Do you see that, everypony? Nightmare Moon has summoned the Flying Hoofman to catch us all! EVERYPONY RUN!!!!!”

As the kids began to run away, the ship landed and the anchor slammed into the ground. Tyler and Twilight both shared a glance, before they chuckled along. Tyler then shouted up to the ship,
“Luna? You got them all scared!”

Leaning over the railing, the Princess of the Night, wearing a pirate bandana and wielding a sabre, pouted,
“What? Already? But I wanted to give some quotations first!” harrumphing a bit, she readjusted her voice. “Arrrrhhh! Black Luna comes for ya, ya long shore lubbers!” With a giggle she jumped off the ship and landed before them.

Giving her a hug, Tyler greeted her,
“And here I was thinking you would come in a carriage!”

While both Twilight and Luna giggled, the alicorn shook her head,
“Nay, Tyler… I tried that and everypony got it all wrong. This time, I won’t make mistakes.”

Now Twilight and Luna shared a hug,
“Luna! It’s so good to see you!”

“Thou as well, Twilight Sparkle… I trained hard since last year…” replied the princess before they went to the center of town.

On their way, they conversed a bit. Among the themes and topics they discussed there were things that happened before his arrival as well, so Tyler couldn’t always participate to full extent. And of course, there were things that happened in the herd. These topics seemed to be most interesting for Luna and she seemed most interested about them. How Tyler treated his herd, of what they talk and most importantly, how they spend free time.

Twilight explained the princess that Tyler comes from a world where almost everyone lives in monogamy and how it shines through in his behavior. That he tries his best to treat both Applejack and her equally, yet that he felt quite touched when he heard about Luna’s loneliness,
“And since then, our Casanova here brought great effort to make our little herd worthy in your eyes, Luna. I think you touched something deep within him. An aspect in him neither Applejack nor I really touched to that extent."

Then suddenly a lightning went off behind them. All three of them looked up, partially spooked, spotting a laughing Rainbow Dash in superhero costume on a storm cloud. Tyler arched a brow with a strict tone,
“Rainbow…?”

But pointing a hoof at him, the Pegasus mare hovered right before him in the next moment,
“Hey! You weren’t eating! I took safety precautions this time, T-man!”

With a grin he raised his hand and several small lightning bolts danced over it,
“Well, for your sake I say you stay alert yourself, Rainbow… Or the pranks might return to you…”

With this, the Pegasus mare grinned mischievously,
“You want to prank the Dash-girl, T-man? Fat chance!”

Holding his hand up to her, he slightly cocked his hand and grinned,
“Dare to make a bet out of it?”

“Anytime, T-man!” With this, she took his hand for a shake, only to be zapped while doing so. Then she remembered it. He could use magic!

With a sly grin he passed by,
“Tonight you lost, girl… But that doesn’t mean you have to like it!”

With mouth agape, Rainbow followed Tyler with a surprised glance before rubbing her chin,
“Man, he’s good… Maybe…” Looking at Twilight and Luna, who both shook their heads, she chuckled. “Well, I guess you’re right… No need to turn this into a prank-a-thon!”

Tyler now enjoyed the festival, playing the one or another game with the rest of the townsfolk. But it wasn’t until long that a female whistle made him turn towards the trees, where Luna stood, winking at him. With a warm chuckle, he approached her,
“A pirate, huh?”

She giggled in enjoyment,
“And thou a black knave? I really enjoyed this tonight… It turned out that this festival was quite different from the last time I was here… And not only because I now know how to approach the citizens… No, I could spend the time with thee. But, who knows? This night could still become better” She gave him a little nudge while passing him, waving her flank seductively.

“So I guess you girls already talked about that stuff too, huh? I only feel bad to courting you all this time and… you know…”

Luna smiled and whirled her ethereal mane around her neck,
“Like I get thy heart and the rest of thee goes to the girls? Tempting, tempting… But what if I want to spend the night with thee? Would thou love me as thou would love them?”

Tyler embraced her and caressed her ethereal mane which felt like silk touch on his hands,
“For you, I’ll make the night alive, not stopping loving you until dawn comes and you slumber happily. I’ll even wait the whole day if necessary to kiss you goodbye.”

As she blushed, she gave him a warm and loving smile,
“The stallion isn’t supposed to have a favorite mare as far as I know, but it’s wonderful to hear and see that thou see me as somepony special.”

Tyler shook his head,
“Everypony is something special! You make no difference in that.”

With these words she brushed her tail at him while passing him. He remembered this gesture. It was an advance by the royal mare showing affection. Now he already knew that she was interested in him, but as he remembered, this particular gesture was one of sincere feeling. He gulped as he knew how to answer on her gesture. It was most imperative that he responded to this gesture right away. Otherwise he would disgrace her as it would look like he would disdain her.

She was standing back to back with him now due to the gesture, so he turned to her and approached her. He had no tail to brush against her, so he opened his hand as he slowly walked around her in the same way she did it. At his touch, he let his palm and fingers glide over her body making her shiver once or twice in excitement,
“Luna…” he said in a lordly warm voice. “I didn’t know your feelings were that deep for me already… I feel praised…”

At the middle of her breastplate his hand rested as they exchanged seductive looks from each other,
“I see my sister instructed thee the way to show thy feelings in a proper way, Tyler… The fact that thou use this knowledge to please me shows that thou are no fool… Do thou really think it is possible for us to live together? And do thou dare to approach me?”

Taking her chin into his grasp and looking into her eyes beneath her precious moon, he announced his response,
“There are things that seem impossible like your moon turning into a sun, Luna. I dare not to calculate the odds of the creation of two different worlds, who after millions upon millions of years create life for generation after generation until finally our parents give life to our forms and that fate against unfathomable odds makes it possible that two… us two… can emerge to herd mates. To create a couple so specific and different and a link between their worlds… against all these odds… is so likely like your moon turning into a sun. A miracle… And due to this miracle… I find the courage to step forth and courtship you…”

Her heart skipped a beat as he said those wonderful words to her. She bowed her head to his chest and raised her head slowly while taking a deep breath at him. Again, this was another gesture and it only showed her willingness to make bodily contact on this meeting. Obviously she was ready to go a step further. Tyler gulped at the look of her eyes, welling with tears that appeared like tiny diamonds in the moonlight. She expected him to respond to this as well and so he bowed down to her chest, raising the head along her neck as he also took a deep breath. What’s the worst that could happen on the second date? He thought. Probably just another barrage of kisses.

But when he looked up on her, he saw her eyes not only full of love or looking for seducing him. This time he felt like she would eye him like a piece of meat to devour. The tears had run down her cheeks and her breath was heavy now,
“I see we wish the same, Tyler…I’ve recognized thy looks thou see… Thou are the first and last of thy kind here… And although I and my sister are divine, we don’t have an alicorn stallion at our disposal… While my sister is an alicorn of the light, a supreme being of the day and the platonic love for our subjects is enough for her… I on the other hand am an alicorn of the darkness. I have… urges… Urges I need to satisfy! For the average mare this is easy to overcome. Having to do without it for oh so many millennia however… I think thou get the amount of frustration I have to cope with. But from the common citizen to the aristocrat they cower before me. They dare not to touch me as thou do! And so, in all of Equestria I only deem thou worthy to be my equal, Tyler Jones.”

He had to swallow a lump in his throat on that one,
“Th-This…” He surely was fighting for words now. “This is deep…”

She smiled at him in a mischievous manner,
“We both never saw a being like the other. I am as baffled as thou are. Pray tell, if someone would have hinted to thee that thou would fall in love to something like me a few months before, wouldn’t thou just laugh at him?”

Tyler nodded while looking at her,
“But I guess I know better now.”

She raised her head proudly,
“So do I… I see through thy guise now only to realize thy strong heart and will. Thou are a male seeing me for who I am, not what I am.”

He simply shrugged and gave her a smile,
“True… I strip you of your form, your title and what’s left for me to see is this lonely female seeking for comfort so desperately. A picture so sad it almost breaks my heart. You deserve so much better, Luna.”

Her eyes fixed his, stabbing him like daggers,
“I am who I am and I did what I did. It cannot be undone. I regret many of my deeds as many of them were bad. I paid my price with utter loneliness without even my sister to comfort me.”

As tears began to glitter in her eyes, he laid his hand on her lips,
“Luna, don’t torture yourself with it! You were forgiven! And it has come to past. My love, please calm down and seek comfort at my side.”

She gasped as she heard his voice and rested her head on his chest,
“Tyler…My heart races… I’m shivering! Truly this is not a night of terror, but a night in which thou made me feel happy to be alive. I want to perform one last gesture. Thou don’t have to redo it right now, but I want to perform it to thee. I wish to tell thee how deep my feelings are. Although… I’m not sure if I manage to make it proper to the abyss of these emotions, but please… Bear with me.” As she maintained some distance again, he nodded, not knowing what she was up to.

Then she encircled him, maintaining eye contact with him whenever possible with a seductive smile. When she rubbed her body against his buttocks, slapping her tail against it, his eyes widened. Ah no… She… She isn’t… As they shared looks as she was in front of him again, she winked at him, raising her head rubbing it softly into his chest while giggling like a mare in her first love. This made him shiver nervously. Oh man… She IS! While streaking along his back again, she bumped her flank into him. She totally is… With this she approached him again and rested her head on his chest,
“Did thou enjoyed my offer?”

He chuckled nervously,
“Enjoyed… Words fail me on this, Luna. I don’t know if I should run for cover or jump on the next tower to pronounce my joy to all of Equestria…”

With a mischievous grin she looked into his eyes,
“I’m not a little filly anymore, Tyler… Such as thou are no stranger to this issue I guess.” Her lips pressed themselves on his as she took the initiative this time. Being assertive, the princess began to brush her tongue against his for the most intimate kiss so far. His right hand rested on her head while his other one caressed her long and slender neck. When they parted their lips, she turned her back on him. “Thou really treat me good, my noble servant… I am pleased with thy honesty…” she said jokingly. “But for now we have to part. Until we meet again.” She spread her wings and flew off with her giant pirate ship, the situation on the other hand compelled him to sit down and gulp a heavy burden down.

* * * * *

As Twilight and the others gathered together in the library the next day, Tyler came downstairs. As usual, Twilight greeted him,
“Well then, Casanova! It seems yesterday’s event turned out quite good! How did things go with the Princess? Did she enjoy her second Nightmare Night more than the first since you were courting her into our little herd?”

Opening his arms to greet everypony, he looked at her while giving hugs to the rest of the Mane six,
“Of course she did, Twilight… You said yourself she was having problems the last time…”

Twilight rolled her eyes as she gave his reply a smile,
“Yes… I mean did you two enjoyed your time together?”

Tyler saw to the other mares, harrumphed briefly and looked outside the window,
“Well we greeted together, spoke a bit about the evening…”

Applejack’s and Twilight’s eyes widened in anticipation,
“Yes?”

Now going around the table and folding his hands together, Tyler continued,
“… And we were performing gesture number A25…”

Twilight’s face began to beam in joy,
“Oooohhh, your feelings are both deep and sincere as well!”

“… we then performed B47…” he continued and Twilight’s grin was growing widely.

“Kyaaahh! Willingness to touch each other! What’s next? A kiss? Oh, tell me you kissed her!”

Tyler rubbed his neck in slight embarrassment,
“Yeah that as well… but, uh… Well, how do I put it…? After a little talk she performed D 42…”

The room was completely silent now as Twilight’s jaw dropped down,
“No!” the young unicorn said in disbelief.

“Yes, she did.” he replied while she was holding her head with her hooves, shaking it fiercely.

“NOOO! I won’t believe this!” Levitating the book to herself she looked through the pages. “This is too fast! WAY too fast! She shouldn’t perform that gesture until later on! Like in… several months!!!”

Shrugging now, he pointed his hand to Twilight and started counting on his fingers,
“I‘m telling you, Twilight: Encircling me, rubbing herself against my buttocks, slapping her tails against it, rubbing her head at my chest and streaking again at my bum bumping her flank into me.“

Rarity spat her tea out, gasping for breath,
“She did WHAT?!? This is THE most open and romantic way in royalty to say that she’s ready to… to… Oh, sweet Celestia!” With this the white unicorn fainted.

Applejack, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash looked at each other and then turned to Twilight,
“Mind if ya both fill us in here? Y’all are making enough fuzz about it as it would be something major! Tyler, sugarcube. What’s this all about?” Twilight looked to Tyler and as he nodded she whispered into the earth pony’s and the Pegasi’ ears.

All three let their jaws drop,
“Whoa nelly! It takes guts to buckle down an apple that big!” Fluttershy blushed deeply and remained silent. It seemed a bit too personal for the timid yellow Pegasus.

Rainbow on the other hand eyed Tyler for a while until she shook her head,
“You aren’t just going to win; you are going for the record! Now THAT’S cool! But play it nice to the princess, you hear?”

Tyler held up his hands,
“Now hold it, girls! Don’t spread that around, OK?”

Applejack came closer to him pushing her right fore-hoof to his chest,
“We will stay quiet about this, Mister, but yer on thin ice now! Princess Luna is co-ruler of Equestria! Ah don’t understand all of this royal flapdoodle they do in high society herds, but this Ah know: Ya mess with the young princess; herd mate or not, Ah’ll buckle yer face like a tree. Ya got that? If we ponies love one thing it’s the ponies caring about us. Don’t get the wrong idea. Yer a mighty fine stallion and treated me and Twilight better than we ever expected ya to treat us. Ah never met a guy so adaptable like yerself, but ya sure have guts to pull that off! Make sure ya do that right or Celestia be mah witness: Ah’ll get ya even before Princess Celestia.”

Tyler stood there, baffled for a moment,
“Yes, ma’am! And Applejack?” With an arched brow the earth pony eyed him as he descended a bit to be on equal size with her. “Mhm?” Giving her a big hug now, he patted her back while doing it. “Thanks for being honest.”

She rolled her eyes, resting a hoof on his back with a sister-like smile,
“Don’t sweat it, sugarcube! Ah know yer not that kind of guy. Just a reminder, so don’t fool around with her!”

It was then when Pinkie pie leaned in,
“So… It’s time for a happy new herd mate party?”

But Tyler vigorously shook his head,
“Pinkie, no! Please! Promise me you won’t tell anypony as of yet!”

The pink earth pony simply smiled and performed several gestures with her hooves in front of him,
“Hmmm…. OK! I won’t tell anypony! Cross my heart, hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye.”

Tyler blinked at her, perplexed,
“What was that?” Pinkie now began to beam wide.

As she trotted beside him she sat down to her haunches,
“That’s my Pinkie promise! It means that this is a promise never to break! Breaking such a promise could make you lose your friend forever!”

Tyler frowned,
“Forever?”

With an unusual strict and determined look, she looked at him,
“FOREVER!!!”

Looking over to the others of what to do with Pinkie now, the others simply shrugged,
“It’s OK, Tyler! It’s standard procedure for her.” With this he nodded and gave Pinkie another hug.

After this, Tyler turned to Twilight and leaned in to the book,
“So… uh… What happens next?” Twilight browsed through the pages until she read a few lines.

She then looked up to Tyler and nodded,
“It says she will summon you.” Tyler then went upstairs, frowning a bit.

As he was at the balcony door, he shrugged,
“Summon me? Like what? Do I disappear here and reappear in her chambers? You know… A magical summoning?” He suddenly heard something behind him from the balcony. As he turned around, a carriage was hovering over the balcony. From it a gray unicorn mare approached the balcony door and knocked three times.

Answering it, Tyler opened the door and the mare inspected him,
“I take it you are Tyler Jones?” Her voice sounded like she was twanging a bit. As he nodded briefly, the mare continued. “I was sent here by Princess Luna to invite you to her this night. The Princess wishes to see you.”

As he turned to the others, Twilight took a brief look into the book and gestured him to accept,
“I gladly accept.”

With this the mare nodded and showed him the way to the carriage,
“Oh, you mean right now! Ok… Uh… Folks? I’m off to Canterlot for now…” As he entered the carriage, the gray mare stepped in as well and the pegasi pulled the carriage back to Canterlot. Tyler’s thoughts began to spin. He was only dressed in casual clothing. What to expect from this? Another date? Or… Will she go for it? Nah… Stop thinking with your dick! She just wants to spend more time with you!

As he looked to the mare, he harrumphed briefly and the mare gave him her attention,
“Yes?”

He thought for a moment,
“So, uh… What are your duties for Princess Luna? And what’s your name? You know me; I don’t know anything about you!”

She looked onwards and nodded,
“I am Shadrane, the princess’ governess. I take my job seriously although I know that there is nothing I can teach her anymore. I therefore see myself as her second conscience. Frankly I don’t actually know what she sees in you, but I don’t doubt my princess. I won’t judge you, but this doesn’t mean I like you.”

Tyler nodded. Obviously not every pony was happy with Luna’s decision to let him court her. The possible reasons were numerous. Specism, distrust, fear, inexperience with humans… He then looked to her,
"I’m sorry you don’t like me, Shadrane… But you’re not the one I’m courting.”

The mare didn’t move a muscle. Her face was solid as stone,
“Honest words… Commendable! You don’t seem to fear speaking what’s on your mind. Both a virtue and vice in one. We will see, Tyler Jones… We will see your worth for the worth of your actions. There are many eyes locked on you. And some think you ascend quite fast in Equestria. Maybe even faster than it is healthy for some. This is no threat… Take it as a sorrow of mine…”

With this they landed in Canterlot Castle. Tyler looked around for a watch. It was early in the day, surely they would prepare him somehow. But he only was led into a chamber. Shadrane nodded to a cupboard and a door,
“I shall get you later. Right now the princess slumbers. A bath might be appropiate. Ready yourself before I take you to her." With this she went down the hallway.

When he stepped into the hall to the royal chambers, he took a good look around. He was sure, despite wearing shoes, the floor here felt different, slightly colder. It was dark marble, truly luxurious. This must be Luna's wing of the castle... He thought. After taking a thorough bath and a short nap, he awakened in the early evening and waited. The clock and its ticking made the whole thing an ordeal. Finally at 7pm, Shadrane entered his chamber after knocking three times.

"We mustn’t let the princess wait. Tyler Jones, please hurry! The princess will punish me if I don’t bring you to her as soon as possible." With a quick nod, Tyler hurried up and walked beside Shadrane. As they arrived at the large door with the fresko of a crescent moon, Shadrane knocked three times. After a short "Come in!" she opened the door.

Taking a stance, Shadrane reported to Luna,
"Milady! As you wished, your companion has arrived."

Taking a sip from a cup, Luna nodded,
"Thank you, Shadrane... You may go now." With this, the gray mare bowed and turned to Tyler. Giving him a short inspection, she sighed silent and gave him a brief nod. Tyler thought to know her thoughts in this minute. You're on your own now, boy... With this he stepped in and closed the large door behind him

Luna was sitting on her haunches on a big pillow as she drank some tea,“I greet thee, Tyler…To this late hour meeting.”

He scratched his head,
“Yeah… um… Sure thing… I don’t mind as I’m more of a night owl…”

“Just as me…” Her tone was more covetous as usual. “I want your hands around me…” He gulped. Here goes... As his hands started to gently caress every inch of her body, she shivered while remaining still. He remembered the spots from the book and how Rainbow reacted to some points towards the wing muscles. A smile came to his face as he remembered her cyan coat turned almost to magenta while blushing. She confessed that these are very subtle zones, highly sensitive and erogenous and he better treat a girl right before even thinking of touching her there. She even went so far that she would beat him up if he ever gives a Pegasus mare a hard time over this.

Now, while touching Luna there, the touch of these zones made her squeal in ecstasy followed by a hard tremble. Taking a breath she looked up to him with something between fear and anticipation,
“Don’t thou dare to stop!” she pleaded in a frail voice, barely able to give it a commanding tone.

Knowing those zones seemed to be its worth the weight in gold,
“Everything OK with you, Luna my love?”

With an already satisfied look on her face she seemed to be enjoying herself,
“Yes… Yes, everything is EEEEK!” As he pointed a finger into a specific point above her flank she almost began to scream. But in a ladylike manner she held her mouth with a hoof. Now, being irritated by his knowledge of the alicorn body, she looked him into the eyes with a helpless glaze. ”Who taught you how to please alicorns so good? It’s like you know all my buttons…”

He shrugged with a sly smile,
“Let’s just say your sister knows her books quite well…”

“Oh that mischievous, sun loving beldam! No doubt she plotted this in the first place…” After a while, Luna pleaded that he would stop to please her like this because it brought her into mood, but she wanted to cherish the moment with him. “Now… This was wonderful… Thank you, Tyler… I see, my sister instructed thee well to please me. I remember what large of a tome it is. And thou seem to find every spot right away… Thou certainly put effort into pleasing me.” Giving him a peer she seemed to hide every emotion right now as she turned her back to him. “Aren’t thou afraid that I refuse thee? Thou are a mortal after all… I on the other hand am immortal. Why should I let thee or thy herd accompany me? So thou can die in a few years leaving me behind mourning for thy dead remains? Shouldn’t thou herd with our friends Applejack and Twilight Sparkle? They are mortal as well, thou could get old together. I will stay young as thou grow old, beloved. Should I really start this?”

Tyler gulped and watched her every move,
“Yes, you are right. We couldn’t be more different. Mortal and immortal, human and alicorn, commoner and princess. But neither the less! I feel the very urge to save you.”

She arched a brow, still with her back turned to him,
“Save me?”

He nodded,
“From loneliness… I saw your eyes, Luna… They are strong, but out of duty and effort. I see uncertainty in them. You are alone and yearn for someone at your side, even if it’s just for a little while. I’m not immortal, but I’m willing to give you all you need from a companion.”

She turned around to him and stared at him, frightened,
“I’m… I’m not Celestia! I’m not as kind as she is! I’ll corrupt thee! Tis my nature!”

As he slowly approached her, his eyes were fixed on hers,
“I’ll follow you into the darkest pit if you wish it!”

Taking a gulp, she stepped backwards,
“Thou still think like a being of the light, Tyler! At my side, thou would learn to suffer for my pleasure!”

With a big grin he took another step to her,
“If that’s what makes you happy? Sure, torment me! I would love you twice the time afterwards…” She yelped as she suddenly sat on her bed. Taking her cheeks into his palms, he looked into her eyes. Those determined, yet frightened eyes...
“You are so beautiful when you’re trying to protect me from your influence, Luna… But warn a moth not to fly into the flame. She loves the light in the dark and dies from it…”

With this he kissed her again and she gave in. Why is he so nice to me? I am Princess Luna, co-ruler of Equestria, Princess of the Night! Why doesn’t he fear me? Why doesn’t he cower before me like all the others? The world span in her mind and as she embraced him with her hooves, she pulled him on the bed as a lonely tear sparkled down her cheek. I don’t know love… I never tasted it from anyone besides my sister. I know so much about pony coupling, all the books about sexuality, may it be earth ponies, unicorns or pegasi alike… I read them all… poems about love… I read so many in all my years… None prepared me for this… this… ORDEAL of new impressions! This never ending flood of joy… This sweet delicious pain in my heart.

She gasped for air as his kisses went down her neck and his hands caressed her whole body. Her body shivered as his kisses reached her chest and his tongue slid over her belly. Her eyes widened as she felt his hand caressing the coat around her marehood. Even now he was careful not to go too fast. How sweet of him… With this she laid down to the side.

There was that moment of complete silence as they both looked into each other’s eyes. He gulped and she gave him a shy nod. As he entered her, she let out a gasp in delight, followed by a deep moan in an unladylike manner. Thrust after thrust, her senses more and more began whirling. The world seemed gone, her body became light. With sharp loud moans did she embrace waves of ecstasy as he lifted her wings and gently licked alongside her wing muscles. This one lick alone brought her to the brink of climax. It faded away quickly, but returned with every further lick.

By now his hips found a steady rhythm and he took his time to keep her there near climax. As her eyes locked on him, her head leaned back, longing for a kiss and he was happy to greet her lips with his own. It was like a dam breaking down upon her as each thrust made her feel the wall of loneliness breaking. At last! She thought, the feeling of the sweet sensations making her mind go blank. He turned out just the way she imagined him. He was the perfect mate, both emotional and sexual. And deep within she knew that he was the one who would be forever in her heart.

As her mind began to return a bit, she shook her head and looked at him, determination in her eyes,
“Tyler… Tonight… I’m not thy princess! DON’T hold back anymore on my behalf! I want thee to give me your all, beloved.” He looked her deep into the eyes and she nodded again, wiping away all his doubts. It was then when he took her flanks into an iron grasp and began thrusting harder. Already was she seeing stars as he began to speed up the pace, making her eyes roll backwards. Her lover reduced her, the co-ruler of the land to a mere mare in the need of being mounted.

How unladylike she was now, wallowing in ecstasy and lust like a sow in the mud. As her own heat began to rise up into her mind, she gritted her teeth as she mustered all her sanity to release them both from this lustful ordeal. “Breed me…” she whispered. That’s when it finally got him and he shot his semen deep into her, moaning while he did it.

Outside of the room the guards tried their best to stay calm themselves,
“Damn…” one of them muttered. “What a lucky bastard…”

Luna was lying on the bed now, spent. Her flanks were still twitching and shivering as he finally released his lover of the tight grip. He then lay down beside her, kissed her gently to calm her down,
“Tyler… This… I… Don’t think of me as nymphomania now…”

He laughed and caressed her dark blushed cheek,
“You had things to catch up… And you need it rough. I like that in a woman, or rather mare… Now who’s my bad little girl of the night?”

She grinned in a mischievous way as she leaned on him,
“I am your bad little girl of the night…” With a happy giggle, she welcomed his lips. “My. Dark. Companion.”

Meanwhile a servant knocked nervously at Celestia’s door. “Your highness, the moon is about an hour late to get down! Aren’t you concerned?”

But the princess cocked her head and arched a brow.
“Oh, hush up! I’ll make an exception today! My little sister has a coltfriend!” As the servant nodded obediently and left the room, she giggled and raised a scroll and a quill. “Now… What pranks to play first on those two?”

* * * * *

An hour later the sun was set and Tyler came out of the bathroom, fresh and clean. Stretching his back he smiled over Luna’s resting body. As he caressed her mane careful not to wake her in her tender slumber, he kissed her on forehead, right beside her horn. “Sweet dreams, my beloved princess…”

As he left the young princess’ chamber, a voice sounded right behind him,
“Tyler Jones! How dare you laying a finger upon my beloved sister?” He froze immediately at Celestia’s sharp tone. But as she approached she giggled at him. “At ease, Defender. I’m only joking”

Relief was in his sigh now as he realized that the princess was only mocking him for a bit,
“I think I almost wet my pants…” he muttered under his breath as he turned to her.

“Nonetheless…” She continued, “You now know that you’re not only Ponyville’s defender anymore but even more to my sister? She will have need for you and your… charms…” Her flank bumped into him as she giggled. “Don’t get the wrong idea! I am happy if my little sister is happy as well and I’m happy for both of you. It was the right choice of me to guide you carefully to her side. You’re a good man and will have good influence on her. As a matter of fact I’m sure of it.”

He bowed his head a bit,
“Thank you, Princess… That amount of trust is encouraging”

She cocked her head,
“You are my sister’s herdmate now, Tyler. Just say Celestia.”

Now that was something he wasn’t prepared for,
“D- Does this mean I’m part of royalty now?”

Giggling she bowed her head next to him,
“After tonight? In a manner…” He blushed deeply. She sure knew how to get information. “You’ll see a certain change in the way ponies will react to you. Now that you are the close companion of Luna, they will lose most of their fears. Some may stay wary because of your omnivorous eating habits but I anticipate no bigger problems… Come with me. We’ll have a cup of tea or two…” This prompted him to gulp, he knew what happened the last time they had tea together.

With tense in his body he sat there right beside her, wary of what could happen next as he nervously sipped on his cup of tea. Celestia however seemed calm and regal as always. As she sipped her tea, she gave him a warm glance,
“Now Tyler… I already told you so many times, that you don’t have to be so nervous around me.” Her voice was warm and motherly and this relaxed him for a bit as he took a deep breath in and out. As he visibly calmed down, she nodded. “There you go… It’s not so bad around me, is it?” Before he could say something, she leaned in and nuzzled him. That was new. It felt calming, not intimidating and he more and more lost his worries. Maybe her divine self-control got back and she wanted to make up for her previous behavior.

Nuzzling her human friend now, Celestia smiled,
“You are a good man, Tyler. I feel happy for my sister and the other members of your herd. You tend to say coming to Equestria was the best thing that happened to you, but the truth is, this land profits from your very presence as well. So does my sister and so do I.”

He gazed at her, puzzled,
“Celestia? What do you mean by that?” With a warm smile she simply continued nuzzling him.

"Tia? Where's Tyler? He left my chambers..." As Luna stepped in slightly sleepy, she cocked her head awakening in an instant. “Tia? What the Tartarus are thou doing with my herd mate and beloved?”

Celestia giggled in a slightly mischievous manner,
“Why, nuzzling him of course! I can see why you love him, Lulu. He sure likes to cuddle.”

Sitting right next to Tyler now, making him sit between the two regal sisters, Luna tugged him over to herself,
“Enough! I won’t let thou cuddle him anymore!” Showing a pout, Luna laid a hoof around Tyler, claiming him.

Celestia grinned and leaned forward,
“Oh, don’t envy him, Lulu! Surely I’ll cuddle you as well!” As she nuzzled Luna’s mane and face, Tyler burst into laughter. Soon after that, Celestia and Luna also began to laugh.

As he got up, he kissed Luna passionately,
“You sure are easy to tease, my love…” He then turned to Celestia pointed a finger at her. “And you sure like to tease her, Celestia…” The next moment, Celestia’s lips engulfed his finger, gently sucking on it. Both Tyler and Luna watched with widened eyes, not believing what they saw. “Luna…. Tell me she’s not…”

With a twitching eye, Luna gritted her teeth,
“Celestia! WHAT IN THE TARTARUS???”

Ignoring her sister, Celestia looked up to Tyler while sucking his finger. He could see the wish in her eyes that this was not just a mere finger and shook his head disapprovingly,
“It already got you that hard, huh? My, Celestia… You are a bad alicorn girl…”

Letting go of his finger, she looked up and nodded with a… Tyler shook his head for a bit again. An obedient look? “Yes… Yes, I am…”

Tyler facepalmed himself. Of all the lands I could fall into, I fall into the one where the princesses have a fetish for deference!?! “This is going to be a looong night of explaining… Alright, listen…” And so he spent several hours of talk explaining to Luna how Celestia always seemed to tease him once in a while on several occasions. How she tried to induce interest for herself in Tyler by acting seductively.

Luna, after hearing all this, shook her head,
“Tia! Nay! Can thou imagine the scandal? Him not only courting me… But now thou wish to be courted as well? The Sparkles already have one hoof in nobility for Shining Armor marrying Cadance… Now Twilight Sparkle, Applejack Apple and Tyler are courting me into their little herd as well. And thou now want to join this herd as well? Not only calls this for him to be given a peerage for courting me into his herd, it is needed if thou want to join in as well! And of course, thou haven’t asked the other herd mates yet!”

Tyler shook his head,
“Twilight and Applejack will go crazy! I know Twilight would feel either highly honored or deeply shocked about that. I mean, both of them are no alicorns. The fear of you both grabbing me away would be omnipresent. You would have to talk to them very often…” He then gave Celestia a stern look. “Also… Is this your heart speaking? Or do you just want someone to mate with?”

With this, both princesses gasped, yet Luna gave her big sister an equally stern look. She seemed to demand an answer to this as well. Celestia grimaced a bit, seemed to try to clear her mind a bit, until she gulped,
“I… I love the way you treat me…”

Tyler looked to Luna and chuckled,
“Yeah, heard that before…”

The princess of the sun blushed and looked down,
“It’s… not easy staying regal… in this year of heat… It never is…But it never got so out of hoof! I won’t lie… If you stand up to me… my heart races. This disobedience… This rebellious mind of yours… The excitement of not knowing of how you react… All this deeply attracts me…”

Tyler looked to Luna and she shook her head.
“Tis love, Tyler Jones… My sister is far beyond help now…” He now went through his hairs with both hands while digesting this. Now BOTH sisters where out for him. Well it sounded plausible… What does a girl want if she has everything? Ruling all the land, every pony bows down to her. Then someone living in her land defying her to an extent becomes very interesting after thousands of years of silent obedience. And here he was, a human not giving a damn about monarchy, diarchy or any other form of ruling class. He was a man standing out between all the obedient subjects, even willing to stand up against her if necessary. If he knew how that would have turned out, he would have been a brownnoser or something. Luckily Princess Cadance was already happily married…

He shook his head and stood up. He was slightly nauseous,
“I need some fresh air, my mind spins around…”

As he went outside to the balcony, Celestia looked up to her younger sister,
“Lulu? What do you think? What will he do?”

Looking outside, the princess of the night smiled and nodded back to her sister,
“Tis mental stress, Tia. He will think of something once his mind clears. I think he took it well!” In this moment, the sound of vomiting emitted from the balcony, prompting the dark alicorn to grimace. “Ok… Maybe tis A LOT of mental stress!”

* * * * *

Meanwhile in Ponyville library, Twilight had a most unpleasant nightmare. She dreamt of a burning city, engulfed in green flames, as a completely black mare began to speak with a voice she hoped to hear never again,
“And so it came to pass that the Amasian Enclave did ceased to exist. This day was when our crusade would begin anew for our defeat in Canterlot was far from our final demise.” By then the black mare lit up with green fire, turning into the form of Twilight’s nemesis to be, Chrysalis. “This will be remembered as the day the Changelings returned…”

No! This can’t be! We defeated her! Twilight thought. But as her dream was continuing, her worst fears became true as the Changeling queen continued. “For our feast…” As her followers replied, Twilight could hear that they were still many.

With a self-righteous grin Chrysalis continued as Twilight could see her in a whole. The wounds she took from the Spell of Shining Armor and Cadance were healed and she stood over her last victim, a stallion in complete black coat and some royal uniform,
“For Victory!!” Twilight couldn’t see exactly where she was standing, but it looked like an unknown kingdom, ruined and burning down as smoke was rising from everywhere.

Now Twilight could hear that her followers not even managed to regain their numbers. No, she remembered the terrifying numbers of Changelings attacking Equestria. But this sounded like they even multiplied in numbers. Fear struck the young unicorn with this thought. But by then Chrysalis raised her hoof to her subjects, victorious as she bared her fangs,
“For the ruin of love itself!!!” Twilight could see the horde clearly now. An army of hundreds of thousands of Changelings stretched out before Chrysalis and raised their perforated hooves for their queen in a victorious manner.
