  1. >Night of the Bygone Tribe in Equestria
  2. >Be Anonymous the Inquisitor
  3. >Today marks the third day of visiting the new prisoner, Rosewood
  4. >As per usual, Nightlight is in tow
  5. >She has grown much more curious of the prisoner and you are happy she is learning
  6. >Nightlight is very intelligent, if she could just overcome her attachments
  7. >You stare down to your trainee
  8. "Protocol, now."
  9. >With that, the green-eyed mare looks up with narrowed eyes and grins through her small fangs
  10. >"The prisoner is not a pony, she is a number to be filed and a tool to be used."
  11. "Perfect..."
  12. >"The prisoner shall be fed twice daily, a meal will be withheld if she is uncooperative."
  13. "Indeed..."
  14. >"And the prisoner is not to be allowed any more books, even if she asks me really nicely."
  15. >You look to Nightlight as her smile wanes a bit
  16. "Absolutely, we do not want a repeat of a the, 'Tree' incident."
  17. >"Who knew her super special talent was using any tree product as a weapon?"
  18. >You smirk and admire Rosewood's will to kill you
  19. >It makes you feel that much more alive to challenge another who would use their full potential against you
  20. >"Did you have to break her legs for that though?"
  21. "It was a learning experience for her..."
  22. >Nightlight giggles with you
  23. >"Oh, Anon, you can be so silly sometimes. The stitches on your hand and head are still not healed, are they?"
  24. "Flesh wound; you are impeccable with a needle and thread."
  25. >"Momma always wanted me to make dresses. At least the skill is handy still!"
  26. >Nightlight chuckles and saunters to your side
  27. >You approach a guarded building with tall, grey walls and elegantly carved steps
  28. >Guards line the walls and stand at posts in the entrance ways with shining armour and glimmering weapons
  29. >You admire them; working diligently, loving their duty for their princesses
  30. >It is what life has always been and what life should always be
  31. >You wave to a guard who allows you entrance with his magic
  32. >The stones turn slowly and grind the earth below as unseen forces allow you to pass
  33. >Nightlight walks ahead of you and merrily steps in time with some mysterious rhythm
  34. >The music filling the tunnel makes you a bit leery, but you press on
  35. >You are ready this night and have your weapon in your hand along with a woodsman's ax
  36. >No foul magic or foul lumber will hinder your interrogations
  37. >As you enter the antechamber of the prison, the music grows louder
  38. >"This is a good song... Where's it coming from?"
  39. >A stallion comments from his post
  40. >"Number 386 has requested a music box."
  41. >Your face twists in mild annoyance
  42. "Why was I not consulted of this decision?"
  43. >"Oh, um... We didn't think...
  44. >Anon thrust his spear into the face of the guard until the point is within centimeters of the stallion's nose
  45. "You are not paid to -think-. You are paid to follow my orders!"
  46. >A feeling of a small weight presses on your leg and you look down
  47. >"Anon, I am sure it was a mistake."
  48. >"Y-yes, sir! A mistake, sir!"
  49. >You will not have such decisions ruin your hard work
  50. "If this happens again, you will lose half your rations for the remaining week. Am I understood?"
  51. >The stallion nods his head feverishly before returning to his post
  52. >Nightlight and you walk onward to a secluded section of the prison and come upon the chamber of Rosewood
  53. >A stone plank reads, "386" on the cell and the metal door tightly holds against the solid mortar framing
  54. >You grasp the cool handles and turn them slowly until the sound of a hitch and lock unhook
  55. >Opening the door reveals a small, but comfortable bed with Rosewood propped on her side
  56. >"Oh, Anonymous, is it already breakfast?"
  57. >The unicorn smiles with her fangs bared and Nightlight scrunches her nose as she peers in
  58. "386, you know the procedure."
  59. >"I do, I do... But, we're friends now! Surely, I don't need the harness."
  60. "If you wish to eat today, you will willingly enter the device."
  61. >She sighs loudly before hopping from her hooves
  62. >"You are so difficult sometimes, Anon."
  63. >You simply point your finger at the restraints and Rosewood complies
  64. >The device is simple enough, it is a metal board with straps to bind a pony's legs and neck in place
  65. >It is of your own design and you find it is incredible for information gathering, especially if you turn the small handle a few times and increase the pressure on the neck
  66. >As Rosewood slips into the harness, you approach and begin to secure the belts
  67. >"This could be kind of romantic, you know?"
  68. >Nightlight does not take the statement well and you wish she would not feed into the attention
  69. >"Shut up, 386. Your foul, traitorous breath is stinking up the room."
  70. >"Pfft, as if, I clean my fangs, you fruit-sucking mango-biter!"
  71. >"Least I'm not in jail for being a traitor!"
  72. >"At least -I- am not freely serving the False Princess!"
  73. >You finally step in with guttural growl
  74. "Enough!"
  75. >The room is suddenly silent and you catch Nightlight looking away from you
  76. >Rosewood seems a bit pleased with herself, but she generally looks to start trouble
  77. >You bring your finger up to her the hungry unicorn's mouth and stop just inches away
  78. "Before we begin, I am curious to know something."
  79. >You see Rosewood's tongue glossing her lips in anticipation
  80. >"I already told you that I will not say where the Queen is or where our hideout is located."
  81. "I remember that much, but, you have very little choice if I so choose to pursue that question. Instead, I am interested in the topic of your propaganda."
  82. >The mare looks at you with widening eyes
  83. >"Propaganda? We have none to speak of."
  84. "This is where you begin to tell me the truth..."
  85. >You rest a hand on the steely wheel and Rosewood looks apprehensive
  86. >"Propaganda? Ok, um... Well, it is a fact that Celestia is a cruel dictator. Everyp0ny knows she hoards resources and distributes them among the nobles first."
  87. "You are not entirely mistaken, but to think that everyp0ny is not given their fair share from their toils is simply foolish."
  88. >"We toil! We toil in the dark places, we farm and work and strive to live. Where is the so called, 'Princess'?"
  89. "The Princess of the Sun watches the daylight, you are a creature of the night."
  90. >"The other, Luna, has never attended to us either! We are not good enough to earn our place in society?"
  91. "You are foul, barbaric creatures who care only for your own and wish to feast and reap from other ponies. Where do you see yourself in the grand scheme of harmony?"
  92. >"We can be at peace and harmony! We know what magic is, we feel just as any other feels!"
  93. "Yet you make your case by assault the castle and threatening the great nation of Equestria?"
  94. >"No, we seek to bring about an age of a new Queen! The Red Queen! She will lead us and she will say what is and is not!"
  95. >You give the wheel upon the device a slight turn and watch as the belts pull tighter
  96. "Do no raise your voice to me, heretic. To believe that order will be without our beloved Princess is a fool's dream."
  97. >"I-it's not... fair."
  98. >Rosewood chokes under your watch
  99. >It is good to show that you care only so much for the prisoner
  100. >Nightlight seems to enjoy when you gag her, so that is always a plus
  101. >You turn the wheel back and stare at Rosewood
  102. >Her cheeks are red and she breathes heavily while staring furiously back to you
  103. "This was an excellent chat."
  104. >"My meal?"
  105. "Have you earned such things as sustenance?"
  106. >"What? I told you what I know! I told you all truths!"
  107. "I am not certain if they were. Nightlight, would you agree her truths are muddled?"
  108. >"Certainly, Sir. Seems she is a little loopy and I would bet it was from too much blood."
  109. >You hear a snickering sort of sound from Nightlight and Rosewood's mouth arches into utter loathing
  110. >"Please! I am so hungry!"
  111. >You spin around and lunge at the device that suspends the weeping pony
  112. >Your hand wraps around her small throat and you feel the heat of life still beating within her
  113. >Her eyes narrow on you for the moment, but despite her rage, a tear freely falls
  114. "I am your only hope of survival and I am the only one who could set you free. I can just as easily end you here."
  115. >Death is an interesting sort of promise to make, you ponder
  116. >Rosewood's throat swallows around your clenching fist and you feel her words wobble from her
  117. "I... I am sorry... I'll cooperate. P-please..."
  118. >You feel the room grow a degree or so cooler and realize that Nightlight has backed away from you
  119. >She stands a bit to one side of you as you choke Rosewood and you have the strangest feeling that you have upset her again
  120. >You want to explain this is part of the act, that you are not really going to kill this mare
  121. >It would ruin the charade, however, and duty must come first
  122. "Excellent to hear..."
  123. >Your hand slips from her neck and takes on the softer demeanor of feeding time
  124. >You glide your fingers up her chin and rest them on her lips
  125. >Carefully, Rosewood's tongue glides over your digit and she pulls you tenderly towards her awaiting mouth
  126. >A small prick of a sharp fang punctures the new whole and you feel blood drip from you
  127. >At once, Rosewood changes into something more pleasant
  128. >Her eyes soften and round out, her breathing calms, and her body seems to relax
  129. >Nightlight turns her face from you as she hates seeing this
  130. >You are unsure what about this bothers her, but you have vague notions of what it must look like
  131. >While you are simply performing your duties, Nightlight may take it as some form of affection being given to another
  132. >It is hard to say exactly, but she wears her disapproval without shame
  133. >You feed Rosewood for a minute longer until she stops milking your finger with such urgency before pulling it away
  134. >A small popping noise is all that you hear as you do
  135. >The unicorn nay hangs limp and docile on the bindings and you begin to untie her
  136. >It is interesting to find just how a small amount of blood can sate her and you wonder if all Thirsters are like this
  137. >You lift her small frame and lay her on the bed as Nightlight follows closely
  138. >"I... I thank you, Anon. You taste so good... It's really... It's kind of nice."
  139. "Do no get used to it."
  140. >"Will you wait with me here while I fall asleep?"
  141. >This is a shocking question and one not asked before
  142. >Nightlight looks intensely with you, as if trying to plead for you to leave
  143. "It depends... What can you tell me of your numbers?"
  144. >"My people... We're not warlike... We can barely hunt wild game. We're simple farmers most of the time. We have cows we raise and eat. It's just life, you know?"
  145. >You do understand what it is like to crave flesh and blood from time to time
  146. >It must be harder for one such as Rosewood, but you will not give her an inch of charity under these conditions
  147. >It's been harder lately... Livestock started to vanish, we didn't think much of it at first. Sometimes, Timberwolves or Bandersnatches will steal some. Sometimes, they just wise up and escape."
  148. "Has your, 'Queen' been trying to find more food for you?"
  149. >"Yes... I think so... She has told the most dedicated to help look for something to eat. I didn't like the alternative."
  150. >A melancholy expression grips Rosewood's face as you sit down on the bed beside her form
  151. "What was the alternative?"
  152. >Rosewood looks away from you and Nightlight with her hooves clinging to her chest
  153. >"The Queen suggested we raid a nearby settlement. We could take whatever they had and..."
  154. >She is silent for the moment, but you stroke her mane down once with your hand
  155. >Rosewood does not know how to react to the pet at first
  156. >"She said to steal the weak or young..."
  157. >This act of violent pillaging is not unheard of you to you, but to hear that anyp0ny, queen or otherwise, would suggest that makes you concerned
  158. >Nightlight suddenly shouts and you turn your head
  159. >"That's disgusting! How could you listen? That's just horrible!"
  160. "At ease, Sentry..."
  161. >You stare to Nightlight as he eyes fill with tears
  162. >If she cries, you will have to suspend her from these trips
  163. "386, we bid you farewell for now. We shall return later on. Do take care of yourself in the meantime."
  164. >You hurry Nightlight along and seal up the prison once more
  165. >As you leave, all eyes are upon you as the guards follow you carefully
  166. >There has been more rumors going around these days and you wish there was a source that you could impale
  167. >Sadly, it is never so simple
  168. >Nightlight and you exit into the cool air for the second time that night and you stretch out
  169. "I think that went well. If you would, please do not..."
  170. >"Shut up."
  171. >You turn your head with a sharp twist as you stare to Nightlight
  172. "Pardon me?"
  173. >"I need to go get some air..."
  174. >Nightlight walks off in some direction and you watch her leave
  175. >You find it impossible to call her back
  176. >It is strange, you think, that you just don't have the right words for this moment
  177.  
  178. >On a dusty path under a watchful moon
  179. >Be Nightlight the Wounded
  180. >You storm off from Anonymous as you walk in no particular direction
  181. >Rosewood, the prisoner, makes you furious every time you meet her
  182. >She always says something foul or horrible and she always gets fed despite what Anon says
  183. >You think of Anon again and get even angrier
  184. >You plod on and stomp your hooves into the stone floor with loud thumps
  185. >The combat square appears ahead of you and you hear the clank of metal and whoomp of sticks echoing into the distance
  186. >You ruffle your wings and quickly lift yourself to the sky
  187. >It has been quite a while since you have just flown around, Anon does not fly, so you usually walk
  188. >Tonight, you move on swift beats at a phenomenal speed towards your destination
  189. >Arriving quickly, you see the arena is living with a few guards training either on dummies or with each other
  190. >A few are sparring with incredible hoof to hoof action and others are practicing their stab and slash
  191. >You enter with your head held high and think about partaking in some extracurricular combat when the noise subsides
  192. >As you look around, you see that the other combatants are lowering their weapons or moving further away from you
  193. >You attempt to break the ice
  194. "Hello, everyp0ny! Anyp0ny up for some dueling?"
  195. >Your smile slowly slips away as the other guards mutter amongst themselves
  196. >Finally, a larger mare in beautiful armor approaches you with a scowl
  197. >"You're that one that's with the Destroyer."
  198. "What? Oh, you mean, Anonymous?"
  199. >"Whatever name the Princess has given him doesn't matter. We know what he is and what he does and we all know that you're his."
  200. "What are you saying? I'm not -his-! And I'm a night guard, just like you!"
  201. >The large mare laughs at you before shaking her head
  202. >"Like us? I do not think you realize what it means to be under the Destroyer. You aren't trained like us, you aren't fed like us, and you certainly don't spend time with anyp0ny else."
  203. "I am easily as well trained!"
  204. >"Oh, I don't mean that. The Destroyer won't just teach you to fight, he'll teach you to kill. I don't think anyp0ny here would want to fight you for fear of being crippled."
  205. >You would never hurt your fellow pony, you know this to be true
  206. >"And it is no secret that he's mark you."
  207. >The mare trots around you slowly and you feel a hoof poke at your neck and flank
  208. >"Look at those marks! He's bitten you up like the animal he is and you let him. That's pretty sick."
  209. >A terrible feeling grips you as you listen to the condescending mare
  210. "That's not true! Anon has been the best mentor I have ever had!"
  211. >She lays another hoof on your flank and you get angry
  212. >With a quick and fluid maneuver, you catch the mare by her front leg, flip your wing under her chest and knock her onto her back
  213. >She makes a great thud in the dirt floor and you stand atop as the victor
  214. >The rush of the fighting boils into you and you roar as best you can
  215. >Another guard looks on and runs to one corner while another two shake in place
  216. >Only one steps up to you and it is to ask you to kindly let her friend go
  217. >The large mare stands up again and looks to you
  218. >Her side is bruised and she pants slightly as she talks
  219. >"That's... That's typical..."
  220. "You asked for it! I didn't give you permission to prod me!"
  221. >She spits and looks down upon you
  222. >"Get out of here, Nightlight. You're not welcome to..."
  223. >The mare backs up suddenly from you with fear in her eyes
  224. >You were scowling, but you had no idea you were so scary
  225. >A shadow casts over you quickly and you turn around to see Anonymous
  226. >He wears some grim expression on his face as he looks to you
  227. >"Hello, Nightlight. Are you having fun with these ponies?"
  228. >You nod slightly
  229. >He points to the hurt mare before you
  230. >"Did you cause that?"
  231. >You nod again silently
  232. >"Excellent, she is twice your weight and well over your height."
  233. >The mare grits her teeth and speaks quickly
  234. >"What are you doing here?"
  235. >"I came to find my friend."
  236. >You look up at Anon as the moonlight shimmers off his furless, human skin
  237. >"I want to apologize to you, Nightlight. I have been neglectful as of late."
  238. "N-no, it's fine, Anon. I know it's been hard..."
  239. >You are suddenly gripped and pulled towards him
  240. >"It is far from fine, my dear Nightlight. You are my world."
  241. >You feel your heart thump at his words, but you are still unsure
  242. >These past few days have been stressful and lonely
  243. >As you are pulled to Anon's chest, you have a brief moment of peace wash over you
  244. >This feels so right, you think
  245. "It's alright, Anon, I still love you."
  246. >"I love you as well, Night."
  247. >Anon looks over your shoulder to see some guards still looking on
  248. >"Did you come here to spar?"
  249. "I thought it would help all this tension."
  250. >Anon gently sets you to your hooves and you look to him
  251. >"Would you care to dance with me?"
  252. >A guard rushes outside with an interesting look on his face as Anon removes his sandals
  253. >You nod to him and smile as he raises his hands and balls his fists
  254. >The ground livens up with energy around the arena as a few more guards appear
  255. >You take your stance and announce the start
  256. >Anon leaps from one leg at you as you feint to the left and roll right
  257. >"Excellent, but stay on your hooves..."
  258. >From Anon's fallen position, he spins quickly and sweeps his legs around
  259. >You just barely avoid him as you take flight
  260. >He leaps straight from the ground and catches your hind leg in his hand
  261. >Pulling you to the ground, you land on your back and shake your head
  262. >You move just in time to avoid Anon's foot and kick up with both your hooves
  263. >It sinks squarely into Anon's gut and he falls back for the moment
  264. >The crowd that has gather begins cheering for you and even some for Anon
  265. >Each deft movement from the two of you looks like choreography from a fine play
  266. >It takes a good deal of time, but you two eventually tire down
  267. >Anon's arm sweeps around and clocks you in the side as your front hoof bashes into his shoulder
  268. >Sore and bruised, you both breathe heavily for the moment
  269. >There is a strange hunger in Anon's eye as he closes in
  270. >You swing hard, but Anon catches your hoof and presses his body into you
  271. >With a swift motion, you feel arms entangle around your waist and you are pulled in
  272. >Hot breath washes over your muzzle as two glimmer eyes shine with ferocity in the moonlight
  273. >The fight is concluded as Anon's face pushes into your own and a hot tongue slips between your teeth
  274. >You do not end the tongue wrestling for a few moments as your mind is ravished by lust and your body aches with exhaustion
  275. >When you do pull apart again, the arena is as silent as when you had entered, but the expressions of other ponies are rather unique
  276. >Whispers fill the crowd as Anon holds you tightly and he tells you again what you love to hear
  277. >A sudden audience member screams out across the barren arena
  278. >"She kissed the Destroyer! Wooh!"
  279. >The cheering starts anew, but in a silly way and you look to Anon
  280. "We should have a bath tonight..."
  281. >"I would love to."
  282. "Carry me?"
  283. >"Just this time."
  284. >As Anon moves, the crowd opens up around him, all the while cheering you on in your victory
  285. >You finally leave the arena and find your way down the stone road towards your home
  286. >"It was a great fight, wouldn't you agree?"
  287. "Oh, yes, definitely... Anon, is it true I am different because of you?"
  288. >"Yes."
  289. >You gaze at him with a furrowed brow
  290. "What kind of answer is that?"
  291. >"The truth. If you want an expanded answer, I will need you to bandage up my finger and repair the stitches at my side."
  292. >You notice Anon's white shirt has a line of red under his arm and you gasp
  293. "I forgot you had stitches there! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you."
  294. >"It does not hurt, Night."
  295. "You take pain very well..."
  296. >"Correction, I do not feel pain very well. I thank Princess Celestia for that."
  297. "What did she do?"
  298. >"Her magical healing has caused a great deadening of my nerves over the years."
  299. >You stop and think about that for a moment
  300. "Can you feel me when I hug you?"
  301. >"A little... But, that is not important. Being near you brings me this feeling of triumph and that feeling is heavenly."
  302. >Anon stops before the barrack door and opens it slowly
  303. >"You are exceptionally warm, however."
  304. >Stepping in, you feel the coolness of an unattended room and the darkness is so inviting
  305. >You hop from Anon's arms and begin rummaging about for your medical kit
  306. >It looks like you are nearly out of everything and wonder if the medicae ward will give you more
  307. "OK, have a seat on the bed, Anon and take off your shirt."
  308. >He complies in a curiously willing manner and you smile
  309. >His toned body looks so inviting right now, but you have work to do
  310. >You lift the bottle of spray antiseptic and squirt at Anon's finger and side
  311. >A lesser pony would at least wince, Anon just stares blankly with you
  312. >You use a quick adhesive to seal up his finger prick and assess the damage to his sutures
  313. >Two are torn, one could use to be rebound, and you have plenty of thread to work with
  314. "Can you lay on your stomach?"
  315. >Anon simply flops and rolls in place
  316. >You quickly line the needle up in your muzzle and near his body
  317. >He smells like a day of training, mixed with a bit of dust and a hint of his human signature
  318. >You push the delicious scent to one side as you pierce his taut flesh
  319. >It takes you little to pull the skin halves together and you tie the new stitches off with a smart knot
  320. "There you go! Good as new."
  321. >"Thank you, Nightlight..."
  322. >Anon rolls onto his back and your eyes roam over his naked top half
  323. >His muscles glisten with his own perspiration and you see the grooves shine against the dim light
  324. >"You have gotten much better since combat training has begun. I am very pleased with your progress."
  325. >You pack up your kit and look to the lounging form of Anon
  326. "Thanks, you have been a great teacher."
  327. >"So I have been told. Would you like a bath?"
  328. >Your nose traces the smell of the body before you and you lick your lips
  329. "We should get a little dirtier before we clean up."
  330. >Anon smirks and lays his hands behind his head
  331. >"I would agree to such an idea. Do you have anything in particular in mind?"
  332. >You smirk and lick your lips at the meal at your hooves
  333. "I think I'll just -wing- it."
  334. >You unfurl your mighty bat wings and make a lewd gesture with one wing
  335. >Anon looks a little surprised with your display, but you feel really comfortable tonight
  336. >"We have three hours time..."
  337. >He chuckles to you
  338. "Remember that thing you did last time? The thing with your tongue?"
  339. >"Of course, did you really enjoy that so much?"
  340. "Silly Anon, asking questions you already know the answers too."
  341. >You climb onto Anon's body and rest your backside towards him
  342. >As his hands grip you, you ready for the feeling of his loving embrace
  343. >Surprisingly, he opens with a question
  344. >"Nightlight... Did I leave all these marks on you?"
  345. "Yes, I think you were a little rougher last night than usual."
  346. >"I apologize if I had hurt you..."
  347. >You crane your neck back and assure Anon
  348. "If it hurt, I would stop you."
  349. >Anon nods slowly and pets your thighs with his dull nails
  350. >The feeling is so nice that you can only relax your leg
  351. >"You have smelled very different over the last few days. I will freely admit that is drives me a little wild."
  352. >You don't think that you've changed in anyway, at least not in smell
  353. "Not sure, but there's -bigger- things to attend to..."
  354. >You snicker as you ears bounce around and you press your hooves into Anon's pants
  355. >His warmth is inviting and you happily sniff at his scent
  356. >Though he is not particularly furry aside from his mane, he has a few patches of coarse hair around his body
  357. >You sometimes admire the little fuzz and wonder why it is there
  358. >Tonight is not one of those moments, however, and you quickly bring your favorite tool out into the open
  359. >It looks so good tonight with its rigid skin and thick central vein
  360. >You admire the perfect example of maleness in your hooves and decide Anon has waited long enough
  361. >He is the first to grab you and pull you up his body
  362. >You watch his maleness slide from you as your hips snuggly lock around Anon's head and his thick tongue caressing your burning body
  363. >He works enthusiastically on your receptive mare bits as if trying to put out your inner fire with his impossibly wet mouth
  364. >In your throes, you twist in Anon's strong hands and drool onto his stomach
  365. >A sudden, loud rapping sound rings into your dark room and you grow both desperate and irritated
  366. >Anon stops and you feel the amazing tongue recede from you and the body below you shift
  367. >"Are you expecting guests?"
  368. >You shake your head and Anon draws his pants up
  369. >He rushes to the door and casts it open
  370. >You peak your head from around the bed and mutter angry words to yourself
  371. >It better be somep0ny on fire or you'll be so...
  372. >Princess Celestia steps in on gilded hooves and you could slap yourself for almost saying something rude
  373. >"Dearest Princess, what brings you to our humble barracks this late?"
  374. >"I come to speak to you tonight, Anonymous. We have not spoke in a very long time."
  375. >She turns her head to see you on the bed and you are pinned in her large eyes
  376. >"Good evening, Nightlight."
  377. >You nod with a shaky voice
  378. "Evening, Princess."
  379. >You reach for some blankets and wrap it about your waist out of concern
  380. >She probably already has an idea though
  381. >Celestia looks at you for a moment and then to Anonymous
  382. >"Anonymous, may I speak in front of your apprentice?"
  383. >You are taken aback by the idea of the Princess requesting permission from Anon
  384. >"She is sworn to me; what must be said, may."
  385. >Anon closes the door and Celestia sighs to him
  386. >"We are pleased with the progress thus far. Your methods are certainly working and we are curious to see if you need anything else?"
  387. >Anon looks sternly to the Princess and speaks frankly
  388. >"Is that really what you wished to ask me?"
  389. >Celestia turns her nose from him and you swear you see a hint of blush on her face
  390. >"There was another concern of mine. Are you... You probably are. I am sorry for bothering you."
  391. >You have the strangest sense that something peculiar is happening here
  392. >Celestia turns to leave as Anon reaches his hand out
  393. >He grips the side of Celestia and spins her towards him
  394. >You do not know what is happening, but you are deeply concerned
  395. >Anon brings the Princess to him and you realize they stand at about equal heights
  396. >"This is a difficult time, I understand."
  397. >Your lover holds the Princess as if she were a foal and you watch her nuzzle into his shoulder
  398. >"Anonymous..."
  399. >Their faces near each other now and your eyes go wide
  400. "A-Anon... What's going on?"
  401. >Celestia quickly withdraws from his embrace
  402. >"No, Anonymous, you have other duties to attend to... Forgive me, I was acting selfishly. Good evening."
  403. >"It is not your fault..."
  404. >Celestia looks to you again before sulking
  405. >Her lustrous mane does not seem to have the usual shades of magnificence as she walks from the doorway
  406. >As it closes, you look to Anon
  407. >He seems to shiver with some kind of guilt and his eyes look so much gentler now
  408. "What was that about? Did you almost kiss the Princess?"
  409. >"Nightlight, you love me, correct?"
  410. "Yes, without doubt."
  411. >"If I told you that I am not a creature of my own will, would you believe me?"
  412. "I would if that made any sense to me."
  413. >"It is not easy to explain, but know that I am older than I appear and my history is extensive."
  414. >You think about it for the moment and realize you don't know how Anon ages
  415. "Like, what, ten years? I don't mind if you're..."
  416. >"Nightlight, I am 700."
  417. >You look at him with a funny sort of expression
  418. "Is that old for you?"
  419. >Anon simply smiles and holds you tightly
  420. >You must have said the right thing after all!
  421. "Wait, I just thought of something. With how the Princess looked at you, would you have given her a kiss if she asked?"
  422. >"Yes."
  423. "Even with me sitting right here?"
  424. >"Yes, again."
  425. "You're so honest, Anon. It's kind of weird, but I love that about you."
  426. >"I hope this does not strain our personal relationship. The Princess has often used me for a source of relief."
  427. "Whoa, really?"
  428. >"Yes, I have often been required to brush the royal mane for 1.000 strokes or accompany the Princess to bathe."
  429. >You blush as you think about your current baths with Anon
  430. "Have you... Well, this is weird, but, did you and Princess Celestia do -it-?"
  431. >Anon looks to you with a small smile and wide eyes
  432. >"Not once..."
  433. "Oh, well, that is a..."
  434. >"... Yet, she has had me assist her with such activities."
  435. >You look at Anon with a very skeptical grin
  436. "I bet she twisted your tail on that one!"
  437. >You grin and giggle at Anon, though he doesn't return the gesture
  438. >Instead, he suddenly grabs your tail and pulls it up
  439. >You feel your nethers uncover and you twitch a bit
  440. "What are you up to now?"
  441. >"Enjoying the look set on your face."
  442. "I love you, Anon, I don't care if your old or whatever."
  443. >"It is good to be loved by you, Nightlight."
  444. >He kisses your forehead and your ears twitch happily
  445. "Hey, I'm still good to go if you are."
  446. >You whisper to Anon as you stare up his chin
  447. >"Then I must perform to the fullest extent of my ability!"
  448. >Anon lifts you up with great ease and spins you around
  449. "Anon, wait!"
  450. >He freezes in place as he listens
  451. "Don't answer the door until -I- done this time. I thought I was going to explode..."
  452. >"Sometimes, you are very domineering."
  453. "I think you like when I try to take charge."
  454. >Anon bobs his head as his breath brushes against your rump
  455. >"I think you may be correct..."
  456. >Without another comment, you get to feel the lovely, velvety tongue once again
  457. >The night cannot last forever, you know it to be true
  458. >But, love... Love cares not for such simple rules
