~An Affinity With the Sun~ {Act I} [Chapter VI] |Solar Winds| ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   >Your day with her is pleasant beyond belief >You feel like you can actually get used to this new life >Woah Anon, careful, remember what she did to you >Your personal vendetta cannot be so easily forgotten >But now, as you sit here with her at sunset, you can't help but feel increasingly more guilty >She took everything from you, but would you be able to take everything from her? >The sun you so much enjoyed now sinks into the west >Along with your hatred for this mare "It's night, we should probably head in." >"The night never comes when you're around, my sunshine." >She giggles and leads the way into the castle >You hesitate to follow, but in doing so you feel your heart tug your body toward her so you follow in her stead >You stroll through the halls of Canterlot >Wishing goodnight to all of the servants you pass by >A particular pony stands out however >She's tall, dark, and broody >"Goodnight Luna. I trust Night Court has yet to start?" >Luna glances in your direction, her icy cold gaze freezes you over >"Nay sister, we have yet to begin. We have heard that thou art married. Why is it that we have yet to meet your claimed husband?" >Her stare never leaves you >She either immediately hates you, or very protective of her sister >You decide to go with the latter >"Ah yes, sorry. It was such short notice I didn't exactly get the chance to show him off did I?. Anon, this is my sister Luna." >Celestia moves you out in front of her >Putting you directly in front of her sister "Uh, hello princess. Pleasure to meet you." >You extend your hand outward, but gain no response from the Princess of the Night >"Yes. Likewise. Sister, we will not pry into your private affairs, but we do think that your choice in spouses in quite strange. Goodbye." >She trots off in the opposite direction from the two of you >"Oh don't mind her, she's wonderful once you get to know her." "I'm sure."   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   >The both of you retire into your now shared bed >You take the familiar position from the previous night >You stroke your mare's mane >Something that would have repulsed you days ago >you sit in content silence as you both play through the days events >Your mind goes back to the sunrise >That was the moment you confirmed your suspicion >You love this mare >"Anon..?" "Hmm?" >"I was just thinking. Even though we have yet to be married... Would you like to, maybe, make love to me tonight?" >Your heart nearly explodes >And it takes every ounce of will power not to wipe the sweat from your forehead >Okay, keep it together Anon >Keep your eye on the prize, your revenge >This could be it! The perfect moment for your revenge! >But would you really be so cruel to the mare you love? "Celestia, I....think we should wait until we are married. It would be more special that way y'know?" >Celestia hardly hides her disappointment but agrees >"Perhaps waiting awhile longer wouldn't be so terrible. I often longed for the day we could be one with each other. I imagine it's the best feeling in the world." "Imagine?" >"Yes. Honestly, I have yet to been with a stallion. Is that a problem for you?" >It takes you by surprise that this mare who lived over a thousand years has never got any actiom "No! No, not at all...." >Oh boy, the guilt just keeps piling up
