>"Wake up!"
>A kick to your head forces you from your peaceful slumber.
>As the haze of concisions fades, you notice a white stallion outfitted in gold armor standing to your side.
>"Get up, and don't try anything."
>You slowly lift yourself from the makeshift bed of straw and step onto the cold stone floor.
>A second, black stallion unhooks your restraints from the floor and secures them to the first stallion's armor.
>After checking to make sure the chains are secure, the stallions begin to walk, forcing you to follow.
"Where exactly are we going?"
>…
>They're not very talkative.
>You eventually arrive at a heavy metal door.
>Blood accents the rusted sides, making it look like the entrance to a dungeon, or something of similar nature.
>The black stallion opens the door and the white one escorts you in.
>You weren't wrong about the dungeon idea.
>If the blood on the door was just an accent, here it was the entire base color.
>Almost every stone looks like blood had dried on it before it was haphazardly rinsed off with water without soap.
>The chamber feels almost other worldly.
>Your chains are pulled abruptly, forcing you to continue moving.
>The stallions stop in front of a giant ring and begin to attach your manacles to the device.
>It's almost laughable how small the device is.
>Sure your limbs are held at an odd angle, but you are far from being stretched or anything.
>To be fair, you are very large compared to what the architect had in mind.
>Once your chains are fastened, the black stallion retires from the room, leaving the white stallion guarding you.
>After what seems like ages (all attempts at sparking conversation with your jailer proved fruitless) the metal door creaks open again.
>You turn your head and see a white unicorn…
>No, pegasus…
>Your mouth falls open as you recognize the form of Celestia descending the stairs.
>Something was off about her though.
>Like Luna before, she seemed smaller, and her mane was no longer a rainbow tinted, intangible object.
>Her mane was now a solid shade of pink, and was barely long enough to reach pass her face.
>As for her size… she was still larger than the stallions who had brought you here, but no where near what her size was before.
>The sun princess takes her position in front of you.
>In a booming voice, she begins her interrogation.
>"WHO ARE YOU?"
>You wince as her voice collides with you.
>This again?
"Princess, you know who I am. I'm the only human in all of Equestria."
>Celestia regards your answer before continuing with her questions.
>"A HUMAN? WE HAVE NOT HEARD OF THEM BEFORE. TELL US ABOUT YOURSELVES."
>Is this some kind of sick joke?
>You stare at Celestia as you reply.
"Princess, I have already discussed these matters with you."
>She looks confused.
>"LIES. WE HAVE NEVER HEARD SUCH STORIES."
>This is beginning to annoy you.
"Yes, you have. I explained myself to you when I first came to Equestria."
>"IMPOSSIBLE, WE WOULD RECALL HAVING CONVERSED WITH SUCH A CREATURE AS YOURSELF."
"Maybe if your precious student was here, you'd recognize me."
>Celestia's eyes grow wide.
>"STUDENT?! CAN YOU ELABORATE ON THIS?"
"CAN… YOU STOP… YELLING?"
>Your insolence earns you a hoof in your gut.
>Oh hello Silver Spoonies, when did you show up?
>You manage to keep your breakfast down as you look back towards the princess.
>She motions for the guards to leave.
>As you hear the door screech shut, Celestia turns to you.
>Her smile is terror itself.
>She approaches you and speaks in a normal voice.
>"I enjoy prisoners like you."
>She places her head next to yours and whispers into your hear.
>"I can be a rough as I want with you and nobody cares."
>Rough?
>Your internal questions are answered by Celestia biting your neck.
>At first, it's almost pleasurable, but soon you feel her clamp down on your throat.
>Your esophagus strains to pull air through as Celestia's teeth dig deeper into your skin.
>You feel a trickle of blood slide down your neck.
>Celestia pulls away and licks her lips.
>Her horn glows a soft yellow as she levitates a heated fire iron.
>The flaring tip is reflected in her eyes, giving them a demonic glow.
>She's trying to intimidate you.
>Celestia's good, she's had one thousand years to perfect her "Crazy Sadist" role.
>Biting is one thing, but she would never actually use something like *that*.
>Having grown bored with the heated prod, Celestia approaches you again.
>"Now, one more time. What did you mean by 'Student', hmm?"
"I'm not playing your-"
*Ssssssssssssss*
>Your mind realizes what the sound is before your nerves bombard it with pain.
>You let out a bloodcurdling scream as Celestia slowly drives the poker into your stomach, twisting it slightly as it moves deeper.
>About a half-inch in, she stops and unhurriedly removes the prod, placing it back in the fire.
>Steam rises from the cauterized wound.
>The sadistic sovereign steps forward for a third time.
>"How about now? Will you play with me?"
>She licks your neck as you try to retain control of your thoughts.
>You look down at the fresh injury on your stomach.
>The skin hadn't been penetrated, but it was severely burned.
>"Of course, I could read your mind to get the information I want… But that's no fun."
>Celestia places her hoof on the burn and twists.
"Hng-"
>You try to suppress a scream.
>The princess leans to your ear again.
>"I'll break you eventually, you know."
>She tongues your ear as she continues to prod your wound.
"You- hng- You'll kill me be- hng- fore you- hng- break me."
>"Really~?"
>Celestia looses a spell on you.
>As the yellow aura washes over you, it congeals and flows into your burn.
>Pain floods your abdomen as your incinerated flesh rejuvenates, leaving no indication that you had ever been harmed.
*Gasp* *Gasp*
>You manage to stay conscious, but it was an ordeal.
>Your head hangs limply to the side, giving you a partial view of Celestia.
>She is now standing near the fire pit, stoking the flames with the same fire iron she had used on you.
>No time is wasted this session.
>There was no cooling period as she stared into the soft radiance of the stoker.
>It simply moved from the inferno to you.
*Ssssssssssssss*
"Ahhhhhhhhhh!"
>Your skin gives way under the pressure and heat, letting the prod slide a full three inches into your gut.
>It feels like you are being cooked from the inside.
>The sharp twisting motion being made burns your insides as blood turns to steam.
>This was not a fight you could win.
*Ssssssssssssss*
"Ahhhhh- All right!"
>Celestia stops twisting and begins to slowly extract the prod.
"I'll… talk."
>"Not so unbreakable now, are we?"
>No, you could have lasted longer. But for what reason? There was nothing to be gained by being roasted alive.
>You can't let her have a total victory, though.
"But not… to you."
>Celestia raises an eyebrow.
>"Then whom do you have in mind?"
"Luna. I'll talk to Luna, and only her."
>Celestia grins and places the fire iron back in the pit.
>"Very well. But I do so hate rushing these things… I'll just have a little more fun before I run off to fetch my little sister."
>Another healing spell revitalizes your body and fills you with agony.
>The white alicorn levitates a knife and holds it over the flames.
>You can see the blade begin to glow with heat as Celestia turns it, ensuring a superheated instrument.
>As she pulls it from the blaze, it glows white.
>Then she is upon you.
 
>You are Luna, young mistress of the moon.
>You lay on your bed, recovering from the wounds you had obtained when attempting to read that creature's mind.
>A peculiar ring was brought to you when the creature was examined.
>It had some kind of enchantment on it that blocked mind-altering spells of any kind.
>Difficult magic for any to perform.
>But what had disturbed you about the ring was the magic signature it bore.
>It was-
>Your thoughts are interrupted by a knocking at your chamber doors.
"Enter."
>A white unicorn walks in, bearing some kind of mechanical cutie mark.
>He bows to you as he introduces himself.
>"Greetings your majesty, I am Theos, one of Canterlot's head librarians."
>He raises his head and smiles at you.
>"Please, call me Theo, the 's' makes it sound odd to me."
"Tell us, Librarian Theos, for what purpose do you disturb our rest?"
>The unicorn purses his lips when he hears his full name spoken, but he responds promptly.
>"Your sister, Princess Celestia, has sent for you…"
>You can hear him mutter under his breath.
>"Though why she sent me is a mystery…"
"And where did our dear sister wish for us to meet?"
>Theos looks away.
>"The… interrogation room, milady."
>That room… You hated it there.
>It always smelled of blood and fear.
"Very well. We shall journey to the dungeon immediately."
>Theos bows and exits.
>In short order you leave to visit the torture chamb- interrogation room…
 
>You are Anon, and you are in pain.
>Celestia has left you dangling from the rack, no doubt she did not wish for Luna to see her torturing you.
>As she ascended the stairs to leave, you could see fluids dripping from behind her tail and trailing on the ground.
>That monster had been getting off abusing you.
>You look down at your perfectly normal torso.
>How many times had she almost killed you?
>Knives, prods, brands, she had used anything that she could stick in a fire on you.
>Though the wounds were gone, your mind still remembered the feeling of flesh being cut and singed simultaneously.
>The metal door opened, filling the chamber with light for a brief moment before falling back into darkness.
>You raise your head to see Luna descending into the room.
>She stops when she sees you.
>"Our sister informs us that we are to interrogate you."
>You manage a grin.
"No- no need. I just wanted to talk to someone who wasn't trying to turn me into a shish kebab."
>Luna appears confused.
>"Shish… Ka-- bob?"
>She wouldn't know what those are, would she?
"Nevermind. Luna, I have a question I would like to ask."
>The princess regains her stoic look.
>"Very well, ask it."
"Who is Celestia's current student?"
>Confusion crosses the princess visage.
>"Student? Our sister has no pupil under her tutelage."
>Odd.
"One more, if I may. Who is the current bearer of the Element of Magic?"
>Luna eyes you cautiously as she speaks.
>"You know of the Elements?"
>You nod.
>"…"
>"It is our sister, Celestia."
>No student.
>Smaller statures.
>Celestia possessing the Element of Magic.
>This is the past.
>You must have been dropped here by the idiotic Elements of Harmony.
>What had happened to them though? They too had been caught in that Kubrick Sphere, as you so affectionately call it.
>Given the universe's apparent hatred of you, however, you doubt that it was that easy to escape Fluttershy.
>One more test, to be sure.
"Princess, does 'Nightmare Moon' mean anything to you?"
>Luna stares at you blankly.
"I'll take that as a no. Thank you princess, a lot of my questions have been answered from this conversation."
>"Hold, creature of the lake. We-"
"Anon."
>"Wh- what?"
>Luna deflates a little at your interruption.
"My name is Anonymous, Anon for short."
>The sapphire princess studies you momentarily before resuming her question.
>"Very well, Anonymous. We would like to know how you obtained this."
>She levitates a silver ring to you.
>The mind-rape repelling band!
"Where I come from, there was a particularly troublesome mare who quested for my…"
>You look away.
"Seed. In my desperation, I managed to procure a ring that would prevent my mind from being altered."
>"Thou liest."
"What?"
>Luna walks over to you and holds the ring up again.
>"This magic is ours, only we have this signature."
>Really? Luna enchanted that ring?
>This isn't good.
>How could you possibly explain that you were from the future?
>Luna eases off when she sees you sweat.
>Apparently, she's not as confrontational as her sister.
>"Eh hem, we would also like to revisit our discussion earlier."
>You look at Luna as you angle your head in puzzlement.
>"What did you hear us say?"
>She looks nervously at you, like have read her diary and are about to tell the whole world its contents.
*Sigh* "I am aware of your plight with Celestia, princess."
>Luna attempts to deny her earlier statements.
>"W- we do not-"
"It's not fair, being outshone by the sun."
>You stare directly at her.
>Not to intimidate her, but to show that you understand.
>You know the feeling of being in someone's shadow.
>Luna lowers her head, preventing you from seeing her eyes.
>"She's just so perfect. Everyp0ny lo~ves the princess of the sun."
>You see a drop of water fall to the floor.
>"None are ever awake to see my beautiful night."
>You try to place a reassuring hand on her shoulder, but the bindings stop you from even moving.
"The greatest achievements are the ones that go unnoticed."
>Luna looks up at you, trying her best to hold back tears.
>"What?"
"We stand in the shadows so that others may stand in the light. Our accomplishments go unrecognized, not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless."
>Luna stares at you, transfixed on your words.
"There are none who can imagine the world without your night, that is why they do not even dwell on such matters."
>A small smile has appeared on the princess's face.
>"So they love me without even realizing it?"
>You smile warmly at her.
"Yes."
>She sniffles and begins to cry.
>"I- I AM loved…"
>The moon princess takes a moment to compose herself before leaving.
>"Anonymous, We cannot release you without first discussing the matter with our sister. However, we will visit you during your imprisonment to help pass the time."
>Not what you were hoping for, but it will have to do for now.
>As she leaves, Luna gives you one last gentle smile before exiting the chamber.
 
>You hang in the dark for what seems like an eternity before light filters into the room from above again.
>Celestia canters down the stairs.
>She looks furious.
>"I don't know what you told my sister, but it seems I will no longer be able to keep you as my plaything after today."
>Her horn shines as she approaches you.
>"But that still leaves us all of tonight for me to have some fun…"
>She scoops up whole shelves of metal objects and dumps them into the fire pit.
"A sun goddess with a fetish for fire… Heh, should have known…"
>Celestia smiles as she positions her face in front of yours.
>Her magic forces your mouth open as she nears.
>She stops short of kissing you and you can see a small chunk of super heated metal about the size of two bits float from the fire.
>"Now, now my pet. There's no need to be so..."
>She places the heated lump of metal on her tongue.
>"Tungue an' 'heek."
>With that, she forces her tongue into your mouth.
>The metal burns your tongue as Celestia forces herself onto you.
>She pushes it to the back of your throat and keeps her mouth to yours, preventing you from spitting it out or screaming.
>As your tongue spasms in a futile effort to escape the heat, Celestia's tongue forces it into submission.
>She wanted you to feel the full effects of her wrath.
>After a few moments, she removes the metal from your mouth.
>It is a dim shade of dark red at this point.
>She casts another healing spell on you.
>"So, my pet. Any more insults?"
>You remain quiet and stare into the ground.
>"Silence is Golden, as they say."
>She wraps her lips around the metal and sucks it clean.
>It was solid gold.
>This is going right in my… 'Private' collection.
>She levitates it behind her back, so you can no longer see it.
>But you know what she's doing.
>A soft *squelch* confirms your beliefs.
>Celestia's eyes roll to the back of her head momentarily as her fluids splatter onto the floor.
>With her tongue lolling from her mouth, Celestia speaks.
>"Oh yes~"
>This is disgusting.
>The sun princess snaps back to reality and trots over to you.
>"All of tonight~"
>You ready yourself as she levitates several heated devices.
>Your screams are heard echoing though the torture chamber for the rest of the night.
