----------------------------------------------
OSTFRIESEN VAULT DESCENT (RED)
----------------------------------------------
Mary hums a bit as she descends a red-lit stone spiral staircase with Gleam, making her way to her secret treasure trove~
Icicle Gleam descends alongside Mary, looking around a bit as the two make their way down the staircase. "So... this is like a private vault for you? I'm guessing Sue has one for herself, as well?"
Mary 's voice echoes with her hoofsteps. "Yep! We both have vaults for the treasure we've claimed on our adventures!"
Icicle Gleam tilts his head and lets out a sound of curiosity. "Ooh, that sounds like a lot of fun to look through. You must have a lot of really neat stuff stashed away in there."
Mary: Although, this stuff definitely isn't here to play with. Some of it is dangerous!
Icicle Gleam nods. "I'll be careful not to touch anything unless you say it's safe, then."
Mary hums. "I do have some other sexy things down here, if you want to check them out later~"
Icicle Gleam smirks a bit as he bumps his shoulder lightly against Mary. "Somehow, I'm not surprised, dear. I wouldn't mind seeing what these things are~"
Mary playfully bumps Gleam back. "At least one of them is the "pin you to the bed for hours" type, but I know we've already got that kind of thing handled~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles and wiggles his eyebrows. "Oh, we most certainly do~"
Mary smiles as she comes to the vault door, an ornate stone slab with a keyhole carved into it.
Icicle Gleam tilts his head as the vault comes into view. "Huh... Lock and key? I'm guessing there's additional, like... magic wards in place, or something?"
Mary hums as the door opens in front of her, without her doing anything. "The keyhole is a fake. It only opens for me, Sis, and the maids~"
Icicle Gleam pauses for a moment as the door starts to open, then laughs. "Well, that's extremely clever, dear."
Mary smiles and walks into the vault, where various artifacts are arranged labelled on shelves, with small magic barriers around each one.
Icicle Gleam trots alongside Mary, taking in the appearances of as many artifacts as he can as he passes by their little alcoves. "Wow, and these are all unique artifacts?"
Mary nods as she pauses for a moment to look at a floating rose with ever-changing petals. "Yep! They're from all over the place, too~"
Icicle Gleam pauses with Mary to check out the rose in question. "So not just Ostfriesian artifacts?"
Mary: Well, unless you consider the portal areas to be part of Ostfriesen too~
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully, then shrugs. "That's a hard one, since so many of the portals go places I've never heard about before..."
Mary comes to a pair of jeweled golden clasps with a thin chain attaching them. "Ah, here it is. Feather-Faller's Wing Clasps!
Icicle Gleam approaches the artifact in question alongside Mary and looks it over. "Wing clasps? These... grant magic use?"
Mary: Mmhm! They reroute your magic circuit so you can use your pegasus magic to do unicorn spells!
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully. "Hmm... Do we know how that will affect my usual use of pegasus magic? Like... I won't suddenly drop out of the sky while flying or anything, right?"
Mary thinks for a second. "Maybe...that's why they called him Feather-Faller? I'm pretty sure you can't fly while wearing them, at least."
Icicle Gleam shrugs and chuckles after a moment. "I guess that's one thing to test before we move onto the more fun exercises~"
Mary picks up the clasps and takes a moment to examin them before making her way back out of the vault. "Alright, this is all we need. We'd better test them outside the vault though~"
Icicle Gleam nods as he turns to follow Mary out. "Yeah, it'd probably better to not have any magical accidents in a vault full of powerful artifacts~"
Mary lets Gleam exit first, as the door closes behind her when she leaves. "Alright! Shall we go to my room~?"
Icicle Gleam grins. "Sounds like the ideal place to practice~"
----------------------------------------------
A Few Minutes Later...
----------------------------------------------
Mary hums as they enter her room. "Okay, here we are~. Are you ready, Dear~?"
Icicle Gleam looks a little nervous, but nods and smiles. "Yeah, I'm ready, dear~"
Mary helps Gleam put the clasps onto his wings once they get a settled in. "And...there we go! How does it feel?"
Icicle Gleam stretches his wings out a little to give Mary space to put the clasps on. Once they both latch into place, he shifts a little as a vague, general ripple seems to roll through his spine. "Hmm... It feels... okay? I don't feel much different than a few seconds ago."
Mary: Hmm...try giving your wings a little flap?
Icicle Gleam gives his wings an experimental flap, blowing a little gust of air around the room as expected.
Mary: Hmm, so not that...try focusing on your wings, like you would when you want to fly really fast!
Icicle Gleam hums and arches an eyebrow for a moment, then nods and shuts his eyes. He spends a few seconds focusing, like he does when he needs to help his team tackle a large storm bank.
Mary monitors Gleam with her own magic, carefully looking for any changes in flow. She keeps quiet and allows him to focus.
Icicle Gleam unconsciously gives his wings a little flutter once he feels he's centered enough for a burst of flight power. The moment his wings shift, he feels a strange surge of... warmth? Heat? Something that flows through his body to the tips of his feathers. The strange sensation is enough to make him break his concentration as he pops his eyes open with a gasp. "W-woah!"
Mary smiles as a few sparks fly from Gleam's feathertips. "There! That was it!"
Icicle Gleam flexes one of his wings and looks towards his feathers. "Th-that was it? That felt so strange!"
Mary: Your feathers are pretty sensitive though, right?
Icicle Gleam nods as he smirks at Mary. "As you well know, dear~"
Mary: Hmm...if you need to focus more naturally, maybe I can give you a special massage~
Icicle Gleam blushes a little. "A... massage? What kind of massage?"
Mary winks. "Just your neck, back, and wings, Dear~. Unless you want me to do even more while I'm back there~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles. "But will it help with the magic, or will it just make us get into bed faster~?"
Mary giggles. "A little bit of both~. Gotta loosen you up for later~"
Icicle Gleam hums and nods as he moves over to the bed. "Well... If you think it'll help with the magic~"
Mary climbs onto the bed as well. "Well...it's kind of like how my horn starts a fireworks show when you lick it~"
Icicle Gleam climbs onto the bed and stretches out, nestling himself amongst Mary's many pillows. "Ahh, I see. You're going to try and stimulate some magic to start the flow~?"
Mary positions herself over Gleam and begins to rub his back with her hooves. "I might play with your feathers a little too~"
Icicle Gleam hums softly as Mary starts to massage his back. "Mmh... Feel free, dear. You know more about this than me~"
Mary starts off with a gentle massage, working her skilled hooves between Gleam's wings. "Just focus on that feeling from before, when you made the sparks. Trust me, you'll get used to it~"
Icicle Gleam nods as he lets his eyes drift shut again. He draws in a deep breath, then slowly lets it out as Mary's hooves gently knead the muscles between his wings. "Alright..."
Mary continues to work her magic for the next few minutes, paying attention to Gleam's feathers. Her hooves wander to the base of Gleam's wings. "Hehe...the muscles back here are pretty strong~"
Icicle Gleam relaxes under Mary's touch, his wings slowly splaying out to either side of him. "That's... from all the flying I do, dear~..." He gives his wings a little flex, and another surge of energy causes a few more sparks to spray from some of his feathers, "Mmh! Th-there it is again..."
Mary chuckles. "Feels good, doesn't it~? Starting to get used to it~?"
Icicle Gleam lets out a sigh as he starts to relax again. "Still feels... a little strange, but... I guess... I'll have to flex and shift my wings to cast spells?"
Mary nods. "Not only that, but you'll need to direct the magic to a purpose. All that stuff will happen in your head~"
Icicle Gleam: So... as long as I focus on what I want to do... I'll cast my spell at it?
Mary focuses her massage on one of Gleam's wings for the moment. "That's the basics of it~. For more complicated things, you may need to "program" some instructions beforehand. The rejuvenation spell, for example~"
Icicle Gleam hums softly. "Programming? That's probably going to be the hard part..."
Mary: It's not so bad! There's a lot of easy shortcuts~
Icicle Gleam: Well... it might be easier with some active training, once I can actually channel my magic.
Mary smirks. "Thinking of trying a few things on me~?"
Icicle Gleam chuckles softly. "It'd be fun, I think~"
Mary blushes and hums. "Say...try picking up that pillow there...with your mind!"
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit and gestures a hoof at the pillow in question. "This one, dear?"
Mary nods. "That one. Use your wings and your willpower~"
Icicle Gleam nods. He focuses his gaze on the pillow, then deliberately flexes his wing and points a feather at it. That same surge of warmth flows through his body, and the pillow is wrapped in a soft cyan glow. With a frown, he tries to lift his wing up in order to lift the pillow. The pillow wobbles against the sheets for a moment, then flops back down as the glow flickers and fades.
Mary watches with interest, slowing her massage for the moment. "Ooh, not bad. Try again~~"
Icicle Gleam spends a few moments just relaxing before he nods again. He focuses on the pillow once more and goes through the same motions. This time, the aura remains in place, but as he tries to lift the pillow up, it instead shoots off of the bed and smacks against the wall.
Mary giggles. "Reign it in a little, Dear~. You can bring that pillow back, or try a different one! Levitation gets harder with distance."
Icicle Gleam hums quietly and nods as he directs his wing towards the pillow on the floor. The aura surrounding the pillow flickers a bit, and it wobbles as it slowly lifts into the air. Try as he might, however, the aura flickers and cuts out, and the pillow drops back to the floor.
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully, then frowns. "Hang on... let me try that again..." He squints a little as he stares at the pillow with an intense gaze. After a few moments, the cyan aura wraps around one of the pillow's corners, and slowly lifts it up into the air.
Mary: Oooh...steady now~...
Icicle Gleam slowly, slowly brings the pillow back over to the bed, and then drops it back onto the pile. He lets out a breath. "Haa... There we go..."
Mary smiles and kisses Gleam on the cheek. "Hehe...you're a pretty quick study~"
Icicle Gleam hums softly and smiles at Mary. "Thank you, dear... That takes a lot of focus, though."
Mary picks up all the pillows on her bed with her magic and rearranges them neatly. "Like anything else, it takes practice! You've already got the hang of it, though~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit. "It helps when you've got a good teacher, of course~"
Mary smiles. "Let's try one more spell...think you can make a vibration aura?"
Icicle Gleam hums and tilts his head. "How would casting that differ from just picking something up?
Mary: You have to tell your magic to shake!
Icicle Gleam arches an eyebrow for a moment. "Um... okay? I can... try?" He pauses, "What's my target?"
Mary smirks. "How about...me~?"
Icicle Gleam blinks in surprise. "Y-you? Are you... are you sure, dear? I mean... you saw what I accidentally did to the pillow, right?"
Mary sticks her tongue out. "Fair enough. How about this, then~?" She opens her nightstand drawer and pulls out one of her toys~
Icicle Gleam tilts his head and smirks. "Let me guess, you want me to try and make that vibrate instead?"
Mary: Mmhm~. I expect you'll be doing this again soon~.
Mary: First try casting your aura, then make it oscillate~
Icicle Gleam hums as he takes a moment to focus, then points his wing at the toy, which is immediately wrapped in a soft blue aura. He stares at it for a second or so, then shrugs to himself as he tries to think the magic into oscillating.
Mary watches with interest, still gently massaging the base of Gleam's wings~
Narrator: The toy starts to move slightly in Mary's hoof with enough force that, if she were to let go, the toy would start thrusting a bit in midair. It seems Gleam doesn't quite have the scope of vibrational movement down quite yet.
Mary chuckles. "Not quite...but you should remember that motion too~"
Icicle Gleam hums as he makes his magic stop moving the toy. "Mmh~... I'll keep it in mind for later, then~" He smirks at Mary, "So... how do I make my magic vibrate, then?"
Mary: Umm...haa, geez, I never really thought about it...
Mary: I guess I...tell my magic to move it two directions at the same time. Like tensing your muscles!
Icicle Gleam rubs as his chin for a moment in thought, then focuses his attention back on the toy one more time. He focuses a little more intensely, his brow furrowing as he tries Mary's suggestion.
Narrator: The toy in Mary's hoof remains wrapped in Gleam's magic aura, but otherwise doesn't do much of anything to start. However, after several seconds, a soft hum can be heard coming from the toy.
Mary: Almost, almost...Ah, what are we missing...
Mary: There's a few ways to get vibration...I don't really have to think about it once I get it started...
Icicle Gleam hums thoughtfully. "Well... I think oscillation is the way to go, but... I think I might not be doing it correctly?"
Mary hums thoughtfully. "Wanna try again, or...you wanna move on to foreplay~?"
Icicle Gleam hums softly. "...Let me try one more time. I want to try and get this down before we get to the really fun stuff~"
Mary: Okay, go for it! Magic aura typically has a natural frequency, so you could try changing that instead!
Icicle Gleam nods as he shifts his gaze back to the toy. He takes a moment to draw a breath, then exhales, and focuses his efforts on trying to make the toy vibrate properly, this time.
Narrator: Like before, the toy is wrapped in Gleam's magic aura, and it sits motionlessly in Mary's grasp. This time, though, after a few quiet seconds, the toy starts to gently vibrate. Gleam squints at the toy, and starts tweaking the direction of his thoughts to try and fine-tune the vibration's intensity.
Mary smiles as the toy buzzes against her hoof. "There we go~"
Icicle Gleam smiles as he does his best to maintain the magic. "Is that how it's done?"
Mary touches the buzzing toy to Gleam's feathers. "Indeed~"
Icicle Gleam tenses as the vibrations from the toy sends a shiver through his spine, and the aura around the toy seems to intensify momentarily as a result. "A-ah!"
Mary giggles. "This is part of your massage too~"
Icicle Gleam squirms under Mary. "W-well... it seems to be working~"
Mary pulls the toy away and warmly embraces Gleam. "Mmm~...your next test...is to caress me all over with your magic~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles a bit as he looks over his shoulder at Mary. "Want me to stand up, then~? I can probably focus better on you that way~"
Mary rolls off Gleam and onto her back. "I'm all yours, dear~"
Icicle Gleam grins as he pushes himself up onto his hooves and turns to look at Mary. He chuckles and gives his sensitive wings a little flex as he thinks of how best to go about it. "So... before I start... since the magic comes from my feathers, does that mean each feather is like a miniature horn, in a way~?"
Mary: Hmm...sort of...but that would make you really horny~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles some more as he wiggles his wings slightly and prepares to fulfill Mary's request. "But isn't that the norm when we're in bed together~?"
Mary: Of course, dear~
Icicle Gleam hums and smiles as he gives his wings a little flutter and directs his feathers at Mary. A few moments pass before she's wrapped in a gentle aura of magic that seems to tingle slightly to the touch~
Mary hums as Gleam's magic glow surrounds her. "Mmm~...it feels nice~"
Icicle Gleam winks playfully as he starts shifting his focus to various parts of Mary's body. Wherever his eyes focus, the magic starts to buzz slightly. "I'm glad you're enjoying it, dear~"
Mary squirms a little, giggling as the magic buzzes against her. "Enjoying the view~?"
Icicle Gleam smirks as he directs his attention slowly down Mary's belly, tracing the buzzing sensation over her soft coat. "I always love the view~"
Mary blushes. "It's like you're tickling me with your feathers~"
Icicle Gleam hums and chuckles. "Maybe I am~" He grins, "I wonder if it'll feel like that when I go lower~?"
Mary smirks. "I'm eager to find out~"
Icicle Gleam gazes at Mary with a smirk as he shifts his focus lower still. The buzzing sensation slides slowly down Mary's belly, over her teats. "Then... let's find out~"
Mary hums warmly, letting her hind legs spread apart as Gleam teases her. "Good so far~~"
Icicle Gleam slides the buzzing sensation lower still, until his focus reaches Mary's nether lips. "And now~?"
Mary gasps and shivers. "Really...really good~"
Icicle Gleam hums as he starts to gesture with his wings just a bit, sliding the vibrating part of his magic up and down against Mary's pussy~
Mary smiles and squirms against the bed even more. "I forgot...how good you are at teasing~~"
Icicle Gleam: Has it really been that long since I've teased you last~?
Mary: N-no, but...I always forget after we screw for a few hours~
Icicle Gleam chuckles as the vibrations seem to intensify just a little against Mary's nether lips and clit. "Lost in passion~~"
Mary bites her lip. "It's easy to forget about the little things~~"
Icicle Gleam smiles saucily as he watches Mary squirming about. "Then... it's good that I can remind you whenever you want it~"
Mary: And now...you can do it at long range~
Icicle Gleam hums. "As long as I'm wearing the clasps, anyway~"
Mary: You'll be...a force to be reckoned with~
Icicle Gleam grins at Mary. "Can you weather my powers, dear~?"
Mary smirks. "Once your training is complete, I won't stand a chance~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles as he continues to tease Mary. "I wonder... what if I tried lifting you up into the air~? Then you'd only be able to squirm~"
Mary chuckles. "Do you think you can pick me up~?"
Icicle Gleam tilts his head a bit. "Well... only one way to find out, right?"
Mary wiggles a bit. "Ready for liftoff~"
Icicle Gleam concentrates as best as he can and tries to carefully lift Mary up off of the bed, like he did with the pillow earlier. "Hmm... Hang on, dear~"
Mary smiles patiently, knowing how difficult it can be to life a pony.
Icicle Gleam furrows his brow a little as he tries to focus a little more on lifting Mary, though she remains firmly on the bed for the moment. "Nnh..."
Mary hums. "I can make myself lighter, if you want~"
Icicle Gleam shakes his head. "Nah, I think I'll work with it like this. That way, you can just sit back and enjoy~"
Mary: I'm fine with that~
Icicle Gleam hums softly as he gives his wings another soft flap, then goes back to trying to lift Mary up. A few seconds pass in silence before he seems to make some progress, as Mary seems to slowly lift away from the sheets~
Mary: Ahh, so magical~~
Icicle Gleam slowly lifts Mary up several inches off of the bed, then lets out a sigh as he keeps her aloft. "Well... if I'm a strong flier~..."
Mary chuckles. "You're doing great, dear~"
Icicle Gleam hums and smiles as he starts shifting his focus back to vibrating his magic against Mary's nethers. "Thank you~"
Mary squirms in the air. "I wondered if you'd lift me all the way up to your mouth~"
Icicle Gleam chuckles. "Maybe later tonight, dear, once I've practiced a bit~"
Mary: You're getting some pretty nice practice right now~
Icicle Gleam smirks. "Only with lifting and vibrations, though~. I haven't practiced sticking anything inside yet~"
Mary blushes. "Why don't we...try that now~?"
Icicle Gleam tilts his head. "Oh? You mean, how to shape magic~?"
Mary: That, or using this toy over here~
Icicle Gleam directs his attention to the toy still in Mary's hoof. "Oh, right, I almost forgot about that~" He chuckles, "You could maybe teach me how to shape magic a little later, once I've gotten the hang of this stuff, first~"
Mary: It's a lot to learn...you're doing great!
Icicle Gleam grins as he gently takes the toy and lifts it up in his magic, then teases Mary by lightly dragging the tip of it against her coat. "Thank you, dear. Let's see if I can make this feel good~"
Mary blushes. "Just do it like you normally would...except with magic~"
Icicle Gleam hums and moves the toy down over Mary, until the tip is positioned just against her pussy lips. "Like I would normally do, hm~?"
Mary smirks and blushes. "You can also...buzz the whole thing with your magic, like I do sometimes~"
Icicle Gleam smirks as he motions a wing and gently pushes the toy into Mary's depths. "Once I've gotten you nice and horny, dear~"
Mary hums warmly as Gleam pushes the toy inside. "I I've been horny...since the massage started~"
Icicle Gleam pushes the toy as deep as it can go, and leaves it there for a few seconds, then he starts making the toy gently thrust in and out. "I'll help you take the edge off, then~"
Mary moans a bit as Gleam pushes the toy deep. "Mmh~...this'll end up getting both of us going~~"
Icicle Gleam hums and nods as he focuses his attention towards pleasing Mary. "Definitely~~"
Mary relaxes as her body hangs in the air, supported by Gleam's magic. "We've got a...good rhythm going~"
Icicle Gleam makes the toy thrusts a little longer, filling Mary a little more completely. As he watches, he finds himself growing more and more aroused, as the magic coursing through his wings make him feel even more sensitive. "A good rhythm, indeed. I almost... can't wait to learn more magic to use on you~~"
Mary: I've got...a book you can practice with~
Icicle Gleam tilts his head curiously. "Oh~? A book of sexy magic~?"
Mary hums. "I helped contribute...with a few of my own spells~"
Icicle Gleam lets out a sound of interest as he starts to thrust the toy a little faster. "Ooh, then I can surprise you with some of your own magic, one day~"
Mary 's breathing becomes a little heavier. "M-maybe...someday soon~"
Icicle Gleam: For now, we'll work with the basics~~
Mary shivers. "The basics...feel really good too~~"
Icicle Gleam shivers in turn as he continues to watch as Mary squirms in midair. In response to his steadily rising arousal, his control over his magic seems to grow more intense, and the toy starts to thrust a little more firmly~
Mary moans a little louder as her body fills with a familiar tingling pleasure. "M-more~! Go faster~~!"
Icicle Gleam smirks and nods as he starts making the toy thrust faster at Mary's request. He hums softly as he watches her squirming about. "How much faster~~?"
Mary arches her back as her pleasure amplifies. "Aaah~~...A-as fast as you want~~"
Icicle Gleam grins roguishly as he quickens the pace of the toy further still, until it reaches a pace that he thinks he and Mary go at during their wildest moments~
Mary 's moans get even louder as she presses her hooves against her loins, imagining Gleam in the toy's place~
