Dealing with Shining Armour

Deep underneath the Castle of Friendship in Ponyville Zecora continued her own daily schedule for her Master. Even if her Master was far away in the Crystal Empire it was her duty as a Zebra slut to maintain and expand his arsenal of potions. . She had cordoned of a lab of sorts in the basement of the castle and had to pump the air safely away. The smell however remained sufficiently thick even through her gas mask. Rows upon rows of cauldrons were brewing and Zecora herself was watching over them with a hawk's eye.

Today however she was experimenting with new potions. These new brews had always ideas she had considered but had always been held back by several factors. Potions that could turn a woman into a bimbo, hair that exploded like the leaves in a tree, or make grow tits that defied gravity, or perhaps turn the most prudish of mares into drooling sluts. Once she had been limited by three factors, morality, funds and the laws of the town. Now though Cadence had taken care of the funds, Mayor Mare had taken care of the laws and Twilight had taken care of her morality. Now she was limited only by her Master's wishes.

As she worked though a message appeared on her scroll, magically enchanted so that she would receive any request from her betters in an instant. Her heart raced as she rushed to pick it up and her instructions.

"Ah I see it is a request from the Crystal Princess, I can almost smell the incense. It seems she has two requests, both of which she hopes her husband will ingest." She noted to herself, before making her way always to respective cauldrons. One was a silky pink that produced bubbles shaped like circles with a cross sticking out the end. To her delight it seemed the gender swapping potion had turned out even better than she hoped for, the man who drank this would become quite the beautiful woman.

She made her way to the second potion she required, this potion was always swirling like a whirlpool, a clear liquid like water. A quick examination with her staff found it thick and cloying with a cloud like fog emitting from it. An amnesia brew, she wondered what perverted games the Princess was playing.

As fast as she could, she scooped the two potions into her bottles and gave them to Starlight. It would be a rush even with teleportation to make it to the Crystal Empire before night fall, but she would have to try.

Shining Armour

Once all the others had packed their bags away they had returned to the main hall for dinner, and it was here that they were beginning to discuss what the Defenders had been summoned for. Shining Armour explained how they had caught one of Chrysalis's changelings who had remained loyal to her despite Thorax's uprising. After interrogation he'd revealed that Chrysalis had opted to team up with Sombra, the later of which had reunited with his old marefriend Radiant Hope, who seemed to have embraced evil completely now.

Sadly he'd had to tell Twilight and her friends that they knew very little else, because the changeling they had caught wasn't trusted with much more. Twilight as was her nature did not seem to be somewhat concerned about this, and was optimistic that they'd be able to find something the next day. For the rest of the evening they'd hung out as friends would, enjoying an evening feast, talking about Twilight's studies, Rarity's fashion. He'd even had a chance to meet up with Starlight who had come to deliver something Twilight had forgotten, it was a shame that Sunburst was taking care of Flurry Heart or they could catch up.

Throughout the entire time he'd kept a close eye on his wife and Spike, and he was starting to relax. He found great relief seeing that throughout the entire evening Cadence seemed to have eyes for only him, Spike meanwhile couldn't help but find his eyes darting between the couple, but Shining Armour suspected he wanted assurance from the Royal Guard. Nothing untoward was happening though, so he shot Spike a comforting smile.

Night however began to fall, and the others made their way to their beds one by one, Cadence headed back first and after a good while before making his own way up the stairs. But when he got up to his room he was surprised, and delighted, to see Cadence waiting for him. It was like she was back to her old insatiable self, dressed in a ruby red corset and garter belt with her nipples covered only by heart shaped plasters.

"Shining dear, it's been a long time since we last fucked. I hope I haven't kept you waiting too long," she purred, holding her hands together at the waist and pressing her luscious pink globes against each other. Shining Armour could feel himself start to drool at the sight.

"I'd ask you the same thing, I know you've never been able to get enough of my huge dick. I can only imagine that you were missing it when you were away," Shining boasted as he undid his trousers and revealed his own sizeable mast. Focused as he was on undoing his pants he missed the brief sneer that flashed across Cadence's face as she compared her husband's dick to her Master's. By the time he looked back up though she had corrected herself and her seductive gentle smile had returned.

"Oh I did miss your little friend very much," she replied, so convincingly that it completely fooled Shining Armour. Cadence took a few steps forward, swaying her ass as she approached, eyes locked on his. "But I also have something I want to try."

"Oh?"

Cadence's horn lit up in a pink glow, and two glasses were brought before him. One a bubby pink, another a thick clear substance. "A gift from Zecora, to help us with the issues we've been having in the bedroom."

Shining recoiled at that comment as if slapped on the face, his eyes became fixed on the ground as he mumbled out an apology. Soft fingers cupped his chin and brought his eyes to meet hers. "Don't be ashamed love, no pony can really satisfy me."

There was a stiffness to her voice that implied a lie of some kind, and Shining feared that she was referring to a certain dragon that might be able to bring her the pleasure he could not. He opted to not bring it up however. "So what exactly have you got there?"

"Potions," she explained grabbing one in each hand.

"This one," she said gesturing to the clear potion, "will let you cum ten more times tonight.

"And this one," she explained, holding up the bubbly potion, "will let you keep going ten times longer tonight. With both of them do you think you'll be able do quite a number on me don't you think?"

Shining eyed the potions suspiciously, it sounded too good to be true, but what did he have to lose. Zecora was after all a trusted friend of Twilight, "let's give it a shot."

His wife's smile almost became that of a slasher smile, before handing over the bubbly drink. "This one first dear."

Nervously Shining Armour gulped it down, it burned his throat has he drank, like some kind of spicy soda. When he drank it he could feel his insides begin to boil and his skin start to crawl but he could certainly feel a new energy fill him, it wasn't necessarily sexual energy however it was something else.

"Don't forget the other drink, they're meant to work together after all," Cadence reminded him handing him the clear drink. She was so giddy now, hopping on her feet in anticipation. When he drunk this one it was like drinking a thick creamy milk, but when he drank it instead of going to his dick it went to his head. He suddenly felt lightheaded, stumbling backwards and nearly tripping as his proportions felt different.

"Ca-Cadence something's wrong," he gasped, but then he clutched his throat as his voice was much higher pitched then it should be. He could feel his mind trickling like water, as if draining away. To his horror however his wife was still smiling, nearly laughing and not sympathetic.

"Oh I think this working perfectly, we should probably get you into some better clothes," she said, channeling a blue magic into her horn and replacing Shining's clothes.

"What-what are you doing?"

"My duty, to my Master," she said with an evil smile, summoning a mirror in front of him. "Well aren't you a cute girl?"

In a panic Shining roamed his hands over her body, her penis was gone replaced with a small slit. Her hair had grown into a girly ponytail, her skin had changed from rough to smooth and soft whilst her muscles changed to something much more feminine. Most surprising of all were the sizeable but not immense breasts growing on her chest, the changes hadn't stopped but there was one unmistakable fact. "I'm a girl?"

"Yes you are a girl remember?"

"Remember?" She clutched her head, it felt foggy and faint, "I don't remember anything? My mind's a blank, not even a name."

Cadence smiled, this was what she wanted. Her husband was a blank slate for tonight, free for her to rewrite. As Zecora had said in a letter with the potions any suggestion or memory she implanted now would be accepted as true as her new reality. She would eventually remember everything she did as Shining Armour, but not as a memory but rather as knowledge, like how Cadence would perceive an event in a newspaper. But anything Candence told her she would accept as fact, it would only last eight hours though. Good thing this had been an idea at the back of her mind for a while.

"Your name is Gleaming Shield dear, you don't need to worry I'll tell you everything." Cadence assured her summoning a book called the 'Story of Gleaming Shield'. She'd been toying with this idea for a while and had been jotting ideas down in this book when she'd been on vacation in Ponyville. "Just lay down on the bed and I'll tell you your story."

A/N: I intend to have Gleaming Shield's backstory to be completely rewritten here as well as her personality, if you have any last moment suggestions feel free to post them. Your ideas encourage me to keep writing.
