The Root of Loyalty

The sun in the sky had reached well past its half way point and as such it was now entering the late evening and soon it would be time for Luna to bring out the moon. Since then she had managed to get a steady hold on her wings and was easily surpassing Twilight in terms of flight. Flight consisted of both the magical and the physical, and whilst Rarity had now become easily the greatest at the former in Equestrian history in a matter of seconds, she was held back by the later. Less skilled than even an early Fluttershy. But still able to fly comfortably.

“Enjoying yourself Rarity?” Twilight asked, flying behind her with a bit more balance than Rarity was.

"I believe I'm starting to get the hang of it." Rarity said, and she said the truth. Not too long ago they had met up with Rainbow Dash who had given her some pointers of flying. But she hadn’t stayed long, only giving her the tips and telling them that Fluttershy had found the Root of Laughter. She had left after Twilight had taken a note, wanting to find the other roots for the right reasons and not because she was jealous of Rarity or anything.

"Perhaps I should head back Twilight. It would hardly be fair for me to get two powers after all.” Rarity suggested to Twilight.

“I think you should stay Rarity, your magic could be useful.” Twilight shouted back at her. “But if you want to get back to Sweetie Belle I’d understand.”

Rarity blushed at Twilight's insinuation, she could possibly know could she? No it was impossible.

Though Rarity had to admit the thought was tempting to her. And with the sun beginning to fall she had to worry that they wouldn’t have time to find the last two roots. The Everfree might be strangely peaceful right now but she still didn’t want to find herself here after dark.

“Perhaps we might stop for a bit Twilight. I happen to be growing quite tired using these wings for the first time." Rarity suggested and the suggestion caused Twilight to stop mid flight.

"Of course Rarity.” Twilight replied almost dutifully. They both flew gently to the ground and landed in a clearing in the forest. The two mares found a nice tree to sit up against and relax. “So how was your first flying trip?”

“Challenging dear but wonderful nevertheless.” Rarity admitted leaning back into the tree line. Twilight sitting crossed legged in front of her as if awaiting something. "Something the matter dear?"

"Oh no just wondering if there was something you wanted. Anything I could do for you?” Twilight asked almost dutifully. Almost like a servant or a ****.

Rarity immediately shook her head of the sinful thoughts, but as she did so a thought occurred to her. "Twilight do you recall that the Root we found was in a cave made out of crystal?"

Blinking Twilight nodded. "Yes I do remember that."

Rarity leapt to her feet and clapped her hands together with great enthusiasm. "Well I happen to know a spell to detect gems, and it should work for crystals too."

"Yes..." Twilight said clearly skeptical of her idea. "I remember offering you lessons on extending your range with that but you didn't want them."

Rarity nodded. She had lied to Twilight and pretended that it was too much hassle, in truth she didn't want to know how to make those trips any shorter. She enjoyed spending time with Spike far too much, perhaps that was when she started to have feelings for him. "Yes well Twilight that was before I got this new power, now it seems so easy to me."

Twilight's eyes rounded in wonder. "Why didn't I think of that? Let's do it."

Nodding Rarity lit up her horn and nearly stumbled off her feet as the scanning range nearly overwhelmed her. Effortlessly analyzing the entire Everfree Forest and seeing every crystal down through the planet's crust and all the way to the planet's core. Twilight rushed forward to hold her and stop her from collapsing.

“Are you okay?” She asked the unicorn.

“I think so darling. The spell was just a little bigger than I’d thought it’d be but it worked nevertheless.” Rarity explained, rubbing her head. However rather than the immense headache she should be receiving she only felt a faint dizziness. "There's a crystal cave we haven't explored just over here."

Rarity led Twilight through the forest, keeping an eye out for any creatures that might leap at them from the shadows. Yet the forests remained docile and peaceful throughout their passage. Yet subtly Rarity could feel herself growing more aroused as she walked, new fantasies entered her head and she had to resist the urge to stop and masturbate one of her trees. To declare Spike her Master and use her power to enslave every attractive mare and watch him fuck them all, only to find Rarity the greatest of all slaves. Special to him, the one he found the most beautiful, the perfect ****.

Rarity couldn't help but betray a squeal as she found her hips pulsing in an orgasm, embarrassed she had clutched a tree for support. As she did so she noticed a glint in the forest. "Look Twilight there it is."

They both rushed over to where she was pointing, like the other cave it had been overgrown by the forest. A natural consequence time and the location, she supposed that all the roots must have been similarly buried by nature.

"Which one do you think it is? Kindness, loyalty or generosity?” Rarity asked her friend.

"I can't really tell." Twilight admitted, eyes squinting in confusion. "Definitely not a Fluttershy colour, but it could be either yours or Rainbow Dash."

"Not that it matters darling. Why don't you go ahead?"

Twilight turned to Rarity in confusion. "But wouldn't you want the power?"

It was with great hardship she resisted using the words Mistress in the conversation. "Yes darling but it seems only fair. After all I don't think I'll need anything more than the power I already have."

Twilight seemed skeptical but Rarity wasn't taking no for an answer, using her magic to grip Twilight within her magical grasp. Twilight tried to resist but it was much like a child fighting against a wrestler. "Don't be so selfless Twilight, I can't have all the power to myself."

Before Twilight could find herself saying another word she was thrown into the cave and tumbled down the crystal caverns. When she came to a stop she found herself before the crystal root. This time plastered with a rainbow lightning bolt, just like Rainbow Dash's cutie mark.

"Guess that means that this is the loyalty root." Twilight muttered getting up, eyes darting around for the hologram that was sure to appear. Sure enough the prism haired copy of her friend Rainbow Dash appeared before her with her arms crossed.

"And where have you been? When I heard the other roots were being found I was getting impatient." The Element of Loyalty demanded, feet tapping in impatience.

"Well in my defense this isn't really a small forest." Twilight pointed out, but the image of her friend simply rolled her eyes.

"Yeah, yeah whatever." She said dismissively. "In any case I'm guessing you want to hear about these new awesome powers."

Briefly Twilight's eyes flickered back to her Mistress, a part wishing to have empowered her more, but nevertheless she nodded her head.

"Well listen up cause I'm only explaining this once. You find a pony whose loyal to an organization, like the royal guards for instance. With this power you'll be able to change what that pony thinks that organization is supposed to do and is about. So you could make that guard think the Royal Guard was all about being clowns, you could set their code and rules however you want and not only will the Guardpony believe it, if he tells any other Guardpony that other Guardpony would agree with the former. Only works though if they're loyal to the organization." The Element of Loyalty explained, causing Twilight to salivate with ideas.

"So I could change an entire institution with this power..." Twilight mused with herself, all too eager to consider the possibilities.

A/N: Just a simple chapter to establish the Element of Loyalty, just the Element of Generosity and a chapter with Fluttershy's exhibitionist streak in Ponyville and we'll be voting again. Ideas for who to receive the final element of generosity are welcome. In regards to that a suggestion by H0rs3Fly for the Element is I think intresting.

Basically it would have the cave the root of generosity be something the wielder at any time and be given anything they want from the cave, whether it be material or just a word of kindness or the like. It could also be used in order to get gifts for other ponies the examples he used were:

• Sandbar wants the perfect gift for Yona to cebrate their anniversary, the cave gives him a yak-sized **ck and an unbreakable pelvis
• Rarity wants to show Spike he's still special to her, cave gives her a 12 pack of condoms

And Spike would be able to move the cave somewhere more convenient if necessary. Suggestions as for this idea and who should wield it are welcome as always.
