Inside, Celestia used her magic to remove both of her ceremonial armor and Ruby’s dress before beckoning her to get into the already filled bath. Ruby felt a little odd sharing a bath with the princess, but slid into the large tub anyway. The bath was the perfect temperature and filled with exotic oils and salts; Ruby’s entire body felt relaxed as could be. Ruby gasped a little when she felt Celestia nuzzling her from above. She was gentle, yet forceful, keeping Ruby locked under the deity’s neck in a position where Ruby couldn’t really see much other than her monarch’s clean, white fur. Celestia sighed; she knew this moment was coming, but it didn’t make it any easier. She knew she had to do it, otherwise she would waste away and there would be nobody strong enough to protect her subjects against those who would wish to do Equestria harm. Her horn glowed with a dull light, and a large, ornate knife rose from behind one of the room’s many decorative statues. She spoke to Ruby through the nuzzle. “My dear, isn’t this relaxing, you can close your eyes and go to sleep if you want to,” as the ceremony knife levitated right behind Ruby. Ruby felt the nuzzle lift, and began to speak, “But Princess, I don’t want to be rude an…” Her words were cut short when she felt a sharp stinging across her neck. Ruby looked down and saw the bathwater was turning red all around her. Then, she got real cold, and real tired. She decided to take Celestia up on her offer, and feel asleep so fast that she didn’t even feel her face hit the water. |
