The song of love.

Chapter 22.

Once that the dinner was finished, everypony was happy, talking about their own experiences during the last week. As they continued to talk, hours passed until night fully entered. It was until then that everypony started to feel the effects of drowsiness.

"... I'm getting sleepy." Scootaloo said, while trying to keep her eyes open.

"Yeah... me too." Apple Bloom confirmed with her head on the table.

"Then, it's time to hit the bed, girls." Soft suggested them while getting up.

"Yeah. That's a good idea. Good night, mister Soft." Apple bloom said while going toward the door.

"Good night, mister Soft." Scootaloo followed her, already getting more and more sleepy.

As both girls exited the house, Magnus and his wife looked at Sweetie Belle, who was almost sleeping in the table.

"I think somepony's sleepy, too." Soft said, smirking at the idea of seeing Sweetie Belle snoring in the table.

"No, I'm not..." Sweetie Belle tried to answer, but failed miserably when a yawn escaped from her mouth.

Magnus smirked at her before getting up.

"Come on, Sweetie. It's time to go to sleep." Magnus quietly ordered to her.

Sweetie Belle slowly got up before heading toward Soft. Soft only stared at her before seeing her leaning toward him for a kiss. Leaning backwards, Sweetie only met air. Giving Soft a questioning look, Soft only turned his eyes toward Magnus, who was with a shocked look at her daughter's antics. Sweetie turned toward Soft, nodding silently in comprehension.

"I think we should try to contain ourselves more often." Soft suggested, gaining another nod from Sweetie Belle.

Soft turned to face Magnus to tell him something, before feeling a quick peck at his cheek. His eyes widened at the feeling, but quickly regained his pose when he realized what it was.

"Good night, mister Soft." Sweetie said while walking toward the door, waiting for her parents.

Magnus just rolled his eyes and got up.

"I think this is where we say our farewells."

"Yes. Good night, sir." Soft said while getting up.

"Um... Soft?" Rarity suddenly caught Soft's attention.

"Yes, miss Rarity?"

"I... I need your help with something. Could you?"

"Sure."

While Magnus and his family got out of Rarity's house, Rarity lead Soft to her bedroom. Once in there, Soft suddenly noted the mess in her room. Everything was scattered everywhere.

"... What the hay happened in here?"

Suddenly, the lights turned off and the door closed behind him.

"Hey! What's going on!?"

After nopony answered to him, Soft started to get more and more nervous. In an attempt to find out what was going on, he lit his horn. However, what shone in the darkness froze his blood.

Rarity stood in front of him, with a smile that sent shivers through Soft's spine. Her pupils were pins, while her eye twitched every now and then. What scared Soft the most was the fluid that ran through her back legs.

"... Umm... miss Rarity? ... You okay?"

In a quick motion, Soft was pinned to the floor, with Rarity above him. In that position, Soft could clearly see that she was letting out a lot of fluids from her pussy.

Suddenly, he felt Rarity sighing in front of his face, while giggling like a crazy pony. Soft, by his part, started to feel mysteriously warm. It was then that he noted the essence that Rarity had, and he became aware of something else.

"It's always a good time when you are in heat..."

"Oh, crap... I'm SO doomed."

His thoughts were interrupted by Rarity suddenly grinding herself against him. The pheromones of her heat started to take its effect on Soft, who started to feel even more warm.

"Does that feel good?"

"Ngh... Miss Rarity-" Soft was interrupted abruptly by Rarity's hoof on his mouth.

"Nahaha. For you, I'm just Rarity... just for you." Rarity spoke seductively to him. "And tonight... I'm yours... and you're mine..."

Suddenly, Soft felt his member totally erect, being engulfed in one single motion by Rarity's pussy. Both made a loud moan at the sudden increase of pleasure. For Soft, it soon became a torture, for Rarity sped at full in her movements, making him to get to his release quickly.

"... ughhh..." Soft grunted while laying tired in the floor. Suddenly, he felt another wave or warmth over him. Lifting his head, Soft noted that Rarity started to speed again.

"Ugh! Miss Rarity!"

"Oh, Come on, Soft- Oh!-. I thought I told you- ah!- to call me Rarity." Rarity said while moaning at the glorious feeling of soft's member inside of her.

"Rarity! Please! I have to work tomorrow! I need to sleep! Ahhh!" Soft moaned loudly at his second release.

"Oh, you'll sleep... when I'm done..." Rarity said while started to grind again, giggling crazily..

"... Eyup... I'm doomed..."

"Oww..." Soft walked clumsily toward his job. His groin ached like if a ton of boulders have been thrown at his lower part. Even with a bath, all his body ached like Tartarus. Fortunately, Rarity fell asleep after the tenth time she came. That meant that when she would wake up, she'd be under control. Unfortunately for Soft the damage was done. He wouldn't have to get sex for another couple days. Even weeks if he needed to.

Soft walked with a look of pain, which gained the attention of various ponies around there. But Soft, being the clever one, put a bandage on his leg, making him to be seen like if he was hurt. That would explain his weird walking and the pained expression on his face.

"Argh! Crap!... Personal note: never stay late with Rarity again." Soft thought to himself as he kept walking through the street.

Soon, Ponyville's hospital came into view, signalling Soft the start of his day. Soft just smiled and tried to speed up, just to fail miserably at the sudden pain in his groin.

Yeah. That was going to be a long day. Soft thought to himself. However, his thoughts were interrupted when he stepped into something warm and with a mud-like consistence. Soft turned to the ground to see what he just stepped in. It was a trail of blood.

Soft leaned closer to get a better look at it. It was from five to eight hours old, Soft guessed. However, that could meant that the one who leaved this trail might have been severely injured.

Soft suddenly noticed that the trail didn't go to the hospital. Instead, it pointed toward the opposite direction. Soft turned to see the hospital in the distance and sighed.

"Either way, I'm going to be late to job." He said at the time he turned around to follow the trail ob blood.

Fortunately, it seemed that nopony else had noted the trail and were with their usual chatting. Soft kept following the trail, trying to be calmed like every other pony. Just as the trail turned a corner and lead into an alley, Soft noted that the trail became wider, making him to guess that whoever was in there, he might have already lose a lot of blood.

Entering the alley, Soft sped up in hope to find the one in there still alive. However, as he turned another corner, he didn't expect to see a huge pony, bigger than any other pony that he had seen before, sitting against the wall. His mane and tail seemed to be like a never ending wild fire. His fur was like the darkest of the nights. But those wings. They seemed like the ones of a bat pony, but different at the same time.

Soft only stared at the snoring giant in front of him, before noticing something stabbed on his leg. Soft saw that it was his leg from where his blood was leaking from. Soft put a hoof over his nose at the sudden sight and smell of a huge pool of blood beneath him. Soft started to think about what to do, before making a decision.

"Horn. Don't fail me now." He said as he approached to the giant and lit his horn, casting a teleporting spell.

Opening his eyes, the black pony silently stared at the room he was in. It seemed like an hospital room, just what he was trying to avoid. Suddenly, his mind started to work, and the sudden realization hit him. His leg was wrapped in bandages! His heart started to beat quickly at the feeling that something was wrong. Really wrong.

Suddenly, the sound of the door opening startled him. A yellow pony with a bandage on his leg showed up, instantly recognizing him.

"Oh, good! You're awake!" The yellow pony said while walking toward the bed. "We thought that you might be worse of what we thought, for the huge lose of blood." The yellow pony just stood in there, writing something on a board.

The black pony just looked at him with curiosity and nervousness. He started to feel more and more anxious. Who was he? What was HE doing in there!?

In a sudden reaction, the black pony extended his wings and bated them with a strength that send Soft flying away against the wall. Recovering from the hit, Soft realized that the pony was trying to fly through a window.

"Wait, no! You can't do that! You're pretty weak!" Soft shouted as the black pony flapped his wings toward the window. In a sudden rush, Soft ran toward him in the moment the pony broke through the window.

The last thought that came to his mind was a single question.

"The hay am I doing this!?"

Soft held tightly at the leg of the black pony, while he started to flap his wings with such a strength that it obliged Soft to hold on dear life to his leg.

Turning his head up, Soft saw that the black pony wasn't even paying attention to him. On his eyes, the look of relief as he contemplated a mountain in the far side of the valley. Soft finally guessed what the pony wanted, but his leg was still wounded, and he had to do something for him.

"Hey!" Soft shouted, accurately gaining the attention of the black pony, who seemed surprised of the small pony who was attached to his leg. "You must go back! Your leg's injured! You might lose it if you don't receive the appropriate treatment within the next days!"

The pony made a face as if he were being mocked, as well as a grunt escaped his mouth. Suddenly, the black pony started to flap his wings again, this time harder and faster. Turning his head down, Soft suddenly got more frightened as he saw the buildings becoming tinier.

"THE HAY ARE YOU DOING!? YOU REALLY HAVE TO GO BACK! IT'S FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY!" Soft shouted as held tighter to the black pony's leg. Suddenly, the pony slowed down his beating and finally, stopped at mid-air.

Soft sighed in relief as the wind ran through his mane and fur. The black pony turned his head toward him, gaining Soft attention, a grin appearing on his face. Soft could only gulp as he prepared for anything this pony had planed for him.

"W-What are you...?" Soft started to say as the pony suddenly turned his eyes toward the ground. Realizations instantly struck Soft. "Oh, raaAAATS" Sort shouted as the black pony made a 180 degrees turn and dove into the air with a speed Soft had never seen before.

The duo of the blue unicorn and his grey unicorn fellow walked around the city while looking around.

"Where did he go? Can't see him!" The blue one stated.

"Don't know! I just saw them flying away! How could we miss a huge pony like him!?" The grey one answered.

Both of them had seen the enormous black pony flying away from the hospital. It was going to be their turn to keep an eye on him. But as usual, fate was being cruel with them. Now, they were on the verge to lose their jobs if they couldn't find that pony.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard just above of them, almost like a thunder. The duo lifted their heads to see the source of the sound, and they discovered a large black object flying directly toward the ground. However, that wasn't all they noted, but also the yellow pony clinging tightly to the black pony's leg as if his life depended on it. And it depended on it.

"Is that... Soft Heart?" The blue one asked.

The duo just started as the black pony made a rough turn at three feet of the ground and kept flying, taking away some object with the force of his speed. The shout of fear from Soft could be heard at first lowly, then loudly, and back to lowly again. The duo just turned to the other one, blinking in surprise.

"... I think we really underestimate Soft."

"... Yeah."

Suddenly, another thunder was heard, and the duo turned to see several rays of light shooting in random directions as the black pony made rough turns.

"Looks like he's having a bad time."

"Come on! We have to help!"

The duo then started to run toward the source of the rays.

"STOP MOVING, FOR THE SAKE OF CELESTIA!!" Soft shouted as another ray of his horn missed his target, sending it away in the sky. The black pony just ignored him as he kept making rough turns, trying to shake him off.

Soft was trying to paralyze him, in order to stop him from hurting himself. However, at every shot his horn made, it failed miserably to hit the target.

It seemed like an eternity as Soft clung to his life on to his leg, until a hit finally connected with the black pony's head. However, it didn't reacted as Soft expected, for the dark pony just blinked a few times and shook its head, before gazing menacingly toward Soft.

Suddenly, another ray hit the black pony on the head, this one coming from the ground. Soft turned to the ground to see his two fellow doctors in the ground pointing to the black pony.

"Soft! You okay!?" The blue one saked to him.

"DOESN'T MATTER!! TAKE HIM OUT!!" Soft shouted, causing the pony to turn around, just in time to avoid two rays. The black pony made a quick twisting to avoid other two rays, which resulted in Soft finally losing his balance and falling to the ground, along with a small letter.

Falling to the floor, Soft realized that the black pony was losing his balance, too. He finally got to the floor. Soft sighed in relief as his partner arrived.

"Soft!" The grey one went toward him, while the blue one stood behind.

"I'm okay, Needle. Thanks, by the way."

"What for?"

"Well, if you and Syringe hadn't come, i might have receiver a harder hit."

"yeah. Well, your friend over there is knocked out. let's take him to the hospital."

Soft started to walk, stopping all of sudden while something caught his attention: a small letter in the floor.

As the black pony once again opened his eyes, he found himself again in a hospital bed. However, this time, the yellow pony sat in front of him with a letter on his hoof. The black pony opened his eyes wide while looking to the yellow pony.

"You're a soldier... a lunar soldier." The yellow pony stated while extending the letter to the black pony.

The black pony just took the letter and eyed it, then at the yellow pony. It was still closed.

"I have heard stories about a war in the south. A war against changelings. Didn't think they were true."

The black pony just blinked, not knowing how to react. Suddenly, the yellow pony stretched his hoof to him.

"My name is Soft Heart."

The black pony stretched his hoof and took it, shaking it.

"Flaming Shadow."

"Wow, you can talk! Thought you were mute."

"... You saved me. You're my friend."
