Broken 4th Rule

Chapter 9; The Message, Princess in the Mist

The bedroom was pretty cool, there was a small balcony, and opposite to it was small armoire sofa that was angled towards the balcony and a small fire place. On top of this there was a queen-sized four-poster bed with all manner of trappings. Not bad really. It was definitely suited for a guest to sleep and relax.

I heard something, whispers and scratching. I looked around and the noise seemed to disappear that’s when saw Wonder Heart put her hat down. I gave her a wide grin as I scoped out her form. The first words that came to mind were: tone, tight, muscular, well shaped and -- I have to say -- good-looking. She glanced over her shoulder and noticed me eyeing her curvaceous body.

"Like what you see?" She swayed her flank seductively before slowly turning around and giving me a smirk.

"Lets get started shall we? Why not come this way." I asked as I tapped the bed.

Wonder Heart trotted over, obediently, to the bed. She climbed up on the bed and soon we were snout to snout playing tonsil hockey, it was nice. We broke and I threw back the sheets. "Lets have an adventure shall we?" I asked her.

"Oh, you are just too good to be true," she started to slid into the sheets with me. "Babe start playing with my wings.."

We definitely had fun, but it was simple. I had to sleep. So when our under the sheet excretion was over I gave into sleep. Disappointed? Hay, I don't kiss and tell. You must be thinking, Why the hell was he doing it with a pony?! Well I've haven't had a girlfriend in a long time, so I was just enjoying fooling around with a willing partner. So cut me some slack!

It had to be dreaming, I was in my human body again, I was male again. I was in my orange and black sky patrol uniform, but I was not on the slopes. The land was barren and rocky, the area was surrounded in white mist, I could see a scant, tiny green plants trying to grow out of the ground. I could hear creatures shifting around, big, lumbering, dragging, snorting and roaring all around me but I couldn’t see them. Hello horror movie cliché I thought to myself.

I heard the sound of hooves tapping on the ground, something was coming through the white mist. It was shaped like an Alicorn, but it looked like someone cut out it's shape in the world. White hole with a smudged black outline for the broader features and light thin black lines for finer features.

"Hello!" I called out that's when I heard the faint voice again.
"Hello, it's good to see you. I bring a message..."

"A message? What is it and you got to tell me..."
"Not much time, beware, beware the monster hive for through them your fear shall come alive!"

"OK if that's the message I hear you, not sure what it means... but are you the Princess?"

The Alicorn nodded.

"I just want to know why we, my friend and I are here? How come am I being confused for you? Shouldn’t some one else know?” She seemed to think for a moment before swaying forward, motioning me to follow her. I did so through the mist until I came up to a set of trees, one was an apple tree the other a pear. The Princess aimed her horn at the trees, a pale white film covered a small branch of the apple tree and then a small branch from the pear tree. The branches were cut and switched to the other tree. "A cutting?" I questioned. I did have an associate degree in forestry, so I had some idea what she was doing.

The Princess nodded, it was like watching a time-lapse video. I watched as the small branch grow into bigger the branches were now making hybrid fruit. Then I watched one of the trees burn down, only one was left. The Princess once again cut another small cutting from the remaining tree’s hybrid branch and then planted in the ground. With another timelapse the cutting became a new tree.

"I wish this was an anime, I can always guess what's going to happen next on those. What does a cutting from a plant have to do with me?" I sighed and shook my head. "I don't get what you're trying to tell me."

"No time, you must go back..." Her voice was getting harder to hear, further and further away.

"Hey, wait you still..." I woke up. My arm was wrapped around my living body pillow Wonder Heart, she was snoring softly, it was so cutely near my ear. Part of me hoped this was all a dream, a fleeting part but it was one part.

The sun was coming up, it's light filtered into the room and I was resting with my body pillow. But I had no clue what to do now that I was here and I was at the mercy of the fates. There was a knock on the door. "Ms. Thrashion, are you awake?"

"Yes, yes I am."

"The Princess Celestia wish your presence in the dining hall in an hour." A voice called through the door.

"Thank you I'll be there!" I called back.

Wonder Heart started to get up as well. "Oh, I guess our fun is over sweet cheeks." She turned her yellow eyes to me and gave a light chuckle.

"Yeah, hope you liked it. Do you think there'll be a repeat performance though."

She shrugged then kissed me on my cheek "That was one of the most fun assignment that I've ever had."

We untangled ourselves and we washed up, they have shows! I like to thank any deity that made that happen. Wonder Heart was done faster then me, she was in her armor and out of the bedroom. There was another knock on the door.

"Thrasion dear? It's me Celestia, I would like to talk to you for a moment before you go to breakfast." Celestia called in.

"Yeah, OK, come in" I called through the door.

She entered the bedroom she had smile on her face, warm and inviting. "I hope you had some pleasant dreams. Listen, I must let you know that the world that you are being thrust into a world that not only did you not ask to be in, but is full of pitfalls and danger from the likes of which you have never seen. I have faith in you and know that I will not just toss you to these metaphorical predators. Nor will I allow you to be taken from us again by any evil force."

"That's comforting, I'm not saying it would be bad but why must I be apart of this at all?" I asked.

She was still smiling she nodded with her eyes closed. "While you do have a point. I will explain this further at breakfast. I will help you settle into your new life. You should know I will help prepare for what is to come and I will try my best to protect you. That is until you are able to do it yourself. Even then I will watch over you.'

'As for where you came from... We will try to find it so that the family that raised you will know you are well. We will solve any problem that may come from the meeting of these two places, when that day arrives. I will have my best scholars and magi work in on finding your former home and forming a connection with them. Please note, that it may be impossible to do so. The Elders spell was interrupted near it's end, when that happens mutation occurs and there is no telling what will happen or rather what happened.The mutation of a spell is hard to read and it was a miracle that you and your friend got here at all.” She looked at me sadly. Then her voice picked up. “True burned and batted but Doctor Feather Heart dose do good work. He would like to see you later today."

"So there is a very real possibility that we can't get home?" I asked her.

Celestia nodded her head.

"Crap!"

"Do not lose heart, you are not alone! You have your friend with you have another family here as well. We want to get to know you and I hope you are willing to get to know us as well. I hope one day that we’ll get to know your biological family as well. She fished with a graces bow of the head.

"Um, thanks Auntie? I'm still trying to take this all in. Is there any more questions for me?"

"Not now wait for breakfast, oh and I see," She said that last part with a little more emphases. "That mare was the nurse from the Baltimare Hospital? I see you had some fun last night." She paused and that made me nervous. If this were an anime I would be sweating bullets. "I hope you had fun." She turned around and started to leave the room. "Oh, one more thing you might want to take a shower you reek of sex."

"Right." I nodded.

That was freaking scary!
