The Scent: Love of Mares

"Lachlan Goudie, Consort of Queen Chrysalis, and Queen Razor Fang. You stand before the council and the queens of Equis for your heroic act of selflessness and courage. Storming the Gem wasp hive and butchering the vile beasts. For your heroism and sacrifice I ask that you kneel so you may be knighted as swarm paladin." Thorax instructed gasps coming many of the queens as Chrysalis looked on in shock Razor wing's mouth a gape. Motion for her to lean forward, the mare did so in slight confusion.

"If I were to refuse this deal what would the consequences be for Chrysalis and Razor?" I whispered the mares ears twitching as she gave a small grimace.

"It would be taken as a grave insult and your mates would lose face. I am sorry Lachlan but the council want you not because of the bravery but because of how strong you are they want to use you as a weapon. I will knight you in such a way that it will slip though a small loop hole that will not force you to turn on Equestria or abuse you." she whispered giving me a small smile as I nodded. Kneeling the mare placed the serrated blade of her sword on my shoulder lightly tapping each side.

"Arise Lachlan Goudie, Swarm paladin of the changeling race."

"So in short a swarm paladin is a warrior, who serves the changeling race. Damn it I don't want to be a warrior I don't even have any combat training, shit I don't want to train, training's hard?" I complained, fidgeting with the new armor. A swarm Paladin from what the two giddy changeling queens had told me was an honor bestowed to a select few and not only gave me access to breed with as many queens as I pleased. But also made me their guardian a protector someone the soldiers would look to for inspiration and hope in battle. Queens would come to see me for guidance and the common changeling would see me as a hero.

Chrysalis and Razor had insisted that I take full advantage of the breeding part. The two telling me that the queens would most likely just be looking for sex. Queens tend not to have offspring with stallions they are not mated to. This was due to the pregnant changeling queen requiring a direct and constant feed of emotions to keep both them and the foal healthy.

I was impressed when they had insisted that the sex bit was optional rather than just expecting me to do it, so the two were learning as were all the mares. I had to admit that some of the queens were very attractive but I was hesitant to just sow my oats with any mare as I already had five kids with a sixth on the way and was in no hurry to add to the already large number.

"A swarm paladin. I cant belief you were bestowed with that title. Our mother used to tell us stories of them when we were but nymphs. They were fearless, powerful and could change a hopeless situation in mere seconds." Razor swooned looking at my armored form with admiration and respect. Chrysalis gave a small chuckle at her aunts child like glee. Thomas was currently suckling from Razor wing. Despite being four years old a toddler by my terms and still a baby by pony standards Thomas was just a few months away from being weened onto a solid food. Like his brothers and sisters he was able to eat small meals which were required for him to get the needed protein into his body. But he was still heavily reliant on his mothers and aunts milk.

It was estimated that the foals would reach sexual maturity at about 20 and be considered an adult at 26. Isaac, aurora and the twins were now considered colts and fillies no longer foals as Isaac was able to form words and Aurora had said mama just a few weeks ago. The draconequus pups had been the first to start eating solids yet they had yet to speak. I could not help but grimace at the realization that soon Isaac would be six in just a few days. It was why I had been hesitant to go as I would be damned if I missed my first born's birthday party.

"You alright Lach?" Chrysalis questioned the mare moving up to sit next to leaning in against my body. With a small flick of my hand the armor vanished leaving my chest bare as the mare gave a thankful nod.

"I have missed so much of my kids life's, birthdays, days out, first words, first steeps. I missed all of this because I got reckless and it costed me four years away from the kids you the herd everything. You went though pregnancy alone, grief stricken because I tried to out run a bullet! I was stupid, thoughtless and to playful. I was not serious enough and it finally caught up to me. I fear something like that happening again because what if there is not a miracle this time what if I stay dead?" I finished groaning as I fell backwards my head landing on the soft bed.

"Honey nopony saw that coming. We were not better whilst you were brash and nieve we were arrogant and down right cruel to you. Lachlan many of us raped you, in your world that is a serious crime and we brushed it off as you wanting it or pushed it behind as our relationships deepened. How were we any better than the mare that killed you when we ourselves were treating you and even now treated you like a toy? Ever since Faust has been around we have thrown ourselves into studying everything we can on how to be good mates. But even now we continue to fail we see opportunities to gain power, but at the expense of using you like a fuck toy and whore to be passed around so we may be rewarded with land, power and money. we nearly killed you because we were so scared of the thought of a beast with enough power to stand up to us that we neglected you ignored you when you had only been back for a few weeks in pursuit of the liche." she paused licking her lips as she gave me a sad look.

"And when we did spend time with you what was it sex and us complain about our problems. Yet despite coming back from the dead hiding your other side and always doing what we asked you never once complained and I mean seriously complained. Then the one time you asked us to trust you, to have some belief in you we betrayed you. We were so arrogant and controlling that we could not bare the thought of you having free will or disobeying us. The truth is Lachlan we are nothing with out you!" Chrysalis sobbed, getting herself more and more worked up as she finished, tears streaking down her face.

"Lachlan, you do not realise just how important you are to this herd. the months you were gone nearly killed us. It was a cold realization that you could leave any time you wanted any creature in Equestria would kill to have you as a mate. We grew so cocky at having a handsome mate who was loving great in bed and good with the kids that the power went to our heads we grew colder towards you. I mean how often did we as a herd do something, go to a park, relax or even eat out. The answer is nearly never. We were always 'busy' or to tired to do anything. You never complained you never begrudged us and above all unless you were kidnapped or we wanted you to you never slept around not because you couldn't but because you did not feel comfortable doing so. Unless we were their of course then all bets were off." Razor wing chuckled mirthlessly hugging her niece as I gave a small nod.

"Girls I will not deny that I was bitter and hateful towards you when I left I was half dead weak and fearful. I was heart broken that none of you trusted me and the fights we had when I did come back were terrible especially between you and I Chry. I was miserable I feared that the only reason I was with you was because of Stockholm syndrome or some fucked up love poison. But the thing is it is neither of those, I just got over it. Rape should never be trivialized but the rapes were done by virgin mares who had no idea how rough they were being or what effects the rape would have. And the thing is it was only really, Nightmare Moon and Molestia. I will not for a second say I enjoyed being raped it is horrible, I felt like shit. But I forgave the two because i grew to love them. At the end of the day regardless of all your pasts, you are all good on the inside? You were inexperienced and fucked up, I do not bare any ill will towards any of you. I love all of you, never doubt that okay?" I finished the two giving weak smiles as I spread my arms out invitingly as the two crawled towards me cuddling into my smaller form. Sighing I smiled as Thomas lay sprawled out in his bed having to my disbelief slept though his mothers small break down.

The two changeling mares were stressed as well as tired. Having to deal with nearly half the queens wishing to herd me had put a large strain on the two. Though no decision had been made I was fairly certain that I was not herding half the changeling queen population. Though being honest one hundred queens that lasted at most a minute each would still be less than it took me to get though Molestia when she was having a dry heat or Platinum. The rest of the mares could easily last about four minutes each so it was not out the question just sounded like more hassle than it was worth.

Despite it being the crack of dawn many queens were only retiring now. I on the other hand felt no fatigue. I felt the need to explore the underground fortress. Silently leaving the room I walked down the large corridor my armor clinking with each step as I placed a hand on the sword given to me. The blade was beautiful. The steel glowed silver and the handle a metalic black. Simple but strong the blade having been made with material that could only be extracted by Changeling given their strong resistance to fire and heat.

"Good morning Swarm paladin." a sickly sweet voice cooed from behind the hairs on the back of my neck standing on end as I turned. Ambrosia. Myxine and Vespula all stood just a few feet away from me the three grinning as I gave a curt nod.

"Good morning." I replied politely watching the three with a neutral expression.

"I do hope that our aunt and sister have not tarnished our reputation to much." Vespula chuckled the other two snorting at her question. "Because whilst we may seem cruel we are actually very loving. The problem is that very few can survive our 'love'. But you , you look like you are sturdier even if you are smaller." she finished giggling as she crept forward, her hand gently resting on the breast plate of my armor.

"I am touched but I wish to be left in peace." I replied the three recoiling slightly in confusion

"Uh... we are offering you sex?." Ambrosia spoke up.

"I know what you were offering." I replied. Inhaling deeply Ambrosia give a small sigh. "by my ancestor that scent." she moaned.

"How?" Chrysalis asked lying beside me as Myxine cuddled in closer purring in content.

"What? I had, mostly nothing to do with this." I replied the mare rolling her eyes as she looked at the dozen plus queens passed out on the large bed.

"That is lies and you know it. What I am asking is how did you rope myself and my aunt into this and dear god did you have to lay with all my sisters?" Chrysalis growled as Ambrosia groped her from behind.

"Lighten up big sis he was more than enough for all of us though I have to admit he is something." She giggled licking a small slither of white fluid off of her older sister's face. "I have had more lovers than I can count over the two thousand years I have been alive and never have I had a stallion with such stamina and technique. I hope as sisters you will share in the future?" she giggled.The larger mare growled in response, pulling me towards her possessively though only bringing me closer to her sister as she lunged forward catching my lips as she continued to fondle her sister.

I had to admit the three sisters were kinky they had insisted on grabbing Razor Fang and Chrysalis wanting it to be a family thing though their mother had declines to both my herd members relief. Other queens had heard the commotion and come to investigate. Once they knew what was going on they had jumped me. I had got the nod of approval from my two queens and once I had finished with the queens whom to my disappointment had terrible stamina. For my services the queens saw to it that i was rewarded and paid for my services. One queen had offered me a small unit of elite changeling guards that as off a week from now would be arriving to serve me and me alone. Others offered weapons and jewelry.

"You have turned me into a whore." I hissed a few muffled chuckles coming from the few queens still awake as Chrysalis lovingly liked my nose.

"Then don't be, refuse sex and I will never push the issue." she replied chuckling as I gave a small pout.

"I like the sex but I also kind of like complaining about being oppressed and a sexual object of the oppressive mares. I mean it is great get loads of sex and admiration then i get to bitch about how I am nothing more than a sex object and watch as shit hits the fan. I kind of see why tumbr feminists like this shit" I smiled playfully, Chrysalis snorting in amusement despite having no idea what a feminists or Tumbr was.

"Well now that I know your ploy you will be getting no more mercy from me mister. Seriously Lachlan if you feel uncomfortable at any point just say so and we will back off. The whole point of the herd is that it is about both parties if we want sex and you don't we have no right to demand it unless we are in heat. Sorry to say hun that neither mare nor stallion is exempt from a mare in heat. If your lover is in heat well tough" she grinned biting my ear.

"Well I might just run away and hide." I replied cockily.

"Then we would hunt you down and take our price." she teased, her chin resting on my chest. Her body seemed to wrap around me her legs wrapped around mine possessively.

"Trust me lachlan we would find you." Razor Wing sleepily stated rolling over as she moved closer the two sandwiching me.

Sleep came to me quickly, allowing me to fall into a peaceful slumber.
