A cold heart, a warm soul

What felt like hours had gone by under the moonlight, the nearby iron tree reflecting the light giving the two enough light for training. Having decided to train with daggers was a horrible idea, just as bad as spears and halberds. Applebloom though has finally handled the basic wielding of a straightsword despite the discomfort of her clothing having been torn at multiple places due to how strictly Kurai was training her. “Keep your swing straight and elbows bent!” He roared, using the pole section of a spear to knock her lumbar to which she straightened up at. “No no no! That’s not how you stab! Look at me!” Kurai yelled out to his apprentice, using another straightsword as a demonstration, as if he simply cut air the sword looked like it was shot forward by a musket. “Like this ok?” She nodded meekly in response, attempting the technique only to fall flat on her face slipping on the grass dew which had gathered her sweat.

Groaning in pain she struggled to get up only to slide back forward, knocking her head on a normal tree which was her practice dummy. “Aww…I can’t do it, its too hard…” She complained, even though she had an amazing amount of stamina this sort of thing could tucker anybody or anypony out, sighing she sat up with her face covered in mud.

Rolling his eyes under the iron helmet Kurai handed her a towel and a few pieces of green blossom for her stamina. “Don’t you go resting on me now. I had to run a marathon while my head was wanted on the walls of red phantoms walls!” He heard a sniffle from Applebloom, in his desire to train her he lost his sanity for a second. “I-..I’m sorry.” He sat next to her. “just, its a lot of pressure to deal with.”

“It’s fine.” She flatly replied. “Am…am I improving?”

He can’t deny that she has been improving quite quickly the last hour and a half, but there was also other things on his mind about her that puzzled him. “You know, you’re quite clever for a kid in the body of a woman. In fact, Id say you’re already an adult.” Kurai chuckled at his own joke to which the amber eyed pony cocked her head to the side.

“What’s a woman?”

The knight thought for a second before replying. “Well, in your world it would be called mare, but in your…state… you would be considered a woman more than a pony despite your fur being noticeable along with your head still that of a pony.” There was much more he wanted to mention but she seemed a bit too young mentally to know what, or so he thought.

“So, anythin’ else you find nice on this body of a ‘woman’?” Applebloom smirked, seemly pushing out her figure for him while batting her eyes. A little trick she learnt from Rarity which was foolproof. Kurai stood up and walked off without a word as she pouted, standing up she will not sit and let the possibility of future advancements be denied leading to wasted effort. Stomping over to him she grabbed his shoulder and spun him to face her. “Why don’t you like me…? Do you even like me at all?”

“You’re obsessed.” Kurai replied bluntly, though, she did have some sort of charm to her. As much as he did not want to admit it, he did like her. But what he was worried about was her safety. If he did go through with it there would be no going back and not to mention her legal age. But then again, she was technically an adult now. No, the threat was too high. “I do.” He blurted out without thinking, in his internal argument he forgot she was standing right there. “Well, shit.” He whispered to himself under the helmet as her frown grew into a cheerful grin.

Before he could correct himself Applebloom threw herself onto him with a close hug. “I knew you did!” She exclaimed with a giggle, nuzzling him. When she was done his helmet was suddenly removed without effort, she was going to try and kiss him. Staring up at her, Kurai attempted wiggle out of the way but she was stronger than she looked. Apple family genes or pure willpower. Having no choice he caused a talisman to be spat out his pouch and into his hand, using force he pushed her off, knocking her into the tree. “Owwwww…What the hay was that for?! Didn’t you say you liked me?”

Trying to think of a response he waded through the flooded city of his mind for a simple answer. “I…I’m not ready?” He replied, thankfully she looked like she understood.

“Oh.” She smiled a bit. “Why didn’t you say so?” She added.

“Because you were going to try and plant a kiss on me before I could.” Kurai said while putting his helmet back on to cover up a blush forming on his face hoping she did not see. “Now, back to training.” He commanded, preparing his disciplining pole again.

Mumbling Applebloom stood up and began stabbing at the imaginary enemy as Kurai smacked any part of her body that was out of place with the pole to which she reacted by flinching or with a grunt. Finally she managed to do one perfectly straight jab to which he nodded to, she attempted again only for her to feel a sharp pain in someplace she did not expect, her rear end. Apparently he got carried away with disciplining her he would strike anything out of place with the pole that isn’t her head. It felt odd considering it hurt less than the other spots he already hit her, Applebloom could not help but turn around with a half shut eye stare at the face palming Kurai. “Not ready huh?” She smirked.

“How do you even know that sort of stuff?!” Kurai yelled at her, now at wits end. “So what if i actually like you that does not mean I want…to…-“ He paused, reflecting back on what he just said. Again he had forgotten what he was even saying, were his feelings getting in the way of common sense? Sighing he sits sown in defeat on the ground. “Yes, you heard me. I do, I like you because you remind me of someone I used to know. Someone I knew before the curse of the undead, brash, headstrong and a quick learner. But it all came crashing down when she was- well, you can guess the rest. Remember not too long ago when I mentioned another innocent death? Well that was her.”

Walking over to him she put away the straightsword before sitting by him. “What happened to her?” She asked, hoping he wouldn’t mind retelling her what could be a horrific moment. All Kurai did was lower his head in response, inhaling sharply.

“She hollowed, a darkwraith appeared out of the darkness. He- No. It. It had no visible emotion, no visible colour of life. Just a dark red phantom, armed with an axe and what looked like a glowing hand. Without a seconds delay it lunged forward, cutting my throat with a swing and watched as I bled out. In my last moments before I became an undead I had to watch as he gripped her throat with that thing. That horrific thing!!!” Kurai was beginning to show more signs of his sanity depleting from remembering that moment, Applebloom shuffling back in terror of what he might do. “He sucked the life out of her and slaughtered her, leaving her to die a fate worse than mine! The final resting place for all who share my curse, hollowing and to end up as a home for the maggots to feast on! No afterlife, no limbo. Only hollowing!”

Hesitantly she placed a hand on his knee to calm him, he stared back at her gentle gaze after a few seconds of deep breathing. “I promise I won’t die, nopony deserves that sort of thing, let alone twice. But, I am awfully sorry for makin’ you say this.” Applebloom embraced the mourning knight, slowly removing his helmet, their eyes locking once again. Slowly the two got closer, their eyes gazing into each other like two parallel mirrors. Before long both have begun to not only lock their eyes, but their lips. Applebloom slipped her tongue, wrestling Kurais into submission before he countered with his. Both pulled away from the kiss to look at each other once again, both blushing.

Kurai chuckled awkwardly. “Sorry, I’m new to this… still a virgin…”

“Me too.” She replied smiling, this comforted him also confused him.

“Then how did you with the-.”

“Anal.” Applebloom interrupted. He raised his eyebrows at the sudden mention of that, unusual but if it kept her hymen intact there seemed to be no problem. Hopefully.  “Now, are you gonna?” She asked with a hint of seductive venom added to her voice. Something to which Kurai responded with a confused grunt. “Well, you have read books on it right?”

He nodded, but after spending a really long time in a loop and in limbo he had no idea of what to do. She giggled at that for a moment. “Sorry… I just don’t feel like I know how to.” Applebloom thought for a moment, getting an idea. “What? What is it?”

If there is one thing that would make any person or pony inexperienced want to go at it, it was instinct. But before she began she looked to the patiently waiting knight, looking him int he eye. “Are you sure you want to do this with me?” She asked. “I don’t want to force you into this, I have really strong feelings for you, I don’t know why I just do.”

“The spell you cast, with a clear goal in mind when you increased your age it also made you feel like you waited ages for me. Tell me, when you cancel the spell you will remember every moment right? As well as that age thing?” She nodded. That was all he needed to know now. “Then I am ready.”

Unable to contain her excitement the yellow coated pony pounced on him with a deep and passionate kiss, her body against his. Resting her hips on Kurais as he laid back on the grass, slowly she brought the shadow set top up over her head exposing her breasts to him. Applebloom did not care for the cold as she showed no signs of shivering, though her nipples did harden at the touch of the night air. Gripping both sides of his helmet she pulled it off to show her his face which to her had a hilarious combination of awkward uncertainty and love. Resting down on him their lips met, Kurai began to let his hand wander all around her back, stroking her mane with his other. Pulling back from the kiss Appleblooms face was red as her mane as she felt something between her legs. Smirking at what was happening she began to rock her hips back and forth to stimulate Kurai who began clenching his teeth at the feeling. Sliding down on him until her head was level to his crotch she softly tugged on the leather used for holding his leggings together to which his erected cock sprung up nearly striking her muzzle.

“Sorry if it’s too small.” Kurai said quietly, hoping that his pride would not be harmed in the process.

Applebloom looked up to him, having to look past his erection to speak to him straight in the eye. “It’s not too small, it’s not too big. Heck I aint complainin’, all that matters to me is that I love you.” She reassured him. Opening her mouth she engorged his cock down her throat, her tongue sticking out the bottom. Slowly Applebloom began to bob her head back and forth, allowing her throat, tongue and teeth to stimulate him further. Kurai groaned slightly at the odd feeling, he does not know how but it felt good to him. Stopping a few times she swirled her tongue around the shaft and occasionally the tip when his cock was not all the way down her gullet before shoving him back down, creating a visible lump in her throat every time she did. Before long Applebloom was speeding up how fast she sucked his cock, trying to get him to cum. She felt him quivering, his cock throbbing visibly down her throat. Every time he shuddered with a moan of pleasure it was driving her crazy, making her even more determined to force Kurai to expel his seed. He moans louder through his clenched teeth, holding back his cum to the point of his balls and cock swelling up twice their size. Pulling back with a deep breath Applebloom felt like she was about to choke from the size. “Well aren’t you getting bigger.” She stated with a smile while Kurai quivered from the sudden itch his cock felt from the rushing blood to increase its size. Obliging to his silent needs she began sucking on him once again, scratching that little itch running up and down his length. Kurai groaned out loud, releasing his hot sticky mess into her mouth, causing her cheeks to puff out. Her final reaction though was unexpected as Applebloom pulled back and coughed up on the ground, gagging at the taste or she swallowed to much.

Sitting up he quickly patted her back to prevent her from choking with a worried expression, thankfully she was breathing normally after a few pats with a few gasps. “Are you okay?”

Without a verbal answer and a smile she laid back on the ground spreading her legs, casually cutting a hole between the legging from her clitoris to her anus with the straightsword. Raising a hand she beckoned him to take her with that same half shut stare. Approaching her glistening vaginal opening he began prodding the tip of his cock on it, Applebloom moaning quietly at how he pushed. Pausing he took the moment to laugh a bit. “Your sister is going to kill me for this!” He howled in laughter with her not too far behind getting the joke and laughing too. “Oh well,” He began once they calmed down. “it’s worth it to love you.” Kurai pushed harder, with how wet she was and how lubed he was from her saliva sliding in was still a challenge from how tight she was. Closing her eyes tight she prepared for her virginity to be finally taken by that special somepony or in this case somebody above her. A final push and he was in, popping her cherry. She stifled a scream which was consequently replaced by a moan once the unbearable pain turned into blissful pleasure, confident she was not harmed he began to move his hips, his length stretching, pushing and pulling the vaginal walls. Gripping the grass Applebloom breathed heavily with each time he pushed his length inside her. Holding her wrists to pin her down playfully Kurai started thrusting deeper, to which she responded by wrapping her legs around his waist as if telling him to go rougher. “A-are you enjoying th-this?” He asked between gasps.

“Yes!” She exclaimed. “D-don’t stop!”

Obliging to her demand Kurai began to lengthen the time it take between thrusts, making each pump into her clenched hole feel like a battering ram knocking the gates down to an iron gate. Convulsing on the ground Applebloom was at her sixth orgasm, yet still begging for more. Kurai started ramming hard, his tip slamming against the entrance to her uterus. Biting her lip the amber eyed pony prepared for his big release, every thrust causing her breasts to bounce. However, in her pleasure she did not notice another surprise Kurai had planned, grabbing her wrists together and flipping her over onto her belly he slid out. “Sorry.” He said in a monotone voice before plunging his cock deep in her ass while holding Applblooms wrists behind her back, her legs spread like she’s doing a split.

“Ahh!!! Oh sweet Celestia!” Applebloom screamed, her asshole being stretched and rammed. With only her sweat and juices to lube him she was glad he at least took that into consideration before going bareback on her, like before though the pain turned into pleasure after a few deep thrusts. “I’m so g-gonna get back at you for this!” She joked as Kurai chuckled between breaths at that, not holding anything back on her. Her previously yellow coat of fur around her ass cheeks now a bright crimson from the force of his hips going against them. His speed increases to the point of ludicrous when his hips are nothing but a blur, with a final ram he fills her ass with his seed.

Panting, the knight slides out with residue of his release following behind as a string from her twitching anus, on her knees she sat up to give him a close embrace under the caress of the moonlight.”As long as we both live, I will never leave your side.”

Meanwhile inside the iron tree home Solaire is sat on a chair reading a book with Ratchet laying on the bed nearby reading her own, both look up from their books after the silence. “Are they done yet?” She asked impatiently.

Looking up from his book the sun warrior took a second to listen out for anything. “Yes they are, hehe, classy Kurai. Always going for the backstab to finish something off.” Eyes now on his book while Ratchet only gazed over at him through her glasses with a slightly disturbed look at what he said.
