Chapter 47: Orc Attack Part 1

After helping Silk Sheets with her heat, I went to my room and took a shower. Once clean, I lay on the bed and start reading my spell book. I might of missed lunch, but I ain't going back out there for the rest of the week that's for sure.

After an hour of reading and practice the door opens with Celestia, Luna, and Shella with Mavis in her arms.

"Hello, I take it Silk is doing better now?" I ask.

"Why don't you ask her yourself?" Celestia replies and steps aside.

I see Silk standing by the door with a light blush. "I'm fine, your Majesty. And t-thank you for helping me," she says.

"It's alright, and I said you can call me Adrian," I tell her.

"Oh, right, sorry. Erm..." she stutters for a bit and I raise an eyebrow.

"She wishes to be your personal maid," Luna says bluntly.

I look at Silk wide eyed. I help her with her heat and now she want's to be my personal maid? "Why?" I ask.

"She want's to thank you for helping her when nopony else would," Celestia tells me.

I sigh. "Alright, what would she do as my maid?" I ask and sit on the edge of the bed.

"She'll run errands for you, bring you any meals, clean our room and anything else you may ask within reason," she tells me.

I don't see a problem with that, she could bring me my meals while I hide in our room until the end of the heat season. "Alright then," I say and look at Silk. "Could you bring me something to eat then since you stopped me from getting lunch earlier," I ask her with a smile.

She blushes harder and nodded. "W-What would you like me to g-get?" she asks.

"A salad with no hay or flowers, a piece of crumb cake and a cup of earl-grey tea please," I reply.

"I-I'll be back in a few m-minutes," she says and leaves.

The others all look at me once she's gone. "What's the real reason she wants to be my maid," I ask them with a deadpan expression.

Celestia just sighs. "We believe she's developed feelings for you. To a mare's instincts, a strong stallion, or in your case a large male, means she'll be well protected and since you helped her in an intimate way, and from what we heard very well performed, she's subconsciously picked you as her mate it seems," she tells me calmly.

I frown. "I thought you said she wouldn't be joining our herd... That this was just me helping to relieve her discomfort," I say.

"True, but I forgot to take into account that she is young and was a virgin. A mare’s first time can cloud their minds and imprint the pony who mates with them in their mind," she tells me.

Great, so now I'm going to have Silk following me around everywhere probably. "So what's going to happen then?" I ask.

"We'll figure that out after we see where this goes," she tells me and lays on the bed beside me... wonderful... these ponies and their openness about sex and relationships are going to be the death of me...

Luna then cuddles up on my left side and smiles. I put my book away as I can't read it with them watching as well. Shella sits on the bed with Mavis giggling at her.

Ten minutes of Celestia reassuring me it will all be fine later. Silk returns with a tray with my food on it. I smile as she places it on my lap where Celestia and Luna begin to feed me with it. Despite the matter with Silk right now, life is going good.

One Week Later

Silk has kept to her word and has answered my every beck and call... which was mainly just bringing me food as I holed myself up in my bedroom. She's also good at massages when she offered to give me one, she's almost as good as those twins from the Ponyville Spa, though she was much more thorough with my backside than they were.

Heat season has come and gone, which meant my parents, Jasmine, and Lily have come back from Elysium. Lily had a lot of fun seeing new things and meeting new races.

Celestia and Luna have talked with their parents some more and they're as happy as can be. They've also kept me company over the week I was hiding now and then.

I can now channel two shadow elements at once now. It seems the effect on my eyes increases as well as the distorted tone of my voice with it, but other then that, no nasty side effects... I wonder where Nightmare Moon has wandered off to. I can only hope she's far away from us right now.

Shella's just a few days away from laying her eggs and mom was stunned to learn I've technically had nine children with her, but Shella told her why and mom accepted it.

Celestia's stomach is now noticeable for all to see and she's taken to wearing shirts as her dresses can no longer fit over her stomach. Her hormones are also playing up more as she's now at the stage of throwing things at me. I had to dodge a cup as she was crying saying that I made her fat... After ten minutes of calming her down, her mood switched and she dragged me off the our bedroom where I was subjected to three hours of making love to her.

I also asked Celestia why she and the others liked to lick my sweat off me. She says it tastes salty, and in which can make them kinda drunk if they have too much of it. I guess ponies just like the taste of salt.

POV: Silk Sheets

I wake up in my bed in the maid's quarters. I yawn and smile, remembering the feeling of Adrian helping me during my first heat. He was so strong yet gentle, and he made me feel so good when all he had to do was relieve me. Yet he brought me over five times and filled me twice... every day since then I've wanted him to hold me in those strong arms again, making me feel safe and wanted. I've never had a coltfriend before, I was always too shy to ask anypony to court me.

I was so happy when he let me massage him. To be able to feel those strong muscles in my hands and the thought of helping him relax brings a smile to my face.

I shake my head, knowing that can't have him. He's married to the Queens and I would be just getting in the way, as long as I can just stay near him I'll be happy.

I get up and take a shower, I then brush my mane, tail, and my teeth. Once clean, I put on my maid uniform and head to the kitchen to bring Adrian and the Queens breakfast.

"Good morning, Cream Cake. How are you today?" I greet the head chef. The other cooks aren't here yet as it's Cream who makes breakfast for Adrian and the Queens.

She looks up from the counter she's at and smiles at me. "I'm doing well. I've heard tale that you've gotten lucky during the heat season... That a certain King helped to relieve you?" she replies and smirks making me blush and stutter. "Oh relax, from what I heard, any mare would've loved to be in your position. The other maids could hear your cries of pleasure throughout the whole Castle and for nearly an hour they said," she teases me.

I look down in embarrassment, was I really that loud? But those memories flood my thoughts again and I smile.

She giggles at me. "Oh? It was that good that you can't get it out of your mind?" she teases me again.

I sigh with a smile. "It was wonderful," I say. "I've never felt so good before, and he was so loving and gentle... I'd do anything to feel it again," I tell her.

"I bet you would. Maybe if you just ask, the King would indulge you?" she says and giggles.

I stare at her wide eyed. "Do you think so?" I ask her.

"Maybe? Then again he is married to two alicorns and a changeling Queen... You'll just have to ask and see. Maybe he can relieve you again during the spring heat," she replies. "Now I take it you're here to bring them their breakfast?" she asks.

I nodded. "Yes, is it ready yet?" I reply and ask.

"It is, it's over there on the trolley," she tells me.

"Thanks, Cream. I'll see you when it's time for lunch," I say and push the trolley out the room.

"Don't forget to ask him! You won't know until you do!" she shouts back at me.

I blush again and make my way to Adrian's room. Should I ask him? Or would I be asking for too much?

POV: Adrian Stormsword

I yawn and hold my wives closer to me. I look at the clock and see it's five forty in the morning so I shake my wives awake and they grumble in protest.

"Come on you lazy bums, time to get up," I tell them and shake them harder.

"Enough of thy shaking, we are up," Luna mumbles and sits up.

"*Yawn* Do we have to get up? I'm rather comfortable right here," Celestia tells me.

"Five more minutes," Shella mumbles. She's laying on her back as she can't lie on her stomach, her head is using my stomach as a pillow.

"Well, you have twenty minutes to get dressed and raise and lower the Sun and Moon," I tell them. Shella sits up and rubs her eyes. I roll over Luna, making her giggle and pinch my ass.

I stand up and stretch my arms and legs as a knock on the door gets my attention. I walk over and open the doors to see it's Silk with our breakfast.

"I've brought you your breakfas..." she trails off and looks down with a bright blush. I follow her gaze and see why. I'm so comfortable sleeping nude with my wives that I forgot that I'm naked right now.

"Oh, erm. One moment please," I tell her and close the door. The others giggle at me and I give them a playful glare. I quickly get dressed and open the doors again. "Come in, thanks for bringing us breakfast again," I say to her.

"Y-You’re welcome," she replies with a heavy blush.

Celestia and the others seem to not mind being naked in front of Silk. They make their way to the closet and get dressed.

"How are you this morning?" I ask Silk.

"Oh, erm. I-I'm doing good," she says and stands by the doors. The others return and we begin eating breakfast. Celestia is wearing a pink shirt and a pair of her gym shorts, Luna is wearing her black and silver trimmed dress, and Shella is wearing a light blue dress with floral patterns on it.

Once we finish, my wives say goodbye as they head out to do their own things. Luna is holding court, Celestia is working through paperwork in her Office, and Shella is heading to the Hive to prepare for laying her eggs.

I stay behind to equip my armour and bring my spell book to the Training Grounds for some more practice. I really want to be able to cast five elements at once so I can get stronger.

"A-Adrian? Can I a-ask you something?" Silk asks me.

I look at her and raise an eyebrow. "What is it?" I reply.

She gulps, takes a deep breath and looks around as if debating to ask me or not. "I-If I asked, would you r-rut me again? I keep r-remembering our time t-together... a-and I want to e-experience it again. You make me f-feel safe when I'm near y-you," she tells me with closed eyes, her face completely flushed red.

I just stare at her and sigh. I bloody knew it! "I don't know. I'm still trying to adjust to having multiple partners, and the fact Celestia let us have sex at all as well. Look, it's not that I don't like you. You're beautiful and a hard worker, I'm not sure about all this myself. If anything, you'll have to ask Celestia about it," I tell her. She looks a little upset but didn't say anything. I walk over to her and give her a gentle hug, making her squeak. "You've been very helpful over the last week. If anything, I consider you a friend. So show me a smile, I'll need you to bring me refreshments while I continue my training today alright?" I tell her to cheer her up.

She smiles and looks up at me. "Okay, but, if w-we could... would you?" she asks.

Oh gods that pleading look she's giving me is breaking my heart. "If the others are fine with it... then sure," I reply and sigh again. I swear the women here will be the death of me in a year or two.

She smiles brightly and follows me to the Training Grounds.

Three Hours Later

I practice channelling five life elements, since it won't hurt me should it fail. It's the safest method of learning to channelling more elements.

So far I'm getting used to it, but it's still destabilizing after a few seconds of trying to hold it. Silk has brought me some bottles of water and happily watches me practice.

I was about to resume when a guard runs up to me. "Your Majesty! King Vortigan is here and he needs your help. Orcs are attacking Elysium and he's requested our aid," he tells me.

Orcs are attacking again? "Take me to him now," I say to the guard and then turn to Silk. "Silk, could you clean up my room for me? I'll probably be gone for awhile, so could you also help Celestia with anything she needs?" I ask her.

"Okay, Adrian." She bows and heads towards the Castle. She's gotten a lot more comfortable calling me by name now.

"Let's go," I tell the guard and he salutes. We head to the Throne Room where Vortigan is waiting with Luna. "What's going on?" I ask him.

"Adrian. Orcs are attacking Elysium again, this time with a bigger force. They've never attacked this quickly again after their last attack..." he tells me.

"How many are there?" I ask.

"Around thirty-thousand... and that's just the orcs. They've also got about two-thousand beasts with them, even ogres," he tells me.

Shit, ogres? "Really? Hmmm, do you have any of those airships built yet?" I ask him.

"No, our researchers are still looking at the plans and figuring out how they work. They're impressed by what they can see so far," he replies.

"Damn. Luna, is there a way we can send some of ours to Elysium?" I ask her.

"Nay, we do not have a portal big enough to send them through," she tells me.

"Could Twilight make one? Or could you make a bigger one?" I ask.

She looks thoughtful for a few seconds. "Tis possible. Twilight did leave us with the instructions but it may take us some time," she tells me.

"Vortigan, how long until the orcs arrive," I ask him.

"A day at most," he tells me.

"Alright. We'll gather what guards we can spare and help with the defence," I say.

Luna then speaks up. "Thou should take Captain Shining Armour with thee as well. He can erect a shield over thy City to protect it for some time," she tells us.

I just stare at her. "He can do that?" I ask stunned.

"Yes, did he not tell thee?" she replies.

I just shake my head.

"That would be a great advantage. How long would this shield last?" Vortigan asks.

"Until his horn starts to strain from the constant use, or something stronger breaks through the shield and judging from the amount of magic in Terra's atmosphere, it will be three times stronger than normal," Luna tells him.

"Perfect. We've already got cannons, marksmen, and mages on the walls with ground troops and siege engines at the ready. Anything you could offer would be welcomed," he replies.

"And once we have found a way to bring our airships, we shall join thee in battle," Luna says.

"Thank you," Vortigan says. "I'll leave some soldiers near the portal to direct where your guards need to go. I shall be waiting for you in my Throne Room," he tells us and leaves the room with his guards.

"Luna, can you get started on that portal right now?" I ask her.

"Yes, but I think we will only be able to bring the sloops with us," she says.

"That's fine. Having air support will be a great advantage," I tell her. Though I would love to have the galleon to join us.

"I'll go gather the Captains and get the guards ready, see you in Elysium!" I tell her and head to the Barracks.

Two Hours Later

I've gathered Hammer Strike and one-hundred of his guards, thirty of them using the scatterguns. Spitfire with one-hundred of her guards, fifty of them armed with rifles and the rest with bows or spears. Bright Mind with one-hundred unicorns. Dark Wing with fifty thestrals and Shining Armour with four-hundred guards of mixed race, including five changelings.

In total, seven-hundred and fifty guards. It took an hour to get them through the portal and set up to defend Elysium.

The unicorns are on the wall ready to fire their spells and have set up newly developed crystal cannons that fire crystal balls infused with magic that detonate on impact. They got the idea after seeing the crystal I tried infusing with the fire element go off.

The pegasi have set up clouds to shoot from all over the field where the orcs are coming from, that made all the Terrans stare in awe as they flew around pushing and reforming the clouds.

The earth ponies are with the foot soldiers to protect the walls and stop the orcs from getting in. The juggernauts at the front lines are nearly twice the size of the ponies.

Reymorah has seven-thousand ground troops and five-thousand ranged and magic troops on the walls. The rest of their army is out in the Kingdom protecting its citizen from bandits and up to class eight monsters.

Me, Vortigan, Shining, the other Captains, and Reymorah's own Captains and generals are around a table with a map of Elysium and it's defences.

"So how are we going to do this?" I ask.

"I'll have the juggernauts protecting the front lines and blocking the orcs advances. We'll have your's and our squads of scattergunners behind them shooting between their shields," Vortigan says, pointing to the front of the walls we will be defending. "Your pegasi snipers shall take out targets of opportunity and keep an eye out for any orcs that look like they're giving commands."

"My shield can last for five hours before my horn starts to give out," Shining tells us.

"Then we better do as much damage to the orcs as we can. Their last attack was only ten-thousand strong. How they gathered this many in only two weeks..." Vortigan says with a frown as trails off.

We discuss the rest of the plan and wait for the orcs to arrive.

Next Day, 2:37 PM

Vortigan and I are standing on the walls overlooking the battlefield as I can see the orc army marching towards us. Oh shit, that's a lot more than I thought it would look like. The ogres are like small houses.

"All soldiers! Prepare for battle!" Vortigan yells out.

A roar of determination sounds out over the field as the troops prepare for the upcoming fight.

"I hope Luna gets that portal open soon," I say to myself.

Horns start sounding out from the orcs and they begin charging us. Airships or not, looks like we'll have to fight without them.
