Monster's Curse

Tame leans down and gently wraps his lips around the wound before gently sucking some of the blood out. He feels a soft hand run through his mane as he continues to suckle the wound. “This is very kind of you sir. Can I know your name?”

He takes his lips off and gruffly states, “I need to focus.”

“No you don’t. You already took care of it.”

Tame glanced back up at the purple mare and saw a soft smile on her face. He crawled up next to her and laid on the rock there. “My name is Tame. Yours?”

“Twilight Sparkle, and it is nice to meet you.” She leans against him and cuddles into her chest. I am tired, and you are strong. Almost like a knight.”
