The Fearless Warrior

Steel Head was surrounded by many mares and some colts too. They all were amazed by his tale of how he fought against the Hydra and almost died. He has lost his account on how many times he repeated the story and every time it was slightly different... Some versions he even knocked out one of the Hydra's head, others he saved Eravel from being caught by the Hydra's fire breath... And even one that he was the one who actually defeated the monster. He thanked Rarity in his mind for the amazing design of his armor since good part of his success in attracting so much attention was because of it. The feeling of emptiness was gone by now, with all those ponies around, smiling and making him feel the most awesome being in Equestria.
After talking so much with everypony around, Steel Head just went to the table where the drinks were.

"Enjoying the party dear?" He heard a well known voice.
"Very." Steel Head said turning to see Rarity. "Most of it thanks to you and your design for the new armor… mares are going crazy!" He chuckled and she giggled.
"I need to admit… You are very handsome in that armor. Just hope you choose the right mares this time" She smiled at him.

"Yeah yeah… don't worry… I won't get close to Octavia again." He said and drank a sip of his drink, trying to swallow that cursed feeling of emptiness that started to crawl on his throat at the thought of the mentioned mare. Rarity felt an annoyed tone on his voice and got a little worried.

"Is everything alright dear?" She asked, afraid of having said something wrong.

"Hm? Sure… Nothing to worry about…" He said. But it was an obvious lie. Rarity looked at him and saw Steel Head wandering with his eyes through the crowd of ponies, probably lost in thoughts… But he was not.

The white royal guard wandered with his eyes until he found the stage where the musicians were playing. Among them he saw the gray cellist, Octavia. She was on her hind legs and her eyes closed, focused on the music she was playing. Next to her were Lyra and also Vinyl Scratch. The three mares playing a mix of electronic music and classic. It was a really fluid and nice song they were playing, making almost everypony near the stage dance. But Steel Head didn't care. He had eyes only for the gray mare, the only mare who ever did something as nice as stay with him every single day in the hospital, even when he was sleeping.

That feeling of emptiness came with full force now. His chest started to hurt… as if somepony had grabbed his heart and squeezed it. He shut his eyes and turned to the other side… Was Octavia the reason that he was feeling this bad? No… it couldn't be… He was not a stallion of a single mare, he never was. Love, after all, was only an illusion… it could only lead to a path of pain and frustrations. No… all he needed was some new mare to feel alright again. With that in mind, Steel Head took a deep breath and looked around.

Not far away from the table, he saw a cute filly with pink mane and white fur. He drank the rest of his drink in a single gulp.
"Well, I got to go now Rarity… another time we can talk" He said smiling to the white unicorn and then trotted towards the white earth pony. Rarity was left behind, totally confused.

"Hi there…" Steel Head said approaching the white filly. She looked at him and smiled.

"Hi… You must be Steel Head… It's a pleasure to meet a hero." The filly said.
"Heh, not that much. I only did what I was supposed to do." He said smiling in a seductive way towards her. "What is your name?"

"Am I that important for a hero to ask my name?" She asked giggling.
"Yes if I'm flirting with you" Steel Head chuckled and got closer to her. "Can you give me the honor of walking a little with me?" He asked standing next to her.
"Would be my pleasure..." She said and started to walk with Steel head "And you can call me Sweet"

Not far from them, Rarity just watched as both started to walk away. She saw Steel Head looking back one last time, towards the stage where the musicians were, and then blending in the crowd of ponies on the festival. She frowned her eyebrows... there was something wrong here... something very wrong...

First thing I saw in there was that the entrance hall was very simple and was not decorated. Probably no one knew that the princess would use that space. In the middle of the room, Celestia and Luna were side by side, watching me as I walked closer. Both had a neutral expression on their faces. It was impossible to know what they were thinking. Twilight walked near Celestia and turned to look at me too... Those three mares looking at me in that way... it was really intimidating.

"What do you think of your new armor Eravel?" Luna asked and smiled, finally showing some kind of emotion.
"I liked it a lot. Thank you... especially the helmet... Discord said..." I stopped my phrase and felt a knot in my throat. Far as I know, Twilight didn't knew about Discord at all! I looked at the princesses and then to the purple unicorn. She kept her serious expression looking at me. It was not anger... it was coldness.
"Don't worry... She knows about Discord now..." Celestia said and I breathed again in relief. But when I looked at Twilight again she pierced me with her eyes and then looked away.

"Putting that aside... I hope you have some answers now..." The white alicorn started to say "Discord didn't say much about the conversations you had with him, and he said that he won't reveal anything either... so, we are here to ask direct to you. We want to know what are you... and what happen when you arrived here, and also, what happen when you fought the Hydra."

I looked them and scratched the back of my head. What they wanted to know... even I didn't have the answers! But at least I had a better view of the situation.

"Well, as you may know, I'm a human and I'm not from this world..." I started... from the obvious, yes, but I had to star from some point. "Where I'm from, there is a legend about my people that says we have dragon blood in our veins... and when we face great peril, some of us can awake this power. But as we do so, our mind suffers because our bodies can't hold so much power... My father he... He died like this..." I made pause... to think of what to say next... About what I discovered of the alicorn sisters... and about myself.

"But you said yourself that dragons don't exist in your world... how can you possibly have dragon blood in you?" Luna asked now.
"We don't have real dragons... but we have legends about them..." I answered. "And now I know that I don't have such a thing in me. Discord showed me what it is... what I truly have... He explained me about chaos and order... the origins of the Elements of Harmony... and the truth about Nightmare Moon..." I saw Twilight looking at me and then to Celestia... she looked really confused but the alicorn didn't seemed to notice or didn't cared, so I continued "...and after all that I understood that I'm something that should never exist here in Equestria... My heart is contaminated by all the bad emotions from my world, and probably, the attack from the hydra was my fault." I said finally.

"And what makes you think that the Hydra's attack was your fault?" Luna asked.

"Discord said that the monsters started to appear thanks to his influence in this world... And you changed because of him too… so probably the Hydra was lured out of the forest because it felt the same energy coming from me..." That was a conclusion that came to me after I realized that I was also contaminated.

"That's probably true…" Celestia spoke stepping forward. "…but that don't change the fact that you are here now. You are living among us, and created strong bounds that cannot be ignored. The simple solution is to simply banish you to the forest or someplace else, far from us…" I gulped, hearing that…I didn't wanted to be far away from my new find friends… specially Rainbow Dash. "But I'll not do that…" Celestia said in a sigh. "Is not fair with you and it's not fair with your friends too. So we'll need to think of something else…"
"What about the Elements of Harmony?" I asked. "They purified Luna when she was Nightmare Moon and could turn Discord into stone… maybe they could clean me too…"
"Or it could kill you… turn you into a stone or send you to the moon…" Luna said now. "The Elements have the sole purpose to establish balance, to bring Order where there is too much Chaos… And if even Discord said that you have too much chaos in you…well… I think you can get the picture."
"She's right; using the Elements in you can be very dangerous… For now, we just need to think an alternative to reduce or maybe eliminate that chaotic side of yours." Celestia started. "For now, just try to keep your calm and control over your emotions… I don't want you going in another rampage and endanger the ponies around."
I just nodded in response.

"Good… now if you excuse me and my sister, we need to go back to the festival…" Celestia said and walked out, followed by her sister.

I looked at Twilight sparkle and she stared back at me with a serious expression… an awkward silence surrounding us... When that situation started to get almost unbearable she spoke.

"So… Is there anything else that you and the princesses were hiding from me?"
"Well… no, I don't think so…" I said scratching the back of my head. "Sorry for not telling you all this on that night… Is just…"
"That's ok… I understand…" Twilight cut my phrase "You couldn't right? My mentor probably didn't want me to know that…." She said and was very clear to me that she was a little hurt with the idea of her mentor hiding information from her like this.
"No, the Princess had nothing to do with this..." I said kneeling to be in the same level as her head. "I didn't tell this to anyone... I didn't want anyone getting worried with me, thinking that I had some kind of sickness... I'm sorry for not being honest with you before." I wasn't. Not at all... These were very private information, I didn't felt really comfortable sharing it with others like that... But she was hurt because of her mentor, this was very clear, and to avoid hurting her more I choose to lie, and say that I was sorry.

I looked at her, waiting for an answer... She looked in my eyes and just smiled
"That's ok... I... I kind of understand your reasons..." She said finally and approached me, putting her neck on my shoulder and I warped her neck with my arms in a brief hug.

The door suddenly slammed open with a loud noise making me and Twilight look back fast. I saw Rainbow Dash coming inside, standing a few inches from the ground while flying.
"Eravel! there you a-..." She stopped before finishing her phrase. I let go of Twilight and stood up.
"Hey Dash" I smiled at the cyan filly but noticed something really wrong. Her smiled shrank and she frowned her eyebrows.
"Sorry... sorry to interrupt..." Rainbow Dash said and dashed out of the room. She had a really nervous tone on her voice. I saw Twilight looking at her friend, really lost in what had just happen. I wasn't sure of what I had happen either and just arched an eyebrow.

Sweet was pressed against her home's door by Steel Head. Their snouts were pressed against each other in a passionate kiss. His tongue inside her mouth, dancing with her's. She reached to the door's knob and opened it. Quickly she stepped back to avoid the fall and got inside, walking to her living room. The room had a single big couch and a center table with some flowers. The rest of the room was well decorated but still had a touch of modesty.

Sweet got her dress of and jumped on the couch, laying on her side, looking at the royal guard in a seductive way. Steel head stripped his armor and approached her... She moved her head to approach her snout and both started to kiss again. He put one hoof on her belly and she lifted one of her hind legs. He slowly rubbed her belly, moving his hoof down until he had reached her special place and started to rub slowly, just teasing her... Sweet let out a muffled moan.

He started to move his hoof over her clitoris in a circular motion. She gasped and broke the kiss. Her nether starting to get all soaked from the arousal. Steel Head grinned and moved his snout over her body, kissing every inch of her chest... stomach, belly... slowly approaching her private parts. His hoof moved away and then he approached her soaked nether...

She bit her lip in anticipation and closed her eyes. A soft moan escaped her when the royal guard pressed his tongue against her clitoris, moving in a circular motion... his tongue went a little down and then pressed against her entrance and slowly going inside. She gasped as she felt the wet member moving in her cave and his lips pressing against her labia... Steel Head was devouring her private parts, drinking of her love juice and enjoying the sound of her moans. Soon his shaft was hanging under his body, full grown and very hard.

He kept his tongue in her, using his upper lip to press her clitoris. Her moans started to grow louder and louder as she was losing herself in lust and pleasure.

"w-wait...! a-ahn!... D-don't... don't go so fast!" She said between moans as he was moving his tongue in a circular motion in her cave, driving her insane. She let out a cry of pleasure and arched her back when she hit a climax. Steel Head's mouth was filled with all her love juices and he drank it all, savoring all her sweetness... 'Now I understand why ponies call her sweet'... He thought.

The royal guard pulled his head away from her, licking his lips and looked at the panting mare on the couch. He loved to do that... make the mare hit a climax and THEN start the 'main event'. He jumped on the couch and she rolled on her back, with her hind legs spread for him. She looked down, watching as his length approached her soaked nether. She bit her lip and closed her eyes again. She felt a soft touch of the tip of his stallionhood on her entrance... and then he shoved all the way inside her cave.

She screamed in pleasure and arched her back again. Steel Head bit her neck softly and started to move his hips, almost taking his length out of her and then shoving back inside. Every thrust he made she could see stars and felt jolts of pleasure. Her forehoof warped around his neck and she started to pant heavily.
He started to grunt and moan too, after a few thrusts. His body being assaulted by those strong waves of pleasure, making him move faster and faster, thrusting with all his might. She squeezed his length inside her as another climax started to build... he could feel her walls contract around his member in a constant rhythm until she hugged him tight, moaning out loud as another climax hit her. He shoved all his length inside her and started to cum. Thick streams of hot sperm poured inside her. He let out a hard grunt as his climax burst... and as he looked at Sweet he saw Octavia... for just a split of second... but that was enough to ruin that great sensation of the after sex.

Rainbow Dash flew as fast as she could... The sun has starting to approach the horizon now, and the moon was high in the sky... She didn't know what was happening. Her chest hurt a lot, her vision was all blurred by hot tears. She never felt so sad before and by something so... stupid! She just saw Eravel hugging Twilight, both were her friends, it was normal that they had a hug sometimes wasn't? So why did she felt so horrible by just watching them like that? The cyan filly simply flew faster and faster... Her dress ripped by her speed and fell, but she didn't cared. Rainbow Dash just wanted to fly until her wings could not move anymore.

She landed in a cloud, after long minutes of flight without direction, just going forward. Ponyvile was really far now and she noticed that she almost reached Canterlot. Her eyes stung a little after flying for so long while crying. Rainbow crossed her forelegs and just laid there, thinking. Her mind wandered at that scene... She and Eravel in the balcony, watching the sunset... their faces coming closer and closer... then the image of him hugging Twilight appeared and she felt angry at her friend. How dare Twilight hug her... mate...?
"Did I just...?" Rainbow Dash blinked a few times... She just thought of Eravel as her mate! But... he was not even a pony! How can that be!

She took a deep breath and closed her eyes... As she thought in Eravel again her heart raced... and then, she imagined him hugging Twilight and felt her chest hurting a little with anger to see him with another mare. She opened her eyes suddenly breathing fast. She liked Eravel... not like a friend... more than that! She looked at the horizon and saw the sun starting to disappear... the scenario was just like her dream where Eravel was a dragon... and she said that both were dating... With that memory in mind, she slowly started to fly to her home... she didn't wanted to see anyone right now, just wanted to be alone with her thoughts.
