Polyamorus

Chapter 1

        The night is silent, cold. The city bellow flickers with light but is unheard to me. Beautiful, yet full of unseen trouble.

       I fly down from the cloud and into the castle walls. The sun is beginning to rise over the mountains to the east and my shift is over. I pass the the royal guards that have just begun the day shift.

       I walk through the doors out of the garden and into the halls of the castle, down the hall and into the barracks were I Find my bunk. I store my armor and leave the castle into the city.

       As I walk through the streets I stop at a bar. I've always gone to this bar after a long nights work. As I walk into the pub I'm greeted by the bar tender.

       "Hows it goin' Isk?" Joe asks. "Not to bad, could be worse," I reply. "the usual please," Joe slides me a shot glass of imported griffin whiskey , it has the taste of regular whiskey but twice the amount of alcohol.

       I drink my glass savoring the whiskey, once finished I flip the glass and say goodbye to joe (tipping him before I leave). Before i walk out i notice a white mare laying across the floor, of corse totally drunk.

       I ask joe who she is but he didn't know, said she had a large tab though. Being the stallion I am i ask joe to transfer her tab to mine.

       I lay her across my back and i begin to walk to my apartment. My apartment is nice, I got it after princess luna rewarded me for my service of five years to her, three years over the required time for service.

       We arrive at my apartment, I walk in and lay her in my bed. I retreat to the couch which I fall asleep on within minutes.

       My eyes flutter open to the sound of the city, I'm warm under a big blanket. My head hurts, I wonder how much I drank? A shit-ton probably. Wait weeere am I? Oh shit! Aw no I didn't did I?!? I roll over and out of the bed.

       I stealthily trot over to the door. I peak out to view the surroundings. Everything is clean, thats a good sign. I look over to the couch witch is occupied by a grey colt. Asleep...

       He wasn't in bed with me so I'm assuming that nothing happened. The last thing i remember from last night is passing out at a table.

       The apartment is cool, lots of room. I walk out of the bedroom and into the living room, being sure to not wake the stallion from is rest. I find a hallway leading to a bathroom which reminds me of how much I have to pee. I walk in and close the door locking it.

       After I finish I walk out, and back down the hallway but as I pass another door I see something. I walk back and into the room; inside is a a window taking up the space of an entire wall and another covered in pictures.

       The pictures are all of the stallion and his family, as i look upon the pictures one stands out at the bottom; its a newspaper headed: arson burns office killing seven. The paper went to tell of the criminal and the crime he committed and a list of the seven that died at the bottom.

       It hits me. "Yep, the fire got em," a male voice says. "Happened when I was at school in the 7th grade," the stallion from the couch said.

" i'm sorry,I say back to him.

       "Pulled you outa the tavern." He says. "You ok?" He asks with a questioning look.

"yea I'm fine. Thanks for that." I say back. "So what now?" I ask.

"Im going to walk you home" he says back.

       On the way out Isk told me his name in exchange for mine. We walked through the streets for what seemed like an hour until we got to my apartment, god I hope Octy wont be pissed. We walked into the apartment witch i unlocked with my spare key. "Would you like to come in?" I ask. "Sure." He answers.

       Octy enters into the room,  "vinyl who is this?" She asks. "His name is Isk" I say. "Isk this is octavia, my girlfriend." I say hesitantly. Having same sex relationships are generally frowned apron in equestria but he didn't seem to care.

      "Nice to meet you Octavia, I'm Isk" he says to octavia. We continued to talk for a bit about what had happened and we bid farewell to Isk. As Isk walked out octavia looked at me he's cute," she says after the door closes " and polite," She adds.

"Dibs" I clam.

"you cant do that!" Octavia argues.

"Just did, dibs," I argue back.

"Why cant we share?" She asks.

"Well i suppose we could." I say with a thinking expression. "If I see him again ill get a date, but you owe me," I say. "Deal," octavia says.

       As the sun fades into the west I get up and begin my commute to work. Its been a few days since I helped that mare out, but thats the last thing on mind.

       I have guard duty, yay... guard duty is probably the worst possible thing you can get assigned but someone has to do it. I enter the castle and into the barracks were I reacquire my armor. I exit the castle and take my post at the main gate, and I stand there, and I stand.

"Holy shit, its you!" A familiar voice says. "Didn't think you were a lunar guard," vinyl says. I keep a straight face and look ahead, not moving in the slightest. Vinyl walks over "helllooo? Anyone home?" See says jokingly. I continue to look ahead. She puts something over my head and around my neck. Usually I would have yelled at anyone who tried to do this as it is illegal wile I'm on duty, but I don't. "You should come." She says. She leans in closer getting right next to my face and whispers in my ear "you might have fun".
