“Let the commander know there are no more problems. She has been captured and detained and we will be entering the heart in just a moment.”

“Finish up, I can’t wait to see what these people have hidden away.” A stallion cut in impatiently, giving his slightly older colleague a light slap on his side.

The older stallion nodded once as he continued to focus on his walkie-talkie, “We’ll give you an update when we’re done with our preliminary investigation of the heart. Over and out.” The older stallion started to make his way down the hallway of the ancient tomb. The tomb itself was the discovery of the century. Not just the tomb itself, but more so the fact that a single mare managed to discover in a cave nearby a Griffonian outpost in Mexicolt without being detected for for weeks. At the very least, it was enough time for the mare to find and disarm the myriad of traps leading to the heart of the tomb. Whatever was in the center, someone long ago did not want it to be found.

The two stallions cautiously made their to a set of large double doors at the end of the hallway. The mare had made it this far but had not opened the door, so any traps that potentially laid ahead could still be active. The older stallion opted to open the doors, throwing caution to the wind. He pushed with all his might, grunting against the yellow door, the sound of the stone grinding on stone echoing through the tomb. He stopped once the door was open just enough that they could walk through. He peered cautiously into the other side as the younger stallion slowly approached, starting to get a little excited.

“What’s inside? Does it look like it’s booby trapped?” He asked.

The older stallion responded after a minute of staring into the room, “There’s a large coffin in the center of the room and four statues in corner. The statues look equine in stature, but they have eagle-like faces.” The younger stallion couldn’t contain his curiosity and approached his colleague from behind, nudging his back in an attempt to get him to move out of the way. The older stallion slowly started to step into the room while the younger followed from behind, taking in the interior for himself.

“Looks like an elaborate burial for a king or some kind of ruler.” His gaze stopped to a few spots in behind the coffin. There were a few piles of debris. Looking around, he saw a few spots in the ceiling and floor were damaged. It didn’t seem like the kind of damage a normal pony could do, at least not without some time and tools. Though, he was more concerned about why.

The older stallion took note of his colleagues gaze, “You’ve noticed that too, eh? Let’s go back and report what we found. We’ll get some reinforcements and machines to help carry this thing out of here safely.”

“I’ll be right with you. I wanna stay and get a better look at things.”

The older reluctantly nodded, “Alright then. Be careful.” He took one last look at the room before pulling out his walkie-talkie and leaving.

The younger stallion remained. He slowly approached the coffin, keeping a close eye on the statues in the corner of the room. They were making him feel uncomfortable. Now inches from the room, he was convinced that this room was not booby trapped. He knew he should wait for the other before unveiling the contents coffin and would mostly likely get some flak for doing so, but he could not contain his excitement anymore. He placed his hands side of the lid and started to push, carefully leaning the lid against the coffin. A thick cloud of dust was kicked up in the process. He fanned the air with one hand while coughing into the other. Once the dust had settled enough, he took a look at the prize. He reeled back in shock almost immediately.

Inside was a perfectly preserved green mare, wrapped in bandages in various places around her arms, legs and hips. Her face was bare, save for a few wraps across her head, crossing just under her eyes. The bandages were old and were crumbling to dust in a few areas. He continued to look the mare over as his brain raced to figure how her body could preserved like this for so long using nothing but bandages. He was certain there had to be some kind of special chemical or something in the wraps. He pulled out a camera from his backpack and started to take some pictures of her as well as a few pictures of the room.

As he photographed the statues, the mare began to stir. Her body rose and she looked down at her chest with a smirk, “Thanks for keeping me company for so long, but I think it’s time I move on. There’s plenty of new blood outside.” She quietly whispered to chest. She leaned back, gripping the sides of the coffin as she closed her eyes.

The stallion turned around yelped, nearly dropping his camera as he saw the mare no longer lying down. She sat back up and opened her eyes, looking at the strange stallion in the room. She grunted and stood up. She began to stretch out her limbs as she continued to stand within the coffin. The stallion shook off his bewilderment and called out to the mare while keeping some distance, “A-are… Are you okay? Are you... of this planet? Can you speak Equestrian?” The mare stared at him, cocking her head slightly. He continued, “Are you hungry or anything? We have food back at the camp. Either way, we’d like for you to come back with us so we can take a look at you.” He smiled and beckoned to her. He figured she had no idea what he was saying and at least tried to appear friendly.

“Equestrian? That’s what you call that language?”

“So, you understand me?”

The mare shrugged, “I picked it up from listening to you and that other guy you were with.” She stepped out of the coffin, taking a step towards the stallion, “It’s amazing what this body can do.”

“How much your body can do? Is your body artificial? Is that how your body was kept preserved for so long?” He asked, still eyeing her cautiously.

“Oh this body is all natural.” She said as she ran her hands along her melon sized breasts, down the sides of her hourglass figure and down to her wide, curvaceous hips. She suddenly gave him a seductive look as she rested her hands on her hips and slowly sashayed towards him, “I can show you just how natural it is.”

The stallion blushed, “W-woah, h-hold on. We should at least get you t-”

The mare stopped in front of him, placing a finger against his lips, “Sshhh.” She placed an arm around his neck and press her lips against his. The stallion barely put up a fight and quickly began to explore her mouth, their tongues dancing together. He brought his down to her butt and pulled her closer. After a minute, the mare broke the kiss. “Still a virgin, eh? What a shame it had to be like this.”

The stallion looked at her a bit confused, “What do you mean by that?”

The mare looked him dead in the eyes and gently shifted her right hand over the front of his neck, “Because I’m hungry. I’ve been feeding off that old fool for years. The same meal gets boring after you’ve eaten it so many times in a row, ya know? I need something new.” She finished in a husky tone.

“Wh-what does th-” The mare began to sink her fingers inside his neck. Somehow, her fingers easily pierced through the skin with little effort. The stallion’s hands shot up to meet her arm. He tried to pull her against her arm, but she didn’t budge even an inch. He could feel her fingers slowly digging further inside. The mare began to slowly raise her arm, lifting him up. He struggled against her, legs flailing, arms still trying to pry himself away from her grip but to no avail. He was starting feel something flowing throughout his body and into the fingers currently burrowed inside his neck. As he began to grow weak, he quickly realized that she was draining his blood. She began sauntering back to her coffin. He began trying to kick the mare with all his might, but nothing seemed to have any effect on her. She didn’t seem to acknowledge a single blow from the stallion.

The mare held her left arm out to her side and flexed it a few times, “Oooohh, YES! I finally get to cut loose after all these years! It’s a pity though. I was really looking forward to making everyone back at my old village suffer.” She lowered her left arm and shrugged, “Oh well. No point dwelling on the past. It’s time to look toward the future. Am I right?” She looked up at the helpless stallion she held above her. At this point, he was weakly resting his hands on her arms. He no longer had the strength to do anything. She laughed and began to push his head back. The stallion didn’t have the strength to voice the immense pain he was currently in.

“Sorry we couldn’t spend more time together. But your friend will be back soon. Can’t really do much on such a short time limit. I can wait just a little bit longer to really stretch my body.” Still holding him by the neck, fingers embedded in his skin, she abruptly and violently rotated her hand to the side, breaking his neck instantly. She finished draining his body and tossed his limp body against the coffin. “Hope you don’t mind sleeping outside. I call dibs on the bed.” She giggled and hopped inside the coffin. She grabbed the lid placed back atop the coffin, sealing herself inside once more. From outside, she could hear voices.

“You said he was still in here right? The hell is he doing? Granite?”

“Careful, he hasn’t radioed back since I left, something might ha-”

“OH MY GOODNESS!”

“GRANITE!?”

“He’s been…”

“Nobody come in here! We’ll get this thing hooked up from a safe distance and haul it out.”

“Nobody touch the corpse! Leave him here!”

“Come on people move, move! We have a dead body in an empty room and no culprit, let’s not wait around to find it!”

“Alright, let’s push the other door so we can get to get the coffin from here. No one’s stepping in here unless absolutely necessary.”

“Bring ‘er in, nice and slow!”

The voices continued for some time, as well as a variety of loud, boisterous sounds the mare couldn’t discern. That was none of her concern for now. She could find out later. She had all the time in the world now.

Author's Note

I currently have no proofreader/editor/whatever so I'm just dropping this raw. I've had this idea for a long time and finally decided to get off my lazy ass and start. Here goes nuffin. Will most likely start banging out the second chapter tonight. Will most likely be longer than this. woo
