The Alchemist From The North

It has been a few days ever since Mystogan tried to depart from his friends in order to save himself the heartache that he may or may not have to face down the road of his life. But with Twilight’s and her friends’ actions and words. The stallion couldn’t fight against them or his emotions and what he truly wanted. To be able to stay with them and keep this place as his new home.

The stallion makes his way out of his home with a rather large sack in his right hand. He had been contracted with creating an herbal mixture for the spa bath. Normally, the only things he’d create were either poisons or potions. But it has been quite a long time since anyone has asked of him to make herbal mixtures. Of course, he was only too happy to do it. After all, they are paying him a hefty sum. Once Mystogan locks his door, he begins to make his way onward to the spa with their order in hand.

On his way there, he bumped into Rarity who was actually on her way there to get her ‘usual’. They began to make small talk about what was happening during their day. When she finally took notice of the bag in his hand, a smile of excitement formed across her muzzle. Ever since he had mentioned the mixture to the spa ponies, they have been telling their usual customers about what was going to be coming to the spa soon. And Rarity was certainly ready for it.

“Are those..what I think they are~?”

Mystogan chuckled lowly and nodded while shaking the bag a little to heighten the fashionista’s excitement slightly

“Yes, these are the mixtures I have made for the large bath for the spa. I think you of all mares...and some stallions will appreciate this mix. It will bring your fur to a brilliant shine and make it as soft as silk. And it provides a tingling sensation to the flesh beneath it. You will feel completely rejuvenated by it, I am sure.”

“Ooh, I can hardly wait, dear! Come, let us hurry so that we may get to enjoy your creation!”

She said as she grabbed at his free hand and dragged him along. Mystogan simply pretended to be dragged alongi with her, knowing full well the poor mare couldn’t really make him budge. Plus, he knew she was excited to try his mixture. Little did the stallion know that he was about to create an extremely sizable problem for the population. Namely the male population of the town.

Once Mystogan and Rarity made it to the spa, he opened up the door for her and allowed her to go in first. The sister’s Lotus and Aloe stop in the hooftracks to see her come in and greet her as they usually would. But then As Mystogan ducks to get into the door, his shadow looms over the three of them and they give a look of surprise at first, but then smile to their contracted alchemist. Lotus walks up to him and sees the bag in his right hand and smiles even wider.

“Ah! This must be the new herbal mixture that you have made for us! We are expecting quite a few mares today because of this. Here is your payment!”

She says as she takes the bag from him and holds out the money to him. But he declined it with a hand held up in front of him.

“This is an experimental mixture. I don’t want to take your money just in case something goes wrong. Give it a trial run for today. And if you and the customers like it. I will take the payment and will continue to supply it to you. But, I think you better hurry. Rarity looks like she is going to burst if you don’t start using it now. I will return tomorrow and ask you for the results. In the meantime, I have another delivery to make. A rather...discret product for a store that sells…’ enhancements’ for couples..”

Lotus’ cheeks turned bright red as she covered her muzzle with her right hand, a small giggle coming from her.

“Perhaps I should visit that store myself then~.”

She said in a rather flirtatious manner. She gave him a wink before making her way to stock the empty space on the shelf behind the counter up front. He waves to them all before making his way towards the exit.

“Oh darling! You should stay and enjoy yourself. You always look so tense. I’d be more than happy to cover you this time around! My treat!”

Mystogan gave a half smile and shook his head.

“It is sweet of you to offer. But this kind of stuff isn’t suited to me. But please, enjoy yourself. I need to get back home and work on a few things after this last delivery. You enjoy yourself.”

He said as he finally makes his way out of the door. Soon enough, things were going to get out of hand. And with how many mares go through there a day, it is going to be one hell of a day.

--Five Hours Later--

Mystogan was in the underground of his home writing in an empty book that he had made for his notes. He seemed focused in what he was doing, his eyes narrowed and his concentration solely on his work until he heard what sounded like screams of horror and the sounds of hoofsteps running past the small window of his underground lab. He walks up to the window to see what was going on and tries to listen for what in Equestria was going on.

“RUN! THEY ARE ALL IN SEASON! IT’S EVERY STALLION FOR HIMSELF!!!”

Shouted one of them as they ran past. Mystogan’s ears perked up as the fleeing stallion said ‘in season’. And from what he could see, stallions were being tackled to the ground by mares who had a massively heated blush across their muzzles with the look of sheer lust in their eyes. Female pegasi dive-bombing their male prey and scooping them up from the ground to take them to Celestia knows where. As he continued to watch, he noticed both the spa sisters and Rarity with the same expression on their faces as they tried to grab whatever male they could and drag them off at their mercy. It finally hit him as to what was going on.

“Oh...fuck. I couldn’t have…”

His eyes widen at the chaos he had just created. Discord would be smiling upon him right now.

“This..this is bad. Who knows how many mares have gone the spa today…”

His ears perk again when he hears pounding at his door. The sound of multiple bodies slamming against the door and fists knocking as well. Mystogan makes his way upstairs from his lab and listens quietly as he makes his way to his door and quickly slams the heavy steel sliding locks in place. Thankfully, his windows were too small for anyone to make their way through. From what he could tell, the possible intruders were female with how they were panting, not to mention their scent was strong, VERY strong.

“Myyyyst~. We know you are in there, darling. Why don’t you come on out and keep us some company? Or we can come in there. Whatever you prefer, handsome~!”

There was no mistaking that posh tone of voice. Rarity and a few others have cornered him in his home. And he knew that all this was his fault because he grabbed the wrong bags for the wrong ponies. He couldn’t waste any more time than he already had. If this sudden surge of heat was his doing, he had to disappear for at least until tomorrow morning. He thinks fast on his hooves and makes quite the noise running down to his lab and locking the door there as well and even pulling down the secret metal gate he installed for something as grave as this.

He makes his way over to one of his bookshelves and reaches up to pull at one of the books to reveal a secret exit. However, his plans for escape were foiled when a flash of light filled his lab. And the color of the magic was all too familiar. It was the lavender unicorn, Twilight Sparkle. And that same face the others had was on her features as well.

“M-Mystogan...please. This heat is unbearable! M-my estrus cycle isn't for another six months! I need help...I need you…”

She said with a mixture of both lust and desperation formed in her eyes. The smell of the unicorn’s heat filled his nose as she slowly approached him. He could see her chest heaving up and down as she panted heavily as she inched to him.

“Twilight..you need to regain your senses. You are under the influence of a stupid mistake I did. You really don’t want this...not from me. Just try and fight it and I can whip up something to cure you of this. Just fight it a little longer…”

He said as he put his hands out in front of him to stop her should she get any ideas of tackling him down. Not that she really could anyway, but still. She suddenly leaps at him but doesn’t jump onto him. She takes hold of his ample chest fluff into her hands and continues to look up at him with what little self-control she has left.

“Mystogan...do you not like me..? H-have I done something wrong to you that would make you push me far away? Because...I want to be closer to you...I don’t care if this is your fault or not. I want you and I need you.”

Mystogan lightly places his hands around her upper arms and shakes his head.

“No Twilight, that is the love and lust potion talking. You truly could feel something like that for a pony like me. Your mind is clouded right now…”

Mystogan’s works seemed to not reach Twilight as she pushed herself against him as she climbed up his form to get to eye level with him. His soft body pressing against his chest and her gaze met his own. He could see the lust in her eyes growing slowly. But it seemed that love was growing more quickly than the lust. And he remembers that in his research if the emotion of love was already present in the subject, it would certainly boost the acceleration of that existing emotion. She cradles his jaw into her hands and locks gazes with him. An expression mixed with both love and seriousness on her face. Mystogan gulped hard at this expression of hers.

“It hasn’t clouded my mind at all. If anything, it has shown my feelings for you even better than I ever could. With everything that has been going on with you and my own plate of things I have been doing, I got nervous in telling you how I feel. Please believe me, Mystogan…”

He averts his eyes to the ground away from her. Could this really be true of how she felt towards him and not just the potion talking? He wasn’t sure what to believe. He needed to get out of this situation regardless. While she was distracted, he reaches over to the table beside him and grabbed a needle which held a sleeping serum within its container. He was careful to not hurt her when he injected it into the back of her neck as a frown formed on his face.

“I am sorry, Twilight...but until I hear you say this while you are not under the influence of this potion, I cannot say I feel the same or help you with your physical need…”

Twilight’s eyes widen as she felt the need sink into her neck. Her vision goes fuzzy as her grip on him weakens and her eyes become extremely heavy.

“But I..I lo..love…”

He makes sure that the unicorn falls into his arms as she is induced into sleep. He sighs and makes his way over to the bed he keeps for medical reasons and lays her down on it gently. He looks down at her before turning away from her.

“When you tell me that with your own words, then I will believe you. You and I are safe down here. And the sleeping serum will last for the remainder of the potion’s effects. So rest up, and I will apologize once you wake up.”

With that, he went back to working on his other projects, filling out his notes in the empty book he had been working with earlier. As he worked, he could hear Twilight mumbling in her sleep as she rolled over on occasion. He could hear her say his name over and over with a smile on her muzzle. He quickly gazed away from her and back to his work the only sounds that could be heard were the scribbling sounds of his writing, the crackling of the fire from the torches that lit the room and Twilight’s light snoring. Every now and then, he’d hear the sounds of hoofsteps running past his small window from his lab. He was certainly going to have a lot of explaining to do once all this subsided.

--A few Hours Later--

Mystogan heard the sound of magic gathering in the middle of the room and a bright golden light flashes. He knew exactly who was teleporting into his lab and closes the book before standing up and turning to see Celestia approaching him with a rather displeased look on her face and her arms crossed under her ample bust. The mountain stallion knew what was coming and he was prepared for it.

“Ah, I see the sun has set, finally have time to come assess the situation?”

“Don’t talk of this situation so light-heartedly, Mystogan. Do you understand what has happened here all this afternoon and this evening? Mares are rampaging through the town with uncontrollable heat, jumping every stallion they come across! I don’t know what it’s like up in the mountains, but the gender ratio is extremely off-balance here in the lands below your home! And not to mention all the mares who will become mothers from this! The hospital wi-!”

“You need to calm down, Princess. First off, there will be no involuntary mothers from this accident. The potion is for lust only. To spice up the love life of a mare and her lover. For the duration of the potion, it makes the mare unbreedable so they both her and her partner can enjoy their intimacy without the worry of a child. Besides, it’s not like every mare in town when there today...right? Besides, it’s not like I planned for this. I made a simple mistake in deliveries is all. Besides, only thirty more minutes before it all wears off.

Celestia didn’t really expect Mystogan to have a full explanation on hand right away. She was less angry with him now, even almost relieved. But she was a mare after all. They want to feel their anger is justified.

“I Don’t understand how this could affect so many mares at the same time…”

And of course, Mystogan had the answer to that as well.

“Well, it’s rather simple. The herbal bath mixture was the intended delivery for the spa’s large bath. However, I accidentally handed off the potion I made for the adult shop across town and the hot water created a vapor-like steam when ingested must have taken effect. Luckily, it only works on mares, otherwise, it could have been a lot worse. Your student was taken hold by it as well. But a quick sleep serum into her bloodstream calmed her down. She is resting soundly on the bed over there.”

Celestia looked over to her student and approached her, looking her over before looking back at him.

“Did you-.”

“No, I would never take advantage of a mare under such influence. I want her to be fully aware of what she is doing before she makes that possible mistake.”

“What do you mean by ‘mistake’?”

Mystogan holds his arms out to his sides. Emphasizing his appearance.

“You know exactly why it would be a mistake. You know the issues I have. Not to mention a fully grown mare down here wouldn’t be able to handle the mating process that mountain mares can. And above all, how I get out of control and do the worst. I won’t be able to live with myself. I am already taking a risk by remaining here because of Twilight’s feelings. The last thing I want to do is hurt her. I care greatly for the young mare…”

He said as he walked back over to his table and places his hands on it as he leans forward. Celestia looks over at her sleeping student before walking to his side. But little did they both know, Twilight was awake and listening to Mystogan’s word. It made her sad that he felt like he was a burden to her. It appears that even with how she talked him out of leaving, he still sees himself as a negative force to her. She had to do something about this. Anything she could think of. Her determination to make him happy was now higher than ever before. And she wasn’t going to give up on him. Not now, not ever.
