Game of Thrones: Equestria

It was just another day in Ponyville and the citizens were continuing on their day without a care in the world. In the Castle of Friendship, Twilight had invited Spike over for their usual hangouts, which involved Spike simply helping Twilight reorganize her library for the 20th time. Spike stood there in the room with a large stack of books as Twilight used her magic to file each one alphabetically. Normally, one would be immensely bored after doing it so many times, but Twilight wasn’t one of those mares to decline yet another book organization.

“Twilight, how can you possibly think that this is fun? I’ve seen you do this so many times, you shouldn’t need anypony to help you in the first place,” Spike sighed.

“True but it’s more fun when my number one assistant helps me.” Twilight smiled as she shelved a few more books.

“Plus you can consider this training for carrying all those baby supplies you’ll need. It’s almost time for the big day.”

“Yeah, I know,” Spike smiled.

“Rarity has been spending most of the time off her legs. I honestly can’t wait until my son gets here.”

“I’m sure you’ll make a great father, Spike, I know it and so does everypony else. I even look forward to teaching my new nephew all about the wonders of science and magic!” Twilight chirped, making Spike roll his eyes.

“Ugh, remind me to make sure my son doesn’t end up a nerd like you,” Spike said.

“Hey! Nerds are well liked, thank you!”

“Yeah? Then why don’t you have a coltfriend yet?”

“I can date whoever I want!” Twilight huffed.

“Whoever huh? Even Dimitri?” Spike asked, making Twilight gasp and almost lose balance on her ladder.

“Wh-What does he have to do with this?!” Twilight snapped.

“I heard from AJ that he’s dating his world’s Twilight, maybe that means something for you?” Spike smirked.

“Well he is attractive but I can’t just date someone who’s from another world. It rarely works out in fairy tales.”

“Then what about Flash Sentry? He seems nice.” Spike’s suggestion made Twilight lose focus for a second as several books came crashing down.

“F-Flash…?” Twilight murmured.

“I haven’t really spent time with him over the years, would he even like me?”

“I don’t see why not, he is also Shining’s personal student. I’ve also talked with him a few times, he’s an alright guy unlike that Comet Trail creep from a few years ago.”

“Ugh. Comet Trail. Worst date ever!” Twilight groaned after shelving the last of the books.

“I hate that being a princess means I have to meet potential suitors.”

“It’s not all bad. You get chocolates!” Spike smiled before grabbing one of the mentioned chocolates for a snack.

“You always know how to brighten the mood, Spike,” Twilight giggled as she shelved the last book. Suddenly, the doors burst open and Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, and Apple Bloom came rushing in looking around the room until they saw Spike.

“Spike! There you are!” Scootaloo cried as they ran up to him.

“Ya gotta come with us right now! It’s an emergency!” Apple Bloom said.

“Why? What’s wrong?” Spike wondered.

“WHAT’S WRONG?! RARITY’S WATER BROKE! SHE’S GOING INTO LABOR!” Sweetie Bell shrieked.

“WHAT?!?” Twilight and Spike yelled in unison before bolting out the door and straight towards the exit.

“TWILIGHT! CALL RAINBOW AND APPLEJACK! THEY GOTTA BE HERE FOR MY SON’S BIRTH!” Spike yelled as they ran.

“I got it!” Twilight nodded as she fished out her holo crystal and dialed up for Applejack.

Meanwhile, at the castle in Canterlot, the royals and Beorn’s friends were all standing at the port awaiting the ship that had Beorn and Crysta on it. Antoinette could not join them as she had to deal with her own private affairs with Jacques. Applejack and Rainbow Dash both had excited smiles on their faces for their son’s return and even Chrysalis was smiling behind her fan for the return of her daughter. As they waited, Luta was giving Dimitri the stink eye after her morning sickness that lasted for over a half hour.

“Luta, you gotta understand that this is what you signed up for when you wanted to be a mom,” Lock sighed.

“You can’t hold a grudge against me for how your body reacts to pregnancy.”

“Oh but I am! Look at me! I’m fat, I’m sick and I’m downright miserable!!” Luta snapped while Thora placed a hand on his shoulder and sighed.

“It’s a mood swing, love. It’ll pass.”

“How long will that-mmf!”

Lock was interrupted when Luta grabbed his jacket and pulled him in for a kiss and forced her tongue in his mouth and gave him a lustful gaze.

“Uh, feeling better?” Lock asked.

“Very~,” Luta purred.

“Ship coming in!” A guard called out.

All heads soon turned to see a large airship flying in and descending from the sky. The staff rolled out a red carpet and horns were played as the ship landed and the gangplank was lowered. The young king and his mates walked out and down the plank to visit his family and loved ones. Rainbow smiled cheerfully at her son as she and her herd mates noticed not just Crysta on his arm but Azurys on his other.

“Looks like someone’s been busy on the west front,” Dimitri whispered to Rainbow.

“That’s my boy.” She whispered back as a royal herald stepped forward.

“ANNOUNCING THE RETURN OF KING BEORN! LONG LIVE THE KING IN THE NORTH!!”

The crowds cheered and chanted as he walked down the carpet looking taller and more grizzled from his days of constant battle yet his family smiled at him more prouder than ever. He had become the spitting image of his father.

“THE KING IN THE NORTH! THE KING IN THE NORTH!”

Beorn finally made it to the bottom and his friends were the first to greet him.

“Beorn! Good to see you, man,” Imperius smiled as they fist bumped.

“Hi Beorn! You got taller!” Gummy chirped.

“A great pleasure to greet you, Sir Beorn,” Top said with a curt nod.

“What kind of a greeting is that?” Beorn smirked before wrapping Top in a bear hug.

“Come here!”

“Oh! Uh yes...good to see you my friend.”

As Beorn set Top down, his mothers and godfather were next to greet him. Lock smirked and grabbed Beorn in a headlock and rubbed his knuckle on his head.

“You’re gone for over two weeks and you can’t even foresee when I do this? You’ve still got a lot to learn, kid!” Lock chortled as he dug his knuckle in Beorn’s scalp.

“Oh uncle?” Beorn called out before slamming him onto the carpet.

“How’s that for a lesson?” The young king grinned while dusting his hands off.

As the others laughed up a storm, Lock smiled as he picked himself up and looked to Beorn.

“You’ve gotten much stronger, kid,” Lock said proudly as he placed a hand on his shoulder.

“Your father would be so proud.”

Beorn’s breath hitched a bit until he cleared his throat and nodded to Lock. Rainbow stepped forward and wrapped her arms around Beorn with Applejack following suit.

“Hey there, my baby boy, I missed you,” Rainbow said.

“Hi mom.” Beorn smiled as they hugged.

“My turn, sugarcube.” Applejack said as she squeezed him from behind.

“Ohh I missed you! MMMM!!”

“Ma! You’re crushing me!”

“You know how I am when it comes to hugging, mister, so just shut your yap and take it,” Applejack said as she squeezed him tight.

As they reconnected, Crysta approached her mother and they engaged in their own hug.

“Hello mother, I have returned,” Crysta said.

“Welcome back my daughter.” Chrysalis kissed her forehead with a warm smile and held her hands.

“I hope your betrothed didn’t expose you to too much violence over there. We heard the stories.”

“Nothing my lover couldn’t handle,” Crysta winked.

“Oh! And I have some news to share.”

Crysta stepped towards Beorn and managed to pry him from Applejack’s grip. She then took Azurys’ hand and pushed them both forward.

“Well go on, tell them!”

“Hon, what’s goin’ on?”

Beorn took a deep breath before holding Azury’s close.

“Mother, ma, uncle. I’ve taken Azurys as my next wife.”

The news was surprising at first until a large arm came out of nowhere and someone wrapped him in a big bear hug with a hearty laugh.

“BWAHAHAHAHA!! JUST LIKE HIS OLD MAN!”

All looked to see Gregor hugging Beorn close, almost squeezing the breath out of him and following him was a very energy deprived Hreidar. Imperius saw him wobble forward with a cane as he looked like he was about to fall over.

“Sweet gods, Hreidar, what happened to you?” Top asked.

“Ah. The lad just finished his morning training, we’re on break.” Gregor smirked as his apprentice flopped to the ground. The group’s reunion was cut short when Rainbow’s holo crystal went off and an image of Twilight appeared.

“Guys! I need you all down at Ponyville hospital now!”

“Oh hey aunt Twilight.” Beorn waved hello.

“Oh hello Beorn. I need all of you here now! Rarity is having her baby!!”

“What?!” Everyone yelled.

“But she’s not due for at least another week or so!” Rainbow said.

“That’s what we thought! You all must get down here immediately!” Twilight said before she hung up.

“Celestia! Luna! Think you can perform a group wide teleportation spell?!” Dimitri asked.

“Child’s play.” Luna smirked along with her sister as they used their magic to teleport them to the hospital’s main lobby.

“Guys you’re here!!” Spike shouted as he gave Applejack a hug.

“Where’s Rarity?” Rainbow asked.

“The docs took her to the birthing room…I’m scared.”

“Spike Sparkle, look at me!” Marshall demanded, making Spike stand up straight.

“That’s your wife in there, having your child right now, and you must do everything in your very being to be there for her in her time of need. You’re entering a whole new chapter in your life right now, and it’s called fatherhood. Take it from me, a man with two children and more on the way, there’s no greater joy than holding your little one in your arms. So you march in that room, hold her hand, and be there for her, understand mister?!”

“Y-yes sir!”

“Then book it soldier! MOVE! MOVE!! MOVE!!”

Spike ran back to the birthing room as fast as his feet could carry him while the lord regent crossed his arms with a smug grin as Luna, Celestia, and Raven kissed his cheeks.

“You are so hot right now.” Raven said as they sat down together.

Birthing Room

Rarity was on the hospital bed writhing in pain as another contraction hit her. The doctors prepared everything they needed in case something went wrong with the birth.

“You’re doing great miss Rarity.” A nurse said while wiping some sweat off her brow.

“No no! It’s too early, my baby can’t be coming now!” Rarity cried out as Spike came bursting into the room wearing a mask and hair net.

“RARITY?”

“Spikey wikey!!” She smiled before grunting in pain.

“I got you.” Spike smiled under his mask as they held hands.

“Okay. Rarity, I need you to push on three.” The doctor instructed as he seated himself between her legs.

“One…two…three!”

“RRRRRAAAAAAHHHHH!!” Rarity shrieked out loud as she clamped her hand around Spike’s. The process continued for a good few minutes before Rarity felt her little one finally leave her body yet something was wrong.

“Spikey…? Why can’t I hear anything?” She asked, looking worried.

“Doc?”

“Hold on. Just a little fluid in the nose.” The doctor said as he used a suction tube to clean out the mucus in the little one’s nostrils.

“Come on kid.”

“....Cough! Mmm WAAAAAH!! AHHHHHH!!”

“Congratulations, you two! It’s…a beautiful little filly!” The doctor smiled as he wrapped the baby in a towel.

“Come to mommy!” Rarity whispered with tears of joy in her eyes as the nurse handed her their daughter.

“Ohh my goodness! She’s beautiful!” Rarity beamed as she looked at the little filly. The foal had two distinct bumps on her head indicating she had horns and a short, fluffy dragon-like tail and little claws that wrapped around her mother’s finger. Her fur was as white as her mother’s and her mane was a light green, like her father’s spikes. When she managed to open her eyes, they were a deep emerald as she looked up at her parents.

“I’m…I’m a dad,” Spike said as tears spilled from his eyes.

“Look at me! I’m a dad! Cinder Flare! That’s my daughter’s name!”

“Spike, come hold your daughter.” Rarity smiled after giving the baby a quick nuzzle.

While nervous, Spike gently cradled the little one in his arms while she looked up at him curiously and after a few blinks, she began to laugh and reach up for him.

“Hi Cinder Flare,” Spike said happily as he leaned down and nuzzled his new daughter.

“I’m your daddy.”

Back in the waiting area, a nurse went to fetch the group and led them to Rarity’s room and gathered inside. Spike was waiting for them as he stood in front of them all while Rarity laid on the bed.

“Everypony, allow me to introduce our daughter, Cinder Flare.”

“Daughter? I thought I sensed a colt in there?” Lock hummed as the mares fawned over the baby.

“Who cares? Look at this little cutie!” Applebloom squealed while letting the baby play with her finger.

“Hi Cinder, I’m your Aunt Sweetie Belle!”

As the mares all took their turns holding the filly, Marshall and Lock stepped beside Spike and Lock playfully slugged his arm.

“So, dude, how does it feel being a dad now?” Lock asked.

“It…feels great!” Spike cheered while watching them fawn over his daughter.

“You should be proud my friend.” Marshall grinned.

“No child could ask for better parents. Or relatives!” He winked.

“Thanks, you two, oh and Marshall? I kinda wanted to ask you something me and Rarity have been talking about,” Spike said.

“Of course, what is it?”

“Well…would you and your wives be willing to be our kid’s godparents?”

Marshall chuckled as he took Spike’s hand and held it firmly.

“We’d be honored! And when she’s older, we’ll teach her to fight.”

“Fight? Whatever for?” Rarity protested.

“Teach her to fight off the boys of course.” Lock chuckled before the doctor came back in.

“I’m sorry everypony, but it’s time for mother and baby to rest.”

“That’s our cue, congrats again, Spike, make sure you raise her well,” Lock winked before Celestia and Luna used their magic to teleport back to the castle.

The Next Day

“Can I open my eyes now, Uncle?”

“Nope, I told you it’s a surprise.”

“Just a little peak?”

“Keep asking and I’ll make you wait more.”

Lock and Beorn were making their way to the forge after resting from yesterday’s events. Lock had Beorn tie a blindfold around his eyes as his godfather led him to the forge. Once they arrived, Smith was waiting for them while holding something behind his back.

“Okay, we’re here, you can take it off now,” Lock said.

As Beorn removed his blindfold, he was greeted by a magnificent sight. A beautifully crafted warhammer with golden runes, with a black leather grip that shined in the sun.

“Go on.” Lock said as he picked up the hammer.

“It almost has no weight to it!” Beorn gasped as he gripped the heft with both hands.

“My finest work yet!” Smith boasted with pride.

“And now for the finishing touches,” Lock said as he placed his hand on the hammer. He focussed his power as his hand sparked with electricity. The bolts danced around the hammer and along the handle until he lifted his hand off of it with little sparks still crackling off of it.

“Figured I’d add an extra shock to this beauty for you.”

“And the runes are special too.” Smith said as he pointed to the runes.

“They glow a golden hue when enemies are close and it’s times like that my boy when you need to be extra careful and don’t worry about the weight. It is Valyrian steel, infused with Star Metal, and forged with hellfire, courtesy of Sir Dimitri here. Virtually unbreakable!”

“Thor forgive me, I think I found a hammer to match yours!” Beorn grinned as he gave it a few swings, leaving a trail of bolts behind.

“Hey Lock!” Rainbow called out as she approached him

“What are you still doing here? You have to go and get ready for tonight.”

“Tonight? What’s tonight?” Beorn wondered as Lock facepalmed.

“Right. Beorn’s welcome back party! Pinkie’s gonna chew my head off if she finds out I’m late.”

“That goes double for you, young man. Go get ready!”

“Uh yes ma’am!!”

As the both of them went to leave, Rainbow grabbed Lock’s arm to whisper something.

“And don’t forget about the other event that’s happening at the auction house for next week later tonight after the party.”

“But…do I really have to do it? You know what it’s for, don’t you?”

“Of course I know. Wulfric participated once~.” The pegasus smiled as she made his cheeks flush red.

“I look forward to seeing you in a speedo…stud~.”

“SPEEDO?!” Lock barked, making everyone around turn to him.

“Uh…nevermind!”

The sun had now begun to set and Beorn’s welcome back party was going off swimmingly. Pinkie Pie was dancing up a storm with her daughter on the dance floor as Beorn and his lovers danced together as well. The adults were merely all smiling as the young ones had fun with each other and Beorn later showed off his new hammer to the other recruits who he invited. Meanwhile, out on the balcony, Marshall, Lock, and Gregor were conversing with each other as Lock and Gregor smoked cigars. This being one of the first cigars Gregor smoked.

“Well? What do you think?” Lock asked as Gregor took a puff.

“Nice flavor huh?”

“Mm, not bad but I think I’ll stick with a good smoke pipe.” Gregor smirked while listening to one of the soldiers telling stories of Beorn’s exploits to the children who came to the party.

“So there he was. Our young king saw the gleaming statue amidst the desolated town and demanded that the baron be brought before him! When he demanded to know why such a statue even existed, the citizens told him of how their gold was stolen and how their lord starved them to death!”

The children gasped and began to ask questions.

“What did the king do?”

“I’ll tell you little one. After punching that fat slob of a noble in the gut, the king clenched his fist ‘til it was hard as steel and with one blow…he SMASHED that statue into pieces and melted every last piece down in a cauldron!”

“Did he punish the baron?” A filly asked.

“Ohh he did. King Beorn was so angry, so enraged by what the baron had done that he seized him by the throat and said: “You like gold so much baron? Swim in it.” With those final words, he tossed the baron into the cauldron! Melting him down with the very gold he stole!”

The children cheered as the story came to an end with Gregor and Lock smiling at the display. Marshall glanced behind Lock’s back and noticed a strange feint glow from under his shirt which made him tilt his head.

“Lock, what’s that on your back?” Marshall asked.

Lock turned to Marshall and looked over his shoulder. When he saw the light, his eyes went wide and he gasped and set his cigar aside. He reached behind and pulled his shirt off, much to Marshall and Gregor’s unexpected surprise, and looked over his shoulder again. Behind both his shoulders were two marks that looked like they were etched into his skin, much like his branded arms. One rested behind his left shoulder, a mark that looked like a long horned ram.

Behind his right shoulder was what had just appeared, it looked like some kind of boar and Lock stared daggers at the new mark.

“N-no…no way! That’s impossible!” Lock gasped.

“They managed to do it…without me?”

“Care to explain?” Gregor inquired while taking another puff from his cigar.

Lock looked at Gregor and then to Marshall as he looked back at the new mark on his back.

“The Goat’s Sin of Lust,” Lock said, pointing to the goat symbol.

“I received this when I defeated the Overlord in control of the Crystal Empire and consumed his soul. And…this is the Boar’s Sin of Gluttony. I had heard he was in control of the Diamond Dog Kingdom and I had plans to target him next. But then I got transported here, yet now this mark is on my back, which could only mean…Draco did it. He and my crew managed to somehow defeat Gluttony!”

“Well good for them!” The old stag cheered while raising his mug.

“So Lust, Gluttony…that leaves Greed, Wrath, Sloth, Pride, and…” Marshall trailed off trying to remember the last sin.

“Envy…” Lock mumbled as he put his shirt back on.

“Heard he’s in control of Zebrafica.”

“That’s the Zebra nation. Heard the wilderness there is unlike Equestria. Savage, dark, untamed wilds as far as the eye can see, filled with beasts that’d make a meal out of you with one glance.” Said Marshall.

“Well…I’m sure we’ll be able to handle it when the time comes to liberate the Zebras. Aside from that, there’s just one thing that’s been bugging me. The army of the dead, I saw them all back in the north. It was as if no matter how many tens, if not hundreds, of those monsters I burned to ash, more would just replace them. How could that Windego King accumulate so many numbers in a short amount of time?” Lock wondered.

“I can answer that.” Called the elderly voice of Starswirl who seemed to appear out of nowhere.

“Starswirl, you old goat. Where have you been?”

“Gathering intel. I revisited the old tomb of the unicorn king and it appears I made a mistake.” The old unicorn sighed while placing down his hat.

“Mistake?” Gregor repeated.

“The seal on that tomb did not weaken…it was broken.”

“Broken? Who would be stupid enough to-”

“Blueblood.” Marshall said venomously.

“He must’ve been looking for treasure in that tomb.”

“Indeed.”

All heads turned to see a small pillar of flames as Lucifer appeared with his hands behind his back.

“The undead fool of a king was supposed to stay sealed for all eternity. The power crazed ingrate you all are at war with and want to seek for more wealth to further fund the mercenaries who fight for him. I can name many individuals on Lock’s home world who operated in similar ways, and now a vengeful spirit has begun to lay waste wherever he goes.”

“But what about the army?” Lock inquired when Starswirl unrolled a map with marked locations on the northern border.

“Marshall, do you recognize these places?”

The lord regent examined the map and a slow chill crawled up his spine.

“The old battlefields from the war...a lot of soldiers were left unburied in those places…”

“No wonder why there’s so many, I’m even willing to bet he desecrated old cemeteries from the Viking homesteads,” Lock added, making Gregor crush his mug and grit his teeth in anger.

“So that fiend defiles our tombs, disgraces our ancestors, and uses them for his war...I am glad we burned King Wulfric’s body. The thought of him raised as an undead minion…”

“Calm yourself, Sir Gregor, with the Valyrian ore you and your compatriots have procured you shall be able to stand a proper foothold on both fronts of this war.” Lucifer grinned under his hood.

“I guess…”

“One more thing.” Lucifer raised his finger.

“You are aware of Gluttony’s defeat, Dimitri?” He asked as Lock nodded

“Then I’m afraid the time has come sooner than anticipated. Dimitri, it is time for you to return.”

“What! Why?!”

“Gluttony marks the second of the Sins defeated. Do you believe that the other Sins, let alone Dainn himself, will simply let this slide? There will be much conflict and you are needed more there than here.”

“But I can’t leave now! There’s still so much to do!”

“You would risk the lives of your fellow rebels, Draco, your apprentices, even Twilight and Nightmare Moon, just to stay a few more months? I am aware I gave you until the birth of Wulfric Warborn’s children, but circumstances have unfortunately changed.”

“Please Lucifer, just a little more time.” Lock begged.

“I’m afraid not, you best say your goodbyes tonight, my Hand,” Lucifer shook his head until Marshall decided to chime in.

“If I may, gentlemen, I might have a solution.”

“Go on.”

“Lucifer. You do realize there is a fifty percent chance we could lose this war, even with the Valyrian ore, so what happens when the undead are finished with us?” Marshall asked as the devil stood silent.

“They’d look for new worlds to conquer, maybe even Dimitri’s. He’d be fighting a losing battle.”

Lucifer scratched his chin in thought as he glanced at Dimitri.

“Why is it you seem to find ways to worm your way out of a corner I try to ensnare you in?” Lucifer grumbled as he pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Stubborn…just like Ronsihr. Fine, I will allow you to remain in this world until your business is finished here.”

“Even after-”

“Yes, yes, even after the children are born,” Lucifer waved his hand.

“It’s bad enough to have one mad tyrant running rampant in your world, I’d rather not have those creatures finding a way there as well.”

“Thank you, Satanael, I really appreciate it,” Lock smiled.

“Don’t forget, you now owe me for this generous favor. Ta!” He said as he disappeared in a puff of flames.

“Darn. I was hoping he’d take away my powers once this was over.” Marshall sighed while turning his arm to smoke.

“Hate to break it to you, Marshall, but that’s a full time gig. Once you eat the fruit, it’s bound to you for the rest of your life.”

“Well that’s quite unfortunate.”

“Not really, there’s a pretty nice catch to this deal.”

“That is?”

“To put it simply, you’re ageless now.”

The lord regent seemed to approve of this new development as they returned to the festivities while in the ballroom. Beorn was seated at the royal table with Crysta and Azurys by his side as nobles began presenting him gifts in honor of his return.

“So Azurys, how’s it feel now officially being around Beorn’s arm?” Gummy asked as she, Imperius, and Top sat near them.

“It’d be better if we were cuddling in bed.” Azurys replied before pecking her lover’s cheek.

“What about you Gummy? Any of those spoiled fillies giving you trouble?” Crysta asked while nibbling her meal.

“Constantly! But I’ve learned to never let anything said to me get me down. So long as I’ve got Impy, I’m always happy!” Gummy chirped as she grabbed Imperius’ head and planted a kiss on his lips in front of everyone.

“Doiii heh heh~.” Imperius grinned in a goofy manner with little hearts above his head, much to the displeasure of the mares watching.

“Easy there Gumdrop. You’re fanning the flames.” Beorn advised before a noble’s daughter walked up to him. This mare was recognized as the mare who tried to invite Imperius on his and Gummy’s first date.

“Prince Imperius, I have been patient and courteous for you for as long as I can, but I simply cannot stand it anymore! I believe I speak for all us more worthy mares that she is no good for you! A commoner with no recognition to her name should not even be in this very room with royals like us!” She spat, with the other uptight mares nodding in agreement.”

“What makes you so worthy?” Beorn asked before gulping down his cider.

“Girls like you are all the same. You’re taught embroidery, flower arrangements, table manners and all sorts of things except how to think for yourselves. You. Are all. Dull!”

“How dare you?! I am Flawless Snowflake! Heiress of the Snowflake name! I have as much right to be beside Prince Imperius as any mare in Canterlot!” Flawless shrieked, causing the music to stop and everyone to turn to her.

“Yeah? Then how come you’re not beside him right now?” Azurys questioned.

“Seems like you missed your window a long time ago, honey.”

“And who are you? King Beorn’s pet?” Flawless shot back.

“Only when he wants me to be~,” Azurys replied seductively, flashing her collar as she straddled Beorn and they began to make out in front of everyone.

“See? These are the kind of women me and Imperius like, strong, bold, fierce and above all…” he paused to squeeze his lovers rump firmly.

“Wild~.”

“How vulgar. I expected no less from the bastard son of a savage!”

SPLAT!!

All gasped as a blueberry pie was flung right into Flawless’ face and turned to see Gumdrop smiling.

“Serves you right!”

“How dare you?!” Flawless spat as she picked up a piece of strawberry cake and flung it at Gummy. She ducked just in time as the pastry hit Imperius in the face. The prince sat there for a moment until a wide grin stretched across his muzzle and he picked up a plate full of brownies and pie.

“FOOD FIGHT!!”

Soon the entire ballroom was a confectionery warzone as pastries and cookies were flying left and right with Pinkie and Cheese joining in on the fun.

“WEEEE!!”

“Desert! IS ON YOU!!”

Beorn ducked behind a table after grabbing some eclairs and peeked out to see the action.

“I better sit this one out.” He said to himself before noticing his eclairs were gone.

“What the?”

“Oh Beorn~?” Crystal called out from under the table and held out his plate.

“Join us?” Hinting that Azurys was under there as well.

“Uhh…”

SPLAT!!

“HA! Gotcha!!” Top notch shouted after nailing him with a cream puff.

“Hold that thought. TOP!! YOU’RE DEAD!!”

As the chaos continued to unfold, the adults were on the sidelines as they watched them make a mess of the room. Celestia couldn’t stop giggling, Luna facepalmed, Raven hid behind the two sisters Applejack was busting her gut along with Rainbow, and the men were smirking at the display they were witnessing. The doors opened to reveal Antoinette and Chrysalis since they had heard all the commotion.

“What is all this dreadful noise?” Chrysalis wondered as a stray piece of cake came flying at her.

SPLAT!!

“Oh dear…” Antoinette gulped.

The queen calmly wiped the icing from her face before giving a chilling glare as she used mer magic to bind everyone in place.

“CEASE THIS FOALISH BEHAVIOR AT ONCE!!”

The room fell dead silent as Chrysalis took a deep breath to calm herself. She then snapped her fingers as a team of maids came filing in.

“I want every pony who had a hand in making this mess to clean up and make it spotless! If I see so much as a dollop of frosting anywhere, it’s dish duty for a year!”

“Chrysalis, let the children have their fun.” Said Celestia as they began to clean.

“They are the future rulers and nobles of our nation.”

“And they will be but for now, let them have their youth.”

“Well I’d say that calls it for the night, I’ll just head to bed,” Lock said as he was about to walk away, only for Rainbow and Applejack to grab him by the collar.

“Not so fast mister,” Applejack smirked.

“You still have a little event to attend,” Rainbow added.

“Oh please…you can’t still be serious?”

“If you do this we’ll…” Rainbow began whispering into Lock’s ear as his face slowly turned pink.

“And then…” she whispered again making him blush deeper.

“Uuuuuuuhhhhhhh, oh hell…”

The night sky had turned later as the moon was high in the air. In another part of the castle was a large ballroom and the whole place was filled with mares and doe’s who anticipated the start of the auction. The Royal females were seated in front as a stage and a large curtain hid the contestants behind. Rainbow, Applejack, Thora, Luta, Luna, Raven, Antoinette, and Chrysalis sat together as Celestia stood up and held a microphone up.

“Good evening, ladies,” she said playfully.

“It is that time of the year again, the summer heat begins next week. And you know what that means?”

The ladies cheered and applauded with some even letting out loud whistles, demanding the event to get started.

“Yes. Tonight, one of you lucky mares or doe’s will receive a whole week of TLC from one of the lucky males here tonight and as you know, all bits will be donated to our local charities to help rebuild our city. Now without further ado, here’s Bachelor…Number…ONE!!”

The curtains rose and the music played as the ladies began to cheer for the first bachelor who was none other than Bulk Biceps.

“Our first Bachelor hails from Ponyville. He works two jobs, one at the Ponyville day spa and the other selling cinnamon nuts. His hobbies include: Baking, working out and giving massages. Bidding begins at one hundred bits.” Celestia ended the announcement as the ladies began calling out their bids.

“200 bits!”

“300!”

“350!”

“1,000!”

“Going once for a thousand? Going twice? Sold, to the lucky mare in the back row!” Celestia said.

“YEAAAAAH!!!” Bulk roared as he flexed for the audience and left the stage to meet his client while Luna announced the next auction.

“Our next bachelor hails from the big city of Manehattan. He works as a cab driver, loves long walks on the beach and meeting new faces. Give it up for Miles Stone!!”

The crowd cheered once more as a rugged looking stallion appeared with a friendly smile and a wink.

“Hey. How ya doin’?”

“Bidding begins at 300!”

“500!”

“1,500!”

“3,000!”

“5,500!”

“7,000!”

“Going once? Going twice? Sold!”

The second bachelor left the stage winking to the audience as the auction continued on. Many more bachelors came to the stage and each one provided the royal treasury with generous donations, much to the Princesses delight. Soon almost all the bachelors were bid and the audience were all loving every minute of it. Now was the time that the Princesses played their trump card as they both took the stage.

“And now for the final bachelor of the evening.” Celestia began as the lights suddenly shut off.

The mares and doe’s all murmured to each other until music began to play. There was the sound of fingers snapping as a light from behind the curtain lit up to reveal a shadow of a figure hunched over and snapping his fingers. Both Princesses took this as a sign to leave the stage as the curtains pulled apart. Every female’s faces lit up as the last bachelor was revealed to be Dimitri. His hair was slicked back and tied in a loose ponytail and he wore sharp black tuxedo with red trimming. He held a microphone in one of his hands as he slowly opened his grey eyes and raised the mic to his mouth and began to sing.

Lock bobbed his head and body as he sang and slowly walked to the edge of the stage and continued singing. The females all squealed at his performance and some even fainted from the overstimulation of his voice. Lock glanced at a few mares in the front row and winked at them, making them fall to the floor with dopey grins on their faces. Lock then did a move that made him unfurl his wings and fly in the middle of the room and hover in place as he slowly spun around. He had pretty much every female pining after him during his performance and wouldn’t dare take their eyes off him. Soon the song came to an end as he landed gracefully back on the stage and smirked to the crowd.

“So…what’s my bidding?” He asked smoothly.

The sisters grinned as they reached out to the audience and shouted in unison.

“All bids welcome!!”

“I bid 200,000!”

“300,000!”

“Buck you! That stud’s mine! 600,000!”

“Like Tartarus! 800,000!”

“2,000,000!”

“I need a beefcake like him for my heat! 5,000,000!”

“Oh geeze…” Lock gulped as he began to sweat.

“One hundred million!” A filly’s voice called out when all turned to see Princess Selene and Tarra in the back row.

“I’ll bid two hundred more and I’ll throw in this.” Tarra said as she reached between her cleavage to pull out a large blue diamond that stunned the audience.

“A blue Diamond?!”

“Where the hay did she get that?!”

“Erm, dear, are you sure you wish to participate?” Luna asked over the mic.

“I do! Because…recently, that man became my coltfriend!” Selene proclaimed, pointing at Lock.

The audience gasped and began looking back and forth at the two while Lock facepalmed himself as the auction continued.

“Two hundred million going once…twice…SOLD!!” Celestia shouted with glee as she slammed the gavel.

Tarra smirked as she and Selene walked up to the stage and she tossed the Diamond to Celestia.

“Go buy yourself something nice with that,” the Wyrm winked as she and Selene climbed up on the stage and approached Lock.

“You two pulled a fast one on me,” Lock admitted.

“When did you put this together?”

“Oh we had this planned for a while. Tarra, he’s yours tonight.” Selene winked.

“I got plans for you stud~.” Tarra grinned as she tickled his chin with her tail.

“But…he’s mine the coming week,” Selene purred as she sauntered away from the man.

“…What just happened?” Lock asked.

The auction came to a close as Celestia and Luna were happy with the sudden rapid increase in their royal treasury as they planned for the next night of the auction. The royal females all returned to bed as Tarra dragged Lock by his hand to her guest room she was staying in.

“Is this really necessary? I mean, you don’t exactly have to rush into this,” Lock said.

“Oh hush up and get into bed.” Tarra ordered as she tossed him in and locked the door.

“Mmm~.”

The dragoness slowly walked over to her prize, wings spread wide open to block any attempt at escape as she climbed into bed, licking her lips with anticipation.

“You sure are committed, aren’t you,” Lock chuckled as he quickly tossed off his tux until he was only in his boxers and undershirt.

“I am, because…aside from all the forwardness, I really want you,” Tarra said, her voice changing into a tone of sincerity.

Tarra moved in towards his lips, ready to kiss when she felt his hands grip her webbings.

“Oh! Easy there pal, those are sensitive!”

“That right? Then allow me,” Lock smiled as they adjusted their position. Tarra sat crisscrossed as Lock sat on his knees behind her. He placed his hands on her shoulders and began massaging her, earning a few squeaks of pleasure.

“Relax, I’m not going anywhere.”

“Mmm! Those hands…” she sighed, leaning back as he continued.

“How are you so good?”

“I took a few lessons from some of my platoon mates way back when,” Lock said as his hands glided down her shoulders and he pressed his thumbs into her back.

“You’d be amazed how much more relaxed you’d become after getting a massage from me. Now, deep breath please.”

Tarra breathed deep as his massage continued and began to feel her wings drooping down of their own accord.

“Now, let’s take care of your wings,” Lock said as he gently clasped her joints and kneaded them.

“Ah!”

“Shh, relax, trust me.”

Lock gently rubbed her joints as Tarra began to pant and breathe heavily. He reached the base of her wings and began kneading them with his fingers.

“How does that feel?”

Tarra gave a purr-like growl as she felt her body melting under his touch and began lusting after him more.

“K-kiss me…” she huffed, looking back at him.

Lock smiled as he leaned in and met his lips with hers. She moaned as she kissed him and he cupped her cheek lovingly. Tarra felt something stir in her heart as they kissed, something that she hadn’t felt in her life. This man, the one she had proclaimed to be her mate, wasn’t just her mate. She didn’t want him to just be her mate, right now she wanted to be his lover. She wanted to experience being loved as his other mates. When they separated, Lock noticed little hearts in her eyes.

“You okay?”

“Better than okay~” Tarra growled before ripping her top open.

“Come and get me!!~”

Lock chucked as he pounced on her and grabbed both her breasts. He used his power to turn his teeth into fangs and nipped her neck as he pinched her blue nipples.

“AHN!~ Mmm fuck yes!~” Tarra hissed in pleasure as Lock bit into her nipple and squeezed her right breast.

“Hoping to get some milk stud~?”

“Nah, I just like playing with these things,” Lock smirked as he massaged her E-Cup mounds.

“They’re quite soft, and your scales make you look beautiful in the moonlight.”

Tarra managed to roll on top as they kissed again. Lock’s hands soon found their way to her firm rump as he ripped off her loincloth and spanked her.

“Mmm yeah stud. Slay this dragon~.” She teased as he bit her neck again.

“You know, I’ve been thinking about something,” Lock said as she pecked his lips.

“Tarra, do you…have any feelings for me?”

“Of course I do.” She replied while he rolled back on top of her.

“I could tell you were a sweet guy and thanks to the girls, I got to know you more.”

“You’re also a special woman for me too, Tarra,” Lock said as he leaned down to kiss her.

“Now, what was that you said? That I should slay this dragon?”

“Mmm yup~.”

Lock took off his boxers and positioned himself. As he was about to enter her, he noticed that she was trembling a little.

“Tarra, could this be your first time mating?”

“Y-yeah.” She said shyly.

“I see, well I might have a way to help with that.”

Lock leaned in to whisper something in her ear.

“…I love you.” He said as he pushed all the way inside, breaking her virgin barrier.

Tarra gasped as she was penetrated and felt almost no pain before her lover silenced her cries with a kiss.

“Mm! Mmm~.”

Slowly, Lock began to claim his new lover who looked up at him with a pleading expression.

“More…more…” she panted as his pace increased.

“Just one question, my sweet dragoness,” Lock huffed as the hearts in her eyes grew.

“Do you love me too?”

“I…I do!” Tarra said.

“I love you too, Dimitri!”

“Then I’ll return it with as much love as you want.”

Lock began to pick up the pace as she cried out in ecstasy from his thrusts. Lock opened his mouth and began suckling and biting her nipple and reached over to pinch her wing joints.

“Yes! More! Dominate me~!!” Tarra cried out as they kissed and rolled in the sheets.

Tarra was now on her stomach with her ass up high and Lock held her down and pounded away at her. He then raised his hand and smacked her ass, making her Yelp as they continued.

“You’re mine,” Lock hissed as he smacked her ass again.

“Tell me who your mate is and who loves you.”

“Grrr you are! You’re my mate! I can’t wait to have your babies~!!"

“Will you stay with me?” Lock asked as he spun her around and pounded away.

“Yes!”

“Forever?”

“I…I can’t live without you!”

“Then…begfor it.”

Tarra yelped as she was pinned against the window and her lover began spanking her more. As she enjoyed herself, she noticed a certain young couple in the gardens before Lock commanded her attention once more.

"Beg!"

“Grrr please Lock, fill meee!!~”

Lock grunted and slammed his hips against Tarra’s, making her cum as he filled her with his seed. Tarra’s eyes rolled back as her tongue hung out and he turned her head to kiss her deep. The lovers backed up and fell onto the bed and they began to catch their breath.

“Good girl,” Lock breathed out as he pet her head.

“You’re my special girl.”

“Mmm now I really hope to have your babies one day~.” Tarra cooed. As they kissed again, her eyes went back to the window, wondering who was out in the gardens this late before Lock made her gasp by kissing her neck.

“Hey Tarra, I’ve got a proposal for you,” Lock said.

“As you know, I’ll soon be leaving this world to return to my own.”

“Yes…and I kinda wish you didn’t have to leave,” Tarra said sadly.

“Well that’s the thing, but first, have you ever wanted to go out on your own and see the world? Like go on an adventure or something?”

“More than anything.” Tarra smiled as she nuzzled into his chest.

“I’m glad to hear it, cause here’s my offer,” Lock said as he looked down into her eyes.

“Tarra, how would you like to come with me, back to my reality?” he asked, shocking her.

“...Yes! Yes of course I’ll go with you!” Tarra squealed and pounced on him for another kiss.

“Wow, really? What about your family?” Lock wondered as she peppered his cheek with kisses.

“I have my other siblings who can watch the flock and my family is pretty tough. They can look after each other.” She smiled as they cuddled again.

“Oh by the way, I saw a couple in the gardens. Should we inform the guards?”

“Eh, probably just some late night lovers going at it like we did,” Lock shrugged as he held her close.

“Let those kids have their little fun, for now we sleep. And Tarra? Thank you, I love you.”

“Mm, love you too…”

The Gardens

Little did Tarra know, the couple she spotted was none other than Beorn and Crysta who managed to sneak out of their rooms along with Azurys as they headed for the most secluded part of the gardens along with a few treats they managed to save from the buffet table.

“Come on!” Crysta giggled as she tugged Beorn's arm.

“I don’t know. Are you sure? What if we get caught? We’re not supposed to be out this late,” Beorn argued.

“Oh don’t be such a wuss!” Azurys teased as they reached their destination.

The trio arrived at a small garden patch under the starry sky as a picnic blanket was laid out along with the snacks.

“So what’s this about?” Beorn asked before noticing rainbow lights dancing across the sky.

“…whoa.”

“Thought you would like this.” Azurys smiled as they sat him down.

The girls snuggled against the young king as they each grabbed a snack and began eating them together.

“This is so nice,” Beorn said as he ate some chocolate raisins.

“I honestly don’t care if we get caught now.”

“And if we do?” Crysta wondered as she ate some strawberries.

“I’m the King, I can do whatever I want.”

“Oh really?” Azurys challenged.

“Can you fly?”

“Er…”

“Run faster than a speeding train? Leap over tall buildings in a single bound?”

“Okay maybe not ANYTHING.”

The girls laughed and kissed his cheeks as they continued to stargaze. The moment was perfect for them as they hadn’t a care in the world at the moment. Beorn then thought of something that came to mind and fished something from his back pocket.

“What’ve you got there Beorn?” Azurys asked as he held out a small black box.

“Something to make this night even more special, Azurys,” Beorn smiled as he held the box up to her and opened it. Azurys gasped as she looked inside to see a beautiful ring with a silvery white band and a small blue Diamond on top. She covered her mouth with her hands as tears began to form in her eyes and Beorn just kept smiling at her.

“Diamond dogs have their ways. This is ours…Azurys, be my queen. I beg you, I love you.” Beorn pleaded before he was pounced on.

“Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!” Azurys squealed as she kissed him deep. Beorn managed to help himself up and took the ring and put it on her left hand. She held it up in front of her as Crysta smiled.

“It looks good on you, Azurys,” Crysta said, showing her own ring.

“We’ll be so happy together! I love you!” Azurys sobbed with joy as they took turns kissing their betrothed under the night sky.

Elsewhere

In an underground cave, two Diamond dogs stood nervously outside a door that was the main room where their boss was waiting. They both gulped and looked at each other until one of them stepped back.

“I-I can’t…you tell him!”

“You can’t be serious?! How should I tell him?!”

“I don’t know, figure it out! He’ll rip my tail off if I tell him!”

“How does that make me feel better?! Get your ass over here now! We’re doing this together!”

The retreating dog gulped and nodded as they took a breath and opened the door. The room was large and filed with vast amounts of gems and gold as a few chairs and a table were in the center. On the largest chair sat a muscular Diamond dog who had a few female dogs laying around them. The dog glanced up at his lackies and growled at them.

“This better be good, you’re interrupting.”

“W-Well…it’s about your kid, boss…”

“And?”

“And…Raff, he’s dead.”

“Dead?” The alpha perked up an eyebrow.

“Who did him in?”

“The boys said the king of the north killed him.”

“Hmm, I knew Raff couldn’t handle getting my bitch of a daughter back,” the alpha spoke as he stood up straight, his height towering above the other dogs.

“Fine…I’ll do it myself.”

End.
