A Death March To The Fall Of Equestria
Chapter 12 (Rewritten)
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSonya, Eliza, and the freed crystal ponies girls stood at a hidden forest clearing, big enough for a village. The only thing that's there is an old building that doesn’t look stable, but the wide space is what Sonya needed.
It looked like a good place to set up, and Sonya was already at it with her manipulator. The device was showing hologram displays of the grey stone brick flooring she was planning to lay down. A pull of the trigger made it real, rather than a hologram. A little sweep and the foundation of the building was already done.
Eliza looked at all the pregnant females and called out. “Does anyone need anything?”
One of the mares stepped forth. She was cradling her pregnant belly. "I think some of us would like a safe, controlled place to handle our babies. Freedom is nice, but we've come to enjoy being filled…" The mare said with a blush. She had a kind of fire-coloured theme about her, but she didn't look like Spitfire. This mare had emerald green eyes and was a unicorn.
“You're filled as it is Miss.” Eliza stated a matter of fact.
The mare chuckled. "Yeah, but I mean… Well, I personally enjoy those moments when I'm brought back for a refill." She elaborated. Many of the others nodded in agreement. A few seemed too shy to admit it.
“Sorry to disappoint you then. Anyways, once those eggs leave your bellies I or some pony will come to check on your medical health.” Eliza said.
The mare nodded in acceptance. Glancing around at the cutie marks on the other mares, she spoke up. "I'm not seeing any medical marks. Anyone else a doctor?"
“As soon as I find one I’ll send them to you all for medical checks.” Eliza reassured them. Seeing no one else speaking up, the spokesmare nodded to Eliza.
Sonya finished building the frame of the house but then sigh at a sudden realization.
"Dammit. I need to get more wood. I really underestimated how much material this will cost…" Sonya lamented. "Guess I'll lay out the garden while I'm still here…" She started picking out a spot and setting up some automated grow-beds for various crops. Once that was all set up, she turned to the surrounding forest and used her tool to cut down some trees.
The girls, curious about these grow-beds, approached them and looked at the parts. A crystal earth pony, smiled at it. "These things should cut down on the work. All we'd have to do is carry the food in. Maybe work it into something edible, if it's something like rice or wheat." She appraised.
Eventually, given some time and materials, Sonya finishes building the house, a farm, and a cavern to safely keep the creatures in. She was shivering from the cold air and breathing in and out from the extra weight and limit of movement, she was walking into the house every now and then to manage the cold. The first thing she did, of course, was install heaters and air conditioners.
Eliza had to ask. “Why didn’t you just ask me to cut the trees?”
"Manipulator took care of it." She answered. "Now for one last thing…" She shuffled through her crafting menu a little, looking for the micro terraformer. It would act much like the Crystal Empire's crystal heart, but as a machine, it would be much less fragile but require more maintenance. Once she had it made, she placed it on the porch and turned it on.
“What’s this for?” Eliza asked, observing the device.
"It's a micro terraformer. Similar to a regular terraformer, it alters a biome to whatever you need it to be. Much like the Crystal Heart, it only covers so much ground." Sonya soon stopped shivering as the temperature rose. "Unlike the Crystal Heart, however, it only needs to be used once, and its effects are permanent."
Eliza shrugged before taking off her helmet, letting her long white hair free. She turns the helmet around to observe the helmet she recently gained. “So, was it made to warm up the surrounding proximity?”
"Yeah. Warm enough to crow crops, but still cool enough to grow some of the local crops." Sonya detailed.
“Well, let's see how the others like their place.” Eliza said. Sonya nodded and looked through the crowd of females. They had been investigating everything they saw Sonya's tool build. Many of them were wondering how Sonya's tool could do this. Others were discussing what to grow in the crop plots. One particular Pegasus was following the group spokesmare around and said mare was currently talking to the crystal pony mare who weren't currently pregnant. Those being only 2.
Thinking this will take a while, Eliza went to her menu then to Telepathy chat and call in Satou while she’s waiting.
After a couple of moments, Satou’s voice spoke up mentally. “Okay… So that should work… Is this thing on, can you hear me?”
“Yes, I am. This is VR Eliza calling from Telepathy Chat.” Eliza mentally in her head. “Is communication alright on your end?”
Satou didn’t instantly respond. “I think so… You may have been muted though before now… What's the issue?” During this; Eliza heard a young child-like voice but couldn’t place the words.
“Nothing much, I got separated from Sonya falling in a hole; then went to find her only to find a lot of females being used as pregnant beanbags for ants and saved them with small casualties. And then hid them in a hidden location away from the Crystal Empire and got them settled in.” Eliza explains, watching the cloudy sky.
“I’m surprised that you're telling me this. I’d have expected you to have kept it a secret.” Satou responded calmly, then Eliza heard the same voice as before seemed to mutter something.
“Who’s that?” Eliza asked in curiosity.
“I would expect you to already know what went off here through Sombra.” Satou responded with a sigh. “It’s another Displaced, someone native to our world. She was being kept in the dungeons under the Empire, Dainn decided to put her in a line-up for the new slave to use that new collar that's being made before he handed her to me… Poor things covered in injuries which she claims was done by her old master, someone called Nathen Shield.”
“I see. No, I can’t, VR me can’t do that, only the original can do that.” Eliza said mentally; then add. “I hope she is in good hands.”
“She is. She is with me after all.” Satou responded before Eliza heard the young girl's voice again saying; “Thank you, master...” in a slow, seemingly half-awake voice.
Sonya soon finished up with one of the mares, having appointed the orange mare name Summer as the chief here for now. She turns back to Eliza.
"Alright. I think everything is going to be ok here. They're all set to live here for a while and I've given Summer a manipulator. We should head back to the Empire now. I'm getting pretty hungry." Sonya reported.
Eliza nods before going back to telepath chat. “You heard her, we’re returning. VR Eliza out.” Eliza logs off the chat and with that, Sonya and Eliza began their return to the empire.
When the call ends, Satou looks down to find Filo had her face resting against his chest, one moment of her rubbing her head affectionately against Satou that made him smile.
Looking back at the clock on his menu as he thought. ‘Thirty seconds, then the spell on her will be permanent.’
As the clock slowly ticks down, he felt Filo begin to stir from her sleep before wrapping her arms around his neck as the countdown hit five seconds. She mutters somewhat clearly. “Master, thank you for making me yours.” When the countdown hit zero; she leaned in kissing Satou, holding him there for a minute. She slowly backed away, her face blush. She then rests her head over Satou’s shoulder.
Sound of the door opening caught his attention, and Satou found Dainn walking in the room. The caribou king smiles at Satou. “I see everything went well, she’s all yours now I take it?”
“She is.” Satou responds as he rubs Filo’s back of head, causing her to sink into his shoulder. “So, is there anything else we need to sort today?”
“Just one thing.” Dainn reaches into a small bag, pulling out a square-shaped case before passing it to Satou. “A gift, from me to you.” Satou didn’t respond instantly as he opened the case to find a badge. The badge is the same design as the schematics he had seen a few days before.
The badge itself looked to be handcrafted, each detail carefully engraved into the metal, clearly showing whoever made it took pride in their work. Looks to be slightly modified with the back of the badge looking more like a shield in a similar style to what you would see on a police badge, having white metal with gold inlays around the edge, while in the centre has a black flame-shaped pattern with Satou’s name above it and title below it in white text.
After a couple more seconds Satou picked the badge up from the case before holding it in his hand. Slowly turn it, checking each detail while speaking up. “Dainn, it looks amazing! Would you be able to find out who crafted this and tell me so I can thank them myself?”
“I think the blacksmith who made this would be honoured to hear from you, I will make sure to send him your way when I get the chance.” Dainn responds before saying. “Is there anything else you need?”
Satou paused for a second before answering. “Would it be possible for you to get me as many books as you can on the current laws that are in effect here so I can make sure I know all of them, along with any recipes that could create the effects on this list?” He passes a list of the fetishes Sonya requested.
“I can do that for you, and I’ll make sure to get them delivered to your house.” Dainn told him with a smile he never seemed to lose when he was in Satou’s presence.
“Thank you, it will be a great help.” Satou replied, bowing to Dainn.
At this point; Filo climbs off him, standing by Satou’s side before saying. “Master, would I be able to give you a ride home?”
“Are you sure you can do that?” Satou asked only to get a nod from Filo.
“I can get you some of the best riding equipment from the stables, we had some crafted that were made to suit her when she turns into that bird.”
Filo seemed to smile in delight at what she heard Dainn said before looking to Satou in hope. Satou said. “I don’t see why not, let's see what we have.”
Dainn nods with a smile. “Excellent, please follow me and we’ll get her geared up to take you home.” At this point, all three of them left the room with Filo reaching up and grabbing Satou’s hand as they walked through the castle.
A couple of minutes later; group walks out of the stable with Filo having transformed from a cute little girl into what looked to be a very large bird which could almost be compared to a Chocobo from Final Fantasy. She had white and pink feathers, along with a now larger blue collar around her neck along with what looked to be a completely black metal saddle with red and gold marking adorning it.
Satou climbs onto Filo’s back before looking back at Dainn as he says. “If you need me for anything you will be able to find me back home if I’m ever out again leave a message with Eliza, also we may need to find a way to keep in contact with each other.”
“I’ll look into it.” Dainn respond and add. “Have a safe trip home.”
“We will.” Satou said back as both he and Filo made their way back to their homes with Filo humming a strange tune the entire way home.
As Sonya and Eliza approached the city gate, Sonya tried adjusting her clothes to make her pregnancy less obvious. "Hope we have an explanation for this." She looked at Eliza, prompting a response.
“I don’t know. Maybe say that you got fat from an unusual magic and needed to bring you back to the Manor?” Eliza suggested unsurely.
"Well, mining crystals, full of magic… I guess that works." Sonya shrugged. Then she stopped at the gate.
As soon as they did; the same Caribou that they had met when they left the city stepped in front of them before calmly saying. “I’m glad you both made it back safely, I’m sure nothing happen-” he then paused looking at Sonya before saying. “I don’t think I need to ask about that… those giant ants?”
Sonya paused. Her honesty fought with the desire to cover it up, but she sighed. "Yeah. But I enjoyed it. I'm gonna be taking them back with me where I came from."
“You better check with your master that he wants them hatching and being in his home.” The Caribou responded calmly. “We really need to send a group out to exterminate those hives.”
"Oh, I won't be letting them in his home. I'll be building them one elsewhere." Sonya replied. "A more controlled setting where their population is controlled and people's exposure to them is limited to those who want to be bred."
“...You make it sound like those things got into your head a bit too much, might be an idea to get your master to take you for a check-up. Those things aphrodisiacs sometimes cause those they affect to become addicted to being bred against their will. Just a warning that your guide should pass on to Mr Pendragon.”
"What, a girl's not allowed to have crazy fetishes? Heh. Alright, I'll talk to him about it." Sonya promised.
“Just make sure you do.” The Caribou responded with a shake of his head before looking at Eliza. “I assume you must have cleared the nest out to rescue her. I don’t suppose that you found anyone else when you saved her, and I assume you exterminated a good portion of the nest at the same time.”
“I’m not a killer mister, however, few died during my rescue so they have fewer numbers. Ones who fled I just let them go since they didn’t get any of the captures, for anyone else… hmm, I don’t remember seeing any besides my feline companion here.” Eliza said in her usual emotionless face and voice, probably out of habit but didn’t matter at the moment.
The Caribou then groaned in annoyance before saying. “A piece of advice, if you ever come across another hive, exterminate all of it, including any unhatched eggs. If you don’t eliminate the entire hive they just come back stronger and more resistant to whatever killed them before. They are worse.”
Sonya chose to stay silent in that regard, seeing that their opinion wouldn't be swayed. She started walking through the gate, headed for Satou's mansion.
Eliza was about to follow but stop to ask the guard caribou. “Say, are you one of two that tried to touch me when I first arrived?”
“Try the moron who’s been sent to work in the palace guard, he wouldn’t stop doing that stuff when we were warned to stop all sexual activities when on duty.” The Caribou responded. “Don’t know if he’ll have a job… or his freedom much longer if he doesn’t learn.”
“Okay.” Eliza thanked before running to catch up to Sonya which is easy in her pregnant state.
Eventually, they arrived at Satou's mansion to find a peculiar sight. Saw what looked to be a Pegasus with a bright blue coat along with a two-tone, silver and red mane trying to climb into the house through a window with two caribou looking to be lifting him into the house. Sonya scowled, and a hand dropped to her manipulator, itching to shoot the obvious home invader.
"Hey. What do you think you're doing?" Sonya demanded. Her tone of voice instantly carried the tone of a military commander.
“Just following our orders.” One of the Caribou said before pausing, turning his head before saying. “I think I'm about to lose my job.”
"Your orders are to aid in a home invasion? You should know better than to mess with the current champion." Sonya warned. "Walk away now and maybe you'll get to leave uninjured." Eliza didn’t like this either, however she used her arm in Sonya’s path to stop her.
“Don’t Sonya. Stand down.” Eliza said as low as possible to Sonya. Sonya held back, at least thankful that Eliza had stayed her hand. Her eyes never left the three perpetrators.
“I’d hardly call this a home invasion.” The pegasus responded. “I’m just getting back those three sluts that were taken from me!”
“I see, and you couldn’t wait until Satou returned to discuss this because…?” Eliza asked with a raised eyebrow.
“Why should I listen or bargain with that lowlife! He’s a nobody who’s words should have no merit to them!” The stallion shouted back. “He supposedly lawfully voided my contract with those three, but he had no evidence of a crime!”
“Then why send those three maids to help fix up the place?” Eliza added calmly, it didn’t really make sense. Why would he send them if he didn’t like Satou?
“They served the king! Them working for him brought me in loads of bits so I could live like a king! But he sent them to serve that lowlife instead!” The stallion shouted in anger.
“Oh chill sir, no need to lose your cool. But to me, it looked like you wanted to get the king's good grace.” Eliza said in her own opinion. “Showing King Diann that you deserve to be in a higher class by getting on Satou’s good side by helping him out.”
“The king doesn’t need his opinions. After all, he lets useless sluts like you walk freely like you are worthy of standing alongside him, someone like that doesn’t have a right to be held in high regard by the king or anyone else for that matter. I’m much more capable than him in every way, by all rights I should be in his position. That whole contest must have been rigged so he’d win!”
Eliza rolled her eyes before spotted the caribou she asked about earlier at the gate but returned her gaze at the stallion. “Oh, how hurtful words you say, whatever will I do…” Dramatically sighed in utter sadness sarcastically. Then look back at him. “Say what you will but your words are just a dog's bark with no bite that’s more whining than any.”
“You think a slut like you has the right to talk to me that way!” The stallion shouted back.
Sonya growled with growing hatred. She almost pulled her gun out, but she just clenched her fists. "My claws say yes. Though I'd prefer to shoot you in the dick. Maybe you'd learn a lesson if you no longer had one?"
“Sonya, stay calm. Why don’t you go inside while I handle this, please.” Eliza asked nicely.
“Neither of you sluts are going anywhere!” The stallion shouted in anger. “You both need to learn how to speak to your betters.” He then saw Sonya's collar and looked at her pregnant belly before saying. “You're both his slaves aren’t you!”
“So what.” Eliza stated while standing in front of Sonya in protection. Also to keep Sonya out of any fight in her condition. But Sonya put a hand on Eliza's shoulder. She was trembling with anger. “Don’t Sonya.”
"Give me a reason!" Sonya growled lowly. Then louder to the stallion. "Give me a reason to fight back. To shoot your balls off. To maul you. Because the way you talk makes me want to bomb something."
“Cause you have no right to Sonya.” Eliza stated. “Any action you do is the action of Satou, that will give this guy reasons and I rather not harm a citizen even in city grounds.”
Sonya clenched her fists harder… Before she suddenly smiled. "Alright. But if he happens to have some kind of accident… I'll make sure I'm around to laugh." With that ominous note, Sonya began walking to the front door.
“You get back here!” The Stallion shouted again, running towards Sonya with his fist clenched as he pulled his arm back, only to suddenly get sent flying back onto the ground as he bounced a large white figure who appeared in front of him.
“Who in Faust's name is…” The stallion said before pausing looking up to see Filo looming over him with Satou sitting on her back before he climbed off her. The stallion froze up seeming to shake when Satou looked at him. “That… Faust save me.”
“Is something the matter?” Satou asked, walking towards the stallion who tried to back away in fear.
“Girls… what's gone off?” Satou asked as Filo stepped aside so Satou could see Eliza and Sonya.
“Nothing to worry about.” Eliza said as her eyes looked at the huge bird. “Is this her?” Pointing a thumb at Filo.
“Yes that's her.” Satou responded as he unmounted the big bird. Filo suddenly was surrounded by smoke before she reappeared in her human form resting her head against Satou’s side, with a large smile on her face.
“I see.” Eliza said unsure. “Anyways. Has the visit gone well?”
“As well as you would expect.” Satou responded before calmly asking. “What's actually happened between the man behind me who looks like he has a grudge against me and you two?”
Eliza looked at Satou before sighing in annoyance. “Satou, It’s not something dangerous.”
"It's just a prick trying to steal back what he calls his. And he even acted like he had the right to control what we can and can't do. I would have shot his dick off if Eliza weren't here to stop me." Sonya added.
“Sonya, inside, now.” Eliza said, though in her mind she's just getting frustrated by both of them. “Get something to eat while you're in there.”
Sonya rolled her eyes and went inside. "Alright, mom. Whatever you say." She opened the door and headed to the kitchen.
Satou just rolled his eyes in annoyance before looking at the pegasus. “I can only apologize for my slave's actions, I’m afraid I just got her and am still in the process of training her.”
The pegasus didn’t respond, him just glaring at Satou without a word.
“Okay, can I ask what your reason is for your visit to my home today? I’d like to resolve whatever problem you have as calmly as possible.” Satou responded.
“I want my three sluts back now!” the stallion shouted back.
“Okay… I assume you mean the first three maids I got working here. So that must make you Mr Wild Strikes.” Satou responded calmly before holding a hand out to his side gesturing for Wild Strikes to follow him. “Would you like to come inside so we can sort this out like the adults we are, there's no need to get into a fight over this.”
“There’s plenty of reasons, you lowlife piece of scum!” Wild Strikes shouted back in anger before saying. “You took my sluts from me without any lawful reason! I demand you return to me what is mine!”
“Mr Strikes, I assume you have seen the documentation in regards to why your three slaves are staying here for the time being. We found that their health was below safe standards for the job they were doing.” Satou responded calmly.
“All three were healthy when they left my care!”
“One was on the brink of starvation, and all three were supporting severe injuries. They could have been serving important international diplomats and if something was to happen due to their injuries it may have caused untold issues. They were taken into my care to make sure they were as healthy as possible in case they were needed to take up an important role like that again.” Satou responded, sounding almost calm and controlled throughout the conversation.
“But they were fine! I saw no injuries!”
“When we had them checked over we found all of them had multiple old and fresh bruises covering their bodies, large whip marks covering their backs that looked to have left open scars that looked recently done along with poorly healed fractures to their limbs, along with those all three looked to have not been fed a proper meal in at least a month. I have looked into this and in the owner's handbook that was signed by you it said all mares working with or near the royal place must always be healthy and free of any injuries, both internal and visible to guests.”
The stallion's glare seemed to soften slightly before he said. “but they were fine when they left that morning?”
“They clearly weren’t Mr Strikes.” Satou responded. “Please come inside and I’ll get someone to prepare you a drink so we can resolve this issue and prevent any more issues like this occurring.”
Wild Strikes seemed to pause for a second before saying. “That may be a good idea. I may not trust a lowlife like you, but it seems you do want what's best for the city and the king.”
“Then please follow me inside, we’ll go to my office to sort this and I'll have one of the maids bring you something to eat and drink, but for the moment, your guards will need to stay in the main hall just outside my office or leave.” Satou responded.
Wild Strikes simply nodded his head before saying. “They’ll stay outside the room, and I can assure they will not cause any problems.”
“That's fine, in that case, if you could all follow me.” Satou responded before turning walking inside with Filo sticking close to him as the group entered the house as Satou said. “Eliza, would you get one of the maids to bring our guest up some food and some drinks for us?”
“Already have Satou, during your last comment.” Eliza explained as she followed beside him. “It’ll be up in five minutes.”
“Thank you, Eliza.” Satou responded as Satou, Filo and Wild Strikes walked into the room with his two guards standing outside as they seemed to shuffle nervously with one trying to avoid Eliza’s gaze.
Eliza noticed and looked at the caribou. “You're the Caribou from back then.” The Caribou didn’t respond looking away from her clearly nervous of being around Eliza. Eliza sighs with her eyes rolling. “Come on, say something.”
“I’m sorry, but my friend here is currently in a lot of trouble, he doesn’t want to risk getting into any more… or falling to his urges.” The second Caribou responded.
“Touch or sex?” Eliza couldn’t help out of curiosity.
“Both.” The first caribou muttered, trying to avoid looking at Eliza. His hand travelled towards his crotch but nervously pulled it back.
“Oh…” Eliza simply said, watching the two; just in case.
“Is there something else you need sl- I mean miss?” First Caribou started saying but quickly corrected himself.
“Nothing.” Eliza said just as the maid came into view with a cart of food heading for the door.
As the mare opens the door, her eyes look at the two caribou; more on the first caribou. She took a silent sniff and her eyes looking down at his crotch with eagerness in her eyes. She must have caught herself second later when a blush appeared on her cheeks and decided to enter and close the door behind her.
Eliza looks at the first Caribou. “Well, you got Jazzy Pop’s interested in you.”
“I… I can’t.” The first Caribou responded, clenching his eyes shut as his hand shaking and a large bulge appeared between his legs.
“You're really trying hard aren’t ya? Trying to resist I mean.” The Caribou only nodded his head in agreement with gritting teeth.
“I see.” Eliza understood. “So, how's your arm? Still hurts?” The first Caribou simply nodded back.
“You okay?” Eliza asked.
“I don’t know… I need to cum.” The Caribou grunt with tears in his eyes as a damp patch appears around his crotch as the stench of arousal spreads around the hall.
“Oh my. Are you sure you're okay?” Eliza asked again. She would have to move to help but she would rather avoid being near the erect appendage so she stayed where she is.
The Caribou didn’t respond before looking towards Eliza, a feral look in his eyes as his focus all on her, snarling like wild animals. Eliza tense, taking a ready stance for anything the wild Caribou might do.
Luckily the other Caribou pulls out a strange short metal object covered in runes before quickly striking the feral Caribou in the chest as his body convulses before collapses to the ground panting as he twitched on the ground.
“I’m sorry about him.” The second Caribou apologized. He kneel down to the twitching caribou and place a silver collar around the twitching Caribou’s neck. “It’s a shame but he may be turned and sold now because of this.”
“Collar for a male…?” Eliza questioned.
“Not a male for a lot longer after that, I’d assume.” The Caribou responded. “As I said, he’ll be ‘rebranded’ and sold… Any slave can wear a collar, most males just don’t get turned into slaves.”
“Is his mind permanent that way or is it curable?”
“If I knew the answer to that I'd tell you. I assume with proper training he may recover, but it’s unlikely anyone would waste resources and time for him to simply relapse again. Someone will buy him; either keep him as a house pet, use him for sexual or stress relief or retrain him after his gender is corrected.”
A few rooms away, Sonya sighed. She got up and headed over to join the conversation in person. After she rounded the corner, she spoke up. "And if a psychic happened to be around to deal with his mental state?"
“Well… he may not be turned into a purple… but the others would likely still happen.”
Sonya hummed, but in a fit of indecision, looked at Eliza. "Should I buy him? I could take him back to my world, and I've got plenty of gold ingots to trade-in. And I know plenty of mares who'd love a piece of meat like him."
“No.” Eliza said flatly. “You already have that to deal with That as it is.” She points at Sonya’s pregnant belly.
Sonya looked down. "...Well to be fair, I have the entire population of Equestria on a starship with me ready and willing to help out, back home." Sonya pointed out. "And yes. I do mean the entire population."
“Answers still no.” Eliza deadpan, not budging her answer.
Sonya sighed. "Fine. Guess I can think about managing other things after I've managed this."
“To be fair, I doubt this idiot could even walk in a line without someone leading him on a leash.” The Caribou reason, looking to the twitching Caribou. “So I doubt he could be of use to either of you.”
Sonya shrugged. "Well, I'm psychic. I could probably plant some kind of mental program in his head to do whatever based on certain commands." Having nothing more to say, Sonya began to head to her bedroom.
“What sort of commands do you think she means? And she must want something for doing it.” The Caribou stated as he looked at Eliza.
“I don’t know.” Eliza said but she had a hunch, but rather not want to think about it.
Sonya pauses at that. She turns to them with a conflicted look. "I'm not even sure I should ask for compensation. I don't even belong in this world…"
“Even I know you don’t do something for nothing. That's not how any world would live by.” The Caribou responded.
"That's kind of a problem when the world I come from is converting into a space age civilization out of sheer necessity. I suppose I could ask for materials to bring home… But even then, I'm not sure how much I would need." Sonya said with a shrug.
“Well. That wouldn’t be something I could even consider offering.” The caribou responded. “Besides that's miles over my paygrade.”
“I doubt there's any materials you actually need from here.” Eliza said, can’t think of any materials she would need. Especially that Sonya’s world is a spaceship and not a planet.
Sonya thinks it over. "I guess in the end, since my version of Equestria was completely destroyed, any materials found only on Equestria would be valuable. Then again, every version of equestria is different in some way, shape or form."
“Either way, if you do take him and want to fix his head. You’ll have to work out the trade for it.” The caribou responded with a dismissive wave towards Eliza.
“We should wait for Satou to finish whatever he is doing first.” Eliza said to Sonya, though she wished not to. Sonya nodded, and leaned against a wall to wait.
It was then that the door opened, Satou walked out the room with Filo, Wild Strikes and the maid in tow. They stop at the scene.
Wild Strikes was the first to speak. “I’m not going to ask.”
“Then I will. What the hell happened out here?” Satou asked as he looked from the twitching Caribou to Eliza.
“Ask him.” Eliza points at the standing Caribou.
“He lost his marbles again. Had to be knocked out and collared, we’ll get him taken away, re-orientated and sold later.” The Caribou explain.
“Eliza, I’m gonna need a real explanation for what happened to him.” Satou responded. Sighing Eliza told him what she saw and in telepathic chat showed what she saw like a recording. “Okay… I think I get the gist of what's happened.” Looking over to the twitching Caribou, he asks. “Think you can leave him here? We’ll find a use for him, and you won’t need to worry.”
“He’s your problem, not mine, I never saw a thing.” Wild Strikes respond, beginning to walk away. “You come with me, and leave him here, he’s no use to me.” He said to the standing caribou guard.
“Of course.” The second Caribou responded following the pegasus.
“I’ll leave you be Mas- Mr Pendragon. You and your slaves won’t have any more problems with me.” Wild Strikes responded with a bow before leaving the house with the Caribou guard in tow.
Once he was sure that both of his guests were gone, Satou looked to Eliza before saying. “Need I guess who caused this madness, or do you already know?”
“Not sure.” Eliza simply said.
“I’m assuming Sonya’s the culprit?”
“I think.”
Sonya held up her hands. "Hey, I didn't do anything. He lost it all on his own. I just… Chose not to do anything about it because he worked for that prick." Sonya defended herself.
Satou just looked at her with raised eyebrow before shaking his head. His focus changed on the maid. “Could you and a few others take him to the showers, strip him out of his armour and ruined clothes then clean him down. After that we’ll work out what to do with him, just keep him safe and out of trouble till then.”
“Oh um, okay.” Jazzy said a bit of hesitance as she got to work.
“Miss is something wrong, if you want some help moving him, you just need to ask?” Satou responded, looking at the maid with a calm smile.
“O-oh no sir! I’m fine.” Jazzy reassures Satou as she uses her levitation magic to carry the twitching caribou.
“You think she’ll be okay with handling him?” Satou asked as he looked at Eliza.
“I think she'll ‘more’ than handle him.” Eliza sheepishly said before leaning closer and whispered about what happened before the maid went inside the office.
“And now that makes sense,” Satou responded with a shake of his head. “I’ve just caused a very awkward situation haven’t I?”
Sonya shrugs. "Awkward, kinky, who knows. Either way… Satou, I think we should talk. There's something I need to get off my chest."
“Anywhere specific you have in mind that you want to talk?” Satou asked, looking at her curiously.
"My room, please." Sonya begins leading the way.
“I’ll see you later Eliza.” Satou responded before following Sonya towards her room. Eliza just waves at him.
Satou halted when he felt someone pulling on his sleeve. Looked down to find Filo looking up at him before she said in a joyful tone. “Master, I’m here too!”
Satou simply smiled down to her before rubbing the top of her head. “Filo, I want you to look around here, for now, I’ll need to handle this one by myself. Okay.” He calmly requested.
“Okay, master!” Filo shouted before walking out a gleeful smile on her face as Satou made his way towards Sonya’s room.
As the duo made their way down the halls Satou kept looking at Sonya before he spoke. “You're sure you can’t just speak about this in the open? Is there a reason you need to be in your room?”
"Yes. If there are spies listening, or anything… I don't want them to hear it. This is important. It could even affect my performance in or out of a confrontation."
“Okay, if you feel it’s that threatening to you if it gets out. Why take the risk?” Satou asked as they reached the door to Sonya’s room. Sonya put her paw on the door handle.
"Because you're a Displaced that I believe can be trusted." She declared, before stepping in as Satou followed her inside, closing the door behind them.
“So. What specifically did you want to talk with me about?”
"It's… About my behavior. I know I've been a bit more hostile to that guy than I should be. And I know it's no excuse, but I do have an explanation. Due to my soul being a vessel for the spirit of the tree of harmony, I have a very strong and intense compulsion for justice… Even if I'm not in my own world."
“Trust me. There was someone more hostile towards him than you.” Satou responded with a dismissive wave.
"And what about next time I see him? I wanted to rob him of his memories. Alter his mind, drop in self destructive habits. That's not natural. Those are horrible desires I only just barely held back from doing. I wouldn't want that in my worst enemy, and I don't think I can trust myself to not do it at some point."
“I know this isn’t any much help in terms of what's happening, but half of the time this is being forced upon them by things like the Crystal Cock or even others around them. Do those individuals deserve to be punished as well?”
Sonya falters as she thinks about it. There's a flash of color in her eyes as something in her heart changes. "...No. They don't. They just need to be pushed back on the right path."
“By threatening. And the way you were thinking sounds more like throwing them then pushing.”
Sonya nods. "That sounds about right. Something tells me Harmony didn't exactly know any other way of handling it. And considering how the Elements of Harmony work… I dunno. One could call it the Light of Destruction."
“Sounds like she’s a pretty terrible being in my opinion.” Satou responded.
"You aren't wrong. I guess I need to have a chat with Harmony when I go to bed tonight. I can't have her compelling me to destroy things like that."
“Are you seriously saying that you have no control over it yourself. That makes you sound more like a slave in your own body.” Satou pointed out.
Sonya sighed. "The spirit of Harmony is a sentient being. I'm just its temporary host. The nature of our relationship wasn't all that clear when I first inherited it."
“To me it sounds like it’s to be her puppet, or body.” Satou pointed out.
Sonya frowns as she feels something deep within her. It wasn't clear what it was, but she could tell the Spirit was reacting to this somehow. "Hmm… Whatever it is, She and I have a lot to talk about."
“Sounds rather inconvenient to me.” Satou responded. “I mean you don’t even know what you get from the deal.”
"I do know though. It's made my psychic abilities stronger than I could fathom, and it's also stopped me from aging. Unless there's anything else I don't know about, I'd say it's a pretty good deal. Anyway… I think Harmony gets the idea. Do you have a Token by the way?"
“I don’t think I do.” Satou responded, raising an eyebrow in thought. “I know Eliza mentioned it in the past, but I never got around to making mine.”
"Ah. To start with, pick something that embodies you or an ideal you follow. Then, depending on what resources you use for skills or whatever, you can channel it into this object and embed a message into it. Any message works. If I understand your UI system right, you may or may not have a tutorial pop up."
“I suppose.” Satou responded before a screen appeared in front of him just like Sonya had predicted. Satou seemed to follow them, presenting the badge Dainn had made him but then became perplexed. “It doesn’t actually explain what this ‘phrase’ is about.”
"Like I said, just embed a message. Any will do, so long as it explains your purpose. Tokens are as flexible and varied as people are."
“I may need a few minutes to think about what to say.” Satou responded with a nervous chuckle while rubbing the back of his head.
"Take your time. You can always redo it if you aren't happy with the results." Sonya encouraged.
“I think I’ll sort it later after I’ve had some time to think about what I want. I don’t really want people to get the wrong idea from what it says and what they see… might also need to give them a warning about what those with me might have on or lack.”
Sonya didn’t seem to respond to him before she climbed into her bed and lied down. "At least I can rest for now. Although… when can you get to those fetish items we talked about?"
“First we need to talk about you fixing the mess with that Caribou guard.” Satou stated.
She pouts, still trying to insist she didn't do anything. "Fine. I didn't cause it, but I did offer to fix it." She got back up out of bed and gestured for him to lead her to the caribou.
Satou then shook his head before saying. “What are you intending to do to the Caribou?”
"You tell me. After all, he's yours now." She answered.
“I’ll decide that once we can be sure that he won’t end up relapsing after the fact.” Satou responded. Sonya nodded at him and waited for him to lead the way as they both walked out of the room.
When Satou & Sonya reached the shower rooms they looked to find two maids that looked to be from the cooks department, their faces little blush at the moment as they talked to each other to get their minds off something.
“You two girls are doing okay?” Satou asked as he walked towards the two maids. They turn to see Satou and Sonya and they stand straight like maids do.
“Oh! We’re fine Master Satou.” The left maid said in reassuring with the right nodding in agreement.
“Yes yes, we’re perfectly fine.” The maid on the right added.
“You sure? You both look a bit flustered.” Satou responded sceptically.
“Yes!” Both maids said in unison.
Satou could only smile at them. “Okay then. I won’t push on any more. But could you tell me how things are going inside there?” He gestured to the room behind them. That brought back the blush on their faces.
“You don’t wanna know,” “Yeah please don’t.” Both maids said in a ‘taking turns talking’ way.
"Considering I've been appointed to fix his mind, I think I should know something." Sonya replied.
“Um, let's just say;” Left maid started.
“Jazzy Pops is having a dream come true.” Right maid follow-up unsurely on her wording.
Sonya raised an eyebrow. She looked at Satou. "Hmm. I think we're about to get a show."
“I should have guessed.” Satou responded before saying. “I think we better head inside and sort this out… I also have a suspicion I need to check out.”
“I’m sorry,” Left maid said, then the maid on the right spoke next. “But you're gonna have to wait for a while.”
“I’m gonna need more of a reason than that to not go in; girls.” Satou responded.
“Privacy, does that help get the message or have you forgotten that?” Left maid stated bluntly.
“Sister!” Right maid hissed but the maid beside her shrugged.
“I’m assuming whoever either owns you or owned you before, really wasn’t a nice guy.” Satou responded before adding. “Okay, then how long do you need us to wait to actually help him?”
“Tomorrow… maybe two… three?” The right maid started to say but changed from sure to unsure.
“Can’t tell when it concerns Jazzy Pop’s horny days.” Left maid sheepishly smiled.
“You do realise the longer he’s like he is, the harder it could be to fix him?” Satou responded before adding. “But I can understand why.”
Sonya frowned. "Wait, so we're really just gonna…?" She trailed off. Getting a deeper sense of the mare in the room ahead, she felt a shiver run down her spine, visibly fluffing up her tail. Something told her she did not want to entertain the idea of letting that mare use Sonya in place of the caribou… "Uh. Okay."
Satou then looked back to the maid again before saying. “I don’t know a lot about miss Pop’s, think you could tell me about her?”
The left maid used her fingers to count. “Let's see… Jazzy Pop’s is a nice mare. She used to work as a stripper but stopped and became a foal donner, you know what that is right?” She asked for clarification.
“Essentially a surrogate mother I assume?”
She nods as she continues. “Sadly she never knows where or who’s foals are hers. After a few years she stopped and wanted to have her very own foals; but because of her ‘needs’ and what she calls ‘horny days’; she couldn’t focus on that, just like now.”
“Well I assume being here really isn’t helping matters?” Satou responded.
The left maid shrugged. “I don’t know, wish we did.” The maid on the right nods slightly.
"Yeah… I can sense it. She is pretty strongly affected by the Crystal Cocks." Sonya observed.
“How do you know? You're a psychic, not a magic detector.” The left maid said sarcastically.
"Lust is also a mental state. Her mind keeps putting kinky images in mine." Sonya replied.
“Horny days are today so yeah, but that doesn’t prove that she’s affected by the crystal cock. I mean me and my sister are still ourselves.”
"True. I'd be thinking about hosting parasitic tentacles even without the crystal cock, so you have a point." Sonya conceded.
“Anyways, I don’t know when she’ll be done.” The left maid told Satou.
"If she isn't done before I leave for my world, I'll just have to be re-summoned to handle it when she is done." Sonya said.
“Well, with how horny she is and the caribou acting as if he’s a dog in heat I'd say a few hours today.” The maid on the right estimated.
“Okay, but could you send for me when they are sorted?” Satou requested.
“Sure, Master Satou.” Both maids said in unison, Satou nodded as both he and Sonya walked away.
As Satou and Sonya made their way back towards their rooms, Satou stopped. “Just to confirm, is there anything specific I need to do to allow me to sort out the message for my Token?”
"Most just figure it out on their own. Your message can be anything, but the message, in particular, can change how it works based on how you tell it to work. If you have any sort of energy, mana, or something like that, you can push a little bit of it into your token to get it to start accepting the message."
“And of course I have no mana or mana regen for an entire week, great choice past me.” Satou thought to himself before holding out his badge again, looking at it as he closed his eyes. Taking a breath before a black flame appeared under the badge.
Satou then seemed to smirk before holding the badge forwards and then calmly said. “To those who hold this token, my name is Satou Pendragon. If you require my aid or need someone to talk to, hold this badge out in front of you, call my name and I will heed your call. Just, don’t react too badly to the collars if I bring allies with me.”
After a few seconds, the flame under the token faded away before the token began to glow multiple copies beginning to form in his hand before burning black portals formed around them before each copy disappeared until only two remained, one in each of his hands.
Sonya gives a thumbs up. "Good message. Is that the second one for me?" She asked.
“Might as well be. I don’t know who else would need it anyway.” Satou responded passing the spare token to Sonya. Sonya stored it in her Manipulator and paused upon seeing it create a new inventory tab.
"Oh. I just got a new inventory tab for tokens. Nice." She noted out loud.
“I guess that's better for you than trying to carry them ‘all’ everywhere you go… or finding somewhere to hide them.”
"Yeah. At least a number of displaced get their own little "bag of holding" types of inventories. I bet Link would hate having to carry all these tokens around with him… I do recall there being a token that's a gun." Sonya began to lose herself in random thoughts out loud.
“Why do I get a feeling that one is either Alucard or someone from Psycho-Pass.” Satou responded with a shrug of his shoulders.
"Nah. I believe it was Warhammer, with a bit of Halo mixed in. I forget though. Haven't read the story, really." Sonya said "anyway-" Sonya cuts off when she spots a familiar face approaching.
Satou turned his head to see Sombra dragging in a large cart filled with books and scrolls into the house. She looked up to see Satou and calmly spoke. “Master Satou, here are all the books and recipes you requested.”
“Thank you Sombra.” Satou thanked her as he walked towards the mare as she suddenly began to rub herself up against him before getting scratched behind the ear by Satou as she began to purr almost like she was a kitten.
Sonya hummed. "So she's a girl in this world? And still named Sombra? Funny. I'd have expected her to be called Umbra." Sonya muttered to herself. "Is this… the result of that gender reassignment thing then?"
Sombra didn’t have time to respond though before Sombra’s eyes hazed over before her arms fell to her side before she said in a slow monotonous voice. “What do you require of me, master?”
“Why did you have to say that.” Satou groaned as he pinched the bridge of his nose. The change in Sombra's mental state surprised Sonya. But it also gave her an idea for her own Sombra.
"Hey, I didn't know that would happen. Nobody told me Sombra had a sleeper command."
“I’m more surprised you guessed the phrase as easily as that?”
"Umbra is Sombra's gender-bent name," Sonya answered. "I looked at a lot of pony porn when I was human."
“...Okay, two things, one I had no idea there was a thing, and two I had no idea Sombra was from anything from before I became Satou?”
"Yeah, Sombra is a significant part of Equestrian history. He used to be an iron-fisted ruler that enslaved the Crystal Empire and planned to enslave the entire world. Seeing her in this state, it makes me glad the Caribou got to her."
“I think I should say it’s Dainn who owns her.” Satou added.
"Huh. Well, he's a better king than Sombra was." Sonya noted.
“From what you said, I suppose it could be slightly argued being Dainn only enslaves females, and I’m assuming he went after everyone. At least that's some kind of gender equality… not a good kind but equality all the same.”
"Yeah, Sombra flourished off pain, misery, and fear. I've got him appointed as my chief of war in my world since my Equis kinda got exploded. No point trying to take over the world if there's no longer a world to rule." Sonya looked at Sombra. "So… how do you snap her out of this?"
“I simply order her back to normal.” Satou responded before saying. “Umbra, you're free to go back to normal.”
Sombra didn’t respond before shaking her head before saying. “Master Satou, is there anything else you require from me.”
“I don’t think so, is that everything I requested?”
“It is,” Sombra responded before walking over to the cart before saying. “these are the ones about the laws you need to be aware of and the others are the recipes for those strange potions you wanted… I mean who want a potion to allow you to permanently shrink someone down, or to change your sex for a few hours, no stallion would dare use the second on themselves.”
"Because I'm one kinky pussy," Sonya answered with what could only be described as an OwO face.
“They are for her,” Satou responded, “Seems she has… acquired tastes for things she enjoys.”
“So… she wanted to eat someone I assume, or put them inside her, using that ‘unbirth’ potion to turn some poor soul into her own offspring?” Sombra asked looking at Sonya, “or has she already done that one?”
Sonya chuckled. "No, not yet. I have a lot of fetishes, but I know not everyone shares them. I intend to take these back to my world, where I know a lot more people are willing to enjoy them." Sonya stated.
“Your own world?” Sombra responded in confusion as she looked at Sonya.
Sonya nods. "I'm displaced. I was summoned from an alternate universe where Equis was destroyed. I'll have to go back eventually. I have a god to kill."
“Umm… what I don’t understand,” Sombra responded in confusion.
“Umbra,” Satou replied as Sombra’s arms dropped to her side once again, “Forget everything Sonya said in regards to other worlds.”
“Of course Master,” Sombra responded.
“Good, return to normal,” Satou added as Sombra reverted back shaking her head.
Sonya shrugged. "Guess it's pointless to talk about parallel worlds."
“It is,” Satou responded.
“Well, if that's all, I shall take my leave,” Sombra responded before walking out leaving the house as she closed the door behind her.
Sonya chuckled after she watched Sombra leave. "God, having a sleeper must be fun. I wonder if I should do that to my Sombra…"
“I’m pretty sure there's a mind-control potion in there you could have him drink to change him as you see fit,” Satou responded calmly.
Sonya smiled as she picked the collection of items up, and put them in her Manipulator. She then promptly took them back out. "Alright, everything was added as a Codex to my tool. All of it is now free to use or return as you see fit."
“I’ll keep the stuff. I’m sure half of it could have a non-fetish use,” Satou responded.
Sonya nods and opens her codex to start reading through everything, starting with the laws. "Yeah. I know some kinks have practical uses."
“I’d love to hear what some of your thoughts on that one could be,” Satou responded as he looked to Sonya curiously.
"For vore, you could use it to smuggle people into or out of places, if you shrink them enough. The right parasite can serve as actually good armour too. I kinda forgot the rest, but I'm sure some of them have other uses as well."
“...or using the unbirthing & shrinking ones to plough a barren field so to speak,” Satou muttered.
"Oh yeah. I guess so." Sonya shrugged. "Oh, right, almost forgot. I was gonna give you the blueprints and crafting stations for a modular mech." Sonya opened another menu and started getting some blueprints out of her Manipulator. "Where do you want the Assembly table? It's gonna make noise, so it's best to put it away from bedrooms."
“Okay, one I still have no idea what you're on about, so maybe explain everything about this including what space is needed for everything so I have enough space for everything to be both planned out and to use effectively,” Satou suggested.
Sonya responded by summoning her own mech from her Matter Manipulator. It was only 13 feet tall, including thruster engines, legs, hull, and the two arm weapons, a gravity beam and a laser sword. "I'm talking about mechs this large. The Assembly table is about as wide but only as tall as the legs are. Somewhere like a large basement would be a good place to put it, but if you've got another large, open area to put it, that's fine too." She put her mech back in her manipulator, getting it out of the hallway that was a little too small for it.
Satou rubbed his chin for a second before saying, “I think the basement may be big enough, but we can only look and see.”
Sonya nodded to him before she said, "you lead the way."
After a couple of hours, both Satou & Sonya had filled the basement of the house with everything they needed, while Sonya had explained everything he needed to know about the equipment they had set-up.
"So to summarize, you plug in the manipulator to the crafting console, use it to move the parts to the slotting console, and then use this button on the manipulator to summon your mech." Sonya finished after all the talking.
“Okay, I think I understood all that,” Satou responded as he finished writing out notes of what he had been told. Sonya nodded, and stood back to let him view the blueprints on the part crafting console before he placed his own Matter Manipulator into it to see a table size display, it’s holoprojection shows the left to have a blueprint with the required parts while the right shows the product and what it’s about and below has the ‘Forge’ button. At the very end of both left and right has arrows.
“Okay, so that's how it looks, and it seems to be working,” Satou responded.
Sonya smiled. "I'd advise starting with the least expensive ones." She clicked on each of the tabs, showing off the least expensive, but also the weakest mech parts available. "These will help you at least get used to piloting a mech."
“Maybe something to try once I have my own resources built up,” Satou stated. Sonya nodded, before looking at the door a split second before it opened. The maid from before sticking her head in.
“She’s done, the Caribou is placed in an empty room on the main floor.” The maid told Satou.
Satou then looks at the mare. “Okay, we’ll be up in a second.”
“You might need to know that the caribou is uh… different.” The maid quickly added.
“What do you mean by ‘different?’” Satou asked looking back at the maid hoping to get an answer before she left.
“It’s best you see for yourself.” With that said; the maid left.
“That really doesn’t narrow it down,” Satou muttered to himself before he saw Sonya slot her own manipulator into the Assembly table to show the menu and how she had hers made. It was a simple menu. One tab with six slots for parts, the other tab for refuelling. Sonya's seemed to have a full tank. There was a display on the bottom that showed what types of fuel sources could be used.
She seemed to take a minute checking the console before removing her manipulator before they both left to go where the maid had said they had taken the Caribou to rest.
Once the group reached the room where the Caribou was being kept, they found the caribou on the bed all clean and asleep from exhaustion. But it wasn’t the same caribou as before as it has wider hips and huge breasts, a missing cock and feminine figure also gave them an idea of “her” gender.
Sonya seemed to have expected this as she kneeled down to inspect her. "Good. She's knocked out. That'll make this easier."
“I’m going to have to ask… Why is he a she now? I’m sure when we left him, I mean her, I mean… the poor guy, I mean girl was a… well guy.” Satou asked in confusion as he looked at Sonya, his mind clearly confused by the sight in front of him.
"The other guy did tell us this would happen. He never said when." Sonya pointed out.
“When did he say that?” Satou asked, looking at Sonya in confusion. Sonya recalls Satou wasn't there for it.
"While you were talking privately with Strikes." She answered.
“Of course that's when someone said something.” Satou responded with a shake of his head. “So anyway, what exactly are you going to do with her?”
"Whatever you want me to. Turn her mind back to what it was, make it better, or give it a complete rewrite- that's all up to you. Just tell me what, and I'll do it." She answered.
“Not saying this as a yes… but what do you mean by a complete rewrite?” Satou asked.
"As in, I could essentially write in a completely new mentality. One nothing like his old one or the current one. At your direction of course." Sonya explained.
Satou then turned to look at the unconscious Caribou before looking at her status information to find most of it blank including name. Other sections including a class were noted but the most strange was in her race, which read both Caribou and Demon.
After a couple of seconds he looked back to Sonya before calmly saying. “Would you be able to fix her mind into making her loyal towards me, but beyond that give knowledge on working as a maid maybe keep some of her knowledge on how to fight as well?”
Sonya nods. "Certainly. It'll only take a moment." She closed her eyes for a second before the gem on her forehead glowed. Sonya's face grimaced. "Yikes… I'll need a different gem first." She plucked out the Ruby out of its slot in her forehead, showing a set of electronics underneath. Then she replaced it with a pink gem shortly after. This caused her eyes to turn pink as well. She started again, and this time the Caribou's body reacted. Every muscle tensed, not unlike being filled with electricity, and her eyes shot open. But the eyes were pure white. No Iris or anything, just white. This happened for a minute before the Caribou's eyes closed again, and her body relaxed.
"Done." Sonya announced.
“That's all it took?” Satou responded in surprise.
"The right gemstone augment on my psychic powers can make a big difference. The Ruby is for enhancing psychokinesis, this one helps improve mental programming, sapphires help me create psychic attacks, etcetera." She explained. She switched her forehead gem back out to a Ruby, making her eyes turn red again.
“Okay… how long do you think she’ll be like this then?” Satou asked curiously.
"Passed out? I'd guess another hour." She answered.
“I see.” Satou responded before reaching into his bag pulling out ink, paper and a quill before writing out a note and sticking it on the back of the door as he and Sonya walked out. Sonya headed back to her room after making sure there was nothing else Satou needed from her.
After that, they both walked into their own rooms before Satou closed his door behind him as he turned to find Filo pretending to be asleep on his bed, her face resting on the cushions with her head turned to face the door as Satou saw one of her eyes open looking at him.
Satou didn’t respond to her actions as he walked over to the side of the bed before taking his armour off before lying down next to her and closing her eyes. Seconds later he felt a small body pull itself up against him as he just smiled wrapping an arm around the small child as he heard her quickly fall asleep after a couple of minutes later Satou followed suit.
