Howl at the Moon (Re-up)
Herd Life Chose Me
Previous ChapterNext ChapterI didn't answer her immediately. I couldn't. I told her I had to think, I didn't know what I should do. I told her I would give an answer on the train ride home. After that, I walked around the castle.
I just wandered around, not really thinking about where I was heading. I was definitely thinking about what Twilight asked me, and how the girls thought of it. She had said that they had already talked about it, and they all agreed.
I eventually found myself in a garden. it was like a greenhouse one, jungle-ish in appearance, and inside the castle. It was humid, and the trees were thick and tall, the air humid, and the sounds of animals coming from all around. I couldn't possibly identify all of them, but I heard frogs, birds, and monkey's. I listened, and found it strangely relaxing. I didn't know why. I walked down the path towards the center of the jungle like room, and reached it. I saw a few tables, and sat at one. I then thought, why did they have this in here? Why did they have a jungle room? I decided that they did because fuck it. Why not? It was better than Elvis's jungle room, which was full of stuffed animals.
I sat for a while, and just thought about what Twilight asked of me. Herd Master. I guess I could, I mean, I do like all of them. They are nice, and have shown me more kindness than more humans. They are pretty, but that is just superficial, and isn't the only thing to notice. Fluttershy loves animals, and I do to. I feel the need to protect her, because she is so timid. Applejack is a hard working girl, and she is honest during her interactions with everyone. Twilight is smart, and a bookworm, like me. Rainbow Dash is competitive, and so am I, and I like being her competition. Rarity is pretty, and her clothes are amazing, and I am a little interested in fashion. And Pinkie Pie, well, I work for her, and i love her cooking, and I like cooking too.
I decided. I will tell them on the train. In the meantime, let me get some presents ready. I want to please the girls, and give them something in my gratitude. I will head to my room.
The train ride from Canterlot to Ponyville was eventful. We talked and joked and laughed. After about an hour into the trip, I decided to give out the presents.
"Okay, girls, I have presents. However, one question. Do you trust me?" They look at each other, and then they all nod to me. "Good, well, here you go."
I then pull out six boxes from my hammerspace. I had spent all night making these, and I was now aware of the fact that my arm doesn't lose any mass when I break off pieces of it. I had used the crystal that made up my arm to make all of these gifts.
I handed each girl their box. I then said. "Okay, before you open them, choose an arm, and after that, open it." They continue to give me confused looks, but nod understanding. They all think for a second, and then open the boxes.
Each girl has a crystal dragon, about two feet long, with a wingspan of about a foot each wing, and had a long tail and head. Each dragon matched the color of each mare, except Rarity's. Hers was the royal purple of her hair, while Twilight's was lavender, instead of royal purple like her hair was. I had made Rarity's this way so it would be more noticeable.
"Okay, put your selected arm near it, and don't freak." They did as I said, and then the dragons moved.
Each dragon crawled out of the box, and crawled onto the arm of the mare it was supposed to. It made it's way up, and when it reached whatever clothing they wore, it would make it's way under it, moving into each girls shirts. The dragons made there way up to each girls shoulder, and put its head to stick out of the neck line. A few of the dragons held their heads up, while others would do something else. Twilight's dragon laid its head down the front of her shirt, as did Applejacks and Pinkie's. Fluttershy's dragon licked her face with its crystal tongue, and then curled itself onto her shoulder. Rarity's dragon had it's head perked up and looking forward, staying still near chin.
Rainbow's dragon had turned itself around, and its head was near her elbow, it's wings and legs wrapped around her bicep. The tail was wrapped around her neck.
Each of the other dragons had wrapped it's wings and legs around the girls arms, near the shoulder and armpit. The tail wound down each girls respective arm, ending an inch from the wrist.
After about of minute of shifting around from all the girls and dragons, the dragons stopped moving. After they did, the girls moved to look at each of the dragons.
"Okay, now, let me tell you about them. I made them all from my arm, so yeah. Don't worry, it didn't hurt Fluttershy." The girls question died in her throat. "They do come off. All you have to do is say 'off', and they will. Same with putting it back on, say 'on', and it climbs on. You can switch arms, and they will move with you, so they won't hinder movement. It doesn't do much, so don't expect it to do anything. It is made to be like jewelry. I did make them able to move on their own, so you can use it to for things. Think of it as jewelry that can move."
The girls were looking at their dragons, and poking at them. Twilight had her horn ignited, and I think she was probably looking at the spell matrices, looking at the magic I had used to make them.
"And girls." They look at me. "This leads me into my next point of conversation. As you probably know, Twilight asked me a question last night, and you know what it is. And, I have an answer.
I have decided, to be your girls herd master."
The girls stop taking looks at their dragons some more, and have their eyes on me. Rainbow Dash asks the first question.
"Cameron, are you serious?"
I nod my head.
All of their faces start to brighten up, and a second later, I am dog piled by the girls, as they pounce on me and smother me with hugs and kisses. I found my heart fluttering with happiness. I had six of the most beautiful mares I had ever set eyes on, and they all wanted me. I loved them all, personality and body each, and they loved me, for myself. I almost started to cry.
I finally felt loved.
After about five minutes of the girls hugging and kissing me, they got off me. I got off the floor, and back into my chair. Pinkie was vibrating in her chair.
"YAY, now when I get home, I need to start on our 'herd party'. Cameron, I need you to come to Twilight's library later today. Also, cancel your date with Palmela Handerson. She wont be needed anymore." The other girls looked at me with fury. Pinkie calmed them down.
"I was saying he doesn't have to masturbate anymore." The girls looked at her, and then all of them blushed. Then Applejack thought.
"Wait, how does that have to do with masturbation?" So I help out and explain. I hold up my hand and point.
"PALMela, HANDerson. The palm and hand." She gets it then. After that we all talk for the rest of the trip.
"Girls, real quick, i would like to know the benefits and rules of my position. Tell, me, what should I expect from now on, being herd master?" Twilight starts the teachings.
"Well, herd master has final say on any argument, fight, or destination of travel, unless otherwise stated. The biggest rule of herd masters, is that if anypony comes and challenges you for the herd, you need to fight. If you don't, it can mean one of two things, you don't care what happens to the herd, or you don't see the opponent as worthy to fight for your herd. Those are the biggest things you need to know." Pinkie.
"The benefits, you get anyone of us whenever you want, any way you want. You can take us whenever, and as long as it isn't abusive, and you know what I mean, then it is fine. One of the unspoken rules is to keep it out of public. In the bushes is fine, just don't let the kids know. No one likes having kids watch you having sex."
"I would never do that, and thank you for the need to knows. I am ha-." We were coming up on Ponyville, and I could feel something was wrong. I looked out the window.
Ponyville looked fine. I didn't understand. Something wasn't right. I could sense something wasn't right. The girls noticed my agitation, and asked about it.
"Something is wrong. I don't know what, but something doesn't feel right. Something is going on, and it isn't good." They all get ready to disembark the train, and are on the lookout as we exit. I pull out the bonesaw I got from Mologan, and reach out.
"Okay, who wants this? I need to get rid of it, cause I don't want it." Each of the girls look at it, and then Fluttershy steps forward.
"Fine, I'll take it. It is a bonesaw, and I have the most knowledge and use with them."She reaches out and grabs the handle of the saw, still closed, and it flips out suddenly, opening up. After that, the dragon I gave her starts to move. It uncoils itself from her arm, and makes its way to the weapon. When it gets next to it, it opens it's mouth and seems to breath on the entire weapon. Then, the weapon starts to change.
It starts to flake, and the metal starts to rust, the wrappings starting to decay and fray. After a few seconds, the rust and decayed wrappings fall off, and the weapon looks different. The grip is now a steel grip with leather wrappings dyed pink, done neatly along the entire end. The blade is now sharpened, and the crooked mismatched teeth of the saw are now clean and uniform. The blade has been gold plated, and at the bottom, near the hinge, a gem in the shape of a pink butterfly was embedded and magically sealed into the metal. The hinge was now faster, cleaner, and held together better than before.
We all stared at it, briefly for getting the ominous air of Ponyville. Then I spoke.
"I didn't make the dragons to do that. That was something else making it do that. But hey, that is good, no more demonic voodoo on it. Lets get prepared for a fight, and put our shit away. Then, meet at Twilight's, not yet for the party Pinkie, because you know, but to hopefully figure out what is going on." the girls agreed, and they headed off to their homes.
As I headed to mine to drop of my duffel bag, which I happily still had from so long ago, I noticed something off about the ponies around town. They all seemed to have dull, glassy eyes, and they almost seemed to shuffle when they walked. I saw the CMC, and I called out to them. They responded, but it seemed to quick. Something was wrong with them. I walked up to them.
"Hey girls, how are you. Hey, your moms have something they want to say, so meet us at Twilight's in about twenty minutes, okay?" They nod, again, it seems just a little too quick, like they had been speed up by something.
"Hey, is everything okay?" This time, I pay extra close attention. And even then, I barely missed it. They shook their heads no, but just for a split second, they almost nodded, before it. The head started to dip, but then it shook no. I pat each of their heads, and jogged off, heading to my house. I needed to get their and see Satan. Maybe I should name her Lucy, after her other name, Lucifer. Maybe some other time, I need to fix what wrong with Ponyville.
