Hyrulequestria

Ch.50

I blinked as I found myself at my tree being snuggled by Deku with Shining falling from my grand canopy to bounce on my bosom until he settled on his hooves. “This will still take getting used to,” I commented, causing Deku to mumble in her sleep. The stars and her behavior told me that it was night here in this weird time-and-space-fucked place.

“Huh. She’s like a squirrel version of you.” Shining commented as he looked at the sleeping magic tree nuzzling my neck in her sleep. “And I just realized I forgot to grab a sword and shield.” Shining suddenly said, causing me to groan and facepalm with my free hand, the other occupied with helping support Deku.

“I don’t believe this...okay. Hold on.” I focused on my breast near his hooves, and flexed my magic, Out of my wooden flesh, grew a wooden blade and shield. “There. Should be stronger than you think, and sharper than reasonable.” The edge was made of angled and curved Plunder thorns, which were both incredibly sharp and durable. It wouldn’t cut through loose paper, but it would definitely dig into flesh and armor. The shield would also be sturdy.

After all, they’re made from me.

“Thanks, Robin.” Shining picked up the weapons, including the sheathe I’d grown with them that had a vine harness for him to strap it to his back, and he holstered the shield and sheathed the sword in a fluid motion. “Alright then, where to?” At his question, I emerged from between Tree Me’s eyes and shrunk back down to travel size as I flew up to the hero-to-be.

“We need to reach the Kulve mountains to the south.” I pointed at the tallest mountains south of the forest. “The caribou there are poisoning Deku and the forest by tainting the water,” I informed him and began flying ahead, before pausing and returning to him. “I hope you know how to get through the forest. The only reason I made it here before was because I had the Skull Kid and Saria to guide me.”

“Well, you just explained how I’ll get there.” I blushed at Shining’s astute response. “Now then, I’ve gotta get down from you.” Shining walked to the side of my right breast, well, Tree Me’s right breast and began climbing down. It was only when we got to Tree Me’s hip that I realized I could’ve just made a vine, and did so. “Ah, thanks.”

“I just wish I thought of these things sooner. There’s a reason I’m not the Hero.” I grumbled as I hovered nearby, staying near him as he slid down the rope to the grass of the clearing, which had already grown over the bare patches leftover from when Deku cleared a spot for me.

Shining didn’t bother chatting as he left the clearing, heading south into the forest. I was worried, he didn’t bother even looking for Saria, or Skull Kid, or even another Kokiri for guidance. Soon enough though, we got turned around and we ended up back at Deku’s clearing, the squirrelly tree still snoring away, but now there stood a rather stern-looking squirrel boy of orange fur but sharing Saria’s emerald eyes and tunic. “Huh? Thought I felt someone get lost. Who the Tartarus are you?”

“I’m Shining, this is Robin. We’re trying to head south, to the mountains, to stop the poison hurting the forest.” Shining declared calmly, and the little Kokiri boy huffed, tugging on the hem of his little green tunic as his fluffy tail flicked.

“Hah! Right. Like the Great Deku Tree would task a sock-headed goob to do what I, the Great Mido couldn’t handle! But if it’ll get you out of our forest, I’ll show you the path. If you get lost again and end up here, you’ll have to start over, but I’m not helping you more than that.” Mido haughtily stated, and then marched quite oafishly towards another section of trees that vaguely formed a path on the southwest corner of the clearing. “Here’s the path to the mountains. Now get lost!”

“Have some respect you little-!” I was interrupted by Shining somehow pressing a finger precisely to my lips.

“Thank you.” Shining nodded politely and began walking on the obscure path, and I followed with a huff, but I pulled down an eyelid and stuck out my tongue at the impudent little shit as I hovered behind the stallion.

I can’t believe how boring this is~! Shining kept ending up back at Deku’s clearing, the sky never got any brighter despite it feeling like several hours have passed, and the busty bark-covered babe never woke up any of the times we ended up back there. Eventually, though, we finally ended up on the other end of the forest, on a path leading up into the southern mountains. “Ugh~! There weren’t even any monsters to break up the monotony~!”

“I’m rather glad for that Robin. I prefer not to fight if possible. Violence should only ever be the last resort after all.” Shining sagely said as he trekked up the steep mountain trail with me sitting on his shoulder. I was considering napping in his hood, since it had that convenient sock in the back. Heh, I’d be proving so many game theorists right if I did that.

“I hope you don’t hold onto that belief when fighting monsters Shiny.” I worriedly commented, feeling a bit of relief as Shining’s eyes hardened at the mention of the natural minions of evil.

“I wouldn’t worry about that.” Shining held up his hands with his arms at right angles, and I wondered what he was doing when I yelped as he used magic to shove me into his hood. Wow! There’s maybe a whole closet worth of space in here! Lulu, you’re so sneaky! “I come in peace!” Wait, who is Shiny-?

“What are you doing so far from home pony?!” Demanded a woman’s voice from somewhere outside, and I tried to look around Shiny’s head, but his mane was too thick for me to see past.

“Ugh,” I groaned before trying to think, what can I do? I mean, I’m not a combatant or anything, but I’m powerful! Can’t I do something to force them to put down their weapons? My Order power to Order someone is actually limited to a single person, and I don’t think mind controlling their leader would do much other than trigger the underlings.

“State your business here Pony! Are you the one leading these Monsters?!” Another Voice growled. “We know you worship Grogar, you and all those Cultists!”

“Who the hell is Grogar?” Shining demanded with honest confusion. “Whatever, not the Gojira cult, I have business with your people. Who is dumping poison into the water leading to the forest below?”

“What? Damn it! They’re poisoning the water supply?! That’s why cows are getting sick!” Another female voice replied in horror. “Of course it takes a hermit in the wilds to find out before we do! Ugh! We’re not doing it, the monsters who’ve taken over the mines are!”

“Monsters are in the mines...alright I’ll deal with them,” Shining said with determination as he lowered his arms. “You don’t mind do you?”

“Guy, if you do, I’ll fucking have your fawns! Continue on the path, but head left at the fork to reach the mines. If you survive, go down the other path to reach the town.” The most authoritative of the voices ordered, and Shining began walking again.

“How did you know they were there?” I asked curiously. I mean, isn’t keeping an eye out my job? What is the point in me being here then if he’s more observant than me?

“One of the first lessons the Sheikah taught me was that awareness is key to nearly everything. I could hear the rocks in the area echoing their movements, smell their musk, and saw some shadows moving, even in the dark.” Shining informed me as I crawled out under his mane, my side rubbing against his thick, strong neck, until I was once more free of his incredibly comfy hood and no longer pressing against his rock hard shoulder and tight neck. No. I did not run my hand along his jaw as I hovered away from his warm body. Shut up.

“Oh, I feel kinda useless,” I whined before feeling a sharp itch go down my spine, much like whenever Majora laughed. I snapped to the left and pulled out...well my ‘me size’ luger at a clump of purple slime slithering towards us. “CHUCHU!” I shouted before I shot it. Which did nothing, since my bullets were literally the size of grains of sand. Ugh! “Shoot bigger rounds gun!” I screamed at my disobedient weapon. The absolute gall!

Idea, ask Luna for magical bullets. Or better yet, learn combat magic if I’m just gonna be the sexy little sidekick.

“Huh?” Shining blinked at me before taking aim at the monster with his rifle, blasting it into a glorious mess in a single shot, spraying purple goop everywhere. “Why were you so stressed out?”

“Because Chuchu are annoying little fucks that’s why!” I have no sympathy for a monster that gives slimes a bad name! Gives me a bad name! Nobody sullies my family! Except Elanor, Mom lets her do whatever it is she wants since there’s no controlling her.

“Okay then.” Shining casually accepted, reloading the spent cartridge, and we continued onward.

“I expected more resistance,” I commented with curiosity. The path here to this hastily barricaded mine shaft elevator was full of nothing but Chuchu and Keese. With how those cows back in the trail up from the forest were behaving, you’d think there were more mobs than these pitiful wild beasts.

“I’m a bit confused too. Those soldiers could’ve easily handled enemies like these. What’s inside that spooked them so much?” Shining mused as he grabbed onto one of the wooden boards nailed over the elevator, and gave a tug. “Unf stuck tight.”

“I don’t know.” I sighed as I watched Shiny’s arms bulge, his hips swivel as he positioned himself over and over again, the way they just thrust and-oh gawd I’m horny~! “Sh-Shiny? Do you feel...antsy?”

“Hm? A bit. Why? Isn’t this just how everywhere outside Kakariko feels?” The clueless stallion asked, and I sniffed the air more intently, feeling hotter, and hotter.

“Sh-shit! Th-there’s some sort of gas! It’s making me…” I groped myself, panting, flushing even redder as I moaned. “H-how are you not going crazy?!”

“I underwent intense resistance training. Every time I got aroused during the training, I got struck in the groin. Eventually, I came to associate arousal with pain, and it helps keep me calm.” Shining’s explanation actually made me feel intense pity for him, but right now I have more urgent issues!

“Oh, I’m sorry but wh...do...when did this training start?” I asked as I tried to think of anything besides how utterly fuckable the stallion in front of me was.

“About a year or two ago. Ruldi, my female instructor, was impressed at how quickly I took to the training.” He explained, which was about the time I got here.

“I...you...MAJORA YOU DICK!” I yelled before cramming my hands under my bikini bottom, fingering myself desperately. “So this is what Farore meant! I’m taking your arousal!”

“Oh. Sorry.” Shining apologized. “I can help you with that if you want.”

“Yes! Please!” I begged, flying to his face and shoving my groin to his lips. “Eat me!” I pleaded, and he began lapping at me as he magically worked on the boards to the elevator. Hng~! Zelda, you better plan on sharing~!

---]===>

“So~ much better.” I sighed, nuzzling Shining and kissing his cheek over and over as the elevator creaked and shuddered on its way down into the mine. “I’ll soak up all your needs if you satisfy me~.” I cooed as I nuzzled his cheek, pressing my boobs to his jaw.

“Impa warned me you’d be a raunchy minx, but to think you’re mostly like this because you’re taking my own horniness too makes me wonder, how perverted am I really?” Shining calmly considered as he ran a finger up and down my spine, sending shivers through me.

“Oh~.” I sighed, rubbing against him, I don’t care if I look like a pet. “I doubt it’s too much, though if you were fated for Cadence originally...”

“Fated to marry the Goddess of Love. Yeah. I guess I might be a real deviant then to keep her entertained.” Shining decided with a nod of his head. “I guess I’ll have to find out, whenever this ‘arousal link’ is undone.”

“I hope you’re okay with it,” I muttered and then groaned as I felt my core heating back up. What was with the air in this place? “Feeling hot already...I’m gonna hide in the hood. Hopefully, with only your arousal going to me, I’ll be able to go longer without needing...release.”

“Alright.” Shining chuckled as I briefly noted how perky he seemed to be, before going into his hood. No. I didn’t rub my ass against him on the way in. Shut up.

---]===>

Shining sighed as he felt Robin crawl, ever so slowly, along his neck and into his hood. He didn’t miss how she was pressing and rubbing against him. Shining readied his rifle as the elevator touched down with the bottom of the shaft. The room the elevator opened up into was typical enough, a straight tunnel further into the mountain, lit by electric lighting along the ceiling. He shot a couple of Keese that were flying at him, but aside from that, the tunnel was empty.

After reaching the end of the tunnel, he came to a simple wooden door, which fell over after he tried to open it. “Well...I don’t think this is in the original excavation plans.” Shining wryly commented as he walked into what had to have been a security and storage checkpoint. There was a destroyed door straight ahead, and also one giant hole dug into the wall to the left.

Considering the room was such tight quarters, Shining holstered the rifle and took out the shortsword and shield Robin grew for him from her body. He walked through the torch-lit room and looked into the hole, only to jump out of the way of a rolling ball of green scales that smashed through the table in the room and began hissing hoarsely.

“Haaassssss!” Roar-hissed the green two-legged monster, before taking a deep breath, and Shining jumped aside just as it heaved out a torrent of flame.

“Whoa!” Shining yelped as he looked for an opening on this lizard.

“Hey! What’s-oh! Shiny, Listen! That’s a Dodongo! It’s a fire-breathing menace with tough scales, but its tail is sensitive!” Robin called out as she poked her head from around Shining’s mane, and he quickly used her advice by rolling to the side, before slashing at the monster’s tail as he left the roll in a jump.

“Holy…” Shining looked at the blood glistening on his sword and the severed tail as the beast keened pathetically and collapsed. He heard a hissing noise coming from it and instinctively jumped away just in time to avoid a flesh-splattering detonation that sprayed gore everywhere. “What in Tartarus’ name?!”

“Oh, right! They also explode when they die. Sorry.” Robin tacked on, before nuzzling his cheek.

“Thanks.” Shining huffed before double-checking the room. Feeling an odd urge, Shining ran over to a few crates and tore them open, finding ore and other minerals in the crates, and he felt oddly disappointed. “What just happened?”

“Your looting instincts. The Hero always got by on whatever he could take from dungeons, the environment, and the bodies of monsters.” Robin informed him, before moaning and humping his neck. “Holy shit, Shiny. The gas! It’s so strong already! B-be thankful I’m taking all of this for you~!” Robin whined as she retreated back into his hood, and he tried to dutifully ignore the writhing, whining, and wet squelching noises coming from behind his head. At least the odd-dimensional pocket in the hood made that easier.

Shining still tore through all the containers, finding some hunks of gemstone that would definitely be worth trading in, and shoved them into his belt’s satchel, which was apparently linked to Robin’s own storage space, but required her to be nearby for that.

Once done looting the room, he went over to the hole the Dodongo had burst out of. It was just a burrow, likely dug by the Dodongo. He then went down the tunnel the other broken door led to. “Okay...definitely not in the excavation plans.” Shining nervously commented as he came into a beautiful empty cavern, the walls visibly had veins of precious metals and other ores all over the place, but that wasn’t what got to him.

The chamber was utterly gigantic. He was easily several stories above the floor of the cavern, where at the bottom laid a lake of molten liquid. It wasn’t lava since it lacked the orange hue of liquid stone. No, it was a bright, eye-hurting yellow. Shining looked between it, and the walls of the cavern, where the majority of the veins seemed to be of gold. “Is that a lake of liquid gold?”

“Holy shit!” Robin declared and rushed out of his hood, panting and sweating as she fanned herself. “It’s so hot in here! Shiny, don’t stay in this heat too long! I can feel my slime evaporating!” Robin dramatically insisted before going back into his hood with a whine about how it was even hotter out of the hood, and now that she mentioned it, he was already sweating buckets.

Shining ran along the ledge that seemed to run around the walls of the massive cavern, but the current section of it ended at a door, which he gladly entered and found relief from the oppressively hot cavern. The room he entered was oddly cool, and the sound of running water told him why as he went a bit further in, revealing a small creek running from a hole in one wall, across the center of the room, and into the hole on the other wall.

“Whew! What is with this place. Gas that makes you horny, a hot central chamber, with cold outlying rooms? Is this place a metaphor for menopause or something?” Robin commented as she left his hood, and dove into the water with a sigh.

“Is the gas still getting to you in here?” Shining asked his guide, who thus far was more pleasant company than anything truly helpful to the quest. Also, she tasted like cornbread for some reason.

“Not as much, no. I’m guessing it’s the main chamber back there where the gas is coming from, so as long as the air isn’t venting from there we should be good.” Robin declared as she rose into the air from the water, dripping and looking refreshed. “Ah~. Now then, let’s get going.” She dove into his hood, and he crossed over the creek to the door on the other side, entering a tunnel that was full of water, and dodongos.
