Chapter 2 - Pink Princess of Lust

Previous ChapterNext Chapter

Evan was contemplating throwing himself off the window. He was pretty high within the castle. That made him FAIRLY certain that he would end up like street pizza if he did it. It was a beautiful thought while his face was, once more, buried within his hands.

Also Cadence was patting him on the back with one hoof. It made things worse.

The young princess was exactly as depicted in the series: Taller than the average pony, three toned mane, bubblegum pink coat, the whole thing. She also had her regalia and all. From what Evan had seen she also seemed quite approachable and nice too, though her attempts at ‘comforting’ him after his blunder hadn’t been the best.. At first Cadence had tried to look dignified before he approached the sulking young man. If she had been apprehensive, or even afraid of what Evan could do, the first impression had all but shattered her expectations in as many ways as you are willing to think of.

“I am sorry. I should have knocked.” Cadence said as gently as she could. Evan couldn’t see it, but the princess of love was trying her best not to laugh as he offered him a sympathetic smile. “It may be my aunt’s castle, but being polite is a must.”

Evan said absolutely nothing. He, at best, let out a grunt.

“I was coming to ask you about you.” Cadence admitted. “Auntie is busy these days, busier than I have seen her in awhile, and she has been… inspecting what brought you here.”

Finally, and with much resignation, Evan lifted his face ever so slightly, away from his hands. “What brought me here?”

Cadence nodded. “Yes. It seems so kind of spell malfunction, or even a curse! Nopony touches that kind of stuff without a lot of protection, so I guess it was well hidden, or you were very unlucky, mister…”

“Evan, Evan Lancaster.” Evan offered. “And I doubt anyone would notice back home. Magic is not real from where I come from.”

Cadence, for the faintest of moments, seemed to blink and reset. “Come again?”

“No magic.” Evan repeated. “It is a myth. No other ‘smart’, or well, sapient, species beyond us humans too. There are relatively smart animals and all, but that is it.”

“Oh…” Cadence looked down to the ground for a second. When she looked up again she had a very curious, maybe even doubtful, look on her face. “But you… know what magic is. How can there be no magic where you came from then?”

“Books, comics, movies, games.” Evan shrugged. “Humans don’t have magic, true, but we have a big imagination. We couldn’t fly, so we invented planes. We couldn’t go to the moon, now we can. It is difficult, and costly, but we can go there, and beyond.” The young man chuckled as he saw the face Cadence was making. “Imagination, innovation, and trying things until they work. Maybe we don’t have magic, but we ‘create’ worlds where it exist… Then again, that is fantasy, make believe and even acting. If what you say, magic is real here, so two things…” He did his best to appear full of wonder and curiosity. In part, he was, in part, he (technically) already knew. “Your name, if you don’t mind, and… How does magic really work?”

At first it was like Cadence didn’t know what to say. From what Evan knew of the character, as he had seen the series, maybe up to the fifth season or so (he had lost track a bit there), he did know that she was good with statecraft and foals, that she was nice and all that. But just how much was the same, how much was loyal to the comics that he never looked into, and how much was this version’s original take on the mare?

“My name is Cadence, nice to meet you. And magic is… complicated.” Cadence began after she collected her thoughts, offering him a smile as she shared her name. “It is everywhere, in everything. Some things, or creatures, have more than others, or even use it differently. Dragon magic mostly works to give them strength, resilience, and resistance against both fire and magic itself, strangely enough. Ponies like me? Depends on the species. But all of us can use it, though it is mostly visible through unicorns.”

She demonstrated by lifting something. A small lamp in fact, on the small table that Evan had largely ignored and that sat at the side of his bed. The aura of magic was, unsurprisingly, similar to the cartoon, only seeing it for real made the thing look far less obvious; you had to concentrate to see the light at all.

“That looks like levitation.” Evan remarked offhandedly.

Cadence chuckled. “Well, yes, it is a very basic spell. It comes as second nature to most unicorns and is largely the most, and sometimes only, spell they use. Some develop a control that is complex and innate, others not so much. It depends on the pony, really.”

“But is it the only magic out there?” Evan tried to get Cadence going some more. If nothing else the conversation was at least pleasant, and it had the added benefit of, hopefully, puting that disaster of a first impression to rest. “Or is there more?”

“Much, much more!” Cadence smiled as she clapped her hooves together, the special shoes of hers making a gentle metallic ‘clink’ as they touched. “Invisibility, transformation, time dilation magic, elemental, arcane… Probably anything you thought of! I mean, dark magic, like necromancy and blood magic, is hardly used unless under supervision or sanctioned, which is very rare, but…”

Evan had to admit he was surprised there. “Huh… In most stories and stuff, those are usually ‘evil’, you know? Like demons, and stuff.”

“It… depends, I suppose.” Cadence conceded with a bit of a humm. “I mean, succuponies aren’t common, but they do exist, and aren’t evil. Though many don’t exactly like them, you know?”

“They… are?” Evan found himself scratching his head in wonder. “Succubus are a thing of myth on my world, like pegasi, unicorns and other things, as well as magic. But… well, succubus supposedly to be stupidly beautiful women that kill you when they are ‘done’, you know?”

“Oh! Nonononono!” Cadence shook her head and motioned the same way with her arms in a frenzy. “They are just extremely lewd and sexually active, you know? It is already hard enough for mares to marry, even to form herds, with how few stallions there are. Succuponies are rare, but they sometimes go so far as to hoard stallions, or males from other races, so most ponies and other creatures just… don’t like them taking their males away.”

“I see… Do tell me more, if you don’t mind?”

Cadence didn’t mind, and Evan had to admit, he learned a lot in the minutes they spent talking.

Magic of the mind, arcane powers, spells created through the elements, dark magic that required either sacrifices or a lot of control and more… This was quite different from the cartoon, but it had some similarities. The color of the auras were supposed to be the same, the visibility was different for… something. Evan didn’t understand the technical aspects of that. And cutie marks were basically ‘skill based’, and also dependant on what a pony liked the most (After all, if you do what you like, sooner or later you’ll get to master it, no matter how utterly garbage you may be at first).

Luckily for him, Cadence didn’t know all the ins and outs of the magic stuff. She knew a lot, but from what she told Evan there was enough knowledge and technical terms to fill a dozen manuals, or more, that would awe just about anyone. Evan had never been so thankful when someone was unable to fully answer his question.

He was also in love with the fact that Twilight wasn’t here to murder his brain with knowledge and questions.

By the time they hit twenty minutes of nonstop talking and questioning each other, they had arrived at the part that held more interest for Evan. Namely: Modern and general history.

It began with Cadence bringing something from their previous conversation back up.

“Hey, I remembered something.” Cadence muttered. She had been talking less and less the last minute or so. Why? Because she was lying her head on Evan’s covered lap as caressed her side. Did you know ponies could purr? “You said unicorns were myths on your world?”

“Yeah, and pegasi, and a lot of other creatures.” Evan reaffirmed with a slow nod. To be honest he wouldn’t mind staying like this for a while.

Cadence hummed in affirmation. “Are there ponies in your world, though?”

“Well, yes… but they are just animals.” Cadence’s closed eyes quickly opened and bored into Evan’s own. “I meant it when I said we, humans, were the only ‘intelligent’, as in sapient, species. Everything else is, ‘at best’, a smart animal. Ponies, horses, and any other creature other than humans, is just that. If you have apes, like monkeys, gorillas or the like, in here, then it is the same for me: We humans evolved from them.” Evan hoped that, at least, that was enough for Cadence to stop looking at him funny.

She did stare for a moment longer, hummed and closed her eyes again. “Our ancestors are horses, or so the smartest ponies say: Big powerful… and dumb. They were huge, taller than you, but had no magic or knowledge of, well, almost anything. At first there were only horses, then they moved to the hotter regions and evolved into ‘Desert Horses’. From there came the Earth Ponies and Saddle Arabians, if I recall correctly. Then the Earth Ponies also produced Pegasi and Unicorns, but when that happened most of the Ponies moved from the desert lands and away from the Saddle Arabians, dividing the species.” Cadence let another humm, now in thought as she fought to recall old lessons and information she hadn’t used in a long time. “Earth Ponies that stayed in the desert turned into the Zebra with time, then also moved away from the Saddle Arabians. Some Earth Ponies that lost most of their connection to magic gave birth to Donkeys and Mules, depending on some things that I don’t remember. Legend say that some of these Earth ponies with little magic went to the frozen wastes and found something that returned said magic, but turned them into Crystal Ponies in the process. Pegasi that stayed in caves and dense forest made the Thestral, but that is all since they are the more ‘stable’ Ponies magically. Unicorns were the most varied with their connection to magic: Those in the frozen wastes turned to dark magic, creating the now largely lost Umbrum, the ones in the forests and more in tune with nature, changed into the Kirin, with a few cults worshiping demons and creating succuponies in some process now long gone, though they are considered more demon than pony. Some even said that unicorns and pegasi alike hid in the swamps a loooong time ago, creating something else, but auntie has never told me what and the books don’t say much more than that.” She paused for a second, taking a hoof to her chin and a relaxing breath after her speech. “I think that is all for us… Did humans evolve like that too?”

Evan snickered a bit at the question. “More or less. We had a lot of ‘subspecies’ so to speak, but it had more to do with overall body structure and simple genetics, as well as a clearer or darker skin. Overall it was mostly a small difference in general ‘attribute allocation’ so to speak. Some breeds of human are better physically on average, others were naturally more mentally inclined and not so physical adept, but the difference is not so big it cannot be overcome with a different upbringing, training, studying or luck with genetics. It wasn’t as extreme as, say, growing wings and flying.”

“Sounds boring.” Cadence admitted without much of a filter as Evan kept rubbing her tummy.

Evan chuckled at that but he didn’t say anything. This was nice. He almost forgot he was in a ‘game’ and with a ‘timer’ that, instead of advancing the plot, would basically put him a few feet under.

Still…

‘Let’s see if this works… Uh… M.O.C, Scan Cadence.’

Without a word the ‘machine’, or whatever it was, let out a humm. A second later, as Evan looked down at Cadence, not stopping his ministrations, a small window popped on her body, slowly growing in size until it became big and clear enough for Evan to see.

It showed nothing surprising in the main screen, which, incidentally, was the ‘Character’ one. There was no ‘main’ screen for other people it seemed. All it said was Cadence’s full name ‘Mi Amore Cadenza’, her title/job if any (Guess what it was), if she was married/had a partner/children (Again, no surprises there with Shining Armor being marked as ‘mate’, but nothing more, yet) and other such details.

What surprised Evan was that this screen also hinted at her mood with a meter that went from ‘Elated’ to ‘Distraught/Furious’. Apparently she was up there as ‘Content’. It also hinted at her view of him with a meter that went from ‘Fully Trusted/Treasured Friend’ to ‘Distrustful/Hateful/Enemy’, and in this case it wasn’t so high as her mood, but it was at least in a ‘Relaxed’ position with him. Next came, much to his chagrin, her ‘horny’ meter, for lack of a better word. From ‘Completely Satisfied/Calm’ to ‘In Season/Desperate’, with Cadence being now around the middle as ‘Largely Unbothered/Sexually repressed’, which was, admittedly, funny to read.

There were other meters that pointed at their desire for him, addiction to his cum and a few other things related to Evan. The poor young man didn’t know how to take it, but he had at least resigned to this being his life. If nothing else he had expected something like this crap, but he had hoped for it all to, well, not be, you know?

For Skills and Abilities? Well, she had Super Strength, Greater Toughness, Flight and Unicorn Magic (Fucking Duh), but also an array or simple magic spells that were largely unimpressive for an alicorn. The most interesting were the ‘love’ related powers, though, much like Evan thought, they were meant mostly for detecting love and help amplify the effects of positive feelings of friendship (Small effect), love (Larger effect), and… lust!? It apparently was an open secret that Cadence was as much the Princess of Love as the Princess of Sex, or that is what the skill description hinted at. It also seemed that she had a Morphing Spell too, much like Evan’s possible Morphing Touch, and at high level to boot! She likely used it to help couples and herds when there were… inadequacies, because it was high level and, yes, it also consumed permanent POWER from her (Magic in this case), but she had a lot of bonuses that made it likely imperceptible, if it ever made a dent.

And for Traits? Mostly ‘Pegasi Born’, which meant she was born a Pegasus and, thus, had a great natural flight control. With ‘Alicorn Ascended’ (Minor) as a secondary. That one hinted at her having stupid reserves of magic, being able to grow them easily and being far more resistant to damage, magical effects and other such things than the average pony.

That at least got him to remember one thing Cadence hadn’t spoken about. “Hey, Cadence…”

Suddenly the voice of M.O.C assaulted his senses -WARNING! HP Under 20%! Game Over imminent!-

Evan stiffened, not hearing Cadence as she tried to get his attention. ‘What!?’ Evan asked. ‘HOW!? I was full when Cadence came in!’

Cadence’s window was supplanted by his own. It went straight to ‘Character’ and showed not only his HP Bar quickly depleting, but an icon, blinking furiously, with what looked to be a drop in three colors: Blue, white and red. Luckily for him, M.O.C decided to tell Evan what it was without him having to move an inch.

-Sex Starvation.- Evan wanted to facepalm so fucking hard. Still, this was ‘porn’ gaming, so… -The magic of the world is starting to get to you. Your own POWER is draining your life force. You require to consume new Magic and refine it to stop the process. HP Drain increased exponentially.-

‘How can I be ‘sex starved’ if I have to fuck nearly constantly anyway!?’ Evan screamed at M.O.C within his mind. ‘How could I ever go too long without having a fuck?’

-Masturbation and certain foods, drinks or potions can regain certain amounts of HP while cycling your magic and renewing it slightly.- M.O.C explained. To be honest, Evan thought that wouldn’t work, but he supposed it wasn’t so strange in hindsight. -The more POWER you acquire in total, the faster the ‘Sex Starved’ debuff comes into play, and the lesser the effect of other means of ‘renewing’ the timer will be. Min time for debuff to activate: One day. Max: One week. Periods of isolation are not recommended under any circumstance.-

M.O.C seemed to believe itself a comedian, didn’t it? Well, at least that gave him some time… not that he would spend that long without getting some. It wasn’t that he wanted it THAT much, more like he had both Nightmare Moon and Celestia to worry about. Whether he wanted it or not, he was going to need a lot of POWER to not get splatted on the wall or something. Also, to just not die one day because he didn’t get his dick wet fast enough, but again, details.

Suddenly he felt a hoof push against his nose.

“You spaced out.” Cadence brought him out of his recent troubled musings and also dissipated the status window. “What happened?”

Evan shook his head and tried to offer her a gentle smile. He felt guilty right away, but he had to do it. When he returned to his rubs, he activated the ‘Pleasurable Touch’. Instantly a bar, blue like the usual color of mana, appeared on the corner of his view as the effect began to take place and Cadence became slightly tense under his ministrations.

“Sorry about that.” Evan was genuinely sorry when he said that. “I just… I think it finally hit me that I am in another world and likely not going to go back.”

“Y-you surely will!” Cadence did her best to act natural and not squirm. It was both adorable and funny. “Aunty is l-looking into it right now.”

Evan could see how, every few seconds, ten points of his 450 POWER available were ‘burned’ temporarily. He also noticed his ‘mana regeneration’, or however you wanted to call it, helping immensely in making this burn slightly slower. However, Evan also saw that, because it was Cadence, and lust was probably her thing too, the consumption was much slower, because it was hinted at with a huge buff side by side with an equally huge debuff that said ‘Alicorn Resilience’.

Any other alicorn would’ve fucked him up by now. It only gave him a sad reinforcement to what he had already believed as fact: If he didn’t play the game, hard, he wasn’t going to last long.

In fact he was playing it and he was going to get done in moments.

“Maybe…” Evan tried to act calm himself as he spoke. “But most stories with a human going to another world usually don’t end with them going back, or with a happy ending in some cases.” He gave a simple and apparently uncaring shrug. “When I saw you, apart from the shame of our first meeting.” THAT got a chuckle, and small moan, out of Cadence. “I resigned myself to this either being a dream… or very much real.” And that wasn’t 100% a lie.

“I p-promise-e tha-at auntie will d-do her best.” Cadence stammered as Evan heard a *Ding*. Apparently his skill went to level 2 already, making the consumption slower, giving him more time. Alicorns were good training! “And we’ll h-help you with the c-curse’s e-eff-ects.”

“Effects?” Another *Ding*, more time, and more spasming Cadence. She was both so resilient AND vulnerable it almost made Evan chuckle. “What effects?”

“Oh… you k-know…” Cadence flat out gasped as she tried to contain herself. “L-lack of a s-sheath… S-s-size…”

Evan stopped instantly. Even Cadence’s complaining whiny didn’t get him to smirk, or act.

“That has always been my size.” Evan’s voice dripped with badly hidden anger, though where it was directed was not easily discernible. “And humans don’t have sheaths.”

Those were the most uncomfortable five seconds of silence Evan had been part of in a long time.

“Oh…” Cadence blushed like mad, her ears down, and muzzle scrunched up in shame. She didn’t rightly know what to say, so she went for the simple: “Sorry…”

With a grumble Evan went back to his belly rub while activating his ‘Hypnotic Touch’. His Power began to drop DRAMATICALLY, but soon it slowed down. Apparently the mix of pleasure coming from his rub and Cadence’s ‘Feeling of Guilt’ (I kid you not) made her even more susceptible. It had consumed nearly 200 POWER in mere seconds though, and slowing down to near the previous consumption only gave him a short time frame. Evan had little time.

“Let’s forget about it for now.” Cadence let out a humm as she nodded. “You said your aunt could get me back? How?” Evan questioned, or more like prodded, Cadence for an answer.

“We are alicorns. We are Earth Pony, Pegasus and Unicorn, all in one.” Cadence seemed to be more in control of herself, funnily enough, as Evan had both skills working at once. “I was ascended: I found my special calling in a way few others could. Auntie was born that way. We live a lot longer than most ponies, though modern medicine is helping with that, so I suppose Shiny will live as much as I will now, if we get a supply of crystals from the frozen wastes. What is REALLY different is that we have a lot of magic, and grow in power very fast, faster than any other creature. Auntie has lived a LONG time, so she has a lot of magic to call upon, more than me, a lot more. If anypony can do it, it is her. She moves the Sun and the Moon, you know?”

Well, that was a lengthy explanation for what little time Evan had, but it headed in the way he wanted it to, more or less.

A couple of *Dings* made him get back into the game. “And you said you could ‘fix’ what the curse did?”

“Auntie could. I could. It would be easier for me.” Cadence nodded slowly. Her eyes were only partially focused. “But you said it was no curse. That it was like that before you came here.”

Another *ding* and his Hypnotic Touch hit third level. “True, but you want to help me, don’t you?” Cadence nodded slowly once more. His time was getting short. Evan pushed much harder than initially intended. “Are you horny, Cadence?”

She let out a lengthy moaning breath before giving a very husky. “Yesss… I feel… needy… Your touch was… nice… And I haven’t been with Shiny in… days. He is so nice… makes me feel special and oh so GOOD in bed… But he is boring, bland… He wants things… safe… and he doesn’t want to play in all ways I want.”

Evan summoned Cadence’s status window once more while looking at his ever depleting POWER bar on the side. Her status clearly started she was ‘horny’ now, and the status bar was rising, with nothing else dropping, maybe even going up slightly alongside her need.

He wouldn’t get a better chance, and he had a very literal time limit and little option beyond taking it.

“Cadence, you need release, and maybe that got you to have a slip of the tongue. You want it, and you want to make up for being so rude.” Evan had to admit it wasn’t exactly pleasant to be pushing things this way, but he wasn’t going to just give up and fall down dead. “You got so needy though… You need release… How to solve both problems?” As he thought, his mind going a mile a second, more *Dings* on the background hinted at greater skill, with the bars depleting on the corner of his vision making him anything other than happy about it. “Why not fulfilling your fantasies and helping me at the same time? Make me as big as you wish you could have, with large testicles that could match a load for the large cock you wish for. You never get to fulfill your desires with Shiny, don’t you? Well, you are also the princess of lust, and I am someone from another world. What better way to be an ‘ambassador’ than to give all you can and show me the most literal meaning of your role?” Evan hopped that was all he needed to do, because he found himself going into a panic as the blue bar approached full depletion. If Cadence found out what he had been doing he would be toast right on day one! “You will think no time has passed since you were so… inconsiderate. You have spaced out and, somehow, got these naughty ideas stuck in your mind. Cadence, you will wake up in three, two, one, now.”

Evan could feel as if his heart was literally in his throat as he took his hands off Cadence and turned his skills off. Hypnotic touch was at 4 and the other at 6, all the while his POWER supply had stopped at 7. At best he had a second, maybe two, left, when he hastily ended his little foray on unknown territory.

He was fully determined to NEVER get this close to death again. As stupid as he thought this situation was, he didn’t want to be this scared ever again. Fuck, he had never, EVER, thought he could get afraid of failing in a porn game of all things! Shame that was his life now.

Or maybe he had failed already?

He hadn’t noticed it before, but Cadence was looking at him intently. Evan didn’t know if Cadence had been doing so since he stopped using his skills or not, but the fear gripped at him once more.

Had Evan failed and reached 0, only for it to slightly recover after he finished his first attempt? Was Cadence going to throw him in a prison or something? Or maybe she would call Celestia and he would be thrown to the sun? Fuck that ‘Land of Harmony’ bullshit! Everyone knew that ponies were fucking racist! He was done! GAME OVER MAN! GAME OVERRRRR!!!

“How long have I been out of it?” Cadence caught Evan off guard, making him jump a little in place. She looked a bit confused, thankfully, not angry or ready for vengeance was good enough, so he would take it.

To his credit, Evan recovered quickly. “Crist, Cadence! Don’t scare me like that!” The pretty pink pony princess let out a very brief chuckle. “You just kept looking at nothing for… what? A hot minute, maybe two? I didn’t think that little ‘slip’ would hit you so hard.”

Cadence bit her lip. “I just… didn’t want to offend, you know?”

“Eh…” Evan waved the concern away, though it HAD ticked him off. Maybe it had been a good thing too. It was what made him man up and do what had to be done. “I have been told worse things. More so with those I had fun after the fact. People just can’t stop themselves.” And really, those times it happened hadn’t been what you’d call a disaster so much as they had been… awkward afterwards. “So don’t feel too bad.” He finished by placing a hand on Cadence’s belly again.

The effect was instantaneous.

Cadence bit her lip once more, eyes wide as saucers, body tense.

Her wings became rigid and spread as far and hard as they could, even slapping Evan on his chest with enough force to hurt a little.

The poor mare took only a second to turn her body around and get up on bed, but she did not try to flee or anything like that.

It all happened so fast Evan could only rub his chest and look just as he was: Flabbergasted.

“O-kay… What was that about?” Evan half grumbled as he looked Cadence’s way. “I didn’t think I was doing so badly with the belly rub.” Admittedly, he was half serious. He thought this reaction would be far from likely. In fact he was pretty sure Cadence would’ve loved it! Apparently he was wrong.

Instead of answering, Cadence just offered a nervous chuckle. “I just… uh… Wanted to offer you something, yes! And sorry about hitting you!” Cadence’s voice was getting very close to turning into a shrill mess.

So Evan tried to act natural, patient and understanding, then try and calm her. “What would it be? Couldn’t you do that lying down?”

“NOPE!”

Cadence had a very strange smile, maybe a bit strained, if not deranged, as her magic all but flung Evan’s covers away, revealing his privates. Had Evan checked Cadence’s window, not that he would having such… ‘surprise’ forced on him, he would’ve seen that Cadence hada a very similar problem to his. She wasn’t being hurt because she was needy, but apparently, being the princess of love (amongst other things) made her a bit ‘crazy’ when she was far too needy for her tastes.

“Hey! What is the big idea!?” Evan DID know what Cadence was going to do, but he had not expected it to turn this way. The surprise, and a bit of the upset resulting from it, was genuine. “Why did you do that, Cadence?”

“Because, as the Princess of Love, I cannot allow this to remain in such horrid condition.” Cadence proclaimed loudly, to which Evan responded with a very genuinely confused face. “You know? Princess of Love? Alicorn? Like my aunt? She moves the Sun and… Wait.” It finally seemed to click in Cadence’s head. “You said no magic, right?” Evan gave a simple nod. “Who moves the sun in your world? Because there is a sun, right? Or are there more?”

“Earth, our world, has only one Sun. Some people call our system ‘Solar’, or just ‘Sol’, or other names, in its honor. It depends since people can’t seem to decide on anything. As for who? No one. The sun doesn’t move. It is a massive ball of burning fuel whose weight makes all planets in the Sol system revolve around the sun, not the other way around.” Evan explained both quickly and hotly, mostly because he was turning like a tomato with Cadence looking at his member while paying attention (or he thought she was at any rate) to his little tale. “Again, what has it to do with this?”

Cadence blinked, shook her head, and faced Evan again. “Well, I am an alicorn. See?” She pointed at her horn and wings. “All the bits! But I was born a pegasus.”

Evan made an ‘oh’ with his lips for a second. He had seen it through M.O.C, but he had to act stupid. Not that it was hard. This version of Equestria could have many a difference when it came to ascension. “What does that mean?”

“Alicorns have all the ‘base’ tribes’ attributes: Strength and resilience of an Earth pony. Agility and reflexes of a pegasus. Magic and control of the unicorn. Some, like my aunt, are born with a duty to the world, others, like me, are ascended when we have special connections to something or perform incredible acts, but history talks little about either of them. Alicorns are very rare in general.” Cadence explained with a little smile. “The important thing, at least for us right now, is that we get a lot of magic, and we can gain greater control, and a massive pool of it within our bodies, far easier than any other pony species. We may not have specialized functions or abilities like the sub tribes that came later on, but we are pretty powerful and have control over something special. That is why auntie, being that she is far older than me, is the one that can send you back home, because if there is anypony that can, and that has enough magic within, then she is it.”

That was all nice information, but as Evan was about to ask. “And that has to do with me being naked in front of you because…?”

“Easy!” Cadence said all too chipper. “I am going to make up for my mistake by making you BIG!”

Evan expected that. He still had to blink a couple of times to recuperate from just how happy and forward Cadence was being, though. He hadn’t thought she would be, well, like this. “Seriously?”

“Yep!” Cadence was way too serious. It was as if she had flipped a switch. “From your reaction before it was obvious my comment hurt you, so that must mean that size is quite… wanting.” Evan knew there wasn’t a way to say it that wouldn’t piss him off, no matter how little, but he was thankful for Cadence’s attempt. He still gave her a deadpan glare as she tried to hold a chuckle. “As I said: I am the Princess of Love. My job is to ensure everything is as perfect as possible when it comes to… relations. That also includes intimacy. So I will do my best to not only make up for what I said, but make you a male others will envy. How does that sound?”

Put that way Evan could hardly refuse. To be honest that was the only part of this that didn’t really make him feel like crap. “If you could… I… Well, I have to admit that I would be nothing other than extremely grateful.” And he was as honest as you can get. “But… if I were to go back, this being magic and all… would it hold together?”

Cadence let out a wondering humm, hoof on her chin for a second, before she just shrugged and smiled. “I don’t know if it will, but it won’t hurt to try, right? Besides…” She offered a salacious smile and a wink. “Even if it doesn’t, you can enjoy it here while aunty searches for a way to help you.”

Evan gulped. “Cadence…?”

The mare just snickered. “Just relax and let me do my thing, alright? I promise you’ll love it. I still have to make up for my mistake, don’t I?”

As Cadence’s horn lit up with magic Evan began to wonder if he had really done the right thing. His HP bar, already blinking like mad, had slowed down a bit as he began to feel something touching his shaft and nuts, but a mix of trepidation and doubt did get to Evan as he heard the voice of M.O.C reaching to him.

-Cadence BIOS update: Corruption Up.- It said in its monotone voice.

‘What do you mean ‘Corruption Up’?’ Evan asked as he felt a jolt go down his member. It wasn’t unpleasant so much as it startled him. He saw himself getting hard as M.O.C answered.

-Corruption: Various means of moral and/or physical degeneration to accept certain things more readily. Addendum: Certain corruptions are more physical (mutations) in nature and have a different category all unto themselves. Various examples of ‘mental’ corruption: Perversion, Aggression, Greed…- M.O.C listed a few more, but Evan was now focused on his slowly growing shaft, at least until M.O.C beeped and offered an update. -Cadence’s personality listed as… Caring, loving, sexual. Corruption detected: Perversion. Corruption caused by: Mental manipulation/coercion. Corruption at 12%. Approximate. Alicorn nature resists Corruption. Cadence’s alicorn nature welcomes this type of Corruption. In depth analysis required.-

Evan couldn’t contain a gasp and a few shivers as the effect of Cadence’s spell were becoming more prominent. His balls had grown quite considerably, and he almost had seven to eight inches worth of meat between his legs after M.O.C’s explanation. The mare worked hard, fast, and efficiently, and she also had a smile that Evan wasn’t sure if he liked it, or if he was terrified by it. Many fantasies that he had back home were crossing his mind, but now that they were about to come true one way or another, he was second guessing himself.

‘M.O.C.’ Evan tried to think clearly. It was hard, uncomfortable and, if he was honest with himself, also way too exciting to fully comprehend just how much he could’ve fucked up. ‘What… what other effects… does corruption have?’

-Corruption side effects: The one corrupting the target will be viewed in a better light/will be considered on friendlier terms than before/will be found more desirable by the subject. This may help the [PLAYER] to acquire [FOLLOWERS].- M.O.C let out a few short beeps, as if it was searching for something, or maybe ‘thinking’ on what else to say. -WARNING!: Corruption may also lead to small personality changes, oftentimes in private or when it may be undetected by those that would notice, but sometimes these may act up in public if the change is too prominent far too quickly (Read: Mind Damage). Danger: Corruption is not POWER dependant (Physical or mental changes aren’t fully dependant on the PLAYER’s actions and/or wishes), as such they may be noticed by other individuals. Remedy: PLAYER caused corruption will be considered ‘natural’, like other POWER based changes, within 24/72 hours. Beware of large Corruption effects within a short time frame. Massive spikes in corruption can break a psyche permanently.-

Any sane person in Evan’s position would have been paying attention to the whole explanation, and Evan was trying. Truly, he was. In fact he had heard, and comprehended, all of it... The only problem was this: Evan was also doing his best not to have an orgasm. It was quite hard to juggle both things.

Mostly because Cadence had just gone to town and she wasn’t stopping!

He had thought Cadence would get him up to ten inches, maybe eleven. I mean, this was not a world of anthro ponies, they were basically like in the show. You know, quadruped and all. They were largely tiny, what with Cadence being around half Evan’s height. So ten to, at best, twelve inches was, or so Evan thought, a very nice size. Right?

Oh-ho-ho-fuck no!

When Evan had asked M.O.C, Cadence had already made him roughly around nine inches in length, with a decent girth and quite hefty balls. But she kept going after he hit ten. Evan had doubled in size in what one could consider the blink of an eye, yet the mare kept making him longer, wider. He was by now considered hung, but around the time M.O.C finished its report Evan would’ve been considered monstruous with roughly a foot long schlong. Thirty centimeters of cock meat was not small in ANY country back home, and he was sure it was decent for stallions in traditional Equestria.

Problem is, Cadence just licked her lips, giggled to herself, ensured his nuts were proportional and kept going… and going… and going. Now it took her some time once she reached that size, true, but it also felt like Evan was in the most pleasurable vice grip ever conceived. He could swear Cadence wanted to make him cum, but at the same time she took her time to make it slow, almost even painful!

“Aww… I think I can’t make it bigger…” When Cadence spoke those words Evan found himself shivering and in a cold sweat. He was already one feet and two, no, three inches long by his estimations. She had basically tripled his size! How big did the mare want him to be!? “But I think it is so very nice now…” Judging by her hungry and lusty tone, BIGGER was just the right answer. “And the tip is so strange… It looks like a mushroom. I wonder how it would feel…”

“Holy hell, Cadence.” Evan panted, almost out of breath. He felt sweaty, tired and horny. His cock was throbbing, slapping against his belly and chest area, and he didn’t know how to make that monster go down. Was it really that big now? Was it really HIS? He was still sitting on the bed, but the newfound weight made him feel like he should be laying down. “W-what… were you trying… to do? Make me… make me go… crazy?”

“Crazy?” Cadence let out another snickering chuckle as she got on her hooves and approached Evan. “If I wanted you crazy… I would do this.”

And, without even pausing for breath, that was it. Cadence all but engulfed Evan’s cockhead.

It was like opening a valve. Evan was no virgin, but his size had led to… complications when it came to getting someone to have fun. Now it would too, but for a completely different reason. Or it would if he wasn’t being sucked off by a pretty pink pony princess that also seemed to be a fucking whore! Wait! Evan didn’t know where that thought came from! Nor where he was, in a sense. As soon as Cadence took him in her mouth he just let it loose.

The pleasure was stupidly powerful, enough for Evan, already on the brink after he was toyed with and changed, to just orgasm right then and there. It didn’t stop Cadence though, in fact it was the inverse. As soon as she felt cum gushing into her muzzle she moaned, licked the cockhead whole, bobbed her head, making Evan’s orgasm grow even more fierce than the large nuts and shaft already made it, then pushed down.

But as much as Cadence looked to be enjoying herself, and the loud moans that came from her as she engulfed more and more of Evan’s cock seemed to point at her very real pleasure, that wasn’t enough for her. No, for her it would be enough to take ALL he could offer, and a good way to ensure his orgasm would last was to use her magic and her wings. How she would do it was readily made clear to him when Cadence’s magic went to rub his already aching balls while her feathers, as if they were her wings’ fingers, caressed his enlarged member like a perfectly expert hand.

Evan was doing his best to remain conscious through all of this. His whole body was spasming as the waves of pleasure ran their course, making him grunt and groan while his hands nearly tore away at the mattress under him. He had never had such a long orgasm, but then again never had an orgasm been linked to him living longer and mixed with stupidly powerful magic. The mix of danger and new experiences sure as hell had the biggest kick to it that he had ever experienced.

Long, pleasurable, and maybe even painful, yes, but everything had to come to an end. Maybe after minutes of gushing thick, creamy and gooey goodness that Cadence drank like so much water, but it ended. Or at least it slowly pettered down, and Evan finally managed to be conscious enough of what happened around him to hear Cadence gulping down greedily as the last huge spurts came out.

Panting, tired, near collapse, but very much alive, Evan could see how the red bar on the corner of his vision had disappeared. A quick look told him that he was still ‘Sex Starved’, since he hadn’t properly done it, but the debuff had largely gone away.

It was likely that he wouldn’t have to suffer that thing for too long though. Cadence, with a loud *POP*, let go of his cock, making him grunt again before letting out a last spurt of cum that the mare caught in midair like a hungry bitch in heat. Her hair looked disheveled, and even the perfect coat all ponies had appeared to be slightly out of it while her body glistened slightly, much like his. She was covered in sweat, and the smell of sex, and need, was strong in the air already.

“Mmhmm… I don’t know why, but that was the tastiest load I ever had.” Cadence giggled before she let out a little burp. “Excuse me.” She blushed.

That made her BLUSH. All the while holding a hoof to her lips.

Evan couldn’t even.

“E-excused.” Evan couldn’t really give a shit to be honest, but the scene was just stupid… Not like this whole debacle was anything but. “F-fuck… Cadence… I never thought… This could happen to me.” And that was the honest truth.

Cadence let out a very genuine laugh as she tried to sit down. Tried being the keyword. Her belly was… well, it wasn’t massive, but it made Evan notice that she looked grabid if nothing else. It also made him think back to the truly massive load he had been firing. There was just NO WAY that he had so much cum in his balls. True, they were big now, but even then it was just…

Again, he was forced to suppress a groan as he chalked it to ‘magic’ and also ‘bullshit’.

“I can almost say the same.” Cadence spoke with a pep in her voice that hadn’t been present before. “I mean, whenever I have used my magic on anypony they usually tend to last bellow the average for most of us, if not just cum immediately.”

Curiosity hit Evan. “And how long is that?”

“For stallions?” Cadence looked at the ceiling as if in deep thought. “Between fifteen seconds to a minute? Maybe a minute and a half? They usually just go right when I do something special on them. For mares? Two minutes to three, maybe five. They sometimes last a few seconds when I play with them.”

Evan nodded. So ‘quickfire stallions’ are a thing in this version of Equestria, eh? “Well… Human males usually last from five minutes onwards, usually.” Cadence’s eyes widened. “The more experience, the longer they go. I heard of some guys that may even go for half an hour, or even hours.” Evan chuckled at that, probably being an exaggeration and all. Cadence, however, was wagging her tail like a dog. “Don’t get ideas. I didn’t have that much ‘experience’ myself. I could last maybe… I dunno, ten to fifteen minutes?”

For Cadence that seemed to be golden. In fact Evan could see a large wet spot right under her. “Ten minutes, for the first one. After what I gave you and your orgasm? I expect you to last a LOT longer than that, mister.”

Evan recoiled as Cadence leaned forward. “W-wait! That was the most intense orgasm in my life! Don’t I have at least some recovery time before we go again?”

“Nope.” Cadence answered huskily, her smile and gaze predatory. “My husband to be may be the stallion I love above all else, but he is so bland in terms of sex. Good, very good, but boring. He isn’t very imaginative and doesn’t last that long despite how stupidly easy he makes me cum, but he doesn’t allow me to make things more ‘interesting’, like you just did.” The purr in her voice only grew as she approached the still hard shaft Evan was sporting. Whether out of need, fear, or hope, that he did not know for sure. “And I promised to make up for my how inconsiderate I had been, hadn’t I?”

It was at that moment that Evan realized it: He had fucked up.

He was quite sure that this couldn’t be hidden. Hell, he was surprised no one had heard their grunts and moans. For all he knew they had tried to rein it in and succeeded, but it could also be that a guard, if he had guards in front of his room that is, had gone to inform Celestia.

Whatever it was, that would matter little if Cadence got the nasty on for real. With how she had acted before? Fuck, Evan was sure that either her screams, or HIS, would shake the castle down to the core.

That, or with how tired he felt after the super orgasm from before, he would croak.

“Wait, wait!” Evan all but pleaded, though his cock betrayed him readily. “You have a husband?”

“To be.” Cadence reminded him. “And he knows what being the Princess of Love entails… So as long as I tell him, he will understand.”

Evan wasn’t so sure about that. He also didn’t have anything else that came to mind before Cadence was basically on top of him.

*Knock, knock, KNOCK.*

The knocks were both timely and terrifying. The first two startled them both, the third one echoed through the castle, or Evan could swear it did with how loud and deep it was. Whatever the case, he could see Cadence trembling again, and this time it wasn’t from anticipation.

“Cadence? Are you there?” The voice of Celestia came through the door and made Evan’s blood run cold. “Why was there a soundproof spell in here? Why did you lock the door?”

Evan wisphered as quickly and as silently as he could. “You soundproof the room? And locked it in!? WHEN!?”

“After I came back from my little trip to la la land.” Cadence answered just as quickly and discreetly. “I knew what could help you after my little, eh, ‘mistake, as well as what, well… what I wanted, alright?”

The young man groaned. “Fine… And you won’t hear me complaining. But what about your aunt? Because it is her out there, right?”

Cadence bit her lip and jumped down the bed. “Yes, yes it is her… Just… Give me a minute or two, alright? I know how to handle her. Just play along when we come in.”

It took a moment, but Cadence used her magic, opened the window in the room and, from what Evan could tell, ‘freshened up’ them both and the bed. It still looked undone, but more like used after slept, not as part of a quick fuck. That, and Cadence’s belly didn’t look massive anymore.

When Cadence opened the door Evan could feel time slow down. A few words were exchange. Cadence shot him a look, then she exited.

Evan managed to breath again.

Soon he found himself lying on the bed again. Now he truly felt tired, and scared, more so than before. He was once more on the edge, and this time it wasn’t as if he had a choice between jumping or taking a step back and doing what was needed. This time he very likely had a white hoof, clad in a golden shoe, about to push him over.

It was not a pleasant feeling.

So why not distract himself? He had, after all, done the deed, right?

Right?

He pulled the holographic screen once more. His eyes bulged as he saw something.

2450 available POWER.

Just… how?!

-Partial copulation achieved: Foreplay. Half of the total POWER absorption done. Complete copulation for the full amount.- M.O.C echoed within Evan’s mind.

‘I get so much out of one blowjob with Cadence?’ Evan was, to put it bluntly, amazed. ‘It is so much!’

-Incorrect.- M.O.C chimed in. -A thousand POWER units is a large prize for a normal pony. A thousand POWER units is nothing for an Alicorn statistically. Cadence has low magic wastage. A rare trait that makes spells with permanent mana burn drain a fifth of the usual mana, or POWER from a [PLAYER]. The gains from a pony witch such trait will be greatly lowered compared to what they should be.-

Evan frowned. ‘How much POWER should’ve been mine, then?’

-Scanners show a 10K increase with foreplay. 20K in full copulation. At least 1K during subsequent sessions the same day, and 2K once every new day. Total acquisition due to her trait: 20%. Exact percentage when compared to mana burned permanently. This trait is irreversible-

Evan couldn’t right believe just how much it would mean in, well, any other setting, if this world was a bit different or, really, if he had just a smidge more luck. He began with a thousand, and if he did the deed with Cadence, he’d end with five thousand total. As it was now, he had three. Yet, had he been so lucky to end in the (more or less) perfect situation he could end with twenty one thousand POWER units.

That would’ve made this SO easy!

Too easy… At least for the beginning. He was sure that was likely the only reason.

This was still a ‘game’ so to speak, and he was here to do a job. He was the main character of her own story, but that didn’t mean he was on Easy Mode, so to speak.

Still, three thousand total POWER for him to use. What do?

Evan hummed, then it came like a ton of bricks. ‘Buy: Morphing Touch.’

But… why?

The desire, the order, came easily. Why did he pick that up?

-Answer: [PLAYER] particular fetishes.-

Evan didn’t bother holding a groan. ‘Are you going to chime in whenever is appropriate for you?’

-Affirmative.- Somehow the monotone robotic voice sounded smug to Evan. -Certain information and lore may be important/crucial to [MAIN OBJECTIVE]’s success.-

‘And how is mentioning supposed fetishes that I have any help at all?’ Evan said with no little sass.

-Acceptance. All [PLAYERS] in situation must understand it is unavoidable. It, however, came to be because of the [PLAYERS]’s desires.- M.O.C intoned solemnly. And before Evan could counter it decided to continue. -All subjects identified as [PLAYERS] have repressed urges and desires. That, and inherent adaptability, are what grants a [PLAYER] a chance by the makers of [Lords of the Land]. Desires for a huge family, pleasure, power and what is considered wrong in their world of origin, but not here. If they aren’t able to reproduce quickly, that is solved. Males become more fertile, more promiscuous, needy, charismatic and famous. Females grow male organs, focus more on reproduction, desire even more companionship, quickly acquiring what they could only dream of in their previous life.-

M.O.C stopped for a second while Evan digested what had been said. There was little way to say M.O.C was wrong without calling the machine a liar, and Evan knew it was, at the very least, right in a few accounts. Evan was, after all, a pervert, but those perversions were things he would’ve never acted upon back home, nor could he have done it anyway.

So how much could anyone in this situation fault the ones putting them here, and how much should they fault themselves?

-Current [PLAYER] has fantasies and desires he would never attempt back home. Here they can be fulfilled. Some examples: Incest, adultery, breeding, feminized males, large/hyper gonads, xenophilia… Some fetishes are more prominent than others. Exposure to situations in which they can be fulfilled will strengthen the desire…- Again the machine stopped, though Evan could swear it was laughing somehow. Anyone living and with a sense of humor would likely find it funny anyway. Evan would still call them an asshole, but he had to be honest here. -Full compliance is expected within the week. A dream life, to organic lifeforms, even one perverted and ‘wrong’, as generic human morals put it, is far too tempting once it is proven to be within grasp.-

Evan didn’t know if M.O.C expected an answer. Did it expect things? For all he knew, and since M.O.C didn’t answer, it just reacted to what it thought needed a reaction; information here and there, a hint in a timely manner, or an acceleration of something in particular.

Besides, what could he say? It was hard to deny what the fucking machine just unloaded on him. That, and it was largely right.

Didn’t make him feel less like he was going to be a little shit… yet. But, once more, he had really no options to feel less crummy, other than foregoing all he had learned and accepted, of course. Problem was that he had to do it pretty quickly or this was going to go to hell in a handbasket. But he would do it, of course he would… It was just hard to man up and do it like that, you know?

The moment the door opened and a white muzzle came in Evan felt just about ready to do whatever it took to not have an incensed Celestia dooming him to hell. He also noticed, way too late to do anything, that he had lied down without covering his maleness.

Hey, at least he wasn’t hard anymore.

Celestia had taken only two steps inside before stopping like a deer in headlights. She blinked, maybe blushed a little, much to Evan’s horror, then spoke. “I see what you meant, Cadence.”

“Right?” Evan slowly covered up, face burning, as Cadence trotted behind her aunt. “I don’t know how it happened either! But it was part of our conversation. You know, I had to make it a bit private. Touchy stuff.”

Evan cleared his throat, now ‘mostly’ decent. “Uh… what did I miss?”

“I just told my aunt about the… reaction you had to my scanning spell.” Cadence pointed out with a quick wink from her spot slightly behind Celestia. Clever bitch. “And how embarrassing it was, plus some of the things we discussed. I just forgot about the spells I used on the door, with what happened and all.”

“I didn’t even know you had used magic on the door.” Evan groused in a way that was there just purely for the act of it, though the fact that Cadence had done so without him noticing meant that it was far harder to see magic at work in this version of Equestria. A misstep could really screw him over. “Though… I suppose thanks are in order. I doubt it would’ve been pretty for either of us if anyone saw me flailing around while this.” He pointed at his crotch. “Happened.”

Clearing her throat, Celestia reentered the conversation. “Quite.” And while she didn’t look any different than in the cartoon, it was clear to Evan that her face was not as gentle as the one she usually offered her little ponies. In fact her face looked quite neutral, maybe even… angry? “Though it begs the question as to why you didn’t have any reaction when we carried you here with a levitation spell.”

‘Shit!’ Evan all but cursed in his mind while Cadence winced.

-Warning: Celestia’s suspicion grew by 5 points.-

‘FUCK YOU! SERIOUSLY!’ Evan took a deep breath to calm down. “I… don’t know?” Maybe a good bluff could go a long way. “Hell, when I first looked outside today and saw this, I thought I was dreaming! It looks to me like I am in a fantasy book, or a game. Then in came your niece, I changed, and we had a conversation when I heard something as ridiculous, but apparently true, as you controlling the sun of this solar system.”

-Warning: Celestia’s trust grew by 2 points. Celestia’s suspicion diminished by 1. Celestia’s dislike grew by 3 points.-

‘Fucking why!?’

“What is so ridiculous about my duty?” Celestia’s tone grew a little colder there.

‘Ah, that is why.’ Evan at least had the decency to look sheepish. “Okay, sorry about that, but you have to understand that, from my perspective, one that comes from a place where the sun’s gravity moves everything around it, not a person, this sounds stupidly farfetched.” He added under his breath. “Almost the same as being roped into this world after buying a fucking collector's item.”

-Warning: Celestia’s dislike decreased by 3. Celestia’s suspicion increased by 4.-

“Item?” Celestia’s ears had perked as much as her curiosity. “You bought what brought you here?”

Evan cringed as Cadence too looked his way with more than just curiosity. So let’s spin a mix of truth and lies and pray for the sky and the stars. “It was a golden helmet. An ornamental piece that would otherwise be incredibly expensive, but instead it was being given away for a stupidly cheap price, you know? Supposedly a replica of armor used for ceremonial purposes in ancient times, seeing as gold is one of the crappiest metals to make armor out of. I thought it was a scam, to be honest, I just paid the very, VERY low price because it made me laugh and thought it was worth giving a ‘donation’ per se. Never thought I would really get something made out of gold delivered home.”

-Warning: Celestia’s suspicion decreased by 3.-

‘Well, at least I came out ahead-ish? Please no more mood swings.’

“Why wouldn’t you want gold for armor?” Cadence pointedly asked. “It is very easy to enchant, and light!”

Evan decided to give two very simple and very blunt answers. “Gold is a flimsy as fuck and heavy as hell as far as materials go. Steel cuts through it like butter. Maybe here it is different, but back home using gold for armor in the medieval ages was just for show if even copper, or bronze, is far more common, durable, easy to repair and, overall, cost effective.” That apparently shut Cadence up as she looked his way with a small degree of confusion. “Again: No magic. Besides, modern equipment supplanted swords, shields and metal armor a long time ago.”

Celestia seemed interested in this. “And what you use now would be…?”

“Yeah, no.” Evan decided to cut that line of thought right there. “If you have to ask, you don’t know, and I don’t want to bring the ideas forth either. Besides, I think we already have a big enough problem without me introducing industrial revolution to your ponies.”

-Warning: Celestia’s suspicion decreases by 1. Celestia’s dislike decreases by 1. Celestia’s trust grows by 2.-

‘Seriously! That. Is. Enough! Tell me again if some milestone is hit, like every 5 or 10 points!’

-Acknowledged.-

“I am thankful for your discretion.” Celestia’s voice brought Evan’s attention back to the conversation. “Though this still begs the question as to how you got here and how we can send you back.”

Evan couldn’t help but shrug. “Life back home wasn’t all that interesting, to be honest.”

Celestia blinked at that. “Pardon?”

Well, shit, he had fucked up, hadn’t he? “Work in, day in, day out, worry about money, have the daily grinder piled on you, politics, very little time to be with friends and… uh… ‘personal problems’ that I am pretty sure you both saw.” Cadence was quick to nod, Celestia less so. “Right now it may be the shock or whatever, I am sure I’ll start missing my family soon at the very least, but I am also in a land with magic and different species, you know? For now, as bad as it may sound, I wouldn’t mind taking this as some kind of vacation time. At least until you find a way to send me back. Mostly because I feel that freaking out would do me little to no good.”

It was more or less true. Evan would’ve been in a hurry to go back if he could, but he couldn’t. And M.O.C had been spot on, in a sense: If he had to be somewhere else, forcefully, the idea of a world where he could let loose was horribly tempting. A gilded cage was still a cage, but in this one he had some kind of ‘freedom’, whether he liked it or not. It could for sure be far worse than this.

Celestia let out a little humm. “I suppose I see your point, but, and I hope you don’t mind me saying this, I don’t trust you.”

This seemed to surprise Cadence. “Auntie?”

“Cadence, a cursed magical item can do a lot to a pony, or any other creature. I doubt it is any different with him.” Celestia went from looking at her niece to fixating her eyes on Evan. “You may very well know what I am talking about, but decided to hide it, or you may not. I must be careful with whom I trust.”

‘Well…’ Evan thought with an internal chuckle. ‘At least this Celestia HAS some sense to her.’ And with a nod he said as much. “I understand perfectly. I doubt people in my world would have reacted differently… In fact a few countries would’ve been far more… careful, than just throw whoever appeared in their midst inside a quite decent room.”

Celestia didn’t seem completely happy with that, but she accepted Evan’s sincerity. “I will still assign one of my guards to you, most likely tomorrow, though you can come to me today if you’d prefer to check whoever I find more suitable.” She gave Cadence a sidelong glance before mostly facing her. “Otherwise I suppose it wouldn’t hurt to have Cadence looking after you for today. She has to go as a diplomatic envoy soon, minor princess duties to practice for when her role takes most of her time, but she’ll be in and out from time to time. Having a friend here already should be good for you, and iron out a few of Cadence’s own kinks when it comes to diplomacy along the way.”

Cadence’s pink fur turned strawberry colored. “Auntie!”

“Just calling it what it is.” Celestia snickered, apparently in a better mood. “You can show him around, maybe even meet some of the delegations from Zebrica, or the envoys from within our country that are still around with their reports or waiting for their business to finish before departing. Maybe take him to meet your stallion? I am not opposed to give him some freedom, of course.” For a second Celestia sent Evan a look that could kill. “Given, of course, that he grants me no reason whatsoever to be far more strict.”

Evan lifted a hand and the other went to his chest. “I swear that if I do anything, it will be to try and help your little ponies.” Then looked down. “So long as I get some pants or whatever so I don’t go around naked. I did come here with clothes, didn’t I?”

Celestia blinked, then made a little surprised face. “So that was the dust around you. We thought it was most of your coat that got burned with that strange teleport. Cursed items moving creatures around tend to not… work fully as intended.”

“Well, partly?” Evan frowned. “I mean, humans don’t have coats. We do have some hair around our bodies, and crotch, but mostly on the head. From what I saw all of my hair, other than my head, is gone, so that probably got incinerated, yes.”

The alabaster alicorn gave a quick nod and a gentle, and apparently sincere, smile. “Thanks for the information. The more I know, the faster I can do this, barring any problems. Every little detail will help, no matter how small. But for the time being I will get one of my seamstresses and help her so we can make something for you with the measurements we took in a few minutes.” She appeared to bit her lip for a second. “It may be a bit snug down there, but I’ll help enchant it so as to make it… spacious. I hope you don’t mind.”

“Hey, whatever works.” Evan shrugged once more. “Right now this is far more than I ever expected if something as crazy as this happened to me... or anyone else, for that matter.”

Celestia nodded and turned around. “Then, if you’ll excuse me. I will have this done in a minute or two, then I will go get the list of guards I was reviewing for the job.” She did give Cadence a pointed look that the pink mare returned before she opened the door though. “Take care, and see you soon.” Then she left.

And Evan finally breathed in relief the moment the door closed behind her.

“Holy. FUCK. That was intense.” He muttered in a half dead voice as he fell on the bed once more. “I thought she was going to magic me to death or something.”

Cadence did her best not to laugh as she approached his bed. “Well, auntie can be very intense when she wants. She tries to be nice, but not everyone has good intentions, not even ponies. Though it was surprising just how mistrustful she was of you, I’ll admit.” She sat in front of him with a light smile, though it was obvious she wanted more than that. “So… what do you want to do? It is still early, so we could go somewhere, as auntie said.”

Evan lifted himself ever so slightly to look at Cadence. “What do you mean?”

“Like I said: Auntie said so.” The mare let out a little shrug. “Want to wait until you have your clothes and ask her about what guard will be with you? She’ll tell you tomorrow anyway, but I wouldn’t fault you if you are nervous and prefer something else. We could also go and I could show you the castle grounds, the gardens, dining room. I am pretty sure we could find ponies from one of the cities around Equestria, a Zebra, or somepony else that may want to chat with you… Or we could go to the barracks and see my hubby to be, if you want to meet Shining.” That salacious smirk on Cadence was there once more. Only this time it looked like she had something already planned. “We could even have more fun that way. I do want to finish what we started, and more.”

Evan shuddered, his cock again stirring under the bed covers. But the question was a good one. What to do?
