More Erotic than Exotic to be honest...
Daring Do leaned back in her seat, her eyes glazed over as she watched the fish swim by her window. She was currently in a small private sub. Something she had managed to get thanks to her book sales. They were the main funds of a lot of her expeditions. This newest one had her going after a temple underneath the ocean, a good several miles off the coast. It was long thought to have been lost but recently, she had managed to stumble across a map leading her there.
An orange maned with yellow streaks pony sat up from her seat and turned slightly back to Daring. "Hey, I think this is it. What do you think?"
Daring leaned forward and looked past the pony at the controls. A large looking building came into view. It looked like a big rectangle with waves carved all around it. At its base was a large opening, just big enough for her mini sub. Daring smiled. "Good work Spitfire, see if you can squeeze this thing on in."
The wonderbolt nodded, furrowed her brow and began to ease the mini sub closer. Daring let out a content sigh. She was glad to have brought the old friend along. Her own piloting skills left a lot to be desired. They had traveled together in the past, back then it was due to needing an escort for one reason or another. But after awhile, the two of them had become close.
Even making time to visit for a drink and passing around stories. Daring could see no better partner on this expedition.
Daring adjusted her buttons up shirt and dusted of her shorts. She had on her classic ensemble though she had decided to leave her favorite hat with a few good small holes in it. Daring had a feeling there might be some swimming involved. Better to be safe than sorry. That hat had become her good luck charm after all. She glanced over at her friend.
Spitfire had chosen her wonderbolt jumpsuit. Daring used to question her on it but the yellow Pegasus would always shrug it off, saying that its the most comfortable thing she owns and can't see herself going on adventures with anything else. Daring couldn't really object though, the way it clung to her body, showing off her curves and wonderful assets. And those perky B cup breasts. Her athletic body just screamed sexy... Daring realized she was staring and looked away.
"Right, need to stay focused."
The sub was now making its way in. Spitfire gritted her teeth as she did her best not to scrap the sides. Her wings, tucked back tightly against her back, were starting to flutter slightly. Daring could tell that Spitfire was a bit nervous. One wrong move and they could become stuck. Not exactly a good place to have to get out and push.
Daring put a hand on Spitfire's shoulder. She didn't say a word though, just hoped that Spitfire would relax a little bit. This seemed to work as the Pegasus leaned forward a bit, her wings no longer twitching. Soon they came to a wall with only up as an option. So the sub rose and soon, it broke from the water. Spitfire let out the breath she had been holding. "Ah, seems we have found an antechamber."
Daring stood up, opened the hatch above them, and stuck her head out. They were in a large room. Small green glowing rocks lit up just enough to see the outlines of the chamber. Stairs could be seen heading off down a dimly lit hallway. Daring took out her flashlight and scanned the area. It seemed that they were alone.
"Well this is a nice surprise. Air, no bad guys in waiting, just a quiet empty temple. Must be my birthday or something."
Daring stood on the sub and was about to step off when she lost her footing, she tried to unfurl her wings to keep her balance but she couldn't catch herself in time. She soon tumbled into the water in front of her.
Ker-spoosh!
The splash echoed through out the room. Daring's head quickly broke out of the water's surface, drops of water falling from her mane. Spitfire climbed out and glided to the edge of the pool. She then turned and held out her hand for Daring.
Daring groaned as he took Spitfire's hand. The yellow pegasus let out a small chuckle. "That was the universe reminding you that its never going to be that easy."
Daring rolled her eyes as she got herself onto the brown stonework. She began to take off her boots, now completely soaked. "The universe owes me a favor at this point. It could at least make sure I don't have to explore with wet socks."
Daring quickly removed her soaking wet socks and chucked them across the room. "Guess I am exploring this thing barefoot." Daring realized she also dropped her flashlight. "I hope the lighting around here is decent too. Can't believe I forgot to bring a spare."
Spitfire barely caught a word of that as she did her best not to stare. The water had caused the clothes Daring was wearing to cling tightly to her body. Showing that she wasn't wearing a bra as her nipples were clearly seen through the fabric.
Daring shook some of the water from her mane as well as her body. She then gestured ahead. "Shall we?"
Spitfire nodded and did her best to look straight ahead, Daring was a very big distraction at the current moment. But soon they began to climb the stone steps. They walked down a long hallway, turned and were greeted by the sight of some sort of mural depicting ponies and giant bells. Daring raised an eyebrow. "Must be how they got down here, ancient diving bells..." Daring turned and saw a door leading to another room to her left. She was about to continue walking when Spitfire stopped her.
"Hey, whats up with that bit off to the far right?"
Daring turned and saw two ponies holding some sort of bottle with waves crashing around them. Daring shrugged. "The ponies here worshiped the sea. If I had to guess, looks like some sort of ritual."
Spitfire continued to examine the mural while Daring began to work her way forward.
Daring pointed to a corridor nearby. "Looks like that is our way to go."
Spitfire turned and saw a large doorway with some strange carvings covering it. "Uh, what's up with all the dragons and waves covering the door?"
Daring put a hand on the sides of the door. She seemed to be in deep thought for a moment before turning to Spitfire. "Judging from the drawings, this looks to be some sort of trial. And at the end, if I had to guess, is whatever treasure this place houses."
Spitfire nodded and began to casually walk in. "Doubt its going to be anything too hard."
Daring shrugged her shoulders and followed. Her eyes traveled downwards, noticing Spitfire's ass seemed to bounce slightly when she walked. She seemed to have a confident strut to her. It was one of the many things she loved about the wonderbolt. Just her ability to walk into any situation without a shred of cowardice.
However, there is a downside to this as Daring watched Spitfire continue down the hallway. There were noticeably large squares all across the floor. Each with their own symbol though some did seem to repeat in some areas. Also there seemed to be holes along the sides of the walls.
Daring realized what this was just as Spitfire touched the square in front of her. Daring reached out and grabbed Spitfire by the back of her neck. Her fingers found the opening neck portion of her jumpsuit. She pulled just in time to see a large sharp wooden object come shooting out from the wall. It barely missed Spitfire who gagged as Daring yanked her back as hard as she could. The arrow managed to graze the front of her suit, just above her breasts.
Spitfire stumbled back but managed to stay standing. She had a hand over the large gash, thankful to find that it had only ripped the suit but not the flesh.
"Oh... Wow... Thanks for the save there Daring."
Daring let out a long sigh. "Glad I noticed in time. We need to be careful now. This is where the hard part sets in. From what I gathered at the entry way, there are two trials we need to pass. Though I am not sure about the latter as the second one seemed more important towards their ritual. But in any case, lucky for us this first one is easy. It seems that none of the Ocean Worshipers were Pegasi."
Daring extended her wings and began to hover in place. "I am sure we could stand here for hours trying to figure out what each symbol means but, after all these years of travel, I've found its better to work smarter, not harder."
Spitfire jumped and began to glide over the tiles of the hallway. "Way ahead of ya. I mean, if this jumpsuit gets any more holes..."
Daring was about to interject with a joke with something glinting in the dim light caught her eye. She quickly flew over to it and saw it was a mirror reflecting light off the floor. When Daring put her hand over the light, a wooden arrow suddenly erupted from the wall, just barely missing her head by inches.
"Scratch that Spitfire, they planned for Pegasi!"
Spitfire turned just in time to block another mirror with her wing. The arrow that shot past nicked her arm. "AH!"
"Just go, fast as you can." Daring called as she sprinted on through. Arrows rained behind her as more and more mirrors were revealed than blocked by parts of her body.
Both pegasi flew hard and fast. Spitfire was the faster of the two but Daring was still able to keep up somewhat well. All that adventuring seemed to pay off when it came to stamina. Soon, the end was in sight. Spitfire crashed against the blank floor, Daring crashing on top of her, both out of breath.
Daring felt a blush enter her face as she was now near inches from Spitfire. The fact that the two of them were breathing heavily didn't help. Daring quickly rolled off then stood up. She began to examine her body and while she had managed to keep from getting anything to serious, her wardrobe did suffer a horrible fate.
Her buttoned up shirt was now open, having lost a good chunk of its front. Her right sleeve was gone and her right shoulder was now bare. Her shorts had several holes in them. One side it particular barely hanging on, with only a few threads on the left side and her belt being left to hold anything up. The decision to go commando today was not a good one as she was mostly exposed right now. Only a little bit of fabric now covering her breasts and all it took was a the right angle and somepony would be able to see her unmentionables.
Spitfire was no better. Her suit was covered is cuts and openings. She was missing her entire right leg portion. Her sleeves were mostly ribbons of fabric. Her right breast was there for all to see. Her back was mostly bare with a few small scratches showing. She was also now somehow missing her shoes on top of everything else.
Daring had to do her best not to stare. Despite her disheveled state, she looked hot as heck right now.
Spitfire got up and glanced down at herself then back at Daring. "Well, at least we won't have to worry about getting hot down here."
This did manage to get Daring to chuckle a bit. Doing her best to tear her eyes away, though it was a decent challenge considering the circumstances. She turned and saw a small entryway leading into a large room. "Let's keep going, it will do us no good to try and get back at this point. Besides, we are the only ones that are going to be seeing each other anyway." Daring didn't bother to turn around to say this. She knew that if she did, she wouldn't be able to hide just how much Spitfire was turning her on right now.
Spitfire let out a small whistle. "You know, even if we don't find anything. One thing I can say at the very least, the view was freaking worth it."
Daring Do frowned and glanced back at Spitfire. She was about to ask what she meant by that when she caught the look of lust in Spitfire's eyes as she eyed Daring up and down. Daring turned back around, her face hotter than it had ever been before. "Let's uh... Lets just keep moving."
Daring practically jogged into the next room. She stopped about mid way into the room and stared. There were a few steps leading to what appeared to be two vials of some strange liquid. There was a mural on the back that showed two ponies drinking from a cup and waves surrounding them. Was this the final test?
Spitfire walked past Daring and began to examine the vials. "Hmm, so do they expect us to drink this in order to move on or something?"
Daring glanced to her left and sure enough there was a large door closed up tightly. There was barely a crease in it. How would it even open? She took a step forward. No knobs or handles...There must be some sort of contraption involved. Daring was about to examine the door closer when she heard two words that always made her heart stop. "Uh, oh."
Daring looked back and saw that Spitfire had picked up both vials. The stone work that was holding them had just disappeared, having sank into the floor. The entry way the came into suddenly closed, a large stone had just dropped down, sealing them it.
Daring took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Its OK, we are only sealed in. If we take our time, we should be able to figure out this trial and get out of here."
Spitfire raised up the vials in her hand. "Uh, isn't it obvious? Drink these and then we get out."
Daring turned and locked eyes with Spitfire. "Or it poisons us and the real puzzle is the find the switch somewhere in this room."
Even as the words left Daring's mouth however, she did realize that this might be a farce. The room was bare. Polished floor, ceiling and walls. Not a crack in sight. The only things there were the glowing rocks sitting on small shelf like structures on the walls. And of course the painting. Actually, there did appear to be holes in the ceiling though. Before Daring could examine them, the reason for the holes became very clear as water began to drop from them.
The water splashed across the floor and it was quickly becoming very apparent that this room was about to be become the worlds largest indoor swimming pool. Daring glanced back at the door. Upon a better look, she did see some sort of time keeping device. She hadn't noticed it before because it wasn't moving but it was now.
Daring squinted. It was hard to read the language but it looked like there were 12 symbols on it. It was moving slowly and Daring could tell it was moving slow enough that those weren't seconds. Most likely minutes. What's worse is that there appeared to be one right next to it. It wasn't moving yet. So maybe the door would open in 24 minutes? But the room would be well filled up before that. It hadn't been a full minute yet and already the water was up to her knees.
Spitfire waded through the water towards Daring. "Uh, any good news, now is the time to share it!"
Daring glanced back at the door and then Spitfire. "Well the good news is that we should be out of here in 24 minutes... The bad news is that we may not live long enough to see it."
Spitfire shoved one of the vials in Daring's chest. "Ugh, I just wanted the good news!" Spitfire glanced quickly at the door than back at Daring. "Listen, if this is it. Mind as well take these and see what happens."
Daring winced but realized that she had a point. Both ponies uncorked the strange vials and downed their contents at the same time. Daring nearly gagged. It tasted like old unfiltered water that had a fish swimming it for a few years. The water was up to her stomach now. They still had a little bit of time as the water would rise them up before the ceiling would stop them. Daring estimated they had a few minutes tops though.
Both ponies waited for something to happen. But nothing seemed to have happened to them. The doors didn't open and neither pony seemed to have physically changed in any way.
"Well, guess that was a downer, huh?" Daring said as she laughed nervously.
Spitfire didn't say anything at first but soon grabbed Daring and pulled her close. Daring felt her cheeks go red as her melons squished tightly against Spitfire's firm and perky perky breasts. Spitfire's face was just inches from Daring Do.   
"Listen, if this is it. I want to get something off my chest."
Spitfire shoved her face forward and locked lips with Daring who had to struggle to accept the kiss. Daring would be lying if she said she wasn't soon melting into Spitfire's lips though. The water was slowly lifting them off the ground now but neither pony seemed to care at this point.
Spitfire moved away from Daring's face slightly but still kept her head close. "I have always been in to you. Never really knew how to go about it though. But if this it..."
Daring smiled. "Hey, if this is it. Lets make these final moments count. Also... Adventuring get's lonely sometimes. I have been finding myself wanting company for some time now and if there is any pony I trust more, its you. So if this is the end of my adventure, I would love to go out with you with a bang."
Spitfire grinned. "Good, cause it would be a shame to not ravage that wonderful body I've been eyeing for a long time now."
Spitfire began to love bite Daring's open shoulder as she began to grip and squeeze her right breast. Daring let out a small cooing noise as she gripped Spitfire's ass in one hand, while running a finger between her wings. She knew enough about Pegasi to know that there was a sensitive area there. After all, she had brushed that area on her own body plenty of times in the past. The small moans coming from Spitfire was the all the confirmation she needed to know she had found the right spot.
Spitfire tore at what remained of Daring's shirt allowing for her breasts to be completely freed. She began to fondle the lovely melons while continuing her nipping of Daring's neck. Daring ran a hand over Spitfire's flower. Only a thin fabric was blocking her way but she continued to grind her wrist in a saw-like motion. Her other hand pressed tightly around Spitfire's back as she did her best to keep her close. Her head soon found the ceiling coming up to greet her.
Spitfire stopped her nipping and moved back slightly to stare directly at Daring. "Ready to take the final plunge?"
Daring nodded. "Couldn't see me doing it with any pony else."
Spitfire chuckled. "Awe, for that I am totally making sure you cum before this water takes you."
Both ponies grinned, took in a deep breath and dove beneath the water.
Now it was the just the two of them in silence. The sound of running water was dying quickly above them. Daring stared at Spitfire for a few seconds. It was hard to tell exactly how long she had. She was good at holding her breath but it had been awhile. Either way though, she was going to make sure her lover came before her breath ran out. She gripped Spitfire's back with one hand while grabbing at the fabric around Spitfire's lower entrance and tearing an opening for her.
She stuck her fingers in and began to pump them in and out for all their worth. Normally, she would take her time on something like this but time was not on her side it seemed. She gritted her teeth, while keeping an eye on Spitfire's body movement. She could feel Spitfire hand her hand also around her back while the Wonderbolt's hand hand found its way to her own sensitive flower. Oh those wonderful hands. She was trying to get it in deep. Her middling finger was waving around insider her.
Daring felt her lungs beginning to ache. She used the hand keeping Spitfire close to slowly work her way up. She could feel that certain spot within Spitfire. She made sure to fondle it with her finger best she could. Daring felt a sense of pride as Spitfire opened her mouth and gave what Daring could only assume was the loudest moan she had ever given.
Daring for her part, having seen Spitfire cum, felt her own orgasm hit is peak a she too let out all her air.
Both stared at each other, a blush on both their faces. Daring would have laughed if she could. Of all things to finally do her in, it was the thing she had been relying on to survive all these years. Her lungs were starting to really ache.
Daring took another breath expecting to find water coming rushing into her lungs. She expected that she would be blacking out in Spitfire's arms. Instead, a weird sensation came through her neck. Daring, now very confused and still very much alive, brought a hand up, raised her head a bit and felt her neck. There were slits along the sides of her neck and what felt like scales surrounding the edges.
"Gills?!"
Daring glanced back down and saw that Spitfire was coming to the same realization. Both ponies stared at each other in shock. Daring turned and glanced back at the mural and then at the door. So that's what this was all about. It was a way of being one with the sea quite literally. In fact, this may have been some sort of mating ritual.
Glancing now at the clock, Daring noticed that only a good few minutes had passed.
She then turned to Spitfire who was tearing off the last of what remained of her clothing. She smiled and then helped Daring remove what was left of hers. Now both completely naked, the two stared at each other for a moment. There was so much talk about now but no way to say it. Daring opened her mouth but literally nothing came out. Spitfire just seemed to nod and pushed herself forward. Again their bodies smashed against each other.
Spitfire held Daring close as the two locked lips once again. This time, it was a passionate kiss. One were Daring began to dominate, gripping Spitfire's wonderful ass while the two floated there. Daring pushed her tongue in, slightly grinding her body against Spitfire as she did so. Spitfire seemed to revel in the treatment, tightly holding on to Daring as she felt a sense of euphoria take her. Despite loving this, she knew she needed to do her part as well.
Spitfire broke from the kiss and soon began to work her way down. She nipped and bit at Daring's nipple, causing her to moan in earnest. Daring couldn't actually hear her own moan coming out of her mouth but she brought a hand up and tried to pat Spitfire's head, letting her know just how she was feeling about her.
Spitfire got the message. She may not be able to hear the moans of her new lover, but her body would still be able to tell her exactly want she needed to know.
Spitfire then put a vice grip around Daring's ass. She moved her face in front of her entrance. Daring felt a tongue begin to explore her outer folds. Daring gripped her new lover's head as she felt pleasure like never before begin to lick its way into her. Spitfire began to go deeper, her tongue dancing in and out slowly. With one hand still on Spitfire's head, Daring reached across with her other hand and began to run it over the part just between the wings. She quickly swapped so that both hands were on that area and she began to push against it. Slightly massaging the area. Daring felt Spitfire's whole body shake. There was no doubt in her mind that Spitfire just came a bit.
Spitfire suddenly stopped her tongue work. She glanced up at Daring with a big grin on her face. She shifted her body, turning herself upside-down. Her legs were soon locked around Daring's face.
Daring, quickly getting the memo, held onto Spitfire's ass and began to eat her out. Unlike Spitfire, she wasn't messing around. She dove in, trying to get her tongue in as far as it would go. She began to pump it in and out quickly. Her own entrance being assaulted once again as she did so. Daring wanted to cry out, moan, scream her lovers name as pleasure worked its way through her body. She couldn't do any of those things so instead, she worked bring her lover to her brink.
She let go of Spitfire's ass with one hand and used it to help her work her way in. Now using her tongue and fingers, running both as deep as they could go. In and out, trying to touch everywhere including a certain button that shed had to press as hard as she could with her tongue.
Meanwhile, she could feel the tongue work Spitfire was doing. Couldn't believe how deep she was getting. How she managed to cover so much with just her tongue alone. "Oh Celestia, right there. Right there!
Both felt their bodies shudder as both came at the same time. Daring wanted to scream out in pleasure but she could only open her mouth as a silent scream escaped out.
Spitfire pushed against Daring who let her go. Spitfire righted herself and returned to the loving grip of Daring Do.
Both ponies floated quietly in each others arms, lost in their own thoughts. So much they wanted to say but couldn't. They floated there, cuddling each other. Basking in the warmth of each other instead. Daring realized that Spitfire felt so comfy and she was currently love biting her neck again. She was so tender and everything about her felt so right and so good. Daring wanted nothing more than to fall asleep next to her.
After a good while of floating, the door finally opened. Both glanced over as it appeared to lead to a small room. Both ponies took each other by the hand began to swim towards the room. Once inside, Daring broke from Spitfire and began to examine the walls. It appeared to be a mural explaining how the potion was created and how it was used by the ponies that came before. She did her best to devote everything to memory. From what she could gather though, it seemed that her theory was right. This was used for mating purposes as well as initiations.
A large jar sat in the middle of room and Spitfire was examining it. Daring soon joined her and together the lifted it up. Thankfully nothing seemed to happen upon doing so. Daring hugged the jar, glad to have something to bring back with her. Though she also had to admit, a lover would have sufficed just as well.
Spitfire swam to the other side of the room and found a switch. Pulling on it revealed a door that seemed to lead back towards the entrance of the temple. Spitfire and Daring went back to holding hands and began to swim together down the long corridor. Eventually the came to another switch that opened up to the sea, right next to the entrance of the temple. Daring thought about just swimming back but realized how hard it might be to get the mini-sub back if she did that. So instead she lead Spitfire back through the entrance of the temple. After swimming for awhile, they soon broke the surface of the water, right next to Daring's mini-sub.
Unfortunately, her gills had yet to disappear, causing her to have to dive back under. After finagling around a bit, she managed to figure out a way to keep her head just above water while keeping her gills just below it. She turned to Spitfire who was in a similar position.
Daring groaned. "Welp, looks like we are going to have to wait for the potion to wear off before we can return to the surface." Daring set the jar at the edge of the pool. She had been tightly clinging onto it with one arm for so long that it was starting to grow tired. She then moved back towards Spitfire.
Spitfire moved closer to Daring who soon found her hand being grabbed once again. "Well, I am sure we can find a way to pass the time."
Daring grinned. "Well it's official, you are coming with me on every adventure from now on."
Spitfire got close enough to wrap her arm around Daring's back. "Well being a Wonderbolt may make that difficult, but I am sure we will be able to figure something out. After all, I don't think either of us would want to be away from their new lover for too long."
Daring felt a blush begin to form across her face as both ponies sank beneath the water again. The two floated just beneath the surface, their passionate kiss was all that could be seen before they slipped beyond the light of the temple.
Author's Note
This has been an interesting month. Not used to being able to pump these out so much so fast. Also it seems that there is only one Anthro picture of these two together. Found some human and Pony ones but no other Anthro. If anyone knows of any good ones, please let me know. Also let me know what you thought about the story in the comments. Your comments help to keep me going and know that I am doing something right.
