Alicorn and Fausticorn

Now that I utterly embarrassed myself with that record and the mess that it was, time to continue with my recordings.

After those events, thanks to their reactions it might not be necessary, but I might as well explain it as explicitly as possible: Faust and Zecora became fond of me, so to speak. I also began to consider ways of avoiding the surprise attacks from Instinct Drive (or I.D. as I will call it from now on). However, there were no results so far. This is mainly due to the lack of information beyond the fact that it lasts for twenty-one days.

And that's all I can say on that subject, for now.

As for the changes my little mishap brought, they vary. Firstly, I now have two mates. In order of hierarchy, Faust followed by Zecora. I'll get to the explanation of it later on so, bear with me. Secondly, I now share a bed with both of them. Zecora, who is much bigger than I originally thought, sleeps under my left-wing; meanwhile, Faust sleeps under my right-wing. Both of them snuggle close to me while Zecora rests her neck above mine. There is also a spooning thing. Usually, it's a couple's thing. In my case, I have to stretch my wing as a blanket to cover both Faust and Zecora. It is obvious how uncomfortable this is as both I AND my body seem to be VERY attracted to them. Meaning, constant contact makes me react to them during the night.

Those are the main changes and the ones that concern me the most. Now, back to the record.

Waking up to a refreshing aroma of flowers, I blinked several times before yawning and stretching. My body felt loose and light as a feather. After popping my neck, I walked towards the room where Zecora and Faust slept. Quickly glancing at them, I realized that they seemed exhausted. Therefore, I decided to prepare the mix of herbs Zecora prepared for us the past couple of weeks.

I wonder what happened yesterday. I remember chopping wood outside. Then, there was a faint smell of vanilla. I mused while picking the herbs with my magic. This telekinesis ability was by far the easiest to handle. And the only one I even attempted to master.

"Morning," A lazily sounding voice came from behind me, it was Faust's.

"Hey! Morning!" I greeted while preparing the herbs on a plate. "I'm getting breakfast ready. How are you feeling?"

"Wonderful," Faust said with a strangely happy voice. "What time is it?"

"Since we don't have a clock, I can only try and guess based on the sun's position. I would say it's around twelve? Maybe earlier," I replied without much care after poking my head out the window. Thanks to telekinesis, I could easily perform both tasks without any effort.

"WHAT?!" She exclaimed loudly, this caused Zecora to nearly jump off the bed and stand on alert. "Are you ok?" Faust asked while staring at me.

"I'm feeling better than ever," I replied raising a hoof in a fist bump. "My entire body feels so light, it's amazing."

"You're not feeling any urges, are you?" Faust inquired while Zecora tried to wake up completely.

Looking at myself, I scratched my chin before answering. "Not really, why?"

"Is it time for the stallion's fun?" Zecora asked with a somewhat drowsy voice. "This one is still recovering from yesterday. It's better if Faust first has her way. Rest her privates this one needs to." Zecora added while stretching.

"What's she talking about?" I inquired while looking at Faust who had the fakest smile I had ever seen in my life.

"I think it might be best if we eat before speaking about this. Otherwise, your appetite might be ruined," Faust said while pulling Zecora towards the table room.

"That's reassuring," I mumbled while using my magic to eat my portion of the food.

Our breakfast was silent. There wasn't a single word, let alone the sound of breathing. We could hear birds on the outside without any issues, and the leaves from the tree above us had a brighter conversation than the worried expression on Faust's face as she nibbled on her food. It felt as if she was trying to buy time. Zecora, on the other hand, seemed exceedingly happy while she hummed to her food.

"Ok. What's going on here?" I asked once Faust was done with her food. She seemed reluctant for a second, but then, she took a deep breath and spoke.

"What is going on is that you mated both of us," Faust blurted. "Several times a day, for twenty-one days. Without fail," She added with a slight blush on her face.

Staring at her for several seconds, I looked at Zecora for confirmation. She nodded positively with a huge smile. She seemed content and satisfied. Faust seemed happy as well, but she also looked embarrassed. Shit. Shit. SHit. SHIT. Wait. But. I don't. When? How did I? They. And me. Twenty-one? Happy face? Babies? Me? Father? What? WHAT?

"Sometimes at the same time," Zecora said with a faint blush as Faust tried to hide her face behind her hooves.

My response to that bullshit of an information dump was simple and concise. "WHAT?!"

"Well, when you took my magic, I think, you also took other things I kept locked away. Including a certain necessity that I kept magically suppressed," Faust said while scratching her neck. "So, I think that you were affected by it. And sought to satisfy that necessity. There is a way to suppress it again. But it won't be healthy for you to do so. Therefore, we don't mind if we help you there," Faust said while she shrunk on her seat.

"Although, we will certainly need one more. Otherwise, both of us will just end up sore," Zecora said with a snarky tone.

"I would say at least two or three!" Faust interjected before covering her mouth immediately as my head dropped on the table. "I-It's not that we didn't like it! Far from it! J-just for the sake of not having our downstairs ticklish and our legs being wobbly the morning after," She explained making me headbutt the table.

"Please, kill me now," I mumbled while covering my face with my hooves. "I am the worst! I just got here and I'm double-timing someone and can't even remember it!" I said while pushing my head towards the table. I remained like that for several seconds before I took a deep breath. "OK! I will take responsibility for both of you! We will head to the nearby town have both of you checked and see if either of you is pregnant. After that, we will get ourselves a home there. And then, I will find a job. If either of you can help out before the pregnancy gets-?!" I was interrupted by Faust that raised her hoof with a bright smile. Looking at Zecora, I saw the same type of smile on her face.

"As happy as hearing that makes me, you don't have to worry about that," Faust said while changing sides on the table and sitting by my side. "I am happy about you feeling responsible and being concerned about us. But, this is my fault. I did this to you. So, even if you were afraid and wanted to part ways I wouldn't blame you," She said while nuzzling my chest. "Now, in regards to a baby. You needn't worry because of two things. Firstly, mares are only fertile during a specific season. Therefore, sex outside that period is completely safe. And destined only for pleasure. Secondly, when a mare is pregnant the mark from the partner appears on their belly. And as you can see, I am clean," Faust explained while pointing at herself.

"Ok. But what about Zecora. She is not a pony. She is a zebra. And I don't mind that in the least. But, do the same rules apply to her?" I asked while glancing at Zecora.

"We do have some small differences. Mainly, our seasonal fertility starting later, and thus, ending later. And there is also the fact we do not have the marks of our partners appear on our abdomen. We do not have Cutie Marks, but we do have tattoos to symbolize the path we chose," Zecora replied before doing the same thing as Faust. "However, there is another matter that needs to be addressed. The head mare of the herd," Zecora said while leaning against me.

"Right. The herd," Faust muttered while bringing her hoof to her chin. "So, as much as monogamy is a thing from where you're from Stellar, here in Equestria, polygamy is common practice due to an imbalance in the male-female birth ratio. Because of that, males tend to be pampered and cared for. Because they are almost like a commodity. And this means, well, it means that..." Faust stuttered, it felt almost as if she didn't want to offend me or something.

"It means that the dominant behavior you just displayed is rare and considered an impressive allure. Because most males tend to be submissive and fawn over the mare that desires them," Zecora said bluntly. "Most males would not offer to look for a job, or even say that they would take responsibility for the newborns they were responsible for conceiving. In most cases, they will say that they will be in the care of the mare they fertilized," Zecora added while leaning harder against me. "In other words, you can stay as you are, or turn submissive and let us take the lead," She whispered in my ear with a weird tone.

O-k. Not happening. I will help with what I can. I just need to bear in mind that I will attract attention to that behavior. As long as I keep myself focused, I should be safe and sound. I pondered while turning to face Zecora.

"What Zecora said is true. Equestria is a matriarchy, therefore, most things and relationships are centered around mares," Faust said while rubbing her leg with her hoof. "So, you would need to deal with some weird looks and speeches about your supposed place in society. And in the herd, there is usually a main mare that makes most decisions on who enters the group. The male has a say in picking candidates in a healthy and balanced herd. But the final word goes to the head mare. In unbalanced herds, the male just takes care of the house and has no say in who joins the herd," Faust added while glancing at me with the corner of her eyes.

"And the head mare is determined by?" I asked while turning to Faust.

"The first mare that the stallion chooses to mate," Zecora interjected. "In this case, Faust," She added while stretching her neck towards Faust.

"Oh, ok," I said while getting up. "I'll go outside for some air. Then, we can talk some more on what to do now," I added while absentmindedly walking towards the door.

I sat outside for quite some time while looking at the sky. As far as I was concerned I had never had a chance at getting a girlfriend, a relationship. Now, I was in a polygamous world and had not one, but two (ponies of all things) females tangled up with me. Worst of all, I couldn't remember a thing about how I got to that point. I felt like trash and just wanted to disappear from the face of this planet.

My parents would have a lot of scolding ready for me. I can see their faces now.

"Is the royal worried about the relationships?" Zecora asked while I lazily slumped on the dirt looking at a leaf of grass.

"You don't need a Ph.D. to figure that out," I replied bluntly before blowing the leaf and watching it wave around.

"If it is too much to bear, this one is more than willing to leave," Zecora said, which made my ears perk. Looking back on her, I saw a sad smile on her face as she sat beside me. "This one has been alone for quite some time. Therefore, solitude is an old friend and almost second nature," She added while moving a bit closer to me. "But at least allow this one to enjoy this one last time before you take your leave."

With those words, Zecora leaned against me and nuzzled my feathers and fur. I felt the warmth from her as well as her heartbeat. It felt familiar, comforting. It was at that moment that I felt something. My heart almost synched with hers. My chest felt warm and my cheeks felt warm. I felt welcome, it, it was similar to an embrace. I pictured my arms wrapping around her and in response, my wing moved away from her causing her to look at me. I moved my head closer to her while my wing went over her. I pressed my forehead against hers, which made my horn mess with her mane.

"You don't have to go anywhere, neither do we," I whispered to her. "I'm not leaving either of you. And I'm not going to hurt any of you either," I added while opening my eyes to see a teary-eyed Zecora trying her best to not sob like a child.

"T-thank you," She stuttered while closing her eyes and pressing her forehead against mine. "T-this one doesn't know what to say beyond that."

"It's because there isn't anything more to be said," I replied finally backing away from her. That was when something struck me. "You said you were accustomed to being alone. Yet, there is a town nearby, why didn't you try to talk to them?"

"It doesn't matter," Zecora replied while whipping off the tears from her eyes. "This one is not alone anymore."

Getting up and placing one of my hooves on her shoulder, I looked into her eyes before speaking again. "Why didn't you head into town?" Zecora stared at me before frowning and averting her gaze.

"T-This one has attempted to enter the town. More than once. But, it was to no avail. The city has not been the most hospitable of places or the most welcoming for that matter," Zecora said almost in shame.

"Ok. That is not ok!" I said picking her up and tossing her on my back. Then I walked back to the hut and slammed the door open. "Faust, up and at them. We are heading to town. Now," I said picking her up and putting her on my back before she had a chance to respond. "You two are way too light. Ok! Path to the village, now," I said while walking outside.

"T-that way," Zecora said while pointing towards a path. "B-but you don't have to-ouch! Why did you do that?" Zecora asked.

"Just enjoy the ride. He probably won't let us get down now," Faust replied while I trotted through the forest. "Plus, if you just let it go, you probably feel very comfortable."

And thus, I had two mares on my back while they just seemed to use my coat as a fluffy pillow. The walk to the village was shorter than the walk to the ruins, maybe because of my pacing, but that's beside the point. The path was also different from before as the area was dark but less dense than the path to the ruins. It felt like an ominous walk through a dark forest. Once I had the village in sight, Zecora nearly strangled me, which caused me to stop.

"What was that for?" I asked while she jumped off my back, and so did Faust.

"Allow this one to show you what happened when this one first arrived at the village," Zecora said while jumping off the bushes.

And thus I felt my ears ringing as a chorus of screams echoed across the calm-looking town. The area was originally quiet and rather plain. Other ponies were walking around, I could see some stalls open. There was even a pegasus flying around with a mailman outfit. But, the moment Zecora came into the streets, the ponies disappeared into puffs of smoke and she was left alone.

"Alright, that's stupid!" I said while walking off the bushes while a panicking Zecora kept gesturing me to go back. "ALL OF YOU! COME OUT HERE NOW!" I screamed at the top of my lungs while stomping my hoof on the ground. There was no response, so I walked to a weird round building with a lot of windows that had a fancy sign over its door. It read: Carousel Boutique. I raised my hoof and began knocking on it.

"GO AWAY, ENCHANTRESS!" A voice screamed from within.

Scowling deeply, I knocked harder on the door, which caused it to break it off its hinges and made it fall into the ground. Suddenly a white unicorn mare rushed to the door with a deep scowl and closed eyes.

"You ruffian! I don't know what type of spell she has you under but it does not allow you to break down my door!" She screamed while firmly keeping her eyes shut.

"Why are you keeping your eyes closed?" I asked with a frown.

"Because it's obvious that she did something to you after you looked at her! Did you see her?! She is covered in stripes, she must have hypnotized you!" She replied while frowning at my legs.

"That is stupid. If she hypnotized me, she would be the key to making you hypnotized. Right now, she is hiding behind a bush way back there." I said while pointing at the bushes she submerged into. "Just open your eyes and look at me. You're scowling at my knees right now," I added while rolling my eyes.

The mare reluctantly opened her left eye and then looked up. Somehow, she turned paler, and considering she was white, that is an accomplishment. She stood up straight and froze as if she had seen a ghost. Ok. Maybe I'm too tall. I thought while lowering my head to her level.

"Lady? Lady? Are you ok?" I asked while waving my hoof in front of her face. She didn't move until I bopped her muzzle.

"I-I am soo s-sorry!" She said while assuming a weird posture. It looked like she was bowing. "I-I didn't know you were a royal. Please, forgive me!"

"Again with the royal thing. Listen, I'm here because of how you guys are treating Zecora! I didn't mean to break your door. I'm sorry about that. I'll find a way to pay for the damage, but for now, I'm going to fix this mess with how you're all mistreating Zecora. So, Come along," I said while stepping away from the store as she followed close behind.
