Rarity felt the soft wing she was sleeping on shift slightly. Feeling the warm body next to her leave her as the other warm body snuggled in closer. The magi smiled, unwilling to open her eyes as she attempted to fall back asleep again. But then her stomach decided it needed food over her sleep. Rarity cracked an eye open, seeing that Fluttershy was no longer sleeping next to her. With another growl, the magi groaned and attempted to remove herself, Zecora's hands preventing her escape.

Those lovely hands and body were something she wanted nothing more than to stay with but hunger was really taking the reigns at this point as was the slight curiosity of what happened to her other warm body.

Now slightly more awake, Rarity glanced around her cave. Spike was still sleeping as was Zecora but Fluttershy was over next to her work bench putting her explorers jack on. She appeared to look little worried so Rarity did her best to move herself from Zecora's grasp without waking her and slowly got up, feeling her mind shift a bit as she did so. Something felt off but she couldn't place it just yet. Her bare feet felt a bit cold but other than that, everything seemed to be alright.

"Goh morning." The magi said with a slight croak. Her morning voice still working it get itself back into high gear. She gave a small wave as she slowly walked over.

Fluttershy waved her arms around. "Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." She glanced over at Zecora before lowering her voice. "I was going to leave you a note and let you sleep."

Rarity put a hand over her stomach. She carefully whispered back. "Its fine, I was just thinking about breakfast soon anyways. But I have to ask dear, this isn't like you to take off and run. What is going on?"

Fluttershy checked her bag and made sure everything she would need was in there. "I just got an update from Zeta. She told me that the Timber Wolves have been stirring up trouble near Ponyville. I need to head back and see if I can figure out what is affecting them. They usually tend to stay away from large settlements so there must be something riling them up. Sorry, I want nothing more than to stay but I can't just ignore this."

Rarity shook her head, placing a hand on her friends shoulder. "Its fine. I didn't expect you to spend your whole life constantly together with me, Zecora and Spike. I know that if anyone can help back home with something like this, its you."

Fluttershy gave a small smile. "Thanks Rarity. I have to get going, its going to be a long trek back and time is not on my side."

Rarity held up her other hand. "Just a minute." She said slightly louder than she meant to. "Let me go wake up Spike. Maybe if we are lucky he can move now. Zecora seemed to think we may have finally done it last night."

Fluttershy stared hard at Rarity, seemingly noticing something she hadn't before. "You do seem a bit different. Do you think you might actually be...?"

Rarity finally let go of her new lover and crossed her arms, grinning. "I'll check with her later but I have a good feeling about this."

No soon had those words left her mouth did they hear a yawn from behind them. Rarity turned in time to see Zecora walking over, her hands slowly moving to sign a good morning.

Rarity decided to forgo the fact that the two of them were still naked and gave the shaman a morning hug. Considering what they did last night, she figured a hug would be the least lewd thing they had done so far. Zecora let out a surprise huff but accepted it all the same, soon breaking from the hug and making her hands dance. "What was that for?"

Rarity smiled and put a hand on her hip. "I have a good feeling that something awesome happened last night. Care to run a test?"

Zecora raised an eyebrow. She nodded and quickly turned, walking over to her bag. She shuffled through it for a few seconds before retrieving some stones and some powder. Splashing the powder on her hands, Rarity watched as the shaman's hands glowed a soft green. She then walked back over to Rarity and raised the stones to the magi's stomach, lightly running them over her in small circles before carefully looking at them. The stones too seemed to give off a soft glow as glyphs appeared and disappeared right before their eyes. Zecora eyes seemed to dance as she went from surprised to intrigued and finally joy at the end.

Rarity and Fluttershy waited with anticipation as Zecora seemed to be in deep thought for a moment before looking at the two of them. She put down the stones and raised her hands. "While I will admit there are certain patterns I don't recognize due to how rare your circumstances are. I can guarantee your lovers seed has managed to finally take root. Though it will take time to see how things will progress from here. I would suggest you start making preparations now. Even if it may be months before you start to really notice anything."

Rarity wanted to jump for joy right then and there but the weight of what Zecora said kept her from doing so. Rarity glanced over at her lover, her eventual father of their offspring, deciding right now it was best to let him know more than anything else.

She quickly ran over and through her arms around his snout. Spike's eyes quickly opened at the touch, growing soft as he stared down at his mate. Rarity grinned refuse to let go. "I have wonderful news my love. Zecora says your seed has finally taken hold. We are going to have a... We are going have... A child...? Dragon...?"

She looked back at Zecora who simply shrugged her shoulders.

"Well we don't know what it is going to be, but it is going to be ours."

Spike seemed to hesitate for a moment before giving off a low purr. Rarity hugged him tighter. "I know this is going to be an adventure to be sure but its one I am happy to take with you. I am happy. Really." She glanced back at Fluttershy before turning back to Spike. "But I am afraid the celebration will have to wait. Can you move now, my love?"

Spike blinked and stretched. Looking clearly surprised to be in control again, he shifted his wings and seemed to grin.

Rarity finally released him and took a step back. "Good, Fluttershy needs a ride home and we need to start looking for new home ourselves. Sorry dear, but our home isn't going to be the best for a small one to be in. We are going to need someplace warm, with lots of room but also some place that isn't as difficult to get into while also being somewhat protected."

Spike seemed to ponder this as Rarity went back over to Fluttershy. "Alright, once we drop you off we will go cave hunting. Sorry I can't stay and help you but we need to start looking as soon as possible."

Fluttershy shook her head. "Its fine, I wouldn't want to get you involved. I am more than capable and I have friends back home that can help me just fine."

Zecora tapped the magi on the shoulder. She turned and watched the shaman sign. "I need to stop by my place as well and begin preparations for moving. Wherever you end up, I may have something to add as a precaution as well."

Rarity nodded. "We are in your hands. Go ahead and get on Spike. I just need to grab my bag and cloak."

Fluttershy and Zecora nodded. While the shaman quickly worked to get her loin cloth and cloak back on, Fluttershy went over to find a good spot to sit. Rarity turned to look over her work bench. She looked through her shelves, finding an old cloak that should work. As she went to grab it, something red and sparkly caught her eye as it fell onto the floor. Rarity bent down to pick it up, finding her heart shaped necklace.

Rarity had taken it off when the rut lust had started, worried about something happening to it. But now it seemed more that fitting to wear it now. Carefully putting the necklace on, she put a hand over it and remembered the time in which Spike showed this to her and the incredible cave that it came from.

Come to think of it...

Rarity felt a smile work its way across her face. "I think I may have an idea where to look first."

***

Rarity gave Fluttershy the hardest hug she had ever given the young woman. "I know its only for a few days, a week tops... But I worry about you. Please let me know the moment things get out of hand."

Fluttershy smiled and returned the hug. "Zeta will find you. She's an incredible hunter. But I don't think it will come to that. Be safe and good luck. It will all go fast, I promise."

Rarity nodded and soon broke from the embrace, pulling the cloak tighter around her. They were standing in the middle of the woods near her cottage but she still felt somewhat afraid of someone seeing her. She knew she looked out of this world right now. It was kind of funny, she was half naked right now aside from the cloak and yet it wasn't what she was showing off that she wanted to hide but the Dragon side that has managed to take hold.

It was going to be some time before she was going to see her other friends and family again but that is something she had long ago accepted. Now was the time to focus.

"Good luck, dear."

"And to you as well."

The Magi gave a quick wave as Fluttershy turned and headed towards her cottage. Once she was inside, Rarity looked back at Zecora and Spike. Her lover was watching the trees for any sign of trouble while Zecora remained sitting on his back, staring off into the distance in deep thought. As Rarity turned and began to mount Spike again, this seemed to break her from her trance. She tapped Rarity on the shoulder who turned back to look at her. Zecora raised her hands to speak. "The fact that the Timber Wolves are growing restless worries me. I may need to pick up a few more things just in case, but I have a theory that I need to discuss with you later."

Rarity nodded her head as she glanced forward. Spike glanced back at the two and gave a nod. He began to prepare for take off, slowly flapping his wings. Rarity called out over the beat of the wings. "I am glad I will have you along for the ride, I think you are going to like the first stop I have in mind."

As Spike took off back into the sky, Rarity bent foreword and whispered something to her lover who looked intrigued for a moment before nodding. As he beat his wings harder, the forest soon became a blur as Spike began to fly fast towards his new destination.

***

It didn't take long before Zecora's hut could be seen just below them. With the location still fresh in his mind, Spike had little trouble finding the place again. The shaman jumped off as soon as the Dragon touched down, his head looking towards the tree line as something seemed to catch his gaze.

"It will only take a moment." She quickly signed before sprinting into her home. Rarity was about to ask if she needed any help but the shaman was gone before she even had a chance to ask. Now sitting quietly alone, she glanced over at what Spike was looking at, surprised to see a lone Timber Wolf stalking them from the tree line. Its green eyes seem to glow brighter as Rarity made eye contact with it. But it did not dare make a move.

Spike let out a low growl. His body vibrating slightly as Rarity felt a chill run down her spine. "Easy now my love." She bent forward and rubbed sides of his neck with her hands. "Its just one Timber Wolf. No need to worry about him." Even as those words left her mouth even she was unsure if that was to believed. Something seemed really off. Like this creature was silently judging her. Not seeing her as a prey or even a predator. Something completely different that seemed to cause the creature to look hard at her. Refusing to look away.

Several minutes passed and soon Zecora was running back from her hut, a large bag slung over her shoulder. She quickly climbed unto Spikes back and quickly signed. "We should go... Now."

Rarity straightened up and nodded, glancing back at the Timber Wolf one last time only to see it had vanished back into the forest. Though the uneasy feeling she had before seemed to linger. Spike seemed to feel the same as he soon beat his wings and took off towards the sky once again. Only after they were well into the air was Rarity able to give a sigh of relief.

"Zecora… There was something off about that Timber Wolf..." She glanced back and Zecora nodded.

She carefully placed the bag in front of her, her expression growing serious, before signing. "Yes, Timber Wolves are of the old magic. A time before Chaos was reigned in by the Goddesses of the Sun and Moon. One may even consider them the most infused with both nature and chaos magic. But in any case, they can sense you are about to create a great change in the world of nature and these Timber Wolves are taking notice. They fear it. They see the possibility of this new offspring of yours being an Alpha among Alphas. Its why I wanted to stop and get some things. I will attempt to ward whatever you chose your new home to be. It should help keep us safe." She paused for a moment, her face growing weary. "We are entering new territory here. I can't promise anything but it should at least increase our chances of survival. I don't want to worry you though. It has been a long time since this last occurred. They may only chose to observe. But it doesn't hurt to be cautious."

Rarity nodded and looked forward again. Her mind abuzz with thoughts of Fluttershy, hoping her friend really could handle herself and of the offspring she was going to be someday bringing into this world. Her only hope was that things will get better with time. For the time being, she needed to focus on a new home. She told Spike were to go earlier so now her hope was that this new location suited everything she would need.

***

After a good long while of flying, Spike soon descended near a vine covered cave. There was a small clearing next to it lined with thick trees. They were very deep in the Everfree now. A river flowed nearby, making it the only sound that could be heard. This far into the woods hopefully meant a lesser chance of seeing something... Though it also increased the chance of seeing something else entirely. The Everfree was as chaotic as it was vast.

Upon touching down, Zecora and Rarity disembarked and began walking towards the cave. Spike quickly looked around him before following. He seemed uneasy but slowly seemed to ease up as he entered the cave.

Rarity felt a sense of nostalgia despite it only being a few months tops. The cave she had remembered getting her heart shaped gem from. It was still just as magnificent as she had last seen it. Zecora let out an audible gasp as they turned the corner and entered the main chamber. Still as incredible as ever. Lit by glowing gems, the water was clear and the waterfall seemed to flow from a spring meaning fresh water. The water itself was warm as was the cave. And to top it all off, it was much easier to come and go from.

Zecora dipped her hand in the water and gave low moan. Her body seemed to shiver for a moment. Her eyes danced as she turned back to Rarity and signed. "This place is teeming with magic. I can feel its warmth all around me. I cannot think of a better place to raise your offspring. It will certainly help enhance its growth. I would recommend bathing in this pool regularly."

Rarity grinned and glanced back at her lover. Spike was all all fours, his eyes fixated on the pool. She placed a hand on his check and he purred at her touch, looking over at her with with a content gaze. "Looks like we are moving here Spike. I take it you aren't going to be against this right?"

Spike gave a low hum of approval and a slight nod. The magi nodded and turned back just in time to see Zecora reach into her bag and pull out a small jar filled with glowing sand. She pointed at the weird mixture. "Let me guess, something to ward the entrance with?"

Zecora nodded and quickly ran back towards the entrance. Rarity followed as Spike began to move about the cave, examining every part of it. The shaman was quick to reach the entrance. Though vines covered the entrance, it was still possible to see the cave if one looked carefully enough. Rarity could also see just past the vines and out into the open air if she stood close enough to the entanglement. She glanced up upon hearing the distant roll of thunder as Zecora stood just past the vines. Clouds had now appeared and it looked like it might rain soon.

As she sprinkled the dust and began to chant something Rarity could hardly make out, the Magi felt a warm wind against her. It was a weird feeling. Like a change in the air. As Zecora's hands danced over the entrance, the sounds of wind chimes entered her ears and she felt a sense of calm despite the feeling of an oncoming storm. Green light flashed across her vision as Zecora's cloak seemed to dance. Wind picked up and soon Zecora was covered in a green aura. Her eyes glowed as she slammed her hands against the sands and dirt. She then lifted them up into the air before repeating the process. Each time she did, the sand would become consumed by the earth. Runes began to appear and as Zecora's chanting began to cease, the first drops of rain began to fall. The runes lit before disappearing. But Rarity could swear she saw the ground shimmer from time to time.

Zecora slowly rose up and smiled. Her hands and eyes ceased glowing as she began to sign. "That should do it. Anything that comes near will most likely be turned away. Though a larger creature may be able to look past it. But I doubt we have much to worry about. Still though, it never hurts to be careful." She glanced up at the sky before shaking her head. "We should wait for the storm to pass. The skies are not kind to the earth walkers like us when the clouds begin to light. Best time to enjoy the likes of ones natural warmth and might."

Rarity raised an eyebrow. "An old saying?"

Zecora grinned. "Something like that."

As the two made their way back inside, they soon found Spike floating on his back in the water. He looked very relaxed as he lazily hummed in the warm water. Zecora turned to look at Rarity before nodding towards the water. The Magi agreed. Zecora quickly stripped herself of her cloak and clothing, running towards the water and diving in. Rarity felt her heart skip a beat at the sight of the medicine woman slowly coming back up to the surface, her wet hair slicked back as she glanced back at Rarity, her eyes dancing with mirth. She motioned with a finger for her to join on in.

Rarity did not need to be told twice. By the time her cloak had hit the ground she was already diving into the water. It took everything she had not to cue as the warm water enveloped every part of her body. As she rose and slicked back her hair, she grinned. She quickly swam up next to her new lover, her Dragon watching on silently.

Rarity got up close, her breasts squishing against Zecora's as she went in and locked lips with the sexy shaman. It was a quick kiss but one that she was happy to make. As Zecora swam back a bit, her foot found foundation against the rock wall of the pool. Rarity moved and pushed her body against the shaman, their breasts pushing against one another again as she leaned forward, taking her lips to the sexy woman's lips once again.

Rarity wrapped her hands around her, feeling her soft body as she traveled south, grasping that lovely ass as Zecora's hands found their way around her back. As the two embraced, Spike soon decided to join in on the fun.

Rarity soon felt the warm chest of her mate against her back. His claws grasping the rock wall as his spear soon began to extend outwards. The magi's legs opened slightly as his slick member went between them, sliding against her moist tunnel and traveling up between the two woman.

Zecora could feel the warm rod between her legs as well, her legs still gripping Rarity hard. With a low growl, Spike slowly began to grind his tool between them, his tip pushing between their squished breasts. Rarity and Zecora moaned in each others mouths.

Rarity had never felt so wet despite being surrounded by water. Between the loving touch of Zecora and the meaty sword Spike was grinding against her sex, she felt her whole world disappear as she concentrated on the pleasure coursing throughout her body.

She let out a low moan as she grinded her sex against her lovers warm appendage. Zecora responded by slowly and rhythmically thrusting against the slow moving spear.

Spike seemed to be in high heaven too, giving a low hum as he slowly grinded his tool, back and forth in a slow steady rhythm. His lovers breasts pushing against his tip lovingly as his main shaft was caressed by the two lovers love cannels. It was unique feel for the Dragon, one that was doing wonders to his spear. It was spiking pleasure like never before.

But even this may have been too much, Rarity could already feel her peak rushing up to meet her. She did her best to grind harder against her lover, feeling Zecora vibrate in her mouth as the shaman came and Rarity followed suit, finally breaking from the kiss to give a hearty moan as she felt a wave of pleasure flow from her body.

"Ah!"

Spike took that as his sign to quicken his pace, his tool quickening as his own pleasure built to a crescendo.
He gave his on hearty growl before shoving himself between the two one last time before Rarity felt his member swell and thick ropes of his seed soon shot out between them, drenches his mates in his white liquid love.

As Rarity and Zecora basked in the afterglow, the two seemed to chuckle at one another, their hair, face and shoulders now covered in sticky white. Rarity gave a low sigh. "Its a good thing we are already in the water... Because it looks like both of us are gonna need a bath."

Zecora nodded, unable to communicate with her hands full but seemed very happy to say the least.

As Spike slowly dislodged himself, Rarity carefully broke from Zecora and swam back a few feet. She dived beneath the water, doing her best to remove the love seed that had managed to completely cover her upper body. She quickly ran a hand through her hair and face before coming back up again. Now treading water, she gave out a low sigh. "I think this place will be perfect. I can't wait to see what Fluttershy thinks."

Zecora, now with her hands free, pulled herself back up onto the cave floor and out of the pool, though left her legs dangling in the water. Seemingly ignoring the white substance covering her. She slowly raised up her hands to agree. "I am sure she will be more than happy here as well. I just hope she is well."

Rarity nodded. "Oh I am sure she is. She may not always look it. But she is strong. Its gonna take more than a few pesky wooden wolves to shake her resolve. And besides, once we get everything moved in, I don't see anything wrong with going over and helping her finish up whatever is going on."

Spike gave a low huff as he began to snooze on his back, floating gently on the waters surface. Rarity swam over and lifted herself onto his stomach, laying across him on her back as she let out a content moan. "But for now, you and I should probably grab a nap, that storm is gonna keep us here for awhile anyways." She flicked her wrist, motioning for Zecora over. "So you mind as well come over here so we can enjoy this quiet time between all of us."

Zecora seemed surprised for a moment before smiling and quickly slipping back into the water. She dove far under the water before quickly swam over and stopped just next to Spike. She slowly rose out of the water, slightly less messy. Rarity did her best to move over and make some room. Zecora gave a nod and slowly climbed on, laying down next to Rarity and looking up at the few glowing gems above them. Soon the two began to talk, (well Rarity did most of the talking,) amongst each other about random things as Spike began to snooze, the future looking bright as it ever had been.

***

Fluttershy shushed Thundaga as she huddled in a large bush. The Everfree had grown restless and it was apparent here to even the most casual observer. Timber Wolves had gathered together in a large area and far more than any Fluttershy had ever seen before. She clutched her jacket tightly and pressed her wings against her back. There was no reason for them to be spotted but she was glad to have her favorite wolf with her in case things got hairy.

She was currently observing the largest pack she had ever seen and was just getting ready to leave when she saw more join them. Then all of them then started to glow. Fluttershy was unsure what she was looking at but as the wolves bodies seemed to fall apart and meld together did is start to become apparent.

All of them were fusing together into one large creature. Something they only did when the whole pack feels threatened but to see this many do it all at once, meant that every Timber Wolf there felt threatened.

Soon multiple howls filled the air that slowly turned into one large howl. In the distance, more seemed to echo across the land, causing the young Avian to feel a chill run down her spine. She felt her friend shudder for the first time since coming out here.

Fluttershy motioned for Thundaga to follow closely as she turned and began to slowly make her way out of there. Whatever was going on, there was a storm coming and she hoped that everyone she knew was gonna ready for it.
