Wish Gone Awry. Enter Equestria! Enter New Life!

Walking back to Zecora's home Julius, Rainbow Dash, and Fluttershy meet Luna and Twilight, seemingly waiting for them near the Golden Oak Library.

"Waiting for us?" Julius asked as he saw the mares.

"For a little bit. I had some things to do at the Golden Oak, mostly adding to my notes. Zecora's knowledge of plants in the Everfree Forest and her own kind's plants filled in some blank spots!" Twilight excitedly said.

"Yes, they did. I felt a little hungry, and I wanted to look around Ponyville," Luna told Julius as the two mares walked to meet the group.

"Ah, fair enough. We spend most of the day at Sweet Apple Acres. I might have started a bit of a problem," Julius chuckles while rubbing the back of his neck, "so now the Apples and I are going on a trip to see Goldie Delicious's place in three days" Julius laughs while Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy lightly shake their heads.

"What did you do?" Twilight and Luna both ask, Twilight sighing while Luna holds back a smirk.

"Not much," Julius says, leading the group towards Fluttershy's Cottage, "just got Big Mac and Applejack to buck a pear tree, pears fell," Julius chuckles before nearly tripping over Twilight.

"Wait, what?!? They bucked down pears? I tried so many fruit trees; why didn't I try pears? Where did you find pear trees? Why did the pears fall?" Twilight rapidly asks after seemingly teleporting in front of Julius.

"Next to Sweet Apple Acres," Julius told Twilight as he steadied his footing. "As for why it worked well, I'm not sure, though I suspect Applejack and her siblings are a quarter pear," Julius guessed while leading the group to Fluttershy's Cottage.

"Interesting, why do you think that?" Twilight asked as she walked alongside Julius.

"It's just what Granny Smith was saying about the Pears, Grand Pear specifically. You don't say those things unless there's personal history there," Julius said while chuckling, remembering what Granny was saying. "I'm guessing she and Grand Pear were a thing when they were younger, and for some reason, they split."

"Or they had a breeding contract," Luna absentmindedly commented.

"A what?" The rest of the group all asked in unison.

"A breeding contract. They're rare nowadays but back when Celestia and I were young they were quite common. Generally, a mare will pay for a stallion to impregnate her; usually, it's a planned thing, leading to the mare joining the stallion's herd. Sometimes though, the two-part ways afterward, although that's rare. It's possible something like that happened between Granny Smith and Grand Pear; only the parting was sour," Luna explained as Fluttershy's Cottage came into view.

"I suppose that could be it. But the pure vitriol in Granny Smith's voice suggests something more," Julius remarked as the group got up to Fluttershy's door. "Ah well, we'll get answers in a few days," Julius sighed as he opened Fluttershy's door. "I'll see you at the farm tomorrow Fluttershy. Accalia keep being a good girl," Julius said lightly, scratching Accalia's head.

"Alright, I'll see you and Rainbow Dash tomorrow at the farm. Goodnight everycreature," Fluttershy says to the group while ushering Accalia inside.

"Goodnight, Fluttershy," The group responds as they turn away. Starting to walk into the Everfree Forest, Twilight remembered something.

"I just remembered," Twilight chucked at her slip of the mind. "Rarity wants to see you tomorrow, Julius," Twilight told Julius as they started to walk into the Everfree.

"Really? Why's that?" Julius asked as he took point.

"She's having some trouble with making your clothes. She's having a bit of a mental breakdown with the finer details," Twilight chucked into a hoof. "Spike suggested some gems; rarity is thinking of using golden and silver thread; I suggested that they just ask you, they went with that," Twilight told Julius.

"Gold and silver thread, gems, how common is stuff like that here?!?" Julius asked with some disbelief.

"Very common," Luna pitched in, "alchemy makes them even more common."

"Equivalent exchanged be damned," Julius chuckled to himself. "Well, honestly, I would like some mail attached to the inside of the landsknecht shirt. Kind of like a brigandine, only using steel, or if possible, titanium," Julius told Twilight as they started to make their way through the Everfree.

"Steel, titanium, what are those?" The ponies asked while Julius gave them a baffled look.

"Steel, you know, refined iron. And titanium it's a silvery metal that's about twice as strong as steel while being lighter and more resistant to corrosion," Julius told the ponies, who just gave him an odd look. "You probably have a different name for iron. You know it's usually a dark gray or rusty red. It's used to make most metal tools. Comes from meteorites," Julius says as something clicks to the ponies.

"Ĉiela metalo," Luna, Twilight, and Rainbow Dash all respond.

"I like iron better; it's easier to say, I'm going to keep calling it iron," Julius tells them.

"Why would you want iron in your clothes? It's heavy," Rainbow Dash asks.

"Usually, only guard ponies wear iron armor. Pegasi that wear it almost always forgo flying for it. If they do fly, it's slow and cumbersome," Twilight adds.

"It's not too bad if it's made into mail armor. Still a few kilograms, but you don't lose much flexibility. And if you can use alchemy to turn things into gold, then you should be able to turn things into titanium. In that case, I'll swap out the iron for titanium," Julius tells the ponies.

"Won't work," Luna shoots down almost right away. "Turning things to gold and silver is extremely difficult. It takes a high-level magic-user who's a master of alchemy and a protected spell to turn metals from one metal to another," Luna sighs almost sadly. "Besides, we've never seen titanium before. Turning one metal into another we know nothing about would be nearly impossible; I'm sorry."

"Wait until we get back to Zecora's hut," Julius says, lightly grinning. As the group walks down the path, a strange chill runs down the group's backs. "Jesus fucking Christ, it's been all damned day," Julius angrily sighed under his breath.

"Anycreature else feel an odd shiver?" Rainbow Dash asked, to which Twilight nodded.

"Ignore that; it's just my stalker; they won't go away," Julius explained as he and Luna continued along in stride.

"What?!? We can't do that! We have to find your stalker; we have to put a stop to this!" Rainbow Dash powerfully exclaimed.

"I agree with Rainbow Dash," Twilight told Julius as she started to charge a spell. "Stalking anycreature is very bad, especially a stallion."

"God, that still sounds weird coming from the other side," Julius thinks to himself. "No, don't please," Julius tells the two ponies softly, placing a hand on the heads of both ponies. "Charging through the Everfree trying to chase down something that I can't see isn't something I want to do. Besides, if I'm right about who my stalker is, then doing anything against them would be the worst thing to do."

"Who do you think your stalker is?" Rainbow Dash asks as she and Twilight slowly turn back to the path. A quiet moment passes as Julius collects himself.

"Honestly, I think it's some pony from Celestia's court," Julius says, much to Twilight's chagrin. "It's the only thing that makes sense. Either she sent a specialist pony to keep tabs on me, or a pony is doing that without her knowing," Julius sighs.

"Princess Celestia would never do that!" Twilight protests.

"Yeah, the Princess wouldn't just spy on some creature for no reason!" Rainbow Dash jumps in.

"She may have private reasons," Julius quietly says while giving Luna a knowing look. "I'm only guessing at who it could be. So far, the creature hasn't been hostile. It's just been watching me. Some pony or creature from the court is the only thing I can think of that makes any sense," Julius tells Twilight and Rainbow.

"What about Lyra? It could be Lyra. She's always been interested in strange and unique creatures," Twilight says, trying to defend Celestia.

"The mint-colored unicorn? Don't you think that's stretching a bit? I mean, whatever creature is stalking me has stealth magic," Julius tells Twilight.

"I can't see Celestia spying on anypony," Twilight exclaims to Julius's amusement.

"Well, I can think of a pony or two that would," Julius chuckles while giving Twilight a wink.

"Can we hurry this up?" Rainbow Dash chirped up. "Being watched by a stalker is creeping me out."

"I know how you feel Rainbow, that's been my whole day," Julius sighs in agreement. "Fortunately, we're almost back to Zecora's house."

The rest of the way, the group felt an uneasy gaze settle upon them. It didn't matter what turn they made, which fork in the path they took, if they doubled back, or if they stopped for a few moments. The gaze followed them the whole way, the entire time, without fail. Much to her credit, Luna seemed utterly unfazed. Julius masked it well, but with having to put up with it all day, his irritation was starting to show. Twilight's head was darting around, her eyes looking hard at every shadow trying to spot the creature, to no success, her worry evident on her face. Rainbow Dash, though, took it the hardest. Her whole body seemed tense even her injured wing seemed to be trying to flare. Every sound, random, planned, or otherwise, seemed to set her off a bit. Rainbow Dash seemed as if she was ready to pounce hard on anything that moved towards the group. It was a short way to Zecora's house, but the tension made it feel a world away.

"Finally back here," Julius said with some life in his voice. "Come on, let's get inside," Julius said as he tried to usher the others in.

"Stallions first," Twilight responded as Julius looked away.

"Right, of course, reverse gender roles," Julius thought while rolling his eyes. "Zecora, we're back."

"Ah, welcome back, welcome back. It's good to see you and the rest of the pack. I collected plenty of plants to go with my chants and brews. Some are easy to abuse; some are easy to diffuse; some can amuse, and some can give you new views," Zecora tells Julius as he and the rest of the ponies enter.

"Long shot here, but I don't suppose you can make a potion that can let you see invisible things, can you?" Julius asks as he walks into a small side room to set his stuff aside.

"I have no potion like that on me, though the very notion of making such a potion is one I can get behind. A potion to make the unseen defined will take time to be designed. A range of ingredients I will need to find. Without them, you might well end up blind. Should the right ones get entwined, under my pestle's grind, then the unsighted will be assigned," Zecora tells Julius as he returns to the room.

"Won't be ready for a while, got it," Julius chuckles as Twilight rushes up beside Zecora.

"A revealing potion. Can I watch you make it?" Twilight asks while Zecora shuffles through her collected herbs.

"A potion for another day this one is. For now, I want something of his," Zecora tells Twilight while ushering towards Julius. "Something you have and I do not. Despite having saved him, I have not gotten the 'knot,'" Zecora says before mixing an odd-looking herb into a vial with a purple-white liquid. "Now get into the bed. Tonight it's my legs that shall be spread. Twilight has been fulfilled with your seed. Now it's my time to do the deed," Zecora tells Julius before she drinks the potion. Practically forcing Julius into the bedroom, Zecora swiftly guides Julius to the bed. Nearly throwing Julius onto the bed, Zecora looked at him impatiently.

"Geez, you're usually not this forceful," Julius said in mild surprise as he let himself be guided to the bed. "Ok, ok, give me a moment," Julius told Zecora as he sat down on the edge of the bed. Stripping naked, Julius started to lay back before a hoof pushed, almost guided, him down.

"For days now, I've lived with one who has first gotten your seed. Despite having been the one to take you in, she was the first to bear your breed. To this, I might have acceded; but rest assured, my intentions will be heeded." Zecora told Julius as she got on top of him. "The next to bare your brood shall be I. These breeder balls I shall milk dry." Zecora lustfully said while dragging her drenched pussy across Julius's hardening cock.

"Ok, ok, yeah, I should have knocked you up first. But Twilight was a-" Julius started before being muffled.

"Now now, you can't forget the rest of us," Luna told Julius as she got over Julius's head. Lowering her body down, Luna's pussy was right against Julius's mouth. Starting to lick Luna's pussy, Twilight and Rainbow pinned his arms down, his hands against their pussies.

"You might be new to herding, but you still have to abide by the conventions," Twilight tells Julius as his fingers softly trace lines against their pussies. Taking a few moments, Julius starts to synchronize his tongue and fingers, awkwardly pleasing the three mares at first but slowly getting a better feeling for the timing. While Zecora was slowly dragging her soaked pussy against Julius's cock, getting the throbbing member nice and wet while savoring the pleasure of the imposing cock throbbing against her pussy.

"This feeling is one I've been craving, this time one that I've been saving. For a while, I've been waving, taking too long to go down this path I've been paving," Zecora starts to moan while grinding on Julius's cock. "For too long, I have waited. But now, in about a year, in me, new life will be created." Zecora moaningly states as she takes Julius's cock into her pussy. Swaging her hips, Zecora seemingly dances down the length of Julius's cock. Each throbbing inch massagingly being taken into Zecora's drenched pussy. Feeling the wet warm heat and pressure engulf his cock Julius muffledly moans into Luna's pussy as an enrapturing embrace takes hold of his cock.

Through sloppy movements, Julius awkwardly pleasures the mares. Fingers, tongue, and hips all in staggard rhythm, sending chaotic bursts of pleasure to the mares. Thrusting up into Zecora's quivering pussy, the tip of Julius's throbbing cock batters roughly at her innermost depths. Enraptured in bliss, Julius rocks his head back and forth in pleasure, his tongue teasing Luna's lowermost lips and clit with reckless abandon. Julius's fingers were roughly alternating their ministrations, sending teasing bolts of pleasure jolting through Twilight's and Rainbow Dash's bodies.

Muffled moans from Julius mixed with the loud unbridled moans of the mares, making a lusty slurry of lust-poisoned howls. The group getting lost as they delved deeper into the throws of lust. The pure scent of fertility and female desire hung heavy in the air as the mares' juices flowed freely from their quivering pussies.

The strong muscles of Zecora's pussy powerfully massaged Julius's cock. With each thrust, his throbbing member threatened to penetrate her innermost depths. Losing himself in the lusty musk, Julius energetically pounded into Zecora's pussy as a lewd mixture of pre-cum and juices covered his already drenched hips. Julius buried his cock fully into Zecora's womb with one mightly thrust. An intense pleasure clouded Julius's addled mind as a plush tightness embraced the tip of his cock. It was as if a million fairies were massaging the head of his cock, urging him to full Zecora's waiting womb with his potent seed. Julius needed little coaxing as he swiftly approached orgasm. Thrusting up powerfully, Julius impaled Zecora's pussy. Julius, fully burying his cock in Zecora's innermost depths, let loose a furious muffled moan as a torrent of cum flooded Zecora's tight pussy. The mares riding Julius's body felt him tense up in orgasm. Julius's fingers tensed, roughly pressing against Twilight's and Rainbow Dash's sweet spots. Julius's tongue shot out before lolling back, teasingly licking the length of Luna's pussy before resting against her clit. Loud, lusty moans filled the hut as the mares felt their orgasms overcome them. Their lusty juices flooded freely from their pussies as they collapsed in orgasmic bliss. Laying down for a few minutes, Luna staggeringly gets up while Twilight and Rainbow Dash cuddle up to Julius's sides and Zecora cuddling Julius's chest.

"I-I'll get some towels," Luna manages to stammer out. "I'll be right back."

"O-Ok," Julius says in exhaustion as he starts to pass out.

"W-wait," Twilight pants, "didn't you have something to show us?" Twilight asks while cuddling up to Julius.

"It can wait until tomorrow," Julius practically sighs as he starts to close his eyes. "It'll still be there tomorrow," Julius vague alludes to as Luna reenters the room with a few towels. Swiftly cleaning up the bed with the towels, Luna tosses them aside before cuddling up to Julius, resting his head almost right on her belly. The group fades softly into the welcoming embrace of sleep.
