Heart Path POV. Reincarnation of a stallion 700 years ago. Continuation of the dream.

When we freed each other from our embrace, Azura (princess changeling Emerald) winked at me. The clatter of hooves warned us that someone had gone down to the basement. It turned out to be two maid's mares, one of which hit me in the face ten minutes ago (and then licked him). They looked at us skeptically, and the same red mare spoke to me, looking at the mess we had made here.

“I hope you weren’t going to fuck all the local mares? Because I'm surprised at your stamina, stallion! Twenty minutes ago, you pinned me to one of those wine barrels, and now you got to our new worker? Impressive...” This red-haired mare (whose name, alas, I do not know) said with a touch of sarcasm. She then pointed with her hoof at the fallen barrels in a more serious tone, but she showed concern. "You must clean up this mess before the innkeeper comes here and has a heart attack!"

I looked around and saw several fallen barrels, then with a raised eyebrow looked at these two servant mares and smiled at them. "But whatever you say! We will definitely clean everything up. I apologize for this mess."

"Well, fine!" This mare answered, then turned her gaze to Azura and, pointing at her with her hoof, spoke to her in a calm tone. "And you. When you're done here. Get back to work! Customers will start leaving soon and we need to clean up the tavern and do the dishes." Then, without waiting for an answer, they took the jug in their hoof and returned to the hall.

We were left alone again, and I was tickled by a question that I hurried to ask, and at the same time began to lift these barrels into place. “Can you explain to me? Why did this mare hit me on the cheek, call me cocky, and then praise me for having fucked her well?" I said, and I could hardly hold back my laughter. Although I actually knew the answer. Just hearing an excuse from my changeling princess friend was fun.

But she could not resist and laughed, helping me to put the barrels in place. Then she came up to me and, putting her hoof under my chin, gently stroked me. And she kissed me tenderly.

“You know the answer perfectly well. I was hungry. And during all this fuss in the hall, as you sat and drank wine with these stallions, I noticed that our maid, Sunny Kiss, was secretly looking at you. There were sparks in her eyes that we mares, and especially changelings, easily notice. It was not love, but interest and secret desire. In general, when she went down to this basement, and you just at that moment went to the toilet, I secretly followed her. Well, one thing followed another, I turned into you. In general, when she saw me (in your image), she was pleasantly surprised. Her breathing quickened. Well, in general, I gave her what she wanted and got what I need." Then she sighed and continued smiling. “Forgive me for using your body image. But she was very pleased. True, I weakened her a little. But she really liked it. I don't think you need details."

"Haha hahaha! Well, you give! However, resourceful. Well, what is it like to be me?" I said, unable to bear the laughter.

“Well ... This has its advantages. Do you know? In fact, I'm still hungry. And you just radiate love. What a pity that we do not have time to properly remember the past." She spoke in a passionate whisper in my ear and gently licked it, with which I really began to get aroused! Fuck!

After we finished cleaning and agreed to talk the next day so as not to arouse suspicion, I decided to return to my room. She went to do her duties. And yet... what an unusual meeting. We almost killed each other and then kissed. I will have to somehow carefully tell my friends about my find. It is important for me that they react to this correctly. After all, now my plans will definitely change, and I do not know how Valiant Romantic and Quick Strike will react to this. I hope they understand me or, better yet, take part in new perspectives. Although I'm sure I can count on Valiant Romantic, but Quick Strike... It can be tricky. After all, if what Emerald says is true, then... it could help end the war and make her happy. It's just dangerous. Some mercenaries are looking for her, which means that I must definitely drop everything and help her. Protect her, and if necessary, even at the cost of your own life!

It was already late evening on the street. And many ponies began to disperse to their homes, only the most persistent remained.

Do you know what was the reaction of those stallions who saw Azura and I leave this cellar? A little shabby but definitely fun. These stallions just grinned at me, and I rolled my eyes and shook my head! They obviously don't know the truth! I didn't have anything with these mares! But for them, let it be, a different opinion. In the end, this is just my own business. I yawned demonstratively, and wishing them all the best, went up to the second floor and went to my room.

“Something I’m completely tired for today,” I said aloud, without addressing personally to anyone, but when i opened the door and entered our room... a sword was close to my throat, in a relatively dangerous proximity!

When I turned my gaze to the one who was standing on the side of the front door, I was not surprised by what I saw. Quick Strike stood with a vicious grin, but then his face softened and he slowly sheathed his sword. Then he waved a hoof mockingly near his slightly wrinkled face with indignation.

“Do you know Heart Path? I would ask you for your password, but judging by the way you smell like wine and mare... I have no doubt that you are you, not a changeling! Then he put a hoof on my shoulder and invited me to come in and sit at the table. "Oh, libertine! Already managed to get drunk and snuggle up to the mare ... Just do not tell me that this is not so! I know you. But in general I am not angry with you, so tell me honestly. What could you find out?"

I chuckled at this behavior of Pegasus and nevertheless walked over to sit down at the table. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw that Valiant was already asleep. And this is absolutely correct. One of us should always be awake in this room. So Valiant will take his shift around midnight, and in four hours I will change it.

"I'm glad you trust me, but still the password is: End of the war!" I said in a low voice, so as not to wake up my friend.

But Valiant Romantic just threw off the covers and, looking in my direction, said with a slight grin in his voice. “Don't try to speak more quietly. You know very well that I have a light dream. And all this because of the damned war. So don't worry about me, and I also want to know the details. Especially those related ... to your scent ... um ... mares. Actually, Quick Strike and I started to bet on who it will be. Well, that is, from the gold that we have, on personal expenses!"

I laid my hooves and head wearily on the table. Quick Strike eagerly walked over and sat down on a chair too, then poured wine into two glasses and handed me a plate of salad closer to me. How caring he is, however.

Sighing wearily, I began my revelation. “Well, won't you believe me if I tell you that the smell of a mare is not what you think? It was close, though. We just ... kissed and hugged, nothing more. And also... I met my old, but not yet forgotten love."

I raised my head to look at my friends, or rather at their reactions. Valiant Romantic jumped out of his bed and hastened to sit down with us at this table, after which he also poured himself some wine. And Quick Strike also expressed his curiosity, sitting with crossed hooves on his chest.

"Well why are you quiet? Tell us your story. And don't worry, I give you my word. Everything that you tell us will remain only between us. Well, this is in case you're afraid for your secret. Heh ... You have love! And I thought that you only know carnal love. As it happened with my mother." Said Quick Strike. But on the last words he grinned again. "But I'm not offended. But I will soon have a brother or sister." He finished and took a large sip of wine, pointed his hoof at me, and then spoke in a mock, serious tone. "I hope it will not be a unicorn! Don't get me wrong, Heart Path! It's just that I've always dreamed of having a brother or sister, a Pegasus. That I would eventually teach him to fly, and we had fun.” At the last words, he raised his eyes dreamily.

"Yes. It's interesting to me too, my friend. Did you really meet that filly that you told me about somehow? But I never got any details from you." Valiant said and also looked into my eyes with curiosity.

“Uh-uh. It looks like I really have no choice. But this is only for the best. I will definitely have to introduce you both to her tomorrow. And you must know the truth." I said and drank my glass of wine in one gulp.

I (remember, I am a person who sees a dream through the eyes of a unicorn stallion) is also interested to know this. Anyway. These ponies drink wine like compote. And they experience only a slight weakness and at the same time they are in a good mood.

Memory. Heart Path-stallion-unicorn.

It was ten years ago. At that time, I was still living not in Canterlot, but in the province next to the ever-free forest. I was then only seventeen years old, and I lived with my father. My father was a hereditary forester and hunter of beasts of prey in an ever-free forest. When it came time to look for a job, I decided without hesitation to follow in my father's footsteps. I was attracted by the romance of this profession. In our area there was just a special school in which foresters were trained. I was able to take a three-month course that included: archery, knowledge of the creatures living in this cursed forest, knowledge of various herbs and a little physical training. This is why I was so easily recruited into this legion when this damned military conflict began, which has been going on for a year! Well, that's not the point. So, when I finished my practice, the senior caretaker behind allocated me a section of the forest where I must conduct a daily inspection and detour of the territory.

For a week I settled in a hut, it was on the outskirts of an ever-free forest. And in a week I was to be replaced by another forester. Several manticores and other smaller animals lived on my territory. My task was to monitor the population of these animals and prevent them from entering the nearest settlement. Well, and also check the routes of travelers who foolishly decided to go into this forest for berries and herbs, and were able to get lost. I had to help these ponies get out of the forest. And if necessary, protect them from the misfortunes of forest monsters.

In general, I liked the work! And they promised to pay me good money for the danger in such a job. So I was able to save enough money to move to Canterlot in five years. Moreover, I was calm about my temporary solitude in this hut. To do this, I had constant walks in the forest, and I could explore my territory enough. Later I made a map. For which I received an award from the senior caretaker.

On one of the cloudy days, as planned, I walked through my territory in the forest. But, having gone far enough, deeper and deeper into the domain of Manticore, I heard anxious screams! In response to these cries, I ran for help, realizing that I was in a danger zone where several pairs of these feline monsters live. Approaching the cave, I saw how the frightened mare was pressed with her back against one of the trees! And above her was the Manticore, already inflicting the killing blow with her sting! I reacted as quickly as possible by shouting a few hurtful words to this Manticore. It helped, he turned his head in my direction, but continued to hold the poor mare with his large clawed paw. Then I took out my bow and aimed at his head. He growled menacingly at me as he loosened his grip on the mare. But when she hurried to jump out of his paw, he noticed it and from the turn hit this mare with his tail. She flew off a certain distance and, hitting her back against another tree, fell unconscious. My heart beat faster! And I shouldn't have killed the manticore! Only if absolutely necessary!

"Oooh, help me, Celestia!" I prayed and, with a trembling hoof, let go of the taut string of my hunting bow. (In this school of training foresters, they taught not only to use weak telekinesis to hold weapons, but also to adapt to the telekinesis of the hooves. This was taught with the goal that in case of magical exhaustion it was possible to use our hooves lightly for archery. save my magic, for more necessary purposes. And even then I need to eat vitamins and fruits to replenish this magical energy to my level. And since I did not go to school of magic, I could not develop an increase in the amount of magical energy. Therefore, I decided to save my magic... telekinetically drag that wounded mare!)

Author's note: Sorry I didn't write this before. But all the music tracks that I inserted between the paragraphs certainly influenced me when writing the plot. It is recommended to listen to them while reading to liven up the scene a little and fill it with an exciting atmosphere. Those showiness.

Shot. And I hear the painful roar of this Manticore. He was clearly furious at such impudence on the part of the pony! But it can be understood. But I will not admit that he would have committed a hostile act in relation to a rational being.

I hit this feline monster in the chest with an arrow, but that only made him angry. Although he slowly began to move in my direction. My eyes widened in horror! Yes, I trained, but never in my life have I had a chance to kill a live MANTICORA! And this is the size of five medium ponies! With another prayer to Celestia, but without departing from my position, I telekinesis took out two "arrows of sleep" from the quiver. (special arrows made to weaken an enemy or monster) As we were taught, I pulled out one arrow with my hoof and held the other with telekinesis. And after the next shot, I quickly reloaded. This Manticore realized her possible fate and with a wild cry of pain, as well as with three arrows in her body, she simply flew on her wings to one of the trees. He looked vengefully in my direction and saw that I did not budge, and loaded another arrow, only this time I set it on fire with my horn! I'm already tired of him! I invited him to retreat, but he refused. Now he will die!

"How about fried cat meat?" I shouted at Manticore and at the same time firing this fiery arrow...

He wanted to dodge. But, he did not succeed. Because when he decided to jump to the next tree. He was not lucky. This arrow flew right between his legs! If only you knew that from the cry of the Manticore, the leaves from the nearby trees just flew off, as if autumn had come or a tornado had passed! Actually, this fried cat fell from this tree with burning genitals. And from hitting the ground, he was already silent... the unpleasant smell of burnt manticore meat rose in the air. Disgusting.

I wiped the sweat from my face with a hoof and sighing at the emotion that swept over me, I suddenly remembered that there might still be manticores nearby. And they definitely heard the roar of their kinsman! I hurried to this mare, who was lying unconscious, but when I ran up to her body... I was surprised, to put it mildly!

"Please! Don't kill me!" The changeling mare moaned with pain in her voice. She had green eyes and a similarly colored mane and tail.

Tears flowed from her eyes, and there were many fall scratches on her back. But what is most unusual in this whole phenomenon is that she is an unusual changeling. As far as I know from school lessons, this is that such eyes and a growing mane from the head can only be in those changeling individuals who are marked by their mother and are preparing to become the leader of their own hive! So I saved the changeling princess?

I shook my head and spoke to this mare in a soothing voice. "Don't be afraid of me. I ... will not harm you. Let me help you." I said and held out my hoof to her.

She just shook her head in agreement and grabbed my hoof, but when she tried to get up, she screamed in pain. I realized that her fall was not without injury. And then I concentrated my magic on her body, and transferred it to my back.

"What are you doing? Are you... are you going to carry me? On yourself?" She spoke in a painful but timid voice. She had a beautiful voice. Worthy of a princess.

"Yes. You're injured and you won't be able to walk on your own. We need to get out of here as soon as possible! This family of Manticores will come running soon and then we'll be their supper!" I answered her in the most serious voice possible and began to walk slowly towards my hut. And Glory to Celestia, I knew the way back well enough.

"Oohh... I hope I'm not heavy for you? Although to be honest, I have never been worn like this before. Well, except for my mother..." In the last words, she fell silent, realizing that she might be saying too much.

“I already guessed who you are. In the end, your mane betrays you. Well, your... am... beautiful eyes. Only I don't know your name. Well, my name is Heart Path!" I said, stuttering a little from my revelation. Heh. Who would have thought. I am a simple pony, I will wear a changeling princess on my back!

“But you're a good pony. And you know how to make subtle compliments. Well, my name is Princess Emerald. And thank you for not despising me... the way ponies are used to treating us changelings. To you (ponies) we are kind of like parasites. It seems that this is not enmity, but disgust for our species!"

“Never mind the grumblers! For me personally, changelings are not enemies if they do not harm me. So, you have a lucky day today. You were born again after meeting an unusual pony stallion! Don't worry, I'll take you to my hut now. There I have a first-aid kit with medicines. Recently, I have not taken them with me on hikes. I'm afraid to get expensive medicines out of my bag and break them. And I often have to run through the woods. Sometimes to save someone's life." I answered and chuckled at the end.

"I already realized that you are "very modesty"! But... nevertheless, you saved me. And I am really grateful to you for that." Princess Emerald answered and slightly wiggled her belly on my back.

I continued to follow these paths, known only to me. But at some point, my ear twitched and in the distance I heard the eerie roar of several manticores. I had to speed up.

“Oooh, not THIS! Sorry. But now will shake a little, so hold on tight. Just don't push hard! It looks like these manticores have gone mad. In the end, I had to kill their relative. It's good that near my hut I am scattering a special magic powder that scares away wild animals!" I said in a soothing tone, clearly to the frightened princess. And I myself only had it in my thoughts. Have I forgotten to sprinkle powder around my site today? Oh Celestia!

"Why can't I hear confidence in your voice? Have you forgotten to do something!?" Emerald said, with a note of panic in her voice.

Her mane began to flutter in the wind and tickle my belly! What made me want to laugh madly. "Ahahah! Oh sorry! But you tickle my belly with your beautiful mane! And yes, I seem to have begun to doubt that I sprinkled powder outside my hut this morning! So when we get to my humble abode, I will immediately run and do it. Otherwise, we may have problems! Serious problems. Manticores can harbor a grudge and go to avenge their slain kinsman. Do you understand why I am saying this?"

And again the roar of manticores, as well as the crackle of breaking branches, somewhere in the distance, made me forget that I was carrying a princess! I went into the gallop on which our lives depended!

"How far is it to your hut?" Emerald asked me and at the same time I felt her body begin to tremble with fright.

"We're almost there!" I shouted, and my tongue fell out of fatigue. No, the princess was not a heavy burden for me, but to run with such a load, and even on uneven woodland. I'm not that experienced huntsman yet...

After a minute of such a gallop, I descended the hill and rushed to my hut. But when I ran into the house and the princess came down from me with pain, she looked anxiously into my eyes. Then she spoke in a serious tone.

“Let me help! Give me your bow and arrows, I will shoot these monsters while you run and scatter this powder!" But without waiting for an answer, she herself took off my bow and quiver with arrows.

Lame with her left hoof, she literally crawled out onto the porch. Then I saw a green magical aura envelop my bow, and she began to charge it with an arrow. This sight made me realize one thing: when someone is in danger, he will forget about the pain, just to survive. Without hesitation, I agreed to the princess's proposal, and I myself ran to the chest and took out a bag with this precious powder.

Running out into the street, I ran to the first wooden (border) post, holding the bag in a magical grip. There are four such border pillars in total. Each is at a distance of about fifty meters from each other. Thus, they form an invisible square in the territory of my hut. But as soon as I frantically began to scatter this powder, three manticores ran out of the bushes next to me! Oh Celestia, help me, and I promise that I will not forget you even in a few hundred years!

These creatures naturally followed me! But they could not get close, constantly burning their paws. Because they stepped on this invisible strip of powder. But this only angered them, and they did not give up the pursuit. I was running and at some point I heard the whistle of an arrow flying by. Turning around, I saw that one of the manticores was burning with a green flame! And again the smell of fried cat meat. And again the screams of the monsters. From what I understand, Princess Emerald pulled out an enchanted arrow. But nevertheless, she is a good shooter. And most importantly, on time! I am lucky that these individuals do not have wings, which means that they are young manticores.

I ran to the second pillar, and to be honest, my legs were already starting to hurt. When I ran to the third pillar, I turned around again and saw how these manticores growled at Princess Emerald, who, sitting on the porch of my hut, was shouting something in their direction. She probably wanted to distract them a little to give me time.

"HEY! Beasts! Look what I have! "Princess Emerald shouted and what she did next ... made my heart, already ready to break out of my chest, to gain maximum tempo.

Emerald slid off the porch as her hoof was still damaged. The two young manticores stopped chasing me to watch the insolent changeling. Princess Emerald crawled in their direction, in her eyes I saw complete concentration. Seconds later, a green magical flame engulfed her. And on this grass no longer a changeling was crawling, but an adult manticore. She stopped and let out a heartbreaking, terrifying and threatening roar at these manticores!

My ears were stuffy, and to be honest ... I almost got crap from this scream, but I managed to run to the last pillar, and my magic powder ran out. After five seconds, all four pillars were activated and formed a protective dome around the perimeter. So now my hut is protected both from the air and from the ground! Meanwhile, these two manticores finally realized their defeat and fled back into the forest to their territory. I hope now they will think a few times before attacking my house!

I rushed to run to Princess Emerald, who was in the form of a manticore. But I saw how she falls, and loses consciousness, at the same time returning the true appearance of the changeling princess. I've seen enough today, but this is the first time I've seen it. Yes, I know changelings have these abilities, but I've never seen how they can transform their body into something more meaningful than just a pony! As far as I understand, this is a very costly spell. When I approached Emerald, her body curled up, tucking hooves under it, her eyes were closed, and her breathing was slow, her mane covered her face. It looks like she has depleted her magical energy, but I still have powers. I took her body with the help of telekinesis and put it on my back again to carry her to my hut. There I laid her on my only modest bed. She was still unconscious.

Completely exhausted, I walked over to the supply chest and retrieved the healing potions. But the princess lies unconscious, and I had to heal her wounds from the outside. I think when she comes to, I'll give her potions to drink. Not only will the changeling princess get hurt on my shift! Oooh, what a scandal awaits me! I think ... I better keep it a secret. In four days, another huntsman will replace me in this post. During this time, I must try to get the changeling princess back on her feet. A princess with a beautiful name Emerald...

I went to the stove and began to heat it in order to heat the water and cook porridge for dinner, brew herbal tea. I think the princess will not mind my modest treat when she comes to her senses again. While a pot of water was warming up in the stove, I once again went up to this changeling mare, and put my ear to her breast. Well, the heart beats at a relative rate. It seems that she has suffered for today, even more than me. Could it really be ... fate itself forced me to go around the forest, a little earlier. If I had lingered for at least half a minute and perhaps she would not have been alive now ... I tried to drive away sad thoughts from myself and smiled looking at the Emerald.

I studied her facial and body features in more detail. On her back she had wings that were shiny like dragonflies. Her body was slender, not thin and not full, everything was balanced. And those natural holes in the legs that are common to all changelings. The mane was long just below the shoulder and had the same faint emerald sheen as her eyes. She also had small fangs, but this did not make her dangerous, but rather the opposite. It was definitely attractive and pleasing to my eyes. Something I hadn't noticed before, that I needed someone other than a pony ... I wonder if they think I'm crazy about that? Well, if you consider that ponies have a cold relationship with changelings, to put it mildly, then I will most likely be considered abnormal. Well, I honestly didn't give a damn about the opinion of the majority of the ponies! This is my own business. This is my soul. What is, who suits!

It was noon outside, but since it was cloudy, pegasus forecasters controlled the weather not over this forest, but only over its outskirts. Therefore, after half an hour, I heard raindrops falling on the roof. I went out onto the porch to inspect my property, but everything was relatively calm. Only the singing of birds and the rustle of leaves in the trees. There was only one reminder of the past incident. Yes ... The lying corpse of a manticore still emitting smoke and a slight stench emanating from it. I think this will definitely scare someone away. My ear twitched, I heard a groan. When I entered the hut again, I saw that the princess had already come to her senses, and rubbed her head with a hoof. I walked slowly over to her and took out two bottles of pain relieving and restorative potion from the chest. These potions were the last I had left. Well, another wound healing.

"Drink this. It should help you deal with the pain." I said in a caring voice and handed her the bubbles.

The princess trustingly took these bubbles and began to quietly drink them, and choked a little, twisting her face.

"Hush. Not so fast. I know they have a nasty taste. But if you want to live, you will drink." I said and handed her the next potion. Potion restoring magical energy.

"What is it?" She asked before drinking the potion.

"It will help you regain your magical powers. I've seen what you're capable of. You've drained yourself out. Heh. The question is, why didn't you do this sooner when that manticore pinned you to the tree?"

Emerald eagerly drank the bottle, and then wiped her mouth with her hoof. She forced out a semblance of a smile and looked into my eyes, grateful.

"First. I almost ... out of fear, I did a shameful act near this tree. Well, do you understand? And somehow I couldn't concentrate my magic. I am still not experienced enough in these matters, unlike the older generation of changelings." Then she narrowed her eyes, brought her face closer to mine and continued in a whisper: “Besides, fate itself brought you to me, and you saved me. And we would not have met each other. Isn't it romantic?"

But instead of words, I just... pressed my lips to hers. This surprised her, of course, but she didn't mind. She stretched her hoof to my neck and pulled me closer, pulling me into this bed. But when I tore my lips from her, we caught our breath and looked at each other for a while. I really liked her green eyes. Really resembling two precious stones, emeralds.

Princess Emerald smiled at me and began stroking my cheek with her hoof, and then she spoke tenderly. "Tell me Heart Path. Do you always do this to a mare? Kiss her on the lips when you barely know her?"

"Heh. Well ... Not always! But such a chance comes once in a lifetime. I mean, kiss the beautiful changeling princess! You can safely say: my life is good!" I answered her in a cheerful voice.

"And you can really make an impression on a mare. I bet there is an equally beautiful filly waiting for you at home, who took your heart." The princess said with a slight grin and ran her hoof from my face to my chest, where she began to listen to the rhythm of my heart.

But her words evoked different emotions in me. There was no one special in my still young life. And I felt a little sad. I pressed my hoof to hers, pressing it tightly to my chest. Then I sighed sadly and let go of her, after which I walked away from her and went to the stove to get our lunch from there.

It looks like the princess was able to catch my emotions and realized that she said or did something wrong with me. She got out of bed, and it was clear that the potions had already done their job. She stopped limping. And she came up to me, ears drooping in regret.

With the help of telekinesis, I pulled our lunch out of the oven and put it on the table, and began to lay out the plates and other utensils. And Princess Emerald all this time was quietly standing in the middle of a small room, next to the table. All this time she did not raise her eyes from the floor, and I noticed how she began to pick her hoof next to her. She had something on her mind, but it was not interesting to me. I wanted to feed both of us, in the end it was a tough day. And that would be an understatement. We could die...

"Well what so and will stand with bowed head? Sit down at the table, we'll have lunch." I said in a calm voice, still not quite understanding why this changeling princess had such a change in mood.

"Thank you, but you have already fed me with your solicitude. And to be honest, I did not expect this from a pony. Who will feed me with her feelings, in my true guise. In the guise of a changeling." Emerald said, and slowly raised her head to look into my eyes.

It was both painful and pleasant to me to hear this at the same time, and I went up to Princess Emerald and hugged her. To which she didn't mind. She also rested her head on my shoulder, and I rubbed my nose against her mane. We stood like that for about a minute, she was silent and waited for me to say something to her. And I gave her that opportunity.

“Listen to Emerald. Believe me. I give you my word and oath! From now on you can always count on me! Even if I may regret it. But I won't. Because I like you. ... and I ... haven't given my heart to any mare yet, pony. Because. Hehe. I've never seen a wounded mare shoot a bow at a moving target and then crawl over to two manticores to scare them!“ I said and could not resist, laughed right in her ear.

She lifted her head from my shoulder and looked into my eyes, laughing at the same time as me. "Aahahha! So you just like me because of this? Mmm?" In the last words, she made a passionate and brilliant look, and I understood a lot for myself. I don't want to lose her...

"Well ... no." But I didn’t finish because she interrupted me.

"I bet you got a good look at my body while I was unconscious! But ... actually, I have nothing against it." She said in a slightly shy voice and smiled at me sincerely. And my special talent told me that she was telling the truth about this.

“Actually, yes. You are right, I managed to see you a little! But take my word for it, I was humble ... in my observation. And I didn’t look where you didn’t let me! I even covered you with a blanket. Well ... up to the waist! I just had to put you on the bed, and you immediately fell into this... slightly seductive position." I said, lowering my eyes to the floor, and began timidly picking my hoof on the floor.

My eyes looked at her hooves and I saw her right hoof rise quietly and lift my chin. She lined my face with hers. Then she gently brought her lips to mine and kissed me as tenderly as she could. Our eyes did not leave each other. But take my word for it. The stallions can cry too, and I reluctantly held back a tear. Because I knew perfectly well that she was a changeling! She cannot love, but only feeds on love! All of them are from birth a master in this art! But I ... I was fine ... I ... ah. I was ready to accept her with this, into my heart. Even if we don't have mutual feelings. It is sad and at the same time gives the illusion of happiness. Although, who knows. Maybe I'm wrong. But someday I will find out about it!

"Mmm. You know your lips taste sweet after drinking healing potions?" I said when we freed ourselves from our kiss.

She put her forehead against mine so that her horn crossed mine. "Yes. But on the other hand, I feel in you that what is for us changelings is dessert. Love. So is your heart telling you this? Do you take me in my true guise?"

But when she said all this, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed that her wings rose and began to glow. And when I looked at her completely, at her feet, because of slight bewilderment. Then different emotions began to take hold of me, including fear. The holes in the legs began to disappear, forming a full-fledged flesh!

"Emerald! What's happening to you? What is this magic? Why are you glowing? And your holes in your legs! They disappear ..." I said with concern in my voice, and dropped my head to her feet to better see them.

But she was silent, and just started stroking my head with her hoof. "This is all because of your love. I can feel it. You were gradually able to break my barrier. Tell me... Is it true? What I feel in you, in relation to me?"

I lifted my head to look into her eyes and took her hoof in mine to press it against my chest. "Yes. That's what you think. I need you!"

She hugged me tightly, and pressed her whole body to me as if I was her last chance at life!

"Thank you for your love. Heart Path ... Hmm ... and what smells delicious there? Well, let's have lunch?" As if nothing had happened Emerald said.

I freed myself from our embrace and told her with a smile, stroking her cheek with my hoof. "Of course! You sit down for now, and I'll make us tea from local herbs. Oh, and you know? I learned to find some herbs that have a very special effect on the body. The effect is as if you are in a good mood, even if in fact everything not so good!"

She nodded to me with the same smile and walked over to the table to sit on a chair. And while I was busy, I really wanted to treat this princess to an unusual tea ... When everything was ready, I laid out our dinner on plates and poured this magic tea into two mugs. And with the sigh of a tired pony, I sat down at the table opposite this glowing magic, changeling princess.

When we finished supper, she did not complain about his modesty. We started drinking tea, I watched her reaction. After a couple of minutes, her pupils began to dilate, and she smiled at me impeccably. Although I was in the same condition. The rain on the street had already stopped, and I invited her to go out on the veranda after dinner to breathe this indescribably fresh forest air. She agreed, and now we were sitting with her, hugging, looking at this forest. We joked and told each other about ourselves, although for obvious reasons not completely. And at some point I got curious.

"How did you get into this part of the forest?" I asked looking into her eyes and at the same time gently stroking her back.

She shuddered at my words and looked at me seriously. A light breeze stirred her mane. She sighed and began her revelation. “In fact, changelings do just that. If I am considered the future leader of my hive, then I must pass the test. I have to go hunting myself, go through dangerous places and meet the one who feeds me with feelings. And there are several levels of assessment this exam. If I return alive to my native hive and at the same time radiate a feeling of love, then this is the highest mark. This is the very feeling that you gave me this evening."

"Heh. You can always contact me with this. But overall... To be honest. I don’t want to let you go.” I said and rubbed my nose against her face. It made her feel good and she pulled me back for a kiss.

At some point, her tongue made its way to my ear, and she began to lick it, raising me into a new sensation of sublime feelings. “My dear Heart Path! Do you have a bed that asks for warmth, can you help me? I promise you will like it, and this bed will also not mind the fact that we were in it in two."

At that moment, my heart began to beat even faster, and these touches of her, as well as her gentle and passionate voice with which she spoke to me, finally woke me up ... and I showed a little of my stallion dignity. She naturally noticed this. And with a slight smile, she continued to stare into my eyes, fascinated. Her hoof slowly began to descend towards my stallion's body. She lightly touched its base with her hoof, and began to slowly rub to its base. Oh Celestia ... after this I doubt the loyalty to your crown!

"O-o-oooh! In fact, I have no doubt that this bed can accommodate both of us! " I said, no longer holding back my wishes.

"And I have no doubts." The princess said and kissed me, continuing to stroke my penis, which was already in full readiness. In fact, I was ready to fuck her right here on the porch! But I understood that it would be more comfortable on the bed, so I restrained myself. And this tea, which we drank, also gives its effect!

When we approached this bed, I once again looked at it with love. I didn't ask myself about anything, at that moment, my brain was turned off, something else was working. And it was passion! She went to this bed and put her front hooves on it and laid her stomach on it, and then pushed her tail aside. She revealed to me what I was afraid to see until now.

She turned her head to look at me seductively. And she asked her question. "Well, stallion, are you going to watch? Or will you already take it and claim your rights to the mare !? Don't make me wait! Otherwise I'll fuck you myself!"

Damn it! I jumped on her and pressed my stomach against her back, curling her wings. And my cock burst into her pussy.

She trembled beneath me, and I was pleased with the sensation. I started pushing into her and listening to her moans. Each time, she strengthened her voice more and more. And this was obviously spurring me on!

"Hey! Not so fast a stallion! I don't want you to quickly cum inside my tight and definitely sweet pussy.” She said and pushed me away with her ass, then jumped onto the bed and gave me a seductive look.

And as soon as I tried to jump onto the bed, she deftly jumped off it. And jumping over me! Oh ... This tea definitely works on her!

With surprised eyes, I turned my head to the center of this room, where this changeling mare stood! Who dared to play with me! Okay, I'll play with her!

I closed my eyes and grinned viciously at hey. "Do you really think I'm going to take your games?"

But she didn't answer right away. This princess just jumped on my desk! Where we dined! (and yes, these are exclamation marks !!!) She lay on her back and spread her legs, and at the same time began to seductively rub her pussy with her right hoof.

“I know we've already had dinner! But you didn't deign to treat me to dessert! But I'm not like you! So get started." She took off her hoof, showing me her winking pussy, and then said in a caring voice. “Dessert is served. Give it a try, I assure you, it is definitely delicious. Especially after the love you gave me today ... oooh. Come on!"

Not. I definitely like her! More than one mare has not had a chance to excite me so much, and they were not as playful as this changeling princess! It usually started and ended as usual, but this ... something is definitely new to me!

"Yeah. So you want me to try the dessert?" I answered, being involved in this game and continued. "You know, I'm not really that hungry at all! So you have to ask me to try it. And do it with love in your gentle voice!"

Princess Emerald just rolled her eyes at this statement and began to fiddle with her clitoris again. And at the same time she made lustful moans. Damn it! She definitely doesn't want to be defeated in this sex game. Well, I'm not an ordinary stallion either! I am the Heart Path! And it was not for nothing that they called me that!

I just walked past her as she lay on the table and massaged her clitoris. At the same time, a calm expression remained on my face. I went to the cauldron in which this tea made of magic herbs was brewed and began to drink it.

Princess Emerald looked at me in surprise and at the same time in ecstasy and said in her groaning voice. “Ah, so how did you decide to play!? Don't you like my Dessert?"

After drinking the last sip of this miracle of tea and at the same time looking at the princess, I felt a surge of some kind of higher power in my body. It's hard to describe ... I just threw this glass away and ran to the table where Princess Emerald lay. I stood with my face, right in front of her thighs. I took her hoof off her cunt, she didn't mind, but looked expectantly into my eyes.

"Mind if I eat dessert?" I said and my tongue licked my lips seductively on purpose.

It looks like my acting aroused her no less than hers me. In the end, she just completely lay down on the table and relaxed all the time winking at me with her pussy. "Ooohhh yeah. I don't mind ..." She said in a seductive voice, and then raised her hoof and began to lick it greedily. Yes, as if there was something really sweet! Well, in the meantime, I brought my face closer to her swollen and washed pussy. And my tongue started to work. I made a real tornado! And only her groans of praise urged me to continue to show intensity...

"Aaahh! Heart Path! Ooohhh. What's gotten into you?" Princess Emerald asked in a groaning voice.

I continued to lick her vulva and sometimes lingering on her clitoris a little more. "I got inspiration!"

Author's note: Yes, this character was inspired by me. I gave him life and gave him the right to do it!

Princess Emerald groaned and fidgeted on my desk, and after a few seconds she grabbed my head with her hoof, and the juice of passion poured out of her pussy. She is clearly having an orgasm, her tongue falls out to the side, and her body begins to contract convulsively. Especially tightly she wrapped her legs around my head. She clearly wanted to give me her dessert to drink. Well, I don't mind trying the changeling mare dessert. And certainly not everyone will experience it!

"Ah-Aaahh-aaah... O Heart Path! You really gave me today not only new life! But also new sensations.

I was too hungry to answer her. So I still continued to part her labia with my tongue. And her moans were like a reward for me.

"Oh! I beg you. Insert your dick into my pussy already! " The princess continued to moan, but only this time she really pleaded with me.

I decided to make fun of her a little. Moreover, the effect of this tea acts on me. "Are you sure about this?" I asked and then slowly licked her vagina, from which she, of course groaned.

"You must be joking like that, right?" Princess Emerald said and grabbed me tighter with her legs.

But for this gesture, I answered her painfully. I started sucking on her clitoris. Trust me, this is an absolute victory. after just two seconds, with screams of ecstasy, she relaxed her grip on my neck. And I just watched with a smile as she writhed, and again sprayed my face with her nectar.

"Aaahah! Here's how you decided to act !? "The princess said in a groaning voice, and then she rolled onto her side and jumped off the table.

Emerald came up to me and began to lick my face greedily, while hugging me. And then her tongue moved to my ear and she began to lick me, all the while exciting with her moans. Her hind legs parted and she knocked me straight to the floor! It hurt a little, but bearable. And I looked expectantly at this changeling mare. She simply and without ceremony sat on my full-length penis with her pussy, and rolled her eyes in ecstasy.

I grabbed her by the buttocks with my hooves, and she smoothly began her jumps. Her mane was already drenched in sweat and fell seductively against her face.

“Ooooo, Emerald! I can't stand it for long if you keep this pace, and even squeeze me with your pussy!"

She quickly leaned over to me and began kissing me, all the while fucking with me. and then she looked at me with incredibly beautiful eyes and spoke in a passionate tone. “Please! Heart Path! Cum in my womb! I want to carry your seed ... Ah." She didn't have time to finish.

"I will not deny you this request." Then I leaned my forehead against her and spoke seriously to her, continuing to fuck her. "Remember! I will be a father!" I told her, and then my sperm pressure rushed into her uterus.

"Ooohh! And you haah, you must have held back for a long time! Are the mares in your settlement so stubborn that they do not want to help the stallion in his need?"

"Almost. We complicate the courtship process a little. Heh, I don’t like it very much .. Although I’m not complaining ... ”I said almost the truth. I didn't want to break the idyll at such a moment.

I freed myself from our sexual embrace, and she stuck out her tongue for the last time, moaning slightly. And then I watched my seed flow out of her, and I could not resist, crawled closer to her and kissed her on the lips. She embraced me with her hoof and spoke to me affectionately, continuing to look into my eyes, with slightly drooping eyelids.

"Heart Path. I am sure that if a cloudy and boring day comes in my life, or in general everything is bad, then I will remember you. And then my day will be much better. Today you gave me a new life. And maybe, and I have no doubt about it ... you gave life to someone in the future." She said and kissed me again. But I felt that she was already tired. As well as I.

Gathering my last magical powers, I unceremoniously took Princess Emerald with telekinesis and put her to bed. I covered her with a blanket, for which she was immensely grateful. My legs ... could hardly move. They have a good training session today. So I just collapsed next to my bed. But after a couple of minutes, I felt the magic grab my body and rise into the air. But I no longer had the strength to even open my eyes. This magic brought me to bed, closer to the one I loved, in just a few hours of this day...

I fell asleep pretty quickly. But you yourself understand why. I was shocked this afternoon. But when I woke up in the morning ... I was already alone ... uh. She left. And she didn't even warn me about it. She probably wanted me to have a good rest. I jumped out of bed and when I ran out onto the porch, the morning breeze was blowing over me. I shouted her name, but she did not answer me. I think now you will have to understand me, but I cried, covering my eyes with hooves. I cried with sadness that I would never see her again. Although all this time I lived with hope. Hope to see her again. My love for a changeling princess named Emerald...

Here's a story...

“And all this time ... you were just hiding from everyone that you fell in love with a changeling princess? In fact, I can understand you. But personally, I don't think there is anything embarrassing about that. Yes, I'm sure you are not alone! I would also like to try a changeling mare for a change! Heh. Just look at the prospects that may open up. You can ask her to turn into Celestia, and then you will be proud to fuck our ruler!" Said Quick Strike with a smirk on his face. But his joke went right, and Valiant laughed.

“Yes, I thought you would say so! The joke with Celestia is especially good, lately I have been often talked about it. I wonder where this will lead in the end?" I answered with a smile. My soul felt better. After all, my friends now know the truth.

Valiant wiped away his tears and realized something. Then he put a hoof on my shoulder and looked at me seriously. "Listen carefully. And answer briefly. The walls may have ears, so speak quietly."

"I already understood what you want to ask. But I think you already guessed. So this is mostly for Quick Strike." I said and looked into the eyes of our pegasus.

"Azura?" Valiant asked.

"Correctly. That's why I smell like a mare. But I beg, and I beg you. Keep it a secret. Tomorrow I will arrange a meeting for us, she will tell you everything. And you have to make a choice: go with me, or stay. But for myself personally, I already made my choice ten years ago. When I swore to her.” I said, but there was tension in my chest.

“My friend, Heart Path. You and I have been through a lot and have seen a lot. You can always count on me. I will go with you! Besides, I am interested to see the changeling princess. "Valiant the Romantic answered me, and without waiting he jumped off his chair and went to sleep. "I am to sleep, otherwise I will soon take over duty."

I watched as Quick Strike started to get nervous, lowered his head and spoke. “I don’t know what to say to that. After all, we will be considered deserters! And, most likely, we will be persecuted. Do you have any idea what you're going to do? Help changeling?"

"Quick Strike! You need to listen to her story before accepting your choice. And I won't press you, and I won't be offended if you don't come with us." I said and also went to my bed, barely moving my legs.

“Okay, rest, guys. I think we'll figure it out tomorrow. Heh ... Some kind of devilry. My Praetorian status will be completely erased. But in other way. No one is waiting for me at home. Well, maybe Mom, although she will soon have a foal. And you are Heart Path, you know very well about it." Said Quick Strike, laid his head on the table and began to whine from all these emotions that overwhelmed him.

Each time I am more and more convinced that this dream has captured my consciousness until I learn something important. Princess Luna is no longer trying to contact me. And I started to worry if I was stuck here for a long time. Chrysalis, Discord and Autumn Blaze are waiting for me there. I hope they didn't think I was dead or falling into a coma? Although I can't say with certainty how much time has passed.
