Heart Path POV. Part 2. The Magic of Love.

Discord, Raiden and I watched the Cadence, while each of us could not help but feel a sense of excitement, because this whole situation, at least, was very unusual for us. I let go of Cadence's hoof when I noticed a painful grimace on her face, to which Raiden tried to react as quickly as possible. And this undoubtedly surprised Discord and me, while Cadence, with panic on her face, began to examine her hooves.

"Excuse us, Princess Cadence." Raiden said in a calm voice, then looked at the glowing crystal in the ceiling and used magic to reduce the brightness of the lighting in this room. "I think it's better this way. And now..." Raiden looked again at Cadence, who was already able to open her eyes more freely, but her painful grimace on her face still persisted, which could not but cause concern for all of us. "So, where are my manners? Let me introduce myself, my name is Raiden..." But he didn't have time to finish.

Discord quickly wrapped his arms around Raiden's neck and bent down to be on a level with Cadence's eyes, and then smiled slyly. "Yes, and this stud is a great guy, besides being my..." But Discord, too, did not have time to finish his joking speech.

Raiden forced a smile. "Shut up, Discord! Now is not the time for these revelations." Raiden said through his teeth.

But while I stood quietly and patiently by the bed, watching this whole idiotic scene, there was still a lot of anxiety in my thoughts. And the fact that today I have to solve quite a few problems, did not add to my sense of relaxation. So I decided to tactfully interrupt the silly antics of two brothers who behaved like two jerks.

"Stop acting like idiots!" I said in a calm and quiet voice, but after that I carefully examined Cadence's body again. "Princess..."

Cadence tried to get up and roll over on her stomach, but she was still in pain, but she did not take her eyes off me. "I'm asking you all to forget this damn title! Just call me Cadence." She said and turned her face, while trying to smile to look at Discord and Raiden, who had already stopped their idiotic games. "Of course, I am sincerely happy that I am among friends. Yes, I am already familiar with Discord, and this is certainly a pleasant meeting for me... But I ask you to give me answers, otherwise, I can be understood. Today I have experienced quite a few trials. And I'm also glad to meet you, Raiden." After these words, Cadence looked at me again. "Hmm... And I've only seen you in photographs in newspapers, and after I arrived in Canterlot, I was able to meet your friend... robot, Night Fog. He was able to show us many videos, and I still don't understand, how these technologies work. But, I'm also glad that I know you personally now, Heart Path." Cadence whispered her last words and looked at me with great curiosity. And I can understand her because I looked at her the same way. She was very attractive in many ways.

But it was Raiden who decided to be the one who would give the answers. "Cadence. You are on the island of Peak Fear. At the moment we are all in the Temple of the Righteous Dragon, which is not only a place of sacred worship, but also a well-organized shelter. And this morning, when we learned from Heart Path that you will have to appear on this island, with the help of strong, magical teleportation, it certainly surprised everyone. But we did not stay away, but hurried to organize your search. It was Chrysalis who volunteered to help to find you on this island, and it was completely logical, given her magical abilities..." But when Raiden mentioned the name Chrysalis, it caused feelings of concern for me and for Cadence.

"Please tell me that Chrysalis is fine! I'm worried about it. Chrysalis really saved my life in time... perhaps I wouldn't be among you if it weren't for she!" Cadence said with growing concern in her voice and straining with all her strength, she tried to jump off this bed. "Aaay!"

Of course, she did not succeed, because her body was still sore and weak. I hurried to calm Cadence by putting my hands on her neck. "Quiet, quiet... You don't have to move so hard. Don't worry, Chrysalis is in the next room. I'll have to check her condition when we're done with you. Please, Cadence, lie down and try to calm down, and judging by the way your right wing looks, we haven't finished providing medical care yet!" I looked back at Ryden and Discord. "Hurry up Raiden! You can see that it hurts her!" I said in a worried voice. My heart beat faster experiencing a lot of excitement, and I looked at Cadence again.

Cadence listened to my advice and lay down on her stomach again, stretching out her hooves in front of her, but turned her saddened face to look at her wing. "Damn it!" Cadence grumbled when she tried to move her wing, but again made a painful grimace on her face when her attempt only brought her pain. "Oh... I must have hurt my side badly..."

"So, jokes aside!" Raiden said and moved closer to the bed to carefully inspect the Cadence wing. "Yes... this can be fixed." He looked seriously into Cadence's eyes. "But, you have to have the courage and be patient. It's going to hurt! But only the first few seconds! And no matter how shameful it sounds, the analgesic potions are still not ready." Raiden said regretfully and carefully watched Cadence's reaction.

Personally, at this moment, I swallowed a lump that rolled up to my throat and coughed slightly. Because I can only imagine what will be in this room now and maybe I will need to somehow play my role.

But Cadence looked at us all seriously. "If it is so necessary, then I am ready to endure this pain! But please do your thing, I still want to be able to control these wings." Said Cadence in a determined voice, but then she turned away, took a deep breath and put her chin on the bed. "Please... give me some water. I'm thirsty." Cadence whispered and sniffed.

I wiped a drop of sweat from my forehead and looked at the bedside table in the corner of this room, and then looked into Cadence's eyes again, trying to give her as much care and hope as possible. "Yes, of course! I'm sorry, Cadence, but I really understand you... Anyway, I'd really like to take away your pain if it helps." I said in a friendly voice, going to the corner of this room, where there was a small bedside table, and there was a jug of water and several wooden cups.

Raiden just nodded in the affirmative and left the room. "I'll be back in a couple of minutes." Raiden said, closing the door behind him.

At this time, Discord began to walk quietly around this room and rub his beard, keeping a thoughtful look and apparently analyzing something in his chaotic brain. "Cadence... Cadence... To be honest, you were able to surprise me with your appearance on this island. But sometimes, fate plays unexpected jokes with us. Of all the princesses I could see in the near future, that would help us in this fight against the army of demons... You, Cadence, are the last pony I expected to see! Yes, I thought it was quite possible, since I have already seen that my friend..." Discord looked at me and smiled. "Heart Path and Celestia have formed a mental connection. So I thought it would be Celestia."

"In fact, Celestia was very eager to get to this island, as well as Luna and even Trixie! But fate decided that it should be me." Replied Cadence, looking at Discord.

I walked over to Cadence and handed her a cup of water. "In fact, I am ready to agree and accept such a fate. Besides, I won't lie, but I also wanted to see you, Cadence." I said in a gentle voice.

"Thank you, Heart Path." Cadence said in a gentle, grateful voice, with a slight smile, took this cup with her telekinesis and began to drink this water greedily.

When she finished, I patiently watched her, which did not escape her attention, and it seems to me, through this dim lighting in this room, I could notice how Cadence's cheeks began to blush a little, and her eyes sparkled with enchanted and amorous mystery. Well, I could have expected it from the Princess of Love, so I couldn't restrain my smile and lowered eyelids to enter this game. After all, I already have some experience in dealing with mares and can understand their body language. Of course, this experience comes from the so-called "Voice of my Heart".

"Do you want more water?" I asked, and out of the corner of my eye I noticed Discord looking at me with a sly grin on his face.

"In fact, I feel so weak and hungry that I would not refuse to eat." Cadence said, and with a sad sigh, lowered her eyes so as not to look at me.

But I got down on one knee and decided to cheer up this mare a little. I stretched out my palm to her cheek, which caused Cadence to start watching my actions with curiosity, but I didn't keep myself waiting long.

I gently stroked her cheek, continuing to look into the sparkling eyes of Cadence, but she calmly accepted this gesture. "Be patient, Cadence. I promise, we'll take care of you. All the Kirins I have met are very nice and do not refuse to show friendly care. For them, we're still amazing, so you should expect a lot of curiosity.... truth... sometimes they are unpredictable. But you'll find out soon enough." I said in a low voice.

Cadence shifted her gaze from my hand to my face and looked into my eyes. "It's very nice and I even started to forget about my pain." Cadence whispered with a smile on her face and slightly lowered her eyelids.

"Ahem! Ahem! I'm sorry I'm trying to interfere with your games. I think I have an idea!" Discord said in a cheerful voice, coming up to us and rubbing his paws.

Cadence and I looked at Discord questioningly, but just at that moment Raiden entered the room, while a white sheet and several gauze bandages hung in his magical aura.

His ear twitched and he looked carefully at Discord and at me. "I hope I'm not taking too long? Okay..." Without waiting for an answer, Raiden walked to the middle of this bed and began to unfold the sheets, then looked at Discord again. "Em... Discord!"

"What?" Discord replied and looked at his brother with a raised eyebrow, trying to understand his plan.

"Your task is to hold this bed sheet, at the level of Cadence's shoulder. Yes, yes! I'm doing this to..." Raiden looked at Cadence's surprised face. "It will be painful, so you'd better not see this procedure. And it is impossible to give you a sleeping potion now, since you are already weak. There is a chance that your body will get severely dehydrated, so it's better to keep you conscious. But..." But Raiden didn't have time to finish.

Discord cleared his throat again and decided to draw attention to himself, while I continued to soothingly stroke Cadence's cheek and neck, which, of course, gave her pleasure. Another deep sigh from Cadence made me realize that my soothing touches were quite coping with their task.

"Heh! Before you entered this room, I thought a little about how we could help Cadence and at the same time try to reduce her suffering during this painful process." Discord said and looked into my eyes mysteriously, while Raiden made it clear that he was ready to listen to this idea. "I think we can use the Cardiac Pathway as a replacement for painkillers!" Discord answered the unasked question, and after that, with a grin on his face, he took this big white cloth in his chaotic hands.

I got a little distracted from my affectionate attention to Cadence, and looked at Discord with narrowed eyes. "What do you mean?" I asked, not hiding my curiosity.

Discord exchanged glances with Raiden and looked at me like I was an idiot. "Haven't you noticed how good you are at calming the mare lying in front of you with your touches? Then look again at Cadence's contented face!" Discord said in a reproachful voice.

But before either Cadence or I could say anything, Raiden was the first to step in. "Great idea! So..." He looked at Cadence and decided to play along with his brother's joking manners a little. Raiden put a sly but kind smile on his face and continued: "So, Discord is quite right! And you, Cadence, just need to relax and have fun! And the sooner we finish this operation, the sooner we can go to Chrysalis and help her." After that, he looked at my surprised face. "I believe in you, son! So try to use your talent for the benefit of medicine!" After these words, he nodded conspiratorially and walked around this bed, from the side, to be in front of the dislocated wing of the Cadence.

And while Discord stretched this bed sheet with the help of telekinesis magic, I slowly turned my gaze to Cadence. Yes... I felt like she was afraid, but at the same time she was fighting an internal battle in her thoughts. Her breathing quickened, and her ears twitched nervously, and her body began to shake a little.

But I think I could understand Discord and Raiden's hints, so I got down on one knee again and tried to get Cadence's attention. "Calm down, everything will be fine... I will be with you at this moment. Besides, I believe in you! You really are not only beautiful, but also a strong mare! You were able to survive in this tartarus and proved to all of us that you are capable of fighting demons with dignity..." I spoke in a quiet, soothing voice and gently stroked Cadence's neck and mane, putting into these actions all my tenderness and care that I was capable of.

Cadence looked at me with love in her eyes and put her hoof to my hand, after which she took a deep breath and smiled. Her body stopped shaking and she even decided to make a little joke to help defuse this situation.

Cadence turned her head to look at this bed sheet, behind which the silhouettes of Discord and Raiden were visible, when she felt the hooves of this old, wise stallion touch her wing. "I hope you're not going to rape me? Heh..." Said Cadence in a playful voice, trying to hide her fear behind this mask of a joking princess.

However, I liked this mood, which was very contagious, but I decided to listen carefully to what exactly Discord or Raiden would answer, who at that moment was wetting bandages with some kind of healing potion.

Discord tilted his head to look out from behind this screen and looked at Cadence. "Hmm... I don't even know how to answer this question. But in fact, there is no Applejack among us now, which means that can lie! No! We're not going to rape you!" Discord said in a joking manner and playfully wiggled his eyebrows. "Is it scary being in the company of three males?"

But Cadence's reaction was amazing, which further increased her respect. "Yes! That's what I thought... Because, I have a feeling as if I am at an appointment with a doctor, a gynecologist! This is definitely one of the happiest days in my boring life..." After these joking words, Cadence looked at me again with a flirtatious look. "So you can start, I'm ready, and you, Heart Path, can start your duties as an Anesthesiologist!" Cadence said in a quiet, playful voice, and after that her horn lit up, and I felt my arms begin to hug the neck of this mare.

Our faces were in intimate proximity, from which I began to feel Cadence's rapid breathing on my lips. But I have to admit that it was a little unexpected for me, however, I did not resist and began to gently stroke the neck of this beautiful mare. And I won't lie that at that moment I experienced a lot of warm feelings and sensations. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Discord showing the thumb of his lion paw, hinting that I was doing everything right.

I opened my mouth slightly and studied Cadence's face with a penetrating gaze, shifting my gaze from her lips to her eyes, mane and horn.

But it certainly didn't escape her attention. "Do you like what you see?" Cadence said and flirtatiously blinked her eyelashes.

A drop of sweat rolled off my face, as I began to feel quite a bit of excitement. "Yes... but... I have a feeling that our meeting would necessarily lead to such hasty intimacy. Of course, I don't mind it..." But I didn't have time to finish, as I noticed that Cadence twitched slightly and a painful grimace appeared on her face again.

"Get ready! I'm starting." Raiden said in a serious voice.

"Yes... I... I'm ready..." Said Cadence in a squeaky voice, but she didn't take her eyes off me, and after that she put her hooves on my neck.

"Okay..." Raiden said, and mentally I prepared myself for the fact that something was about to happen that made my heart beat in a rapid rhythm, just like Cadence.

CRUNCH!!!

Time has slowed down...

Cadence's eyes began to widen, and the pupils narrowed to the size of a pinpoint needle. Her mouth started to open, and she was clearly going to scream in pain, right in my face!

I urgently needed to take emergency measures, so I did what I had to do! I pressed my lips to Cadence's lips, and my tongue did not miss its chance and penetrated her slightly open mouth.

I hope she doesn't bite me! Otherwise, it will be my stupidest mistake in recent times! I thought to myself, but when I noticed Cadence's changing gaze, I wanted to laugh right into her mouth!

Time has returned to its course...

Her pupils started to dilate again, but I felt her hug my neck tighter and her tongue gently danced in the circle of my tongue. "Mmmhmm..." Cadence moaned into my mouth and closed her eyes to completely surrender to this pleasant moment, while forgetting about her pain.

I felt her body relax, and her tongue and lips showed me what passion means when you are kissed by the Princess of Love herself. Therefore, I did not pay attention to the grinning Discord and also tried to relax and have fun. Anyway, I felt very useful and a good Anesthesiologist! Heh... After that, I opened my eyes, and my hands began to pass the locks of her mane's hair between my fingers, while gently rubbing Cadence's neck. Three seconds into our kiss, I heard the sound of a magical aura that came from Cadence's horn. But as soon as I wanted to open my eyes, at that moment I saw a strong magical flash, from which I could not see anything but this light!


The world around me has ceased to matter to me. I was immersed in some mysterious phenomenon, but I still felt this loving and passionate kiss with Cadence. It was an extraordinary feeling, and it was magical! I feel real bliss and pleasant warmth from these affectionate touches, while I did not get tired and continued my intimacy with the Princess of Love. And it seems that only at this moment, I could feel the magical power of Love.

Suddenly, images of familiar mares began to appear before my eyes! From the beginning, I saw Celestia, who also lovingly kissed me and hugged me with her hooves, while caressing my back with her wings, completely enclosing my body in the strong embrace of this Majestic mare. Princess Celestia and her angelic appearance, as well as a lot of care about me, this is what struck my heart. I remembered the very moment when I first saw her in the throne room, when I was brought under escort, and shackles hung on my hands. Her mesmerizing gaze, in which you could read a lot... but first of all it is the desire to love and take care of me. Her erotic games, in her private chambers, which eventually turned into making love... in her jacuzzi. Oh... yeah! I really liked this intimacy. And it was Celestia who became my first mare, who erased all my doubts into powder, and very qualitatively demonstrated her skills in sexual terms. She made me perfectly understand and feel that this is not only normal in this society, in this world, but even very good and pleasant for both partners, in these sexual games. And I will not forget her and I will always be grateful for everything! I just have to survive on this island, so that when I meet Celestia, I can prove to her that I love her!

And again the image changed, and now I was standing on a cloud in the night, starry sky, and Luna was hugging me with her hooves and looking at me with her eyelids slightly lowered. Her lips found their purpose, and now I was passionately kissing the Princess of the Night, from which our eyes began to sparkle with magical light, and our breathing quickened. It was Luna who became the first mare for me... the pony I saw back when I was in my world. And this meeting was very mysterious and unforgettable. The Princess of the Night and the ruler of the land of dreams, from the first minutes tried to arrange her friendly and caring attention. And as I said before, it was Princess Luna who became my guiding star in this world. And although we had few such moments, I always felt passion and desire to be different from my sister in her kisses. As far as I could understand, she wanted to give me a chance to get to know her better before moving on to something hotter. And I can understand her. One this thought, brought a lot of forgotten feelings and lifted my mood when I realized that in fact I could love these royal sisters, while doing it at the same time! Hmm... I probably won't miss my chance and take these two beauties at the same time and arrange this magical game on their thrones! Heh... it's going to be fun!

Suddenly, my body was enveloped in fog and the image of Luna disappeared, leaving behind everything, too the night, starry sky. The landscape changed and now I was back in the same guest room, in the Canterlot Palace. I hugged Trixie in a friendly way and felt how nervous this mare was. She was clearly fighting an internal battle in her thoughts, but after that, having gathered her resolve, she looked into my eyes and lightly kissed me, to which I responded in kind. I didn't press her and of course I understood that we had an unusual acquaintance. But it was Trixie who became the first mare I saw in this real world. And of course it was a different feeling and experience, since it was not a dream in which I saw Princess Luna for the first time. I still don't understand how it happened that from the first hours I began to feel warm and caring feelings for her. I wanted to be the one who would protect her and maybe even love and caress and take care of her. Her eyes and acting manner gave her charm. I can safely admit that I like Trixie, and perhaps I could feel in her and her words that I had become a friend for her, whom she would like to take into her heart. Sometimes, I feel awkward, because I left her so suddenly, without having time to move our relationship to a higher level.

Maybe when I can come back, I will definitely devote my time to keep Trixie company and take a walk around the city, and maybe even go with her and my robot on some trip to the cities of Equestria. Anyway, I'm sure the three of us will undoubtedly be able to attract a lot of attention. Although I am sure that many news and newspapers in this world already know about me and my robot.

But it turned out that way. Unexpectedly for all of us. I was far away from these mares and I have to fulfill my mission. This is my fate and I will not argue with it!


After a few seconds, all these visions dissipated and I was able to see the face of a smiling Cadence again. Our kiss had already stopped, but I didn't even notice when it happened! Raiden and Discord were looking at me intently and that made me feel embarrassed.

I looked questioningly at Cadence and I urgently needed answers. "What, just happened?" I asked and felt my cheeks start to turn red, so I quietly removed my hands from Cadence's neck. "Forgive me, Cadence! I think I got a little carried away and..." I assumed an apologetic look in front of the Princess of Love, but did not have time to finish.

Cadence breathed a sigh of relief and carefully studied my face, but stopped her gaze on my eyes, and after that, quietly put her hoof on my mouth, thereby interrupting my apologies. "Are you trying to apologize for kissing me? And besides, it was like I had never experienced such a pleasant kiss, even from my husband. But, in fact, you were able to surprise me with such a bold act, but I was already ready for it, because Luna warned me about your manners. Yes... You didn't ask my permission to kiss me, but I didn't stay in debt! That's why I answered you the same way. I used one of the love spells that allows you to immerse yourself for a short time in your memories of those you love. Besides, before going to this island, Celestia, Luna and Trixie asked me to give you this message! I should have kissed you... although I admit that I really liked it and I wanted it myself!" Cadence said in a low voice, but when she saw the confusion on my face, she was a little sad and shyly pressed her ears to the back of her head.

At this moment, I was still trying to move away from the sudden nirvana and that loving kiss from Cadence, in which she reminded me of the three mares that remained in Equestria. Each of these mares played a role in my fate.

I looked at Cadence with wide eyes and put my fingers to my lips and smiled, after that I stroked the cheek of this mare, trying to instill confidence in her and drive away her sadness. "I think we have already found out everything. But I don't regret kissing you! It was magical and very sensual. I have never experienced this in my life. So that... Aay!" I wiped the spray of water from my face and looked indignantly at Discord and Ryden.

Discord was tired of watching this drama and therefore decided to show his friendly concern. Yes! He splashed magic water into my face and furrowed his eyebrows. "Ahem! Ahem! If you have already finished confessing your love to each other and all that, then I just have to remind you, Heart Path, that this day is not over yet, and there..." Discord pointed his chaotic paw at the door. "There, in the next room, lies Chrysalis, who also needs help!" After that, he looked at Cadence seriously. "And you should cool down your love nature a little! So while Raiden and Heart Path are taking care of Chrysalis, I'll stay with you and bandage your hooves and wing! And don't argue with me! I'm not joking this time..." Discord said in a serious voice, but after that, a satisfied smile appeared on his face when he saw Cadence's shocked face. "Yes, yes... Sometimes I can be caring. After all, I don't think you want to be alone, so I'll keep you company. You don't mind that, do you?"

I slowly got up and walked away from the bed, and at that moment Raiden came up to Cadence. "This time, I completely agree with Discord. He's right. But don't worry, Cadence! Soon we will equip Chrysalis' room, move the bed there and you will spend this night in her company. Our nurses from the infirmary will bring you medicines and dinner. They will also look after you and show you where all the necessary amenities, toilet and so on are located. I'm sorry, Cadence, but we're not in the palace right now, but this shelter is still capable of creating minimal comfortable conditions. Over time, you will get to know everyone and understand our situation much better. But all this will be tomorrow! And today, you are supposed to rest and gain strength. You don't just deserve it, but consider it my medical recommendation." Said Raiden, in a hoarse, instructive voice.

Cadence nodded and looked at us with a kind smile. "Thank you very much for your concern for me! Oh and yeah!" Cadence said in a grateful voice, but when she could remember something important, she quickly looked into my eyes. "I almost forgot about something important to you, Heart Path! Your friend, Night Fog sends you friendly greetings and... where's my bag?" Cadence said in an encouraging voice at first, but after that her ears twitched nervously and she hurried to get on her hooves to look around the room. But it was already noticeable that she was not paying attention to the pain in her hooves. "Did I really lose my saddlebag..." Cadence whispered and sadly bowed her head.

But as soon as Raiden wanted to say something, as it was evident from his indignant face, I immediately hurried to calm everyone down. I went back to Cadence and lifted her chin with my hand, while looking lovingly into her eyes. "Don't worry, Cadence. Your saddlebag is in my room. She's a little burned... as well as your mane, which I had to shorten a little, but I'm sure that the contents of your bag are intact, and your shortened mane still has its beauty." I said in a soothing voice, and I saw a smile appear on Cadence's face again, and her eyes shone with joy.

Cadence breathed a sigh of relief. "You have to check the contents of this bag, it contains what your friend, Night Fog, gave you! There should also have been four potions left (two of them are able to heal light wounds, and the other two are able to restore magical energy)... and Celestia was so caring about me when we were preparing for this teleportation, she even put in a box of dry rations and a flask of water. I think all this can come in handy!" Cadence said in an encouraging voice and coquettishly lowered her eyelids. "Maybe... will you kiss me again? Please..."

But all this information about the contents of the bag cheered me up a little and I began to understand something for myself. Night Fog most likely understood that I would need battery chargers for my equipment! And it makes my life a little easier! Damn it, I definitely have to remember to check Cadence's bag when I finish my business in the infirmary!

But I did not ignore this princess, however, I looked questioningly at Ryden and Discord. The two brothers looked at me and Cadence with understanding, and then exchanged glances with each other, but Raiden was the first, who decided to give an answer to my unasked question.

Raiden looked at me and at Cadence, looking a little tired. "I understand both of you. Well, Heart Path. Discord and I will wait for you in the corridor. But please be patient and don't linger. The same goes for you, Cadence! You also have to be patient, and when your health gets better, the two of you can love each other or make love as much as your heart desires, but all in good time." Raiden said in an instructive but caring voice, and after that a kind smile appeared on his face, and lightning flashed in his eyes, which scared me and Cadence a little!

Discord grinned looking at our reaction and grumbled something, left the room. "It seems that we are all waiting for quite a few surprises in the coming days!"

Raiden slowly approached the door, but after that he stopped and looked again at Cadence, who was still patiently waiting, sitting on this bed and trying to analyze the words said by Discord. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Cadence... although our meeting may not be accidental... but about five hundred years have passed since our last meeting..." Raiden said in a quiet, mysterious voice, and after casting his serious look at me for the last time, without waiting for Cadence's reaction to such mysterious words, he hurried out of this room and closed the door.

Cadence assumed a thoughtful look with wide eyes and slightly tilted her head, but I understood her confusion and therefore did not stay away. I quietly approached her and put my hand on her shoulders.

But Cadence shook her head slightly and looked into my eyes. "What did he mean? Five hundred years ago... and all this time he knows me?"

I took a deep breath through my nostrils and decided to give her a short answer: "Yes, it is. But I swear I don't know all the details. Raiden is still mysterious, as is Discord. I think when the time comes, you'll figure it out for yourself. Like many of us, this is not the first time Raiden has lived on this planet, living his next reincarnation. Soon you, like me, will learn many secrets, and now ..." I smiled and slightly bent down to be on a level with the face of the princess. "I shouldn't be late, but I don't want to rush either. However, I want to repeat it and this time I will be more honest with you."

Cadence put aside all gloomy thoughts and tilted her head slightly to the side, smiling. "That's exactly what I was counting on. To say the least!" After these words, Cadence lowered her gaze to look at my hand, with which I was hugging her shoulder. "Just yesterday, I felt like I was going on a romantic date. As stupid as it may sound, but deep down I feel that I should be grateful to you, Heart Path. This is something that I unfortunately cannot explain. As if your soul is somehow connected with my fate... And I won't lie, I was madly longing for this meeting with you, as if I had been in the desert for several days and all I wanted was a glass of water! And I don't care that in these few days, you've already been able to get close to many other mares!" Cadence said in a low, sincere voice and looked expectantly into my eyes, trying to understand my reaction to her words.

But I already know the truth and I perfectly understand what Cadence is talking about. Hugging her neck with both hands, I brought my face close to her lips, which is why I felt the breath of her nostrils blowing my nose. "Here, I agree with you, Cadence. I have such feelings too... However, I appreciate your sincerity. When I first saw you in the photos, I experienced a mixture of pleasant feelings and secret desires. But now you're here, next to me and I thank heaven that you were able to survive in this Tartarus and now I'm standing next to you, having a nice conversation and caressing your neck with my hands... ah... But now let's not waste time, otherwise if I stay with you for another five minutes, you will see the fire in my eyes, and that same fiery passion will push me to forget about everything except you!" And after these words, Cadence and I understood this hint, which is why our lips simultaneously joined in a light, loving kiss.

We kept our eyes on each other and Cadence raised her hooves and hugged me around the neck, decided to show a little pressure. Mischievous sparkles appeared in her eyes, and her tongue began to penetrate my mouth, and her hooves caressed my shoulders. The rhythm of the heart accelerated, as did our breathing.

"MMHHM..." Cadence moaned and her eyes widened when she felt that my hands began to smoothly descend to her waist, but she didn't want to end this closeness and this sweet kiss so quickly, as if I could fulfill her dream or something like that.

The taste of her kiss may be incomparable, but mentally I gave it a name. Amore Psyche! Why is this the case? The answer is simple: The Princess of Love perfectly demonstrates her essence and talent. In her intimate touch, her kiss, it feels like she invests a lot of pleasant loving feelings and playful passion! Thus, she leaves no doubt that her partner dreams of falling in love with this princess! And the fact that this mare is married and at the same time is the ruler of the Crystal Empire, left all these worries, put on her armor and took some strange Magical Battle Bow, realizing that dangers would be waiting for her, went to this island!

Note from the author:

The myth says that one king had three beautiful daughters, of whom the youngest was the most beautiful — Psyche. The fame of her beauty spread all over the earth, and many came to the city where Psyche lived to admire her. They even began to pay divine honors to her, forgetting Aphrodite. The latter was offended and decided to ruin the girl. Calling her son Eros, she showed him the beauty and told him to instill in her love for the most outcast, ugly and pitiful of people. Meanwhile, Psyche felt very unhappy because everyone admired her as a soulless beauty and no one was looking for her hand.

In grief, her father turned to the oracle of Miletus, and god replied that Psyche, dressed in funeral clothes, should be taken to the rock for marriage with a terrible monster. Fulfilling the will of the oracle, the unfortunate father brought Psyche to the specified place and left her alone; suddenly a breath of wind carried her to a wonderful palace inhabited by invisible spirits, and she became the wife of an invisible being who visited her only at night. The blissful life of Psyche, however, did not last long: the envious sisters, having learned about her well—being, decided to notify her and by cunning achieved that Psyche broke the promise given to her husband - not to find out who he was. The sisters whispered that her husband was a monster, and convinced her that she, armed with a sword and a lamp, would lie in wait for him while sleeping and kill him.

After waiting for the night, Psyche lit a lamp and began to examine her husband, who turned out to be a beautiful Erot; while she, struck by the beauty of his face, admired the sleeper, a hot drop of oil fell from the lamp on the shoulder of God, and he woke up from the pain. Offended by his wife's treachery, he flew away, and Psyche, abandoned, went to look for her lover on earth. For a long time Psyche walked all over the lands until she was forced to bow before the mother of Eros - Aphrodite, who had been looking for a chance to take revenge on Psyche for a long time and had already sent Hermes to look for her. At this time, Erot, who was ill from a burn, was lying with his mother.

Finding herself under the same roof with her husband, but separated from him, Psyche had to endure all kinds of persecution of Aphrodite, who, wishing her death, came up with various impossible jobs. So, Psyche had to sort out a huge pile of mixed grain by grain and by birth, get the golden fleece from rabid sheep, get water from the Styx and bring it from Persephone (Proserpine) from the underworld a box of wonderful ointments. Thanks to someone else's help, Psyche did everything Aphrodite told her to do until Eros finally recovered. Then he turned to the assistance of the supreme Olympian god and with his help obtained the consent of the celestials to marry Psyche, who received immortality from Zeus and was attached to the host of gods. The envious sisters of Psyche were punished for their envy and treachery by crashing against a cliff, jumping from it in the hope that Zephyr would take them to the magical palace of Eros. Volupia, the goddess personifying pleasure, was born from the marriage of Psyche with Eros.

And now that Cadence has passed all these tests of her spirit and body, we kiss and hug each other, completely surrendering to these pleasant feelings. It was a welcome and worthy reward for me and Cadence. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep well after this! Damn it!

"Mmmhaa ah... ah..." Moaned Cadence and looked at me mesmerizingly when our kiss ended. She gently touched her forehead to my forehead and narrowed her eyes, continued to smile. "Thank you very much, Heart Path. Today you were a good Anesthesiologist and the one who quenched my thirst and curiosity... But I'm sure you liked it too! Mmm?" Cadence said and flirtatiously blinked her eyelashes.

I grinned inwardly and stroked Cadence's mane. "I really liked it. Your kisses are just magical, and I can only guess what you can be capable of in hotter games." I said in a low voice and as the end of our intimacy, this evening, I lightly kissed her on the lips and released her from my embrace.

But Cadence was happy and sympathetic to me. "Now go and take care of Chrysalis! And I can assume that not only Chrysalis is waiting for your attention. In this, you and I are like two kindred spirits! I am also ready to divide my heart into thousands of pieces like a sweet dessert and selflessly shares my love." Said Cadence, keeping a happy smile on her face, after that she looked at the bedside table on which her armor and weapons lay.

Her horn lit up, and a quiver of arrows floated up to her in a magical aura. I carefully watched her actions and tried to understand the intent of this princess.

Cadence didn't take long to wait. "Take this arrow as a gift from me!" Cadence said and gave a magic arrow from her quiver.

The arrowheads of this arrow were heart-shaped, but were clearly sharp and dangerous, and the plumage at the other end of the arrow was a delicate blue color. Pink, magical energy was flowing through the arrow itself.

When I took this arrow in my hand, I wasn't surprised. "Heh... Thank you, Cadence! This is exactly the kind of weapon the Princess of Love should have!" I said and looked gratefully at Cadence.

Cadence nodded slightly, but decided to give me useful information. "This is an unusual arrow. She does not cause harm, but on the contrary, her goal is to help, to understand to a hopeless heart that love has not cooled down and is able to bring spiritual happiness." After these words, she furrowed her brows. "But for demons and undead, such arrows are deadly weapons. One hit and the demon explodes or burns up, leaving behind a pile of ashes." Cadence sighed sadly, remembering everything that had happened to her that day. "I was almost raped by a Nightmare Horse, and when I pierced his neck with this arrow... well, in general, you understand me and what I had to go through. So I want to thank you again. You've given me some peace of mind."

Of course her words made me worry, but I understood that my time was running out and I was already late. I looked at Cadence seriously. "I think we'll talk about it again, if of course you're ready to tell us all these details. And now I have to go." I said and smiled again, after that I headed for the door, holding the handle of my gladius, which was hanging on my belt.

But when I stretched out my hand to this door, a pillow crashed into my back! I turned around and saw the grinning princess, who again lifted this pillow with the help of magic. "Well, why did you do that?" I asked, shifting my gaze from the pillow to Cadence's sly gaze. But I felt that she was plotting some kind of game, it was noticeable in her eyes.

"I have a feeling that this pillow may be useful to you when you go to the Chrysalis room. Besides, I'm not going to stay in this room for long and will join her soon. Maybe you should stay with us tonight? And I will definitely tell you and show you a lot, unless of course Chrysalis will not mind." Cadence said in a playful voice and winked with one eye, after that I noticed how her tail darted to the side, as if hinting at something serious to me, but still supporting the joke in this conversation.

I snatched this pillow from the magical aura and pressed it to my chest and winked at this princess. "I'll think about your offer. Now I'm sorry." I said with a smile on my face and hurried out of this room before Cadence started another game.

When I went out into the corridor, I hurried to lean my back against the wall and take a deep breath, while looking at the rocky ceiling. Discord and Raiden were not far away in this corridor and were talking about something. Several Kirins passed by me and waved their hooves in greeting, to which I responded in kind. But it didn't escape my attention as one of the stallions looked at me with a raised eyebrow, shifting his gaze from my eyes to this pillow in my hand.

"Heh! Yes, I know I look stupid!" I answered the unasked question, but out of the corner of my eye I noticed how Raiden and Discord slowly approached me.

"Why the hell did you bring a pillow with you?" Raiden asked, while Discord seemed to be starting to understand something.

Discord decided to distract his brother's attention, thereby saving me from stupid explanations. "I think that's not the main thing right now! Besides, we're going to move Cadence to the room where Chrysalis is lying, so everything's fine. And now go and take care of this mare..." Discord was speaking, but just at that moment Autumn ran out from around a bend in one of the cave corridors, holding three vials in her magical aura.

But Autumn made an apologetic face and scratched her head. "I'm sorry, Dad! But you know that the process of creating these medicines takes some time. And now only three painkilling potions are ready! Sienna has stayed in the room with the magic spring and is working hard to prepare them." Autumn answered in a calm voice, but after that she looked at me expectantly. "Well, how are our mares? Is there any news?" Autumn asked in an excited voice.

I put a satisfied smile on my face. "Well, so far I'm sure that everything will be fine with Cadence and she's already conscious! I'll even say more! I have a feeling that she doesn't need these painkillers." I said in a calm voice and tucked the gift from Cadence into my belt, provided that this arrow doesn't stick into my leg!

Discord, Autumn and Raiden were closely watching my movements and everyone had different emotions on their faces. But only Discord, as always, decided to make a joke. "Yes! Yes!" Discord hugged me by the shoulder with his paw and started scratching my head with the other paw, from which I just rolled my eyes, but did not react to such joking behavior of my friend. "Today we have seen that Heart Path can be a good assistant during the provision of medical care. He's a good Anesthesiologist..." Discord continued joking.

Autumn raised an eyebrow and looked intently at my face. "Oh, really? And by what method did you apply anesthesia?"

And then I began to understand something, but now is clearly not the right time and place for my revelations. I blushed and pulled a smile on my face, and it did not escape the attention of Raiden and Discord. But it was Raiden who decided to save my idiotic situation.

"I'm sorry, Autumn. But now is not the time for such conversations. You and Discord, go to Cadence's room and give her one bottle of pain medication to drink! Because Heart Path is too self-confident in his conclusions, and Cadence is just trying to seem like a strong mare, and hides his pain! Although I have to admit that Heart Path still managed to distract Cadence a little from her suffering." After these admonitory words, he pointed with his hoof at the door and looked at Discord. "Well, you already know what to do. I've already soaked all the bandages with medicine, you just have to move the wounds on Cadence's body." Then he looked at me, with a calm expression on his face. "Come with me. I will show you what you need to do, and you will also need to wipe Chrysalis' body with this magic water. I'm sure it should help her replenish her energy."

That's what we did. Discord and Autumn stayed with Cadence and I do not know what was going on in her room. But I'm sure Cadence had a curious conversation with Autumn and they got to know each other better. Discord, a little later, brought buckets of magic water to Chrysalis' room and went to the communal kitchen. Of course, I was able to agree with Raiden that a little later, I would like to join them and stay at least a little in the men's company, and of course drink rice vodka.

I put this pillow on the bed next to Chrysalis' head, and saw her disheveled mane and dirty body in places, on which there were many abrasions, I could not help feeling regret. I was ashamed. This mare also needed me to take care of her, and I am at this moment... I got into a love game with another mare... Cadence!

I sighed sadly and noticed how Raiden was looking at me, while his horn lit up and he began to give some kind of healing ointment from a glass jar standing on the table. "What's wrong with you, Heart Path? You don't have to be sad, because I'm sure everything will be fine with your mare! And now wipe her chest with this water, wait one minute and wipe it with a dry cloth. After that, I will smear her breasts with this ointment, and at this moment you can wipe her body from dirt. And of course I will help you. When you finish wiping one side, I'll turn her over with my magic and you'll start wiping the other side. Just be careful. Judge by her breathing and magical background, she will soon regain consciousness." Raiden said in a soothing voice and walked over to the bed.

Raiden's words cheered me up and I smiled a little, after which I soaked a towel in magic water and gently pushed the front hooves of Chrysalis. But when I heard the painful fluttering of Chrysalis, my heart skipped a beat and I looked at Raiden in fright.

Raiden shook his head slightly, but decided to calm me down. "That's why I'm telling you to be careful. Yes, she is in a magical blackout right now, but even though a little, she can still feel pain. And here your skills as an Anesthesiologist, which you demonstrated with Cadence, will not help! However, if Chrysalis comes to her senses, it will only be good! Because I'll need to ask Chrysalis about her general well-being. Okay, get started, there won't be any delay, I have a lot of things to do this evening."

"You're right, Raiden!" I said, and went about my duties according to our plan. And while I was wiping Chrysalis' body, I couldn't help but look at her face.

I carefully removed part of the mane from Chrysalis' face and thought for a while while Raiden smeared her breasts with healing ointment. However, a serious question was spinning in my head. I would even say that there were a lot of these questions.

I decided to get my friend's attention. "Raiden?"

"What?" He replied in a calm voice and continued to apply layer of ointment.

"Tell me, why are Chrysalis and Cadence unconscious for so long? Especially Chrysalis! It seems to me that this is not quite normal, although I still don't understand a lot." I asked Ryden and continued to gently wipe the dirty areas of Chrysalis' body, especially all the bloody abrasions. And it was seen how this magic water begins to act. First, a blue foam appears, and after that the moisture evaporates and the skin begins to recover gradually in the place where the abrasion was.

"Hmm... you asked the right question. The thing is that our bodies, like the whole essence, are imbued with magical energy, which plays an important role in the life of every living organism. In this case, when Cadence and Chrysalis received injuries that could become life-threatening, the body worked in an emergency. The immune system turned off the consciousness of these mares, so that the body could direct all its forces to the regeneration and conservation of energy. But in the case of Cadence and Chrysalis, there is a individual feature!" Raiden spoke in a serious voice, but after that he looked at me shrewdly, attracting my attention. "Chrysalis and Cadence received immortality as a sign of their destiny. Such a phenomenon can only be subject to Keepers of the world. It is they who choose who to give immortality to, but most often such a great gift is received by the leaders, or rulers. Or such as Discord and Rain Shine. And in this case, this immortality makes it possible not to grow old and get sick less. Or in this case it is a stronger regeneration. I hope I gave you useful information?"

"Yes. Thank you, Raiden. Now a lot of things have become more understandable and meaningful for me."

"If you have any more questions, I will try to answer them. But I suggest you to be patient a little. When Chrysalis regains consciousness, we will make sure that everything is in order and move the bed to her room. We'll leave Chrysalis and Cadence for one night. If anything, the nurses from the infirmary will take care of them. Well, me, Discord and you..." Raiden smiled and winked conspiratorially. "We will spend some time in the men's company, have dinner and drink rice vodka. And no mares, at least a couple of hours! Honestly, I'm so tired of them, and I'm sure you want a little break from their company too! Otherwise, I'm sure all these mares, which are getting bigger, I mean Chrysalis and Cadence, they'll just suck all the vital energy out of you and then you'll understand what I'm talking about!" Raiden said, and with the help of magic, he turned Chrysalis' body over so that I could start caring for her other side.

I just nodded with understanding, and felt a surge of invigorating energy and mood, from the anticipation of an interesting adventure in the men's company. "To be honest, I agree with you! But most likely, I really won't be able to stay for long, because... erm..." I wrinkled my forehead and scratched my stubbly cheek when I discovered something important. "Damn it!"

"What's the matter?" Raiden asked, but then rolled his eyes and waved his hoof. "Oh yeah. I've already figured out what the reason is! But, don't worry, I'll talk to Autumn and Sienna! I'm sure they should understand us and show a little patience. You will return to your mares a little later. Although, it's up to you to decide. In general, you stay with Chrysalis for now, and I'm going to Cadence's room. I'll be back a little later." Raiden said and headed for the door.

"Wait, Raiden! It's not that simple... Fern Leaf invited us to dinner and of course I did not refuse. After all, she is a good mare, and today I was able to make sure of her skills when we met several demons in the forest. In general, the whole evening is still ahead, and I have so much to do... but... but I would also like to be in a man's company! So I've made up my mind, but I'll talk to Autumn and Sienna myself."

Raiden turned his head and looked at me with understanding. "Agreed! Good luck to you! In the end, you have to remember that the more mares you have and a serious, romantic relationship with them, the more you take responsibility on your shoulders! So please, Heart Path, don't be frivolous."

I made a confident face and smiled. "Hmm... of course you're right, Raiden, but I'm sure I can handle such a worthy test of my spirit and body! After all, I enjoy the company of these mares and get a lot of pleasure from it!"

"I have no doubt about it. Especially when you have to give pleasure to three mares at once! By the way, you just have to share with me your experience about how your night went in the company of my daughter, Sienna and Chrysalis! No matter how old I am, I'm still a stud, and it will certainly be interesting for me to listen to your stories about love affairs." Raiden said and grinned, walked out of this room.

Well, I looked carefully at Chrysalis' body again and moistened the towel with magic water. So I finished caring for one of my favorite mares. But time passed, and Chrysalis never regained consciousness, so I began to worry. I took a chair and pulled it up to the bed, sat down on it to watch my mare breathe. I started stroking her neck, only gently touching her body with my palm, but suddenly I was attacked by thoughts that caused a lot of shock and my heart ached again from these experiences.

I bowed my head and closed my eyes. "What if we hadn't had time to find both of you? Perhaps I would have lost the meaning of my life and fallen into a long depression. I wouldn't have forgiven myself and... and maybe despair would have taken over my mind." I whispered, but I couldn't get rid of these thoughts quickly, as if someone was trying to suppress my spirit and cause pain in my heart and psyche.

After a few seconds, two tears rolled down from my eyes, and my hands began to tremble again from memories and images of demons and that very Golem Inferno, again caused fear.

We could have died... this will not be forgotten in a lifetime. I need to get more information from Raiden to try to end this madness as soon as possible, and not to have fun with mares! Although... I'm wrong. They, like me, we all have the right to find at least a little time to love and comfort each other. Perhaps this is the main reason why despair recedes to the side, and a Loving Heart is filled with Hope.


Present time.

I'm sorry, but I really liked this music track, which partially inspires me. But it is this track that is associated with the stroking of each mare in this part of the plot. It was these tracks that moved my story further! (a little revelation from the author).

"Next, you woke up, and now I'm lying with you, caressing your hooves and waiting for your reaction." I said in a quiet, calm voice.

I finished my revelation, and sighed calmly. But while I was telling my story, lying on the bed with Chrysalis, I was so deep in my memories that I didn't even notice how there was already another bed in this room against the next rocky wall. The responsible, kirin stallion brought this bed with the help of his telekinesis magic, and wishing us good night, went about his business. All this time Chrysalis was lying next to me and calmly listened to my revelation.

Chrysalis quietly raised herself up so that she could look into my eyes, and her mane began to tickle my face pleasantly. But I didn't leave her without another loving caress, so my palm stroked her cheek. But the expression on Chrysalis' face was a little exciting, which could not but cause me a lot of mental questions. And it looks like she noticed it. Therefore, she put her hoof on my chest, just so as not to put pressure on me, namely to respond in the same affectionate manner.

Chrysalis made a sly look, began to bring her face closer, so that only a couple of inches remained between our lips, but she was in no hurry to do what we both like. "So while I was out, you were able to meet Cadence and kiss her at the same time! I already realized that you liked it, so you don't have to answer." Chrysalis said in a low voice and her eyelids drooped slightly.

A small feeling of shame and embarrassment, but also fear overtook me completely. "You're not going to make a scene of jealousy? Because I don't want to hurt you." I said in an apologetic voice, and removing my palm from her cheek, I began stroking her hoof, all the while not taking my eyes off her.

But instead of answering, Chrysalis surprised me to put it mildly! She rolled her eyes and laughed in the manner of an overbearing queen. "Ha ha ha ha!" After that laugh, she looked piercingly into my eyes. "You don't think I'm a fool, do you, Heart Path? I understood and fully expected that this would happen when you told us in the morning that Cadence would appear on this island! I really tasted the Princess of Love on your lips when you kissed me. This taste is very sweet, pleasant. But you don't have to worry about it. Besides, as far as I understand, we have a completely free relationship. So, you shouldn't even think about Jealousy either, because I'm not jealous... When I want to get variety, and just like you, I will go on my evening adventure through this shelter and get acquainted with several stallions who, like YOU, will also see charm in my true appearance! And then, you know perfectly well what exactly is going to happen! I will show these stallions my royal experience in love pleasures! Remember this, Heart Path! I'm not jealous! And you're not jealous either!" Chrysalis said in a loud and almost threatening voice, all the while looking at me as if I was just another love victory for her! Another one stallion, or, in this case, I, a man who submitted to her greatness and charm...

But when Chrysalis said those words to me... I won't lie, my heart was getting hurt and the whole world in my mind turned upside down. No, I certainly foresaw that this was possible, and I'm definitely not jealous. But her words sounded like she was going to take revenge on me! And it hurts my heart precisely because Chrysalis has the right to do so.

I took my hand off her hoof, and I couldn't look into her eyes anymore. Otherwise, it seems to me that now she will just burn a hole in my skull. I tried not to show her my true feelings, but I forget who I'm dealing with. She, the Changeling Queen, who is able to read me like a book and if she wants, she will suck the energy of love out of me. After that, I will look at this world as a dry leaf.

I started to get a little nervous and a drop of sweat rolled off my forehead, but Chrysalis continued to torment me with her gaze. However, when she sensed my mood, she wrapped her hoof around my hand and put her chin on my chest, and only after that I looked into her eyes again. "But even if it happens, I won't be able to forget you in this erotic moment... Although I am sure that none of these stallions is able to convey so much passion and affection. Your loving hugs and touches are something that is hard to replace. I'm sorry if I scared you, but I would like to understand your reaction to my words." Chrysalis spoke in a low voice, and looked at me with loving eyes.

But I sighed and tried to smile, driving away all the bad thoughts. "I have nothing to forgive you for, Chrissy. In fact, you're completely right. You are not my property, just as I am not yours. Therefore, you can be free in your choice and in your games. And I will still love you! But let's not talk to each other like in an hour we won't see each other for a long time. I'm not going to run away from this shelter. And if it pleases you, then I know at least two stallions who decided to show interest in you. It happened yesterday when I met Sienna!"

Chrysalis stretched out her hooves in front of her, and there was a lot of curiosity and interest in her eyes. "Really? And you're not jealous?" Chrysalis asked, but she already knew the answer, reading my emotions.

I raised my eyebrows and grinned. "Why should I be jealous? I even like this idea! And I feel that tomorrow I will find these stallions and introduce them to you! yes! I have lived in this world for almost a week, but I managed to understand something!" I gently stroked her cheek. "You are an amazing mare that I love!" I whispered and couldn't resist another kiss. I touched the queen's lips, but she also showed herself... For her, feelings of Love are a dessert. And I had these feelings for her... and her saliva on my chin indicates that our feelings are mutual!

Chrysalis pulled her face into intimacy. "Stop, Stop, Stop! You........ Heart Path.... won't you show your jealousy when you see me with a stallion?" Chrissy whispered, and she looked into my eyes as if she was trying to understand me and my soul..

But I've already made my decision. "No. You totally deserve freedom! You are the Queen and I love you, just the way you are!" I whispered, inhaling the Queen's scent.

It's been about twenty minutes.

I continued my gentle caresses to my beloved queen. But now, I know the truth! The truth that must be kept. Chrysalis and Cadence are sisters! And now I am........ I am capable of loving them both.

It must be hard because, my heart... My heart hurts every time! But... I am still able to divide my heart... into many parts.

However, our romantic date didn't last long. And all because our friends came.

I wanted to get out of bed, but Chrysalis... It's Chrysalis! She pressed my chest with her hoof, leaving me no chance of further movement. I have to admit that Chrissy is a strong mare. And I am still very impressed by her heroism... Chrissy coped with this task and found the Princess of Love! However, I feel that all this is not for nothing.

Raiden and Autumn were watching us with interest.

"Forgive me, Chrysalis, for distracting you from this romantic moment with our friend! How are you feeling?" Raiden said as he walked into this room and looked at me with a slight smirk.

"Oh... Everything is wonderful! Raiden. Now, as far as I understand, I'm on bed rest? I just love "Bed rest"!" Chrysalis said and then stroked my chest with her hoof.

Raiden chuckled softly and shook his head, but Autumn couldn't contain her joy and ran to the bed. "Chrysalis! I'm so glad you're getting better!..." Yes... I'm glad too, and that's why I decided to take the opportunity to get out of this bed unnoticed. I wouldn't want to be held captive by my Chrissy.

"AAY!" I turned my head when I was almost able to escape from this bed, but one Queen had other plans. Chrysalis used magic and a green aura enveloped my body. "Please... let me go! I swear, I won't give you penalty points for the next day... but..."

Raiden cleared his throat and decided to draw attention to himself. "I'm really glad that you're in a good mood for these games and all that, but right now, I'd like to know about your health, Chrysalis. But after that, I will still steal this man from you..." When Raiden said these words, Chrysalis' face looked like skepticism. And I can understand her, especially when the old stallion says these words in a playful tone!

Chrysalis released me from her magical aura, and after that she looked questioningly at Raiden. Although Autumn did the same thing. Therefore, I decided to take this situation into my own hands, so that the father of my mare would not have to take on a lot of responsibility.

"Girls...". I got down on one knee and put my arm around Autumn's neck, which she didn't mind. "Me and Raiden... Discord. In general, I don't want to delay my speech! We want to spend some time in the company of men!" But when I said my last words, Autumn broke out of my arms!

Autumn looked at me with eyes in which I saw Fire! "You..." Heh... No, I didn't let her say those words.

"Mmm..." Autumn moaned into my mouth when I pressed my lips to hers! But Autumn is a good mare, so she put her hoof around my neck and took part in my "Crazy Game".

Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Raiden make an impenetrable face and start scratching his chin. "It's hard to believe... but fate plays such jokes with us! For the first time I see my daughter being kissed with such passion! And it's not the Kirin stallion doing this!" said Raiden and turned his gaze to Chrysalis.

Chrysalis made a pleased face when she saw my passionate kiss with Autumn, because she understands these feelings and emotions perfectly. However, she did not leave Ryden without an answer.

Chrysalis smiled and looked at Ryden. "I thank you, Raiden, for your caring attitude..." But Raiden surprised everyone in this room by not letting Chrysalis finish her speech.

Raiden smiled good-naturedly and looked at Chrysalis with a loving look and put his hoof to her mouth! Yes... Yes! By this time, I was already gulping air greedily, just like Autumn and looking into Raiden's eyes, while my hands caressed her dragon back.

Chrysalis looked at Raiden in surprise, but it was she who decided to express her opinion on this matter. But before that, she made a sly smile and looked at me out of the corner of her eye. "Raiden, you're an amazing stud! And I am proud that it is I, Queen Chrysalis, who is familiar with you. I know your truth, but I've already had a question........" Chrysalis paused for a long moment, but then her eyes narrowed. "Do the other Kirins know that you are... Are you their father, the founder of this species? I'm asking about this, in case I have to communicate with the Kirins!" Chrysalis said and put a hoof under her chin and looked at Raiden carefully.

I stood up to my full height and Autumn also looked at her father. "Here I completely agree with Chrysalis. This information will be useful." I said in a calm voice and put my hands on my waist.

Raiden nervously shook his head, and began to walk around this room, but still gave his answer: "Only Rain Shine and a few more Kirins know this truth... Now you know about it, too." Said Raiden, squatted down, and began to carefully transfer his gaze to each of us. "I ask you not to spread this information. Some gossip is already circulating among our mares... It all started a few months ago, but I don't need this fame." After these words, Raiden sadly lowered his head. "Whatever I want... It has already happened in many of my lives... This is not an intermittent cycle of rebirth. I'm tired... But!" Raiden walked over to the bed and put his hoof on the neck of the surprised Chrysalis. "I swear, this is the best Day of my next life!"

"Mmmhm..." Chrysalis moaned and closed her eyes, also put her hoof on Raiden's neck!

"Autumn?!"

"What?"

"Do you see it too?" I asked, still being very impressed by what I saw.

"Yes! Chrysalis is kissing my father! I swear, I'm proud of the fact too..."

Chrysalis pulled Raiden by the neck and their kiss became even stronger. "Mmhm..." But she played by her own rules.

However, I listened to the voice of my heart! Yes! I nodded to Chrysalis and gave her a thumbs up. "Chrissy, you, or rather your ass, will have a complete nightmare! I promise!" I said in a playful, serious voice.

Chrysalis broke away from a kiss with Raiden, who at that moment stood in shock looking at us, rubbing his lips with a hoof!

Chrysalis smiled and looked at me skeptically. "You made so many promises! Let's start with the throne of Celestia! You love making these promises. And I already know, for your sexual threats to three Kirin mares. Yes! Yes! So You won't go far!" Chrysalis made inquisitive eyes. "You're not a stud... But I feel this energy in you!"

"Yes, I am not that stallion! But... I can be the one who loves you..." I said, and thoughtfully lowered my gaze to Chrysalis' neck.

Our conversation ended very calmly, unlike your expectations! I managed to convince my mares that I want to be free today. Chrysalis and Autumn just rolled their eyes ridiculously at what Raiden said! Anyway, he decided that he had to prove himself and stand up for me. Therefore, it was his explanation that played a role.

"So, Cadence will be brought to you now! You won't be alone tonight..." But after those playful words, Raiden looked at me. "You! Heart Path!"

I adjusted my belt and checked Cadence's gift, which was still in my belt, and it didn't escape Chrysalis' attention. But I didn't ignore my friend, Ryden. "What? I'm ready to go and kick a couple of demonic asses if necessary! Huh..." I said with a grin in my voice.

Raiden grinned and looked at Chrysalis with a sly face. "So, now they will bring you a Cadence! So try to behave well and not spread the energy of love and passion on a large scale! I don't want to brew a calming potion for several dozen mares later! Heh... Although I feel it will be fun." But after these playful words, Raiden looked at me. "Well, let's go drink Rice vodka?"

But when Raiden said these words, Chrysalis pushed me with her hind leg and looked seriously into my eyes... "I'm going to lie here, in the company of Cadence, while you drink Rice Vodka?!" Chrysalis said indignantly and pouted her lips. "Stallions are all the same!"

I don't think I should explain the whole process of our conversation with these mares. Yes! Our word, or rather My Word, and Raiden's word, still has its weight and meaning! That's why we were able to convince Chrysalis and Autumn that in our... an event in a men's company is normal! However, I still haven't forgotten that I have a lot of things ahead of me. I promised to take part in a dinner with Fern Leaf. But then, most likely, a night with three mares awaits me again. So I will be fair if this time I pay more attention to Sienna.


Twenty minutes later.

Raiden, Discord, and I were sitting in the communal kitchen of this shelter. Sometimes, kirins came here and, without paying much attention to us, cooked food. What, they don't have a rich menu! And I've already noticed it! However, right now I don't want to take too many heavy thoughts into my head. Right now, it's just me, my friends and rice vodka!

Yes, we sat and drank a little and joked, but even Raiden understood that our conversation should lead to something serious. Although Discord was rocking on his chair all the time with a bored expression on his face. However, his self-confidence was contagious and gave a lot of hope.

I quietly banged my fist on the table, and looked seriously into Raiden's eyes. "And now that we finally have some time to discuss it... I want to know what is going on in this world, and most importantly, how to eliminate this threat! By the way, did you see those stone bastards who fell from the sky!? I can't even imagine how to fight such a monster! And for some reason, I am sure that your favorite magic will not work on the Golem Inferno." I said, and crossed my arms over my chest, constantly shifting my gaze from Ryden to Discord.

"Heh! Because I'm the one who needs to deal with these "Stone Bastards", but right now, I don't have a lot of magical energy." Discord said and looked at me with serious eyes. "You and Chrysalis need to help me. Therefore, tomorrow, if we don't have any more surprises, I plan to go to the ruins of the old city, Kirinopol. You and Chrysalis, keep me company."

But just as Raiden was about to give his answer, the door to this kitchen opened and Rain Shine came in, and this confused Raiden a little. "Yes! I heard everything!" Said Rain Shine and walked around this table, after which she pulled out a saddle cushion and hurried to sit down. We looked questioningly at this mare, although I noticed out of the corner of my eye how Ryden's horn made a magical crackling sound similar to electricity.

Raiden stared at Rain Shine's inscrutable face. "Actually, we have a male company here, and we wanted to take a little break from the attention of many mares, and discuss important topics..." Raiden spoke in a serious voice, while Discord grinned when he saw my appraising look at this mare. And I won't hide the fact that I have some, sexual fantasies with Rain Shine.

"Wait, Raiden! I think that in our company, there will not be an extra presence from one charming mare!" I said and put my hand under my chin and began to carefully study the face of Rain Shine.

Of course, she was flattered by my attention, and these words, from which she began to smile sweetly, but Raiden looked at me with a nervously twitching eye. "Heart Path! I swear you will have huge problems in the near future! You're trying to flirt with another mare again! In the end..." Raiden smiled slyly, and waited for Discord to drink his portion of Rice Vodka again. "In the end, leave at least one mare for Discord! Heh!" These words forced each of us to show our own personal reaction.

Discord spat out all the vodka in Ryden's face, and made a frowning face, and even a few drops fell on me, but our mare managed to jump aside in time. I was a little indignant, as was Rein Schine, at the same time Raiden laughed softly and wiped his face.

"What the hell?" I asked, confused by such words from this old stallion.

Raiden stopped laughing and made a serious face, not taking his eyes off Discord. "It seems this story is repeating itself again! But I apologize to all of you for my senile humor. I can't help thinking that it's all funny!" Raiden said in a hoarse voice.

Discord crossed his chaotic paws over his chest, keeping a frown on his face, and turned away. "Yes... yes... I already realized that you, the old fart, decided to hurt me for my feelings. But your apology is accepted." After these words, Discord turned around again and looked at us.

Rain came back to the table and looked at me a little embarrassed, but I could see interest in her eyes. That's just she didn't say anything, and apparently began to think about something. But after we calmed down a bit, and I was thinking about Raiden's words, and I couldn't help but grin at the realization of my situation. I am in a company with a lot of mares!

I took a deep breath, and put my palm to my forehead. "If we have already finished with these jokes, then I suggest that we continue our serious conversation! Otherwise, I understand perfectly well that we have a whole bunch of problems that need to be sorted out." I said in a calm voice, and carefully looked at all those present. However, I imperceptibly winked at our mare.

Raiden sighed sadly and rested his chin on the edge of the table. "You're right, Heart Path. I'll tell you everything briefly, but from the very beginning. Our world is only one of many, but every world, planet that has life, has several Keepers of the world, and you already know a little about it. But their goal is not to directly protect this world, but to help us learn how to resist a possible threat ourselves. No, they don't have that much power, since they are not a higher power. They are the link between us and the Creator of the entire universe. Trying to understand all these subtleties is difficult even for me. Demons who have a role to play for each world. They are designed to create fear in front of all living beings. It is the feeling of fear that makes us all turn our attention to the Creator, and try to understand the value of our existence. And sometimes... the emperor of these very demons, manages to poke another world! But here we are... such like me and Discord were among those who were chosen to play their role! We must resist this invasion! It all sounds unusual, and it may show you that there is some kind of stupidity in this whole plan! And I swear, I'll kind of agree with you! However, even in this stupidity there is a deep plan of higher forces. We justly bear our sufferings and trials in order to receive our reward in the end."

After these words, Raiden looked at me seriously. "Even you and Chrysalis will be able to receive your reward, provided that you cope with your trials. We need to ensure victory over the army of demons and drive them out of this world! Yes, I will answer your unasked question! This island was raised from the seabed, about two thousand years ago. As conceived by Keepers of the world, this island should play a kind of "Lightning Rod" role. Therefore, the demons could not invade the rest of this planet! This island is surrounded by a magical dome that will not let demons out of it. This dome is held by four elements, and the elements themselves..." After these words, Raiden teleported an Amulet of Elementals to this table. "The elements themselves, the crystals, are in a secret place and are constantly changing their location. We need to collect all the crystals, and do it before the demons find them! This amulet is able to lead you to a magic map, and then you will be able to understand where all four crystals are. After that, we will be able to use this amulet at full capacity! The gap formed in the protective layer of the Equus will close again. And only after that, Discord and I will be able to deal with the remaining demons and clear this island of their unclean spirit! But of course we need help... And the sooner we start searching for the crystals, the easier it will be to fight the demons."

And while Raiden was telling all these details, Discord looked at my shocked face with a slight grin, and hurried to pour me another glass of Rice Vodka! "Yes, my friend! You really didn't get to the resort... Although, I have to admit that you find time for your love affairs."

"Thank you, Discord." I said in a low voice and drank this drink in one gulp, after which my eyes widened from the fact that the burning properties of this vodka began to create discomfort in my throat! "Oooah! Ik... Fuck!" I mumbled, waving my palm, and trying to catch my breath.

Raiden and Rain looked at me with grimaces on their faces, after which Rain carefully poured me berry compote. "Yes, I understand you perfectly. And I still wonder how Raiden can drink this stuff!" Rain said and looked indignantly at Raiden, whose face was completely calm.

I gulped down this compote, and breathed a sigh of relief. "Ohhh... Thank you, Rain Shine." I said in a grateful voice and narrowed my eyelids looking at this mare. However, I didn't have the strength to say anything else, as my mind was in shock from the realization that on our poor heads. And for some reason, I'm just sure that all these tasks will have to be solved by me, for the most part!

Everyone noticed my confusion, but it was Rain who decided to have her say. "But first of all we have to help Discord, and find the Water Element!" Rain said and banged her hooves on the table, which scared Raiden a little, and looked at Discord seriously. "Otherwise, fires on this island bring too much trouble to the local fauna! Some animals resort to us in this shelter, and with plaintive faces ask to shelter them! Of course, I have already arranged for several Kirins to organize a separate room for them and feed them! And I want to be the one who will go with you on this dangerous mission, to the Cave of Fear, which is located in the former Kirinopol!"

While Raiden and I put on thoughtful faces, Discord decided to flirt a little with this mare.

Discord brought his face close to Rain and smiled. "I really appreciate your desire to help me. And I'll even be glad of your pleasant company. Then it's all settled! I, Rain, Chrysalis, and Heart Path. Together we will go to Kirinopol, and after that we will find a magic card using an Amulet of Elementals, and immediately go in search of a Water Element!" After these words, Discord looked at me with a serious face and waved his paw in front of my eyes, trying to attract my attention, since I was clearly deep in my own thoughts.

What kind of shit did I get into!? But I am happy with such madness that happened in my life. And it seems that now I'm starting a deeper meaning. Any happiness in our life will be even more pleasant when we deserve this happiness with our patience and hard work! But, I will not be alone and I will always find time for love.

"Ah! What? I'm here with you, I'm just... oh." I sighed sadly and lowered my gaze. "As I understand it, the way to Kirinopol will be long and dangerous..." But I did not have time to finish my thought.

Raiden put his hooves on the table. "Yes. You're right, Heart Path! And I advise you to get ready and rest. Your company will be heading tomorrow evening! I would go with you, but I am responsible for everyone who is in this shelter. And in the worst case scenario, I will have to organize a defense!" Raiden said in a low but stern voice.

But I just chuckled and looked at my friends with sadness, because I understood something. "Poor Chrysalis... Why should we take her on this mission? After all, it will be about one day since she returned from a dangerous mission to rescue Cadence! She got injured, you already know perfectly well!" After these words, I also looked sternly at everyone present, but only Rain Shine looked at me with understanding on her face. "No! I am against Chrysalis being with us on this dangerous mission!"

Discord slapped his forehead with a lion's paw. "You don't know well enough who Chrysalis is yet! But... but nevertheless, you have already confessed your feelings to this mare. Honestly, it looks childishly naive, but I won't deny your talent. And it's nice and all that, but I believe that you, as well as all of us, play your role, which in any case benefits." Discord whispered and looked into my eyes again.

His words do make a lot of sense, but I wouldn't be who I am. I am Heart Path!

Raiden grinned when he saw my satisfied smile. "Heh! I certainly understand your loving concern about Chrysalis. But I assure you, tomorrow morning this mare will be in full energy, and will pester you with love requests! However, Discord is right, and you will need Chrysalis in this dangerous mission. Her abilities are simply priceless! But do not forget that there is also Cadence!"

I quickly got up from my seat and looked at my friends with dilated eyes. "Oh shit! For all this moment, I forgot about Cadence! But this mare didn't come to this island to be useless. And I only partially guess about her goals. She gave me this." I said, and when a drop of sweat rolled off my forehead, I took the love arrow out of my belt, and again looked at his friends with a thoughtful look.

"Hah! You know what? I have a great idea! I think we need to take Cadence with us! Moreover, it seems that I am also beginning to guess why exactly the Princess of Love, by the will of fate and the idea of the higher powers, arrived on this island. Besides, I perfectly saw her kissing you, completely enjoying this moment. I have a feeling that you're not telling us something, Heart Path!" After these words, he inquisitively pressed against my forehead, which I didn't like a little, but he patted me on the shoulder in a friendly way when he noticed my expression. "You don't think I'm stupid!? I can quite guess what you experienced during your momentary trance when you touched Cadence's hoof!" said Discord with a smirk on his face.

But Raiden also narrowed his eyes, Rain Shine did the same. "Yes! I guessed it too. You had a vision, and it's definitely related to Cadence! But Discord and I understood that at the moment when we had to help the Princess of Love... we shouldn't have been distracted to listen to your revelation." Raiden said, to defuse the tension I was experiencing a little, he poured everyone a full glass of Rice Vodka.

Rain Shane also did not refuse to put pressure on me. "I would also like to know at least some details! Otherwise, over the past couple of days, several new faces have appeared in our shelter, which of course are our friends, and all that, BUT although you are all very nice, I would like to know the truth!"

But I was well aware of the Valiant's request, so you must understand me now. I cleared my throat and made an impenetrable face, hurried to get up from the table and head for the door. Although I understand that this is a little ugly on my part, however, my friends did not stop me, but their skeptical look was obvious.

I turned around and looked at my friends apologetically. "I'm sorry. But please understand me! I made a promise that I would keep this secret until the time came. And now, I thank you for this evening, in your pleasant company! Heh... but my mares are waiting for me! And damn it, I have to wash this tunic!" I said, and without waiting for an answer, I smiled amiably and left this room.

It was too stressful a day. And I just have to make love to Sienna in order to give her what I promised and relieve stress myself.


Author's Note

Yes, this day is not over yet, and this man will have his own night of adventures ahead. And three mares who want to spend their well-deserved rest time in the company of Heart Path. But none of these characters even knows that there are still quite a few surprises waiting for them. One of these surprises will be described in the next chapter.

I thank all readers for their attention and patience while waiting for the next chapter. This story has only shown its beginning, and ahead of the main character, and other characters, there will still be quite a few adventures of their own.

I could describe a couple more scenes on behalf of the main character, and it is quite obvious what can be expected in these scenes. But such a chapter would turn out to be very large, and not very easy to read! However, I don't like to skip such scenes when describing the plot, so no matter how funny it may sound, but for these half a million words, I have described only (almost) seven days of life in this world. I will return to the continuation of this POV in chapter 37! Yes... yes... And all because, the next chapter will be devoted to an equally important character. And I think you can quite guess who we are talking about! This is the mare from chapter 24.
