Author's Note

I've got maybe one more in me after this. This one is staring Cadance, and a creature that I came up with off the top of my head. To picture the Slergen... think a giant gecko that walks on two legs.

A Third Chapter? For Shame.

Princess Cadance was always seen as the “perfect pink princess”. She was pink, she was the princess of love, and she’d married her long time sweet heart and ruled her own kingdom. She’d also bore a daughter who just happened to be an Alicorn.

She walked down the streets of the Crystal Empire and ponies waved or bowed. Her guards always remained two steps behind her, just far enough back that if she were attacked they’d be on the attacker in seconds. There were very few times she ever dealt with those attackers herself. It was usually Shining Armor’s job. That was how her day normally went.

Today was special. Today was her day. She’d ditched her guards and managed to perform a disguise spell to change her appearance. Flurry would still see her mom, so the infant wouldn’t worry, but everypony else would see just another crystal empire mare. Slightly taller than most, but that wasn’t unheard of. A unicorn, though there were plenty. Her crystalline coat was a slightly darker shade of pink, closer to Twilight Sparkle’s shade of purple. Her mane was a dull amethyst color.

She wasn’t really planning on staying out long, but she did have plans. She’d left instructions for Shining. If she wasn’t back in two days, don’t panic. Her trip simply took longer than expected. She had left a message saying she was going on a trip, for at least two days.

Nopony could actually guess where. When the unicorn mare was out of sight of everypony else, she teleported away, a bright flash of pink.

A similar flash of pink lit up a cave very near a rather large swamp she’d discovered on one of her solo hikes around the country. This swamp wasn’t the usual home to the typical Equestrian swamp fare; Hydras, Boggarts and the like. This swamp was home to more mundane creatures. Snakes, alligators, crocodiles and other normal beasts.

She wasn’t looking for any of them today. This particular swamp was home to one creature in particular she liked quite a bit. Hearing the tell-tale squelch of mud as giant feet slapped into it, she couldn’t help but quicken her gait. Slergens were such rare creatures, and this particular Slergen had an appetite for Pony.

Not the usual appetite, though he would gum on her a bit. Slergens didn’t have teeth after all, opting instead to swallow their meals whole, no matter what said meal was. Coming to a slightly more clear section of the swamp, she paused and peered through the reeds. Sure enough a large male Slergen was stomping through the mud. Most ponies, seeing a creature that large, would run and not look back. Cadance however wanted to watch him. She wanted him to see her.

Omnivorous creatures, Slergen would eat anything they could grab. Plants, berries, critters, ponies, it didn’t matter. Even the occasional Cragadile would disappear past their toothless lips. Feeling her heart thundering in her chest, she stepped out and made as much noise as possible. Another thing about Slergen was they were territorial. If this one was stomping around here, anything stepping into its mud hole was invading its territory. And it would be dealt with.

The sound it made was somewhere between a roar and a gurgle, sounding almost adorable as it squelched towards her. She didn’t run, but she did act like she was trying to escape from the sticky mud pit. When it was nearly on her, she moved and raced under its legs.

Slergen were smart. Smarter than a pony might think. If they couldn’t catch a pony with their squishy paws, they’d use their tail. Or, in this pony’s case, they’d simply sit.

Easily six times the six of a normal pony, of which Cadance was disguised as currently, the Slergen’s tail hole was more than a match for Cadance. She tried not to squeak in joy as its slimy, squishy rear came down on her. She’d wanted to go in head first, enjoy it a little, but she’d run a little faster than anticipated. Her rear legs got sucked in first.

Shrugging a little, she made a show of struggling. Just to alert the creature that she was there. It worked. Several muscle movements later and the only thing remaining outside of the slimy reptilian beast was Cadance’s head and forehooves. She didn’t have to move now, general muscle movement was slowly sucking her in.

Shining would never understand. Her face was pure bliss as she disappeared past the Slergen’s sphincter, sucked up into its bowels to be deposited in its gut. No pony would really, not even her aunt Celestia, whom she’d seen stuff a pony up her own ponut before. She’d always had a fascination with butts. Being in them specifically. Shrinking spells had become her friend before she’d married Shining. Mares, stallions, pets, it didn’t matter to her. Any butt was a butt worth being inside.

She still remembered the look on Chrysalis’ face during the wedding. Her look of confusion, then contemplation before finally deciding against it. Cadance would have happily let Chrysalis win, even filled her in on how to fool everypony, if the Changeling had done one thing. Allowed the Princess of Love to shrink herself down and crawl into the Changeling Queen’s rear, never to be seen again. She wasn’t sure why Chrysalis had decided against a permanent “love battery”, or why she’d let go of such an easy win.

Ultimately, however, Cadance was glad the bug queen hadn’t agreed. She wouldn’t have met this creature if she was living in Chrysalis’ ass.
