Chapter 7-SEVEN Y-YEARS L@T_R

"What's it like to hold your child in your arms? Interlinked."

<|>

I stare down at the filly before me, holding her mother tight in her arms as they both slumber peacefully.

My core hums softly in my chest as my love for them overwhelms me a great deal.

Anomaly detected.

I chuckle softly and nod. “Affirmative.”

I study the variety of white dots along her small, dark grey form as her disheveled bluish-purple mane curtains over her right eye.

I reach down and run my hoof along the side of her face as she lets out a light snore, taking after her mother in that field.

I still can’t understand how it happened. I’m a machine. Sentient, but still mechanical in nature. Developing a soul, as Ari calls it, doesn’t change reality. I’m not... or rather, I thought I wasn’t able to create life. That I wasn’t capable of creating anything. So much as a new song, or a piece of unwritten literature.

Yet, somehow… Areia managed to defy all of it. We bent the rules of reality together. And I can’t be any happier from the outcome.

Something I keep coming back to was the light that shone from her necklace in our first night of passion. There’s something about it I can’t quite place. It feels important.

“My two shooting stars…” I whisper, looking down at both of them as they lie on the mattress they built together, which is supported by the wooden bedframe I made long ago.

The filly suddenly yawns as I pull my hoof away, letting out the cutest sound as she stretches, baring her fangs. Her tail wraps around her mother’s as her magenta eye opens, looking up at me with the most heartfelt smile she has to offer. She brushes her mane aside, revealing to me her other eye, being blue. The same shade of my visor color.

“Daddy!” She beams, stretching her arms out to me.

“Anomaly, my dear.” I lift her up carefully with my wings, cradling her as she wraps her arms around to the back of my neck. She nestles into me as her tail unravels, only to tighten around my forehoof.

She emits a sound I know well. After all, both her and her mother do it a lot; that rumbling, or rather, in Anomaly’s case, purring. She nuzzles into me, her purrs becoming much louder.

“Mmmm… Good morning, daddy!” She giggles into my chest, before I feel her begin to gnaw on the edge of the plating.

“Now, now.” I chide, looking down at her. “What have we said about that?”

She grins up at me mischievously.

“Ooh! Ooh! Only do it if you’re asleep, so you don’t find out!”

I tilt my head for a moment as she begins to giggle again, hiding her muzzle behind a forehoof.

“Well, then…” I set her down on her back, pinning her to the ground. “I just found out. So maybe I’ll do it to you!” I press my muzzle to her belly as I buzz violently, to which she bursts into laughter, thrashing around violently.

“Eeeeheeheeheehahaa! N-no! Daddy! No more! Eeaahhaheeheehee! You got meeeeehheheheeheeeee!” She cries out, barely able to speak over her laughter.

“What’s that? Bvvvt! Can’t hear you!”

More giggling ensues from my ticklish filly as she thrashes about in relentless abandon in attempts to escape the raspberry.

The memory comes back…

The filly from the tower, trying desperately to crawl away from me…

I jolt back as my visor flashes red for a moment. I land on my haunches, looking down at my daughter as she slowly recovers from her fit of laughter, but the spark of guilt within me is deep…

I shake my head, putting a hoof to my temple.

“O-oh…” I murmur, hanging my head down.

“Daddy?”

I look up at her to find she’s sitting up, staring back in wonder.

“W-what’s wrong…?”

I can’t let her know what I did…

“I-I just got a m-m-message from the stars. They wanted me to t-tell you that you’re the most a-adorable filly in the entire universe.” I stand up and approach her calmly, pressing my muzzle lightly to her forehead.

“Mmmmrpphhh…”

My little star’s eyes widen as we hear a certain, wondrous sound.

“Moooooommmyyy!” My filly cries out as she bolts towards her mother, scrambling to find purchase on the cave floor.

Areia, having only just woken up, lets out an, “Oof!” as our filly tackle-hugs her.

“Mommy…” Like with me, Anomaly clings to Areia, purring contentedly as Areia nuzzles into her mane, chuckling with happiness.

“Good morning, my dear Ani.” She gently lifts herself up, still holding Anomaly with her right forehoof. Glancing back over at me, she smiles widely at the sight of me. “Good morning, my love.”

“G-good morning, my s-s-star.” I reply, before sighing as I slouch my shoulders. “A-apologies. My voca-vocabulary unit is on the fffffffritz again.”

“Ani, my dear.” Areia says in a soothing voice as she glances down at her. “Can you prepare breakfast?”

“Awww, but what if I mess up?” She pouts, looking from her to me, to her again.

“I believe in you, Ani.” Areia says as she runs a hoof along the back of her head. “You’ve helped me do it a hundred times.”

“Correction. 308 t-times in tot-total.”

Areia’s smile widens a little as she rolls her eyes. Soon after, she nuzzles her nose. “You got this.”

Anomaly’s ears perk up at her mother’s words. “R-really?”

“O-of course, Anomaly.” I say as I stand up and approach the bed carefully. “Mommy and I just need a-a moment. We’ll be joining you very s-soon.” I press my muzzle to her cheek as I wrap a hoof around her shoulder.

“Okay, daddy!” She gets ready to bounce off the bed, before pausing for a moment. She then looks back at the two of us, beaming with joy. “You know… I’d really love to have another sibling.” Without another word, she scampers off to the kitchen, humming cheerfully as she goes.

A bright shade of red grows on Areia’s cheeks as she regards me, and for a moment, glances down at my lower region, before returning to my eyes. She lets out a small chuckle, before moving in and hugging me close.

“Your voice is glitching out again, love. Did you see her again?”

I nod. “Affirmative…” I proceed to nuzzle her ear gently, before sighing. “It’s been happening at the worst possible times lately, too. Like when I’m playing with Ani…”

Areia’s ears fold back slightly as she leans against me. “I wish these episodes you keep having would stop, if only so you can be free to play with our daughter. You deserve to be happy too, with both of us.”

“That’s… the thing, Ari.” I run a hoof along her cheek as I look back at her, pressing my muzzle lightly to hers as she gazes into my eyes. “I have the option to delete core memories, such as that. But… I haven’t. It keeps me in check. I think I’m… scared… about losing it. What if…” I hang my head down in shame as that familiar pit of despair swallows me whole again. “What if I get rid of it, and I become something else…? What if I’m not me if I do…?”

“War…” She puts a hoof to my muzzle as if to stop me. “Even if you delete those memories, I don’t think you would ever change. Not when you made so many with me. With us. I… understand why you want to keep these memories, and I even agree with you. But I worry… that if one of your episodes gets to be too much, that you could…” She freezes as she bites her lip, averting her eyes. Her heart rate begins to quicken. “... Hurt yourself… and others…”

Something strikes my core. Not of physical mass. Something deeper. It hurts.

I tilt my head to the side, regarding her as I realize why.

“So you’re… scared of me…” I state matter of factly.

Confusion flashes across her face, as she seems to process my words. “What…?” Her eyes widen as her hooves fly to her mouth, realization spreading across her face. “No! No, no, no! That is not what I’m trying to say! At all!”

In a gentle manner, I wrap her in a loving embrace with my arms and wings, resting my chin on her shoulder. “I understand, Areia. I mean…” I glance over at her to find she’s keeping to herself, but her ears are slightly folded back. I whisper, so as to keep from Ani from hearing this. “I almost killed you…”

She shivers slightly as she closes her eyes only for a moment, before opening them again and looking up at me. Tears well up in them. “I-it’s not you… that I’m scared of… Never… It’s what’s causing you to have these episodes. I-I can see it, your pain, whenever you have them… It tears away at you… and yet… you let it be l-like… like you w-want to be punished. It hurts… so bad, watching you do this to yourself…”

I sigh and nod as a tightness develops around my core, tightening and choking my battery. Destroying it ever so slowly. “I… am punishing myself, Areia. For what I did. But… I see your concerns.” I lightly run my hoof along her chest, kissing her on the lips lightly. “If you really feel like I’m ready… If you really feel like I have enough memories of you and Ani to help define who I am… who I want to be… then…” I nuzzle her ear as I whisper. “I’ll delete it. I want you both to feel safe… But I need you to tell me that I’m ready…”

Areia lays her head against my chest, her arms wrapping around me as her tail snakes around my torso.

“I honestly don’t know, War. All I know is that you’ll be ready when you decide you’re ready.” She sighs, staring at a spot on my chest as she presses a hoof to it. “My brain hurts thinking about this. Both options aren’t… the best…”

I hang my head down, lightly pressing the top of it against her muzzle. “Right… Well, I don’t feel ready. I’d like to be ready. To not have to worry about the things I’ve done before. But I’m just… not.” I look back up at her. “I’ll hold onto the memory for now. I’ll try to… cope with it better.” I lightly tap her nose with the tip of my hoof. “I love you, Areia.”

A soft, rumbling purr emits from her gills as she looks up at me. A wide smile spreads across her face. “I love you too, War.”

Areia lifts her head slightly and pecks my cheek with a kiss.

I run my hoof gently along her gills, to which she gasps. Her eyes grow wide for a second, before calming down and melting in my arms.

“W-War, c’mon… Mmm… N-not now, we’re about to have breakfast!” She giggles, before leaning into my ear. “Tonight, okay…?”

“Affirmative.” I whisper back. “I’ll be more careful this time. I’m still really sorry about last time. I didn’t realize how sensitive they really were.”

She chuckles and murmurs against my chest. “Ah, you didn’t know, War. I can’t blame you for wanting to make me feel good.”

I’ll throw in a back and tail massage later to further my apology.” I nuzzle into her neck just a little; grazing over her gills. “I know how much you like them…”

“Sounds like a p-plan…” She slyly snakes her tail between my hind legs and rubs her fins against the protective plating that shelters the stallion part of me she loves to play with so very much. “But again, no need to apologize.” She proceeds to bap me lightly on the nose.

I chuckle softly and boop my nose to hers for a moment. “Let’s go help Anomaly with breakfast, love.”

“Mmmmm… Yes…” Another purr emits from her as she pulls away gently, kissing me on the cheek once more. As she walks toward the kitchen, her tail trails along my neck before giving me a brief show of what’s to come tonight. She sways her hips as she walks.

There it goes again…

My dick has a mind of its own…

I never permitted authorization for it to act on its own accord, but ever since I first started to notice her in that manner, it’s been like this.

I shake my head, laughing under my breath as I get up and trot to her side. As I do, I slip the tip of my wing under her tail, caressing her lips. Though, by pure accident, they slip into her a little.

“E-eep, War!”

I trot past, sliding the same wing along her hip, laughing a little louder.

Operation Payback is a success.

I stop before Anomaly, who’s sitting at the stove we had salvaged from a galley. Several fish are cooking inside.

Areia steps up to me, huffing in annoyance at my actions as her face - now bright red - turns to mine in an exasperated glare. Though behind that, I can see she’s eager.

Anomaly turns to the two of us, before a sad glint in her eyes starts to grow. She frowns, before turning to me with the saddest, yet most endearing pony eyes she can conjure up.

“D-does this mean I’m not getting a sibling…?”

Areia opens her mouth, her irritation stricken from her face as she tries to speak, only for her words to be cut short. “We… Bu… I…”

Her hoof sways between pointing at me or Anomaly.

“If I’m really, really good, then could I?” Anomaly, seemingly taking advantage of the opportunity my poor sand shark gives her, pulls her bottom lip up as her eyes quiver with mock tears.

“Ani, my love.” I run my hoof along the back of her head, petting her as I look down at her. “The chance of you having a sibling is pretty high.” I nuzzle the top of her head and giggle as a small gasp escapes Areia’s lips. “But it takes a lot of time and patience.”

The wide grin that spreads across Anomaly’s face is enough to bring a singing warmth to my core.

“Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy!” She suddenly shrieks as she rockets into the air, before flopping back down to the ground. Mere milliseconds after she hits the carved flooring of a smoother, linear surface, she spring backs into the air, dancing around us in an elated cheer.

“I’m gonna have a sibliiiiiiing! I’m gonna have a sibliiiiiiiing!”

Areia slumps over in defeat. Though, I can see her mouth starting to form a large grin as her eyes follow our daughter’s attempt at reaching orbit.

“Well, your father and I were going to try toni-” Areia’s eyes widen at the realization of what she just said.

Anomaly catches on to her statement almost instantly, before bouncing even higher, screaming with joy at a higher volume. “EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!”

I look at Areia, to which she looks back at me with a puzzled expression.

“A-Anomaly, do you…” I turn back to her. “Where do you think you came from?”

“From the stars!” She beams as she thrusts a forehoof to the ceiling. “On the back of a giant whale! To give to you and mommy!”

Areia chuckles nervously, rubbing the back of her head with a hoof.

“You’re gonna call the whale back, and I’m gonna get a little brother or sister!” She hops up onto my back, before hopping over to Areia’s and climbing atop her head.

“Gonna call the sperm whale back…” I mutter under my breath, keeping my eyes locked on Ari.

“And ride the shark till first light…” She looks back at me and winks.

“To nirvana.” I add as I nuzzle her cheek.

Giggling, Areia nuzzles me back, before glancing at the stove.

“Hun, why don’t you spend time with our little light while I finish up breakfast?” My beautiful shark rubs her tail along my back, in an embrace of sorts.

“Of course.” I run a wing along her back in a loving caress. “Climb aboard, silly filly.” I say as I look at our daughter; her eyes leveled with mine, due to my increased height.

She grins at me, before hopping off Areia’s head and walking across the bridge I formed with my wing. She clings tight to my head from behind as I place a loving kiss on Areia’s muzzle.

“I love you so much, my endearing sandshark.”

“I love you too, my wonderful Warhorse.” She kisses back, before pulling away for a moment, looking up at Ani. “And we love you, our star lit sand shark!” She reaches a hoof up, to which Ani giggles happily.

“I love you too! Both of you, so much!” She squeezes me tighter, nuzzling the back of my head. Her fangs start nipping at the edge of the plating protecting my ear.

I chuckle softly and shake my head slowly. “Ani, what have we talked about? No biting. Me, that is. Go bite your mother.”

“Oow! Hey!” Areia balks. “Waaaaar!”

Anomaly and I laugh uproariously as we speedily vacate the kitchen. A ladle clangs off my rear, courtesy of a certain fuming shark.

I close the door behind us and trot to the bridge that Areia and Anomaly built together for me, stretching out across the canal of crashing waves.

“Hey, Ani.” I flick my wings out a little, feeling the temptation rise within me. “Do you have a tight hold of me?”

At my words, her little hooves tighten around my neck as she presses herself down against my back.

“Yup!” She chirps happily.

“Wonderful.” I say calmly as my wings stretch out in split second speed, before flapping. I leap off the top of the bridge, taking to the skies at a rapid escalation. The wind roars past as I bolt for the white, puffy clouds overhead, reflecting the sun’s light off their tops.

“EEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHAAAHAAAHAAAHAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!” My filly screams into the morning sky, her joy and elation clear in her voice. “Let’s go higher, daddy! Higher!” She lets out a happy giggle. “I want to go higher!”

“Affirmative!” I begin to flap my wings harder, rocketing even higher into the sky as such short notice. I feel her arms wrap tighter around me as she laughs aloud.

I find it somewhat amusing that she doesn’t hold the same fear of heights that Areia once did.

Warning.

Unbreathable atmosphere at 1000 meters.

Reaching flight ceiling.

Advise caution to accompanying life forms.

I stop next to a puff of cloud, before tapping my hoof on it to find it holds as a solid surface to me.

Acknowledged.

I carefully step onto the cloud before lying down. I bring my daughter around to my chest as I roll over on my back, letting her reside on top of me as I look up at her.

My initial planet did not have clouds that would support my kind. It had come as a surprise to me the first time I discovered the elements here did.

Back on the other Equus, scientists worked tirelessly to find the missing equation that held pegasi magic so that they could implement it into their combat mechs, such as myself.

As far as I know, they still haven’t discovered the answer.

But I think I did.

My home is here. Equus accepted me. I have a soul now, thanks to Areia. Maybe the missing element they didn’t consider was a soul.

There are some things that science and math equations can’t solve. Things that are deeper than numbers.

“Daddy?”

I snap out of my thoughts, looking back up at her as she tilts her head to the side in a curious manner, looking back down at me in turn.

“Anomaly.” I reach a hoof up to her cheek, caressing it lovingly. She leans into it and smiles.

“What was it like up there? In space?” She turns her gaze to the view below us, an expanse of deep blue, met only by the steel blue sky. “Mommy said you used to travel across the stars, searching for something…” She sighs, staring down at the miniscule island that made up our home. “Could you tell me, daddy? I’d really like to know.” She focuses back on me, a hopeful glint in her eyes.

I let out a small giggle and lightly boop her nose, to which she scrunches her muzzle and wipes a hoof across it.

“Affirmative. Space is… very cold. No sound travels up there. At least… not through the sense of sound. I was able to hear things up there through sonic vibrations. Space is… very beautiful. Like you and your mother. There’s a very calming nature to it. The silence, the isolation as you drift away into the infinite…” I hold her hoof in mine, before placing a tender kiss to it. “As for what I was searching for… Heh… Well, I didn’t realize I was even searching for something to begin with. I never found it…” I look up into her gorgeous, blue and magenta eyes. “But she certainly found me.”

“Mommy found you?”

“Affirmative.” I reply with content. “And that led us to bring you into our lives.”

“Wow… H-hey!” Her eyes suddenly light up, quickly shifting from wonder to excitement as she looks down at me, almost hopping on my chest. “D-do you think I’ll ever travel the stars like you did!?”

I giggle as she starts to lean off to the side, losing her balance. I quickly swing my wing up, catching her from falling, and hold her close to my chest, wrapping her in a protective cocoon. “I think, Ani, that there’s always a chance. You should always shoot for the stars.”

With a determined look in her eyes, she grins in regard to me for a moment, before looking up at the bright blue morning sky. I hear her whisper to herself.

“I’m gonna go up there someday… I’m gonna see it all...”

I pause as a new thought slips into my mind. I chuckle as I nuzzle the top of her head. “Space Cadet Anomaly. I like the sound of that.”

“Mmmh! I love it!” She buries her face into my chest as her small hooves wrap around me in a tight, loving embrace.

“And I love you…” I whisper, running my hooves along her back.

“I love you too, daddy!”

A calming silence hangs between us for a moment as we take in the moment. After a few minutes, I finally break it with a question.

“Hey, Anomaly?” I look back down at her to find she has nearly slipped into a nap.

“Mhhm?” She murmurs, her eyes half closed. “Yes, daddy?” A yawn threatens to escape from her as she snuggles against me.

“Do you want to hear what your planet sounds like from orbit? I recorded its sonic frequency before I crashed down here.”

“W-what does it sound like?” She asks as that yawn finally makes its way out.

“Magical.” I reply softly.

Opening file: Unknown planet mass #309812

Play.

At once, a radiant hum, mixed in with a soft, yet high pitched, echoed ringing plays from my speakers, almost like a song from another realm. Interlaced with it is a deeper humming choir with subtle screams of metal sliding along each other, and what sounds like a low, howling wind in a dark cavern.

“It sounds…” Yawn. “Like us… You… Mommy… H-home…” My little Ani murrs softly as she settles against my chest. “I love you, daddy…”

“I love you too, baby girl… So very much…” I watch her for a moment in silence as she dozes off on my chest to the sound of her planet. Drool escapes her mouth, pooling up on my chestplate as I hold her close.

Optics offline.

I take in the sound of the planet from orbit, and I find that she’s right…

Each part of the neverending song resembles us in some way. Her, me, Areia, this planet…

Heh…

I never imagined I’d feel true happiness seven years ago.

A warm tickle enveloped my core as I felt the urge to laugh.

I am… happy. Truly happy. I have love, joy, and euphoria inside me.

No politics, no war, no worries of societal order.

I’ve achieved nirvana!

I have everything!

I hold my little star a little tighter, so as to keep her safe from falling, before shutting down my systems, ready to join in her slumber.

<|>

“Daddy! C’mon, wake up!”

I feel a repeated assault of boopage against my muzzle in a tireless effort.

Optics online.

I look up at her as her brow knits, staring down at me. Upon my eyes lighting up in a medium shade of blue, she grins, revealing her various rows of shark teeth that continue to grow with her age.

“Finally!” She exclaims, rolling her eyes as she laughs. “You’ve been asleep for forever and a half!”

“Mmh…” I groan softly, before rolling my head to the side. “Five more minutes? I’m too comfortable.”

“Daaaaaad! We gotta go! Mommy’s waiting for us, and I’m hungryyyyyyyyy!” The last bit of her statement comes out in an almost core-wrenching whine.

My eyes flash red as I sit up. “Oh no…” I hold her close, so as to keep her from falling. “My baby is hungry? Well, we can’t have that, now can we?” I stand up on the small patch of cloud. “Alright then, little filly.” I continue as she climbs around my form, residing on my back. “Hang on tight.” My eyes flash blue again as I near the ledge.

“Roger that, commander! Hehe, affirmative! I’m ready to go!” She cries out with excitement as she clings tightly to me, as if suctioned onto my back.

A spark of warmth envelopes my core at the new nickname she gives me, and it begins to hum gently as I spread my wings, looking down at the small patch of land below.

I leap off the cloud and spin around in a twirl, to which Ani shrieks with excitement, clinging even tighter. I quickly follow the spin with an abrupt nose dive, darting down to the planet’s surface once more.

I can barely pick up her cheers through the roaring wind.

“I can fly!” Anomaly shouts into my ear as she leans forward into the wind, carefully perching her upper body atop my head as she wraps her tail around my barrel.

As we near the shores of our paradise, I level myself out and glide along the sand, leaving a trail of it as a cloud behind us as I drag the tips of my wings ever so lightly against its loose surface. Ahead, I can see Areia standing at the edge of the rocky terrain, and upon zooming in, I see she’s giving me a slightly unamused look. However, I also see humor in the faint smile curled on her lips.

I slow the flight speed down ever so gradually as I trot along the ground; each step being nearly 12 feet apart from each other, due to the velocity I picked up.

I eventually lock my legs in place, skidding along the ground, and come to a halt inches before her. Looking up, she raises a brow at me silently.

When did she get taller?

I look down and find all four of my legs are buried into the sand from the sliding stop I performed.

Oh…

I look back up at her. “What do you think?” I tilt my head to the side playfully.

“Looking a bit short there, War. Looks like I’m going to have to go digging for some buried treasure.” Finally, a small giggle escapes her lips as she gives me a more sultry gaze.

“I don’t get it!” Ani blurts.

I chuckle softly, keeping my eyes locked on Ari’s. “You’ll get it when you’re older, dear.” I begin digging my wings into the sand at my sides, scooping it out from underneath me as a means to escape the burial I made for myself. “I… might actually need some help, Areia.” I state in a timid tone of voice, looking at the ground in shame.

Chuckling, she motions Ani to the cave. “I’ve already had my breakfast, but I left yours waiting inside, simmering.” Leaning down, Areia kisses Anomaly on the forehead, before brushing at her unruly mane. “Your father and I will be right along, dear.”

“Okay!” Ani gallops off toward the cave, her little form weaving this way and that.

I watch as she heads home, and as she disappears from my sight, descending down the bridge, I look back up at Areia. “To quote the initials of our family… Aaw.”

Giggling, she plunges her hooves into the sand pulling piles of the gritty stuff away from my buried body. “Silly War, I’m supposed to be the sand.” Pausing for a moment, she boops my nose with a sand encrusted hoof.

“Negative. Now we’re both sand.” I look back at her as she digs moderate amounts out from underneath me, via my side.

“Nuh uh. My name is sand, therefore I am sand.” She grins as her hoof reaches underneath my belly, which is partially covered in the stuff. “Mmh… it seems I’ve found something… War…” Areia’s grin widens as her hoof finally comes to a stop against the plating that protects my pride.

With a shake of my head, I laugh softly. “You’re such an eager mare… Alright, I’ll give you a little treat.” With that, the plating slides open, revealing my sheath and balls. “But only for a little bit. Otherwise you don’t get dessert.”

“Little treat… Pssh…” She scoffs. “You’re anything but little… Mmh...” Giggling, she gently runs the frog of her hoof along the underside of my balls, eyes glued to them hungrily. “Just as long as you enjoy this as well...”

Moaning under my breath, I feel my cock twitch as it grows gradually in length, pulsating with excitement as it awakens from its slumber. “J-just don’t take all my energy, baby… we still have a lot to do tonight.”

Humming with delight, she runs her frog to the back of my balls, drawing them forwards, then back, as if she is lightly kneading them. “You’re a robot, love. You can go as long as I say you ca- AGH!”

I interrupt her with a firm, hard slap with my wing to her flank, reddening it within mere seconds of contact.

“W-War!” She cries out in a desperate moan. “N-Nng… D-do it again, and I won’t be able to s-stop myself… hah…”

“We can see about putting that to the test.” I say as I withdraw my wing, before bringing it back down slightly harder. She yelps at my dominance, her legs quivering underneath her body, threatening to give out.

“T-tonight…” Her voice is a low, sultry growl. “You’re taking the reins…” She reaches her hoof along my trapped underside.

“But first…” She growls deeper as she slides into the small cavern she’s made underneath me, her breath caressing my lengthened shaft. “I’m taking what’s mine…”

<|>

Areia screams underneath me in pleasure as I press my hoof down over the back of her head, keeping her pinned as I release myself deep inside her. Her tail is wrapped tightly around my waist as I send one more hard thrust into her, panting.

“Ahh… Areia…” I run my hoof down the back of her head and down her spine, to the base of her tail as my wings caress both sides of her bright red, firm, sexy flank, on account of the spanking I gave her as I plowed her mercilessly.

My balls twitch against her slit as the last of my cum pulses out, flooding her womb with my batter to levels she can’t contain.

“Mmm… My sweet, shining star…”

Areia lies limply on the ground, groaning in a dazed bliss, hind legs twitching from the rough, breeding rut I gave her. Her long tongue sticks weakly out of her mouth, a puddle of drool forming near her face. The deep, rumbling sound of her purr begins emitting from her; the sound of complete and utter satisfaction and contentment. The sentiment is mutual between us.

“Uuuh… Uuuh… Uuuh… Mmmph… W-War…” She murmurs, too weak and exhausted to move just yet.

“Areia…” I mutter under my moaning breath, before pounding into her once more, catching her by surprise, judging by the immediate gasp that escapes her lips.

“Uuunf!”

“Such a naughty mare…” I whisper in a sultry tone, slapping her flank again, before rubbing the silicone feathers along it sensually. I slide out from her love tunnel, gasping softly as my cock - now drenched in both of our pleasure - throbs between my legs.

“Mmmmm! O-oh, War…” She moans loud as she rolls over onto her side, taking up a position she used many times while Ani was growing inside her. I imagine I’ll be seeing it a lot more with the new child I’ll have put inside her.

“My dear Areia.” I saw in a calm voice, stepping up beside her and lying down on my side, looking back at her as she’s lost in a daze. I laugh softly before continuing. “With all that screaming you did, I wouldn’t be surprised if Anomaly woke up.” I look around at the forest scenery around us, dimly lit by the bright moon overhead, accompanied by the stars we share. “Probably woke half of the island up at this point.”

A little snorting laugh comes from my mare. “I-I d-don’t doubt that…” She sighs happily, her hooves placed over her extended belly, full of my virile seed. “Ooooh… I feel so heavy now… Reminds me of when I carried Ani…” She lets out another soft giggle as she caresses her navel.

Looking back up at me, a smile bright with loving care, she reaches out her hoof, gesturing for me to place it on her own, just as her necklace dims.

Once I do, she draws my hoof to her belly, a slight shiver coming from Areia as I press against her.

“I can’t wait to feel the kick of little hooves again…”

Giggling, I kiss her on the lips. “With all that filling I gave you today, there’s no doubt you’ll be feeling them again soon.” I scoot closer, sliding my relaxed cock between her legs. She gasps as I slide along her slit, to which I continue. “It’s cold. I need warmth too.”

Laughing, she rolls her eyes, before lightly booping my nose. “Well, that’s the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard from you. You make warmth!” She proceeds to murr softly, closing her eyes as her inner thighs gently massage my length; squeezing and entrapping it between her legs and ravaged nethers. “But you’re more than welcome to stay…”

I wrap an arm around her and bring her in as my core hums with loving warmth for the mare before me. “I love you so much, Areia.” I whisper as I lift my left hind leg, only for it to rest atop hers, intertwining us. “Forever and ever…”

“I love you too. Forever and ever…” She murmurs into my ear, nuzzling into the side of my head.

“We should rest, my star. We wouldn’t want to spook our dear filly into thinking we vanished, come morning.”

Areia giggles, purring softly. “Mmm, you’re right. She may be a big filly now, but I don’t want to make her worry…”

“My sentiments exactly.” I run a hoof along her cheek as I admire in her beauty. “Soon enough, we might end up with an island full of star ponies.”

“E-eep!” She blushes deeply as the image I’ve given her sinks in. Her eyes are wide.

“Mmm… T-that’s a lot of foals…” The tone of her voice makes me think she’s not entirely opposed to the idea. But it’s something that requires more contemplation before acting on it.

“Affirmative. But how else are we going to start the shark uprising against Equus?” I chuckle menacingly as I boop my nose to hers.

Areia shakes her head, laughing. “You’re still going on about this?” She shifts her body so my cock slides between her perked mammaries. “You know I was drunk when I said that!” She pouts, trying to look sad, only to fail in her attempts as she slowly runs her tits along my length, forcing a moan to come out of me in response.

“A-Ari…” I whisper as the sensation of her smooth mounds squeezes my rod, enticing it for further action. I let out a soft, playful giggle. “W-well, rum really does bring the worst out of y-you… Ahh…”

“Mmmh… Yes, that’s why I’m never having it again! Along with that stupid vodka…” She mutters, a faint shade of pink enveloping her cheeks.

“Hehehe… are you sure? I like the you that the vodka brings out…”

Areia grows from pink to red, her teats now squishing up against my belly as her back arches. “I-I have no idea w-where I found that… mmph… d-dildo…”

I laugh a little louder at the embarrassment in her mention of the toy. “It’s funny that you bring that up…” I say in a sultry tone as the compartment in my chest opens, revealing the very toy she speaks of. “I brought it with me for tonight’s adventures. Look at the bright side.” I say as my visor flickers red for a moment. “Now I can double team you.”

Areia facehooves as her blush intensifies to unimaginable levels.

“Teasing me like you’re doing warrants a good, nice, hard dicking. From yours truly.”

Before she can say anything, I roll over her, doing well to not apply my full weight on her. “When I’m done with you, you’re gonna look pregnant…” I laugh under my breath as I press my tip to her tight, wonderful ass; using our previous waves of excitement as lube. I use my wing to position the toy to her cum soaked slit. I shake my head slowly with amusement with one last remark before the fun resumes.

“So much for sleeping.”
