A New Time, A New Place

"So how do you want to do this?" Dash asked as she began to remove her Wonderbolts leotard.

Fengàri shrugged. "Hell if I know. Never been intimate with anyone before," he drawled. His eyebrows rose slightly upon seeing the nipple piercings. His ears twitched at a whisper of sound before his head turned to see Fluttershy had shed her white shirt, revealing she wore nothing beneath.

He noticed that Saba was floating to another room. "As Tara would say 'Have fun!'" He quickly turned to look at the group. "Don't wake her up or my lasers are going to burn a tribal brand on your asses."

"Damn, there's a twist on a 'pain in the ass' threat," Fengàri deadpanned before shrugging. He focused, a sound blocking runic seal flickering into sight beneath Tara's bed before fading away. It blocked sound in, but not out.

Unbeknownst to the others, Tara was still awake and had cast a astral projection spell, as she had the last two days, letting her body sleep while still being able to travel the world.

"Damn he's really going through with it." She said as she floated nearby letting her bust expand to it's normal size. "Heh, in here I can let the girls free. Feels good."

Fengàri's head turned slightly, sensing something, but not quite able to figure out what he was sensing… unknowingly sensing Tara's astral form.

"Guess his senses are stronger than I thought, maybe I'll pass through to the physical world and ride him myself later." She said as she began playing with her ½ inch thick nipples. "For now I'll enjoy the show."

Fluttershy's demeanor seemed to shift after she disrobed, her eyes had changed color to a glowing red and her pupils shifted to a vertical slit. "Dash." She commanded, causing the wonderbolt to stiffen from the lusty growl Fluttershy's voice now contained. "Studs out now." She said as her fangs slid out of her lips. "You're going to give this puppy a boobjob."

Fengàri's head tilted at the shift in Fluttershy's tone.

"Yes my lady." Dash said as she did as she was told. "It has been quite a while since my girls have been their true size and weight, so let me adjust before we begin please."

Fengàri's eyebrows rose slightly at dash's comment. "Oh? What do you mean?" he commented curiously.

"Dash uses those nipple studs to reduce her bust's weight and size." Fluttershy explained "Twilight made them before she met us based on a unicorn self enchantment that does the same. That invention helped her become Celestia's student."

"And I'd wager quite rich to boot," Fengàri observed.

"No, she was already a minor noble so they never needed the money." Dash said as her bust slowly expanded. "Tara convinced their parents to patent the studs as prosthetic devices, which lowered the price, but it still made a large sum of bits."

"Most of our friends wear the studs. I even have a pair." Fluttershy said as she pulled on her nipples exposing the holes in them, causing her to moan. "Are you ready, Dash?"

Dash's bust had stopped growing and she had straightened up, walking over to Fengàri placing her J cup bust around Fengàri's engorged dick. "I'm ready, my lady." She said as began rubbing her boobs against him. "Like that?" She asked him.

Fengàri Kattalakis shuddered as a low growl escaped him, his eyes widening at the heat and softness. "Holy shit," he managed to groan.

"I forgot that Flutters is a Switch. Guess seeing Fen like this has brought her Dom out." Tara said as she floated over to Fengàri and wrapped her I cups around his dick while straddling him in her astral form. "Sorry Dashie can't resist this"

"Don't just rub it Dash suck the tip," while commanding her momentary Sub Fluttershy had rolled a faux leather office chair from the counter into a position that allowed her to watch while fingering herself. This was also in the perfect spot for Fengàri to watch both the mares without him straining himself.

Fengàri could feel a subtle, barely noticeable heat over him. "So, Tara, I'm guessing you weren't intimate in those five years? I'd wager that heat tends to build up over time, aye?" he teased, fairly sure who it was as he saw Dashie dipping her head.

"Pah!" Dash said as she pulled off of Fengàri's dick to lick the tip. "It's getting bigger, you must be a tits guy."

Fengàri shrugged slightly before smirking. "Kinda hard not to admire the female form. I don't mind the male form, but I don't get aroused by it," he commented before he let his fingers massage her breasts gently, admiring her body. "Although I'm guessing that if your kind needs a way to shrink those down, then larger sizes are much more common, which logically would imply that spas here have pretty good business," he commented thoughtfully. He saw her shiver as if she wasn't sure how to react to his touch.

"Dear goddess!" She moaned "I forgot just how sensitive they are at their full size!" Dash then sped up her ministrations, alternating directions of her rubbing and sometimes twisting them around Fengàri's cock trying to maximize the pleasure she was giving him while also taking advantage of how sensitive she was.

Fengàri shuddered, his eyes drifting half-lidded as a low, almost purring, growl escaping him as a spurt of slightly glowing precum spurted up. He shifted his weight a bit, not realizing that had Tara been visible, his chin would have been resting squarely on her ass.

"Heh seems I might get some of my own fun after all." Tara said as she began to grind herself on Fengàri's face, her slit leaking slightly and her projection becoming more solid unconsciously.

Fluttershy stopped fingering herself, determining that she was wet enough for the next step. "Now that the warmup is done, it's time I play with the puppy myself." She said quietly while standing up and going over to a cupboard by the counter. "But while I play with him you won't be left out Dash." She opened the cupboard and reached in, sliding a false back open revealing a set of collars and a large collection of dildos, plugs, and many more toys.

She pulled out a rainbow collar with Dash's mark for the tag, along with a dildo gag/dual vibrator plug set that had tubes extending from each before closing the secret compartment and going over to an odd looking freezer and pulling out a gallon sized tub of preserved semen labeled "Cerberus". She then opened a large cabinet that contained a large plastic device that had three openings to attach tubes to and a clear plastic reservoir that could hold a gallon of liquid. Fluttershy quickly attached the dildo's rubber tubes to the inseminator's holes and poured the semen into the Reservoir before turning to Dash.

"Dash, stop." She said, which the cyan and rainbow Pegasus obeyed instantly. "It's my turn so get off him and get in that chair." She pointed to the chair she had been playing with herself in, which upon a closer look had a few odd quirks: multiple sets of straps were attached to the armrests and a metal ring was present on the bar that attached the headrest to the rest of the chair at neck level. On top of that there was a small hole in the center of the seat big enough to expose a mare's slit and asshole if sat in the chair nude.

Again Dash obeyed, raising her legs up to rest just over her arms in a breeding press position. Fluttershy strapped her in to keep her in that position before running the coller through the metal ring at the back and locked it around Dash's neck keeping her head and neck in a relatively straight position. "Good girl Dash!" She said with a fanged smile as she tightened the straps. After the straps were cinched tight Fluttershy quickly slid the plug and vibrator in Rainbow's exposed lower holes. "Such a good girl deserves a reward, obeying her lady just as she orders. Do you want that reward, Dash?"

Knowing what was coming Dash just nodded.

"Very well!" Fluttershy said to Dash as she slid the gag down her throat, locking it in place with the attached strap and activating the vibrator in her slit. "I'm going to turn on the inseminator and once the semen is warmed up it will start flowing down those tubes and Into you. These plugs are made specifically to lock in place after the inseminator is activated thanks to magic allowing them to expand knots within you. No matter what, once the semen starts flowing it won't come out of you until the inseminator is turned off. Don't worry about the gag in your throat, you'll still be able to breathe thanks to Magic built into the gag's strap letting you breathe through your nose by passing your clogged throat and directly pumping the air into your lungs safely." She then turned to Fengàri, still smiling even with him looking confused at the setup.

"Normally, I use that machine for artificial insemination for endangered species when we can't find a male, but have stored semen." She explained as she turned the machine on. "But with Cerberus' overproduction, I tend to have a gallon or two on hand specifically to play with, and all of the girls have had a turn with the machine because of it. As long as we're not in estrus, only a pony can impregnate another Pony, and that is extremely rare even outside of estrus." Finished with her explanations Fluttershy then proceeded to straddle Fengàri's waist, her ponut poised to engulf his throbbing length.

"But how many have the essence of a Primordial, Harbinger, and Ascended within them?" Fengàri breathed as his eyes glowed, his voice dual toned before his head fell back as he unknowingly nuzzled Tara's slit. He did, however, notice the scent of blackberries and roasted hazelnuts, also from the projection of the Alicorn. From the chromatic Pegasus hybrid, he'd noticed the fresh rain and ozone scent, mingled with cocoa. From the vampiric pony, he got a slight hint of copper scent, but the strawberry scent was stronger.

"Unless one of your titles is a God of fertility I'm good Discord and Celestia both put a seal on my womb since I tend to travel the Multiverse for fun." She said with a mischievous smile, "Celestia being a fertility goddess herself is why I mentioned that specifically. Besides this first round is going to be anal only which will reduce the chances to near-zero even if you have a fertility God in your lineage." With that she sat on him taking the majority of his length inside. "Dashie was not lying, you are big!" She shouted with a moan which Tara echoed from her position in the Astral realm. Fluttershy held still to adjust to the ramrod in her ass. "I'm glad I douche and enema daily, otherwise with how big you are this might have gotten messy for you and me both!"

Fengàri's eyes widened as a low, growling moan escaped him. "To my knowledge, no… but… hell… are you tight," he managed. Admittedly, he had no idea what she was talking about.

"Kegals work with all bipeds." Fluttershy said as she began to move up and down, loving the feeling of fullness that his manmeat gave her. "Fill me, big boy!"

Fengàri shivered as he bucked his hips upward as she sank down, seeing her eyes widen slightly as he pushed a bit deeper, matching her pace. "Not sure what those are, nor what an enema is," he muttered gruffly as he licked his lips, unknowingly speaking almost directly into Tara's astral slit even as he teased her as well.

"Kegels are a form of pelvis exercise that help keep the muscles in the lower area tight. The other two are ways to clean the lower holes especially so that you don't get infected or to make anal sex much more yenjoyable." Fluttershy explained between moans. "Fuck! Fuck my ass hard!" In the throes of pleasure, she leaned over and hugged herself hard to Fengàri, somehow pushing Tara's astral form down with her making the alicorn suck on his dick though Fluttershy's body.

Fengàri shrugged slightly as he pumped his hips faster to drive both ponies wilder as he could faintly hear gurgling and gagging as well as muffled moans.

Fluttershy's passage suddenly tightened as she squealed in pleasure. Her slit gushing so hard she flooded the sheets just as Tara came herself.

Both mares fell limp and the sound of Dash's own groans and squeals of pleasure filled the room along with the slight whir of the inseminator's pump as it filled each of her holes. Fluttershy lifted her torso off Fengàri's chest, the action freed Tara but she continued to bob her head slowly sucking Fengàri to keep the mood going.

Fengàri shuddered as he began pumping his hips again as he noticed the scents of fresh Honeycrisp apples and raspberries with a hint of honeysuckle. He gently tugged Fluttershy closer. "You smell like my favorite kind of apples," he murmured in a low purring growl in her ear before he nibbled said ear lightly, more to tease than hurt.

"Oh gods!" Fluttershy moaned as she began bucking her hips again. "You still need your reward, puppy, give me your seed!"

"You mean your moans and scent aren't a reward? Huh…. well, let's see how much I can pump in," Fengàri said in a teasing growl as his hips pumped a bit faster, hearing muffled gags and whines as if Tara wanted more as well, though he wasn't quite sure.

His fingers dragged up her thighs to her hips, circling the intriguing marks there, yet not quite touching them.

"Play with them!" She groaned, "They're yours to play with! Don't tease me!"

Fengàri's head tilted as he massaged the marks, unaware that for most mares, they tended to be an erogenous zone. "Hmmm… your fur is like silk," he murmured thoughtfully, unknowingly massaging Tara's scalp at the same time.

Fluttershy's ass squeezed Fengàri alongside Tara's throat, their constricting tightness causing his pleasure to soar.

Fengàri's eyes widened slightly as their color became a glowing amber. "Close… ugh…" he managed as a copious spurt of pre surged up his length into Fluttershy's depths.

<"Huh, while still salty, it's sweet too."> Tara thoughtspoke.

"So much," Fluttershy groaned. "Need more!" She grabbed Fengàri and the two began floating, Tara and Fluttershy's Pegasi magic unconsciously causing the group to lift off the bed slightly.

Fengàri shivered as he heard Tara's astral voice, noticing it held a throaty purr to it even as he heard Fluttershy's hungry groan. A small smirk crossed his face as his hips began pumping even faster, not noticing the ever so slight arcs of golden electricity flickering over his skin.

Suddenly, a high pitched squeal rang out as Dash began spasming in a multi-orgasm. The squeal nearly breaking through the soundproofing seal from a resonant frequency.

Fengàri's ears twitched at the squeal, his head turning slightly as he unthinkingly reinforced the seal even as his balls visibly tightened, a heavy surge of cream surging up his length…. and only the first of a half dozen. He didn't notice that, in reinforcing the seal, it actually burned into the floor.

Fluttershy wrapped her legs around Fengàri's waist locking him in and popping his swollen knot into both Tara's jaw and Fluttershy's ponut causing both of the mares' wings to stiffen as the group fell back onto the bed with a small splash and Fluttershy to emit her own squeal so high pitched it made the glass on Fengàri's bedside table to crack.

"Wingboner…. though I suspect it won't be the only noticeable change," Fengàri teased as he noticed Fluttershy's belly swelling slowly but surely.

"So full," both Fluttershy and Tara said audibly. The yellow mare then looked over at Tara who, to her surprise, somehow had a swollen belly as well. Dash's belly had ballooned to an equal size to her bust thanks to her triple stuffed holes.

Fengàri smirked, tilting his head. "Saba said 'not to wake her' and we haven't… if anything, she may actually sleep better like that," he commented before he blinked as Tara exhaled a long burp. He tilted his head innocently as his fingers brushed over her hips before teasing her slit just to see her reaction.

The sound of glass breaking rang out as Tara's nude torso phased into the normal plane. "Don't fucking tease me, asshole." She said, shocking the others that she was not just awake but moving around.

"Tease you? I was thinking of doing more… and from the feel of it, you were hoping for more than a meal, weren't you? Though I suppose Saba's threat doesn't count much if you're resting rather than actually sleeping," Fengàri commented nonchalantly as he twisted, knowing he likely surprised her as his lips met hers. "Five years has to be exhausting… no satisfaction in all that time," he said softly. He knew she'd likely notice that, despite her large and soft breasts in obvious view, his eyes didn't leave her face.

His gaze shifted to Fluttershy before he kissed her slowly and gently, his swirling golden amber irises hypnotic. "Safe to say if there's one thing that's true… I won't have to worry about having beauty to admire… and love," he commented, whispering the last two words in her ear.

Dash, despite the euphoria she was feeling at present, after seeing how hot it was to see Fluttershy fucked hard. Her eyes widened slightly at his daring to kiss Tara unexpectedly. She heard him comment about 'beauty to admire' but wasn't quite sure why Fluttershy blushed so deeply right afterward.

"Master, are you planning to add Tara and Twilight to the herd?" Fluttershy asked, nuzzling herself into Fengàri's chest. "I'm willing to share myself with them."

Tara pulled away "We are a package deal, we made a deal that if one of us found a stallion we'll share." Tara then wrapped her wings around the three of them. "For now though we should all get some real sleep."

"I see nothing wrong with that…. though I'm guessing this 'herd' thing is implying that there's an imbalance between men and women unlike on Earth," Fengàri commented as he shivered, feeling Fluttershy's inner muscles tensing and teasing him, though he got the sense it was unintentional on her part. "Though I do have to admit that I'm not very familiar with relationships outside of work… bad luck on my part… like… really bad luck," he sighed softly.

"Depending on where you go, the gender imbalance is as big as 20 to 1 or as small as 60% females to males." Tara said her astral body warming the group. "Polygamy and polyamory are the norm here on this planet along with large groups of lesbian couples, while not explicitly looked down upon. Having one male to a female in a relationship is rare and discouraged except for in the case of nobles where inbreeding is a large problem legally, though unlike with other worlds, inbreeding doesn't cause birth defects due to Magic helping stabilize DNA so it's mostly a legal problem with inheritance."

Fengàri shrugged slightly, unsure how to admit that the majority of what she said went right over his head.

The knocking on the door caught the group's attention. "Fluttershy I'm here for my session with the Inseminator!" An unfamiliar female voice called out. "Also the weekly delivery of rare semen is here! The usual gallon from Cerberus was accompanied by two more and for a surprise it seems Ember sent some from the dragonlands! Though it is labeled human for some reason!"

"That's doctor Fauna like me and some others, being exposed to so many animals with varying Heat and fertility cycles causes her to be almost constantly horny." Fluttershy explained as she slowly pulled off of Fengàri somehow keeping all of his come inside her with pure muscle control. Quickly she heads over to her cupboard with the hidden panel open up the panel and reaches for an extra large plug which she in her ponut to make sure that her muscle control isn't the only thing keeping her filled. "So once a week she visits me here or at my cottage and just bliss's out as Dash is currently." She then produced another set of the same type of dildos as what was currently inside Dash.

"Thankfully I have multiple Inseminators and Fauna has seen me after a few rounds with Harry, so this isn't the first time she's seen me this big." Quickly she set up another inseminator, this one with an empty Reservoir having used up the last gallon that she had on Dash. "Door's unlocked Fauna!" She shouted "Bring everything in! Dash is taking a turn and I need one of those gallons to fill the reservoir of your Inseminator!"

Fengàri tilted his head as he exhaled softly. His gaze shifted to Tara's astral form where it floated. "You ever run across the Phoenix Force or her Avatar?" he commented curiously. His canine ears twitched as he heard the door open before soft, muted footfalls became more noticeable. "Honestly, if you'd said that you had assistance Ascending from a 'psychic powerhouse' she'd have definitely fit. You don't get much stronger than an Omega level mutant… though there are those beyond that level… like Legion… if he were in full control of his powers," he sighed.

"Was the avatar of it and the Omnipower at separate points in time." Tara admitted, "They both gave hints at the identity of the Being that gifted me my wings saying it was a goddess."

Fengàri's eyebrows rose slightly. "Damn… if they didn't know, but hinted… though I'm sure they likely do know… it could be a benevolent equivalent of Darkseid," he commented with a hum. "Though the idea of someone Displaced as him would be terrifying… it'd be entirely likely that he'd become an echo of the 'true Darkseid'...or an avatar of him," he sighed before he noticed a pale grayish olive mare with a platinum blonde mane. He assumed it was Doctor Fauna that Fluttershy had mentioned. He noticed, however, that she glanced his way. He didn't realize that, despite filling Fluttershy with a sizable load, his cock was still mostly hard and engorged.

"Fluttershy?!" Fauna asked as she noticed Fengàri, "You got a human male to study, and such a specimen!" She said as she approached the bed. "Such a big boy!" Fauna started pumping her hand over Fengàri's length before turning to Fluttershy. "Mistress, I humbly request to play with your new friend." She Then noticed Tara. "Princess! I humbly apologise for debasing myself in front of you! Astral form or not."

Fengàri shivered at Fauna's actions before he smirked a bit. "Heh, you can play however you like, can't she, Fluttershy?" he commented teasingly.

"My slaves are yours, Master." Fluttershy said, "Bitch, this is our Master, you're now his breeder, act like it!" She said to Fauna, "Tara and Twilight are his Alphas, and me and any others not in a relationship he adds are their betas, you are nothing more than a breeder and my bitch right?"

"As I have always been," Fauna said before looking to Fengàri. "Master, may this bitch please you?"

"However you like, Fauna. You are quite pretty, which, I'm guessing, is rather common here, aye?" he commented, glancing at Tara and Fluttershy, noticing the hoses and plugs. He tilted his head thoughtfully.

"Yes," Tara said, "unlike in most other Equestrias, even Granny Smith looks good."

Fluttershy seeing that Fauna wasn't going to bring the gallons of semen so she slowly left the room, moaning as the plug in her ass shifted rubbing against her G-Spot as she moved. "Have to do everything for my bitch." She grumbled bringing in the gallon tubs of cum the one labeled "human" surprisingly the same size as the others. "So cock drunk she can't follow orders, maybe you can train her better, Master."

Fengàri cocked an eyebrow at the jugs. "Unless it's a thing around here that people tend to let a lot of seed loose, I'm guessing the human jug didn't, pardon the pun, come from one person," he deadpanned before he saw the small smirk Fauna gained at that. His eyebrow twitched upon catching her surface thoughts. 'Maybe we can try that out, Master. After you fill me up,' he heard. From how her gaze didn't rise to meet his, he doubted she realized he'd picked up her thoughts, though he had little doubt that Tara most likely had as well, especially if she was telling the truth about being a former Phoenix Force host. He cocked his head at that thought.

"Do you think it may be possible that that's how universes gain an equivalent of the Phoenix Force in the multiverse? That a former host of one carries a spark that becomes a new Phoenix Force for a new universe?" he hummed telepathically to Tara.

"I think so," she said, "that might explain my energized dark form. Dark Phoenix perhaps? It's not all dark magic but that could have been a mix of that and the Dark Phoenix."

"It doesn't exactly explain how I can pick up surface thoughts and emotions from others… suffice to say, some emotions are… shall we say… like needles… panic and fear especially. And from the sound of it, Fauna seems pretty damn horny. I'm pretty sure I've noticed such thoughts and emotions in the past, but never focused directly on them… or it could just be that Fauna's just radiating her thoughts really loudly," Fengàri sighed. "From what I remember, Jean's version of the Dark Phoenix was overwhelmed by emotions she wasn't used to nor familiar with," he commented wryly. It was vague, but the awareness felt right.

He could feel Rainbow Dash's emotions like a tingling in the back of his mind, whilst Fluttershy's was almost like a cool mist. Tara's, to him, felt like touching a warm pool. Fauna's, however, felt… like a slow bubbling pot of water, if he had to put it into words.

"I've never felt the pain and anger that triggered the transformation before. Even the Lesser forms were only my normal rage, something pushed me beyond when I saw what Goldar did." Tara said as she too in the info. "You have to remember I was also host to the uni-power at one point. Another Cosmic sentience on par with the true Phoenix though it does not have a dark counterpart."

"I suppose. What memories I can recall are more like a half-forgotten dream. I can remember some things, but not in the right context or maybe even not the right order," Fengàri sighed before he jumped slightly as he felt Fauna's lightly calloused fingers stroking his cock. He shivered, unsure what to do or say.

While this conversation had been going on Fluttershy had been looking at the receipt for the delivery which also listed donors for each semen from the sapient's shipment. "The list reads one donor, a Mr. Anon?"

"That's not funny Fluttershy." Tara said "No pure human can produce that much in one sitting!" "At least in nearly all the worlds I went to."

"There is a note on the side saying that the amount produced was not in one sitting but preserved throughout 4 days." Fluttershy replied. "Along with saying that this human is a Mutant who has the ability to produce far larger amounts than normal."

"I've heard stranger. In fact… one of the few clear memories I have involves three men… Julian Alexander… a son of the Titan of Love, Aphrodite, as well as Kyrian Hunter… and Marius Valerius. Kyrian Hunter… was an ancient Greek General… Marius Valerius… a Roman General… and, as unimpressive as it may sound… Julian… was a novelist… and those three were the most normal in my life," Fengàri commented before he groaned.

"I wonder how much he would produce," he heard Fauna murmur softly. "Though the extraction process would be the most fun part," she murmured, still pumping his cock whilst staring at it.

"We're destroying that sample," Tara said as she took the tub in her magic. "In fact," The tub was engulfed in fire before a portal to a lava lake opened and the burning tub was thrown in. "There problem solved!" She said as the portal closed.

Fengàri Kattalakis cocked his head, having noticed a variety of scents in that brief moment alongside the ashy sulfuric scent. "Kiluea? Nice choice," he commented thoughtfully before he jerked as Fauna dragged her tongue over his cock from base to tip with a hungry smirk on her face. "Though short of time halting runes that halt time within the jug, it was the right move. No idea how rancid the first dump might have gotten… and there are some scents I'd far rather avoid," he deadpanned dryly.

"Those runes are standard for biological preservation of living samples." Fluttershy said as she glared at Tara. "You know that, so why did you throw that sample in a volcano?!"

"The simple fact is as you said this sample came from a mutant, anyone compatible with his genetics will become one when they reach their late teens." Tara said " the mutant Gene is carried in the mail part of the genetic code so I had to destroy that sinful you don't need another Screwball or the CMC running around!" Tara gestured to the place the portal had been. "What's even worse is when mutant genetics are exposed to Magic bad things happen, that's where Wanda Maximoff came from! We don't need another Nexus person in this reality Discord is enough!"

"How dare you bring my daughter into this!" Fluttershy roared. "Screwball may be different but she's still young!"

"Fluttershy there is a person pretty much exactly like Screwball where that man came from." Tara said worry was evident as her astral projection started to glitch out. "His name is Franklin Richards, a kid who can create a universe in his hands! I'm just worried that if another reality warper besides Discord or Screwball shows up the world will destroy itself! We can only handle a few beings that have the ability to manipulate reality outside of magic as is! What do you think would happen if a kid like Franklin met Screwball! Or hell have another kid who wasn't the child of a reality warper gain the powers and almost destroy the world in their childish playing!"

Fluttershy finally noticed just how bad the mere thought of something like that was affecting Tara as her astral projection almost broke up entirely. "You've seen it haven't you?" She asked as she hugged the Alicorn. "What happens when someone so young uses that much power without any control. That's why you fear it isn't it?"

"I saw a universe die because of that very senario Shy," Tara said as she gripped the kind vampony in a crushing hug. "I have nightmares of it every night." Turning to the others, she saw how her declaration affected the mood. "Sorry everyone,"

Fengàri hugged Tara, ignoring the fact he was as bare as the day he was born. "We all have scars, whether mental, physical, or emotional. Mental scars are often the hardest to help heal as they tend to be from traumatic incidents. For example… the one who sold Acheron as an Atlantean tsolus… the equivalent of a sex slave… was his uncle. All because of unrequited lust for Ash's brother, Styxx… whom was untouchable as he was the Crown Prince of Didymos," he said quietly. "Physical scars… they fade with time, but emotional scars are almost as bad as mental ones… in my case… I will admit that I tend to have loneliness issues… what memories I can pull up are not pleasant," he said quietly.

He saw Fluttershy's eyes widen as did Doctor Fauna's. "Huh… seems I'm picking up on some of Ash's memories… and his mortal memories aren't much better than what remains of mine," he commented thoughtfully.

Tara's projection disappeared as her body began to shift. "That won't be a problem anymore!" She said as she sat up and pulled herself out of the bed. "No matter what, nothing hurts my family which as you've seen I take seriously." She stumbled over to Fengàri's bed before hugging him tightly, not caring about the wetness and fluids covering him or the bed. "I'm more than glad to add you to my family, Fen."

"The strange thing is… I'm almost certain I did have blood family before the Collapse. Saw two guys chained up to a cypress branch… they claimed they weren't related to me despite sharing the same last name… Kattalakis…. call me crazy, at the time, I thought they were telling the truth… but looking back… I think they were lying… though I never saw them again after that night," Fengàri commented quietly. "Though as they say… there's emotionally bonded family, chosen family, and blood family… and you… I'd say… fall into the first two," he said softly.

A small smirk crossed his face. "But you and I are alike in being protective of family… someone fucks with my family… they'd better start praying," he finished.
