Tangled up in Ponytails

Chapter 4: Village in a shadows

I woke up to a shaking filly, Butterscotch had woken up at six in the morning having what seemed to be a seizure of some kind. The poor filly looked as though she was having trouble breathing. At that moment I knew I had to do something. I was scared for my new friend and I really didn’t know what to do. So i did the first thing i could think of,and scream,"Can I get a Doctor in here,”

Aurora, one of the ponies who I met when I was getting used to my eyes, came into the room and asked why I was screaming again. She saw the twitching filly and instantly went to get help. No sooner did she leave did both Phoenix and Dr. Whatever his name is came in the room.

"Don't try to hold her! You may hurt her if you do! Just keep her on her side, otherwise she may asphyxiate. She is seizing." Phoenix said as Mechnight screeched through his bag for something. He then pulled out a syringe of some sort, and said,"I need to get this in her as soon as she stops thrashing, it will help keep her from going back into an episode."

She thrashed about violently, her muscles pulling far more than they ever should.

I held onto her trying to keep her from falling to the floor. Her body was shaking like a rag doll as we tried to get her to calm down. This continued for a minute until she finally stopped shaking and spasming. Mecknight then placed the needle into her vessel and emptied its contents. He then pulled the syringe back and put a piece of cotton and some tape at the injection site.

"That should help her, there's even some pain relievers in it, to help with the aftermath, that being said, Phoenix, you may want to check for broken bones." He said as he looked at both me and her. His message was quite clear, and Phoenix sighed at the prospect of possible broken bones.

I scanned her with my eyes, the only thing wrong with her was some strained muscles. Her breathing returned to normal, and she was sleeping, but her face told of pain. Phoenix then walked over and checked her, and like the scan said, no broken bones, but she was quite warm.

"That's to be expected afterwards, her muscles just had a massive workout that may not have been the best for her. I suggest she stay in bed for a little, and we will need to get some meds or a potion to help curb any future episodes. I'm just happy she will be walking away from this, a lot worse could have happened, as I'm sure you're aware." Phoenix said.

“Will she have these a lot or are they a one time thing also does it look like she has ever had one of these befor or is this the first," I asked. Phoenix then looked at the filly and said,"that's something I can't answer, but to have one this young, it's either congenital or happening because of some head trauma in the past. Either way, it's a good possibility that she may have another." She said.

“Well I just hope she won’t suffer from this…” I said, hopeful, but Phoenix looked at me,"me too." Was all she said in a sombre tone. Something about it made me feel sullen. She left, leaving me with the filly. She also left a bottle next to the bed on the nightstand, the label saying 'anti-epiletic meds, once a day in the morning, taken with food and drink.'

Hmm I wonder if this will actually help her, I really hope so, I thought in my head. The label said nothing more than that. I then heard a bell ring from above and heard the shout of,"land ho!" At least I would be in town soon.

****************

The new town was small, at least the part that was near the coast. In the distance I saw it, a large and looming castle made with black stone and granite stood in the distance. Torches illuminated the outside of the place, the same ones that also illuminated the streets of the town. Butterscotch clung tightly to my side, leaning on me for support, as her legs were still sore from the earlier incident.

Virtuous walked next to me, looking worried at butterscotch.

“So where are we going,” I asked.

Featherlight looked at me and said,"to the pub to book rooms, I expect us to be here for three days till I can secure us a potions master. Fortenantly, I have a lead on one, but she won't be in town till the third day. Go around and get supplies that we may need after we all get booked in."

“Should I get better weapons to defend myself?” I asked. Hoping the answer would be no. But what I wasn't expecting was, “well, considering we most likely will have to use the siren's throat portal, i would expect you to get weapons. If you can, 60 cannon balls, 120 scattershot ammo, and perhaps half a dozen razor wings and hoof blades." He said, scratching his chin.

“Uh, how much would all that cost…”I asked, and instead of answering, a pouch was thrown at my hooves. It was full of premium shards, and it was heavy."about that much."

Virtuous waved her hoof for me to follow so I trotted to her and we walked through the town. Ponies didn’t seem as friendly as they were back in equestria. But I guess that is to be expected when there are so many crooked ponies here. That's kinda what you come to expect from equestria's exiles. Course, I think there was more to it than that.

“Um why are most of the ponies here so rude?” I asked. Virtuous looked at me and said,"well, that brand you have is one good reason. Not many exiles have a brand of humiliation."

“But I was told I would have a new start and not have my past drag me down again…” I said Hoping I wasn't lied to. She smiled and said,"well, that's not all a lie there, the first thing we need to do is remove that brand, fortunately, he knows how to. Once that brand is removed,you notice a whole different group from these ponies. Right now, however, they only want to do business with you and then get you out of their sights. Course, if they try something, well, I'm feeling peckish."

“Where do I get it removed," I asked, "I’d love to see my cutie mark again." She then just said,"well, a specialized potion master would be the most obvious choice. I've heard about a regeneration potion that can repair any injury that it gets applied to, but it's also kinda poisonous, if ingested anyway. Let's just say, the results that come from drinking this thing is a bit, explosive."

“Diarrhea?” I asked hoping it wasn’t actually that bad. My mistake,"nope...like actually gore flying everywhere...and seeking into the surroundings till the environment is nothing but something's innards...heard of caves that are like that. Nothing but the inside of a pony...and oddly, they can survive like that. Some have said that it's actually pleasurable, if you can believe it. Course, their appetite changes."

“Uh… Ok is there any other way…" I asked. She looked at me and said,"being reborn, now there are several ways to do that, but uh, then involves getting eaten, or something else. Unless you like stewing for 9 months in something's belly or uterine cavity, I'd take the potion."

“Does that mean I can be a filly Again?" I said. She chuckled,"well if that's how you want it, I can be you rebirther." Her smile was sly but genuine. "That being said, I'd rather you just have the potion, after all, the explosive result only happens if you drink the potion, this is more of a lotion.

“Aww… I wanted to be a filly…” I whined. She chuckled again,"yeah, I bet you would have been a cute one too. Oh well, dreams are dreams for a reason. Maybe I may give you a good one when you're not having a nightmare."she chuckled again.

“Well if there are any other side effects I am blaming you…” I said sulking about not being able to be a filly again. She just smiled and said,"come on, the shops should be around the corner my love." She did it in a voice that made me wanna melt, taking my mind off the conversation we were just having.

The shop in question was rather nice, and the smell from it was that of spices and incense. It was a simple wooden hut, however, that had some carpeting and some signs, all were simple, but effective. Virtuous stopped me from entering, however. "You may want to wait to enter till I get you introduced to the stallion inside, he was a criminal in daylight, and here he is just a simple shop owner, still, he doesn't like guards very much. Is that ok?" She said, sweetly.

“Uh, sure…” Is all I said.

I waited patiently by the door, and then suddenly heard a very...satisfying...voice come from behind me. "Hello, you seem a bit lost…" a mare had said. She was just as nice to look at, curves at all the right places, and green eyes that spoke of desire as if it was just a friend. I couldn't determine her cutie Mark, not that I was looking for it. Her purple mane seemed to shine in the moonlight, and her smile was sweet. Speaking of, her scent was enticing, and in ways I couldn't describe.

I looked at her confused, wondering why she was the only pony daring enough to come near me when I still wore the brand of shame. "I can help you find your way, you know, all you have to do is ask." She said it so sweetly.

“Um I am kinda waiting on a friend,” I said nervously. Was this mare on to me, or was she just flirting? Either way I wanted no part of it. Just as she started to say something else, Virtuous then came out of the shop with an incense in her claw, and the strange mare's illusion melted away. She was a succubus, but she wasn't very pretty to look at. She had large fangs and small claws, and she had a barbed tail that was leathery and short. Another thing was the extra appendage coming from her belly. Still, she had curves at least.

"Wow...a young one, go find another mare to impregnate and get absorbed by, harlot." She said, without any shame. The succubus just smiled and left without a word. Virtuous then turned and looked at me with a teasing smile ,"cant even leave you alone for a moment without you flirting, for shame."

“Well I wasn’t flirting if anything that mare wasn’t attractive to me, her purple mane was just too much,” I said. She looked at me and said,"true, but I have to give her credit, well, him credit. He definitely had the right curves. Too bad he wasn't absorbed yet, he would make a good looking hermaphrodite, like me." She chuckled.

“Was he friendly, or was he like one of those I hear about in old Equestrian myths?” I asked, hoping I didn’t attract something that wanted to hurt me. She looked at me and laughed,"friendly Isn't the question here, it's more like, did he want to seduce me to be absorbed by me and then get fused with my mind to where I'm a hermaphrodite. Trust me, a young nightshade succubus starts out as an Incubus, till they have their first time at least." She didn't need to say much more.

“Then why did you scare him off? I could have been more like you.” I said looking at her confused. She just looked at me and said,"fair point, course, I don't want to have to leave you behind for a month, more like a year, just to end up with a mare who wasn't the one I loved. You wouldn't be the same, you'd be two ponies in one body. I was fortunate enough to mate with someone who…"she started, and then looked somber, but then smiled and said," well, enough of that, time to go into the shop you big flirt."

I walked into the shop looking at all the cheap food and nick nacks.

“So what are we getting here,” I asked.

"We are getting supplies for the journey, or did you forget?"She said before beginning to list off the things that Featherlight had put on some list he had given her. Everything from hardtack to pickles, cannon balls to wingblades. The list was large, but the shopkeeper just kept nodding and eyeballing me. It made me uncomfortable, but I understood why. A moon scar on his forehead said it all, he had a run in with the lunar guards once. That was his mark of shame.

I walk close to Virtuous, like I was a shy filly scared of a stranger. As I did so the stallion said, “You kind of broke me, maybe it's time for you too see what it’s like. Gem Hunter get them,” no sooner did he say that, did a body fall to the floor, and a twisted smile formed on Virtuous's face. "I really was hoping that you didn't do that, but I knew you would. Not that you needed to, you're not the only one with a mark." She then grabbed his mane and pulled him closer,"I can let bygones be bygones, if there's a discount of course." Her voice was that of pure terror, but not in the victim, but the aggressor.

“Oh, You think there was only one…” He laughed as the beck door burst open and three Hellhounds started growling. Virtuous looked at them and said,"you do realise, I'm not opposed to meat shields right?" She continued to smile.

I had my wing blades at full mast ready to fight for my life once again, I then jumped to the counter and then I found a couple more bodies, and by found, I ment land on. Virtuous was busy, but they all were breathing, so something told me she wasn't going to kill anyone. That being said, I heard a growl, but it wasn't the hell hounds. I peeked up to see virtuous looking at her stomach,"well, that's interesting. I guess I'm hungry." The shop owner looked nervous.

"I guess you heard the tales then? Honestly, all the little annoyances you've done has made me work overtime just to get some stuff, and now I'm hungry. I suggest you just let us buy our stuff, with free delivery and a discount, or, I will eat you and your son can have the shop after I retrain these hellhounds to be lap puppies." She said. Something told me she was serious.

I stood there hopping I wasn’t going to see her eat a pony. But as I look to the door a white pony with red spots and a skull cut out to be a helmet comes into the shop it’s eyes locked on me, her leather armor clung to her body with shards of metal sticking out every other piece of leather.

Virtuous looked at her and said,"well, it's about time you got here, I was about to give myself indigestion."

“Well it looks like I was late, name is Rose Blood, how can I serve you,” She said In a voice that sounded like a zombie who had its balls cut off.

“Uh…” Is all I said.

“Well it looks like we have a talkative one,” she said as she smashed a roach that was scurrying on the ground.

Virtuous then looked,"well, I heard you were different from the others that wanted to join Featherlight's crew, but wow, you are something aren't ya. As far as what we need, this guy tried to pull a fast one and jump us. His hellhounds are at the back door, and I got him by his mane, as you see. He thinks he has a chance, how about you, like his odds?" She asked.

“Oh hell hounds I haven’t seen a poor diamond dog transformed into one of those for years.” she said happily. The question is why was she happy about it.

Virtuous just smiled and said,"I like you, now, what are we gonna do?"

“Well, I sure love my transformed mutts, especially ones that used to be sapient. She laughed.

She looked at me again.

“I take this, is the one who needs protecting?”

Virtuous then looked over and said," Yeah, she's great in a fight, but I don't think she's quite used to how things work here."

I get off the counter and look at the new pony. Her armor was made out of dried intestines and the helmet was a deer skull. She also had blads on her hooves made out of deer antlers. Something about her spoke of war and wrath, as well as a sort of primal nature about her. It wouldn't surprise me if she made the armor herself.

“Uh,” is all I said, quite baffled at her wear.

She looked at me and giggled, her sharp voice sounded like nails on a chalkboard.

“Wow, I take you’ve never seen a Blood Knight before,”

“Uh no, I don’t think I have seen a pony wearing their foes,”

She giggled again, not taking the insult. In fact, I believe she took it as a complement

“Well Not every one of us wears the vagina’s of the ponies The’v killed.

“Uh… I thought they were intestines,” I said nearly puking. Virtuous then looked at me and said,"you may not want to continue that conversation."

“Well I like pony anatomy and the innards of a ponies crotch interests me,” she said . Virtuous grunted,” at that sentence, as in disgust, but clever enough to be taken as a different kind.

"Well, that's definitely a blood knight for you, raised to make trophies from their fallen, and of course, they're great survivalists." Virtuous said.

“If you'd like, I'd like to get to see yours, I have never been with a bat pony,” She said sexualy. Virtuous then looked at her.

“I do not want to know what has been down there,” I said, bitterly. Virtuous smiled at me for that reply.

"Well, with that, can we get back to what we need to do? After all, I still have this guy's mane in my claws, and I'm still hungry, and waiting to get the stuff we need bought and delivered." Virtuous said, a slight bit of annoyance.

“Oh I’d like to see you eat him, maybe you could eat something of his first,” She said even more sexualy. Virtuous chuckled at that.

I look at Rose Blood Annoyed. “No She is mine, don't make her do gross things,”I said, causing Virtuous to blush.

"I'm glad you consider me yours. So, what do you think I should do then, my love?" She asked.

“Oh I know something we could do,” I said with a sly look on my face. Virtuous raised an eyebrow in curiosity.

“Oh goody I hope it's something quite foul,” Said Rose Blood.

“Oh it is,” I said even more slyly.

I walked over to the stallion and extended one of my wings towards his crotch, my wing blades nicking his testicals making blood ooze from them. He shrunk into Virtuouse, as he started to scream bloody murder.

"Well, that's a whole new level, guess you shouldn't have tried to miss with this little mare, now, I'm sure you know what will happen next when you don't comply with our simple requests." Virtuous said, a wicked smile on her face.

“How would you like to choke on your own Nuts,” I said wickedly.

“BITE ME”, He said harshly.

“Oh I will do more than that, hey Rose how would you like a new dildo." I said sadistically

“Oooh Toy I would love a toy."she said, playfully. Virtuous looked at him and said,"you willing to try this again, or will you find yourself without a specific member of your anatomy?" She was holding him still, waiting for his answer

“I’d rather die than give you fucks a discount,” he said harshly. The more I am here the more I hate you. I thought to myself, and it seemed that the comment triggered Virtuous,"well, I'm a bit pissed now, considering what we have had to do to get away from what you wanted to do to us, had we got caught, just to get to the point where we can finally make a deal, and your still doing this. I think I'm past reasonable." Just as she finished, Featherlight then entered the building.

"Well, harassing the customers again, you old brute? Guess you picked the wrong group this time." He said to the shop owner, who now had eyes wide with fear.

“You, it can’t be, you're dead,” He said, confused as to how he was seeing things the way they were.

“Death is a trivial thing to get past when you are what I am, after all, what race am I now?" He said with a certain tone I wasn't familiar with. Whatever it was, we weren’t sent here just to buy supplies, or that's what I felt like.

“But But, AWWWW…” He screamed as he was transformed into a Shadowling, which I could best describe as some sort of pony with shadow mane and tail, and glowing red eyes. The transformation was sudden, but at least he wasn't hiding what he was, also, Virtuous still had a gold of his mane somehow.

"Well, I'm glad we are done with the illusions now. Sorry about this bud, but I had gotten a tip about a scag who was doing things to his customers that he shouldn't be. The queen wasn't very happy when I told her someone was messing with her subjects' pockets." He said, a sly confident smile on his face.

Rose Blood Giggles and said, “Aw I wanted a new toy but this looks to be a more cruel punishment.”

“Here Compass take this Magnetite compass, and hold it for a moment, Virtuous, gonna need your help once Compass has the item." before my eyes the shadows then solidified into a compass in his hooves, and he handed it to me. A second later, I saw as Virtuous kissed the shadow, and his red eyes stopped glowing.

"Ugh, that's a horrible taste, bring the compass before I gag." She said. Moving over to me as she dropped the shadowling's body.

I then gave her the item she was asking for, confused as to what was happening. She then kissed the compass, then handed it back to me, saying," glad i didn't actually eat him, if his soul was that terrible tasting, his flesh would have been worse. His soul is yours, my love."

I took the compass, still kinda confused. Then, the confusion cleared up when I heard a voice come from the compass.

“Bloody hell what the buck just happened," said the stallion's voice from the compass. The suddenness of it made me jump, as well as who the owner of the voice was.

"Um, You belong to me you sick fuck you now need to obey my commands, so how does it feel to have your soul trapped in the compass?" I said, confidently and snidely. His comment was,"well, it wasn't the worst experience, for a moment, it was wet and warm, and smelled...interesting."

“Uh…” was my only answer to that, I was kinda jealous, knowing what he ment.

“Oh I am sure I can do that for you sweetheart,” Rose Blood said happily and kinda sexualy. Virtuous started breathing hard...as in a hot and bothered way.

I blushed at the way she was acting. “How would you like to take it to the bedroom,” I heard the stallion say.

Maybe that's a good idea, I need to have some relief from that intense moment, I thought to myself.

Only for the stallion to have read my thoughts like Virtuous. “Oh I’d love to watch.”

"Well, let's wrap this up...Oh, and Virtuous...you can go ahead and get something to eat, the one next to you, yeah, mass murder, has a execution order on him. Queen's orders." Featherlight said, pointing at the one called Gem Hunter. "Extra gold for you if you cough up a skull," he added.

***********

Soon I was back on the ship, my sweaty body rubbing up against Virtuous, she seemed to have a bit of an appetite for it, more so than usual, for I kinda felt a poke every now and again...She kept apologizing for it.

“Don't worry I think I am ready to move on to that now,” I said as I nuzzled her.

"Well,I'm glad you're ready, just do it when you're ready, my love, although I should do something so you don't get you pregnant, if you know what I mean." She said, almost daring me to have my way.

“What would be the outcome if I get pregnant, will it be a normal pony, or will it be an incubus?" She smiled,"well, could be a hybrid, could be normal, could be like me, or it could get absorbed and you'd be like me, either way, Featherlight wouldn't approve." She replied.

“Well I guess Butterscotch will have to do,” I said sadly.

"I have always wanted my own foal. But if I can't, I guess I’ll have to do without,” I said, still in the moment, and then I heard her say,"well only for now, once we get a few missions done, we can go buy our own home, and then, Featherlight will make sure we live comfortably as you and me fulfill your wishes my love." She said as she then placed the protection she needed to use. "I'm ready for you my love, just tell me what I need to do, and I'll be perfect at it." She finished.

“Tonight I want you to be in control, it’s the least I can do for passing out the last couple times,” I said, causing her to smile,"whatever would I do without you?" She said sweetly and she then penetrated my cooter.

I moaned as I felt her enter me, my heart beating faster as I knew what I was after, Oh, Please make me yours pop my cork, I moaned.

She stopped for a moment, “ Wait, is this your first dicking, are you sure you want me to take that from you,”

“Of course I am, Virtuous I love you, as I said if it were up to me I’d have a foal with you now.” I told her hoping that she’d listen, but she smiled. "That is one thing I can't do right now, but it's all the sweeter that you want me that much. How long do you want to go for?" She whispered softly in my ear.

“Well I want to stop before Butterscotch’s bedtime so she don’t walk in on us,” I said, she then smiled and said,"well I have that taken care of too, Feather light owed me extra for playing soul mover and executioner, so he's paying for a inn stay for her. She'll be fine." Clever girl.

“Well then let's have a night in the hay,” I said anxiously, she obliged and started on me, her organ expanding in mine, increasing the feeling. I wasn't expecting it.

Her dick rubbed my vagina walls with a perfect fit, the head of her penis hitting my womb as she thrust deep within me. I moaned loudly as my sensitive parts were milking her till I came for the first time in a month.

But I could tell she wasn’t done. She was going to go until she got done herself, and that might be all night. It looked as though she was going to last a very good amount of time when I was nearing my second climax.

Her claws itched a spot that I wasn't able to reach while she made a loud moan that sounded so pleased and so sexy that I could barely describe it with words. She continued to make almost wavelike motion on me, going steady and her smile was almost as intense as the look her eyes gave me. Soon an aurora formed around us and I then had the most intense climax in my life. The aurora intensified as my climax hit it’s peak. My vagina clenched tightly on her in the most pleasurable of ways, and my bladder for some reason felt as if it was full but I had no need to pee. But it felt pleasant and not annoying like having to pee was.

I then felt her peek at the same time, and suddenly, it made the whole experience amplified, as if I was feeling what she felt at the same time she was, and vice versa. The suddenness of the feeling made me quiver and scream in joy. My vagina squirted all over the sheets and so did she. My moan was very guttural and made me want more just listening to our sexual experience, could have made a unic aroused.

“I need more," Is all I said, and she smiled and looked into my eyes, kissed me deeply, "Well, if that's what you want, I'm sure I can go for a lot longer." She said before, kissing me once again.

“Oh I’d love that,” I said, as she plunged back into me. This time felt different, more intense, even she noticed it, but that didn't stop us, in fact, it made us even more lustful. It was as if every carnal urge inside me was unchained at last and nothing was gonna stop me. The pleasure was almost unbearable and was making me near another climax. The intensity of which was nearly more than anything I've ever thought possible for pleasure. It seemed as if Virtuous was in agreement for she had hastened her motions, and started to really work on me.

The only thing that could've taken away from the moment was the shadow in the corner of the room, I swear it wasn't there before, but that could have been a trick of the endorphin filled mind. Then Virtuous finally peaked, once again at the same time as me. This one, however, felt different, it felt like she had pumped something into me, which was also followed by a squeezing hug that ended at the same time she had stopped. It was followed by her going limp, still breathing and laying on top of me. I couldn't blame her, after the high, what was left was exhaustion from all the movement. I couldn't move, but I didn't want to fall asleep, still feeling her inside me.

“Vee are you okay, did I drain you too much?"and I was answered with a exhaustion," you are something extra special, I never thought I'd get tired from doing that, but wow, I've never been so satisfied in my life. I think I'm too tired to even exit right now. Mind if I pass out?,"from Virtuous.

“Well It's kinda uncomfortable but as long and it's your dick I’ll be fine with it." I answered, she smiled, and said,"I owe you one now, don't I?" She then fell asleep. She didn't snore, nicely enough, I soon followed, only mustering enough strength to move her to where she wasn't on top of me.

***********

I heard a faint heart beat echoing from the distance as fluid rushed around me. It was warm, and nice. Everything was dark, but it was comfortable and warm. I couldn't help but nuzzle the warmth and soft darkness around me. The entire place was like this, a place to feel safe, and to float without a care. Soon however, something told me that it was time to leave, but I didn't know how. Something told me that I didn't need to do anything to leave, so I waited.

Suddenly, the warmth I felt around me started to stiffen, and I started to get pushed by it, more build rushing past my ears and as it happened, the warmth that held me opened a passageway to light. The light was new, but something told me that the light was where I needed to go. The warmth pushed me closer and closer to the light till finally, I was bathed in it…

Then I woke up to something embarrassing.

A filly looked at me confused, her eyes looking to something behind me. A warm feeling between my legs and a sense of fullness told me what she was looking at.

“Moma why is the snake in the hole,” She asked, quite confused as to what was going on. Virtuous popped her head up and said,"Well, today is gonna be an interesting day." I hoped it was sarcasm, then I remembered what happened last night, as well as the rest of the day before.

Now this, not to mention what I'd have to do today as well to produce a clean skull for some money. First things first, the confused filly in front of me.

“Um, I think now might be the time for the talk Vee." I said I was kinda scared for my sanity.

Virtuous looked at me and asked, plainly, "the one about reproduction and all?" The face she gave me was rather simple...including the smile, sly as it was. "I know what you're thinking Vee but I don’t want to scare her with the birds and the bees. I was traumatized for a week when my dad told me about it.” I said

"How did he tell you, exactly?" She asked, and then said,"oh ah, Butterscotch, mind going to the other room for a moment, we need to get ready for the day hun. I'll make some chocolate pancakes if you do it quickly." She said with a smile.

“Well let's make this quick,”I said after Butterscotch had left. Virtuous then exited me and took off her protection, throwing it into the trash after lifting a few paper towels and placing it underneath it all.

“What was that?” Asked Butterscotch. Virtuous looked towards the door and said,"didn't I tell you to wait outside? I'm not gonna make those chocolate pancakes if you don't listen!"

“But But But…” Was the last thing she said before Virtuous took her to have the talk. She managed to grab the anatomy book on the shelf next to the door before she left.

*******************

Featherlight had his mate suit me up with a special suit, it was rather unflattering. Yellow and white…not my colors at all. "Why am I putting this on exactly? Can't she just yack up the skull, like an owl would?" I asked unceremoniously.

"Well, I wasn't the one who found a nice bounty just randomly, and after all that ruckus you girls caused, I had to pay damages to the son of the shop owner, so consider this extra work for that incident. You'll be safe in the suit, made from the best anti-acid wear made, not that you'd have to worry about your mate digesting you, Succubi have a way of dealing with accidental swallows." He said as Virtuous looked at him and said,"if I had just kept my gut under control during last night's debacle."

“Why the hell do you need a skull anyway?” He looked at me and said,"Well, it's proof of termination as well as the only way to claim Gem Hunter's bounty, which is worth 30 million shards...which is worth 60 million bits."

“Then why can’t just go to a cemetery and dig one up?” and again, he responded with,"cause they have ways to tell if it's a fake, then it would be our skulls they would be pulling out of something stomach. Now hold still, unless you don't want to breathe in there." He said as he started to nozzle up an air tube to the suit.

"Last thing to do is seal the helmet, but you need to drink this before we do that." He said as he pulled out a purple vial of liquid. The label said,"Shrinking potion, any size to tiny size, for those crazy nights." If this was equestrian, you'd be looking at the third most illegal potion out there.

"How do you expect me to pull a skull out of her when I am so small, Unless I have some sort of ant-like strength?" I asked, and then he turned over the bottle and it said,"the shrinkee in question will have full strength even in their small form, for extra pleasure as they struggle against your flesh." He then said,"I hate this potion, but it has served me far more times than I'd like to say."

“Fuck it,” I Gullped down the potion and Featherlight then place the helmet on my head, followed by a click and a hiss as the suit sealed itself around me. Moments later, I felt funny, as if the world around me was gonna get a whole lot bigger.

"Well My love you mise well get some pleasure from this, I’m going threw the back door," I said, Featherligh cringed,"I hope the potion lasts that long, it's a long trek to the stomach, but since it's you making the journey, it's your choice."

“Oh I have my way’s, Can you hook up an enema kit to get me there faster," as soon as I suggested that, Virtuous already had one set up,"I figured you'd want to do that, so I came prepared. Just a note though, still gonna have to come back up the other way though...try not to get too covered in last night's supper. He was good going down, I don't think it will be the same coming up."

She had a point.

‘Well, Lets just have you shit me out then I don’t need you tasting your own bile now do I." I said, knowing full well that it may take time. At least I'm gonna get more familiar with her anatomy. She then took me and placed me on the enema tube, and got herself ready. Featherlight then said,"oh this is a bad idea, but if it's what you two want."

“Lube me up and call me a dildo This is going to be a day I’ll remember." He did so and did the deed. The sudden rush of water around pushed me pretty far. Unfortunately, it made too much noise for me to hear how Virtuous took it. Well, not everything can be perfect.

I am so going to need another night after this, I thought to myself my crotch soaked even in the suit. The head lamp then came on and showed me that I had made it so far, I missed the shitty junction, and made it to the semi-clean section.

The water was rushing fast around me as it pushed me deeper and deeper into her bowels. But the farther I got the more I realized this was a bad idea. I crashed head first into something sticky, fortunately, the suit helped me from actually getting covered in it, but I was still stuck in the now sticky suit. But luckily for me the water was still flowing so I didn have to crawl as of now but I knew it would be soon. After passing a few more curves to be exact.

I had made it out of the large intestine and into the exit of the small intestine when the water stopped flowing as fast it still pushed me but not enough for me to not have to walk. Almost immediately as it stopped did the muscles of the intestine wall come down upon me, catching me, if not crushing me a little. This enema thing was a really bad idea, I should have listened, I told myself.

Well at least I’ll have a free ride out, Then I’ll literally be born on a pirate shit… I thought to myself. Well, that and I get to see a lot of what goes on in here. I looked around the pink tube that was her intestine and figured out how to get enough traction as to not be prematurely excrimated. Then began the trek to her stomach.

It only took me a few minutes to finally reach her stomach which was slowly filling up with water, or some sort of fluid that resembled it anyway. The skull was, obviously, stuck, but how it got that way was more obvious now that I got a good look at it. It seemed as if the opening to some other stomach she had [apparently she had three of em] had closed on it and kept it from entering the one that I was in. Now to get it unlodged so she can yak it up.

First thing was...how do I get up there to get any sort of leverage to dislodge it?

“I guess I’ll need to find a bone or something to use as a pry bar" I told myself, but as I looked I didn't find any that were not liquefied to the point of almost falling apart.

“Great now what, actually I think I know what to do, I can make her burp by disturbing her stomach. The question was how. Then I thought about something, she always had a ticklish spot on here belly. Maybe if I...

I started to rub a spot on the bottom of her stomach, and she started to giggle. At least I was able to hear it, but the action shook me like an earthquake. Keeping my balance, I kept going, till she broke out in hysterical laughter, followed by the build around me bubbling, and a healthy, loud, and rumbling Burp. The action caused the skull to loosen and the air leaving her stomach pushed it into her second stomach. Now was the time to get her to vomit.

I continued to rub her stomach hopping this would work she just continued to laugh, and occasionally burp. The fluid around however, began to worry me as it began to bubble more feverishly. Then I heard a voice,"my love, do you mind not doing that anymore, I'm starting to get kinda…" she started to breathe heavily again. I forgot that she gets hotblooded if I tickle her too much. Then I remember what happened the last time she got a little hotblooded, never thought I could watch something swallow a stallion so quickly.

Let's hope that not the case this time, I thought to myself. I then asked,"mind if you withhold doing that and take and get this skull out of your stomach?" She didn't say anything, but her stomach then began to lurch and move. Then I heard her vomit, kinda relieved that the lurch wasn't her stomach about to do it's natural intended function. The stomach then relaxed into its natural position. Now to get out of here before I get liquefied, though I doubt that it would happen, considering the suit hadn't even begun to break down.

Hopefully she can poop me out with the enema water. I started to move to the sphincter of the stomach, and almost as soon as I started to enter the small intestine did it start to push me, very rapidly, through her gut. I was happy I wasn't crushed, but the constant motion made me quickly feel sick.

I soon went flying out of her and onto a mat, and was immediately housed down. Then Featherlight looked at me and said,"Enjoy rubbing your mates' insides after going the wrong way on a one way street?" He did so teasingly. I was still tiny at this point.

“Can so one get me out of this suit after all that running water I need to pee…” I wined. He looked at me, and said, "yeah, just make sure you stay near someone, otherwise you could be rat food, or griffon food, never know where they are in nightshade, and they love ponies." He said, and then he looked up at the sky, as if to check.

"Vee can you take me somewhere I can do my business," I asked, and she picked me up and took me somewhere where I could desuit and do my business, but she was very suggestive after I was finished,"well, you a good size to have a bit of fun if you want."

“Um I think I’ll wait till I am full size again before some more fun…” I said, and she gave a smile and replied with,"aw, I was hoping you wanted to see what else I got hiding in me. Maybe I'll get you a temporary gender boosting or switching potion, if you catch my drift."

“I think a potion might be a little much for me," I Responded

Succubi when they wanna play, she just looked at me and smiled,"eh, a hermaphrodite can dream just a little. That being said, I may just get it for the time you may want to try something spicy. But for now, I can wait. Hopefully you get full size before we have to leave, otherwise the only safe way to bring you would be to do what I was suggesting. Not that I would mind, but I know you would." She said, shaking her hips at me while she did as she looked for a bottle of water, which she drank soon after she found it.

“Thirsty for some love?” I asked. "Well, if someone didn't find out my weakness, I would be more conserved right now, but something about you is just so….irresistible. I just want to do all sorts of things with you, all of them pleasurable, in my opinion." She responded.

"Well if pleasure is what you need I guess I can give it to you, But I don’t like being small…" I said. She looked at me and said,"well I don't blame you for that, that being said, I've done all sorts of naughty things while I was that size. I was a bit of a rebel with that shrinking potion. One of them was...well." she blushed thinking about it.

“Oh I bet if it's that bad I want to know,” I said flirtily. She then looked at me and said,"you know what you did to my stomach, I've done that as well, but it wasn't to someone's stomach. Actually I got paid well for it, it's called an internal uterine massage, and let me tell you, it has more than a few perks. Maybe I'll do that for you one day."

“I’d love that my love,” I said lovingly. She smiled and said, "well looks like the potion is wearing off, better get your formal dress out for you."

“Dress?” I questioned. She then responded with,"well, you're gonna see the queen of Nightshade, so a dress may be a formality, but she likes it when we dress up for her. If that makes sense. Course, you're also gonna be giving her Gem Hunters skull, so I tried my best to get it as clean as I could, was there any undigested flesh on it?”

“I don’t remember, " I said, realizing that I didn't check, and also how that would feel if I didn't, or how it would smell. I then started to feel different, as if I was growing to meet the world's size. Soon, I was a full sized me sitting on a narrow platform of a table. I was about to stumble off of it and fall, and did so till I landed on Virtuous's back...like a stallion on a mare.

“Oh This looks like it could be fun,” I flirted. She turned and looked at me and said,"you sure you don't want that gender transistance potion...be like a stallion for a few hours…"she flirted back. I couldn't help but blush.

“Mama you're doing it wrong,'' said Butterscotch,” She said as she walked up to us from her bedroom.

“Uh it's not what it looks like…” I said, blushing harder. Virtuous then said,"ah kids, I love em. Maybe we can do this later, I have to go get the little one dressed. See you soon, my love."

“Aw… but I hate dresses,” complained Butterscotch.

"I do too, but the Queen likes them, and wouldn't it be nice to see someone like that? She may even let us stay in the castle for a night. There may even be a feast that we could attend." Virtuous said.

“You got me, at the word feast… I want food now, mama", was all she said before Virtuous took her back inside. Hungry little one, I thought to myself. I then started to get dressed.

The dress was a tight fit but with a little help from Aurora and Virtuous I got it on me easily. It was a purple dress with black lace.

It was way nicer than what I normally had to wear. But I’d rather we’re my casual clothes than this any day. That being said, it was for a ruler that I had no idea who she was or how she was. Maybe it may just be better to wear the clothes than invoke some random rulers wrath.

After the dress was put on and we all gathered on the deck, Featherlight then said to us,"good all of us are ready? Well, here comes the cart, let's see what kind of mood our Queen is in, shall we."

As he said that, a very hellscapish cart was hauled up here by two creatures that looked like they came from hell. It was, very interesting.

“What are those,” I whispered to Virtuous, and she responded with,"Those are Nightborn,perhaps the most primal of the Nightshade tribes." She also walked up to one and scratched his back,"they are also the nicest tribe of us all."

“Well that's nice to know," I said in response, we then got into the cart and it started to move. Despite the outside, it was really nice inside. All sorts of silken pillows and cushions to sit on, all with all sorts of equestrian wood sculpting around. Almost felt like I was back at the castle."

"Well, I think she's in a good mood."Said Featherlight, who continued with,"I think we did a really good thing for her."

“If killing is a good thing… Well, I guess I have done quite a few good deeds…" Featherlight then said,"Well, killing isn't so much about good or bad, that survival, who ya kill, well, morality here is kinda weird. Did Gem Hunter die cause he murdered an entire town overnight, yes, but it wasn't you who killed him, and anyways, the way Virtuous was going, we all could've ended up in that stomach of hers if she got any hangrier." Virtuous blushed.

“Well I guess if you put it that way…” I said, as the cart started rolling.

“Mama I’m hungary,” Butterscotch said.

“Aw… Butters you're fine, you just ate three minues before we left,” I said, Virtuous then said,"three chocolate pancakes later and she's still hungry. I think she gets that from me." She then chuckled at the joke.

“Yeah I bet, the next stomach I am in is hers…” I joked. Featherlight just smiled and chuckled, and so did his mate, though you couldn't tell because of the mask. "Ah, well, I haven't had a makeshift family this nice in a awhile." He then said, continuing with,"honestly, you gals are nice to have around. The banter you have between you is not too rare, but rare enough to be enjoyed."

“Uh thanks I guess…” I said, then I let the cushions comfort me. Virtuous leaned over and said,"imagine if we had this back at home. Just a room like this, be nice right?" She kinda whispered into my ear.

“Yeah it would, but you know what would be more nice?” I asked. Virtuous then looked at me with a raised eyebrow. "What is my love?" She whispered.

“A succubus pillow,” I whispered back. She then smiled and said,"if that's what you want my love, maybe later tonight, I can grant your request. If you get my meaning." She smiled wider and seductively. Then Featherlight said,"well, I guess I'm taking our little butters and having her sleep with Blood Night again?"

“But I want to sleep with mama…” Butterscotch said. He then looked at me and smiled. He meant for that to happen. Virtuous just looked at him and shook her head. "Smart ass," she said to him. He just raised an eyebrow and said,"language."

“Butters Please let mama sleep with Vee…” I pleaded, Butterscotch just gave me a pouty face.

“No! Mama sleeps with me!” Butterscotch said, Featherlight raised his eyebrow at her, he didn't like the attitude.

“Well then no feast for you" Butterscotch's jaw dropped and Featherlight smiled,"well, then it's either no supper or no sleeping with Mama Compass, your choice Butterscotch."

“But….” She tried to say, but he looked at her and she pouted again, and then I replied with a, "Well If you’d like a nap sweetie I’ll let you use me as a pillow."

I then looked at her as she pouted, and she then said,"ok, that sounds good." She then proceeded to cuddle up to me and fall asleep. Featherlight then said,"well, you know, it may take us a bit to get to the inner castle, so naps may be in order. It's been a hard day for all of us." He said as he scooted over to his mate, she then moved her leg to the back of his neck and leaned him onto her chest.

“Well I guess a nap sounds nice. Vee, would you like to snuggle with me and Butter butt?" I asked, and Virtuous, with a smile, said."Well of course my love, if you wish, I could give you a belly to lay on."

“How about a massage?” I asked. She smiled again and said,"what kind?" Slyly.

“Well we have a foal in here so it can’t get too kinky,”I said, and Butterscotch looked at me.

“Mama what does kinky mean,”she asked, I blushed again.

Virtuous said,"Well, that's something for you to learn later, and a regular massage would be my pleasure." And she then started to rub my shoulders, and it felt like a release.

“Thanks Virtuous,” I smiled up at her. She continued till I decided to fall asleep. It felt nice, being comforted, after all, I was just in her belly. I still think the anal part was a bad idea though.
