Chapters Chapter 2: The pain of the past.
Chapter 2: The pain of the past.
After the whole argument with why Oakhearts back was wet, we settled on me just having bladder problems which were only half right. I have had bladder problems since I was a filly, but, not when I am awake. It was only when I had the nightmares that, even to this day, I can't seem to get past. That being said, I didn't think that I'd have an issue like this at such an inopportune time. Thankfully, S'mores and Oakheart were more forgiving than most, and more understanding.
I had been in the hospital for a couple of days, and things were going more or less smoothly. For a place that was supposedly understaffed and undersupplied, they knew their stuff, and they always had this one nurse near me. She was odd, and she always smiled. Her eyes were enchanting, and so was the rest of her. She was healthy, not skinny or large, and tall, much taller than most. It was intimidating, but somehow, I felt safe around her. I didn't know it, but that feeling was there for a reason.
Soon S’mores and Oakheart had come back, they had brought me food and for some odd reason clothes. Sure I had worn armor on the lunar guard but I had never worn many clothes. But these ones seemed fancy with armored pads built-in and many pockets. There was also the matter of the insignia in the chest region. It was that of a mares head, but it had sharp teeth imprinted in the mouth of the mare. It was eerie, but something told me it was just for show. It also had Oakheart’s and S’mores cutie marks on the sleeve. The fabric they were made out of was stretchy and plush it fit on me comfortably without causing any chafing. It was brought into the room by the mare who had been taking care of me.
The mare held the suit for me, I took it and asked for them to give me some privacy. The mare smiled and left, however, she stood outside the door like a guard. After I finished putting on the suit, she knocked on the door and waited for me to open it. And she then spoke for the first time since I met her. "Well, it appears as if the suit fits well, and I thought I had a good form. I guess it's time to introduce myself." She said, and she then added, "if that so pleases you?"
"Well go ahead, I’d like to get to know the mare who has been taking care of me," I said, curious as to why she spoke as she did. "My name is Virtuous Fall, and I have chosen to guard you." She said as if she was talking to a princess.
"But I am a guard of myself. Why would I need someone guarding me? I have been trained by luna herself." I said, minorly insulted somewhat. Virtuous replied with, "you are interesting, and in my line of work, interesting is a good thing. That, and, you haven't had a good few months, and my employer doesn't want a prospect to be lost."
“What do you mean?” I asked, confused as to what she was going on about. She just sat and stared at me like I was the only thing in the world that matters. "Let's just say, you're important to this dimension, and leave it at that." She replied. She puzzled me, but something told me to just wait and see what happened next. She then checked me over and began saying, "wings are good, you can use them now at least, no more rash, and your gashes have scarred up nicely, looks like you're gonna be fine, now it's time for you to start your new job"
"Ok, and what is that exactly?" I ask with a bit of confusion. I then heard a new voice, one that was deep and sounded as if it had its fair share of tragedy. "To be honest, it's to be a smuggler, and for what, healing potions." Said a red stallion with blue blazing mane and tail, swirls covered most of his body. His eyes blazed red and blue, so much so that you couldn't see the pupils. He continued with," my name is Featherlight, and I'm your employer, I hope you don't mind that."
“Well, If I did, I wouldn't be here. Back where I came from I had no life left here I can start anew. Become the legend I know I can be and not a broken mare who wanted to help ponies.” I said with the sorrow of my past spilling in my voice. He looked down, and sighed, "Isn't that the truth. Most of us in the Nightmare Runners are quite the same way. A Lot of exiles come through here if they're not swept up by the hunters first, and by hunters, I mean the Scourge Harvester kind." He said, slightly ominous and filled with sorrow with that last line.
“Can you give me some ideas of what we will be doing on this job and tell me about the crew?" I asked. He replied with," the crew is interesting to say the most. They are, by name anyway, Aurora Shine, Diamond Fire, Natches, Tola, and Spades. Of course, there's you and your bonded lot course, as well as me and Lunacy Heart. Shouldn't be a bad crew for the airship we'll be running."
“When will I get to meet them?” I asked as we were finally leaving the hospital. He looked at me and said, "soon enough, got to get Oakheart and S'mores and give them their payment for the potions. Course, I hope it's a good time to do that. This place can have a certain effect on married couples." He chuckled after saying it.
“Well, I guess now’s the best time there's nothing like the present my mom used to say,” I said, slightly blushing at the thought. He chuckled again, "your mom's right about that, course, moms are always right, aren't they?"
“Yeah, They sure are…” I said as we continued to walk Virtuous started to talk. "Well, if that's true for the married couple, then this other realm must be lacking in intimacy. Night Shade is rather remarkable at that, is it not? I wonder what would happen to myself if I ended up back in that realm, and what you'd think of me then." she gave a smile, one of amusement, or was it an invitation?
“Well if you're down I’d love a drink after being in the hospital." I asked, and the strange mare said,'' well if you wish for a hostess for you to imbibe alcoholic beverages near me? I'd rather enjoy that. I'd be honored to be your hostess." Smiling.
Featherlight chuckled and said, "well, I guess I better get y'all to the nearest inn then. Fortunately, I'm heading to the Nightmare's Wash myself. Got a day or two before we head off, and I plan on making use of that time since the crew is put together now. Oakheart and S'mores are also there I believe, so there's that as well.
“Well, then I’ll finally get to thank them for bringing me here,” I said happily.
We walked through the streets until we approached the Inn. It wasn’t that big a building, but it was large enough for a few ponies to be in. The smell of food wafted through the air, making my mouth water as we got closer.
Hmm, maybe I should get some food as well. It's been a while since I had a proper meal. I thought to myself. I may have said out loud though cause Virtuous said," if you require a meal, then I suggest you do so before you start to drink anything with alcohol in it, the result could be messy otherwise."
“Oh you think I’d puke eh, I have a what's the word of a stallion" I started to say, and Featherlight then said, "constitution, if I believe I'm correct. Still, she's right, without something in your belly to help with the drink, you end up with a bad hangover, and then you'll be late to see the ship we will be using, wouldn't want that, would we?"
“No sir…” I said kinda intimidated by the strong stallion. He seemed to notice," Well, while I'll take that as flattery, there is nothing for you to fear about me. I assure you this night stallion has nothing but goodwill towards you." He said, reassuringly.
“Now for some pancakes,” I said happily And started skipping like school filly.
We walked into the Inn. The music had a good beat to it, it reminded me of the time I went to see Pon3 at the dub hall.
The waitress came up to me. She was wearing a sexy get-up that captured her rear end well. If I didn’t have a date I’d take her to the back for a little romp in the hay.
“What can I get you, ma’am." She asked boardly.
“Can I have a set of pancakes and some cider?" I asked, and Virtuous then said, "I'd like a set of those pancakes, chocolate if you have 'em?" The waitress smiled and said, "yep..and got ya, I'll go get them." She left with a trot that was interesting.
I waited patiently for her to come back with my food. While I sat there Virtuous gently put a hoof and my back and said,
"Hey, I sense that you're not talking about something. What is it that you're thinking of?" She then looked at me with some concern, it was as if she could tell me what I was feeling. Something told me that was going to be a constant with her around.
“Yeah… It's just about my past. I really miss my friends and family,” I said with some sorrow in my voice. She patted my back and said, "I can sense that longing and loneliness seem to be a constant amongst even the hardiest exiles here."
“Do You know of anyone who can help me fix this loneliness?” I asked, hoping that she’d help me. She shook her head in response, and then said, "as much as it pains me, all my race can do is ease it, never erase. It is such a tragic thing actually, the thing we feed on is exactly what we hate, emotions are such manipulative things. Not that I can say much. Perhaps you would like me to share some of the chocolate that I'm about to acquire?"
“No thanks I think mine should be enough, I don’t need to be gaining any weight when I have a job that needs me to be in shape," I said as our plates arrived. The smell of the pancakes was nice, but what smelled better was the melted chocolate that virtuous waved under my nose shortly after.” you sure? I'm sure that it won't be that much on your weight, after all, it's better to get some weight on you with what you've had to eat the past few days." She said in a voice that was….tempting. Even more so than the velvety darkness below my muzzle.
"Ok but only if you can help me find a nice mare or colt to bed down with,” I said, taking the spoon full of chocolaty goodness she had dangled too close to my mouth for too long. The taste of the chocolate and bread was intense and was more than enough for you to have a moment of joy. Virtuous smiled and said, "Well, if it's pleasure you want, I can help you in many ways. So long as it's dignified. Which gender do you like more anyway?" She said with a smirk.
I blushed and whispered in her ear, "I love a good chunky mare,” she just smirked, and chuckled, "ah, I see, now that's something I may be able to help you with, you see, the waitress here is being a bit more friendly than usual, and she loves the feeling of chocolate." She said with brandish and amusement. She then continued with," but information like that comes at a small interest, perhaps after you're done with her, I can have some fun myself?"
“Well I wasn’t referring to her, I was referring to you…” I said Giggling. She smiled wider and said, "Well then, I won't disappoint you at that, and if you ever need a stallion touch, I can help with that as well. One of the many skills of my race. But tonight you asked for the mare, and I'll help you with that." She then fed me another bite of chocolate pancake.
“Well, you better hope you taste as good as these pancakes,” I said as I continued to giggle. She then ate a bit of her food, and chewed and swallowed, and then said, "Well, I'm sure I won't disappoint, but I think you'd rather get the feeling as well, won't you?" Her smile returned, and she seemed even more tempting at that point.
“Well I hope you like hard apple cider because that's all I drink for alcohol,” I said, my tongue catching on my teeth and accidentally biting myself. I gave a bit of a reaction to the injury, but before I could say 'ow', she managed to catch my head and give me a kiss, and afterward whispered, "oh, trust me, you won't disappoint, and I rather love the taste of apples."
**********************************************************
That night was amazing, she shook me all night long and did things I never thought one could do in the name of pleasure. My anus puckers just thinking about it. The weird part was, I felt as if she knew what I wanted from her, and she didn't disappoint as she said. Enough of that though, time to wake up.
I woke up and had her soft and smooth body next to me, and she was warm to be around. I didn't want to actually move away from her. So I didn’t, I let her keep me as the little pet she made of me. She then woke up and began to pet me as if I was an actual pet, scratching in a spot that I hadn't been able to get to for forever. The relief was nice for once.
"As much as a pleasure as this was, I believe we may be late if we continue for much longer," she said, smiling.
“Thanks for the good night and for reminding me of the fact I have a job to get to,” I said as I crawled away from her and fell on my face as I tried to get out of bed. Virtuous then climbed down and helped me off the ground. Smiling, "Well, I was sure I didn't break you now, though I'm not sure if you're gonna be sore later."
"Well do you want to shower with me?" I asked as I tried to regain my balance. She smiled and lifted me up and said," It would be my pleasure to help you. Come on, don't want to get to work smelling like me anyway." She then walked me to the bathroom.
I giggled and watched her as she got into the bathtub and turned on the shower, the water running over her body was so sexy. It reminded me of my old mare friend when she would act all sexy when she took me that first night. Damn, do I miss her and the ponies from home… But I knew she would be happy I am moving on trying to find a new start for me. And if this shower was going to help me get a new start then who am I to deny it now.
She looked at me and cocked her head to the side and said, "Well, are you gonna join me, or sit there reminiscing, the future is yours to hold after all."
I hop into the tub behind her, to which she gives me a view of her. It surprised me at first but I remembered the night before and how much fun we had.
“Um, as much as I’d love to take that beautiful plot I think I should just wait till after work till we have more fun. I don’t want to be late… sorry." I apologized. She chuckled and said," Well, I wouldn't worry too much, we are working together, after all, soon we'll be in the Mare's Knight airship, and it will be a while before we get back to this room. Not that you'll want to leave the ship once you're on it."
Her smile faded, and it was replaced with a scowl, and she sniffed the air. "You know, normally it's noisier than this in the mornings." She then got up and dried herself and checked the window, closed it, and said, "we need to get to that ship soon."
“Hey I haven't even started to clean myself,” I wined.
I tried to grab a washcloth to start but I ended up slipping.
“Ow,” I eeped.
I got back up to my hooves and grabbed the washcloth I was trying to grab before I fell on my ass.
“So are you going to let me shower or are you just going to stand there,” I huffed annoyed that she was acting this way? She walked to me and closed the door to the bathroom, and I saw the blades etched onto her leathery wings suddenly start to glint. Her face was serious, and she only said, "be quiet, no sound." Shortly afterward, I heard some glass break in the room we were in, followed by snarling, growling, and hoof steps.
Someone had broken into the room, and whatever it was, it caused Virtuous's behavior to do a complete flip. It shocked me.
I stood there, as I dropped the soap. I tried to pick up the sounds coming from the other room. It sounded a lot like a diamond dog's grave voice and growling. The question is why were they here.
"Scourge hunters, it seems as if the RF has a new underground alliance," I heard come from Virtuous, but her lips didn't move, and my ears didn't tingle from the voice she had. This was happening in my head.
I watched as her form started to change, horns began to sprout from her head, near her ears. A set of spines grew from every vertebra, and a set of fangs began to appear in her mouth. Her tail faded into a leathery whip that curled and moved like a cat, with a barbed tip at the end. Her eyes began to glow an unearthly color as it all happened. The blades equipped to her wings were more attached than they were before, fitting perfectly now. It looked like she was ready to eat something alive.
I spread my wings and went into the battle stance I was taught in the lunar guards. My teeth ground as my upper k9s sharpened like they do when I get mad or scared. If I was going to need to fight I know I’d need them.
The door banged open and I was then knocked down, my wet body clenched as I prepared for what was to come. What I didn't expect was the sudden splash of red to come gushing out of the doorway. I looked and saw Virtuous slicing the dog in half with a single swipe of her wings, a smile on her face that was far more terrifying than the act of killing itself.
The newly minted carcass then fell to the floor and she walked into the room and looked at the decrypted Pegasus that was now entering the room through the window. She then spoke,"Well, looks like you didn't have a fun time with your broken mind, did you. Course, what would I expect from a Scourge Hunter?" The creature then looked at her and said only one thing before she dealt a killing blow, and it only did so in a raspy manner,"blood."
The blade's wing sliced through the skull, and the hunter fell to the ground, his expertly bisected brain showing for the world to see. The worst part about it, however, wasn't the sight, but the smell. It smelled like a rotten corpse that had just released its internal gasses. Not a pretty sight.
“Uh…” is all I said.
I looked at the mess and thought I sure wouldn’t want to be the Janeter to have to clean this mess. I look at Virtuous who was still standing in the mess, her form going back to normal. She looked at me and said, "I was hoping you didn't have to see that form for a while, but I guess that having a bounty on your head makes it hard to do that." She said as she looked at a sheet of paper that was laying on the ground. It was laying next to the body.
She picked it up revealing her normal form's face. She then proceeded to turn the sheet over, and I saw my face as well, somehow someone put a hit on me. She looked at me and said, "this is kinda weird...how did they?" The question wasn't finished when the door opened and Featherlight walked into the room, he sighed at the bodies on the ground. He looked at the two of us and said, "bounty hunters?"
“It wasn’t me,” I said my voice cracking like a school filly who was caught with a colt in her room. He then smiled and said, "Well, can't be a good pirate without a bounty on your head, that being said, I guess we need to make you two disappear, pack your things, and don't worry about the blood, you can wash up on the ship.
"I don’t have anything to pack, the only thing I own are the clothes on the bed." I said, but he chuckled and walked over to the dead Pegasus, and uttered something before removing some kind of gear off the wings, "I believe you have more than you think, take, for instance, these razor wings. He isn't gonna use 'em any anymore, and he'll be dust here soon."
“What, how he was just killed?" I asked. I then looked over and notice that he was already rotting quickly, and was almost completely rotted away. He walked next to me and placed the Razor Wings next to me and said," such as the land of NightShade, where the dead rest in dust and blood never stains the streets for long. Get ready to go, I'll escort you to the ship."
I climbed out of the shower and put on my clothes and the wing blades, the cold steel was somehow relaxing on my wings, but the insignia of the weather factory drew my attention. Why would Cloudsdale be making weapons like these? More so, what happened to the pegasus that was trying to kill us, how did he get so rotted? He looked like the living dead when he climbed into the window, and the diamond dog, why was it acting so feral? I looked at Virtuous, and all she said was, "not even I know."
We walked out of the room, and my friends guided me three the in and out onto the street. The wind whistled through the building and trees as we walked. Ponies did their business and walked from place to place minding their own business… Well, all except one particular filly. She kept following us like a lost little soul searching for a purpose in life. My guess is she was an orphan looking for someone to take her in.
She was not well fed or clean, and she had decrepit clothing, and her orange fur was starting to look matted and in dire need of a good washing. Her wings were in need of good preening. She walked as if she was desperate and knew we’d be her best option.
“Um guys I think we have a little follower,” I stated as I looked back at the ragged filly. "Do we have room for one more?” I asked hopefully. Featherlight looked and then said, "Well, can't have dead weight, but, if she didn't mind getting cleaned and helping out around the ship, I'm more than happy to have another crewmate. Hot meals, clean beds, and of course, adventure, why not have a young one come along?"
I wave at the filly trying to get her to come closer. She seemed a little skittish but she soon found herself by our crew.
“Hey, there sweetie do you want to come with us. I’ll even let you ride on my back,” I told the young pony.
She looked up at me and smiled and her two front teeth were missing.
“Hop on,” I said to her as I crouched down for her to get on. Virtuous smiled and said, "Well, at least I know your good with kids." Featherlight just shook his head and replied, "Well, at least you two get along well."
More walking was ahead, and they're really wasn't anything of note until we made it to the ship dock, which was large and seemingly hobbled together. However, it seemed that it could hold more than a couple of airships, and it was more than interesting to look at with the different reliefs, and the lanterns of different colors.
It looked as though it was made out of old buildings and materials but in a way of an artistic manner. It was basically organized chaos, yet whoever made it was clearly a genius. Ponies walked up and down the dock, some waved at us normally waved back at by Featherlight or Virtuous. But soon we were stopped by some guards.
“Halt state your business.” Said a stallion guard.
Featherlight was the one who answered."Well, I'm happy that it's you two that guard my ship. But I'm sure that you two should know what I'm here for, Moonlight Blade and Star Blaze." The two guards then looked at each other and smiled, laughing once they couldn't contain their amusement."You know, we had to try once with you. After all, we wouldn't have these jobs without you." Moonlight said. Featherlight smiled and said, "Well, as I said, I'm glad it was you two. After all, who else but you two would take on blood hooves or timberwolves with such skill."
"You got that right." Said Star, whose female voice led you to know she was a mare.
*************************************
Aboard the ship I was greeted by a young pink mare, her purple mane hanging down over one eye and her smile is all that I saw before she turned tail and made me follow her.
“Right this way, miss Compass Star,” she said happily.
The filly on my back slept peacefully as we walked through the ship. She didn’t even seem to move in until we had stopped.
“This is where you will be staying if you want to bring your foal or have her sleep with the others is up to you,”
I looked back at the now awake filly and said, “I think I’ll bring her with me, after all, she is going to need someone to clean her.
The mare opened the door for me and I walked into the room. It was small but at least it had an on-sweet bathroom. I sat the filly down and let her wander around the room until I was ready to clean her.
“Hey, sweetie can you tell me your name,” I asked her in the sweetest voice I could muster.
She looked up at me and nodded. But never said anything.
I looked at her confused. And she pointed to her mouth.
“Are you able to talk?” I asked, still quite confused why she won’t answer me. But she nodded her head to my question so she was able to talk. She pointed back at her mouth. It took me a moment to think what could be wrong until she opened her mouth to reveal a cracked tongue and mouth.
I then asked, “Are you thirsty?”
To which she nods her head.
I smiled and picked her back up and took her to the bathroom. Where I filled her cup of water.
“Don’t drink it too fast. If you do, when you're parched you might get a belly ache later,” I told her.
Before long she had drunk three cups of water and was able to talk again. She told me her name was Butterscotch and that she would be more than happy to help around the ship.
Well Sweetie I am glad you’re willing to do some work, but I don’t think you’ll want to go looking like that. I said looking over her filthy body.
She looked up at me and said nothing.
“What are you, scared of the water? I asked her as she started to tremble.
“Yes, I am. Is as she said.”
“Well I can bath you if it makes you feel better,” I said as I picked her up and sat her in the tub.
“That would be nice,” Butterscotch said, still kinda shaking.
I started the water for the filly, I was happy the water seemed clean and not the usual rainwater we used in my days as a guard. And so seemed Butterscotch. The filly sat in the water and no longer seemed scared while I bathed her. But I could tell she was still tense.
“Hey, Sweetie are you ok?” I asked her while I cleaned her mane.
“Um, It's just I have been wanting this all my life… and now it is finally here for me. I just don’t know how to react.”
I looked at her and smiled, "what do you mean little one?" Asking as I gave her mane a good working through, picking out the mud and clumps of debris.
"I mean I have never known what it was like to have family, I have been on the streets as long as I can remember. I have seen ponies happy and I never truly was. I longed for it. But now I have something and I am hoping you’d be the one…” She said as she started to tear up.
“Well I know that feeling, I was an orphan also. But I had to relive my fears when they outcasted me. And now I am here. I have someone I love and a cute filly who needs a home. But what I have learned is in tough times you got to think positive even when you think it will never get better.” I told the filly in the tub.
She looked at me and smiled, and seemed to relax once I said it. I moved on from her mane after getting sparkling clean and began to scrub her body.
The cleaner she got the more scrapes and bug bites I found. The poor thing wasn't in that good of shape. I felt bad for her. It didn't help the fact when you could tell that she was malnourished and in need of a decent meal. Hopefully, you'd be able to rectify that soon.
“So sweetie after your bath do you want to eat? I bet the dining hall has some good food.” I said to her betting she’d be hungry. She turned to look at me with a smile and said, "yes, I'd love to eat something. If that's ok with you."
"Yes of course it's ok with me sweetie… the question is is it ok with our boss…"I said. There was only one way to find out, of course.
I continued Scrubbing the dirt from her hide. Some of it was stuck on like super glue. It made her tense when I scrubbed at it but I told her that it was the only way to make her clean. It made me feel all the more sorry for her though. Half an hour of hard scrubbing later, she was finally clean, but she had so many sores on her and so much of her fur had been taken away with the mud and scabs I scrubbed off, it made me feel horrible that someone so young had to endure this.
And some of the stories she told me even made me tear up. I took her out of the bathroom and found Virtuous standing there, keeping guard near the door. She looked over and said, "the boss gave us some cash for the little one, food and clothing, and maybe something nice if the vendors have it." She said, smiling with the good news she had, and proceeded to show me a set of crystals that reminded me of the night sky.
“What are these?" I asked. Virtuous then looked at me and said, "the primary currency of Nightshade, Night Shards. Supposedly they were created from a unicorn who cracked the night sky one night. Now it's just special fire opals or obsidian. Either way, it's pretty."
“Oh, so I take that my bits are useless?” I asked. Virtuous shook her head," when we are smuggling stuff, we can pass through Daylight, those bits are useful in trading with the vendors that will, but here in Nightshade, they are worthless. Vendors don't like gold here, it's too shiny for them.
“Well thanks, I might be needing these soon… well unless the food here is free,”I said. Virtuous, handing the shards over to me. Once it was in my hoof, I understood what she meant by being pretty, it was literally like a shard of the night sky in crystal form.
I take the crystal from her happy and me, her, and Butterscotch walk to the dining hall.
The Dining hall was massive and the smell of food made my mouth water. Sweet rolls, bread, various plants...and something that had a roasty toasty smell to it, smothered in some sort of red sauce. You could tell there were also potatoes, carrots, and onions with it, along with pasta of some type. You looked over to a table to find a Nightmare eating it, and as good as it smelled, it was best to avoid it, considering.
“Hey what's that,” asked Butterscotch as she looked at the food. The mare who was serving looked at the filly and then towards me.
“Um hi,” Is all I said. The mare made me look like a filly in size. She then just raised an eyebrow, and then said, "what would you like you two?" It was bland and not very happy.
Butterscotch was the first to answer, “Can I have a hay burger please!” She said excitedly. The server looked at her, smiled, and said, "why not little one, how well done does she like her burger?" She then looked to me for the answer.
“Sorry Miss I don’t know that question. I only just met her three hours ago. But I plan on taking care of her.” the mare looked at me again, and it seemed even more genuine. "Well, since you don't know, I guess well done will work. Don't need her getting sick on you, am I right? And how about you? What would you like?" She said and asked.
“A salad please and some milk for me and Butterscotch,” I said. The mare nodded and left to retrieve the items. The salad and milk were quick, but the burger took some time. That being said, once it got to the table, however, it looked amazing and smelled amazing as well, and there was a batch of fries next to it. On another set of plates were slices of chocolate pies.
“Oh wow that looks delicious,” I said happily. The mare smiled and said, "and it's free...so long as you keep that fact quiet." She said while giving a such
“Oh wow thanks ma’am,”
We sat at the table and ate our food. The salad was the best I had since my first date. It was a simple one, iceberg lettuce, some radishes, a good dandelion or two, all topped with a salty cheese of some sort. However simple it is, it was fresher than I ever thought, and the dressing helped round out all the flavors.
I began to think about the day's events. It had been an odd day. I watched ponies die. But also saved one from the streets. She may be young but I knew she’d be useful to us. Course, there was also the whole understanding her situation was also a factor.
She ate voraciously, and I understood why, and that one was staring at me, and I was kinda hungry myself. So I focused my thoughts on the salad. And as I finished the salad, my gaze returned to the piece of pie that was closest to me.
I looked over to Butterscotch, who had finished her burger and was smiling at me. I scooted closer to her and put my four legs around her giving the filly a hug. She then looked at me and asked, "are you ok?"
“Yeah, I just thought you looked like you needed a hug, plus you're just so cute.”
“Um, tanks,” she said blushing.
We sat there for a while with me hugging her and it seemed as though she was enjoying my company. And I knew I was enjoying having her by my side, I had always wanted to have foals but since I was a lesbian I couldn’t have one unless I adopted and my apartment wasn't suited for the adoption. I really miss my mare friend. I just hope she has moved on.
Soon we were eating the pie, Butterscotch wanted me to feed it to her so I did as she asked and damn was it cute. The one was creamy and rich, and the deep dark chocolate was like that of the chocolate pancakes, and I began to realize, the chocolate in this dimension was a lot deeper and darker than that of what I'm used to.
By the time we were done The mare from before came back and grabbed our dishes and said, “Did you enjoy your meal?”
Butterscotch was the first to answer, “Yes, It was the best meal I had in a long time… If not the only meal I had in a long time." She said whimpering at the end of her sentence.
Well, If your caregiver is ok with this I’d be willing to discount your food until that belly of yours is nice and round.
“Thanks, ma’am, I’ll gladly take that offer, you see I am new to this place and just starting my job.
She smiles and said, “I understand, that's why I am offering this to you.”
I cock my head and thought to myself, what is with these ponies and reading minds.
I and Butterscotch walked back to our room, where Virtuous was waiting on us. She had a set of bags and a suit on the bed. "Have a good lunch?"
"Hey, what are these, and yes we loved our lunch didn’t we Butterscotch," I asked
“Yes ma’am,” She said happily.
I walked over to the bags. "Clothing for the little one, till she grows some of her furs back at least. After all, we may end up somewhere cold at points on our journey. The boss wanted to make sure she was comfortable during those times." She said." and we are visiting the capital of Nightshade soon.
“Oh, did you get me anything?" I asked, acting like a filly myself.
“Well yeah since you're such a baby and have night terrors and wet yourself I got you diapers, that and this," she said right before she pointed out a coat that was made of Rabbit fur and a fleece of some kind. It looked to be made in some other country due to the style.
Butterscotch started giggling. To which I blushed like my first night at prom. It was the night I discovered my sexuality and the first time with a mare. It was also where I met my last mare friend. My gosh was that night was fun. But this moment I am in isn’t. It had to be the second most embarrassing thing that happened to me since Oakheart found me pissing in the forest.
"Hmm, try not to show it all dear, may give someone ideas…" Virtuous said, a sly smile on her face letting you know what she was thinking.
Damn and she knows your kinks. How could this get worse? Simple," oh trust me, I know more than just kinks, but that's not a conversation with our guest here dear." She said an even more sly smile on her face. Alas...succubus is in the mood. I couldn't help but blush, and she was eating up every moment of my humiliation. Her tail twitched like a cat would when it was playing with a toy.
I look at her with a sly smile forming my own. “Hey Butterscotch can you give us some private time please,” I told her being less obvious as possible, Butterscotch proceeded to walk out and Featherlight was standing outside the door. He took one look and said, "ill babysit, but be on the ship all the sooner." He closed the door and left us to it. All I heard from her was the question, "male or female this time?" Needless to say, the embarrassment of the moment quickly faded.
“Oh, I thought you knew my kinks.” I said, and she said, "oh I do...including future ones…" she said, looking like she was about to pounce on me. "So...about that question, Compass." Her smile got wider as she said it. You know well what I want. I want a cute mare who’s going to rock my body till I fall asleep. "Ok, I get that, but if you ever want something different for a change, I don't blame you for being curious," Virtuous said before doing her thing. She then decided to change, turning into a Moon Song look alike. She then smiled, "I hope you don't mind this, but I kinda felt like being different for a change, since you don't want to have fun with the male variant that I have."
“Wha Huh, How did you know, I have been thinking about her all day… I was hoping she moved on as I did…” she smiled and said, "my job is to know what you want, and occasionally tempt you to have that thing. That being said, reading your mind as your bonded is also part of the job. What I want is what you want. Course, I have my own reasons for keeping you happy.
“But the question is are you happy?” I asked, she smiled and said, "of course I am, I have a bonded who is kind, wonderful, and can be such a tease sometimes. The only thing I regret is that you won't let me show you everything I can do to please you, but I understand you're not used to that yet, and there is no need to lie to me about what you like, cause I already know. I can worry about that later though, cause this is what you want right now. Now the question is, who's taking the lead?"
“Oh, you know me I love a good dom.” I said and she replied with, "well then, get ready, cause I'm feeling particularly feisty, so there may be a bit more than normal. Now get on that bed, and open up." She said, a smile on her face, and her tongue hanging out. She crawled between my legs Smiling even more.
“Look, the baby wet herself how cute,” She said in a kinky voice being playful but not over the top that it was bothersome.
I looked down squirming at her hot breath as she teased me. She looked cute in this form, but it just wasn’t the same.
I started shaking like mad tears started to fall down my face as I thought of my life before and how I'd never get it back. Playing pretend wasn’t going to help me. I needed to feel the real touch of my lost lover, not Virtuous’s. My shaking intensified as she changed back into her normal form. Virtuous looked at me trying to read me as she stopped her activity.
“Oh, deer… Compass what's going on… why are you blocking your thoughts.”
I began to laugh hysterically, as more tears glided down my face. I was getting hot as I couldn't stop thinking about my home, My fucking commander, and what she said to me as her guards took advantage of me be for my exile. My best friend yelled insults at me, and my Mare friend’s tears as she was forced to watch it all so she wouldn't try to find me.
What have I become, how can I move on from this… betray my country even more than I did before?
Virtuous was trying to talk to me. But I wasn’t listening.
I am back to breaking the law. Fuck, my new lover killed ponies to save my life.
I gouged my eyes trying to get the memories to stop. But they keep playing out clear as day.
Blood cakes my hooves as I continue to tear at myself.
“Compass stop, please, you're hurting yourself,” I heard her say before I passed out. The burning streams of blood from my eyes fading into obscurity beforehand. Thinking back now, that may have been what led me to where I ended up. Either way, madness was more than just a comfort to me at that moment, even if there was more to what was happening that I would soon realize.
Chapter 3: Eye in the Sky
Chapter 3: Eye in the Sky
"It's ok, everypony that ends up here has a breakdown, especially what she's been through. Just relax, the operation was successful,so she should be waking up soon." I heard a male voice say,"that being said, she won't be able to see till her nervous system gets acclimated to the new prosthetics. You'll have to take care of her till then Virtuous, I'm sure I can work double time with the rigging to make sure she gets the care she needs." I heard a sigh come from a female.
"At least we got you on here, now I can keep our jobs and keep an eye on her. Still though, she blocked my thoughts somehow, not even alicorns have that ability. She's not just a simple bat pony, this one, I think she's descended from the original Nightbringer. That's the only way she could have blocked me." The mare said, slightly concerned.
"Then it's even better news, she'll be just fine in the end if that's the case. Just give her some time, and watch her. If she's a Nightbringer, then that would explain why she got exiled in such a manner. The question is, why would they continue to go after her, knowing what she could be capable of?" He said, puzzled and confused. "I guess we'll find out soon enough. Remember, 3 day travel to Night sky, then we get our job. I hope it's nothing too massive, there's a cute mare back home waiting for me." He chuckled and left, and I fell back asleep, never having truly woken up.
I had a dreamless sleep, but it felt as though I was sleeping for eternity.
“Hey Compass, wake up,” said a young voice.
I open my eyes only to see blackness.
“Huh, what where am I,” I asked, and heard Virtuous voice."You're on the ship, it's been about 2 days now. We are currently on the dark sky sea. Don't worry, Butterscotch is ok, and so are you." She said, and the sound of the sea and creaking of the ship confirmed it.
“Why is it so dark,” I asked, trying to find my bearings. I felt her grab me when I started to wobble to the side. She then said,"it's not dark. How much do you remember?"
“I remember our fun time but nothing else did you fuck me into a coma,”she chuckled and said,"I wish it was that. Trust me, I wish it was. Can you feel your eyes?" She asked me. The question was strange and seemed to have come from nowhere.
“Uh… I don’t know, I never thought about it like that,” I said, confused what she was asking me. I then took and held my hoof up to my eye, and instead of what I thought I'd feel, I felt cold orbs instead.
“What the buck?” I asked, as I kept feeling my eyes. The cold orbs felt hard and smooth against my hooves. Instead of feeling pain from touching my eyes, I instead felt pressure on my eye sockets. That's when I started to piece things together.
“I had another breakdown didn’t I?” I asked. Virtuous then put her leg around me and said,"yeah, but you're fine now, right?"
“I don’t know, I have had these for years. It normally results with me cutting myself,” I told her, quite shocked I did what I thought I’d never do.
I sat there thinking what could have brought me to do that. I hardly remembered what happened that night, The last thing I remember was her breath on my nethers than blackness. Now I am missing my eyes. Was it another dream… Or my memories. Either way, my eyes were gone, and they were replaced with something else. Whatever it was was allowing me to regain my sight. For some odd reason I was starting to see light and shadows.
“Hey Virtuous are you using magic on me? I am starting to see things.” I asked, somewhat hopeful. She the replied with,"no, it appears as if your neural system is starting to acclimate to the prosthetics
“I have Cybernetics?” I asked, once again feeling my eyes. She then said, "in a manner, yes. These are special runic eyes that are, in a manner, using the same cybernetics that you're probably used to, but they also use magic and moonstone to provide sight, in full color." She then scratched her head,"to tell the truth, I don't fully understand it myself."
“Please tell me I’ll still have my Night vision,”I asked, hesitant for her answer." "Yes, you'll have that and more." She replied.
“More?” I said questionaly. "If the eyes take properly, the moonstone and runes will give you aura sight as well as the ability to see underwater without goggles." She replied bluntly.
“Are there any other things I should Know like can I tell if someone is hostile towards me, or a compass that would be quite nice or some other tech that helps me use them?” She scratched her head and said,"not sure, moonstone is rather significant, so I'm not sure."
“Is there anyone I can ask?” I asked. "Yeah, that would be Mechnight. He's kinda of a loner though, the one that put in your eyes is named DR. Phoenix.
I tried to focus my eyes but as I did so I got an error message pop up.
“I think I am going to need help anyway. I don’t know how to focus on something. Could you go and get Mechnight for me?”
Virtuous obeys my command like she usually does and went to go fetch this guy that can tell me stuff about my eyes. A few moments later a semi-foul smelling and grumbling creature walked through the door.
He smelled like blood, like he just got done with a surgery. His eyes were crossed and he had a cutie mark of prosthetics.
“U-Uh Hi Ms Star, You wanted to know about the eyes you have?" A female voice from behind the foul smelling stallion said. The stallion turned around, and in a very gruff accent that spoke of harsh winters, said,"I don't understand how they couldn't be working, unless you installed them wrong Kirin."
I looked through blurry eyes trying to see what was going on. The mad pony or whatever he was seemed like he was going to break a blood vessel in his head.
“Um what's going on?” I asked, still confused as a filly with learning disabilities might be.
"Well, you say you have issue when trying to focus eyes right?" The stallion asked.
“Uh, Yeah?”
"Well, I'm trying to figure out why. My tech is superior in every way, yet here you are with issue, so the question is, could it be just a bad installer?" He said, his insinuation clear and blunt, like his english. You could hear an angry snort behind him.
“No, They are installed properly, every wire is in the proper place according to your book, So if there is a mistake it's yours,’ She giggled as the stallion's blood veins popped from his head.
"You even made sure that you didn't touch the small tab near the sight cord?" He said. He breathed furiously.
“Yeah I followed everything in your book as the instructions said. I am good at instructions, it's one of my many talents.”she said with a slight bit of amusement.
"Ah, so if I did this, it would fix it?" He said before applying a slight bit of pressure to my eye sockets...almost instantly, my blurry sight cleared up. It kinda hurt though, and it caused my nose to drip afterwards.
Soon after A menu appeared in my sight, it had a few boxes for choices, and one that said calibrate.
“Um what now, how do I make them work?” I asked.
"Do you see a set of words, including one that says calibrate?" He said.
I looked at the boxes and said, “yes.”
"Ok,now what you need to do is look at the box, and stare at it for a moment. It will autocorrect the issue with focusing
“But I can see fine now, well except for the boxes being in the way,” I said, kinda confused.
"What's going on, is that the eyes weren't set right. They will revert to blur if you don't calibrate. Trust me.
“Ok,” i stared at the box and soon after another menu appeared
There were now Boxes that said, new user, slight adjustment, troubleshooting. The next question was then answered by,"now go to New user, cause that's what I put for full calibration to irritate any thief that would try to steal and use my tech" he Said with a hearty laugh.
I look at the box, for a few new items in my vision to appear. One was a small pony with a health bar beside it, another was a compass, there was a detailed picture of what was behind me. Suddenly, I felt a small jolt in my eye sockets for a moment that made my nose really drip. Six more boxes appeared in my vision. The boxes stated what type of setup I want.
“Um What setup should I go for.” I asked, clueless as to what each one did. He simply stated,"the best would be the top one, Its at the top because it's the best one. It's also the one that is great for any trained soldier, health bars, injury reports, standard knowledge. Anyway, after all that, you should start seeing better.” He smiled afterwards, smugly.
I saw a blip appear by his form, and a box appeared near him that said aroused. I chuckled slightly at it, causing him to take notice and ask,"what, what is it?"
I quickly say, “Nothing,” and he gives me a stern look and the box said annoyed,”ah, wait, there is that feature, can't change it now, not that I mind it. Eh, what could go wrong with that info." He said, smiling somewhat mischievous.
Phoenix then jumped in and said, enough stroking your ego, time for her to get some more rest.
“But mama, I am not tired,” I said sarcastically, only to be met with the look of pure viciousness as she held a needle,"I can fix that." The box next to her said joking. I didn't get it.
Virtuous comes back in the room, “I’d suggest giving her the meds, Or i think we might have a mess, It’s getting close to her bedtime and the little filly needs her sleep," she said as a package magically appears. It was a brown box without any instructions or anything that gave any directions. But I still knew what was inside if what she told me she bought was true. I blush looking at the succubus, and as I do so a cold wetness forms on my neck. Phoenix was wiping me with an alcohol wipe and was about to stab me with the needle.
What have I gotten myself into… I think to myself, and I thought, well, could be worse. Then I get told,"oh before I give this, you may experience some twisted and erotic dreams." Phoenix said right before plunging the needle into my neck. I cried out as a sharp pain lanced threw my neck and a cold fluid entered my body.
*********************
In the dream world
"Compass, Compass," I heard a familiar voice crying out my name, It sounded like my Friend Valentine, But when she came into view part of her face was missing and flanks branded over with the same brand that marks mine. "There you are Compass, I have been waiting for you. Why did you leave anyway? You know what Rose Bud has done right?" She said to me. Her voice was calm yet cold, and she began to approach me. She continued to talk as she did, "she's mad, she's insane, what she did to you is nothing compared to what she's about to do to us. She's marked us, cut us, broken us. She singled me and Moon out and sent us away, I don't know why she has. All I know is that it started with you. She hasn't hurt Moon though, and she's done so with a reason."
I began to walk backwards away from her, breathing shallow and panicky as she continued to approach me."that being said, I don't know how long I'll be around. I can't protect Moon, and as it stands, she's in danger, because of you." Her leg began to separate from her body, and she stopped walking towards me when it happened,"so this is what it feels like, to be digested alive.."she said before laughing maniacally.
Val, Please you're scaring me, If you need help, there is a portal in the forest, there are nice ponies there, I am on a ship sailing to Dark sky city, and please Bring Moon with you. I miss her tremendously,” I Rambled trying to stay away from the decaying pony,”I wish I could've done that, but thankfully I'm not with her...or she isn't here with me. Either way, I don't know where she is, Compass, all I know, is that I am happy to see you one last time." She said as she faded away. "If You want to get out alive, run for your life."
“Val!” I yelled hoping she'd not be gone, but only heard silence. Black darkness was all that surrounded me, until I saw a shimmer of light in the distance.
I Started to run for the light as my time started to seem like it was running out of sand. I began to feel warmth and moisture around me, as well as something soft and squishy beneath my hooves. A burning sensation started spreading thru my body, It felt as if it was stripping the flesh from my bones. I began to panic as the soft squishy feeling began to spread to a feeling of being wrapped up in something's flesh. I got squeezed tight, my body feeling weak and I started slipping and I tried to make my way out but the light was gone. All that I could see was yellow fluid and darkness. Suddenly I saw some light illuminate the dark area around me, and I saw immediately what was going on, red flesh, slick mucus, and dripping gastric juices from the walls and ceiling, all pooling into the fluid beneath me.
I began to walk through the gross passageway, nearly slipping in a brown substance that looked like digested food of some kind. I stared at it, almost immediately regretting it as a unicorn's skull emerged from the gastric soup. It then spoke to me in Valentine's voice, “RUN!”
It didn't take me long to heed the words, and I started to run to where-ever I could. The flesh around me began to squelch and groan, and I heard the fluid bubble underneath me. Behind me, I heard the stomach walls begin to close in and mechanically work to help the fluid dissolve it's victims, making it all the more imperative that I had to run. Muscles tensed up with every step I took, and the fluid got more and more aggressive, making the already bitter smelling air worse as bile churned.
I took a step slipping down a passageway and into a broth like fluid, everywhere that it touched burned and fur began to fall from the afflicted areas. I tried to get up and found more pain on my front leg, pulling up my leg to find that my hoof had softened so much that it had fallen off, leaving behind only the flesh that it was attached to. The stomach walls were still closing in. A voice began to talk,echoing around me,"well, you've gotten pretty far, it's rather nice to have eaten someone who has that much fight, but I'm afraid it's all for not. Soon you'll just be nutrients for my next stallion to work off. It's been fun, and it's gonna be even better here soon." I feel my breathing getting heavier and the darkness takes over again. Then I was blinded by the light and all I could hear was screaming. The question is why does it sound like my own?
“That's when I hear, “Luna Damn it, can someone calm her down,” said a voice I didn’t recognize.
“Come on Aurora, why don’t you calm her down,” I heard the voice of the kirin respond.
I tried to stop screaming but it was like I wasn't in control of my body. It seemed as though I would never stop when a pink pony with a purple mane came in the room and stuffed an apple in my mouth.
“Relax Compass It was only a dream, Now would you be so kind and stop screaming,” She said, annoyed at me for some reason.
I took a bite of the apple and the part that wasn’t in my mouth fell to the bed I was laying on. The sweet taste of the juice and texture of fruit immediately stopped the trembling and screaming, but the dream still continued to play in my head. It was if it was on autoplay, making me feel and see everything, even while I was awake. Then I heard one more set of hooves, and suddenly, the horrible visions left me, leaving me only to see Featherlight in front of me, warmth coming from him. It felt like every ounce of terror and cold left me. "You're fine now, it's over, it's over."
I whimpered a bit trying to get the images out of my mind and soon had something warm cuddled me.
“Mama are you ok you scared me,” Said Butterscotch who was under my bat wing.
I look down at her, wishing she didn’t see me like this. The fear in her eyes was apparent and probably mirrored my own. The others around me staired, making me uncomfortable, at least till Featherlight gave a gaze of his own."That's enough excitement for one night, go to bed all of you. As for your Compass, do you think Virtuous can watch the little one, or do you believe that she can handle the contents of what you saw?”
Butterscotch stayed in the bed with me as she looked at me giving me a confused look.
“As much as I love her cuddles, I think it's best for her to not hear this,” I said as he picked her up in his wing. He then took her to wherever Virtuous was and came back without the cute little filly.
"I'm sorry for your loss, and, I'm sorry that you had to see that." He said, a true sense of sorrow in his voice. "I could sense what you had seen, as well as the nature of the dream, it's part of my nature, to find bad dreams and devour the fear from them. So I know what happened, and I also can tell you, our future job just got more complicated."
“Are you telling me you want to help me with finding my love?” I asked, confused. What he said next however, almost broke me." I hope you mean Moon song, because your friend Valentine...is dead." He spoke softly, and with more meaning than I could ever fathom. He turned his head slightly when he said those last two words.
I looked to where he was looking and my wing blades were folded on a chare. The logo of the factory was sanded off and now has Valentines Cutie mark painted in the place of it. "These wings once had the logo of malice and terror on them, and I figured that if you had something that reminded you of something to live for. That being said, it appears as if terror and malice have tried to break even that. What you saw in your dream, that was something that she has given you to try to break you." He said, hints of anger began to come through,"it makes me sick, creatures like that."
“Thanks, It’s alway good to know what you're fighting for, am I right?” I said.
He looked at me and smiled,"yeah, it's true, I was sure that you were gonna break down the moment you found out that she had died. Still, how are you holding up?c
“I don’t know, I feel like crap and knowing my friend died the same way that i could have in my dream is dramatising.” I responded. He looked at me and said,"yeah I get that, death by being digested by a dark succubus isn't exactly the best feeling in the world, even if it's slow, about a day's worth of suffering."
“Is this why Virtuouse is watching over me, to protect me from this monster?” He looked at me and said,"yes, that's one reason, the other is to help with quality of life while you're with us, which will be for a while." A smile happened to pop up on his face. “Say maybe you'll find love in her, or some one on the ship,” He said, as he left the room and for me to dive into my thoughts.
"Yeah, guess it would be nice to search for someone new… But what if we find Moon Song and she still wants to have a relationship then what do I do." I asked. He smiled and chuckled,"well then, there's always space on this ship for one more, that being said, can't have any slackers. Have a lot of hard work for you when you're able to start."
"Yeah, I am looking forward to that, I need to get more fit after sitting in this bed for so long.” I said as the thought ran through my head. He nodded and left to the wheel, and sat next to a succubus who was strange and somewhat different. She had a sort of leather armor that was black and not so form fitting. There was something ethereal about her, with her lavender glowing eyes and faint wisps of darkness flowing off her. She stood proudly at Featherlight's side. She had her face covered, but her ears were prominent and pointed. She had claws always showing and her leathery whiplike tail moved like a cat's. She was somehow beautiful in a way.
I stared at her stuplified and thought about what Featherlight said. He told me there was work to do so I should stop staring at her and get to work. He looked up and pointed at the moon, saying,"the eye is open, the moon is full, tonight we will be safe." He said with a smile, he then looked at me and said,"you can go to bed anyway, I forgot to say, unless you don't mind keeping course." With a hopeful look, he held the wheel with one hoof.
I walked to the deck where Virtuous was helping Butterscotch swob the deck. "How did the talk go with Featherlight?" Virtuous asked as soon as she looked at me.
"Uh good i guess… Apparently he has the same ability as you to read minds so I didn’t say much,” I said. Virtuous then tilted her head and said,"it's less reading your mind, and more sensing your emotions and seeing your dreams, if that makes sense." She looked at Butterscotch and continued,"it is how nightmares and NightStallions feed without actually needing to eat. That being said, dreams can only subsist them for so long, a month at most."
“Oh, your one smart filly,” I said happily.
She looks at me and say’s “Not as smart as I should be, I guess that's what happens when you don’t go to school" she said, as I picked her up and said, “Oh don’t say that about yourself sweetie, your a cute young filly who has a lot going for herself.” I said scolding her but also trying to make her feel better.
Virtuous then chuckled,"well, at least that hasn't changed much, though, I have to ask, how were you able to stop me from seeing your thoughts?" She asked me.
“Its something I have always been able to do… I lock my thoughts from myself so I stop thinking about it…” I said, looking away. She put a claw underneath my chin gently and lifted my head to look at her. She wore a warm smile,"nothing to be ashamed of my dear, just something that intrigued me, that's all. Never know, it may be useful one day."
“Useful it is…” Said Featherlight as he came out on deck. "But, it can also be harmful, the past does need to be dealt with eventually, but only when one is ready. Sometimes, it's the only way to find the strength you need to win the fight." He said, and finished with,"speaking of, sleep also helps."
“Yeah I guess I should try for more sleep even though I kinda just woke up…” I said as I walked back to my room.
Butterscotch followed me in for some reason.
“U-um, Can I sleep with you… I don’t like s-sleeping alone…” She stuttered out. She looked terrified, and Virtuous looked over and shrugged, saying she was fine with it.
“Sure sweetie, why not.” I said, as I picked her up and wiped away the sadness on her face. I sat her on the bed and with Virtuous’s help we were soon ready for bed.
She then looked at the two of us and said,"well, you two are so cute! I'd make some one off saying about how cute you two are, but I'm sure that Compass wouldn't like it. I'll go do some stuff topside, it's really hard to sleep for me tonight, I'll see you tomorrow morning." She said, making sure that the lantern light was not too bright as she left.
I kissed Butterscotch on the head and to which she giggled.
“Good Night,” I said I I dived into a dreamless sleep for the first time in my life.
Chapter 4: Village in a shadows
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.
Chapter 5 Stuck in time
"Dark Valentine, keep up will you? After all, I was gracious enough to rebirth you. And may I say, you look so much better as a halfbreed." Some mare said, shadows covered her body, leaving only two red glowing dots as eyes to stare at me. I then spoke, but it wasn't me talking,"But we’ve been walking for hours, my little legs can only get me so far…”
"I know you're lying there now, after all, Succubi are known for their endurance. That being said, we are almost there." She told me. She smiled with a vicious ranged smile. "As far as our stallion friend here, how are you dear?" She asked a placid eyed stallion who she had charmed.
"I am fine, we can keep going for as long as you want." He said, robotically. I looked at the stallion, feeling bad for him.
“Where are we going anyway?" I asked, and she said,"well, to a friend who really loves ponies." She chuckled as if she was clever. "Ah, a griffon friend anyway. They call her Widowess, but I call her Greywing. She is a merch, and she is quite the nice eater." She smiled again.
“And we’re going here, why?” I asked, and then got an answer I dreaded,"well, to go after your old mare friend and devour her. I know how griffons eat too. They love whole prey, and this one knows how to do that sort of thing."
Shortly after she said that, a large cavern openned up in the cave, and it the center of it was a female griffon who slept on a large mound of pony bones, fur, and feathers. She was massive, kinda beautiful, and had the prettiest silver feathers that would make anyone jealous, amongst other emotions. "Greywing, my old friend, I see you've been feeding well on the lonely travelers of Equestrias nighttime." The griffon opened one emerald eye and sighed.
"Well, if it isn't you, what do I owe for the visit my lady? After all, it was you who got me to this place, and allowed me to feed so well." She said, happy to just see an old friend.
"Nothing much, other than a job. My standing as one of the most powerful ponies has a bit of an issue. Let's just say, one of my mares let a Bat Pony slip back into Nightshade. She hasn't posed any issues yet, but her bloodline says she will. I want her dead, and her skull as a trophy, if you can swing it." The shadow one said.
I slowly backed out of the cave, but the shadow looked at me and said,"not yet my dear, don't want to leave your mom behind, do you? Mind getting the payment ready?" She said, motioning to the stallion.
“Why are you doing this, what did Compass ever do to you, all she ever was was a loving mare,” the shadow looked at me and said,"well, her bloodline is very special, she is, after all, the only one of her kind that can kill creatures like me. If I can kill her before she can end my shadow reign, then even the princesses will bow before my enchantment that I have been working on for so long."
She then turned back to the griffon after whispering something to the stallion, and then he started to walk to the griffon, who began to smile wide."Well, a stallion as payment, most struggle before I can do anything fun, so I have to cut it short and enjoy a meal. Having a charmed one is…oh, this mare is dead, as long as you can keep the toys coming, mind if I have some fun before I have the scent?" She asked.
“What are you going fuck the pore thing?” I said, and Greywing then looked at me and said,"does the halfbreed wanna watch? I assure you, it will be nice to have some company." Her sly smile was all I needed to know.
“I’d rather have my vagina shoved down my throat than to watch you,” I said angrily, and she laughed and said,"ah, not like I'd let you see anyway, Dweeb. Now the lady may watch, I wouldn't mind that." She smiled, but the shadow looked at her and said,"I would love to, but I still have my daughter to keep an eye on."
She then took and walked back on herself, and I followed. Then, the area began to shake just a little and then I started to hear the rocks around me start to crack and rumble. The shadow looked at me and said,"I forgot that." Then the ceiling started to crumble.
"What's happening,” I screamed, and then the rocks began to fall and the shadow then took and threw me towards the entrance of the cave, and rocks fell between us. "Good, I was worried that my little price of a soul would die, but I guess I overdid the throw. Be a dear and stay there will you, I still need you, afterall."
I walked away from the rubble not listening to the bitch that was speaking to me. I then looked through a clearing of trees and saw a beast of some sort, a dragon I think, beating on the mountain. He seemed to be using his head, and said,"ugh, my head hurts, I wish that I didn't eat that glacier pop!" I just shook my head, and started to walk, hoping I would find my way to Compass.
***************
I woke up breathing heavily, “Vee We have a problem,” Virtuous then looked at me and said,"What's the matter my love?"
“I think I have someone after me, some very evil pony.” I said scared. Featherlight then looked at me and said,"how evil, exactly?"
“Evil enough to kill a pony to find me,” I cried.
“Well that sounds like a lot of ponies,” said Virtuous, nonchalantly, then continued with,"ok, is it more like taking over the world evil or vendetta evil. And would she go as far as getting a Nightshade Griffon and giving her a metaphorical bone to go after you kind of pony? Because those are the worst."
“Yeah, it sounds like the story to me…” I said as Virtuous Started rubbing my back again. She looked kinda worried,"did you get to see who exactly was able to do that sort of thing, also would you mind not sparing the detail...Never mind." She said, ending with looking at the sleeping filly.
“Can you just read it out of my mind? I don’t want to talk about it…” I said starting to cry. She then grabbed me and kissed me, and smiled as she hugged me. "Sorry, something about it just gave me a...dark moment. Don't feel scared, cause I'm here to protect you girl."
“How are you going to beat her? She is far more powerful than you,” I asked, only to get a reply from Featherlight,"well she may come get me and Blood Night, and trust me, we are never far enough to not help you in time. Having a huntress and Nightstallion at your side grants you so much power. Speaking of which, this particular foe sounds quite strong. Did you catch her name?"
“All I know is that she is some sort of Mistress; a lady of sorts,” I said. Virtuous furrowed her eyebrows as she thought, and Featherlight put a hoof underneath his chin,"I don't know that one, which is bad news. Cause if i don't know that one, so this could be an issue. How about the Griffon that she sent after you?"
“Grey wing, she has a half breed daughter if that helps, ”I said,
“Well, the halfbreed narrows it down...however, it's not enough. Just a question, does the Succubus in question have red eyes?,"Featherlight asked. "If so, then I know why we don't know who she is, or why Greywing was willing to work with her."
“I don’t remember, I do know she was cast in shadows darker than the night sky, I remember seeing my hooves being a bright pink while hers being a shade darker with a scar on her fetlock. It reminded me of the brand that they gave me when I was exiled. But way more faint like she tried to burn it off." Featherlight shifted forward. He then asked,"was this lightened scar in the shape of a wing, or a backwards crescent?"
“Every time I tried focusing on it got blurred like the shadows would form something new. I saw three things, a bird, a cat, and some sort of cutie mark that looked like a star with a rose in the center of it.” I said. Featherlight looked confused, and said,``Now that's interesting."
Before I asked him what he ment, the cart door opened and a stallion then said,"welcome to the castle, gentle mares and stallions, the queen waits inside." He then stood to the side, and waited.
We walked out of the cart, more like I was guided out of the cart and the rest walked out. I then looked towards the looming Blackstone structure that was beautiful in many ways. Then the gates planned to see all sorts of guards of many different species, Succubi, Nightborne, Nightmares, Bat ponies, and even regular ponies. All smiled and talked like friends, and not one gave me a sideways glance. They just smiled and waved hello.
The inside of the building was just as awe-inspiring, with high vaulted ceilings and flags of many kinds, stained glass in every window, and again, I didn't meet any ponies that were like those at the village, they were all happy and kind. It reminded me of home, well, what was home.
“Well this is a change of scenery, ''I said as I smiled at the oncoming ponies.
No one answered instead we kept walking through the beautiful castle, But the farther in the less beautiful it was. Some cracks were forming in the walls and It looked as though this part of the castle had seen more abuse and wear.
We the walked to two large doors that opened to a sort of throne room, but it was strange. Trees acted like columns, and vines had culminated into a sort of throne that a beautiful, and really large, mare sat on.
Our team sat down in front of her and bowed so I did the same, and she stood, with mane blacker than night and fur redder than blood. Her cutie mark was that of a shadow and a crown. She wore a crown made of wood, but it was like the wood was golden and beautiful.
“Compass can you present the skull?"Featherlight said to me, and I pulled it out and presented it to her. She walked to me and said,"I'm sorry that you had to go through all this just to say hi, but without official business, we wouldn't be here. Thank you for eliminating a mass murder though." She said it in the most melting tones and voice. She was better to listen to than Virtuous was to mate with.
Damn I hope she didn’t hear that… I thought to myself, but by the heavy breathing that was happening next to me, I think Virtuous thought the same."Hmm, it appears as if she needs some alone time with you, don't you think. I have a potion that may help you get what she needs to have done, get done." The queen said suggestively.
“Uh…” I said as she looked at me with a very sexy grin. I kinda blushed, and then I heard Featherlight say,"my queen, you're getting sidetracked." She looked at him and said,"I am, am I. Well, all the lewdness aside. I'm glad you're here, after all, it wouldn't be right if the newest members of the Nightmare Anne didn't meet their employer." She said, keeping the voice.
“Mama what's going on, I see your mouth moving but no words it's like when you have your head between Virtuous legs,” She said. The queen smiled, and said, "it's a nice spell to have on hand, so you can have conversations without the little ones hearing it...though, I don't think it matters. And I thought I was kinky."
“B-butters S-sweetie how do you know this,” I stuttered supper embarrassed.
“It's hard not to know that, you're loud, and I had the talk years ago you didn’t have to tell me again…" Virtuous took one look at her and she stopped talking.
My Mouth dropped as I started stuttering like a little filly who had her dildo taken by her mom, “W-wha wha-a…”
“Yay I broke Mommie now how do you break a Succubus…” Virtuous looked at her again, this time far more stern, and then raised an eyebrow. "You know, I'm not opposed to using a shrinking potion and giving her a timeout she won't forget." Vee said, blatantly.
“Oh I Bet Mama Might Enjoy That! She went through the back door on Vee and then tickled her till she threw Mama up…” Butterscotch said.
This Time it was a Virtuous turn to turn into a babbling baby.
“Oh and don’t forget Mr Feather he likes being in tight places and not the kind you’d expect…” Featherlight got up, excused himself, asked for Blood Night, grabbed Butterscotch and left.
After about three minute they came back. Night was carrying a wooden paddle and had Butterscotch bound to a chair with her tail tied to her back.
“Wait what are they doing," I asked. Virtuous then looked at me and said,"It looks like they're gonna spank her for being, well, naughty."
Another young mare comes out from behind Night.
And Butterscotch looks at her wide eyed.
S’mores stood there looking at the troubled filly, “Young Filly, you may think I died, but that's far from true and that doesn't give you a reason to act like this.
Oakheart stood beside her with a scowl on his face as he looked at his daughter for the first time in years.
“A filly who wets the bed should not treat others like that." S'mores said, and Vee looked at her and said,"well, she's not wrong."
“How would you like it if you were treated that way?” S’mores asked as she took the pattle and slapped it against Butters bear flank. I then said,"I think only five good smacks should do it." The rest, other than S'mores, nodded. “Well She’s always had a lower pain tolerance then most so I think you're right,” said Oakheart.
S'mores nodded and then said in between swats. “If You (Swat) Can’t say (Swat) Nothing Nice(Swat) Don’t say (Swat) Nothing At All…” Butters didn't have a single mark on her flank, but she was crying. Featherlight then said,"originally this was supposed to be a reunion for her, but then she pulled that. I'm sorry my queen." She just smiled and replied with,"Well, to instill the idea of consequences for acts that harm another is a good thing, even in this seemingly lawless land. With all this said and done, now it's time to get to business."
“Please My Business End Has Had Enough,” Butterscotch pleaded.
“No I don’t think she meant that sweetie,” I said, returning my attention to the queen. She then said," As you well have caught on, our inter-trading economy with Daylight is all about potions. But we have no use for gold except as a way to help our smugglers with their expenses during their time in daylight. The real thing we go after in daylight is potion ingredients, as well as helping the exile find solace, at least for those wrongly exiled. This being said, a plague of sorts has erupted in our western fields of lightflowers, and thus our main component for our potions is in jeopardy. Fortunately, we have a backup plan. A set of crops in daylight may help supply our needs, but the passage is not an easy task."
Featherlight then cut in with,"the Sirens Throat?" The queen acknowledged him and continued with,"that particular portal is in the eastern sea, in the Dread Coast. I'd like to say it would be an easy task, but the sirens of that area have been restless. As a result, you have three tasks. First, get a shipment of the crop to us, then try to establish a trade route there. Finally, find out what has been making the sirens restless. I would trust no one other than the crew of the Nightmare Anne to do this sort of thing, as the pirates and bounty hunters you are. If there are any bounties that you find on the way, collect them if you please. Otherwise, no distractions."
“Well I guess I know now what we’ll be doing for the next week but there are some problems I have.”I said, and the queen looked at me, and asked,"what is it, I may be able to help?"
“Well I had a dream that my friend told me my friend was kidnapped and was hoping that I could rescue her before it’s too late…” I said, and the queen answers with,"well, I guess that would be a important thing to do, I wouldn't mind that to be a task if your friend is in that much danger, but please, we need the crop to continue our trading relationship with daylight."
“Yes ma’am Thanks ma’am,” I said, then she finished with,"other than that, I suggest you stay here for the time before your mission begins. A feast shall be prepared in your honor, of course, and I suggest the rest of your crew arrive to join in. That is all for now. May the moonlight light your path."
Featherlight then said,"and yours as well." He then stood and left, the others following.
I followed Virtuous to which she led me to our room. It was a very cosy room with a nice master bed, a dining table, and one sweet bathroom. She looked at me and said,"Well, I've been to some pretty ritzy places, but this is really interesting. Too bad this bed will have seen easier nights." She smiled slyly, and suggestively.
“Oh Vee what am I going to do with you,” I Smiled back, and she twitched her tail and said,"well, I have a few ideas…"she chuckled and held up a bottle. I kinda already knew what it was.
“Is that another shrink potion?” I asked. She shook her head and said,"nope, that's later, i did you, tonight, you're gonna do me." She tail twitched the other way.
“I don’t know if I feel comfortable doing that… I kinda like my gender the way it is…” I said, and Virtuous then smiled still,"eh, it's fine. I was just curious if you wanted to know what it felt like to be the one in, and not the one that has another in them. Anyway, it's a temporary potion, so you'd revert back in about an hour. I'm not the kind that forces something on someone."
“Well, I didn’t actually say no....”I said, and Virtuous then smiled again,"well, if you decide you want to do it tonight, I'll give you this to hold on to." She said as she held out the potion for me to grab.
“Well I’ll do it if you shower with me,”I said, and she looked at me and said,"sure you don't want to do it in the basically pool-sized tub I'm about to take a bath in? Trust me, it's better than just a shower."
“Oh well That sounds Like more than enough fun, I’d be puking, fun for weeks,” I joked. She then twitched her tail at me, and went into the bathroom, and started to fill the tub.
She then said,"warm water, or cool?"
“I want it as warm and loving as you,”I said, and she replied with,"I highly doubt you can handle that hot, but I'll get it as close as I can."
“Potion?”I asked, and then saw it on the desk next to the bed. "Nevermind, I found it."
“Well, do I drink it now or wait?” I asked. She replied with,"Well, it won't take long to get the bath ready, and it takes a minute for the potion to kick in, so now preferable."
I drank the potion and sat on the floor and waited for it to kick in, the after taste was like Vee's v, which was not bad. Suddenly, I felt an extra appendage coming from my belly, right between my legs. It felt odd to have it, but it was there. Then I heard,"Come on in now, I'm ready."
I climbed into the tub, and Virtuous then rose from being submerged to facing me, and she put her claws around me and squeezed. I then felt a pressure begin to envelope the penis that the potion had given me. That moment was even more intense than I thought it would be. Her smooth body began to rock back and forth on me, and the water flowed between us, amplifying every movement she made. It was like the entire ocean was screwing me, or was I screwing it, didn't matter.
Her muscles moved smoothly and her wet fur rubbed my belly, it felt like she was on top of me, not beneath me. Then her tongue entered my mouth as she kissed me, flowing like the water. The intensity of the feeling was greater. It got more and more so as she started to gear up.
“Oh Vee this is better than I thought,” I said. She just smiled and then returned to kissing me and getting me hotter. The more she moved, the better it felt, and the more I was about to bust. She then stopped kissing me and said,"oh, trust me, it's about to get a whole lot better." She then made a wave motion with her body and it felt as if her vaginal canal made a sucking feeling on me. It wasn't like anything I had felt before. It was more than I could handle, as endorphins started course through me in a way I never felt before. I got why she wanted to take a bath instead of a shower.
“Oh pony feathers, this feels good. Why did I even doubt this?” I said, only to feel her do another wave followed by a gasp and a "Oh." She then grabbed my hips and pushed me into her, and started repeating the Oh, each time getting louder and louder. She was about to pop, and I was about to as well. I had a feeling that it was about to get messy.
“I think this might have been a bad idea, cum becomes sticky in hot water… Your going to be rensing cum out of you for a week," I responded, but as soon as I said that, she made a large wave motion that made both of us pop. She groaned at the same time I had to close my legs as the pressure released and pleasure traveled through my veins like a drug. She smiled and said,"don't worry, I'll be fine, not like I don't want it in me." All, while her vagina sucked it from me. It was almost as intense as when she was screwing me.
“Wait, I thought you didn’t want to get pregnant?” I said, confused. She held me in her for a moment as I finished up, and afterwards, I got why she wanted to do that to me, the pressure around me felt nice. She then said,"I couldn't get pregnant from this, after all, it's a temporary potion of gender adding. That being said, I wouldn't mind it later. Wanna know something else?" She said as her tail wrapped around my leg and entered me,"I'm good with my tail too."
“Oh my that feels super odd,”I said.
Her tail went deeper in me making my back side clench. It was not a feeling of something I was used to. I had never experimented with my anal cavity. I guess now was as good as a time as any, and I guess that's what was gonna happen as she proceeded to make the wave motions on me again. All I could do was enjoy her affections and body, and sink into every kiss she gave. It was more than a little different for me, but I was just so into it. Then the potion wore off, and she removed her tail from my body, "it's been an hour, they might miss us at the feast if we go for too much longer," She said to me.
“Darn… I was enjoying that,” I wined. She cleaned herself and me, we got out of the tub and dried off, and then got ready to go to the feast, and after we finished getting dressed, a stallion then entered and said,"the feast is ready, you two, and the queen is waiting. Best get going soon." He then waited at the door to lead us to the feast.
“Um, what are we eating?” I asked. He turned and looked at me and said, "Well, we serve a variety, so, whatever it is you eat. Whether it is meat, or fruits, hay, vegetables, or whatever else, we have it."
“meat?” I asked, he then nodded and said,"mainly beef, sometimes pork, I assure you, the queen doesn't like cannibals. We do get some appetites here that are a little carnivorous. The weirdest one was the plant pony, although, I have to admit, she felt nice that one night." He grew a little starry eyed thinking about her. That let you know in what way he meant.
We continued walking for what felt like eternity. I was super hungry and didn’t like having the stallion looking at my rear the way he was. Then I actually looked back and saw that he was just daydreaming. I had a hunch as to what, and Virtuous looked at me and said,"wow, if you could see what he's remembering, you'd be a little, well, I guess the word is sick?"
“Yeah rather not…” I said in my head, meanwhile Virtuous just kept looking at me, and I swear she mumbled,"nectar as lube...interesting, but I'd rather not." We then arrived at the dining hall, and just as he said, it was loaded with all sorts of different foods.
“Hey Vee mind if you make the plate for me?” I asked. She nodded and then went to get me food. I looked for a good spot to sit and found Featherlight and Blood Night sitting close to Oakheart and S'mores. I then saw him motion me to sit in the chair next to S'mores. S'mores then looked at me and smiled.
“Hi Compass sorry about Butterscotch, She kida can get a little bit rude when she hasn’t had much attention. I also heard from Virtuous you knew Valentine." She said, I nodded, a little bit of a pang of sorrow hit me when she said Valentine's name. She continued with,"She said something horrible happened to her. I am sorry you had to see that in your dreams. But dreams are a good thing. They tell you what is going on in your mind.” I looked at her and began to cry.
“Well I guess I have a very Fucked up mind,”I said. She looked at me and patted me on the back and said, “You may have a fucked up mind but you have a good heart,”
“Thanks,” I said as Virtuous came back with a plate, and she smiled at me as she placed it on the table for me. She also had her plate and set it next to mine and sat down near me. You could tell which one was which, mainly from the steak on her plate. She then said,"hello S'mores, how was the trip?"
“Um, not bad, me and Oakheart might be having another foal.”
Oakheart’s jaw dropped, “You're pregnant!” He said happily.
“No I’m not sweetie you know I had my Ovaries removed after that accident with Aurora. Wouldn't want a repeat, would you my dear?" She said, Vee then looked up and said, after swallowing a piece of steak,"well, I guess that's why I'm not smelling you two as much, I guess if S'mores had her ovaries, the two of you would smell more fertile than two succubi in a village full of mares. Trust me, I've smelled it, it's rather nice."
“Its not that we hav’t had sex because we have, thanks to Aurora’s spell that can even make a unic horny." Virtuous then looked at her and said,"ah, I did pick up that smell. Just be careful, ovaries can grow back, and when they do, well, let's just say, I expect triplets." She smiled as Oakheart and S'mores started to sweat. She was enjoying this little game she was playing, but something told me that she has seen that sort of thing happen before.
“I think I’ll have a steak," said Oakheart,”
“Sweetie, I thought you said you were going to swear off meat.” S'mores said, Virtuous got a curious look on her face as she continued to listen as she ate. I dropped the bite I had on my fork when I heard the line.
Oakhearts necklace lit up and his form started to change. His hooves started to grow a hand like appendage and his face changed to look more like a monkey and his hat fell off his head. As his form changed so did his clothes, they became a fashion I have never seen. A hooded thick jacket with a pocket on the front and some sort of denim like pants. A set of glasses formed out of thin air and sat perfectly on his nose. His blue eyes now brown and full of a lonely ness I have never seen before.
He then put his arm around S’mores giving her a hug.
“Damn I missed this form," he said. My jaw dropped and Virtuous busts out with,"a human, now this is about the most interesting thing I've seen. Course, the most interesting thing I know is, well, I'm sure Compass would blush if I talked about it. Would that be adorable, yes, but I don't need to be in the mood right now, though I have something special for you later my love."
The voice of the stallion from the shop said,”Oh the things she has planned for you it’s so lewd. I just hope your little plot can handle it.” She turned and looked at the compass and said,"how would you like a timeout in my gut for a few days. I'm sure I can pass you, afterwards."
He then said, "Only if I can watch you try to shit me out,” she then grabbed him, and walked to the bathroom. She then returned a few minutes later, sat down, and finished her steak. One thing I didn't notice was the compass. When I asked her what she did with it, she said,"Wellj, let's just say, it's a bit sticky right "
The stallion then said," I can still talk, you silly mare,” only to get the reply of,"Well, at least I can do this to you in there." She then made her belly do some sort of weird wave motion and the stallion inside the compass said," Oh wow that feels better than my..." he started to say till the compass managed to come into contact with the expulsions that Compass had put into Virtuous. The stallion was not pleased, and somehow, it got him to stop talking in all but a muffled tone. Vee looked satisfied with herself.
“Hey Vee what happened to only me hearing him?" I said, and she responded with,"oh, only you can hear him, I just sense your annoyment when he speaks, and my job is to help you feel comfortable."
“What are you guys talking about,” asked S’mores. And Virtuous' response was a simple,"just the many talents I possess in the pleasure department." She smiled slyly, and looked at me and said,"Including a message I want to do for you tonight, if you're up for it."
“Oh would you mind if me and Oakheart join in on the action,” S’mores asked. Vee then looked at her and said,"sure, if your hubby doesn't mind small, wet, dark spaces that he had left some of his DNA in." She smiled wider,"I can teach him how to relax muscles that would have you begging for days for more of it, I even have a few more potions for just those nights."
“What do you say, Oakheart, want to be soaked in my wetness?” S'mores asked.
“Sorry sweetie but that sounds like too much for you,” Oakheart replied. Vee then smiled and looked at me,"eh, I guess the big strong man can't handle his wife's internal juices and flesh. Too bad, a good massage there would definitely make your nights, well, spicy." I blushed as she looked at me. Oakheart gave a face of defiance, with his manliness being challenged.
“Well if that is what my waifu wants then I guess I’ll go for it,” Oakheart said, and I knew right then and there that Virtuous was playing her game, like always. "Well then, once you're done eating, I'll teach you the basics of intra-uterine massage. I assure you, your late night love fests will be extraordinary." She then sat and waited on Oakheart to finish his steak.
“I am so glad Butterscotch is at her own table with some other foals… This would have been a super awkward conversion,” I said. Vee and the others shook their heads, and we finished up dinner. Which prompted Oakheart and Virtuous to go and prepare themselves. Oakheart looked very concerned, while Vee just smiled at me as she left. S'mores, however, seemed nervous in her own right, so I asked,"what's a matter? You look nervous."
“Well the last time me and Oakheart had more than the two of us in the room I was killed by Emerald Hunter… It left Oakheart in a very demented state. He hasn’t been the same since, he hardly ever uses his human form.” She said kinda nervously.
“Oh? You knew, Emerald hunter?” I asked somehow putting the pieces together.”
“Yeah I was in the massacre. He killed most of my family; the only ones left were Oakheart and Blue Coader. I was revived by a young filly named Cookie Dough. But what I didn’t know was that Valentine and Butterscotch were also revived. But I guess Valentines was just a waste of magic."
“I wouldn’t say that, she was a marvelous friend,” I said trying to cheer up S’mores.
I looked over to Vee who was waiting by the door.
“I think they're ready,'' I said. She then finished off her little piece of chocolate pie, and we got up. The first thing from her mouth was,"well, I can say this, he's a natural, from what I could see. Won't know till he's in ya and doing his job."
We then followed her to the room, and opened the door.
“Well I sure hope he can make you moan like my Vee.” I said.
She giggled and said, “Oh he’ll do more than that,” I then looked into the top. And saw him standing there with a bottom on his muzzle, he was holding it still. Virtuous then giggled and smiled,"well, seems as if your balance is working well. Maybe you don't get lost in your wife after all." She then continued to giggle.
“Hey Compass, would you like to get to know me better down below,” asked S’mores, followed by a very interested Virtuous peering at the two of us."Well, if you're talking about what I think you are. I may just have to listen from inside as your hubby gets the ride of his life."
She then took out a bottle of shrinking potion, and said,"now this stuff is a bit different, this needs a different bottle of cancel potion to revert to normal. Considering you two have never had this before, I expect an all night affair. Try not to fall asleep, I may end up getting stuck if you pass out." She then grabbed the bottle off Oakhearts nose and said,"bottoms up big guy." And proceeded to drink the potion and get onto the bed.
“Oh, wow I never thought I’d get to see the world from that perspective,” he said as the potion took effect almost immediately.
The two of them ended up being a size just right for what they where about to do. Virtuous then said, in a squeaky voice, that somehow was a luring as it was when she was larger,"ok you two, time to get in bed. Once your on it, we can enter and then begin. Please try not to slush us."
“Oh Oakheart, you look so cute,” Said S’mores. He blushed, and Virtuous nudged him and said,"well, she's not wrong." I then took and layed down on the bed next to S'mores and heard,"well, I guess it's time to see the inside, this should be interesting." I then felt her enter me.
“Oh Vee Squirm like a little filly who needs to pee." I said, but she did me one better and squirmed to the point where it felt amazing. I had to look at my belly to she where she was from the way she made me feel, and realized she was almost into my uterus, I looked over to S'mores and saw Oakhearts legs still poking out of her. She was giving the 'I'm about to bust' face.
The truth was I was about to as well, “Vee my goodness that feels like you're practically a vibrater in there." I said.
“S’mores how is it do you like it,” Oakheart tried to yell over our moaning. Unfortunately, she couldn't hear him and actually started to pop, with him in a dangerous spot. He got to feel the full brunt of her pleasure. Needless to say, he was a bit flabbergasted afterwards,
“I take that as a yes…” he said as he was squeezed almost out of air.
“Compass, you and your Virtuous have the best sexual techniques,"she said. Then I felt Virtuous enter my uterus. The sudden rush of excitement made me go off, and it seemed Virtuous liked it as she moaned inside me, and even went as far as rubbing me as I went off. Needless to say, it was more than erotic.
“Oh This one is going to be a big one." I said, and she started to really rub my insides. It was enough to make it happen. As I began to release some tension, she shot up into my uterus, and for a moment, she didn't move. I was kinda worried there, then I felt her start to massage my belly. The thing is, i don't think she used her claws to do it. I think she was a bit hot and bothered.
“Everything Ok Vee,” I asked and got a,"yeah, if I can keep my libido in check. I'm currently failing. It smells and feels so good here. And the way you just had your orgasm, I'm really horny right now. When I get out of here, you and I will be testing how well I do this massage." She then began to do it correctly, and it was so stress relieving. I then looked over to S'mores, and noticed that she had a bump right where mine was when Vee finally made it to my uterus, and she looked like she was about to pop again.
“Compass would you like to Grind against me,” asked S’mores. Vee then proceeded to really get me going, and I guess S'mores took charge there. Then suddenly, when she suddenly pop, Oakheart slid in and I heard him say. "Well, I think we need to get ready to make another crib, my love."
S’mores laughed and then responded with," already it must have a faster birth rate here. I guess it must be something to do with the change of magic.'' Then Vee said,"nope, even though you got your ovaries removed, they regenerated, so uh, you've been pregnant for about six months. Also, Compass, keep doing whatever it is you're doing, because by the moon, it feels good. I may start using my tongue here soon, actually." She started to use her tongue as well as her hips, her claws, and her belly. It made me feel really good.
“Oakheart are you about to cum yet,” asked S’mores
“Um, I think I already have…” He said. Then Vee then started to really wiggle and squirm, and then she made her way back to my vagina and really started to slurp at the opening right behind my hips. At that moment I was so doped up on endorphins that I the rest to the night became a blur. I then fell asleep next to S'mores to my left, Vee to my right, and Oakheart next to S'mores. All I know, was that I was so high off the endorphins, that it may have caused me to have a really weird dream.
****************
I woke up to find myself in a winter landscape freezing cold and damp with the melting snow that clung to my body, no longer in the comfort of my bed with my friends, I was very confused as to how I got here.
“Hello S’mores, Vee where are you?” I asked, but no one replied. The white snow still clinging to my body. I continued to walk to try to stay warm. Hoping to find someone or shelter. Then I found a cave that looked as if it was lit up inside.
I began blowing on my hooves and rubbing them together trying desperately to warm them up. After that I started walking towards the cave. I found that there was a fire in the cavern far ahead of me, which was wide open and with a ceiling so high that I couldn't see it, still, the cold beckoned me towards the warmth. So I heeded the fire's warm call to lay next to it. The warmth flickered on me like a dance, and the snow that was on my fur melted, and I started to feel warm again. Then I heard a rustling above me, I then remembered Vee and her tricks, so I believed she was right above me, about to pounce and snuggle me.
"Well, here I am, all alone, all lost, with no one to protect me, I hope no sexy succubus takes advantage of me." I said, and almost as I said that, I felt something tackle me and start licking me, I believed it was Virtuous, but all I know, is she felt warm and nice, and she was really good with that tongue.
She stopped licking me for a moment to see, but I didn't see a Vee, but rather some beautiful creature that was white with purple markings. She had a long and wide tail with a opening , claws of a panther, and the skin of a snake. She also had wings that where small, too small to fly, but big enough to glide. Whatever it was, it wasn't Vee, and that tail was starting to point at me as it moved between its legs to cover mine up.
"Uh hi,'' I said, confused as to what this creature is. It tilted it's head and smiled, licked its lips. I then felt my legs get wet as it's tail covered them. I then got pulled underneath it, then behind it, saw that it was female, and then it lifted me in front of it as it knelt on its two back legs. It started to pet me as it had its mouth open in a cute fashion. I felt a little woozy while it petted my head.
She then began to rub my temples and my face. Whatever she was doing to me, it felt great. I could feel the insides of her tail squeeze my body gently, as if it was just a caress. The wetness of her insides wasn't cold, but warm, and comforting. She continued to smile as she did what she did, then she grabbed my face and kissed me, and suddenly the dizziness turned into euphoria, making me giggle as my body started to numb. She returned to smiling and waited for me to say something.
“Uh…” I said, she responded by shaking her head at me. It was as if she was waiting for a question.
“What are you?” I asked, she then took a claw and wrote in the sand below us, Cybele, and then returned to smiling at me, the sucking of her tail starting to make me feel really good. She then drew a question mark with a S next to it.
“S, what do you mean?” I asked, only to have her point at the question mark and them me. She then did the hand sign for more. The sentence she was going for was,"do you have any more questions?"
“Why are you suckking on my waist,”I asked, and she responded with a point at me, then followed the length of her tail, then pointed at her belly. She then grabbed her belly, moved her hands away from her belly, but curved as to say that it was expanded. She then made the motion of rubbing her belly as she licked her lips. The then moved her hands back to her belly and then looked at me to see if I understood what she meant.
“You want to eat me?” I asked, confused. She nodded yes, but for some reason, the fact didn't cause me to panic, in fact, I kinda felt to good to even worry about it. She then returned to petting me with a smile that had a tongue sticking out.
“Well It's not the first time I have been eaten this week,” I said, she just smiled and shrugged, then the tail sucked me up to my neck, but she continued to pet me as if I was a pet of some sort, I then noticed the purple liquid that was dripping from her. Everywhere that it touched numbed, and it also made me feel good.
“Why does this feel so much better than when I was sucked up Vee’s ass?” I asked, she then pointed at the purple build and wrote, venom. She was making me this way, and yet I was fine with it. She continued to smile, and the tail then started to really suck on me. She was about to swallow me with her tail.
“You know this is the wrong tail hole…” She seemed to giggle at it, then she licked her lips and I felt the hole then pull me in, but oddly enough, her insides glowed a faint purple. Lighting up where I was going, till I found my place in her belly. Almost immediately, it felt as if her stomach walls started to push there way into me. I didn't want this feeling to end too soon, so I decided to fight the walls back.
“Your squishing me,” I said, but her stomach continued to press against me. There wasn't any hint of stomach acid, but the shear pressure was starting to be weird. I felt as if I should be feeling pain, but instead, it was overwhelmingly pleasurable.
"Double the pressure, double the pleasure…" I said, I decided not to fight anymore and I was happy I did, for as her stomach walls descended on me, the pleasure was immense. It seemed she liked it as well as I felt the gravity shift from below me to my belly, and it felt as if she was humping me inside her. It reminded me of the recent time I had with Virtuous in the bathtub.
It felt very strange, but what was more strange was the fact that I saw everything she was doing in my peripheral vision. She was rubbing herself, her belly, her vagina, her breasts, all of it. She was enjoying this as much as I was. Then I felt it, her flesh squeezing into me, I couldn't breathe, but felt so good. I wanted it to last, and it did, all to the point where I began to pass out. I was glad too as well, for the stomach acid was about to start flowing in.
“Mommie…” I said as I woke up from the dream, barely remembering what happened.
S’mores was squeezing me like I was some kind of plush toy. It was rather weird, but strangely comfortable. Then Vee looked at me and said,"you alright there?"
“I think, I just had a strange dream,” I said. She looked at me and said,"how strange?"
“Well I am glad we did this with Oakheart and S'mores. It was very Fun,” My voice cracked at the word fun sounding like a certain pink pony. Virtuous then looked at me funny and said, "I hope that dream was about me." I chose to ignore her.
S'mores then replied to me with,"Snuggly bat pony” She did it in a cute manner rubbing her head against my belly. Oak looked at me with a somewhat smug face and said,"Enjoying my wife…” I just looked at him and said,"considering, yes, I did a little bit." Oakheart smiled at my reply.
Vee then looked at everyone and said,"well, we better get up and get going, before we break out into a foursome, I mean, these are the beds to do that in, but seriously, maybe not the time. We have a potion master to meet, and Featherlight would be mad if we missed it."
“Vee mind helping me into my clothes?” I asked. She nodded and began to help me as Oakheart and S'mores helped each other do the same. Vee then said quietly,"well, we got a little wild last night, but just a question, what exactly was your dream last night. I've kinda learned that if your dreams are weird, they tend to be a premonition of sorts."
“What do you mean?”I asked, and she responded with an eyebrow raise and a dry,"griffon and Vore mare…"
“Do you know what a Cybele is?" I asked, and she responded with,"Cybele eh? I've heard legends of them. Think of them like cave dwelling female beasts that are very human-like. That being said, they are incredibly gorgeous creatures, but as with anything in nature, beauty is dangerous. They have very powerful and poisonous tails that they use to engulf prey and suck it into their stomach. They also have two wing located on their back that they use to glide or fly upwards for short distances, just to attach their tails to the roof of a cavern while they wait for prey to pass under. They can also grab prey with panther-like claws that have an extra digit to hold you down, though to be truthful, the claws aren't sharp or dangerous, just there to hold someone down. Another thing they like is licking things with their tongues to remove clothing or just to taste their victims, though I have heard of them having fun with stallions before."
“Well that's what I dreamed of…”I said, and Vee looked at me and said,"well, do you like Vore or something, also, that would kinda make sense if it was prophetic, cause we do have to pass by Cybele Mountain on our way to the Siren's Throat. I hope it doesn't mean we all end up in a Cybele's belly, though I heard it's venom induces euphoria by trading pain with pleasure so maybe not the worst way to die." She said that last part while holding her chin.
“So your saying we all might be killed…” I said. She smiled and said,"we all die, it's just, a pirate's life span is a bit shorter, but fill with so much adventure!" She said it so happily. S'mores and Oakheart just looked at her.
“Well if you say so…”I said. She just smiled, then we finished getting dressed. We all walked out and was led by a stallion to the entrance of the castle and saw that Featherlight standing there. He smiled when he saw us."Well, your on time this time, we got a bit of a walk to go, but we will be getting your scar removed here soon Compass. Better get started before she gets impatient." He said as he turned his back to use and began to walk. He was obviously heading towards the city.
“Well I think we are ready…” I said getting cut off by Oakheart.
"Are you sure your zippers, open,” he said.
"Vee! Did you do that on purpose?" I asked, blushing from embarrassment, she just smiled and said,"well, no...though I think it may have been a little loose. That or a branch snagged the zipper on our way out."
“Are you sure you didn’t do it to look at my cute Arse?” I asked and she nodded no. Something told me that she wouldn't lie about that.
“Can you at least zip me back up,” I asked hopefully. Vee then nodded and took and zipped me up. She did so nicely and then made sure that it was tight enough to not come undone.
“Thanks Love,”I said and then we continued to walk forward to the town. The town was, again, a stark contrast to the castle. Quiet and seemingly desolate at times, it felt very hostile, but the others seemed to be smiling and talking normally, if not quietly. They then opened a door to a house that had a sign on it. The sign said 'Huff n' Stuff' on it. It was a rather simple sign with a mug on it, stating it seemed to be a bar of sorts.
“Ooh a bar I’d love a drink…” I was cut off by Vee, who said,"well, it's not that kind of bar, thought some of the potions can have the same effect. Actually, there's a drunkard potion that some sailors use, and it's always hilarious…" Featherlight shot a look at her and she retorted with,"not that I'd ever use one..."
“Well I’d love to have this stupid brand removed but I kinda need-a pee…” I said, kinda embarrassed about that it had to be now and not some other time.
My stupid bladder likes to make me need the little fillies room at the worst of times. One time I was at a concert with Valentine and needed to pee. When all the portapotties were full. So I had to use the bushes and have a peeping tom watch me… Let me tell you that day was a day I’d remember for the rest of my life.
Vee somehow felt my discomfort I guess using her mind reading capability."if you want me to," she started,"I can protect you from anyone that would peep..I am kinda peckish…" She smiled and rubbed against me with her side. She was trying to comfort me. But it wasn’t realy working that memory was working it’s way into my mind trying to make me more irritable…
“I’d love that Vee, but this memory is something that really changed who I am…” I said my voice sounded like a kicked puppy. She looked at me with concern, and said,"well, I hope there's a bathroom in here then. Cause it would be rather rude to release your bladder in a potion master's home." She said, being coy at the same time. Her smile was that of a teasing school girl. It was cute, and I would have made a retort, if it wasn't for the pressure in my belly. Featherlight just shook his head and went,"come on, let's get you into the bathroom. I'm sure Zester Brew will understand."
“Gee thanks Vee,” I said. She just chuckled as we walked into the bar. The inside was perfumed with herbs and spices, as well as a nice floral scent. It was rather nice actually, and it was relaxing. Even Vee seemed to be enjoying it. Featherlight then motioned to me to follow him and he did so till we made it to an open room. He then pointed out the bathroom to me. "That's the restroom, try not to fall in the toilet, it does happen sometimes.."
“Uh thanks…” I said, as I walked in and closed the door. The bathroom was in impeccable shape..it honestly made me not want to use it for fear of messing up the bathroom. It honestly surprised me, cause not even Equestrian bathrooms were this clean.
“Vee! I need you… I don’t want to make a mess…”I yelled like a school filly voice cracking like mad. Vee the walked in with a teasing smile and said,"yeah, I was just told how nice these bathrooms are...But this is definitely something I wasn't expecting. How do they get this place so clean?"
“Come on… I need-a pe-eee,” I wined. Vee then opened a stall door to reveal a regular toilet, but it was immaculately clean. But not clean enough for me not to see in it.
“Ew, some pony forgot to flush…”Vee flushed the toilet...and then looked at me. Could you like me to hold your hoof too big girl?"
“Really now's not the time to tease…” I wined even more. Vee chuckled and said, "ok, get on there and do your duty girl, the sooner you're done the sooner that scar gets removed." She said, minorly annoyed, but still teasing.
******************
After the bathroom break, Vee and I walked back to the main room. In the center of it stood a pony that had a unicorn horn, but was utterly unlike any unicorn I ever saw. She wore a mask that hid her face, and her body was long and smooth, with markings that were unlike anything I ever saw. Vee seemed to be entranced by her,"hello, who are you now?" She looked over at us and took and moved her hoof to her flowing and strange mane. She then pulled out a bottle,"For the branded one." Was all she said.
“Okay?” I said taking the bottle.
Vee then grabbed the bottle and sprinkled a little on her claw and then rubbed the area with the brand. Almost immediately, I started to feel tingly wherever she put the potion on.
“Ooh Vee that feels nice…” I put my hoof over my mouth embarrassed once again.
The potion then started to glow on my backside, and soon after, the light faded and the brand was gone, completely removing it from my body. My cutie Mark was even clear as day, which was nice, considering that I kinda missed it. Vee smiled at it and said,"Well, that's cute, I like it."
The mark on my flank wasn’t the compass I was used to seeing, but a heart with a star in the middle of it. It was remarkably different from what I was used to and it actually caught me by surprise.
“Why is it different?” I asked, and the response I received was from the masked pony,"you are different, the cutie Mark is a reflection of you. You are different, and so is it." She said in an accent that you couldn't quite put a hoof on, it was like a southern islanders accent.
“Is everything ok? Am I changing for the good or the bad?” the pony replied,"don't know, I suppose that's up to you." She then looked over to a shelf and started talking in a language you didn't quite understand, grabbed a few bottles and items from that shelf, and walked over to Feather, who began to reply to her in the same language. Vee then said,"do you understand a word she's saying right now?"
“Um… No…” I said. Vee then just nodded her head and smiled, "well, I guess there's a reason for that, potion masters have more secrets than even a succubus would dare to keep."
“Um, that must be a lot because I know you're hiding quite a bit from me…” I said quite baffled. She looked at me and said,"well of course, and let's just say, my secrets are a bit...gut wrenching, in a manner. Anyways, you'll eventually find out about them, on your own accords."
“Well I might take those thoughts out from your mouth the next kiss we have.” I said lewdly. She smiled and said,"well that's a thought. By the way, I stockpiled a few more bottles of that potion you like, for more...adventure."
“You mean sex," said Butter Scotch being the little mischievous foal she was.
“You want another spanking little one…” S’mores said as she clapped her hoof in a spanking motion.
“NOOOO!” She whined. Feather just smiled and said,"well, I hope she learns to get better with that. Speaking of, are you and Oakheart joining us for the mission S'mores?"
“Why yes we were hoping to tag along, maybe have some more… Fun with Compass and Virtuous… She shot a glance back at Butterscotch. She just Shrugged.
Feather then turned and looked at the three of us, saying,"Now now, no pleasure games while we are sailing, at least till we dock in the various ports that we will visit. That being said, you're more than welcome to test potions if you want."
“But, heat starts in a week…" I whined. He just shot a glare at me that pierced into my soul. It was a chastising sort of glare, but one that I felt the heat of anyway. "No, 69, while sailing. It gets messy and I'm not gonna be the one that cleans it up. I like a clean ship, it makes life easier on everyone."
“Well it wont stay clean as long as Compass wets the bed,” said Virtuous jokingly. He just shook his head and said,"well no one but you two are sleeping on that bed, but still, that is a issue that will be taken care of, by you Virtuous."
Chapter 6, Cybele’s and Tattle tails
Something has gone wrong. We don't seem to have an archived copy of that chapter. Chapter 7 Till Death Do Us Part
Chapter 7 Till Death Do Us Part
The sound of gurgling in Vee's stomach helped me fall asleep, which was weird considering why it was gurgling. Not to mention how soft yet firm it was to lie on her belly as if it was a pillow, at least until it had finished it's job and started to return to normal shape. The growing pains, however, were not pleasant.
Vee then woke up and smiled at me, and then proceeded to wake me up by tickling my nose with her tail.
“Aaw Choo,” I sneezed as my mind went from sleepy to fully alert in seconds. She then got up as I was sneezing and began to kiss me. She then said,"ready for your part of the job my love?"
“If pumping my seed into you is a job then yes.” I said cutely. She then grabbed a bottle and said,"well then, maybe you need this."
“What I can’t hump you?” I whine. She then looked at me, looked lower and said,"oh yeah, that happened. I forgot." She said with a smile that made me more than just a little ready for her.
“Ready for my umm… I can't think of a name for it,” I said as I began to giggle at the thought of naming my fifth leg. She just simply grabbed me, pinned me, smiled and started to ride me like I was the sea. "You think" was her only words as she did. Once again,I was pulled into that sea of fur and flesh, but this time it was with a bit more pressure on my belly, which somehow intensified the experience.
“Oh Vee this is amazing, I can’t believe how good you are at this…” I said as another moan broke my sentence. Vee just kept riding me, her vagial cavity sucking on me and getting me really going. It seemed like the longer it went on the stronger the sucking got, and so did her movements. She then grabbed my front legs with her claws and used them to get some leverage on me.
“Vee is everything ok? You're not moaning as much as usual?" She just gave me a look that was that of pure lust. She wasn't moaning because she was in some sort of trance, and while it was more than pleasurable, there was something primal about it.
“Vee please tell me you're not soaking up the creepiness from Rose…” I asked, and it seemed to have broken the trance, she really started to moan and the, between moans, said,"Sorry about that, just had one of those...moments of just pure pleasure. Something about you this time is very, very good...may be the fact that your actually about to get me knocked up, or help me get that way." She then just moaned and rode me till we both started to go off.
“Oh Vee, you’ll make me need more just when I thought I was done for." I said, her insides starting to close in on me and make it to where I was stuck. She then started to pick me up and started to flap her wings. This was going to be an airborne finish.
“Oh I just love your ideas. Cuming in the air but not literally .” I said as I started to scream from the pleasure we both felt. Afterwards, she calmly landed on me and said,"oh wow, that was a lot more than last time. Definitely got what I need for our Rose Bud."
“Rose Bud?” I said,confused, and she looked at me and said,"the name of the child, if you don't like it I could think of another one."
“Its cute my love,” I said as sweetly as I could. She smiled back and said,"I'm glad, now if I could just get unstuck, it would make this next part a bit easier. Need to get dressed for the day. Apparently Featherlight needs us."
“Well you better not give birth while we go on this trip,” S’mores said, continuing with,"if I know how fast a rebirth is. Then I'd be worried that she would get eaten by a Cybele.”
The suddenness of S'mores entering the room made me put a little more in Vee, who smiled and blushed, sucking it up with glee.
"Also that was the most explicit thing I have watched since I walked in on Oakheart fucking the original Compass Star." S'mores said with a smile. Vee just gave a satisfied groan and said,"well it was better than it looked."
I then said,” You can join if Vee is up for it I am ready for round two…” I said. Ssmiling ear to ear as I felt Vee suck on me slightly.
“No, we need to get going,” Said S’mores, with a frown on her face that looked like it was forced.
“I know you want it, S'mores,” I said giggling. S'mores then shook her head and said,"you're gonna get us in trouble. Featherlight is on his way here with Blackie for some reason. So you two may want to stop soon."
“Oh maybe the Cybele will want to join. "
“What are you Drunk?” Asked S’mores Kinda confused, and Vee then replied with,"Sorry, I kinda have that effect when this happens. Once I'm up, it should be resolved." She said as she tried to push herself off me. By doing so, I got to feel perhaps the next best thing to actually cumming. That was the release of my member from her vagina, which came out with a pop.
“O-oh. Vee m-more” I said, only to get a cute smile and a,"i can promise you that later, let's get ready for the day. For all we know,Featherlight will make us travel to the moonpool on this mountain, which would mean trying not to be eaten by Cybeles, cause that's a mile away from the village in the orange groves."
“I need to pee," was the only thing that I said. Vee picked me up and walked me to the bathroom, smiling as she did.
“When will I stop being a filly,” I asked, no longer feeling like a drunk pony. She looked at me and said,"what do you mean, you're already back to normal?"
“Then did you grow…” I asked, she nodded," I did a little while I was sleeping. Guess that's my reward for eating such a strong fighter. Also, I've been eating well for the past few days, so that helps.
I was sat on the toilet and Vee watched me, “Um why are you watching? I thought you didn’t like stuff like this?” I asked, confused. She just tilted her head and said,"normally your right, honestly I've never had to rebirth someone before, and I heard for a period of time I may get the kinks of the ones I'm rebutting. I always thought that was an old mare's tale."
“Well I hope that’s not true…” I said, kinda concerned. But she just smiled and said,"it's only temporary, till I can fully cleanse the soul of sins. Maybe 2 days at most. Only the odd kinks though, not the really bad ones." She then sat there as I relieved my bladder.
“I Just hope you're not going to watch me every time I need to tinkle…” I said, and she just said,"I hope so too, cause that would be awkward for us both. I'll go away for now, and wait outside."
“Oh I thought you were going to wipe me too…” I joked. She looked at me and said,"um, don't give me ideas right now."
I just giggled and continued my business. After I was finished I walked out to see Vee waiting for me, as well as Featherlight and Blackie, who gave me a large smile. Feather was holding out a potion and Vee gave a look that said a lot, none of it good. They then saw me and motioned me over.
“Um what's wrong,” I asked. Featherlight then said,"well, it appears as if the Court of Nightmares heard of our little trip, as well as you two. They want to meet you girls, but guess where we have to go to do so?"
“I hope it's not back to that castle,” Said Butterscotch. Featherlight looked at her and laughed,"na not that bad, but still bad. You heard of the moonpool? Well they're more than just a pool of water, but actually a way to communicate with others who are at other Moonpools. Here's the issue, guess where it is?"
“The Moon,” I said jokingly. Featherlight laughed heartily,"well that's a good one, actually there is one up there. Doubt anyone uses it anymore. Nope, it's in the orange groves outside the village, in prime Cybele territory. Can you see the issue?"
“No, we have Momma Cybele to help us so what's’ the problem?" I asked. He replied with a straight face,"well, we will be using her for travel, but Cybeles don't attack each other, and won't interrupt if one decides to feed on someone that is on the other's back. The only kind that would do that is the Cybele's that have the black glands instead of the purple glands. I'll be fine, but you two, well, would be snacks to those Cybeles. Which is why I have this." He held the bottle up again. The label was different from anything I'd seen before. It said, simply,'bottle of life'.
“Uh? What the heck is that? That bottle looks familiar but oh so different.” I asked hoping it wasn’t something too bad. He looked at me and said,"well the truth is that this little bottle is perhaps one of the most powerful potions I have. This little thing can prevent all harm on one creature for 24 hours. Even if that creature jumped into a volcano and went swimming to the core, they would feel nothing more than a little heat and wouldn't even be harmed." He said with a bit of a smile.
“Oh? How is that even possible,” I asked. It was Branded that responded this time,"a little blood from something ancient, some mint and rosemary, and a lot of, and I mean a lot, or arcane magic." Featherlight looked at him with a bit of annoyment, having the wind taken from his sails. Branded then looked at him and said,"they asked, I answered."
"Nice part is, the potion has no side effects, like none, at all. Bad news, one creature can only use it three times. After that, they no longer can feel any effects. They become immune to it the third time." Featherlight said, regaining his composure.
“And we need this, why?” I asked, and he looked over to Blackie and said,``Well, the best way to travel through Cybele country is to, um, have a well trained one that can expel what it ate. That way you're not doomed to be digested, and you are in the safest place I could think of." He had that face of 'this sucks, I know'.
“How many times am I going to be eaten. I am getting tired of it… Is this some kind of joke?” I asked. Branded Steel looked at me and said,"um, I don't know about all that, but I will say one thing. You're not the only one that ends up in guts. Actually, a belly is rather nice, I've taken a nap in one...long story." Featherlight smiled and said,"I also figured there would be another reason why you'd take the potion instead of the suit." He looked at Vee, who suddenly figured out what he meant.
“Um Vee what's wrong why are you suddenly blushing?" I said as I did not fully understand what was going on in front of me. Hee then turned and looked at me and said,"Well,we may have some more alone time today, you catch the meaning."
“No I am not doing that..." I said I was quite disgusted, “I don’t need acid in my crotch let alone some other places." Vee then looked at me and said,"You're sure my love, you do realize that without subduing us, she can't start the digestion process, so there would be no acid, maybe some mucus, but no acid. Plus it's warm and it moves on its own, which can enhance some feelings." She said while moving her hips lewdly.
“Damn it Vee, your making me aroused, And this time I don’t want to be…” I said as my lubricant dripped from my body. She did one better and got really close to me and said, whispering,"just us, the sounds around us, her heartbeat, the pressure, and every little movement we want. A Lot of alone time."
“Vee…” All of a sudden Blackie grabbed the potion and stuck it into my mouth while I was distracted by Vee. The surprise of it all made me swallow the cooling but bitter brew that tasted like carrot cake. Then the Cybele smiled at me after I spat the bottle out, all of it causing me to say a few words before what happened next.
"Fuck Not this again…" I whined. Blackie then took and gently but quickly placed her tail above me, and before I could react, I went face first into the hole of her tail. I then felt my back legs, which were the only part outside of the Cybele's tail, lift off the ground. The flesh that now surrounded me then began to push and pull me the rest of the way in.
“Here we go again, The vore never ends,” I said. I then felt the flesh do what it needed to do, and a few moments later, I was in a very roomy and squishy chamber that was indeed covered in mucus. It was a lot more roomy than the one I had been eaten by in my dream. I could also hardly see anything but purple and darkness, but the heartbeat next to me was astonishingly relaxing.
I started Singing the song that Oakheart sang not even paying attention to myself, “The sound of every beating heart is music to my ears…” but as I sang my fear worsened as I was hit in the head by something. I also heard a gurgle.
"Don't have it be anything gross just make it something funny,” as i said that my wish came true. It was a dildo… “Great I bet this was Vee’s idea… I love her to death but man some of her kinks… But who am I to judge? I have to supper the odd ones as well…” just as i finished the sentence, Vee landed on me as she entered the stomach, and Her first words were,"well, may I say, that was not the worst thing in the world to have happened. Also, it seems as if I've mounted a Compass. How are you doing down there?"
“I think I found your toy,” I said annoyed at how flurty she was being but becoming even more aroused as she rubbed my belly."Oh, I thought it would be funny, guess it wasn't. Anyway, we are here now, and I can tell your thinking about it, so the question is, do you want me to ride, or do you want to be in me again?"
“I don’t know this is just too much to take in…”I said flustered. That quickly went away though when I felt her move on me. "Oh well, I guess I'll get my kicks later. Was really looking forward to some action here, I'm sure Blackie was too."
“So this was your idea… You told me I’d not have to do this again…" then she said, rather amused,"No, not my idea, that being said, I was gonna capitalize when Featherlight suggested it. Eh, such is life. Still, this place is comfy. It's like a waterbed in here, if the bed had motion that is. I could pass out and sleep for weeks here and wouldn't care." Vee said it with a strange sense of wonder that was different, but I could see what she meant. It was nice, the warmth, the heartbeat, and the squishy softness of the flesh around me.
Then a thought hit me, how is the air in here still fresh? I then heard another squelch as it seemed like the Cybele was able to get air in and out of her stomach at will. Something that somewhat gave me comfort, still, how and why does she know to do that?
“I guess a nap does sound nice,” I said as I cuddled Vee. Our body heat was making me sweat but a draft was starting to form in the Cybele’s belly making the air cooler.
Vee then put her hooves around me and snuggled like I was doing her. But as I cuddled her something warm poked my belly. It felt like the dildo but it was softer and warmer. I the realized what it was. The thought of it made me even more aroused.
“Vee, you seem a little more needy than usual. Is something wrong?” I asked, and Vee said,"I think it's that whole cleansing of the soul...I'm in nirvana right now and it's causing me to be, well as you said, needy"
“Well I guess we can… You know,” I said, still feeling weird as I said it. Vee just looked at me and said,"well, only if you want to do that. I mean, we are in a stomach after all. While it is comfortable, it's still a place that most would like to avoid." She said after turning a little and setting her head on a small outcropping of purple flesh as if it was a pillow.
“Aww I want to be your pillow…” I said, slightly hurt, she just smiled and said,"well, I need a body pillow to hug and snuggle, and maybe hump, if you want."
“Well only if you promise to help me fulfill a kink of mine…” I said, and she smiled and said,"hmmm, what kinda kink?"
“Oh you’ll see later," I said. She raised a eyebrow,” Oh why do I need to owe you, sex is sex right, and its not like this relation ship is ran on sex,” She seemed to get kinda irritated. She then smiled slyly and laughed. "The look on your face, it's kinda nice to see you care."
“Don’t do that, that is serious, and quite a bad way to scare me…” I said, and she gave a concerned look and said,"I'm sorry… won't happen again my love."She then reached a claw out and began to rub my head, and played with my mane."
I relaxed a little into her letting her rub my head and also have her calm down as well. She smiled and said,"well at least we have this right? The sex is nice sometimes, but the cuddles are nice as well." She then snuggled up next to me and continued to hug and caress me. The sound of the Cybele's heartbeat was quiet next to her, and all other sounds no longer existed to me.
“What do we do if we need to use the restroom?” I asked hoping she was going to say what I thought. She then smiled and said,"well, I believe you already know the answer to that. Which one is it?"
“I think I’ll hold it…”I said, she chuckled and said,"I don't think she cares that much, remember what she eats. Give ya a hint, they do the same thing we do. I'm sure it will be fine."
“Thanks for the reminder how gross this is…” I whined. She laughed loudly,"I have a habit of that. Well, just wanna relax or what do you want to do my love?"
“I guess I’ll shit. Maybe some horse apples will help the smell here…” Vee just looked at me and said,"sure, and they won't get dissolved instantly and sent through her intestine to be absorbed."
“Don’t remind me… I am grossed out by this enough as is…” I said, only to get told,"well, I'll tell you one thing, you won't get sick in here, most germs can't handle the environment of the gut, simply because of how harsh it is, technically, until the potion wears off, this is the safest place in the world“
"How long does it take to wear off? I don’t need to be aroused any more than I am that or killed…" I said and she said,"well 24 hours after taking it, that being said, the aroused part does sound nice, cause well, what happens when it does happen. The death part, well, I heard that being digested by the Cybele isn't that bad, euphoric actually."
"I think I’d rather have you rebirth me," I said jokingly. She raised an eyebrow and said,"well if that's something you need me to do later, I'd do that to save your life."
“But what about my memory? I just got it back, I don't need to lose it again…” I asked, she smiled and said, " I'd make sure to keep those for you. You'd have them in the end. Course, you'd be half succubus." She smiled ear to ear with the last sentence.
“If it saves my life i think that’ll be the best way, is there a way I wont feel pain and still get digested?” She smiled and said,"if I have to do that to save you, I don't think you'd be worried about that."
“Vee I think this is going to happen one way or another, I plan on sacrificing myself to the Mistress, if it comes to it, I may be trained by Luna but I can’t fight that…”
That's when I hear Valentine's voice, “She isn’t as powerful as you think, She is more bitchy than powerful.” The suddenness of it was bit startling which made me say,"Wait a minute, Valentine is here too!"
"Last I checked, no, she shouldn't be. Why are you asking?"
“Well I can hear her for some reason,”
“Ooooh spooky pony,” Said Valentine, “Also Nice shit, it's so gooey,”
“Val, why are you in my head…” She cut me off, and said,”
“I was told too, because Feather light wanted to make sure everything is okay in there after your little melt down…” Valentine said, “Also I don’t need to hear you, I am in your head after all… Wow you have some disturbing things in here,”
“Val,”As soon as I said that,” She dived into the past Compasses Memories.
“Val,”
“It's Ok Compass. She will now have her memories back as well, said Oakheart.”
“How Many ponies are In my head?” I said Starting to panic.
It seemed very odd for me, sure I know vee can read thoughts but actually have a pony in my head...
“Just me and ok maybe Valentine but, yeah just me, the poor thing passed out,” He responded.
I was confused. Why was Oakheart checking on me, but didn’t have time before he was asking a question “Compass are you ready, it's about to get bumpy apparently."
Just as he said that I felt a lurch that suggested that the Cybele started to move. I also heard her make a very happy sound. To be exact, it was,"Eeeeaaaoooooo!" The sudden lurch also tossed us around for a momment, with Vee landing somewhere near me. She let put a grunt.
I hoped it wasn’t my in shit, she then got up and said,"well, I'm happy I wasn't a centimeter to the right...also, her gut works quickly doesn't it. It's nearly gone! I'm kinda jealous."
“So what just happened?" I asked slightly dazed, and then I heard Valentine say,"well, let's just say that you've finally left for the grove. Would have been much sooner if it wasn't for some weird situation that literally happened after Vee got swallowed. I'm gonna have to tell you when you get back, because words alone aren't enough to describe this."
“Um ok… is something wrong,” I asked, but all I got to hear was,"nothing a shovel, a pen with ink, and a lot of mint can't fix. Also Butterscotch needs a bath once you are back."
“Uh… ok i still don’t know what you're talking about but whatever.”
“Compass, can you stop talking to yourself, It's getting strange,"Vee said. Valentine then said,"well, I suppost she's right. I'll leave you alone after you tell her hi for me…"
“Uh Val said hi and for some reason her and Oakheart are in my head…” I said to her, and she looked at me and said,"ah, ok. Well, I guess we are moving now
“I take you no longer in the mood, you seem in an odd mood now…” Vee looked at me and said,"well for a moment I wasn't, but ah, I can feel her abdominal muscles rubbing underneath me. Let's just say, I'm in a good spot."
“Do you have your potion? I'd love a fifth leg at the moment if you know what I mean." I asked slyly. She the chuckled and said,"ah well, I can get that taken care of." She said as I felt a warm and sticky bottle get pushed to me.
“Please tell me you don’t keep these in your ass…”
"No...I wouldn't do that to you. Why are you asking exactly?" Vee said, slightly offended
“Well It’s covered in poo… Oh it's my own…” I said, embarrassed. I then heard Vee say,"well, I can sanitize it, but it means dipping in some gut juices, sure it won't affect the flavor, but it will be cleaner than you think."
I stuck the bottle in my mouth, surprising Vee giving a shit eating grin as I did so. "That's gross...and you were complaining about being aroused in her stomach earlier. Wow."
“Well it's your fault you made me in a kinky mood…” I said seductively. She smiled and said,"Well, that's true, I wonder what's dirtier, your mind or your mouth. Hard to decide right now."
I Continued to Giggle rolling around in the Cybeles belly, like a foal. My new leg is flopping around like a rope if you know what leg I am talking about. Vee then giggled and said,"well, now you're just making the Cybele happy, mind doing some of that movement on me?
“Yes ma’am…” I said before I got on top of her back. She was covered in mucus, but somehow that made things more interesting.
It was like she was covered in Lube but almost more slippery. Then i slipped into her vagina, and once again she expanded to give me more feeling there."Well, what you gonna do now?"
“I want to give you more of my seeds.” I said feeling my penis twitch. She then said,"well, you're the one on top...so you better give me a show. Not that I think that will be a challenge"
**********************************
The ride in the Cybele turned out way better than I thought. As she moved, we felt every muscle in her abdomen rub against us, stimulating the situation at hand, it was very erotic and different. I know I enjoyed it at least. Then came the time where we had to leave. That felt just as good.
The stomach squeezed us into the esophagus and then pushed us out into the world. We then got to feel the Cybele give us a good lick and then walk to a corner and take a nap. She knew her job was done for now, though I never expected to see her fall asleep. She curled up into a ball and wrapped her tail around herself, kinda like a kitten. It was cute. I was kinda loopy though from the journey as well as what I was doing to Vee. I then looked up at Featherlight , who asked,"well, was that as bad as you thought?"
“If eating my own shit is bad then I don't know…” the face he gave me was one of 'well then, that's a new one'. He then walked over and picked up a bucket and said,"wash yourself, and then please eat one of the lemons from the trees, most don't like them, but they can clean palates. It sounds like you need to do that. If you need some salt, I have some in the pack next to you."
“I’ll only eat one if it tastes as good as Vee's…” I started to say before he doused me with a bucket of water and said,"don't wanna know, just do please."
“Vee clean me like the filly I’ll be…” I said, Feather just raised an eyebrow.
“Vee said she’ll rebirth me if anything happens.” I said Proudly. He just shrugged and said,"well, if it needs to be done, but please don't do something dumb please."
Vee then looked at me and said," what am I going to do with you my love." She said as she grabbed the scrubber and began to clean me.
“Make me a clean filly.” I said Kinda Hyper like,” For some reason sex with Vee leaves me acting like a foal." I said as I thought, and got a reply,"well, normally, I would leave ponies drained to love a succubus, that being said, those Succubi are normally not that ponies mate. Vee being your mate means she's building you up instead of draining you." Featherlight said.
He walked over to the lake and he sat down at it. He then took a moment to stare at the water, he gave a sigh. Something was on his mind.
“What's wrong with him,”," I asked Vee. She looked at him and said,"I've no clue, but from what the crew can tell me, he wasn't always a Nightstallion, but you knew that. I also heard that his past is much darker than what he is now." She looked at me with a sullen expression. She knew something that I probably shouldn't, but the curiosity I had grown over the time I started to be in this crew.
“Are you able to tell me?'' I asked. Then I heard Featherlight say,"it may just be better if I told you, if you're really that brave, or just that curious. First, come close to the water and look at the reflection." He said. Something in his voice said he wanted to tell me this sooner.
I looked at him hoping this wasn’t going to be as bad as Oakhearts. I did as he asked, but as I walked to the lake, instead of seeing the burning mane and fur, I saw a wing-less red stallion who had scars covering every part of his body. Where his wings should be, there were but stumps. This was the look of a troubled past, and a warrior's gaze echoed into my heart.
“Do you also have bad blood with Gem Hunter?” I asked. He smiled and said,"I wish it was that simple, honestly, of everyone on board, Gem should be frightened of me the most. How much of the factory and it's inner works have you learned in the lunar guard and your time here?"
“Are you talking about the weather factory, and how they kill there own youth if they aren't good enough to fly. Yes I know that and nearly got put there… why I never fight it…" I said to him. He looked at me and said,"Well, I never got to learn about that till I decided to go against the director. I used to hunt criminals before then, and never got to learn about the fillies that they massacred because of their old beliefs. That was until I bumped into a certain Rainbow haired mare and her protege. If it wasn't for me, I fear they could have been in a much worse scenario."
“Well why not make thing right, we have the team now, I am sure we can do this, after we take out the Mistress." I said with certainty. He looked at me and smiled,"well, that's a idea, but one task at a time. We still need to get that moonflower essence to the Queen. Not to mention we have that griffon chasing us."
“I have an Idea for that cat butt…” I said, he smiled again and asked,"well, I wonder what it could be. Go on and tell me you little genius."
“Birds can’t fly when soaked, get those bitches wings wet as my vagina when…”he gave me a looked saying that I said enough. He then smiled and said,"well, I like it, plus, if we can shrink her, I think I know of a fitting punishment for her, if you catch my drift."
“I have an idea too, My little pet Cybele needs a friend." He chuckled and said,"ah yes, that's what I was thinking too. Too bad that griffon won't be around for you to enjoy her presence for long, if you know what Cybeles like to do, which I'm sure you do at this point."
“Yep I am sure she’ll like the taste of chicken." I said, we all chuckled and then he got up and grabbed a lemon from one of the trees, cut it with a knife and got out some salt and sprinkled it on the lemon slice. He then gave it to me. "Here, it isn't the best tasting thing in the world, but let me tell you, you'll feel much better if you ate one of these every once in a while."
“Thanks," I said, then biting into the bright yellow fruit. It was really sour, and the salt amplified that sour tang, but there was a slight sweetness to it, and not a hint of bitter which you normally get from a lemon. It cause my face to pucker a little still.
“Yeah I can never get over that part…” I said to his laughter. "Yeah, that's true, but do you taste your fecal matter anymore?"
“Um no… wow that’s nice I don’t taste it at all" I said, kinda happy that it was resolved, and also happy that my breath was also much fresher. I also noticed I was breathing easier. That came with the sudden release of my sinuses, which flooded into my mouth...
“Um, how do we get to the place we are going,” I asked. Then I carefully spit out the congealed mucus and snot that was filling my mouth. Featherlight laughed and said,"Well, considering, the moonpool is right here, I'd say far enough." He continued to chuckle like a mad stallion, even snorting in the process.
“So is there a Portal in this pond,” I asked and he just simply tapped his hoof into the water, I hissed a little, and then the area around us disappeared and left us in something similar to the night sky back in equestria, but it surrounded us. He smiled as we stood on nothing, yet that nothing was solid. I think this was better than any portal.
“What Is this place filled with so many wonders casting its spell on me?” I asked. He replied with," this is the inside of the moonpool, and I get that reaction myself. Even now, it still takes my breath away."
“Is Vee here?” I asked,”I'm right here, just being quiet." Vee then said behind me.
I freaked out out for a second when I saw her
“Awww where did you come from…” she raised an eyebrow and said,"from outside the illusion of the moonpool. Here, we can communicate with anyone else that is at a moonpool. For instance, the consul of nightmares. Which is about to start."
“Ok?” I said, and then I heard a voice from in front of me said, in a tone that said playful,"well, look at her, she's a jumpy one isn't she." I turned around and found myself looking at a tiny purple burning mare who had the widest grin I had ever seen. She was terrifying.
“Uhhh…” I stared at the tiny little nightmare, she seemed dissatisfied by my initial reaction. She gave a frown and pursed her lip, saying "well, for someone who's jumpy, that was not at all what I was expecting. Now I'm sad." She said before retiring to a spot to my right, sitting in it and pouting.
“Um Vee, I think I’d much rather be in your belly at the moment…” I said, and then heard another voice, this time it was a very beautiful feminine voice,"yes, that is an idea, and I'd love to see it. Can I see this pony go into a belly?" Said a bronze burning mare with gold mane. She was beautiful to look at, but something [namely her belly] told you that pleasuring her was lethal.
“Um, Feather did you kill me and send me to the place I belong…” then I heard a very angsty male voice say,"I wish, death would be a pleasant experience, I think." I turned and saw a black burning stallion with purple mane coding one of his eyes, which was a piercing blue.
“Mommie…” I said nearly pissing myself but my bladder was already empty. That prompted another voice, a motherly one."Well, little one, what's the matter?" Which drove my attention to a green mare with white mane, who looked exactly as she spoke, like a mom. A good mom, at that.
“Yep I’m dead…” I said, only to have a hoof land next to me and a more dominant female voice,"nope, still got blood pumping, though I wouldn't mind if that was pumping all over me." Which then prompted a,"Hemophilic Disrupt, get away from my employee, she's nice and I don't wanna lose her over your blood fetish," from Featherlight.
She then looked at him and said,"Leather head, you're no fun." And then she walked away and got into what I believed was her spot. He just gave that look of 'that's not my name'.
I fell over onto Vee, who somehow caught me "Hooooo there girl, nothing to be frightened by, their just illusions. I got you girl, I got you." Vee said as she caught me.
For some reason I started to sing to myself, a song that Oakheart had played for me when I lived with him in my past life, “An Old Cow-pony went riding out one dark and windy day. Upon a ridge he rested as he went along his way. When all at once, a mighty herd of red eyed cows, he saw Plowed through the ragged skies and up a cloudy Draw".
"I think we broke her, I think we broke the bat pony…..yay!" The small nightmare said, playfully and with much joy.
“Oh you didn’t break me, I Pounced on her opening my wing blades. She smiled,"I wouldn't do that…" I then heard several different blades and saw as all but Featherlight and Vee had their weapons drawn. Feather then said,"well, that escalated faster than expected, Misery, can you please not antagonize her for now. She's had a bad time." He said, he didn't patronize me though.
My eyes started to redden as it they locked on her, my tail and mane started to fringe, my fangs protruded from my mouth and then I busted into sparks my eyes now burning with a brilliant light apparently about to burn out But In all that time I disarmed every one and had her pinned back to the ground all in seconds.
“You dare mess with me, I don’t know what you are but I bet you have more than one weakness," I said, spitting in her face putting out some of her flames, “I may look like a defenceless mentaly challenged bat pony but I know how to fight and even kill when necessary." I then heard a yell come from Featherlight,"Compass, enough! I think you have their attention." He then put a hoof on me. I looked at the mare under me, and saw that she seemed to only be a frightened filly.
“Oh my gosh! Oh my gosh! Oh My Gosh! I nearly killed a filly…”
But in seconds I was blind, And fell to my side once again this time there was no Vee to catch me
“Her eyes burned out," said Vee as she ran over to me after I fell. "Damn it, you think you overdid it there Misery? Ugh, well, at least you can see what I've been telling you guys." I heard Featherlight say, and then I heard the angsty one say,"I see what you mean, she's definitely the one. How dreadful."
The motherly one then said,"you and your doom and gloom Depression, can you not celebrate this occasion instead of, well, being you?"
The Vore lover then spoke,"true, such a discovery is warranting a feast, but not now of course. Matriarch, perhaps you can tell Misery who she just blinded."
Matriarch the said,"of course I will, Gastric Vision. Misery, you may be the oldest of us, but you should be able to recognize a greater force when you see it. After all, you've seen her other iterations, have you not?"
“Vee…” I said but was cut off. It was Misery that did so,"well, I admit she is quite powerful, but none of us can say anything about it. That's not how this works. She has to discover it on her own, otherwise she couldn't be what she is. That being said, tormenting her was such a privilege."
“Does anyone care that I can’t see…” I was cut off again."Does it matter what she is? She did attack one of our own, even if it was to find out." Depression said, followed by Matriarch saying,"honestly, it does matter what she is, and the attack was just that a test. Even in a rage, she thinks clearly. That is a good characteristic that the other didn't seem to have. She may be the one."
“I may be what," I asked now curious as I looked around like I could see when actually I couldn’t. I then felt them look at me and all of them said, unanimously,"can't tell you that one." They all said it with a hint of boredom.
“Yay the 'I can’t tell you' thing again,” I said as I relived the same words being spoken to me. It was annoying, but something told me that they did that for a reason.
“Is it that I am Nightbreaker, I know that, because I I got back more than the original compasses memories. I got back memories of a battle that I was in. I was a stallion then, and a bright one at that. I don’t know why I have been reborn so many times but I know that I have a power that I know how to use when necessary. I just don’t like it. It seems to seek control and drags me into nowhere, it's actually quite startling actually."
"For good reason, since you've seen the past. You also know why we couldn't tell you what you were right? To protect you, if anything were to happen to you at this juncture, it would spell disaster to every realm ever or thought up. To be honest, the power you hold is more than anything or anyone should be able to handle. Even with your memories regained, you're still very much in danger of destroying yourself, much less your enemies." The Matriarch said, with concern in her voice.
“I have known about this power way before I got my memories, It's what sent the timber wolves after me, I knew then I was being hunted but just didn’t tell anyone, I was scared I’d put them in danger the only one who knew was my old love and that's why I need to save her no pony deserves a death like what Valentine had or worse. I am just glad she didn’t remember her deaths, just the parts that lead up to them…”
"Yes, I can confirm that she has seen such things, astral projection is definitely a thing she can do while sleeping. She's cleaned the bed enough to know that as well." Featherlight said. He did so dryly.
“Can someone give me my sight back? I want to see my love again… There is something I need to do." I said, and got the response of,"you've seen the previous lifespans, but you forgot that Moonpool visits leave you into a dream state. Your eyes are fine, they've been fine!" Misery said as she laughed maniacally.
“And that something, is spank a filly," I said with a smile, and she shut up her laughter and then said,"yeah, that was another thing you used to do. Please don't." Misery said.
“I also know something you guys don’t, I can give my power to another host. It doesn't even need to be a living host. It can be a host in a dream so that way this power will always be there and can’t be destroyed." I said, and the others looked at each other and said,"that's helpful. I guess the creator was much smarter than we thought."
"That being said, we need to get moving, we still have a lot to do, as you know. But before we continue, one last question." Featherlight said, turning from joyful to serious. "What do any of you know of someone called the Mistress?"
"Not much, but apparently she's becoming a name in the darker corners of the Nightshade, so there is an issue in itself. Other than that, she is very careful in covering her tracks, and it's caused us to have nothing in terms of actual info. I'm sorry we can't help you there." Matriarch said.
"Well, then we leave as we came. Now, for the part I hate." Featherlight said.
“Wait what?” I asked as Matriarch started to walk up to me and put a hoof up to my chin. "It's time to wake up little one.." then I felt my head turn quickly, and woke up next to the lake with a jolt.
“The fuck just happend…'' I shouted, and the Vee jolted up and gave a minor gasp. "Well, that was definitely different, you ok Compass?"
“Yeah Just wondering how I am going to put my power into some ponies dreams,”I said, and then Featherlight then awoke with a startling blaze of flame."I always hated how you have to get out of the Moonpool's spell." He said.
“I thought it felt nice to have that kink in my neck popped,” I Joked. Then he looked at me and said,"you had the nice one wake you up….Misery did mine. Anyway, you can take a break before we have to go back home."
“Oh sounds kinky, how was it having a filly break you,” he looks at me and says,"sure she was a filly when she was turned, but she's about 3000 years old. So yeah, have fun with that notion." He then got up and walked to a tree, then sat down and pulled out a map.
“I am tired for some reason, I thought I just slept…” I said, and Vee nodded her head. Feather then said,"Well, the moonpool does that. You can take a nap anywhere you want."
“Will it be safe?”I asked, and he said,"what do you mean? Your potion well last a while, hints at the ability to sleep anywhere you want. There should be enough time for you to get a good nap in and then travel for a while."
“Vee can we cuddle?” I asked and she said,"yes, of course!" She said with enthusiasm.
“Something wrong Vee,” I asked, and she shook her head,"why do you ask?"
“You seem depressed since we have awoken,” I said, and she said,"well I can say that being pregnant sucks. Everything kinda hurts now. So cuddles are definitely something I need, and warmth, it's so cold out here." She said as she rubbed her belly.
“Someone cold, how about a nice warm tummy to sleep in, its only been six hours not like a few more would hurt,” I said, and Vee looked at me and said,"I could agree with that, it was nice in there. Well, let's see if Blackie is hungry."
Feather stopped us and said,"Compass, make sure you use the bathroom before you go to your resting place. It's bad enough you are going into a stomach, no use in eating your own gastric wastes now." He said it with a smile.
“Thanks for the heads up but I think I’m good for a few hours. How about you Vee?" She looked at me and said,"well, no I think I'm good. I just really need a nap right now."
“Ok lets go,” I said, and the two of us headed to the Cybele who was sleeping on her back, drooling as she slept. She also had the happiest smile one could have. Nothing suggested that anything but sleep happened while we were in the Moonpool's spell.
“Um, do we wake her?” I asked, and Vee then said,"I have no idea. Though I think it would be rude if we just climbed in without her knowing. She may not spit us up if we did that, and the end result would be bad."
“I guess I could sleep in side you and keep you warm, I don’t mind being a filly again,” I said, but Vee shook her head and said,"that would be a bad idea, Rose Bud is kinda, making me nauseous and I don't think my anatomy would allow me to do that to you right now anyway. I'm sure Blackie will wake up soon, she's about to roll onto that small spike." And as Vee finished the sentence, Blackie rolled onto a small spike rock and leapt up a few feet off the ground with a shrill, "Eeeeeaaaaoooooo!"
“Hey, Compass. We're back, how was the Moonpool,’ asked Oakheart.
“Uh, Vee I hear talking in my head again…”
“Relax Compass,” Said Valentine,”I'm sure it's just the others checking up on our progress and making sure we are ok. I'm gonna go check on our bed and ride while you give 'em a report." She said as Blackie rubbed thigh that got poked by the rock. Blackie gave the face of ow to us. "Hey now, that's not our fault you rolled on a sharp rock, after all, you got the skin that can't get cut by any metal blade, but you still hurt yourself with a rock."
“Vee that's not a rock that's a night shard,” I said, and she looked at it and said,"well, it is...better pocket it, another question, how did it get here?" She asked as she looked over the Alpha Cybele's thigh, only finding a small knot she started to work out.
A "Scree", came from the sky as the griffin dropped more crystals on the Cybele as if they were bombs. They tore into its skin as if they were daggers.
"Hello again cunt!” said a familiar and much hated voice. She tried to grab me by swooping in and catching me in her claws.
But the only thing she got was cut by my wing blades. This was a fight I am not going to avoid. It was something I was going to need to deal with myself. Blackie then gave a "Eeeeeaaaaooooo" followed by some squishing that came from her tail. She then expelled three globs of purple venom at Greywing.
“Oh No need for that Blackie I have better ideas, hey bitch come get me." I said, Greywing taking notice and said,"well look who grew some lady balls now! Here I come, my little snack!" She says as she starts to swoop down again.
Let's see how smart you are, I thought to myself.
“Compass go for the lake, griffins can’t swim, or at least she can’t,” Said Valentine in my head.
“Hey bitch over here," I said as I did a cannonball into the Moonpool.
She did exactly as I expected and followed me all the while saying,"I'm gonna get you! I can't wait to feel ya melt!"
“Ha, try saying that after you catch me, I can fly when wet,” I taunted her, and she just grumbled and started to reach for me. I then realized she was using her weight to catch up to me in the water.
So I swam forward letting her sink past me grabbing a few feathers as a souvenir. I then started to swim up, but then felt something grab my leg. She managed to turn around and snag me, smiling as she started to pull me towards her.
Instead of fighting I let her take me knowing that there was no way to free myself, my wing blades were forced to my sides and I had nothing to use against her. She then smiled and opened her wings, and with a large thrust, took and got both me and herself out of the moonpool.
"Wow, that was almost clever, tried to drown me? Well, I can't fly for a while, but at least I finally have you. Any last words to share before I turn you into calories?" Greywing said.
“Cybele attack!” I said, and she turned around and saw a cut up Blackie with an angry look on her face right as Blackie's tail slammed into Greywing and me and sucked us both up.
"Well at least it will be easy to get the skull out," I giggled. Only to hear,"what the Hades, wait a minute, what's going on!" From Greywing.
“Your dying is all," I said. She still had a hold of me and said,"well, I still wanna taste, down you go you little snake."
“Yeah nice try but that won’t kill me,”I said, she said,"really? Is that so? Well, it'll make me feel better anyway. Now shut up and get in my gut!" She said.
“Fine but you’ll be dissolved in three minutes,” I said as she pulled me to her beak and I felt as she opened it and began to swallow me. It was much tighter than the Cybele's tail, and smelled of rotten flesh.
“Hmm I wonder what kind of stuff I can do to you from the inside?" I wanted to, but saying anything was hard as the griffon's throat constricted around my chest and pressed the air out of my lungs.
“This m-ay have, b-been a bad idea,” I struggled to say as I tried to open my wings to cut myself out but failing to. I then started to enter the stomach, which was filled with various juices that would have otherwise melted me. I then started to curled into a ball by the pressure but for some reason my sight started to get very staticy. Suddenly I felt my eyes fizzle and my sight then went darker than it was.
"I have to say, your are perhaps the tastiest victim I've ate! Not just to figure out a way outta here before I'm the one turned into calories." I said as I started to get shifted around in her stomach. She was starting to move around.
My clothes also started to get digested. I guess her acid is more corrosive than the Cybele. I also realized that it was getting even more difficult to breathe, much less keep the stomach acid out of my mouth. I started to feel a little fuzzy as my oxygen deprived brain and body started to shutdown. I was about to lose consciousness, and it frightened me.
Vee I need you … I thought to myself hoping she could read my thoughts. I wanted to try it out to the sky, but all I could get out was a gasp that filled my mouth with bile. Moments later, I went limp, and I blacked out, slipping into a dream that confused me, and yet, it would reveal what happened next.
I didn't see things the way I normally would, it was in pulses of purple and cyan. That being said, a mixture of panic and pleasure washed over me as if it was a raging river that I was using to propel me to the place I needed to go. That place was home, but I also saw in the pluses that there was a pony on my back, but he was weak and I could feel as if he was wounded in some and colder than I knew he should be.
I need to get my master to healer, I can't let him get extinguished. Momma would be so sad if that happened. I heard something say to me in a sweet and sorrowful tone. I then felt the pressure in my belly, also, I think my master's friends were hurt. Mean old griffon hurt all of them, I'm happy I digested that mean thing. I heard it finish.
“What's Going on,” I said, I suddenly stopped, but did so carefully as to not throw off the stallion on my back. Wait a minute, is that you glowing eyed bat mare? How are you talking to me, your in my belly with the cute one. I then heard the voice say.
“Um I don’t know what your talking about who are you…” I asked the voice, and then I raised up my hoof to my face as if I was about to scratch my chin, and it wasn't a hoof, it was a claw. My name? Well all I know is that my master likes to call me Blackie, though honestly, I think he was lazy when he did that. I heard the voice say, slightly mischievously.
“So how am I talking to you?” I asked, and then I got back down to four legs and started to walk. Well, I don't know, I've never had a pony talk to me before. It's kinda nice to have someone understand me that wasn't a Cybele. How are you anyway? I felt something weird in my belly when I ate that griffon and you. She didn't hurt you did she?
“I’m not sure…” I said. I then began to run. I hope you're ok, you and that cute pony are nice, and I don't want you to be hurt. At least you're well enough to talk to me. I then felt movement in my belly. Oh, speaking of the cute one, she's moving a little. I don't think she's been able to sleep since I ate that griffon, I think she's worried about you. She told me to hurry to the village and get to the healer.
“The healer, am I that bad of shape…” I said. I don't know, but master needs a healer too. He got hit by the falling cutting things. I'm worried that he is very hurt. It seems like the cute one is worried too. She said, worried herself, and you could hear it.
“What's going to happen?” I asked, and in the same worried tone. I don't know, I need to hurry, I hope you don't mind getting a little jostled around in there. She said before I started to pick up speed. My wings flapped furiously as I ran.
“I think I may be dead anyway so I don’t matter,” I said wishing I had tears to cry. She seemed to have felt my sorrow. Please don't be sad, I'm sure you are ok, your lover seems to be cuddling you at the moment. I'm sure if we get to town that the healer will help you, they normally do. You will be fine little one.
“If you say so…” I said even more depressed. Blackie seemed to be feeling it. Little one, the village is close, don't worry, it will be cold. However, I'm sure that if you are becoming a part of me, though I doubt it, it's not a bad existence. Eating things will be interesting, but otherwise it's a good life. Still, I just hope you're fine.
“I don’t know I got pretty fucked by that bitch,” I said, slightly resentful but angry. You mean that griffon, I'm sorry I could have gotten to you sooner to have prevented that. Your where so brave though, if that's the end of your story, it's not a bad ending. I don't believe it is though. One more jump left to do.

Chapter One: Broken wings and Strange Things
Tangled up in Ponytails
By Pony Lover 123
Chapter One: Broken wings and Strange Things
I was running through a valley, timberwolves approaching loudly through the grass and weeds. I felt my heartbeat loudly through my body deafening my senses where I couldn’t hear my hooves against the ground.
My back left hoof started to erode as it crashed down on the path, while my other hooves were safely clad in flaking star metal armor. The rattling of my dented breastplate full of sand on my back brought more timberwolves near. Adrenaline pumped through my veins keeping me ahead of the pack for what felt like hours.
One of my wings trembled and the other hung uselessly from my side. The sound of several wooden paws rumbled closer. While my mouth started to taste metallic with blood as Another one of my armored shoes slid off, making a clunk sound as it hit the hollow wood. I jumped over the massive trunk that had fallen, covered in overgrown knee-high grass.
My cart full of potions crashed into the log bouncing over it slowing me down just enough for one of the wolves to try to lunge at me.
Hearing a wolf cry told me that it had failed to do so and tripped over the same tree trunk or over its own paws. I was scared that the timberwolves were going to catch me because if they did I would be killed. I continued to sprint away from the timberwolves that were chasing me, luckily several of the timberwolves ran into trees so I could get ahead of them easier. The next thing that happened is I fell down a hill into a hole.
My cart was stuck above me, keeping me suspended in the air by the leather straps that kept me attached to it. Luckily the cart kept the wolves from getting to me. I was stuck in the sling of the cart, my rear legs wouldn’t move due to being tangled up in the harness. So I was going to be stuck there until some pony found me. And I sure hope it’s not one of my fellow guards. I am a traitor, I broke the laws of the lunar guard and hauled banned potions across the Equestrian border. Now If I don’t get free I’ll either die or get caught. I dangled their blood dripping from my forehead and my broken wing hanging uselessly by my side. My pain started to register in my mind and started to become bothersome.
“Aw, my body hurts…” I whined, and the cart above me started to creak in protest of my wait. A low howl could be hurd in the cavern.
I panic and start wiggling around in my harness trying to get out. I look down to see two timber wolves trying to grab me, open maws snarling as they snapped at me. Pure panic began to course through my veins as every snap grew closer to my face as the various scenarios of what my fate would be echoed through my mind. I wanted to move, but I just couldn't at this point, the only thing my body would allow me to do was scream. So I did.
I screamed at the top of my lungs till my throat grew sore, and my mouth dried out, but it felt like only the wolves below me would hear, and still, they tried to snap at me. Would I die here? Was this my fate? Would I either hang here and die of thirst, to drop and be ripped apart by wolves? Or Will I be found? I knew one way or another I'd probably die on all three accounts. I was a traitor and betrayed my country. Would they kill me too or would I be exiled to some far-off region not yet discovered. The various thoughts filled my head, so much so, I hadn't noticed that the noise of snapping maws had stopped.
"Well, look at this, looks like we found what was making all that screaming. Well, I bet you're happy to see us right?" A voice said, from the darkness.
“Hello, who is there?” I asked as a light appeared in the darkness. It appeared to be a torch or a lit horn.
The voice responded. “It's Moon Song, what are you doing here? Your orders were to stay and guard luna.,” the voice became closer and soon the pony was standing below me. She was looking around at the glass that was from the broken potion bottles
“I was sent to get some potions,” I lied hoping she’d buy it.
She looks at me confused. “But the report said you’d be home now. Did something happen,” she asked. She looked at me with confusion, I felt horrible, but it was about to get worse
Another pony walks up from the darkness her face lit by the torch Moon Song was carrying.
“Compass Star. You're supposed to be in your dorm.” The voice of my captain said. She had the face of disappointment and anger, and that stair that pierced into my very soul.
“Captain Rosebud what are you doing here,” I said, with a sheepish, but obviously nervous, grin. Rosebud then picked up one of the shards of glass one off the ground, and looked at the label. She gave a sigh of disappointment, and with a gruff voice, she said,'' Compass Star, you're under arrest for smuggling goods." I don't know what was worse, the feeling of guilt I had, or the face both Moon Song and Rose Bud gave me. Either way, I knew that things were only gonna get worse.
I waited for them to cut me down, and hall me back to luna. But they never did.
"Compass we are leaving you here if you're not killed by the wolves then you’ll be exiled. I'll be sending guards to come to pick you up once I get back to my post. Pray the wolves get you first.” Rosebud said before walking off, Moon song only looked at her commanding officer with confusion. Rose only stopped to say, "Moon Song, follow, leave her to her fate, maybe she'll die with honor. If not, I am sure my guards would like to bury their sword in her."
She walked off, the last sentence meaning more than I wished it would, if only I did what she said I should've done. If only a guard’s wages were enough to live on. The cruelest part about it all, was the if only's.
My trial came shortly after I found, and of course, I was exiled. Forced into the deepest parts of the evergreen forest, never to be seen by another pony, well, I wasn't supposed to be seen anyway. Course, fate is strange like that, and things that shouldn't happen do.
******************************************************************
A month had passed, and honestly, exile was lonely, and I honestly didn't know how I survived most of the time. Through the various creatures, the times I was hungry, or the fact of how injured I was, I did it. Then came one I didn't expect, the travelers. It was an embarrassing encounter, he and his mare friend stumbled upon me with my tail raised and urinating…
The stallion was the first one to notice me in the bushes and stopped his mare friend.
“"Hey there traveler what is a… Oh," he blushed, seeing my tail raised as I relieved myself in the bush. I couldn't let out any words due to complete embarrassment at having a stallion accidentally stumble upon me with my rear fully in view for him to gaze at. Then another pony came by. "Hey sweetie what did you…" A mare came up behind him and saw me causing my blush to intensify making me look like a tomato.
“Um hi…” I said shyly. The two ponies walked away after the stallion told me "We'll give you some privacy"
After they both had walked out of view and with my face as bright red as the freshest red delicious apples from embarrassment, I finished with urinating and stumbled slightly out from the bushes to go find those two only to trip and fall on a stone. Barely catching myself I stood on all fours and began walking towards the traveling ponies, I hoped they had a first aid kit my wing was hurting still, and my head still hasn’t healed from my run-in with the timberwolves
"Hey, sorry about that, didn't know I was gonna have visitors. Speaking of that, why are you so far in the forest anyway?" I asked them, still blushing from the embarrassment of earlier. I swore I was about to cry for a moment. The stallion and mare smiled and looked at each other for a moment before answering. It was the mare who spoke first.
"Hey, you look hurt are you ok?” She asked me. I was happy she said something and decided to answer with a, "yeah, I hadn't been taking the best care of myself lately." I slightly lowered my head and ears down, but said nothing else about my situation.
“It looks worse than just not caring for yourself-sweetie,” She said as she looked at my wing. “Your wing looks broken… and are those bite marks on your rear leg?" The mare said with genuine concern. It made me lower my head, even more, more from shame this time. "I had a bit of a run-in with timberwolf, that's all." This time the stallion spoke, sarcastic tones overlaying on his voice, "Do you need a hospital or a dog bone?" The mare gave a sharp poke with her elbow into his gut.
“Oakheart don’t be rude, she needs help,” She said as she walked over to inspect me. An inch of annoyance at Oakheart's comment could be heard.
“Sorry, my love,” he started through painted grunts, "I was just trying to lighten the mood."
I stood still for the mare to look me over, but as she did so something seemed off. It made me wonder, what were they doing here in the first place, being as deep as it was in the evergreen forest. It made me ask,"what are you guys doing out so far anyway? It's quite a ways away from the nearest village or town." I said with some concern.
“Hey what happened here that doesn't look like a scar?" Said the mare not answering my question. I felt a slight bit of annoyance but when I realized what she was looking at I tried to cover my inner flank with my tail.
“It looks like a brand of some kind… Are you in the Royal Guard?” The mare said, a bit of curiosity in her voice
"S’mores leave her alone If she was a guard she isn’t anymore she’d be wearing armor if she was still part of the corps," Oakheart said. Thankfully he wasn't thinking much about it all, or he just wasn't the type to pry.
But That didn’t keep his mare friend S’mores from prying.
"Oh wow, You're an ex-royal guard how cool I bet you have lots of stories to tell…" She started but was cut short by Oakheart.
“No, she isn't a royal guard she is an ex-lunar guard That brand is a mark of a traitor." The word stung more than a wound would. Not that it wasn't true, alas, the life of someone who made a bad decision. What I didn't expect was what was said next. “Well, we kinda need someone like you,” He said as he looked at me with a smile.
"What do you mean, needing someone like me?" I said to them both, confused as to their meaning.
"Well we are traders, we rely on pirates for our trade, and you’d make a good one." Said S’mores as she handed me an item out of her saddle bag. It was an orb of some sort, and it was filled with a sticky liquid inside. I then recognized that it was a bottle of a sort of binding potion. Potion smuggling...again.
"I don't know if that's a good idea, the whole reason I got exiled in the first place was because of potion smuggling." I told them.
"Well then you know why we need one then, they are hard to come by due to them being very secretive." Oakheart responded eagerly. They both smiled, but I could understand why, the potions I tried to smuggle were rare themselves, and therefore very lucrative. I had given a sigh, I was already in exile, so I already had a reason to get 'lost', and it wasn't like they'd do anything more horrid if I got caught anyway. Well except kill me, which quite honestly, is what they were trying to do beforehand.
"Yeah, ok, I guess I'll help you guys, so where are you heading to anyway?" I asked, reluctantly.
"Well It’s not exactly in the dimension… But we are headed to Kluge town in the NightShade dimension. It will be a new start for you because you’ll have no record.” Said Oakheart. The prospect was rather nice, and not being prosecuted and having a life outside of just surviving was also nice. The place they said however, was not one that I had heard before.
"Nightshade dimension, what exactly, or where, is that?" I asked. S'mores, helped to clarify it. "Well It’s through a portal that happened to be in this very forest.” She answered happily. Wasn't what I thought she'd say, but at least she tried.
"I guess that is where we are going next, so, I guess I'm gonna follow you guys there then." I said, wondering if I could've said that a bit better.
“Well yeah unless you want to get lost on the way there." Said Oakheart as he started walking with S’mores. The two of them were about to begin, and then I felt the twinge of pain in my leg. It reminded me,"um, about that med kit?" The two of them looked at each other, and Oakheart gave a sigh. "Well If you're that hurt I can just carry you…” He said with annoyance.
He picked me up, and placed me on his back. I kinda had to wrap a wing around him to hold myself on him, for his gate was kinda rough, but it wasn't all bad. S'mores, however, seemed to be staring at me the entire time. “Lucky, you get a ride the first time you meet I had to beg him for days to get a ride." She muttered, Oakheart kinda chuckled.the bounce had me hold on tighter. Fortunately, leather wings have more texture and grip than a feathered one, but you could feel more, that was a bit of an issue. His size was a bit intimidating.
******************************************************************
It took a couple of hours of intimidation to get to the place that we need to get to. The place was full of all kinds of creatures and some seemed even more intimidating than the… Never mind, I am not going there.
The town was massive… Oh come one why can’t I get my mind off Oakhearts… Aw. Ok I got it. So we were walking through town. Well they were walking while I was riding. We were stopped by some large creature with a sword pointed at me. Oakheart calmed the creature in an unknown language but the creature kept staring at me until we went inside a large… Ok enough describing big objects.A building, it appeared to be a clinic of some kind. Young ponies and other young creatures laid on beds. All appearing to be sick or injured. But the farther in the building the older the creatures got. Soon we stopped at a desk and Oakheart spoke.
“We are here to check in this young mare. Dear, can you tell us your name?”
“It’s Compass Star, But most ponies call me Compass.” I said, slightly uneasy about saying my name.
"Okay then can we check in Ms. Compass Star.” Asked S’mores.
“Yes can I get a list of what is wrong with her?
S’mores is the first to respond.
“Well she has a broken wing, a nasty gash on her head, hooves are cracked, her back is raw from sand,”
“and she is wetting herself.” Oakheart added.
“Hey I do not…”
“Then what do you call this?” S’mores said as she pointed at a patch of wet fur on Oakhearts back.”
“I can explain,” i said blushing

Start of Oakheart memories
Start of Oakheart memories
Oakheart and his herd were walking back to the castle. The wind was peace full but something seemed off, They had just got back from a picnic and were still carrying the supplies. But ever since they got back to the Ever Free Castle things just seemed odd. The birds were all quiet and the castle seemed even more dilapidated then they had left it. And some of their stuff looked like it was dug through and scavenged. But when Oakheart and his family finally reached the entrance of the castle there was a poodle of blood and hoof prints that lead deeper into the castle
“Quinn(I took to be Oakhearts human form’s name ) what's that…” Asked S’mores
“I don’t think you want to know,” said a bat pony (who I guessed was Compass shine. )
(A pink pony who looked alot like Aurora ) said, “It looks like it lead some were,”
Please tell me that's not blood I thought. As Quinn and his herd walked up the steps.
“(Oakheart/Quinn) then said “ Compass Go check out where that trail leads, me and the others will search for Alex,”
Who is Alex I thought.
(The pony who looked like Aurora ) said, S’mores Val stay back, me and Quinn can keep you two safe….”
“Pleeease Tell me this isn’t the massacre, I thought
“Daddy what's going on,’ asked Valentine in the cutest voice I have ever heard.”
“I wish I knew,” said Oakheart, his face tense with what I thought was fear.
Oakheart and his herd continued to walk through the castle when he stopped at a door with a plaque on it that read Alex’s and Cloud Dancers room, keep out if you hear moaning....
Uh ok I think I got the message… I thought to myself
But as he was going to open a dore a loud bang like nothing I had heard before came from another room.
“Quinn I hope that wasn’t what I thought it was,” said S'mores, her face looking as scared as her daughter.
“Aurora, take S’mores and Val to our room,” Oakheart said, his voice sounding strained.
Hm I wonder If the Aurora I know is the same. I thought.
Oakheart walked away from Alex’s room and walked to what looked like a foyer. He grabbed a sword from over the fireplace.
“If Timber Wolves want to mess with us then so be it!” he yelled only to turn to see a yong Griffin lying in a pool of blood a gun shot right threw its head. Oakheart panicied dropping his sword to the ground. The hole in its head dripped blood as he watched with horror.
He then said, “what in tarnation happened here.” Oakheat said, His voice sounding like a pony who was about to die.
But that's when he got a feeling as though he was being watched. He raised his sword over his face taking a battle stance. The scythe that was by the Griffin clattered like something was trying to pick it up with magic.
Oakheart gets back up to his feat he placed the sword so the sharp sided faced the world getting ready for anything. Slowly he edged himself back into the hallway where an attack was limited from two sides rather than all four.
“Quinn help,” he heard a feminine voice scream. It sounded Like the bat pony from before.
My legs never moved as fast as he bolted to where the screaming was hurd. He arrived at a scene I wish I didn’t see, A stallion was standing over the bat pony mare with his thing at full mast. Before he could force himself one her, his member was blown off, another human came into view (My guess was Alex) He was carrying some sort of stick that he had pointed at the stallion with his member blown off. He then pulled a trigger and the stick puked a fire like object from a hole blowing the stallion's head off.
Shocked and confused, Oakheart said “Alex what in god's name just happened!” he exclaimed as he helped the bat pony up. She looked both glad and terrified at her attacker's death.
“Shit you ok Compass,” Asked Oakheart,”
“I don’t know, I just hope that bastard blood isn’t on me,” She said.
If she was anything like me she should be fine. I thought
“But I don’t think Alex is,” She said pointing at Alex, ``there was a bloody mark all over his shirt and pants.”
But before Oakheart said anything, Alex interrupted,” Compass Star You don’t look so good either.”
“I am fine,'' she said.
“I doubt that…” Said Alex as he lifted her left to inspect it.
“If we live this, I think you're going to be crippled....”
Oakheart picked her up in his arms looking at her worried.
“Quinn the green prick stole your rifle and shot Cloud Dancer. I don’t know if she is ok, But we need to get to your herd. Last time I saw him he was heading to your room…”
They both take off down the hall Oakheart carrying, Compass in his arm. His tears fell on her as they ran.
Screams could be heard from down the hall and Oakheart picked up his speed but not without crushing Compass after tripping.
If I wasn’t in Oahearts mind I bet I’d be having a mental breakdown at this moment after watching that,
But what was worse, right after Oakheart gets off her he could never say goodbye because a loud bang is hurd and a hole appears in her chest where her heart should be. Another bang and a stallion falls from a rafter killing her twice.
The stallion tried to go for his stick once again but he was headless before he could reach it.
Oakheart fell to his knees looking at the crushed mare. His face was mortified. And looked like he was going to break any minute.
But Alex told “Quinn you got to leave her… If you want to save the rest of 'em,” he then dragged Oakheart to his feet.
When they got to the room all that could be hurd was S’mores screaming for Valentine to wake up. She was lying on her side bleeding from one of her teets and some other places I’d rather not say, and Aurora had a shield up trying to protect the group from the repeated shots fired from the boom sticks. The room was so loud it nearly made me fall from Oakheart’s memory.
But in the corner there was a Gem Hunter holding Oakheart's boom stick and aiming it at him like a crossbow in his magic.
“Look what the fat one dragged in a new toy, and the skinny one at that. Have fun watching your loved ones murdered,” he said In a voice that didn’t even sound like him. It sounded far more cruel but still sounded like the prick I knew from the store. I guess he lost some of his funk with old age…
“You couldn’t even protect your own herd, kinda of pathetic, I hope you miss her as much as I hate you and your stupid Princess Twilight who opened that portal for you in the first place.”
Oakheart was pushed to his knees and was disarmed
“You forgot one master, '' said a Griffon Bringing Alex in, “apparently this one thought he could make a run for it,”
Quinns face looked betrayed. As a tear dropped from his eye.
"Gentle colts, why don’t you have some fun with them and make sure it's nice and painful." Gem Hunter said triumphantly.
Aurora's horn flashed leaving Oakheart in his usual form but with no cutie mark.
"Awe cute, the little pony thought It would be more fun torturing a little colt, and a blank flank at that." One of the goons said.
That's when Oakhearts horn flashed and his herd was sent some were hopefully more safe.
But If I know the story It's not as safe as Oakheart hoped… I thought.
The stallion teleported on top of Oakheart swinging the boom stick at his horn shattering Oakhearts concentration, breaking his horn sending him into a sleeping state his horn bounced off the floor flickering magic and blood.
Alex was then forced to leave by the griffon and the stallion swung the boom stick repeatedly at Oakhearts back.
Oakheart then broke the spell and yelled, "That is not how you treat a gun,” as he kicked into the air bucking Gem Hunter in the groin.
Oakheart was then forced back down by a mare. As the stallion laughed. Static accrued and my vision blurred as the mare forced herself on me. Oakhearts mind began clouding and I could no longer see what was happening.
Music than began to play
Valentine is done
Here but now they're gone
Romeo and Juliet
Are together in eternity (Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (like Romeo and Juliet)
40, 000 men and women everyday (redefine happiness)
Another 40, 000 coming everyday (we can be like they are)
Come on, baby (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, take my hand (don't fear the reaper)
We'll be able to fly (don't fear the reaper)
Baby, I'm your man
I then wake up still in Oakhearts memory
My heart beat was all he could hear but it seemed to dull the pain in His head as the song of the beating grew louder. He then tried to open his eyes to relieve some pain but instead had to have his memories flash before his eyes.
The sound of every beating heart is music to my ears, the melody is torn apart when listening through tears… He sang as he got up to his hooves, his trembling legs nearly failing him as he moved back through the room. He looked to his bed where he had so many fun nights now ruined and covered with S’mores, Aurora and Valentine’s Blood. He looked at his cabinet. All that was left was a Small Gun of some sort empty with no clip that held the most deadly thing known to me at the time. Bullets.. It's what killed all his mates and it was about to be what killed him before a wolf-like creature stops him. Holding out Oakhearts horn in his claws.
“Quinn, you got to push past this man, I know you, you survived worse than this…”
“Alex nothing is worse than this…”
“Are you sure…”
“I am more than fucking sure,” Oakheart yeld.
“It could be worse… we could be in someone else's original characters rather than our own,” joked Alex.
“Quinn this was my fault I knew you’d be trapped but they told me your herd would be reliced.
‘Wait you knew this was a trap…”
My Mouth Dropped… Well if I had one in this dream i sure it would have. I truly felt bad for Oakheart. He had so much happen all at once…
“All I know, time is a valuable thing. If you watch it tick by, they will die because the clock ticks life away…” Alex sang.
“Stop singing you fucking wirdo…” said Quinn.
“Sorry…”
“Well if we are going to quote Linkin Park and our songs of the past theme here… Things will never go back to they way they were before.. Don't you see I tried so hard and got so far… and only to watch it all fall down…
“Quinn…” Alex started.
Cause I am only a crack in this castle of glass… hardly anything left for you to see… But in the end it doesn't even matter… So let mercy come and wash away what I’ve done… Just for me to start all over again.”
“Quinn please stop Now is not the time for self loathing your h…” Alex tried…
Shut up, I can be depressed all I want because the same shit keeps happening… Every one I have known has left me so why haven't you. There is only one thing you should know, I put my trust in you… and you broke it by having my herd killed…”
“You know what Quinn, You're right I should have ditched your sorry ass and let your herd die at least I’d still have mine… I should have just let your herd die… You're wrong they are not dead but they probably will be now once you get to them. I bought you some fucking time by sacraficing my own herd mate for you…” tears welled up in Alex’s face, "I just wanted to help man… Bye Quinn I hope you have fun trying to find your herd without this…” He said holding up a map and ripping it to 6 pieces he then threw the pieces out the window and the wind blew them into the forest.
“Wait no…”
Alex Flipped Oakheart the bird and jumped out the same window.
When he looked out Alex was no were to be seen…
*************
“Hey compass is everything ok,” asked Vee, her face looking concerned.
“No But I think Oakheart should be waking up any time now.” I said, while Featherlight removed his hoof from my chest, giving a solemn look.
“What's wrong, my love,” Virtuous asked, even more concerned.
“I saw Oakheart's family Massacre,” I said.
“Then you know,” Vee said, she gave the same somber look Featherlight had.
Before I could answer, Vee changed forms. Revealing a tan pegasus.
“I was also part of the herd, I was Alex’s mate Cloud Dancer,” She looked at me, her eyes watering at the memories.
"A young Incubus took me in helped me heal my wounds, then he made me his mate and things haven't been the same Luckily I saved most of my memories and kept my personality but things have changed as well" she said, a small smile creeping on her face, remembering the one that saved her.
"Are you saying everyone from the massacre was revived somehow," I asked.
"Yes but many of us don’t have our memories like you, Valentine and Aurora. You were the strongest out of those three so it had to be you that saw that." S'mores then said. She continued with, "I just wish you didn't need to find out in the first place."
The memories started unfolding in front of me my actually memories and not the new ones from this life
"My time in the royal guard, the exile from Luna sent me to the Ever-free castle where I met Oakheart and Cloud Dancer for the first time. My first time with Oakheart, and S’mores getting mad at me was his second time ever having sex. I think she thought I was his first… his story of his past self and his girl friend that I am not even sure S’mores knows about Phoenix the Kirin and who is also a human and Oakhearts ex. Alot to take in in a few moments, you know?" I said.
"Wait, you mean Phoenix is Oakhearts first?”S'mores asked, only to hear a "uh oh," come from the bed. Oakheart was awake, and S'mores had a few words to say. The rest of us let ourselves out to avoid the explosion.
“So Vee do you miss Alex." I asked. She just smiled and answered, "Yes I do everyday but I have you now and I am happy with you. I just wonder what he's doing in that cute wolf body he has, and if he misses me too…" She continued to wear that soft smile that started in Oakhearts room.
"Is everything ok Vee. I know I am ok with all of this." She nodded softly. Then she looked at me and said,"moving on from all this, I still haven't found Blood Rose. Something is starting to bug me though."
"Awww help me" screamed the said pony being chased by a mad momma Cybele. Me and Vee started to run as fast as we could to the source of the commotion, and not only found Blood Rose and Blackie, but also that strange stallion that had helped with the griffon earlier. I then heard him say,"you know, Karma is a wonderful thing right?"
"It sure looks like it," I said as something came up behind us and hugged us like a bear.
“Cloudy with a chance old Virtues.” Said what looked like a racoon and wolf hybrid. Vee then started to get a little warm. "Wait a minute, is that?" She started to say as she turned to look.
“Guns and roses and pony poses.” Said the creature. Vee then lit up the light like the sun,"Alex, you dog, how are you?"
“I’d be better if you’d change back to your cute little peggy butt…” he said. Vee then smiled and said,"idk, I kinda like the horns, tail and leathery wings. More fun if you get the gist."
“OOH and you're a herm too…” his eyes locked on the thing between her legs. Vee smiled and said,"well, I know how to use it too." her attention was then returned to Blood Rose when she said,"hey, you guys just gonna stand there and make googly eyes at each other or help me?"
"I think it's better to let you get eaten because we know what you’ve been doing, you tried to turn Valentine against us but she was attacked by a Cybele before anything could have happened." I said, she just looked innocently and said,"what, me? Do you think I'm actually capable of that?"
“If your history has anything to say about that, yes I do,” Said that same familiar voice that we've all come to respect. Featherlight started to walk up to us and continued with,"Also, no offense, I've had my friend Branded Steel here keep an eye on you, and he's got a bit of dirt on you. That being said, I did hire you though, so your contract would be broken if you died. That would be a mess of paper to deal with. But, Blackie is kinda hungry, so…." He said right before clapping his hooves together. Blackie then slammed her tail onto Blood, who disappeared into the opening of the tail. A few squelches later and Blackie patted her belly. You could still hear Blood inside her though.
"Gaa fuck get me out of here, Muttly do something.” she yelled, continuing with,"it's so squishy, and my armor is making sounds I don't like." Featherlight then walked up to the Cybele's belly and said,"well your armor is getting digested, and so are your weapons. Enjoy that."
“What does it sound like the mares you raped,” I asked. Blood just responded with,"Yesss make it stop, she whined like a filly.” I laughed because that's what she will be in a few months. Featherlight then tapped on the Cybele's belly, causing Blackie to expel a now naked Blood Rose. It was Vee's turn.
Vee started to walk to Blood Rose as she started to stumble around, expelling the few gastric juices that did manage to get into her mouth, all while Blood said,"No stay away from meee." She whined hysterically.
Vee then said,"well, I don't think I'll listen to you, you traitorous cur. Now, with that said, I'm sure you can guess what gonna happen next right." As she said it, she grabbed Blood by her shoulders and got her to stare into her eyes.
Blood was mesmerized and started to relax as Vee then popped her jaw loose. She then carefully started to maneuver her mouth around Blood so as to not hurt Blood. Once Blood was halfway into her mouth, Vee then started to carefully swallow Blood Rose. A minute later, Rose was safely ensconced in Vee's belly, who now gave a hearty pat on her belly.
Blood then came out of the mesmer and immediately started her foul mouth again."Fuck you fuck all of you,” she yelled ferverantly. Vee blushed as her belly moved as Blood tried to reposition herself to struggle.
“I Giggled and said there will be plenty of that tonight,” I said. Vee then blushed a little more as she rubbed her stomach. "Oh wow, you're good at moving around aren't you, my little Rose." Vee said.
"Well I guess you won’t be hungry tonight” I joked. Vee just continued to blush.
That's when I was tackled to the Ground by Valentine
“Compass, Guess what? The Cybele ate a fly! It was so Cute! Hey, what's up with Virtuous and her belly? Why is it moving?" Valentine said and asked excitedly.
“You’ll find out when you're older,” I said. She just smiled and said,"well, that's something I never thought I would hear again." Blood Rose then decided to cut in, still foul mouthed. “Shut up you little succubus Bitch you're the reason I am in here..”
“Oh that's what is in Vee’s Belly the dumb vagina pony…”Valentine said and then stuck her tongue out. Vee then smiled and then began to say,"She's just upset because she's gonna have to go through puberty again later, that and the whole getting turned into nutrition part. Will say though, She's got some fight to her, and I'm gonna need some alone time with Compass later. "
“Oh You don’t want another Succubus to join,” I joked. Vee then looked at me and said,"no, not till she gets a bit older. Otherwise, we'd end up having a few moral issues." She said before giving a hearty belch.
“But I am Older than Compass,” Valentine whined, only to get a rebuttal of,"well if you consider when you were first born yes, but how about when you got reborn from getting eaten by a succubus?" By a certain Braided Steel.
That doesn't count. I hate Evil mama…" Valentine said, Vee then gave another belch and Rose Blood then shot out her rebuttal to the belch.
“You stupid bitch let me out of here! Aww My Leg!” Vee smiled at the response and said,"well, if you didn't like your leg, check out your mane. You're only in my first stomach, which is just working on your hooves and mane, later on, my second stomach will work on your flesh, I bet you won't survive 30 minutes in there." She said before giving another belch.
"Awwww fucking Hell, what have you done,” Rose said, and Vee simply replied with," well I ate you, that's what happened. Don't worry, I'm sure you won't mind getting reborn in 12 months. You won't have any memories, and all your sins will be removed. If anything, I'm doing you a favor." She said, and Blood Rose replied with, “No I don’t want to die."
Vee just retorted with,"well, maybe next time don't betray your employer. With that said, I think it's time for a nap, how about you get some sleep in there. It's past your bedtime." She said as she rubbed her belly.
“Since when did I have a bedtime…” Blood whined.
"Since I decided to make you my child, after all, I said something about rebirth, didn't I?" Vee retorted with a smile. Blood's movements in her belly started to slow down.
“I hope you rot in hell a s-second time…” Blood yelled her words starting to slur.
"Now now, be quiet. After all, you're getting sleepy aren't ya? A good nap is all you need." Vee said, her belly rubs more smooth and calm as Blood stopped struggling. "I'd be cranky myself if I was up for as long as you have been."
“Vee you sure you want a brat such as her as our child…” I asked. She looked at me with a kindness in her eyes and said,"she won't be the same mare this time around. She'll be raised much differently instead of how she was raised before. I'm sure you agree. Course, to avoid the whole part succubus, I think I need some bat pony genes to be donated. Part bat, part earth pony. She'll be a strong one don't ya think?"
“But will she be able to fly if she has those combined genes,” I asked. She shrugged and said,"I don't know, guess that one is a roll of the dice. I would love her either way." She then got up and said,"well, I need to go find a place to nap now that she's quieted down. Would you love to join me for a nap my love? Just a nap, until this belly gets softer for you at least." She gave me the sweetest smile.
"Yeah, after all that, I kinda need a nap." I said and then I started to follow her.
“Oh the Vee needs a cat nap or is it something else you need," I giggled. She smiled and said,"Both, but one can wait, to breed on a full stomach of pony would result in a messy situation, and I don't wanna have to swallow her again."
"So no belly rubs then,” I giggled some more. She smiled and said,"yes to the belly rubs, heck you can sleep on my full belly. I wouldn't mind it at all. Course, the gurgles and the eventual massive belch may wake you up." She then giggled after saying it.
“I think it might be a good Idea for you to go to the filly's room before your nap. That bitch will probably give you diarrhea…” I said, but Vee then said,"probably not diarrhea, more like the opposite issue. I don't think it will matter much. That being said, I do need to pee."
“Does my Vee need diapers too?” I said. And she said,"Maybe, considering she's pressing on my bladder, oh well, it's just for one night." She gave me a slick smile, and I had a feeling she wouldn't mind the diapers at all.
"Well let's get you to the bathroom, and me out of this Filly issue." I said, only to feel Vee give my head a pat and a scratch."oh that, well that will wear off during the nap. Course, you're so cute as a filly, almost cute enough to make a joke."
“Now you got me worried, no joke from Vee…” I said. She made me eat those words by saying,"well, with you worried, you're cute enough to eat up."
“Yeah no thank you I have been in your belly once…” I said, remembering how I got onto this mess in the first place. Vee just chuckled and said,"yes, that is definitely true, I believe it's your second time in my stomachs?"
"Yeah please don’t make it a third…” i said bluntly, she just giggled and laughed,"sure, I'll try my hardest not to have you have that again. Course, no promises, because I only willingly had you in my stomach to possibly save your life. Nope, tonight, you get to lay on it."
“Compass,” Said Alex.”
“Yeah,” I said, wondering what he needed.
“I heard you were in my Cloudys ass what was it like…”
“Uhh…” my face turned as pink as Vee’s fur.
Great! Now I have competition… I thought to myself.
Vee laughed at us and said,"ah, this seems familiar to me. Sorry Alex, as cute as you are, that ship has sailed. I'm sure you'd agree in some way. My mate is Compass, and that's that. I still love you though, you’ll always be the first and that's not even something Compass can have..."
“Yeah well Compass I bet you’d like to know some of her kinks…” Alex said, and Vee just smiled.
“Well, yeah I kinda do…” I was cut off
“Oh sorry you can’t please those kinks without a dick…" Alex said, the two of us looked at each other and giggled.
“Oh I think Me and Vee got that covered.” I said, and he scratched his head as to my meaning. To help clarify, Vee pulled out a bottle and threw it at him. "Read that label." She said to him.
“Oh… Well thanks for the potion, I can use this." But Vee shot him a look and she then said,"you gonna give me a hundred shards for that, that's a permanent one, so rare and expensive."
“That's not what the bottle said,” he giggled, "I had reading lessons since you last saw me. Got taught by dragons my, was that a good lay…"
"Well, ok.." Said Vee, who gave a blank look."I think I'll go get that nap as well as the restroom break."
“Mind if I watch…" Alex asked
Simple reply,"nope…" And Vee then left and entered the bathroom.
“Damn I was going to ask the same…" I said.
“Wow, little Compass likes the Vee, and in more than one way….”
“Shut up, I bet I get more cock than you…”
“You sure little horse…”
“Uh…” I blushed. Wishing i didn’t say what I said
Vee then exited the bathroom and smiled.
“I never thought I’d say this but I think you're out matched in Wit Vee…” I said.
“Yeah and out matched in size,” he said.
“Stoke your ego for me, but you're not the one stroking me. Anyway I wouldn't say much, her wings are just an illusion to how big she gets." She said, a massive smile that was so sly, it got me a little hot and bothered.
Wow, Vee was lying to Alex for me how nice… I Thought to myself, feeling a little bit of depretion. She then looked at me and opened a bottle, emptied it into her mouth, kissed me and forced me to drink the fluid she put into her mouth. I knew this taste, but it's a bit stronger than last time. She then smiled and said,"told you she's bigger."
“Um…" My face was beet red, and the wait between my legs was about to make me fall. It was worth it though for Alex's face.
“Still a filly,” I whined… trying to keep the wait between my legs from making me fall. Vee then looked at me and said, "oops, I did a dumb." I then heard Blood Rose say, droziedly and upset,"can I at least digest in peace, you guys are noisey." Vee just looked at her stomach and said,"well, she has a point. Let's go ahead and get to that bed."
“Carry me…” I said not thinking I could walk with how much weight was between my legs.
Thinking of how I ended up here and how I now have one even bigger. I remember holding on to Oakheart as I rode on his back when hurt by the timber wolves and being stunned at the size… Now I have one of my own and it even makes me look small… Oh wait I am… and now that I am a filly I am even smaller.
“That Dick is the size of Compass,” Alex Giggled. And Vee looked and said,"um..let's fix that…"she then gave me a potion. I of course drank it, and the weight went away, thankfully. She then said,"well, this adventure is a bit...much. Can we please go to bed now?"
“Can you still carry me?” I said Laying on my back and looking at her with puppy dog eyes.
She looked at me and said,"I would, but ah, I got my own things to carry. Maybe next time." She said with a belch afterwards.
Alex Then said," if you keep looking at her like that you could end up looking like me… A dog.” Blood then replied with,"Woof little bitch.” which was followed by Vee saying,"oh look at that, I think I just melted a hoof."
“Aww my other leg.”
