Chapter 6 - Welcome to the Clan Welp, you are a Apple now... 3/3

"Look who's up and about, welcome home Apples" said one of the royal appointed farmers to help take care of the Apple Orchard with all coming benefits of working for the gavourment.

6 groups of eatch 5 farmer would assist the Apple Orchard of the Apple clan with their work. To be precise, 2 farmers as in Earthponys, 2 Unicorns as help to the Earthponys and one Pegasus for weather control.

To Bright Mac's and Butter Cups absolutely horrific discovery, did the hired help had their work duty on the Apple trees the wrong way around.

Instead of the Earthponys bucking the Trees and filling the enchanted boxes with Apples and the Unicorns storing them for transportation, was the Unicorns picking the Apple with their telekinesis and the Earthponys moved them to storage.

For over a week did they worked that way and contaminated all Apples they worked with. Since they managed the workload of what Bright Mac would have needed 3 months for was unfortunately the stock of compromised Apples huge.

To show the new helping hooves the difference, did Bright Mac let them all taste test one 'Red Delicious' made 'the Earthponys way' from picking to loading into the crate and them tasting the same with Unicorn influences.

There was indeed a different after taste after the consumption in their mouth.

Bright Mac was furious that he had a week worth of help with three months of profit that could not be sold to their usual customers.

When Celestia learned of this, did she buy all afflicted Apples through her own personal Cake fund and sold it of to the Griffons in Griffonia at 1/3 price.

The Apple clan had not lost any profit or reputation and the Griffons of Griffonia were very happy with her spontaneous generosity.

So mutch so that many poor Family's throw away their piss poor origins in their home land and immigrants started to flood Equestria of the poorest of Griffonias citizens.

While Celestia had some seriouse problems of organization to get them well enough housed, feeded and integrated into Equestria, did the additional help in working power and filling out Equestrias military ranks out, payed big time years down the line.

Funny how Harmony sometimes worked.

The Nobel Griffons of Griffonia suspected a dark ploy from the Pony nation, but their investigation simply showed that the Griffons immigrants were the lowest level of citizens they had and most of them had not more than the basic education.

In the end did the Griffonia nobility ignored this massiv migration and only years later learned how mutch they screwed themselves over losing so mutch working forces and low grade income and tax paying population.

Three weeks did it take for the Apple clan to learn in their new work force and settle into a lifestyle between half time farmer and full time filly & dragon hatchling raising low level nobility.

The Apples had since the longest time enjoyed the 5th rank of Nobel status to give them a 10% discount and selling bonus from Equestrias gavourment. With their direct service to the crown under Princess Celestias orders did they got officially raised to Nobility of the 4th rank.

A 4th rank nobel could buy stuff from the gavourment at a 20% discount but still only received only 10% bonus selling to them.

Sometime the nobels tried to change that they never received more than 10% selling to the gavourment no matter if 5th or 1th rank nobels, but the economy would not be tanked by greedy individuals like some half braindead Apes.

While the Apple family of the Apple Orchard in Ponyville settle into their respective new responsibilities and their training regiment, did the Foals enjoyed more family time than ever before. The dragon hatchling was already used to being carried up and down stairs, while walking all over the house and occationaly on the farm side by side with its siblings.
Life was good!

Life was anything but good.
Celestia had a new stud for booty calls, but he more often than not had to be let go after ten rounds of bed gymnastic's with him having to leave the same day later to continue his duty in Ponyville, by helping to care for the dragon youngling Cynder.

At least his earth pony nature allowed him to participate the first three rounds and endure fourth to six, while surviving seven to ten.

That stud had more endurance then 10 unicorns stallions combined and twice their output when properly watered and potions force-fed.
Good times... Good times...

But recently did her bodys magic was on the fritz and the royal physician wanted to make additional test before committing to results that in his words: "Would not unnecessary stress her if unfounded."
Tomorrow would she have definitely a answer for her magic unstability and her strange tasting buds malfunctions.

Celestia had a bad feeling about this, yet somehow she was giddy anticipating the result behind this odd occurrence.

The rumors had already started to spread all over Equestria from her having some Alicorn sickness up to her being knocked up by the inofficially existence of a supposed to existing Royal Guard harem. Guess it serves her right starting that after forgetting to wipe her productiv stud eggnog from her face before ordering her bedroom chamber guards to ask a maiden to ask the chef cooks to make or bake a hollow cream pie.

That sure had the maiden of the castle grounds tittering in inappropriate but accurate jokes.

Bright Mac was slowly starting to panic, he could not seem to find his little trouble makers.
After they had received brand new enchanted cardboard boxes that weigh only a fraction of a wooden box, did he lost sight of the foals and the usualy easy to find hatchling.

Not only did he couldn't find them, someone was pranking him by placing three boxes of the ones with a picture of a orange, a red delicious apple and a purple grapes wine bottle near where he already searched his foals.
Instead of gloating that the Black Hoove ponies could move unseen, should they help him find the three run aways before something happens to them.

Meanwhile Bright Mac was continued to be followed around by 'empty cardboard boxes'...
Somewhere in the multiverse Solid Snake feel proud all of a sudden.

Three black hoove agents watched in amusement and slight admiration how Bright Mac was followed around by the ones he was looking for.

They agreed that as silly as the younglings had used the Cardboard boxes, it worked as long their hiding boxes did not seem to be out of place or in a obstructing way in the room.

Example:
Alongside the walls and near doors, while not being placed as to give somecreature reasons to move them.

They would have to add this silly yet effective way of hiding to their arsenal.

As the apple stallion looked around and showed clear signs of distress, did two of the black hoove agents played distraction for the foals benefit and as one group was presented without cardboard boxes hiding them, to the stallion.
The hug the younglings got was to mutch of a incentive to not again pulling that trick once more in the future.

"Thank you for helping me finally finding them, i really started to get desperate. No matter that i know 6 black hoove agents in two teams of eatch 3 are on the orchard at all times with sentry guards watching the Orchards fences." He said and he froze in a shiver when he remembered how the Timberwolfs not to long ago had a drop on them... luck like that usually wasn't something one should relaying on.

"So you can talk sooner to me next time you find them sneaking away from me to play
'hide and seek', i think its understandable that at their age danger assessment isn't up to stuff..." he said.

The black hoove agents politely nodded their head in affirmation and once more dissappear into the darkness.

When Bright Mac watched them reposition, did he admitted to himself that he never see anything like it.
Bespite being inside a well illuminated barn, did the black hoove blended into it without leaving traces behind.

One climbed a ceilling pillar and observed from there the area and everything in it. He resembeld a fruitbat in waiting.

The second one almost melded with a semi dark shadow near some piles of the new cardboard boxes. To Bright Mac surprised eyes did he seem to take on the color around him and become a misshaped but still fitting in object.

Clearing out a table, did one last black hoove take a sit on it. It was redicules how the assassin just sit there like a out of place picture in a empty room. When Bright Mac lifted the foals of the ground and on his back with Cynder claiming the space below his hat, did the agent that prior had been just simply sitting on a table, dissappeard.

Something keep Bright Mac's eyes to busy to avoid him from watching the point where he know to last see the Black Hoove agent sitting like a Fluffy pony in the middle of a empty room.

Yet no matter how mutch he tried to force himself, his line of sight where the assassin still had to sit, refused to acknowledge the pony in his resting place.

Butter Cup and Granny Smith were rather amused that they hear later how the three younglings manage to hide in plain sight from Bright Mac.

"Yes, I don't know how but why ever the black hooves insisted that the foals never left the barn and messing with me by reposition cardboard boxes behind me as to probably test their skill of stealthy walking around me, did i had the feeling that the three muffins on four legs vanished
into thin air. It was so bizarre..."
He said to his wife and his mother.

"I am genuinely curious how the three pulled it off."

While the adults talked did the Foals and hatchling used their father as improvised warm bed to nap.

While it was decades from happening, did Nightmare Moon and Luna decided it was time for them to train a new generation of dream walkers for their service to them. Once they returned to Equestria with the end of their magicaly imposed banishment.

Cynder was to learn the basics about
'dream walking'.
While it would keep her slightly mentally fatigued after eatch training lesson, would it greatly help her and others to be armed with this knowledge.

Since theoretical everycreature can learn to use 'dream walking' with the right training, was there a huge difference between the abilities of one that merely manage to observe dreams and someone that, actually could effect them.
The most powerful could even dare nightdream parasite hunts.
While it was dangerous to perform it, did it reward was potentially endless.

Starswirl the bearded become as powerful as he was because he feed regularly on the parasitic lifeforms plaging the dream realm. This race of vermin practiced cannibalism on their own vile kind to become stronger and evolve.
That why some of them had over the decades or even centuries become stronger, smarter and most dangerously: Adaptive.

A regular nightdream parasite wasn't more than a instinctualy driven fear devouring being.
After a not researched and clearly not defined threshold is reached, they evolve to become as smart as a rabid puppy.

From there on out they have multible stages of evolution, but eventually they become self aware and the most dangerous and from then on potencial lethal, are the sapient nightdream parasites.

Newly evolved ones might make the mistake killing their victim and leaving a trail behind for the before Lunas banishment established royal 'Dream Guard' to find and hunt them down in the dream realm.

The most dangerous are hitting the category 'Tantabus' and are as smart or smarter as every sapient counted species.

The eradication of their vile Species is practically impossible do to their nature, but they can be indeed be culled with enough effort to be a manageable threat.

Cynder would serve Equestria and other nations well, while growing in strength and eventually become a master of the dream arts.
Unlike ponies that had a maximal life span of 200 years as a Earthpony tribe member, could Dragons life up to ten of thousands of years before a fellow Dragon eventually slay them.

It would be a interessting idea to explore if the hatchling Cynder could be used as political figurehead.
If the Equestrian royal family could manage to make her their Dragon High-Lord one day, could it be attempted to forge permanent ties to the dragon race once more.

Perhaps the on extinction edging Kirin/Nirik could get new bloodlined added, once dragons started to mate with ponys that are compatible with some of their subraces like the Night Terror or the Colossus dragon strain.

Nightmarem Moon was expectedly
Tackle-Hugged by the dragon hatchling.
Since they had established one months after her hatching a viable and well working verbal connection, did Cynder and the royal sisters become fast friends.

The now not even half a year old hatchling was unexpectedly intelligent, but very playful. There wasn't a singel dream realm meeting that didn't start or end with a tickel fight.
Sometimes Luna conjure pillows up and the three found themselves in a war, where they would try to storm a pillow forged Castle in their well crafted pillow armor.
It was sometimes very silly, but always very entertaining.

But it was not all dream realm lessons & fun games.

Actions have consequences.
With Cynder's growth in dream walking, did she become like a Lighthouse for many minor nightdream parasites.
When ever Luna and Nightmare Moon had Cynder actually rest and simply dream herself, did a rather large number of parasites try to feast on the fears of the hyper intelligent hatchling.

If one could bleed in the dream realm, the royal sisters might have to be wary of drowning in rivers of blood from slaying wave after wave of intruders into Cynders mind.

But to be fair... The royal sisters had not for countless centuries so mutch fun and entertainment.

If they slay the vile invaders with Ice/Fire-Sword and Dream-Scythe or bare hooves was objectively a minor detail.

Save to say noone had a laugh at the end other than them, feasting on their magical energy.

Their through magical means staying alive body were is rough shape do to neglected muscle training and lack of superficial things like food and nutrition, but they could help themself with the additional magical strength they gained to rebuilding their bodys slowly.

Instead of bearly alive husks of bone and skin with bearly enough muscles to hold them standing, would they be back at their peak strength as if never banished in the first place.

Of course would they have to worry about weakened immune systems and getting back to slowing down their magic consumption that had become a requirement for them to staying alive on the moon.

When they would finally return on the 10.000 Summer Solstice after their banishment, would everything change...
Beginning with making the dragon youngling family. The Alicorn royals had to thank her for all she did when appearing on the moon as a egg, up to the day the would finally meet in pony.
