Fall of Equestria: For Honor (revamp)

After explaining his actions to the queen, Wulfric had returned once more to the changeling kingdom to resupply his troops and to get to know his knew animal companions now under the care of Fluttershy who seemed more than happy to look after them, especially the female dire wolf and her pups. The queen however was very displeased at this sudden development and secret alliance he made with Princess Luna and warned that any such actions in the future would result in their partnership being terminated, this spectacle amused his new comrade Ryu as they left the chambers together.

"Trust me when I say: you really don't wish to be on my mother's bad side." Ryu warned his new comrade as they departed the throne room.

As Wulfric and Ryu came down, Arminius greeted them. "Wulfric! Come, have a drink with us. Sigrid confirmed we're having another child!"

"You gotta be shitting me." Wulfric chuckled as he was handed a drink.

"No joke, Fluttershy even helped me confirm it!" Sigrid said when showing him a strange device with two pink lines on it.

"What is this?"

"It's called a pregnancy test, it let's you know if your significant other is expecting a baby or not." Fluttershy explained while Wulfric seemed unconvinced.

"And you got all that from this little device?"

"Yes but you might wanna wash your hands, I had to pee on that." Sigrid said making her friend drop the test and frantically wipe his hands on his clothes.

"Ingenious. Yet, disgusting," Arminius said before hugging his wife.

"Well celebrate while you can, tomorrow we strike at our enemy." Wulfrics expression became serious as he placed his drink down.

"Tomorrow, Ryu and his men will escort us to an enemy fortress just on the borders of the swamp and from the intel they've gathered it's full of slave as well as supplies we'll need for this war to truly begin."

Arminius grew serious as well before setting aside his drink. "Excuse me. I have an ax to sharpen." Arminius and his family walked past the others to get ready for tomorrow. Soon, all the members of the Ghost tribe went to their rooms and prepared for the upcoming war.

"And afterwards you can grind..." Sigrid paused to adjust her top and winked at Wulfric.

"Something else~."

"Uh...hold on, you two are married!" Applejack protested.

"And you're pregnant!" Rainbow said while watching the shield maid take Wulfric away.

"I don't know how you ponies do things but up north, we don't mind sharing~." Sigrid said before kissing Wulfric and her husband in front of everyone.

"Besides, I feel like celebrating~."

"It's always a celebration with you, dear," Arminius lightened up before picking her up. "The weapon can wait. You need my attention more~."

The ponies gawked as they watched the three head towards the room with Sigrid giggling from her husbands antics.

"Oh wait." She said before getting down and taking Wiglaf in her arms.

"First we need to get this one to bed."

"But I'm not sleepy." Wiglaf said before yawning.

"What have I told you about a tired warrior?" Arminius asked his son.

"They die foolishly," Wiglaf said before rubbing his eyes. "I guess I am a little tired."

"Come on then, mama will tuck you in," Sigrid rubbed her nose against Wiglaf's nose. "March."

Wiglaf giggled as he walked towards the bedroom and was tucked in by his parents.

"Sleep well my little drengr." Arminius smiled while kissing his sons forehead as Sigrid draped the blanket over him.

"Night papa, night mama."

"Sweet dreams my little one." Sigrid said before they quietly left the room and headed to their bedchambers, unaware that Rainbow and Applejack were following.

"Are we really doing this?" Applejack whispered as they hid in the corner of the hall.

"We need to be sure we can actually trust these guys or do you wanna be enslaved again?" Rainbow whispered back before seeing a silhouette of Sigrid disrobing while both men started to feel her up.

"Mmm you boys are so needy~."

"Not our fault." Arminius went and locked lips with his wife before continuing. "You were the one who was eager to celebrate~." He said before taking her breast in his mouth.

"Nnnn~...I'm not lactating yet my love~."

SPANK!

Sigrid yelped as she felt Wulfric spank her before he turned her head and locked her in a passionate kiss.

"Mmm~." he hummed as their tongues wrestled while she reached into his pants to feel his hard rod.

"Mmm husband, get me wet~." She moaned while gently pushing Arminius down further.

"Yes, dear wife~," Arminius licked his lips before diving in and eating out his wife's pussy.

"Mmm~." Sigrid hummed while getting Wulfrics hands to squeeze her left breast and butt as all three began to move down to the floor mats while Rainbow and Applejack continued to watch.

"Rainbow we should stop." Applejack said before seeing Sigrid get on all fours and shook her rear at the two stags.

"Hold on!" Rainbow hissed before watching Arminius mount her.

"And I love your plump juicy ass~." Arminius smirked while giving her a squeeze.

"Nnng~! I can't wait for our baby to be born~." She moaned as Wulfric got into position.

"Not to be rude but I think we can put that mouth to better use~."

"So you say," Sigrid smirked before gripping Wulfric's cock and giving it a couple of strokes. "Mmm, but I do love the feeling of a cock in my mouth~." She then licks under his shaft before taking the whole thing down her throat.

"Aaah! Damn she's aggressive." Wulfric growled as she got to work on his cock and began pushing against both stags in rhythm.

"Mmm...mmm...mm~." She looked up at Wulfric with bedroom eyes before he grabbed her by the antlers and started to force his way down her throat harder.

"MM~!! Mmmm."

Outside the room, both mares were shocked at how well Sigrid was in control of both men despite her position and gasped when they saw her reach for her husbands sack and gave it a hard squeeze, signaling she wanted him now.

"Whoa...and ponies say I'm intense." Rainbow said before watching Arminius ram her like a beast.

Arminius let out a large huff of hot air and started to really fuck his wife like a beast. Letting out a few snorts, he grabbed Sigrid's waist and unloaded everything he had in her. "Hah! Hah! Hah! If you weren't already pregnant! Hah! You are now~!"

"MMMM~!!" Sigrids eyes rolled back as her womb was once again filled with her husbands seed but she was far from satisfied as she dislodged from Wulfric and proceeded to bend over for him.

"Now Wulfy~." She called him by a pet name while spreading her ample cheeks apart.

"Take me here~."

"Feel honored, my friend. Took me nearly two years before my dear wife allowed me access to that hole," Arminius said before lifting Sigrid's chin. "You must be very horny today."

"Mmm, I'm always horny when we have an audience," Sigrid moaned before looking over at the corner. "Ladies. Do you intend to stay and watch, or perhaps join and see how a real male should treat their female?" Sigrid then kissed Arminius' cheek. "Especially their mate~."

Both Applejack and Rainbow were about to make a break for it when two shield maids appeared behind them with devilish grins and escorted them into the room just as Wulfric rammed his way into Sigrids rear and made her moan with lust.

"Nnnng~!" Wulfric grunted as they were taken in.

"I see you girls met Thora and Luta, my bodyguards."

Sigrid moaned as he began humping her at a modest pace while giving her cheeks a few spanks.

Both Applejack and Rainbow tried to speak, but the scent of sex hung heavily in the room. Much as they tried to resist, they couldn’t help feel their knees getting weak.

“Are…are you…not being forced?” Rainbow managed to ask Sigrid.

"Darling, does it look like I'm being forced?" Sigrid asked the two ponies before flipping Wulfric to the ground and she sat on his pelvis, giving the girls a good show of her body being pleasured.

“Holy horseapples…” Applejack muttered.

“Would you believe us if we told you those two have had their way with us too?” Thora whispered in Applejack’s ear.

“It’s true,” Luta said. “And before you ask, no, they didn’t force us either. We’re just privileged to sometimes join in on the fun. However, when it’s just those three, we’re happy to just watch.”

"Well, hold on," Arminius said as his shaft became hard again. "There's no need to simply watch." He smirked at the two shieldmaidens as they smirked back while taking off their gear. Thora sat on Wulfric's face while Luta sat on Arminius' cock. "Hello again, Luta~."

"My lord~." Luta giggled before riding his cock.

"Mmm see girls, men from the north like women who take charge~." Thora giggled before feeling her chieftain bite her on the right cheek.

"EEP! If you wanna join, feel free~."

"Uhh I think we'll pass..." Applejack said while watching them get frisky and left but oddly as she rushed out the room with Rainbow she felt strangely jealous before turning back to see all five of them all over each other as their moans began to fill the hall.

"Mmm darn, she had a cute ass~." Thora said before letting out a moan.

"And that Pegasus had some decent abs," Luta said before being bounced harder. "Oh, fuck~!"

"Nnng less talking girls, more fucking~!" Sigrid growled before Wulfric managed to get Thora off him and pin her head to the ground.

"Ohhh yes Wulfy, buck me like you own me~!"

"Grr damn I'm starting to wish you were my wife~!" Wulfric grinned while Arminius humped Luta against the wall.

"You like that Luta~?" he asked as she yelped with her eyes rolling back.

"Oooh~! Yes~!" Luta screamed as her cheek was pressed against the wall. "I love it when you take charge of my pussy~!"

"What about me?" Thora whined until hearing her friends give one last moan as they were filled to the brim.

"Mmm~!" Sigrids eyes rolled back as she bit her lip whole Luta panted with her legs trembling.

"Gods hah...hah...that was amazing-MM!" Luta's eyes went wide as Arminius kissed her.

"Thora~?" Wulfric gestured for his bodyguard to turn around.

"It's going to be a long night, hope you can satisfy us both~." He grinned before getting a firm grip on her hips.

The Next Morning

Sigrid, Thora and Luta awoke completely nude but were satisfied after their little romp last night and smiled at their two sleeping studs as the sun peeked through the windows.

"My lords, it's time to get up." Thora said before playfully nibbling Wulfrics ear.

"Mmm stag tired, sleep now." Wulfric grumbled before Luta pulled him into her chest for cuddles.

"No can do my lord, you gave the queen your word~."

"Mmm fine."

Sigrid enjoyed the feeling of her husband snoring away as his head nestled against her crotch before patting his cheeks. "My chief. It is time to wake.

"Mmm, been awake. Just wanted to be closer to my wife's sweet flower." Arminius' comment earned him a conk on the head from his wife. "I deserved that."

"Now let's get ready and prepare for today's mission." She smiled as they freshened up and went to get their son who was being dressed by the queens handmaids.

"Oh good morning my lord and lady, isn't today beautiful?" One of them asked while fixing Wiglaf's shirt.

"I believe so. Son, get ready to go. We have work today," Arminius told his son.

"Can I come too?"

"Not this time sweetie. It'll be too dangerous even for you." Sigrid said as Wiglaf began to pout.

"Aww no fair!"

"You'll thank your mother and me when you have all your limbs," Arminius told his son. "Tell you what. You can keep watch of the camp. Use your bow if you'd like."

"Really?"

"Yes but only guard the camp, understood?" Sigrid asked while booping her sons nose.

"Yes ma'am!"

As Wiglaf went to prepare, the two of them noticed that all the servants of the palace seemed more chipper than before even as they were doing their daily cleaning.

"Is it me or are they more cheerful than usual?" Arminius asked before spotting Ryu.

"Ah, there you are Ryu. Did the castle receive some good news or did we miss something?"

"If you're referring to the sudden change of mood then we have you five to thank for that. You...weren't exactly quiet." Ryu smirked while Sigrid blushed.

"Well not my fault my husband is a beast in the sheets~."

"You're no slouch in that department either my dear," Arminius said before kissing his wife's neck. "I hope you all had a good feast," He told Ryu.

“That’s an understatement,” Ryu said and rolled up his sleeve. The holes that were on his arm were much smaller than before. “It’s been some time since we changelings felt love like yours. You could even say you managed to revitalize the whole hive with your love. It just goes to show just how different you are compared to the Stonehoofs.”

"You haven't been feeding since they invaded?" Wulfric asked in surprise.

"My friend, there is a fine line between true love and uncontrollable lust." Ryu said before gesturing them to follow.

"We will use your longships to navigate the swamp, We know these waters better than any creature in Equestria."

"We're coming too." Applejack called out as she marched towards the group with Rainbow and the others.

"We've been itching to get some payback on them bastards."

"Can you fight?" Wulfric asked while looking her over.

"Wulfric, remember the last time you asked a female that," Arminius whispered in Wulfric's ear just as Applejack cracked her knuckles.

WHAM!!

Before he knew what happened, a solid punch hit him straight in the jaw as he fell to the ground and he began seeing stars.

"That answer yer question?" Applejack said while walking off as Rainbow tried to contain her laughter.

"You should see your face right now!"

The chieftain sat up completely dumbfounded as he watched the farm mare leave and could swear she looked back to smile at him.

"What a woman..." He said while still in a daze.

"Now I really like her," Thora said as she watched the mares walk away.

"Luta...get them outfitted..."

"With pleasure. Oh girls?"

The group met at the abandoned village where the raiders had begun prepping their gear as they sharpened their swords and loaded their quivers when Ryu noticed some of them drinking a strange brew in the middle of the camp.

"What's that they're drinking?"

"Berserker brew." Arminius said as they watched.

"Dulls the pain, makes them act more like beasts then men and thanks to our elders we made some improvements."

"Improvements? Like what?" Ryu asked before he heard the men starting to shout like real savages.

"Well for starters, we don't have to drink each others piss anymore. Just toss it in some mead and it's ready to drink."

"You...drank piss..." Ryu said with disgust before noticing their womenfolk were donning warpaint and sharpening their blades.

"You bring your women into battle?"

"That a problem?" Wulfric asked after taking his own portion of the berserker brew.

"Well to be honest, the battlefield is no place for a woman." Ryu said as he watched them board one of the longboats.

"Hmph. Clearly you don't know our women." Wulfric smirked as he boarded the lead ship.

"SET SAIL!!"

As the longships sailed downriver, Ryu guided the raiders through the maze of the swamp until they spotted the outpost mentioned but made sure to stay out of sight.

"If we continue down this waterway, we should come up behind the outpost before low tide."

"What happens at low tide?" Arminius asked when he noticed a large cragadile cruising towards they outposts main gate as the soldiers were seen dumping scraps of food over the side.

"It's when they start looking for scraps..."

"They're about to get a few more scraps once we get in," Arminius said before bringing out a few pieces of armor that belonged to the Stonehooves. "Alright, the plan is that a few of us sneak in disguised as the enemy. When night falls, we kill the guard and open the gate for the rest."

"I will be joining as well." Ryu said as he removed the heavier parts of his armor to don a more light outfit.

"My troops and I will take out the archers along the wall and secure the main gate."

"What can I do?" Wiglaf asked his father who smiled and ruffled his hair.

"You will keep a lookout for any signs of trouble. You see anything, fire an arrow into the air. Can you do that?"

"Yes papa."

"That's my boy."

"First women and now a child...you northlanders are a reckless bunch."

"We live each day like it's gonna be our last, without fear or regret." Wulfric smirked as continued through the maze of trees before finally coming up on the rear of the fortress.

"Ugh it stinks, must be where they dump their waste." Arminius covered his nose as a foul smell permeated the air.

"I've smelled worse in your laundry basket," Sigrid teased her husband as they moved through the sewer pipe.

Above, the group could hear the sound of slaves being raped and broken by the soldiers while crawling through the raw sewage until finally coming up to a drain inside the fortress. Wulfric was the first to peek out and saw they were in some kind of butcher shop after noticing the various meats hanging on the hooks and the bloodied knives left on a wooden table.

"This must be were they prep food for the beasts. Come on." He whispered while slowly getting out.

As they came out of the drain, they took on the guise of Stonehoof soldiers. As Sigrid put on the gauntlet for her husband, she let out a disgusted grunt. "Ugh, you look terrible in this."

"I know. I feel like a pile of shit with this on," Arminius said while pulling his hood over his head. "Stay here with the girls until we give the signal."

"Already ordering me around are you?" She asked with a smirk. The two then bring their foreheads together. "Be safe, my love."

"Always." They share a kiss before separating.

The two then stepped out into the main hall of the fort where a large feast was held for the troops and at the head of the table was their commander.

"I know him, that's Olaf. One of Dainn's captains." Wulfric said as the large stag forced a kiss on his female slave before forcing her down on his rod in front of his men.

"Suck it bitch!"

"YEAAAH!!"

Wulfric was ready to charge in until Arminius grabbed his shoulder and shook his head as they continued to blend in with the crowd.

As they walked around the main hall, they noticed a few females that Arminius recognized as his tribe members. He and Wulfric went over to them, making them cower until Arminius stooped down and had them look at his face. "Chief?" One of the cows asked in disbelief.

"Hello, Hilda," The two shared a hug before backing away so as not to cause suspicion. "Wulfric and his tribe are here to free you and take the fortress."

"How?" one of the others whispered before Wulfric carefully handed her a dagger.

"When the fighting starts, you know what to do." He whispered before hearing the slave give a loud moan as Olaf took her on the table.

"You'll find the rest of our tribe in the dungeons below but you have to hurry." Hilda whispered as the men gave a quick nod and made their way to the forts prison area.

"I'll go through the back, you take the front." Arminius said as the two split up to avoid suspicion. Just as Wulfric rounded the corner of the hall, he suddenly bumped into Applejack who had snuck away from the others.

"What're you doing here?!?" He whispered furiously while making sure they weren't noticed.

"You boys looked like you could use some help." Applejack said while pulling him towards the side.

"Besides, I am not gonna sit on the sidelines like a helpless filly."

"Mmm...fine but stay close."

"Who goes there?" A guard called out as he rounded the next corner.

Without even thinking, Wulfric hoisted Applejack off the ground and pinned her to the wall like he was about to take her and made it look like they were kissing when the guard shined his lantern on them.

"Ahh found some company brother?" The guard asked as Wulfric grinded himself against AJ who let out a little yelp.

"I'll leave ya to it then."

After making sure the guard was gone, Wulfric stopped to look at Applejack who was completely flustered as her cheeks had become hot pink and her breathing was a little rapid.

"Sorry about that." He said while letting her down.

"W-wait..." Applejack huffed while making him look at her.

"Uhh... Apple-Mmmph!" Wulfric was interrupted when Applejack brought him in a kiss while dragging the two away to a quieter place.

The lovers found an empty spot behind some crates as Wulfric proceeded to lift Applejacks top open while she unbuckled his pants before being pinned to the wall again. Applejack had found herself in this position many times before but this was the first time she was willingly allowing herself to be ravaged by a northlander.

"Ah~!" She gasped after feeling his cock push into her before she was gently humped against the wall. Despite his strength and size, Wulfric was very gentle with her and even held her hand as she let out a few whimpers from being ploughed by his large member.

"Want me to stop?" Wulfric whispered while keeping a gentle pace.

Applejack shook her head while still crying but with a smile on her face. "Keep going," She told him before wrapping her legs around his waist. "This is the first time in a long time I've felt good doing this."

She kissed him once more as his thrusts became harder and rested her head on his shoulder while listening to him grunt with a smile on her face, for a while the two continued this unaware that Rainbow Dash was peeking in from around the corner and was listening to every sound and word they were making.

"Mmm we really should get back to the mission." Wulfric grunted while listening to Applejack quietly moan and pant as she gave him bedroom eyes.

"Your friend has this. Keep going~," Applejack said while twisting her nipple.

Rainbow watched from the shadows as the two continued and could not help but feel aroused as she watched her friend get pounded by Wulfric.

"Dammit...what's wrong with me?" She panted as she began to play with herself and watched as Wulfric humped her friend harder.

"Applejack, I'm gonna!" Wulfric grunted as the farm mare did her best not to scream from the intense pleasure.

"Go ahead, I'm gettin' real close~!" Applejack moaned before wrapping her arms around Wulfric as well as her legs.

Without thinking, Wulfric kissed her and flooded her insides with his seed as her eyes rolled back and she smiled through their kiss.

"MMM!! mmmm~..."

After a few more thrusts, Applejack was gently let down and the two redressed themselves while Rainbow was able to quietly finished without them noticing.

"Applejack I-" Wulfric was about to apologize when she pressed a finger to his lips and smiled.

"No need, Sugarcube," Applejack leaned forward and kissed his cheek before whispering. "When we take the fort, let's see if Dash wants in on this."

Applejack then pointed to a tuft of rainbow hair sticking out from behind a barrel before leading the way towards the dungeons where they found Arminius dispatching the last of the guards.

"About damn time, where in Hels teeth were you?" He asked while dragging the dead body into a broom closet.

"I was...occupied." Wulfric smirked to Applejack.

"Oh come on now." Arminius shook his head before breaking another set of chains.

Once the last of the prisoners were freed, Arminius made his way to the rear gate to find Ryu's men waiting and flashed his dagger in the moonlight twice, signaling them to cut the chains holding the gate shut before signaling the army with a warhorn.

"CHAAARGE!!" Surt shouted as he lead the charge into the fort.

The raiders flooded into the fort and began setting everything on fire while Sigrid helped the escaped slaves flee to the longships as the fighting escalated and the entire area was turned into a battleground.

"This way, stay close!" Sigrid said before an arrow narrowly missed her head.

"You're not going anywhere girly!" An enemy archer grinned before being shot in the back by Wiglaf.

"Keep going!" Sigrid shouted before turning to see Olaf fleeing into the swamp while his men were left to die.

While the battle raged on, a spy baring the mark of a red moon with a wolfs head watched the battle from atop a nearby tree as the fort was looted and the feasting hall was set ablaze by the raiders and when there was nothing more to see he vanished into the night like a ghost as if he was never there.

The soldier journeyed through the night his mount carrying him as fast as it could go till he came to a war camp where he was stopped at the entrance the scout simply removed a part of his armour that showed scorched flesh and the guards admitted entrance.

The scout ran directly to a large war tent in the centre of the camp where he was met by another pair of guards.

"I am to bring a report on the state of the fortress in the swamp." The scout said.

One of the guards silently held up their hands before he stepped into the tent and a moment later the guard stepped out and gestured for the scout to enter where he saw a large war table with a map of equestria upon it and on the map were several items descripting many positions such as Caribou strongholds and standing at the table was the scouts commander Bulwark and standing on the opposite side of the table was his princess the bringer of the night Princess Luna who was a damn sight more impressive now since she first arrived at their fortress dressed in armour as black as the abyss with white crescent moons decorating her pauldrons.

"Report." Princess Luna said not as an order or as a polite request.

"The fortress in the south has fallen the attackers were of ponies and caribou milady who bore a red banner with two crows and a sword and another banner that consisted of a screaming skull." The scout replied.

"Well I'll be damned so there are caribou who are opposing Diann and his Stonehoofs." Bulwark said.

"There is more sir...The one called Olaf...he was there but the coward fled." The scout said before he heard the leather of Bulwark's gloves creak as his fingers tensed in fury.

"Good, I'll see him soon enough."

"What of Rainbow Dash and Applejack?" Luna inquired.

"They were in the battle as well milady, fighting alongside the rebels and there's more..." The scout paused as he cleared his throat.

"Before the battle, Lady Applejack and the one known as Wulfric were seen well..."

"Out with it soldier." Bulwark demanded an answer.

"They were seen copulating just before the battle. Lady Applejack apparently gave herself over to him."

Silence for a time it was if all time inside the tent had simply stopped as usual the expression on Bulwark's face was unreadable thanks to the cold iron mask but Luna seemed thoughtful on this.

"Curious." Luna said.

"Was there anything else soldier?" Bulwark asked his voice showing no hint of rage or shock but was emotionless as his mask.

"Yes. They freed the female slaves at the fort and escorted them to safety. By now they should have returned to the changeling city which unfortunately I have still not been able to infiltrate." The scout bowed his head humbly before being dismissed by Luna.

"Bulwark, send a messenger to this Wulfric. I think it's time we spoke properly about our alliance."

"Milady?" Bulwark asked.

"He has proven himself trustworthy and we need as many allies as we can find until we reach The Crystal Empire. In the meantime, I'm sending you and your men to liberate Hollow Shades." Luna said as she and Bulwark walked over to the map.

"The city is too far for the enemy to launch a counteroffensive so you will have more than enough time to find new recruits and secure any supplies available. Once I have negotiated with the northern rebels, I will send for you."

"I understand your will be done." Bulwark responded as he placed a fist over his heart and an arm behind his back before he bowed before departing.

Bulwark seeked out his best rider and informed him of his task before he reported to the princess who handed him a scroll with the message.

The messager departed and rode towards the swamp and the home of the changelings the swamp was quiet as it was eerie but the messenger was unnerved by this and calmy rode through the murky surroundings before he gently pulled on the reigns bringing his mount to a stop.

"I come bearing a message for the one called Wulfric of The Warborn!" The messenger shouted as he pulled out the scroll and held it high over his head while gazing deep into the foggy swamp.

Like ghosts, the changelings emerged from the swamp in bursts of ghostly green flames as they approached Luna's messenger. Pharynx emerged from the mist with his hand gripping his sword as he seized the scroll and saw the wax seal baring Luna's mark.

"What is the purpose of this message?" He asked with a look of skepticism.

"I'm not at liberty to discuss my only orders was to deliver this message to Wulfric personally and no more." The messenger said.

"Hmm Lord Wulfric is currently at the fort on the other end of the swamp, my men will escort you their but you must leave your beast behind." Pharynx said as the messenger dismounted and handed his ride over to the changelings.

"A giant rock lizard, very difficult to tame one of these." One of the changelings said while petting the creature.

The messenger was brought to the fort via rowboat and saw the raiders were still busy clearing out the dead as corpses were tossed over the wall and into the float of cragadiles that had gathered below to feast.

"Luna's light, must've been quite the battle..." the messenger said as he watched another corpse get thrown over the wall.

"We'll go to the rear entrance, it's safer." Pharynx said as he steered clear of the feeding frenzy.

The group moved to the mentioned entrance and upon entry the messenger saw the raiders looting whatever they could find the sight made his stomach churn as memories surfaced of Stonehooves doing the same thing when Storm Wall fell.

But then he saw something unexpected. The slaves the rescued from the fort were being treated fairly, some were even being tended to by healers from the ghost clan and were given warm food and something to drink.

"Load up what you can and take it back to the city, we'll come back for the rest." Wulfric shouted to a longboat that was preparing to leave when he saw Pharynx come ashore.

"Pharynx, you missed the raid! Who's this?" he asked with a friendly smile.

The messenger said nothing and simply held out the scroll for Wulfric and as soon as Wulfric took the scroll the messenger turned to Pharynx.

"I'll be taking my mount now." the messenger said.

"Understood, my men will escort you safely to the swamps edge and you can make your way from there." Pharynx then called for one of Ryu's men to take the messenger back while Wulfric looked over the scroll.

"It's a message from Princess Luna."

"The princess? She's alright?" Applejack said while he continued to read the message.

"She wants to meet at the ruins of an old castle."

"We know where that is." Rainbow said while looking over his shoulder but the moment she got closer, she felt her heart beginning to race and her mind flashed back to what she saw him and Applejack were doing.

"One question...didn't that fella seem a little...off to you guys?" Applejack asked.

"You referring to his attire right?" Wulfric said as he rolled up the message.

"That man was burned alive and barely lived through it."

"How can you tell?" Pharynx asked.

"I could smell it on him." Wulfric said before going back to loading the longships.

"By the way, has anyone seen Arminius?"

"He said he was gonna wash up by the river, wanted to get that sewer smell off him." Rainbow said while pointing in the direction of the river.

At the river, Arminius had finished washing off when he saw his son talking with his favorite aunt. "You taking care of your aunt?" He asked his boy.

"Yes, sir!" Wiglaf said as he gave Hilda a hug.

"It's good to see you're doing so well, my cute little buck," She teased before picking him up. The three of them walked back to the fort while Hilda leaned toward her chief with her re-grown antlers. "Thank you for saving me, my chief."

"You're welcome, Hilda. Besides, I needed someone to look after this little warrior," Arminius said while poking his son's side.

"Always happy to look after this one," Hilda said while nuzzling Wiglaf's cheek. "Is Sigrid alright?"

"Yes. She's with us and has been fighting the Stonehooves with Wulfric and Me." Arminius leaned into her ear and gave it a little nibble before whispering. "She's also expecting~."

"Hmph, I go away for one year and you have all the fun without me." Hilda smirked while Wiglaf cuddled with her.

"I bet Wulfrics old man is pestering him nonstop to find a girl now." She laughed but noticed Arminius wasn't smiling.

"What?"

"Hilda, there's something you should know..."

As the three walked back to the fort, Arminius filled her in on their situation, why they were there, and why they couldn't stop the Stonehooves sooner.

"So Chief Hjalmarr is really..."

"Afraid so and nobody was hit harder than Wulfric. He was the only family he had left."

Hilda then saw Wulfric loading the last of the plunder onto the longboat before Applejack clung to him from behind.

"Who's the mare?" She asked while watching them flirt.

"Applejack. The Element of Honesty. We freed her and the rest of the town of Ponyville as our first raid." Arminius then smirks at her. "And not but two minutes ago they made love in the middle of our battle."

"That so?" Hilda smirked as she gave Wiglaf back and walked over to the couple.

"Hey stranger."

"Uh H-Hilda!" Wulfric stammered as she got close.

"Care to introduce us hon?" Applejack said.

"I'm his...was his lover." Hilda smiled while Wulfric gave a nervous gulp.

"Oh really?" Applejack questioned before turning to Wulfric. "Something you want to tell me?"

"Uhh well this was a while back, way before I even met you." Wulfric said as he began to back away while AJ scowled at him.

"Go on..."

"We um dated for a while."

"How long's a while?"

"Oh about two years and I don't mean to sound lewd but WOO this man knows how to pound the pillow!" Hilda said as she fanned herself with a smug grin.

"Is that right?" Applejack said while still scowling at Wulfric. Her scowl soon turned into a smirk before slapping his ass. "Nice to know I got something to look forward to."

"Uhh...thanks?" Wulfric said as AJ leaned on him with a smile while his men continued to taunt him with kissy faces.

"Hon, I won't tell you on how to live your life but just promise you'll be honest with me?"

"O-of course."

"Good and since we're on the terms of being honest..." AJ suddenly began to squeeze her lovers arm to the point where it felt like it was about to break.

"There any other gals I should know of besides the three you have already?"

"I feel sorry for Uncle Wulfric," Wiglaf said.

Arminius bent down and shoved his son forward. "Then go save him," He told him with a wink.

Wiglaf went over to Applejack and gave her a gentle tug on the arm.

"Auntie Applejack?" He called to her with an innocent look.

"I'm hungry."

Hearing that, Applejack's heart melted and she took Wiglaf by the hand. "Let's see what we can rustle up," She told him before leading the boy back into the fort.

Hilda chuckled while lightly elbowing Arminius in the gut. "Cheap move, using your secret weapon."

"I did what I had to," Arminius said before looking down at the doe. "Come on, I'm sure Sigrid is dying to see you again."

"Don't think this talk is over mister!" Applejack shouted back as she left with Wiglaf.

End.
