Previous ChapterNext Chapter"So let me get this straight..." I said rubbing a hoof on my head. "Your name is fluttershy?"
"E-er yes..." she squeaked out in reply.
"What an original name."
"You say that you're a pegasus?"
"Y-yes..."
I heard them before in myths, vaguely. I also heard of unicorns in myths, I assume are the ones with a horn are the ones that are with wings are the pegasus'
"That means that the Twilight -looking girl horse is more like me right?"
"Ponies." she corrected me, with a little more confidence. I nodded still slightly confused. "We sometimes call stallions horses, although I disagree with that."
"Real." I said with a sigh, "So tell me about your nation, it seems to be more of a female-dominated society." I muttered,
Considering the way people act.
"Y-yes...." Fluttershy tilted her head curiously. "is your kingdom not the same?"
"From what I have heard so far from the conversation of your friends," I sighed, "more speficially your twilight friend what is her name?"
" T-twilight."
I stared at her flatly, causing her to shuffle on her feet nervously, "That is actually her name?"
"Y-yes..."
"Am I right to assume that the horse-"
"P-pony."
"Right Pony sorry..." I apologized, "So about what she said... the whole thing about Stallions not owning anything, what does that mean?"
"W-well, Stallions a-are proved to be incapable of defending themselves," Fluttershy replied gaining slight confidence as we talked. I noticed and nodded in approval at this. "I see, well in my nation...our *men...* are mostly considered equals in our nation, though there are still many who consider women much like what the...stallions here do..."
"Nation?" She asked her eyes widened as her eyes went from my wings to my horn, then she gasped, and fell to her knees, "O-oh I am so sorry your-highness I-"
I slowly lifted her back up on her feet.
"Stop that." I said sternly.
"Wh-what...but-"
"I am no ruler."
"B-but...you're an alicorn."
"I am no ruler." I repeated, "Do not bow to me like some sort of king god alright?"
She nodded reluctantly and meekly, "R-right...."
I took a deep breath and sighed...
"...alright next question..." I rubbed my temples with my hoof,."why are my wings so sensitive to your touch...why does it feel so...so much like..." I paused for a moment..
"Er...that's because it is a very intimate action." Fluttershy replied softly, understanding what I am trying to say. "Mostly used to mate, or when a mare needs to comfort a stallion under stress," She looked down, "I-if you never had this feeling then I-it must be because your mare never gave you that feeling."
"Er...right." I slowly took her hoof's off of my wing, "Sorry about that..."
"I-it's okay," she replied meekly,
I sighed tiredly slumping down,
"Next question,"
"Y-yes?"
"I have been expeirincing very bad accidental voodo powers with my horn, do you know what this is.."
"E-er...yes that's magic...." Fluttershy responds, looking out the window of my bar, "O-oh dear, I guess it's really getting late, I should head back to my home."
"Wait.." I muttered "I have so many questions,"
" My animals need me."
"Need you?" I asked tilting my head was curious.
But...
...
But they were... I looked at her and pictured the animals that came in my head.
Oh no, no nevermind.
Obviously, not what I thought they were. The hor- I mean ponies looked nothing like the horses on Earth, they looked adorable.
"Maybe you should come with me." Fluttershy mutters quietly, "It's not safe...to be in the Everfree forest all alone."
At this I frowned, "I'll be fine fluttershy," I slowly pushed the stool back up, as I slowly sat on it, pushing my chin on my desk staring at her, "Take care..."
She looked at me her gaze lingering on me a little longer before nodding and trotting out the door.
"Close the door on the way out." I called.
"Y-yes sir..."
"Call me James."
Once the door closed, I looked to my right. I looked at the alcohol, perched up on the stands. I was seriously considering it.
The next person to walk in this room was a mare with...
Was it yellow or golden?
It was hard to say...
She had greyish black hair with wait she has grey and black hair.
She seemed to be looking at me assesting me as well at least from what she can see from behind the counter.
"Hello." I said in greeting, "How may I help you Miss...."
She trotted up to me close before she looked at the drinks, that were collected in the glass.she looked back at me, "You don't know who I am?"
I looked at her hat, then at the whip by her sides. I raised my eyebrow.
"An Indiana Jones cosplay rip-off?"
An idna what?" She asked incredoulously not understanding what I just said.
"You trying to be him?"
"No! the buck!?" Daring do flinched back, "No I am daring do!"
I stared at her flatly, "You know what, I give up, how may I help you?"
"Strongest drink you have." She mumbled getting up on the stool,
"Strongest drink I have?" I asked, "I doubt you can.."
"Oh please..." Daring smirked, "There ain't nothing a Stallion has that can possibly be strong."
My eyes widened before I grinned wickedly,
"Oh really..."
Her eyes narrowed challengingly.
"Give me your best shot pretty colt."
"Pretty what?" I shook my head, " Er nevermind."
I looked up and spotted a SPirytus reached out, pulled the glass door to the side and handed it to her,
She undid the lid with a pop, judging by her actions, I suddenly knew what she was about to do.
"Wait I advise not to.-" I was cut off as she chugged the whole thing done."
"See stud? Nothing I can't handle." She boasted,
"Er..." I said looking at her concerned, "Oh no..."
3 hours later,
"-I was lucky enough to make it out of there alive,.." Daring boasted with a slur as I held her in my arms just to keep her steady, she was so drunk it was unbelievable, I don't think I am giving a mare this drink anymore.
"You seem pretty strong stud, you wanna give a mare a good time?"
"Your drunk Daring..."
"No ah'm not." Daring slurred leaning into me to rub my chest, dazely, "I met a lot of stallions on my travels none like you stud."
"Oh is that so, " she started to vomit,
Ew ew...gross...
I instantly reached for the nearest trashcan to watch her vomit nearly to death, the sound of her barfing was insane...
