Point out any mistakes you see :) Viridian Caves Six months. That’s how long Cole’s been living in this fucking forest. For six fucking months. Cole wished he could say that was the least of his problems, but he’d be lying if he did. Because on top of being stranded in this weird magic forest, he wasn’t even human anymore. He was a bizarre amalgamation of a horse and various creepy crawlies. His body was stocky, muscular, and coated in hard, pitch-black chitin, and a similarly dark carapace stretched across his back and stomach. Eight eyes adorned his face, each with slitted black pupils and glowing white sclera. Two of the eyes were positioned where you’d naturally expect them, with a smaller pair on the outer edges, granting him an enhanced peripheral view. The remaining four, also small, sat just above the first set, allowing him to take in his surroundings even while looking downward. A long, sharp-tipped horn protruded from his forehead, accompanied by a dark, spiked crown that was fused to the top of his head. His mouth was lined with razor-sharp teeth, and two prominent fangs jutted out even when his mouth was closed. Instead of a mane, he had a sleek neck fin that stretched down and ended at his carapace. Finally, four thin, wasp-like wings were attached to his back, and he had an intimidatingly large stinger attached to the end of his fuzzy abdomen. To say he was ugly would be the understatement of the century. He was downright hideous. And the worst part? He didn’t even remember how he got here. All he remembers is driving home from work one day, passing out while on the road, and waking up stranded in this forest. The first couple of weeks were terrifying, to say the least. On top of having no discernable way home and being stuck inside a monster's body, the forest was filled with all sorts of creatures that were out to kill him. It's a literal miracle that he's survived this long. Sitting up inside the small cave he called home, Cole stretched his body out before fully standing up. Blinking his eight eyes one by one, he shook the sleepiness out of his body before stepping outside his dark cave. Shielding his eyes from the morning sun, Cole took a moment to let his eyes adjust before taking in his surroundings. His cave was nestled into the side of a large ravine, surrounded by a barren, rocky landscape. A raging river cut through the ravine, separating his side from the opposite bank. The ground was scattered with large rocks, pebbles, and the occasional boulder, while the only vegetation consisted of sparse plants sprouting from small crevices in the earth. Cole's stomach rumbled hungrily and he released a tired sigh. Time to find something to eat. Skulking through the thick brush with practiced ease, Cole stalked a small, unassuming adolescent black bear as it curiously peeked out of its den. He had been watching it for ten minutes now, and in that time, there had been no sign of its mother. He wanted to wait a few more minutes, but his stomach grew more and more unruly with each passing second. If it kept up, the noises it was making would undoubtedly reveal him and ruin his element of stealth. Cole knew he couldn’t pass up such a great opportunity, so with a nervous gulp, he opened his mouth and began to mimic the growls of a bear. It was a neat trick Cole managed to discover. He found that he could mimic the sounds and calls of nearly any animal he could think of. He stumbled upon this ability while stalking a flock of birds one day. He had simply wanted to whistle at them in a pathetic attempt to lure them over to him for a quick snack. But, to his surprise, instead of whistling, he began to produce realistic-sounding bird calls from deep within his gullet. Astonishingly, the birds were drawn toward him, allowing him to snatch one while the rest scattered in alarm. Ever since then, he's been using it to his advantage when hunting. The cub’s ears perked up at the sounds Cole was making, its head turning toward the thick bush he was hiding behind. As Cole continued to call it over, the cub, even more curious now, began to crawl out of its den. Cole grinned as he watched it excitedly approach him. He waited patiently for it to get closer and closer. Only once it was close enough to brush the bush with its snout did Cole pounce. With a hiss, Cole jumped out of the bush, surprising the cub, before clenching his sharp teeth around the cub's neck. The cub cried and thrashed loudly as Cole brought it down, a sinking feeling beginning to build up in his chest. If he doesn't finish this now, then he's going to have to deal with a very angry momma bear. Thinking quickly, Cole reared his abdomen back before stinging the cub multiple times. The neurotoxin acted quickly, and before long, the cub was paralyzed. As soon as its thrashing stopped, Cole flipped it on its back and swiftly tore its throat out, killing it. Sparing a glance around the area, Cole saw nothing amiss. Without wasting another second, Cole clenched his teeth around one of its legs and began dragging it away. By the time Cole felt he had safely dragged the cub's carcass a safe distance away, it was already mid-afternoon. His stomach was ravenous at this point, gurgling constantly and filling his body with aching pains. Coming to a stop, Cole cast a cautious look around the small clearing he was in before beginning his feast. At first, Cole didn't find eating skin, uncooked meat, nor animal guts all that appealing. Thus, he suffered for the first couple of days trying and failing to catch fish as a substitute. Only after he had grown too starved and desperate did he get his first taste of fresh meat. Surprisingly, he found himself enjoying it. It disgusted him how much he enjoyed it, but he got used to it. Cole assumed it had something to do with his new physiology, he did seem more carnivorous in nature now. Eventually, Cole ate enough to fill his stomach, and then some more. But no matter how much he ate, there would always be this particular aching in his stomach that wouldn't go away. He doesn't know what to do about it, it's been a constant feeling ever since he gained this new body. It wasn't killing him… yet. But he's pretty sure that as long as it doesn't get worse then he'll be fine. Stepping away from the half-eaten corpse with a sigh, Cole headed into the direction of a river he knew of to get a drink and perhaps relax for a while. “Oh, sweet Queen! Help meee!” someone suddenly screamed, their plea cut short by the thunderous roar of a lion. Cole froze as he listened to the person’s cries for help before turning and bolting in the direction the screams were coming from. Rushing through the forest’s thick brush, Cole followed the sounds of the person’s panicked screams before bursting through a wall of dense foliage into a clearing, his eyes locking onto the person who had been calling for help. To his surprise, it was another bug-horse like him—only smaller, missing a stinger, and riddled with holes across their body. They shrieked in terror, darting and weaving desperately to evade the relentless attacks of a manticore. Cole watched in shock as the manticore swiped its large paw and successfully managed to hit the small bug-horse, sending it tumbling to the ground with a large gash on its side. Something within Cole snapped at the sight of the small bug-horse being hurt. He felt a wave of rage surge through his body, igniting an instinctive and overwhelming need to protect the small bug-horse. With a fierce hiss, Cole’s pupils shrunk to slits, and he charged at the manticore. Lowering his head, Cole used his sharp-tipped horn to pierce the manticore in the side of its body, his horn driving deep and making the manticore roar with agonizing pain. Yanking his horn free from the manticore's side, Cole leaped back just in time to avoid its massive scorpion stinger, which struck the ground where he stood. The manticore let out an enraged roar, its fierce gaze locking onto Cole before it staggered backward, blood seeping endlessly from its gaping wound. With a final snarl of defiance, the manticore limped away, its fatal injury forcing a retreat. But Cole wasn’t done with it. Oh, no, no. It had dared to attack another of his kind, and for that, it would pay with its life. With a shriek, Cole leaped high in the air, his wings buzzing as they propelled him higher. The manticore yelped in surprise as it felt Cole land on its back. The yelp was quickly followed by yowls of pain once it felt Cole sting it multiple times with his sharp stinger. Cole grinned as he saw his stinger's neurotoxin take hold, rapidly paralyzing the manticore. The once-ferocious beast let out a pitiful mewl as it collapsed onto its side, muscles slack and unmoving, and its eyes staring blankly ahead. Without hesitation, Cole lunged forward, snarling as his teeth sank into the manticore’s throat. A strained wheeze escaped the creature before Cole tore its throat out in one swift motion, ending its life instantly. Cole stood over the lifeless manticore, his chest heaving with every heavy breath. Using his long, forked tongue, Cole slowly cleaned the manticore’s blood from his maw, the salty and tangy flavor bringing a pleased smirk to his face. With the threat gone, the primal instincts that had taken over faded and allowed his conscious side to take back the reins of his mind. His pupils dilated back to their normal size, and Cole shook his head as he processed what just happened. ‘Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever gone that feral before,’ Cole thought as he gently massaged his blood-covered and aching horn. Turning away from the dead manticore, Cole shifted his eyes to the now quivering bug-horse that was fearfully backed up against a tree. Once his eyes landed on it, it flinched back and covered its face with its hole-ridden hooves. “Please don’t hurt me!” it- she shouted fearfully. Cole’s eight eyes softened at the youthfulness of her voice, and he slowly approached her. For some strange reason that Cole couldn’t figure out, he felt the strongest urge to protect the young bug-horse and keep her safe from any type of harm. Coming to a stop in front of the bug-horse, Cole decided he would follow his instincts until he could bring this bug-horse back to her family. Leaning his head down, he spoke in the softest tone he could muster, “Are you alright?” The little bug-horse flinched before hesitantly peeking through one of the holes in her hooves, “Wh-What?” Cole offered a soft smile before bending his forelegs and lowering himself onto his stomach. “I was asking if you were alright,” he said gently, “I saw the manticore managed to hit you. Can I take a look at it?” The bug-horse lowered her hooves, her gaze fixed on Cole with a hint of confusion. Slowly, she exposed the side where she had been injured. Cole examined the small gash on her green carapace, letting out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw it wasn’t cut too deep. Though it was still bleeding slightly, the wound wasn’t as severe as he’d feared. Suddenly, another bout of instincts welled up within him, and Cole allowed it to guide him. A strange pressure built deep in his throat, and with some effort, Cole forced it up through his esophagus before spitting the substance out, carefully letting it land over the bug-horse's injury. Using a hoof, Cole began to gently smear the white, tar-like substance over her injury, making sure it was completely covered. Once he was done, the substance began to harden into a protective barrier that sealed the wound and protected it from any outside bacteria while it healed on its own. “There, that should do the trick,” Cole said, “Now, what’s your name, sweetheart?” The bug-horse’s cheeks grew a green color and she looked away bashfully, “B-Basal.” Cole smiled, “It’s nice to meet you, Basal. My name’s Cole.” Basal giggled, “Why are you named after a rock?” Cole chuckled softly. “No, my name isn’t spelled like the rock, ‘coal.’ It’s spelled C-o-l-e.” Basal frowned, furrowing her eyes in confusion at the foreign letters, “Huh?” “Nothing,” Cole said with a shake of his head. “Right now, I need to take you back to your parents, I’m sure they’re worried about you, wherever they are.” Basal nodded slowly, her confusion still evident on her face. While her Queen was technically her mother, she didn’t particularly like being called that. Speaking of royalty, Basal only now noticed the spiked crown perched atop Cole’s head. Her eyes widened at the sight. She had always believed that only Queen changelings existed. Her Queen had never mentioned the possibility of a King changeling before, and Basal knew that none of the other Hive Queens had one either—if they did, her Queen would most certainly be scheming to steal them away. Or maybe just kill them. Getting up to her hooves, Basal voiced her thoughts, “Um, are you a part of any Hive, Your Highness?” Cole furrowed his brows at the strange question, “No, I can’t say that I am. And just call me Cole, the crown’s just decoration. I can’t take it off, even if I wanted to.” Basal’s eyes widened in excitement. Cole isn’t a part of a Hive, and if that’s true then Basal could bring him back to her Queen and she would reward her handsomely! And, considering the lack of holes present on Cole, he was absolutely thriving with love he could share with the Hive! Yes! It was perfect! Concealing her excitement, Basal gave Cole a pleading look. “I’m sorry, Mr. Coal, but... do you think you could walk me home? I’d feel safer if you did.” Cole nodded with a gentle smile, “Yeah, just lead the way.” ‘Jesus, how fucking far is this place!?’ Cole thought, his frustration mounting as he trudged behind Basal. His hooves and legs ached from the seemingly endless distance they had traveled. Day had turned to night, and they had walked so far that the forest was now a distant memory. Instead, they found themselves traversing a desolate wasteland, its barren expanse stretching endlessly before them. Cole sighed as he ruminated on his impulsive decision to follow Basal, instincts be damned. “Look, there it is!” Basal said, pointing a hoof in front of her. Following her hoof, Cole’s eyes locked onto a massive structure in the distance. His jaw dropped as he took in its imposing details. The structure vaguely resembled a castle, its countless spires clawed at the sky and its rocky, gnarled shape exuded an air of intimidation. Numerous gaping holes dotted its surface. From the holes, Cole could see an eerie green glow emanating out, painting the entrances with an eerie aura. “That's where you live?” Cole asked incredulously as he glanced down at Basal. “Yup,” Basal said with a nod. “Come on, I'm sure my Queen would be happy to see you and let you join the Hive!” “Woah, hold on a second! Just because I'm not a part of a ‘Hive’ doesn't mean I want to join one! Plus, I don't think I'd be all that useful,” Cole said, his nervousness mounting. “That’s okay! I'm sure my Queen or someling else will help you out.” Cole briefly glanced at the empty wasteland behind him and thought about the odds of getting hopelessly lost trying to find his way back to his cave. He decided that his odds were pretty shitty, and so, with a gulp, he turned back to Basal and reluctantly followed her toward the Hive. As they approached the entrance, Cole's eyes wandered to the bug-horses stationed at the many entry points. They were noticeably larger than Basal, likely a sign of their older age. Clad in tough-looking blue armor and helmets, they exuded an intimidating presence as they stood as still as statues. And despite their pupil-less eyes, Cole could feel the weight of their suspicious stares following his every step as he passed them and entered the Hive. The moment Cole entered, every single bug-horse inside had stopped whatever they were doing and stared at him. Their glowing blue eyes dug under his chitin and made him shiver with the numerous glowing green orbs clinging to the Hive walls only adding to the unnerving atmosphere. Sweat began to bead down Cole's forehead, trickling down his face as his eight eyes darted nervously across the sprawling Hive. He scanned every corner, every shadow, on high alert for any sign of being snuck up on or ambushed. Why were they all just staring!? Surely, Cole wasn’t that interesting. Cole’s unease only deepened when he noticed that the pair of guards at the entrance had started tailing him and Basal. Their narrowed eyes, filled with barely concealed distrust, felt like they were boring holes into the back of his head with every step. Eventually, after descending through multiple chambers in the Hive, Cole and Basal came to a stop in front of two massive doors that were guarded by another pair of guards. Said guards had scowls on their faces as they stared at Cole. Basal stepped forward, a bright smile on her face, “We’re here to see the Queen!” The two guards remained silent, their angry expressions intimidating you a bit. Then, without a word, their horns ignited with a bright green glow, and the massive doors responded in kind, enveloped by the same shimmering green aura. The doors slowly opened and Cole was forced inside the room by the guards behind him. “Hey, what’s the big deal? I can walk by myself!” Cole snapped at the guards. “Be quiet,” one of the guards coldly said before roughly hitting Cole over the head. Cole glared at the guard, his scowl deepening as he rubbed the sore spot where he'd been struck. His eight eyes darted warily to the four guards now flanking him, their stances firm and leaving no room for escape without a fight. Shifting his gaze away from them, Cole’s attention fell on the imposing, gnarled and holed throne dominating the center of the room. More specifically, the creature that sat on it. ‘She must be the Queen,’ Cole thought as he watched the tall, lithe, and regal bug-horse levitate a stone slab in front of her, her horn pulsing with a bright green glow as she lazily lay across the entire throne. Cole spared a brief glance at his own horn, wondering if he would be able to do that as well. The Queen’s gaze shifted to Cole, and the moment their eyes met, his body locked up and froze in place. Her two glowing green eyes, with cat-like slitted pupils, bore into him, dissecting him piece by piece with an unsettling intensity. Cole felt a part of himself rage as the Queen continued to unblinkingly stare him down, challenging his dominance. The instinctive urge to attack caught Cole off guard, forcing him to dig his hooves into the rocky ground to keep himself from baring his sharp teeth and hissing at her. No matter how much he wanted to, he found himself unable to look away. His instincts locked him in place, unwilling to back down from the Queen’s unyielding gaze. Thankfully, she looked away first, and with a hum, the Queen floated the stone slab in her telekinetic grip over to a bug-horse who had been dutifully sitting next to the throne. “Deliver this to my chambers,” she said calmly. The bug-horse gave a sharp nod, “Of course, my Queen.” Bowing deeply, they wrapped the slab in their own glowing green aura, lifting it effortlessly into their grasp. As the bug-horse departed with the slab in tow, the Queen's piercing green eyes slid toward the guards flanking Cole. “Leave us,” she ordered firmly. All four guards' eyes widened at the command, their expressions laced with worry for their Queen. “My Queen, are you sure?” one of the guards asked hesitantly, glancing at Cole. “...I’m going to pretend like you didn’t ask me that.” The guard who had spoken up chittered fearfully before bowing deeply, the other three guards being quick to follow. “A-Apologies, my Queen. We shall leave at once,” the guard said, his voice ridden with terror. Rising from their deep bows, the four guards were quick to leave the throne room, their wings buzzing anxiously. The Queen's gaze shifted, her piercing eyes sliding past Cole to rest on Basal. “You too, Basal. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded for bringing such a fine specimen to me,” she purred with a smirk on her face. Basal gasped and bowed even deeper than the guards had, her forehead touching the floor, “Thank you, my Queen! I’ll make sure your reward won’t go to waste!” “Good girl~ Now, run along,” the Queen said sweetly with a lazy shooing gesture. Rising from her bow, Basal turned on her heels and exited the throne room, not even giving Cole so much as a second glance as the large double doors shut behind her in a green hue. Turning back to the Queen, Cole audibly gulped as he realized the dangerous situation he found himself in. ‘I’m so fucking dead,’ he hopelessly thought. Chrysalis’ mind buzzed with a whirlwind of questions as she descended from her anti-magic throne to the male changeling’s level. Basal had given her a brief rundown of this “Coal” once she was close enough to communicate through the Hivemind. At first, Chrysalis didn’t believe her, but out of sheer boredom, Chrysalis decided to humor Basal. After all, even if Basal had stupidly led a rival Hive member into her domain, Chrysalis would relish the chance to personally deal with the intruder. Touching the ground gracefully, Chrysalis began circling the increasingly uneasy changeling like a predator sizing up its prey. Her sharp, calculating gaze meticulously analyzed every inch of him, noting every anomaly and peculiar detail. The first, and perhaps most striking, was the complete absence of the characteristic holes that marred the bodies of her and her changelings. This discovery made her eyes widen, and her tongue flicked across her lips as drool pooled in her mouth. Such perfection could only mean one thing: the love he hoarded within must be monumental—an irresistible prize for any changeling, let alone a Queen such as herself. Her attention was then drawn to the fuzzy stinger attached to his rear, twitching faintly as if in anticipation of use. Basal had informed her of its lethality, mentioning how it had paralyzed a full-grown manticore in mere seconds. Chrysalis narrowed her eyes at the appendage, mentally noting the need to avoid it if this changeling decided to become less than cooperative. As she continued her slow, deliberate circling, she caught the faintest flicker of something in his posture—an instinctual unease, perhaps, or suppressed aggression. Her grin widened, fangs glinting in the eerie green glow of the chamber. She had seen the same reaction when she first made eye contact with him. ‘This one is going to be very interesting to break,’ she thought. “So, uh, are you going to say anything or are you just going to keep sizing me up?” Cole asked anxiously. Chrysalis paused mid-step, her piercing green eyes locking onto his. A sly smirk spread across her face. “Oh, forgive me. I was simply admiring your rather… fetching features,” she said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. “Uh-huh…” Cole muttered, taking a small step back. Stepping in front of him, Chrysalis smirked as she began to subtly release pheromones from her body. While she could easily overwhelm him with her scent, Chrysalis instead chose to draw things out to see what kind of information she could get out of him. “So, Coal, tell me. Do you really not belong to a Hive, or at least have one of your own?” Cole’s eyes widened and he took another step back, “How do you know my-” Cole’s nose flared as they caught a new, sweet smell in the air, the suddenness of it catching him off guard. “What’s that smell?” he asked while giving the air some more experimental sniffs. Chrysalis fought the urge to grin widely and continued, “Trying to deflect my question?” she pressured. “Wh-What? N-No, I… I don’t have a Hive,” Cole said, his breaths heavy and his face growing hot. “And how old are you, Coal? I’ve lived for thousands of years, but not once have I ever encountered a… special changeling such as yourself.” “I’m… fuck… I’m twenty… twenty-one…” he said, his hooves beginning to tremble. Chrysalis's eyes widened at the revelation. Twenty-one? Only twenty-one years of age? It seemed utterly unbelievable—yet, at the same time, it made perfect sense. He lacked any sort of colorful characteristics that distinguished him from any Hive, simply being entirely black. It would be difficult for him to find a Hive, let alone start one. So had he been living by himself for his entire life? While she couldn’t discern why a changeling like him had been abandoned as an egg or possibly exiled from his Hive of origin, one thing was certain: the opportunity standing before her was nothing short of divine. At such a young age, he hasn’t even reached his prime yet. Chrysalis could mold and cultivate him to be quite the formidable foe. And that’s not to mention just how fertile he must be. Why, with just him alone, Chrysalis is sure that she could sire thousands of changelings—Possibly even tens of thousands. Suddenly, the chamber was filled with low moans and strained whines. Pulled from her thoughts, Chrysalis glanced back at Cole and saw him struggling to remain standing, his arousal making itself very known. Chrysalis gasped, raising a hoof to her mouth as her expression shifted into one of exaggerated shock. “Oh, my~! I hope I didn't do that,” she said, staring shamelessly at his well-endowed member. “Wh… What's happening… to me..?” Cole moaned before collapsing onto his side, his cock twitching and throbbing needily as it leaked globs of precum. While Chrysalis was a bit surprised by how quickly her pheromones had affected him, it was to be expected. She could quite possibly be the first Queen he had ever interacted with, and she was going to take full advantage of that. “You have nothing to worry about, Coaly~” Chrysalis cooed. “It’s just your body’s natural reaction to my pheromones. Though I must say, I am a bit surprised by how fast you succumbed to me. Am I your first?” she innocently asked. Cole shivered under her hungry gaze. "Yes..." he mumbled, his mind growing foggy. Chrysalis grinned at his response before leaning in close to his ear, “Tell me, what is it you want to do with me?” she whispered, her breath hot and heavy. “Would you like me to suck you dry and turn you into a whimpering mess as you empty your balls down my throat? Or maybe you’d like to coat my face and body with your seed and mark me as yours? Mmm, maybe you’re a stallion who’d like to mount me and shove me into the floor as your ram your throbbing hard cock deep inside me.” Cole’s cock throbbed violently at the last statement and Chrysalis giggled, “Looks like I figured out which one you are~” she said before gently nibbling on his ear. Stepping away, Chrysalis circled him until she was standing in his direct line of sight. Slowly, Chrysalis began to arch her back and flag her tail upwards, exposing her most intimate area. Already she could feel her loins burn hotly in anticipation as she winked furiously, her juices gushing and making her incredibly wet. It was a sight that would make even the strongest stallions crumble. Turning her head back to Cole, she grinned at his shocked expression, “Come on, now. Don't be shy~” she said with a shake of her rear. Chrysalis had never seen a stallion scramble to his hooves so quickly. “Mmm, yes. Come to momma,” she hummed as she watched Cole approach. Hypnotized by the lewd display, Cole hastily approached Chrysalis like a horny teenager after his first kiss. High off of her pheromones and filled with all sorts of lustful thoughts, Cole didn’t hesitate to mount Chrysalis, practically jumping on her in his extremely horny mindset. Once on top of her, Cole began to hump her fervently before shoving his face into her neck and inhaling a large amount of her pheromones. He shivered as her scent filled his lungs, his already clouded mind growing even foggier under its effects. “Someling is eager,” Chrysalis chuckled. “But I’m afraid your cock has to go inside.” Using her magic, Chrysalis wrapped Cole’s cock in a viridian aura and redirected it to her snuggly warm loins. Thrusting herself backward, Chrysalis impaled herself on Cole. Cole whipped his head back and let out a loud moan, the wave of pleasure assaulting his body feeling nothing short of divine. Chrysalis groaned as she took him into her burning cavern, his cock forcefully stretching her out and sending a jolt of pleasure through her body with each throb of it inside her. By the gods, she had never felt so full before. She’d slept with larger stallions before, but even they couldn’t compare to the absolute euphoria that swept through her body at this very moment. It was as if Cole’s cock was made for her. Chrysalis then felt Cole pull back from her scorching depths before ramming his cock back into her. She moaned whorishly, her insides clinging onto him greedily as he continued to pull back and pound into her, the sounds of wet squelching and meaty slaps filling the air as Cole continued his rough fucking. Chrysalis reciprocated his efforts and timed his thrusts with her own, leaving them moving in unison. Cole increased his pace with a growl, the pleasure he was feeling quickly beginning to mount to its peak. “Yesss. Breed me you virile beast,” Chrysalis purred, her insides massaging and stroking his length with wanton greed, desperate to milk him for all he had. Like a switch being flipped, something suddenly shifted inside Cole, “Breed…” he whispered hotly, his pace slowing to a stop as he processed the word. “Why are you stopping? I didn't tell you to,” Chrysalis voiced her displeasure, continuing to thrust back into him. “Breed…” Cole whispered again, his instincts flaring at the utterance of the word. Chrysalis groaned in frustration, “I swear if you don't- Ah!” Chrysalis was cut off as Cole used a burst of magic to shove her front into the floor, her back being forced to arch from the awkward position, leaving her ass sticking up in the air. Releasing her from his magical grasp, Cole placed his two heavy forehooves on her back, preventing her from rising back up. Chrysalis mewled, not expecting such dominance from the previously timid changeling. Cole slowly brought his length back until only the tip remained inside. Then, without warning, he began furiously fucking her insides, the word “breed” chanting endlessly in his mind. If she wanted him to breed her, then by God, he was going to make sure her pregnancy was guaranteed. Chrysalis’ moans rose an octave at the merciless ravaging of her most delicate area. “Yes! Yes! Breed me! Make me your Queen!” she howled into the air. Cole grunted, his wings buzzing and his stinger twitching as he reached his peak. With a growl, he hilted himself deep inside her, his cockhead ramming against her cervix. Cole whipped his head back and moaned loudly, his eight eyes rolling to the back of his head as he experienced the most heavenly climax of his life. Chrysalis mewled and moaned under him as she climaxed in synchronization with him. Her body spasmed uncontrollably as she felt him fill her womb with thick jets of his seed. The intensity of it was unlike anything she'd ever felt before, and it left her as a mindless, blubbering mess who writhed under Cole's weight. Eventually, Cole's thick jets were reduced to weak spurts of his seed, and he collapsed on top of Chrysalis, his chest heaving and his body heavy with exhaustion. “Good Colt~ You'll make a perfect stud for me.” Was the last thing Cole heard before passing out on top of Chrysalis.

Cole gritted his teeth as he felt her walls coil tightly around him like an anaconda squeezing the air out of its prey. He let out a growl in response, his forehooves pushing her front deeper into the bed as he proceeded to jackhammer his cock into her, trading power for speed. “So… fucking tight…” Cole grunted with a pleasured moan. He felt like he was on cloud nine. He didn’t think It’d be this easy to turn Chrysalis into a cock-drunk whore. She'd always boasted about how easy it was to make him submit with the use of her pheromones, but the moment Cole figured out how to use his own, the tables were quickly turned and he was the one in control now. Slapping Chrysalis roughly across her rear, Cole relished in the heavenly sound that it forced from her throat. “Yeah, you like that, don’t you? I bet nobody else has been brave enough to slap your ass before.” Chrysalis responded with a long, drawn-out moan, unable to form a coherent response under his relentless assault. Cole smirked smugly before slowing down to an agonizingly slow pace, making Chrysalis whine and attempt to thrust back into him. Narrowing his eyes at her action, Cole ignited his horn, enveloping Chrysalis’ body in a green aura. With a simple spell, he paralyzed her, ensuring she couldn’t move anything except her head. Once satisfied with his work, Cole resumed his slow, deliberate fucking. “Your King asked you a question,” Cole growled into Chrysalis’ ear, emphasizing his words with another slap across her rear. Chrysalis yelped at the slight pain that flared from the hit, “Yes! I- I love it!” she squealed. Cole hummed as he continued to thrust into her slowly. Her scorching insides massaged his length, keeping it coated in a slick layer of her juices as she winked madly around him. Cole grinned before removing his hooves from her back, wrapping them around her sides, and holding her close. Then, he slowly leaned into the right side of her face. Chrysalis shuddered as she felt Cole’s entire body press against her back, his potent, musky pheromones overwhelming her senses with each breath she took. She gasped sharply as a long, forked tongue slid up the side of her neck. Its slick surface trailed across her sensitive chitin and swirled over her cheek, leaving a glistening layer of saliva in its wake. Cole sighed in delight as he retracted his tongue. “You love being my little cum dump, don't you?” he purred into her ear. Chrysalis’ breath hitched, and her cheeks grew a greener shade. “No…” she weakly protested. Cole rammed his cock into her, forcing a pleasured yelp from her throat. “Yes, you do. You love it when I pump and dump my cum inside you, right? You love the way I leave you leaking and wanting more, right? You say ‘no,’ but you always come back to me a couple of hours later for some more, right?” Cole whispered, emphasizing each point with a hard thrust of his hips. Chrysalis mewled in reply. It was true! It was all true! Ever since she got him to fuck her in the throne room that first night, she couldn't get enough of him. She began feeling a constant need for his cock. First, it was every morning, then every afternoon, then every evening. And even then, she still wanted more. Cole gently nibbled her ear, making her shudder and moan. “You love being my little cum dump,” Cole stated factually, his voice heavy and hot. Chrysalis shook her head. “No…” she softly denied, though her thoughts and body betrayed her. Cole increased his pace slightly, intent on getting what he wanted to hear out of her. “Yes, you do. Say it.” Chrysalis stayed quiet, her only reply being a small whine. Cole frowned, a displeased look forming on his face. Slowly, Cole pulled his cock out from her snug depths, the tip coming free with a succulent pop. “Hmm, okay then. I guess you don't want me to rut you right now,” he said with an infectious grin, knowing fully well what was about to happen. Chrysalis’ eyes widened in a panic as a vast sense of emptiness engulfed her entire being, starting from her depths and quickly spreading to the rest of her body. It eclipsed even the hunger for love that's cursed her for so long. Her insides clenched around empty air, desperate to feel the god-like cock that was pleasuring her only a moment ago. Her pussy lips winked with wanton abandon, and a line of sweet nectar dripped freely from her now-empty snatch, forming a wet puddle below her. Forgetting that she was frozen in place, she tried to thrust back into his cock, only to not move an inch. Chrysalis whimpered in despair as the void within her deepened, her instincts crying out for her to submit to her King if only to feel his throbbing length once more. Desperate for his cock, Chrysalis gave in. “YES!" she screamed. “I love being your little cum dump! I love it when you breed me and fill me full of eggs to lay! I love your cock! I love-” “Good girl~” Chrysalis moaned whorishly as Cole roughly shoved his length back inside of her and began fucking her with renewed vigor. Her insides burned and spasmed as jolts of electrical pleasure shot through her spine with each thrust of his hips sending her deeper into depravity, her mind going blank and her tongue lolling out of her mouth in a slutty display. “Oh, gods! Buck me! Buck me! Fill my womb with your seed!” Cole groaned at the familiar pressure building up in his tip, and he buried his head into her seaweed-like mane. God, even in her state of mind she still knew how to push him over the edge. With a final grunt, Cole hilted himself inside of her, his cock pulsing as he reached his orgasm. Chrysalis howled and moaned as she felt Cole bottom out inside of her. His thick, fertile seed burst out of his cockhead and painted her womb white. Her body trembled as she reached orgasm soon after, her muscles tensing and squeezing around Cole, milking him for every last drop of his seed. Eventually, both royals’ euphoria died down and their muscles relaxed. Cole's cock went flaccid and slowly slipped out of Chrysalis’ snatch with a wet squelch, a mix of his cum and her juices leaking and spilling on the floor as a result. Cole caught his breath before getting up from Chrysalis’ back and dismounting her, his eyes resting on her dripping loins for a moment, admiring his work. Igniting his horn once more, he undid the spell that had Chrysalis locked in place. Unexpectedly, Chrysalis’ body flopped back, her front slipping off of the bed as she limply fell to the floor unconscious. Cole quickly caught her in his magic before setting her down. “Chrissy? You okay?” he asked as he gently pawed at her cheek with a hoof. Chrysalis didn't respond, but he saw her chest rising and falling, indicating that she was still breathing. Frankly, Cole was surprised. He managed to fuck her into unconsciousness, something that he was more prone to experiencing due to how intense she can be sometimes. Cole chuckled. “Now you'll be the one waking up confused and hurting all over,” he said, wrapping her body in his magical grip and gently placing her on the bed. Pulling the covers snugly over her, Cole smiled to himself before turning toward the chamber door. “Time to clean myself up.” Cole sighed contentedly as he submerged himself in the cool waters of the bathing chamber. The waters worked wonders, cleansing his chitin of all traces of his morning romp with Chrysalis. “Would you like any assistance, my King?” a voice behind him asked. Turning his head slightly to look behind him, Cole spotted his guide/assistant standing at the edge of the hot spring, holding a bar of soap and a worn wooden brush in his magic. There was nothing particularly distinguishing about him—he looked much like every other changeling in the Hive: same height, same number of holes. The only way Cole could confidently identify him was through the Hivemind which sucked a bit. Cole smiled warmly at him, “No, thank you, Elytra. But, I appreciate the offer.” Elytra smiled as well, pleased by the warm emotions his King was directing toward him. “Of course, my King. I’ll always be there to help!” Elytra chirped, setting down the brush and soap with a cheerful demeanor. Cole nodded in acknowledgment before turning back to the hot spring and wading toward the deeper end. He stopped only once the water rose to his neck, leaving his head and neck the only parts of him not submerged in the crystal-clear pool. Retracting his stinger and settling back on his haunches, Cole closed his eyes and took a deep, calming breath before exhaling it in a slow, steady stream. It had been an eventful month for Cole since the night he first arrived at the Hive and unexpectedly mated with Chrysalis. Being crowned King of Chrysalis’ Hive the very next day, Cole suddenly found himself joining the Hivemind and having a lecherous amount of responsibilities dumped on top of him. Additionally, all the changelings in the Hive had a fanatical love for him now with him being King and all. The complete 180 from hostile to joyful at the sight of him was a bit of a strange change, but Cole got used to it. Cole’s physical appearance had undergone noticeable changes as well. His once glowing white eyes now radiated a toxic green hue, while his carapace had shifted to a striking blue-green shade, matching the altered color of his transparent four wings. Even his blood and the slime he spat out had transformed from a nearly transparent white to a dark green. Cole was certain that if his magic aura had been a different color before, it would now have adopted the same vivid green theme. Oh, and there was sex. Lots of sex. Almost every morning, Cole would wake up to Chrysalis fellating him under the covers before flooding his lungs full of her pheromones and fucking him senseless. He would later emerge from their now-shared chambers, dazed and confused, before Elytra and an escort of two guards swiftly guided him away to begin his daily tasks. It was... an interesting routine, but, like all things, Cole got used to it. He even came to look forward to it. During his first two weeks at the Hive, Cole’s schedule was packed with rigorous training: mastering the use of magic, detecting emotions in sentient beings, learning to use his wings properly, and building up his physical fitness, among other things. Those days left Cole unimaginably exhausted, dragging his hooves along the cave floor as he retreated to Chrysalis' chambers. But, even then, his day wouldn’t be over as Chrysalis would immediately jump him and force one last creampie out of him before allowing him to finally rest. Thankfully, after the first two weeks, things calmed down, allowing him a bit more time to rest. Instead of non-stop training, Cole was now assigned a schedule by Chrysalis herself, alternating days of training with rest and other tasks around the Hive such as learning how to create a chamber from a simple burrow in the wall. It was also during this time that Cole learned he was the legitimate father of two clutches of eggs, totaling about 38. Cole was shocked, flabbergasted, and utterly flummoxed by the unanticipated news. Him? A dad? It was inconceivable! At least, it was—until Chrysalis showed him the eggs in the nursery. He wanted to deny it, but the moment he laid his eyes on them, every fiber of his being told him they were his. He ended up staying in the nursery for about an hour, just watching and cooing at the eggs much to all the nurse's amusement. Apparently, his sperm might be supercharged, as the process of fertilizing and laying eggs—which would typically take Chrysalis three to four weeks—had been reduced to just one week. She hypothesized that the time it took for the eggs to hatch would also be significantly shortened, estimating it would take about three months instead of the usual five or sometimes six. Naturally, this also meant that she started demanding more sex from him, something he was starting to genuinely enjoy. Cole’s thoughts then drifted to his old human memories, and a wave of sadness washed over him. He was never going back home, was he? He would never get to see his family or friends again. He would never get to pursue any type of career. He would never get to live his life the way he wanted to. And it hurt so much. “Are you alright, my King? I sense that you are upset about something,” Elytra inquired with a worried look. Cole quickly wiped away the tears streaming down his cheeks, “Yeah, I- I'm fine. It's nothing you need to worry about.” Elytra opened his mouth to ask a question but quickly stopped himself. Though Cole appeared far more tolerant of his subjects than their Queen, that didn’t mean Elytra should overstep his boundaries. Cole was still his King, after all. “Of course, I apologize for intruding,” Elytra swiftly replied. Shaking his head with a sigh, Cole directed his gaze to Elytra. “What’s on today’s schedule?” he asked. "To begin, today is your weekly love donation to the Hive," Elytra explained. "After that, the Queen has scheduled a long study session for you, which includes reminders and some last-minute pointers regarding your first field assignment. You'll leave the Hive to gather love at the nearest pony settlement after the session later this evening." Cole felt a wave of dread wash over him at the announcement. This was the day he had been dreading. Leaving the safety of the Hive to hunt for food was one thing—but the fact that the "food" in question was a sapient creature made his stomach churn in disgust. Looking down at his right hoof, Cole noticed a small, insignificant hole forming in his fetlock. He had noticed it a couple of days ago, and it was his first sign that he, too, would likely be joining the Hive in appearance sooner rather than later. Believe it or not, love—the emotion itself—had become an essential part of his dietary requirements. It’s the reason why all the changelings here have so many holes in their bodies. They were starving. But the method of acquiring it left an awful taste in Cole’s mouth. To gather love, he would essentially have to kidnap someone and bring them back to the Hive where their love would be "harvested." Cole shuddered at the memory of the harvesting chamber. The sight of so many ponies, young and old alike, trapped in green cocoons and floating in place. Some were sleeping, their minds dulled by the effects of the cocoons, while others simply stared blankly, unreactive to anything he did in front of them. The emptiness in their eyes haunted him—nothing but hollow shells slowly being drained of every last bit of love they had in them before being discarded like worn-out toys. Ever since then, Cole had wondered: if he had stayed human and helped Basal that day, would he have been shoved into a cocoon as well? Sensing the sudden swirl of dread and fear emanating from his King, Elytra perked up, eager to reassure him. “Don’t worry, Your Highness! I’m sure you’ll do great!” he said cheerfully. “Joy…” Cole replied unenthusiastically. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its final rays of amber light, twinkling stars began to emerge in the darkening sky. Cole stepped out of one of the Hive’s entrances, flanked by Elytra and Chrysalis. The Queen, with her magic, levitated a beige saddlebag beside her. “Do I really have to do this?” Cole questioned, as Chrysalis secured the saddlebag to his body. “Oh, stop being such a grub,” Chrysalis hissed sharply. “How else do you expect to steal love from a pony if you can’t even act like one? You’ll blow your cover immediately.” “Not that,” Cole said. “It’s just, I don’t feel comfortable doing this. I mean, they’re thinking and breathing like us, right? Why are we targeting a bunch of innocent creatures?” Chrysalis took a deep breath and Cole winced at the rising anger emitting from her. But instead of yelling at him like he expected, Chrysalis spoke in a calm, but stern manner. “Cole, I know you have some… feelings about this task I’m assigning you. But you need to understand the sheer foolishness of your moral leanings. We are already starving as it is, and this Hive—our Hive—is home to hundreds of changelings struggling to survive. “If we were to simply stop hunting other creatures for love and rely solely on organic consumption, we would all perish. Not immediately, no, but it would be a slow, agonizing death. I don’t know how you managed to survive your entire life on your own without consuming even a drop of love, but it’s not sustainable here. “Is witnessing our two newly laid clutches of eggs dying before they even have the chance to reach maturity truly something you want to see?” Cole’s ears splayed against his head and he looked down with a guilty frown. Despite the contradictory behavior of struggling to survive yet wanting to birth more changelings, Chrysalis was right in a twisted way. Not only would they all die, but hunting for enough animals to feed hundreds in their current state was unfeasible no matter what methods they used. They’d all die, and it would all be Cole’s fault because he couldn’t adapt to his new life. “Fine, I’ll... I'll do it,” he reluctantly said. Cole felt a sense of relief emanate from Chrysalis before he felt a hoof gently lift his chin. Looking up in confusion, Cole froze as he felt Chrysalis press her lips against his and kiss him deeply. He remained as stiff as a board, his eyes wide as he stared into her emerald gaze. Chrysalis pulled away and Cole suddenly felt reinvigorated, like he could run a mile without stopping. “A little snack for the road,” Chrysalis said with a sultry smile and half-lidded eyes. Cole gaped like a fish, his eight eyes still wide and his cheeks blushing furiously. “Wha- I, uh- Buh?” he sputtered. Chrysalis giggled as she walked past him and stood by the Hive’s entrance, “Good luck!” Not knowing what else to do, Cole waved awkwardly before following Elytra to the settlement he was supposed to infiltrate. That wouldn’t be leaving his mind for a while. “Don’t keep me waiting~” Chrysalis sang to him through the Hivemind before projecting a rather salacious image of her pleasuring herself to Cole. Cole’s blush turned even greener. Now there were two things that wouldn’t be leaving his mind for a while. By the time Cole and Elytra reached the outskirts of the pony settlement, the sun had already risen to its morning position. The march across the Badlands, as it was called, had been unsurprisingly uneventful, leaving Cole with an increasing sense of boredom. But now, however, that boredom had transformed into curiosity as he watched ponies walking around the western-style town from a distant dune. “Well, there it is. The ponies call this town Appleloosa,” Elytra said before turning toward Cole. “Are you ready, Your Highness?” Cole nodded, retreating behind the dune. “Yeah, just give me a second.” Cole took a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing on his horn. He could feel the appendage burn with energy as he concentrated on shifting his appearance. With a burst of green flames, Cole’s form transformed into a stocky, brown-coated unicorn stallion with hazel eyes, and a black mane and tail. “How do I look?” he asked. Looking him over, Elytra spotted a clear anomaly. “You forgot the Cutie Mark, Your Highness,” he said, pointing at Cole’s rear. “Oh, right.” Glancing at his rear, Cole ignited his horn again. With another burst of smaller green flames, a Cutie Mark appeared on both sides of his flank, depicting a vintage monocular and a rolled-up map. “Perfect,” Elytra said with a smile. “Now roll around in the sand.” “What?” Cole said, tilting his head in confusion. “If you're going to have the alias of a traveler, you got to look like one, Your Highness! And nothing says traveler more than a dirty and tired pony looking for a place to rest for a couple of days.” “Huh. I guess that makes sense.” Carefully lowering himself onto the sand, Cole began to roll around, working the grains deep into his fur, mane, and tail. When he was finished, he stood up and gave himself a shake, though much of the sand stubbornly clung to him. Elytra nodded approvingly, “Now, you're ready. Good luck, Your Highness, I'll see you back at the Hive in a couple of days.” Turning and leaving, Elytra left Cole to his own devices. Taking a deep breath, Cole walked over the dune and began making his way into town. As Cole entered the town, he was greeted by the sight of bustling streets filled with ponies dressed in stereotypical Wild West attire. Stetsons, vests, and ropes were worn everywhere; the only thing missing was their big irons. “Well, howdy there, mister! Can't say I've seen you ‘round here before!” Turning toward the southern-sounding voice, Cole came face-to-face with his first pony. It was an old earth stallion with a maroon coat and brown eyes. His mane and tail were a mix of grey and dark red, and perched on his head was a brown stetson adorned with a star that had the word “Sheriff” engraved on it. He wore a brown, cotton vest with a white undershirt, and on his flank was a Cutie Mark depicting a sheriff’s badge surrounded by a whip. “Say, what's your name, partner? My name's Sheriff Whip, but you could just call me Whipper.” “Uh, my name's Graphic Map, sir,” Cole said nervously. “Graphic Map? That's a nice name. We don't usually get that many unicorns around these parts. What's your story?” “J-Just traveling,” Cole stammered. “Trying to see the world, y'know? M-My parents always wanted to, but they never got the chance… so I’m doing it for them,” he added, letting faux sadness seep into his tone. Whipper's expression immediately softened, his face falling with regret. “Oh, sorry ‘bout that, son. Didn’t mean to dredge up any bad memories.” Cole shook his head, offering a faint smile. “No, it’s alright—you didn’t know,” he said softly. “But could you help me find an inn or someplace to stay? I’ve been traveling for a while and could really use a few days to rest.” Whipper nodded, “Yeah, just follow me.” Following Whipper, Cole felt his heart hammer in his chest, and beads of sweat roll down his face. He knew lying would be nerve-wracking but he didn't think it'd be this bad. It felt like one wrong move would instantly give him away. Approaching a large wooden building with multiple windows, Whipper led Cole inside and directly to the front desk. Behind it stood a magenta-coated earth mare, her mane partially tucked beneath—of course—a stetson. As her eyes lifted to meet Whipper's, they widened in surprise. “Whipper? Well, ain’t this a surprise! What brings you here? Did your wife kick you out again or somethin’?” she teased with a playful grin. Whipper let out a boisterous laugh, waving her off dismissively. “No, nothin’ like that. Just bringing a tourist around. He’ll be stayin’ in town for a couple of days. Goes by the name Graphic Map,” he said, gesturing toward Cole. “Hello,” Cole waved with a smile. Guitar waved back with a smile of her own, “Howdy, Graphic! It’s nice to meet ya. How long you gonna be staying, hun?” “A week, give or take.” Grabbing a pencil with her mouth, Guitar scribbled Cole's “name” down on a check-in list. “Alrighty, it's going to be 15 bits per night.” Before Cole could reach for the sack of stolen bits in his saddlebag, Whipper placed a hoof on his shoulder and shook his head. “Now, don’t you worry ‘bout that, son. I’ll cover your first two nights, no charge,” he said with sincerity. Cole was taken aback. “Wha- A-Are you sure about that, sir?” Whipper chuckled. “Yeah, I mean it.” He turned to Guitar. “Give him a room key, Guitar. I’ll be back with a sack o’ bits,” he said before turning and heading out. As the doors swung open and closed, Cole heard him call out, “And get yourself cleaned, son! You look like you came out of a sandstorm!” Cole gave himself a once over, noticing the egregious amount of sand still clinging to his body. “Huh. I guess I do.” Guitar chuckled before getting up from her chair, grabbing one of the keys from under her desk with her mouth, and holding it out to Cole. Using his magic, Cole took the key from her mouth in a green aura and glanced at the number tag attached to it. "That’s room 115,” Guitar said. “Just take the stairs down the hall, go up one floor, and you’ll find it," she said, smiling warmly. Cole nodded with a smile of his own. “Thank you,” he said before trotting off. “And the bathhouse is the next building over!” Guitar shouted. “Thanks, again!” Cole shouted back. And so, Cole embarked on his first mission to steal love for the Hive. The first two days proved to be unproductive. He spent the first day resting after taking a much-needed bath, while the second day was dedicated to scouting the town. During his observations, he carefully noted dark shadows, potential hiding places, and dead ends—just in case he found himself caught or chased. Apparently, ponies are entirely unaware of changelings or what they are. This ignorance makes it remarkably easy for a changeling to blend in with the local populace—provided they know what they’re doing. For Cole, this meant he shouldn’t face much trouble fitting in, as long as the ponies around him weren’t actively on the lookout for disguises. It wasn’t until the third day that Cole finally began his hunt for “prey.” Ugh, even thinking of that word left a vile taste in his mouth. Entering the town’s only bar, Cole was relieved to see it packed to the brim. Nearly every table was occupied by young mares and stallions dressed in Western attire. The air was thick with a cacophony of emotions—joy, sadness, anger, anxiety, and, most importantly, love. Though love was present in the air (literally), it was mostly emitted from couples sitting together at small tables, talking and gushing to each other with bright smiles on their faces. Approaching an empty table for two, Cole sat down and waited patiently for a waiter to come by. As he waited, Cole contemplated how he would go about stealing his “prey’s” love. He ruled out doing a casual hookup. According to Chrysalis, it didn’t allow him to steal an optimal amount of love. Cole had to find a mare that was interested in him and found him at least slightly attractive for this to work. Or he could try to find a stallion if he was brave enough… Ha! No way in hell is that happening. “Hello, mister! Welcome to the Apple Family Bar! What can I getcha?” Glancing to his left, Cole saw an amber-coated mare with a tophat and a handkerchief tied around her neck. “Hello to you too. What do you guys have?” “Well, we got beer, we got whisky, we got brandy, and we even got the ol’ classical Canterlot wine! But if you want somethin’ better than all of those, then I could get you some home-grown Apple Family apple cider!” “I think I’ll be the judge of that,” Cole said playfully. “I’ll take the apple cider.” The mare nodded before trotting off to the bar table to get his drink. Cole’s eyes lingered on her plush flank for a moment and he wondered how they'd feel being squished by his hooves. The sound of the chair in front of him scrapping against the floor caught his attention, and Cole turned his head in front of him to see who decided to sit with him. “Howdy! Hope you don’t mind me sittin’ with you. Place is pretty crowded today.” Cole could only stare in dumbfounded shock as a stunning mare sat before him, gazing at him with her beautiful orange eyes. She had a perfectly groomed yellow coat and a silky smooth black mane that hung freely around her shoulders. She donned a brown stetson, and around her neck was a checkered, red, and white neckerchief. Finally, on her delectable flanks was a Cutie Mark that depicted a rope tied into a lasso. “It’s nice to meet you! The name’s Tie Down. What’s yours?” “Uh… I- um… G-Graphic Map,” Cole replied, his cheeks blushing as he listened to her majestically melodic voice. “Well, I’ll say. I’ve never met a unicorn in person before! Where are you from, sugar?” Well, it's time to put his improv training to the test. “I’m from, uh, Canterlot.” Tie Down went bug-eyed, “Canterlot? Shoot! What’s a fancy and handsome stallion like yourself doin’ all the way down here?” “Oh, m-me? Just traveling!” Cole said with increasing nervousness. Tie Down giggled into her hoof, “Relax, Graphic. I don’t bite.” She then gave him half-lidded eyes and Cole felt a burst of lust fill the air around her. “Not unless you want me to~” Suddenly, Cole’s body felt like it was on fire, every fiber of his being hyperaware of her presence. His nostrils flared with each inhale of her sweet, intoxicating scent, and a familiar urge began to take hold of his mind, a relentless chant to breed echoing through him. “I-I- b- th- uh-” he sputtered, unable to form words. “Why don’t I give you a taste?” Tie Down leaned forward, her lips slightly parted, a hungry glint in her eyes that made Cole’s heart race. Without even realizing it, he found himself leaning in as well, his head tilting instinctively to meet hers. Their eyes locked in an unbroken gaze, the world around them fading into a hazy blur. Cole’s lips pursed, ready to share a deep, passionate kiss with her. But the moment was shattered as the waiter returned. “A glass of apple cider for you mister!” she said boisterously, placing the glass down on the table. Cole and Tie Down both jerked back into their seats, startled by the sudden and untimely return of the waiter. The awkwardness hit like a thunderclap, the tension that had been built dissolving into the air. The waiter paused, her eyes darting between the two of them—taking in the furious blush lighting up Cole’s face and the sharp, withering glare Tie Down was directing her way. The waiter chuckled nervously, “W-Was I interrupting somethin’?” Tie Down snorted. “Ahaa… I’ll come back later,” the waiter muttered before quickly leaving. Tie Down’s ears flicked in irritation before she directed her gaze back at Cole, a sweet smile forming on her lips once more. “So, you said you’re from Canterlot? How’s it like there?” Cole’s horn lit up with a soft green glow, and his glass of apple cider floated into the air, enveloped in the same shimmering aura. He brought it to his lips and took a long sip, the crisp sweetness calming his nerves and racing heart. “It’s… It’s great! There’s not many other places where you can see so many ponies at once.” Quickly overcoming their initial awkwardness, the two fell into an engaging conversation. During their long chat, Cole learned a great deal about Tie Down. She worked as a cattle wrangler, spending most of her time on her family’s farm herding cattle, milking them, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they didn’t get into trouble. This was a source of confusion for Cole because the cattle were also sapient. Yet, despite their intelligence, they’re still kept as livestock? Cole dismissed the idea. According to Tie Down, the relationship was more of a conscientious, symbiotic agreement. They provide the farm with a large quantity of milk to sell, and the ponies give them a place to safely graze and live. The reason Tie Down was in Appleloosa instead of at her family’s farm was that she had planned to participate in a bull-riding competition. However, the event had been canceled for some reason. With the competition no longer happening, she decided to take advantage of the vacation time in Appleloosa, all while her family still believed she was competing. “Say, you’re staying at Guitar’s inn, right? Why don’t we go over and… roll around in the hay?” Tie Down said, wrapping a hoof around Cole’s and giving him bedroom eyes. Cole felt a shiver run down his spine as her lust-filled golden eyes locked onto his. Another thing he had learned about her was just how flirtatious she could be with him. Mid-way into their conversation, she started dropping hints and not-so-subtle indications that she wanted to bed him, and it was growing increasingly difficult to keep his partner in its sheath. Cole’s nostrils flared as the same sweet scent from earlier filled the air, making his body react instantly. Beads of sweat began to form and trickle down his face as a wave of heat washed over him, his breathing growing heavier with every passing second. His skin tingled with heightened sensitivity, and before he realized it, his hoof instinctively clutched Tie Down’s as the overwhelming sensations persisted. Cole, despite the haze clouding his thoughts, managed to wonder—did ponies also have pheromones? Tie Down smiled as she felt Cole clutch her hoof. “Yes? No? I’ve gotta say, I’ve been craving a more… exotic experience lately. Won’t you help me out with that?” she said, running her hoof up his foreleg, making Cole shiver once more. Cole weighed his options. This mare clearly wanted him, and to be honest, he wanted her too. He also wasn’t sure if he would get another opportunity like this. For all he knows, the reason she’s so adamant about having sex with him is because she’s leaving for her family’s farm tomorrow. And so, with his decision made, Cole stared into Tie Down’s eyes and began releasing his own potent pheromones. “Yeah, I think I will,” Cole said with a sultry smile. /// The door to Cole’s room burst open with a resounding thud as he and Tie Down stumbled inside, their breaths ragged and faces flushed with a vivid shade of scarlet. Using his magic, Cole quickly shut the door and locked it right as Tie Down pounced on him, sending him onto his back and her stetson flying from her head. Tie Down crawled on top of Cole, the lewd scene making his already hardened cock twitch in anticipation. Placing her forehooves on either side of his head, Tie Down lay on top of him and buried her face into his thick, furry neck before breathing in deeply. She shuddered as she inhaled a lungful of his pheromones, the chemicals making her already horny body even hornier. Raising her head, she sloppily pressed her lips against Cole’s and began kissing him passionately while grinding her sopping wet cunt against his hard member. Cole moaned into the kiss, reciprocating her efforts with his own. Pushing his tongue against her lips, Tie Down welcomingly opened her mouth and allowed him to explore her. His tongue dragged along her teeth, and gums, and even swirled around her own in a wet dance of passion. Tie Down pushed back against his, and he allowed her to explore his mouth as well. Their needy moans filled the room as they continued their passionate make-out. Eventually, Tie Down pulled back, a strain of saliva staying connected between both lips before being broken apart. “Bed. Now,” she grunted, chest heaving as she rose from atop him. Cole quickly scrambled to his hooves and climbed up the wooden bed, the frame creaking as he lay his entire weight on it. Lying on his back, Cole watched as Tie Down climbed up on the bed and stood over him, her wet, dripping pussy coating his heavy balls with drops of her nectar. Cole’s cock throbbed excitedly in preparation for penetrating her tight confines. But his excitement turned to confusion once she turned around and exposed her winking lips to him. Before Cole could process and admire the perfection of her dark lips, Tie Down abruptly sat her flank down on his face, coating him with her juices. Without any prompting, Cole wrapped his hooves around her flank, brought her entrance to his mouth, and began to ravage her with his tongue. Tie Down tensed and let out a cute squeak as she felt Cole’s inexperienced but energetic tongue drift along and occasionally probe her entrance. The succulent and fruity flavor coated his tongue and drove him to explore deeper into her depths. This, while not exactly new to Cole, was still an unexplored avenue for him. Chrysalis was never one for foreplay and always wanted to get to the main show as soon as possible. Cole moaned as he felt her hoof wrap around the base of his cock before something wet drifted along his tip. His cock throbbed at the sudden pleasure, and he instinctively thrust his hips upwards, pushing his cock inside her mouth and to the back of her throat. Amazingly, Tie Down didn’t gag, instead, she reflexively shoved his cock down her throat before being forced to stop mid-way. She then proceeded to facefuck herself with reckless abandon, pulling back until her lips barely grazed the tip of his cock, only to ram her face back down again with unbridled intensity. The sounds that escaped her were a mix of muffled moans and choked gags as her mouth struggled to accommodate his pulsing cock. A dumb smile was present on her face as her tongue swirled around his girth, mapping every vein and curve as his musky odor traveled down her windpipe. Tie Down felt her entire body grow hotter with each second that passed, to the point where it felt like her blood was boiling under her skin. Cole's tongue was no longer enough, and she felt her insides clenching with a great longing for his horsemeat. Pulling back entirely with a distinct pop, Tie Down quickly rose to her hooves and turned back around. Cole bemoaned the loss of her luscious juices, but his discontent quickly shifted into eagerness as Tie Down straddled his hips. Tie Down didn’t waste a moment. Lifting her hips, she aimed his twitching shaft at her entrance before sinking herself down onto him. Cole and Tie Down let out throaty moans as they both connected, the unbearable heat assaulting their bodies calming and giving them a moment of calm. Hilting him completely, Tie Down let out small moans and shaky breaths as she placed her forehooves on his chest to keep herself balanced. “Oh, b-buck…” she murmured. Cole brought his hooves up and held her hips securely. “Y-You okay?” he asked, heart racing and blood pumping. Tie Down nodded, “Yeah, j-just give me a second…” Taking a deep breath, Tie Down raised herself up, stopping at his tip, before slamming herself back down. Pure bliss and an unparalleled amount of euphoric pleasure shot through her as his cockhead rammed into her cervix, the intense sensation forcing a scream from deep within her throat. If the other tenants in the building couldn’t hear them before, they sure did now. The bed’s wooden frame creaked in protest as Tie Down's relentless movements pushed it to its limits. Tie Down’s moans grew louder and more incessant with each bounce on his cock, the sensations she was feeling driving her wild. Cole groaned as he tightened his grip on her hips and began timing his thrusts with her merciless bounces. The room echoed with flesh meeting flesh and it felt like Tie Down was trying to shatter his pelvis with how hard she was slamming herself down on him. “Ah! Ah! Ah! AHH! Oh, buck! Oh, BUCK!” Tie Down was locked in a state of utter pleasure as she kept riding this absolute beast of a stallionhood. His cock touched her in all the right places and would occasionally stimulate her g-spot, making her gush her sweet juices and coil tightly around him. The whorish moans emanating from the room made ponies unfortunate enough to be listening blush madly. Cole ground his teeth together and grunted as he began to feel the telltale signs of an orgasm approaching. His muscles tensed, and he felt a rising tension forming around his tip as it flared in preparation for his ejaculation. “I’m getting close…” Cole moaned, struggling to keep himself back. “Inside! I want it inside of me!” she howled in reply. Unable to hold himself back, Cole brought her down onto him until he was completely enveloped in her sweltering depths, and he let loose. Cole’s eyes rolled to the back of his head and he felt himself stop breathing as he released thick jets of his seed inside of her. Tie Down’s insides contracted around him and rhythmically pumped his cock, eager to empty him of all he had. After the seventh jet of his seed, Cole was now only releasing weak spurts that slowly died down until his orgasm ended. Gasping for air, Cole blinked several times, trying to steady his breathing. As his vision cleared, he was slow to realize that he was seeing through eight eyes again, and as such, didn’t realize that he had lost his disguise. “Finally, you show your true self to me,” he heard Tie Down say. Confused by the sudden statement, Cole tilted his head up just in time to witness Tie Down being consumed by swirling orange flames. What emerged from the fiery shroud made all eight of his eyes widen in shock. Two glowing orange eyes with sharp, cat-like pupils bore into him, radiating unsatiated hunger. A serrated horn, jagged along the front and back, jutted from her forehead, its sharp tip gleaming ominously. Perched just behind the horn sat a crown similar to Chrysalis’, though it held only two glowing, bright yellow beads compared to Chrysalis’ four. Her mane, however, was strikingly different—a radiant yellow and gold, cut short to just below her chin. Most of it swept over the left side of her head, while a few rebellious strands draped across her right eye and ear. Cole jolted in surprise as he noticed that her ear was missing a large chunk and that she also had fangs jutting from her mouth, the details adding even more to her already ominous appearance. Her carapace shimmered in a rich golden hue, gradually fading into a vibrant orange along her back. with two dark orange, semi-translucent wings jutting her back. Her tail, like her mane, was also cut short, the gold and yellow strands tickling his balls as she slowly wagged her tail from side to side. Finally, the most noticeable feature about her was the unmistakable and distinctive number of holes adorning her legs, mane, wings, and tail. “Wha—!?” Cole started to scream before his mouth was covered by quickly hardening slime. “Shhh. We wouldn’t want other ponies to get suspicious would we?” she whispered sweetly. Feeling panic quickly overcome his thoughts, Cole instinctively raised his hooves to swing at her, but with two spits, they were coated in slime and stuck to the bed's headboard. Pulling on his hooves with all the strength he could muster, Cole whimpered pitifully once he realized there was no escape. As a last-ditch effort, Cole tried to use his magic to attack her. “Tie Down” watched with smug interest as Cole attempted to activate his horn, only managing a faint, dim green glow before it faded completely. “Tie Down” chuckled cruelly. “Oh, to fight till the very end and still lose. No wonder Chrysalis has such an interest in you—so feisty.” She then leaned in close to his face. “If you’re wondering why you can’t use your magic, I put a little inhibitor on you while you were oh so generously pumping me full of your seed.” True to her words, Cole could feel something similar to a ring firmly secured near the base of his horn. The inhibitor let out a small, barely audible hum as it glowed with a dim blue light, the energy it emitted disabling his most important feature. Cole let out a muffled moan as he felt her raise her hips and let his softening cock slip out of her insides, her entrance dripping with his thick seed. Lying on top of him, belly to belly, “Tie Down” glanced out the room’s only window, noticing that the sun was just beginning to set over the horizon. “Looks like we’re going to be here all night, just you and me,” she purred, licking her lips between her fangs. “And by the time we’re done, you’ll belong to me and me alone, my little King,” she said, caressing his cheek. Cole glared at the orange changeling above him, his stinger twitching in anticipation. She didn’t seem to realize he could still use it against her. Curling his abdomen, Cole suddenly thrust his stinger forward, aiming to bury the sharp point in the changeling’s thigh. Suddenly, the changeling’s horn flared with an orange aura, and Cole’s stinger came to an abrupt halt. “You didn’t think I’d forget about that, did you?” Cole growled in defiance and desperately tried to sting her, but it was no use. Unimpressed by his resistance, “Tie Down” forced his stinger down with her magic before engulfing Cole’s entire body in her orange aura. His eyes widened in recognition of the spell just as he suddenly found himself unable to move. “There we go. Much better,” she said. Still feeling the anger and hate wafting off Cole in droves, “Tie Down” placed a small smooch on his forehead below his horn. “Don’t worry, I, Queen Seraphyx will take great care of you. But first, a little something to get you fired up.” Cole’s eyes widened in terror as he felt Seraphyx sink her fangs into his neck, biting down hard enough to puncture his chitin. Groaning in pain, he felt something get injected into his bloodstream before Seraphyx pulled back and licked the wound clean. The effect was near instantaneous. Cole's body transformed into a furnace, blazing with an unbearable heat that sent his cock swelling to full mast within seconds. His chitin became incredibly sensitive, allowing him to feel every subtle breath Seraphyx took and each drop of her sweat as it fell from her face and trickled down his neck. Finally, his mind was consumed with the single-minded and primal need to bury his cock deep inside this goddess of a changeling and pump her full of his baby batter. Cole let out muffled mewls of longing while his cock throbbed with incessant yearning. His body and mind ached with a desperate need to plunge into her and be enveloped by her scorching depths only to be stopped by the cruel spell Seraphyx had placed upon his body. Cole didn’t need to wait much longer, however, as Seraphyx mercifully impaled herself on his throbbing shaft, forcing a choked moan out of Cole as she began to ride him with renewed fervency. Cole let out moan after moan, his body trembling and his eyes struggling not to roll to the back of his head under the intense pleasure he was feeling. It quickly became too much for him to bear, and he found himself shooting buckets into Seraphyx’s womb after only twenty seconds. Seraphyx refused to relent, continuing to ride Cole with unyielding fervor even as he was consumed by a mind-shattering orgasm. Her pelvic muscles maintained their relentless grip, coiling and sucking him in a rhythmic motion that pushed his sensitive organ to its limits and beyond. The sensation was a double-edged sword, veering wildly between agonizing overstimulation and euphoric pleasure. As Cole was subjected to Seraphyx's onslaught, he was quickly reduced to a state of incoherent crying and mewling, and time lost all meaning. He couldn't tell if it had been an hour or a year since they had begun, and whenever he tried to think clearly, his thoughts were drowned out by waves of pain and pleasure. Cole let out a muffled scream as he felt yet another mind-shattering orgasm crash through him. His chest heaved, his body shook, and his cock quivered as his senses continued to be relentlessly assaulted. But then, it all stopped, and Cole was mercifully given a moment of reprieve to catch his breath. “Such a good colt~ Tell me, has that hussy Chrysalis ever made you feel this way?” Seraphyx’s melodic voice asked through the haze in Cole’s mind. The hardened slime around Cole’s mouth melted away, allowing him to answer. “N… No…” Cole weakly said through labored breaths. Seraphyx grinned wickedly, “So, if you had to choose between her Hive and mine, which would you join?” she asked, emphasizing the question with a tight squeeze of her insides. Cole groaned, his broken mind still struggling to catch up to him. “Y... You…” he mumbled. “Good~” Seraphyx’s horn flared with a bright orange aura as she brought its sharp tip down to meet Cole’s. He felt a distinct pull at his horn and allowed Seraphyx to assimilate him into her Hivemind. The connection between him and Chrysalis was ruthlessly severed, replaced by a new link between him and Seraphyx. Normally, such a monumental event would have immediately alerted Chrysalis, but the distance between her and Cole ensured she wouldn’t notice a thing until it was too late. Cole’s eyes suddenly shifted, changing from a toxic green to a vibrant orange. His carapace, wings, and neck fin followed suit, transforming from blue-green to a shade of orange-yellow. “Perfect~” Seraphyx purred sweetly as she gazed gleefully at her King's new look. Cole’s world once again devolved into a state of blinding pleasure and pain, his senses completely shattered by Seraphyx's unrelenting intensity. The sounds of his and Seraphyx’s primal lovemaking echoed endlessly into the night, and Cole would find himself passing out in an incomprehensible mess later in the early hours of dawn.

I'm uploading this at, like, 2 AM and I may have missed some things while editing |) Cerulean Valleys Cole stared wearily at the ceiling of his and Seraphyx's shared chambers. His body was sore, aching with exhaustion as he woke from yet another night of depravity. How long had this been going on? A week? Two weeks? A month? Cole couldn’t tell. Seraphyx never let him outside the Hive, barely let him explore the Hive at all. He felt a new level of frustration well up within him, but Cole stamped it down and took a deep breath. Getting angry wouldn’t fix the problem he was in. Cole raised his right hoof and massaged his horn, feeling the magical inhibitor still firmly secured near its base. When he glanced at his hoof, he noticed the small hole that was present a while ago had grown significantly, and new ones were beginning to form on his other three hooves. It was to be expected, he supposes. Seraphyx was siphoning love from him more often than Chrysalis did. Three sharp knocks jolted Cole from his thoughts, and he glowered at the chamber’s entrance. “It’s time to wake up, my King! The Queen requests your presence in the throne room!” “Elytra’s” chipper voice rang out. Cole’s glower turned into a scowl at the sound of “Elytra’s” voice. His real name is Vertex, and that bastard was the reason Cole had been kidnapped in the first place. As it turns out, he had never been part of Chrysalis’ Hive at all; he was just a little cockroach who managed to infiltrate it after killing the real Elytra and taking his place in the Hivemind. Three more sharp knocks rang out before he heard the voice in his head this time. “My King? Are you awake?” Vertex questioned innocently. Hissing angrily, Cole rolled off the bed and staggered toward the door, ignoring both the ache in his legs and his bent neck fin. His stinger twitched in anticipation, but the hardened slime encasing it rendered it useless. Cole wanted to hurt Vertex—wanted to hurt him so badly—but Cole always held himself back. He didn’t know, nor did he want to know, how Seraphyx might react to him leaving lasting injuries on her subjects. Opening the door, Cole was met with Vertex about to knock on the door for a third time. Vertex perked up at the sight of his King and he lowered his hoof before speaking. “My King!” he said cheerfully. “It’s so great to-” “Shut up.” Vertex flinched at Cole’s venomous tone, his hooves trembling slightly under the weight of the sheer amount of hatred directed at him. “M-My, Kin- agh!” Vertex yelped as Cole shoved a hoof against his neck, forcing him to the ground. He gasped for air, but the pressure only increased as Cole pressed down harder. “You will not speak unless spoken to. Do I make myself clear?” Vertex nodded frantically, “Y-Yes, I’m sorry!” his terror-ridden voice shouted. Satisfied, Cole lifted his hoof and allowed Vertex to breathe. Once his airway was freed, the orange-gold changeling took in greedy breaths before hesitantly meeting Cole’s eight piercing eyes. Cole narrowed his eyes at the changeling, taking a deep breath to calm himself before speaking once more. “Remind me, why are you here?” Cole ordered calmly. Vertex, still trembling, answered swiftly. “The Q-Queen sent me to r-retrieve you, my K-King,” he stammered. Cole nodded before taking a quick moment to straighten out his neck fin. “Lead the way,” he said apathetically. Vertex bowed, not daring to utter another word, and began trotting down the dimly lit tunnel, with Cole falling into step beside him. As they walked, Cole made a concerted effort to memorize the labyrinthine corridors and tunnels that comprised Seraphyx's Hive, hoping to identify a potential escape route. His task was simplified by the fact that he was currently in the lowest levels of the Hive. So he only needed to worry about moving upward. However, even this rather straightforward goal was complicated by the complete lack of any concrete knowledge of the layout of the Hive. Cole has only ever visited the upper levels, like, maybe two or three times, so his escape plan has a very good chance of backfiring on him. Cole shuddered at the thought of what kind of punishment Seraphyx might give him if he failed. “M-May I have p-permission to speak, y-your Highness?” Vertex anxiously stammered. Cole didn't bother to turn to him, only looking at him with his peripheral eyes. “You may,” Cole replied coolly. “I kn-know you may not l-like what I did, b-but I only did it with th-the best intentions in mind,” Vertex said. “The Queen isn't so bad o-once you get to know her!” Cole chuckled, turning to face him with a toothy grin, “And by ‘best intentions’ you mean the reward she no doubt gave you for leading me into her trap, huh?” Cole leaned in close to Vertex's face. “Jeez, you're just another Basal, aren't you? Only worrying about getting in the Queen’s good graces. Fucking pathetic.” Vertex's eyes widened, shocked that Cole would make such an accusation. “Wh-What? N-No, my King! I truly thought that-” “No, you didn't think shit.” Vertex flinched away from Cole's totalitarian tone, his body trembling and screaming at him to bow at the monarch's hooves lest he suffer the consequences. “All you did was follow Seraphyx's orders like the good little lamb you are. You did this expecting I would somehow be okay with it and find it in myself to understand and forgive you. But I'm telling you right now. “I. Am. Not. “Now shut up and keep going.” Vertex trembled and sniffled quietly as Cole walked away from him, his hoofsteps growing quieter as he walked down the tunnel. “I won't tell you again, Vertex,” Cole said through the Hivemind. Vertex whimpered, jumping to his hooves and retaking his spot next to Cole. His body shaking with uncontrolled fear. After an uncomfortable eight-minute walk, Vertex was more than happy to leave Cole alone and wallow in his despair somewhere else. Cole couldn't care less, the more he wallows, the better. Taking a deep breath, Cole knocked on the throne room doors and waited. The doors were engulfed in a golden aura before they were slowly opened. As they opened, Cole could hear the talking inside come to a halt as every pair of eyes inside landed on him. The throne room bore a striking resemblance to Chrysalis', with its expansive chamber and an obnoxiously large throne at its center. However, a notable difference emerged in the form of a second, equally imposing throne, positioned alongside the first. One throne was clearly intended for Cole, while the other was meant for Seraphyx. Interestingly, Cole's throne appeared to be more elaborately designed and ornate. It was most likely an attempt by Seraphyx to appease Cole and be like “Hey! I made you this cool throne so I’m obviously better than Chrysalis!” If that’s the case then she can keep trying. Cole wasn’t going to be easily placated. Stepping inside the throne room, Cole rolled his eyes at the deep bows directed his way. Ignoring the other changelings, Cole walked up to Seraphyx’s throne where said Queen sat. Cole gestured to the other throne. “I assume that one’s for me?” he asked. Seraphyx grinned, “Of course it would be. What’s a King without his throne?” Cole rolled his eyes once more, then sprang upward, using his wings to boost himself onto his throne. He circled around in it for a moment, searching for the perfect position to settle into, before ultimately deciding to simply lie down on top of it. “So, am I actually going to do something today, or am I just going to sit here and look pretty?” Cole asked scornfully. Seraphyx giggled, unbothered by Cole’s tone, “Yes, you’ll be doing a lot of things starting today, but first, I have another gift for you.” Her horn suddenly flared with a golden hue, and something materialized in front of her. Furrowing his eyes at the action, Cole waited for the brightness to dim before finally looking at her supposed “gift.” “Oh. Oh my fucking God. You’re joking, right?” Cole felt like laughing out loud. Her “gift” was an orange collar with a gold tag that had the word “Coal” engraved on it. Cole snickered at her with a face that said “You can’t be serious.” Unfortunately, Seraphyx’s smug smirk did not fade, and Cole realized that, yes, she was serious. “No. Just no. I’m not wearing that,” Cole said with a deadpanned expression. “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice, Coal,” she giggled, her horn flaring brighter. Cole's body was suddenly enveloped in Seraphyx's golden aura. He grimaced as she restrained him, forcing him to remain still while she attached the collar around his neck. The moment the collar clicked shut behind his neck, Cole was released from her aura's hold. He immediately attempted to remove the offending device, but his hooves made it nearly impossible for him to manipulate the collar and free himself. Cole growled in frustration before attempting to tug the name tag off but to no avail. With an exasperated sigh, he released the despicable item with a frustrated yank. “You could’ve at least spelled my name right,” he grumbled. “I did spell your name right,” Seraphyx said with an innocent smile, leaving it at that. Cole rolled his eyes for the third time and sighed miserably. “Whatever. What am I doing here? You said I was going to be doing a lot of things soon.” Seraphyx nodded, “I’m sure you’re aware of how to maintain the Hive, yes? Chrysalis taught you that much, I presume?” “Yeah? What about it?” “I’m going to be gone for a week. A week and a half at the latest. And I need someling to watch over my Hive while I’m gone.” “Me?” Cole asked, not believing what he was hearing. This could be his golden opportunity! “Yes, you,” Seraphyx said self-evidently. “You are the King, are you not?” “Yeah, sure,” Cole dismissed, trying his best not to give away his excitement. Seraphyx nodded in acknowledgment, her expression serious. "For today, your role will be observational," she explained. "Leading the Hive entails far more than mere maintenance. You must monitor our love supply, ensure the grubs are thriving and healthy, keep tabs on active infiltrators, and attend to a plethora of other responsibilities." While it was already things Cole knew about from Chrysalis, he never really participated in all those duties as Chrysalis didn’t want to overwhelm him. She wanted to ease him into the responsibility of a King, unlike Seraphyx who was currently throwing him into the deep end. “And if you stay on your best behavior I’ll have a reward for you back in our chambers~” she whispered sultrily into Cole’s ear. Cole hated how much that made his heart race. “...and finally, we arrive at the nursing chamber,” Seraphyx announced as she and Cole stepped inside said chamber. Immediately all the nurses inside broke into deep bows at the sight of the King and Queen before returning to caring for the curious and rowdy grubs. Cole's eyes softened at the sight of the little rascals, and he walked to the center of the room, lay down on his belly, and waited for them to approach him. Immediately, all the grubs stopped what they were doing and stared at him with curious eyes. They chirped and trilled at him, and Cole responded with vocalizations of his own. They approached him in a wave of cries and squeaks, a sound that was music to Cole’s ears. As soon as they reached him, they eagerly climbed on top of him, and some attempted to squeeze themselves into the holes in his hooves. Cole smiled before grabbing three of them with his hooves and gently cleaning them with his tongue. Naturally, the three of them began to shriek and cry at the assault on their bodies, their tiny little limbs flailing in an attempt to escape his ministrations. “I see you're already acquainted with this area of expertise,” Seraphyx teased, lying down on her belly beside him. “Yeah, you could say that,” Cole smiled before finally releasing the screeching grubs. Looking around the nursery, Cole’s eyes landed on a large clutch of eggs—his eggs—snuggly kept together in a makeshift nest of blankets and pillows. There were about 12 in total, a lot less than 38, but Cole’s sure that’s going to change at some point if he doesn’t find a way out of here. Cole feels a stab of guilt hit him at the thought of escaping. Because, if he escapes, he’s essentially leaving those grubs fatherless. But, if he doesn’t escape, he’ll leave his grubs with Chrysalis fatherless. And the two of them seem to have a bit of bad blood between each other, so Cole doubts that they’ll, uh, “share.” “What’s wrong?” Seraphyx asks, sensing his negative emotions. “Nothing,” Cole quickly replies. “Is there anything else you want to show or tell me about?” he asks, carefully standing back up with the grubs on his back. Seraphyx shook her head and smiled. “No, but I’m sure you want to know what your reward is for being such a good colt today,” she said, gently caressing his cheek. Cole blushes, his cheeks growing dark orange, “I, uh, y-yeah, I guess.” “Come on, then,” Seraphyx giggled. “I’m sure this will be something you won’t forget,” she said, using her magic to take the grubs off his back and hooves. The two left the nursery with excited steps and made their way to their private chambers. At some point, Seraphyx began releasing her pheromones for Cole to smell, and while the use of pheromones didn’t make him lose himself anymore, it still did wonders for getting him in the mood. And wasn’t that a conundrum? For as much as he disliked her, Cole couldn’t find himself denying any chance of having sex with her, even though he probably should. He wonders how deep Chrysalis would dig his grave if she found out he was, more often than not, willing to plug Seraphyx’s holes with his tool. Arriving at their private chambers, Seraphyx steps inside with a smirk on her face, her tail swishing from side to side and allowing Cole shameless views of her winking pussy. Cole drank in the view as he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, his tongue exiting his mouth and licking his lips hungrily. “Now, about your reward,” Seraphyx said, turning to face him. Cole opened his mouth to question what it would be. But before he could get a word out, Seraphyx’s horn flared and Cole’s vision was engulfed with orange flames. The flames dissipated and he stared at Seraphyx in confusion, wondering why she did that. It was then that he realized that he either suddenly got a bit smaller, or Seraphyx had gotten bigger than him. “What just happened?” Cole asked in a confused tone. Seraphyx giggled and brushed her side against his, sending a shiver down Cole’s spine. “Why don’t you look under?” she said in a weirdly excited tone. Furrowing a brow at her choice of words, Cole did as she said and took a peek under his barrel. … His dick was gone. Cole blinked furiously, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him. But no matter how many times he did, his precious feature did not reappear. It was even more distressing when he realized that he couldn’t feel it either. “Wh… What?” Cole blurted out, unable to process what he was seeing. “Mmm, no wonder you stallions are always thinking with your cocks. This does feel rather delightful~” he heard Seraphyx purr in her sickly sweet tone. Hesitantly looking up, Cole saw Seraphyx staring at him as if he were a slab of meat. The look made Cole gulp nervously and take an unconscious step back. Something twitched in his vision, and Cole looked down to see an erect, veiny cock jutting out from a sheath underneath Seraphyx. Said cock was already eagerly dripping with an endless stream of pre that began to form a small puddle on the floor. “Hey, w-wait a minute. What’s going on?” Cole said, taking some more steps back. Seraphyx pressed forward, an eager grin on her face. “What’s wrong, Coal? Don’t you like your reward?” “Th-This feels like more like a punishment than a reward!” he exclaimed, his rump bumping into the wall of the chambers. “Relax,” Seraphyx calmly said as she closed the distance between them. Cole glanced away, desperate to find a way out of this uncomfortable situation. His wings buzzed anxiously, and the lack of a stinger made him feel all the more vulnerable. Then, a hoof softly cupped his chin, making him look up. There, he saw Seraphyx gazing at him with a soft expression. “I’ll be gentle,” she said reassuringly. For a brief moment, Cole found himself believing in the sincerity of her tone, but it was quickly thrown away with the horrifying and extremely uncomfortable thought of him being the one getting fucked instead of the other way around. Cole shook his head, “N-No! I don’t wa- Argh!” Cole yelped as Seraphyx suddenly and swiftly struck, clamping her fangs tightly around his neck and flooding him full of her aphrodisiac venom. Cole moaned as he felt a familiar warmth begin to form in his loins that quickly began to spread to the rest of his body. But Seraphyx didn’t let go, she kept pumping more and more of her venom into him, making Cole’s body turn into a burning furnace, and making his heart pump violently against his chest. By the time Seraphyx finally let him go, Cole barely registered collapsing to the floor in a trembling heap nor how fast he was breathing. The only thing his mind could focus on was the unbearable emptiness plaguing his newly changed sex. Cole whined and whimpered as he felt something nuzzle his neck. Sparing a hazy glance upwards, he saw Seraphyx staring down at him hungrily. “Don’t worry, my King. I’ll take good care of you,” Seraphyx whispered before igniting her horn. Cole’s body was engulfed in a golden aura, and he was gently whisked from the ground and carried over to the bed. Gently placing a whining Cole on the bed, Seraphyx took a moment to put him in a comfortable position. Laying Cole on his side, Seraphyx climbed on top of the bed and laid down behind him. Wrapping her arms around Cole, who was still endlessly moaning, Seraphyx spooned him and pulled him close. Cole gasped as he felt Seraphyx's warm body against his back, the sensation making his heart skip a beat. His excitement only grew once he felt Seraphyx's meat rub up against his winking folds. He whimpered and thrust his hips back, desperate to feel her inside of him. “Mmm, I can't wait to feel how tight you are~” Seraphyx whispered into his ear. She aimed her cock at his entrance and began to slowly thrust her hips forward. Cole gasped and moaned loudly as her tip pierced his folds, slowly stretching his virgin insides out. Eventually, Seraphyx bottomed out inside of him, her cock throbbing and pulsing with a primal desire to fuck Cole silly. She moaned loudly, relishing the absolutely divine amount of pleasure crashing through her body. If this is how stallions always felt during sex then she might never want to change back. On the other hand, Cole was completely intoxicated with pleasure. Colors flashed before his eyes, and the world swirled and spun incomprehensibly around him. He could feel his inner muscles as they contracted and massaged Seraphyx's cock, and the heat building inside him grew even more intense the longer they remained still. With a desperate whine, Cole began to thrust his hips back into her, the resulting influx of pleasure making him moan, sending shivers down his spine. Seraphyx grunted from the sudden movement before grinning and meeting his thrusts with her own. The two moved in perfect tandem, their synchronized lovemaking bringing untold amounts of euphoria and pushing them even closer to the peak of their passion. Seraphyx clutched Cole tighter against him and increased her pace, feeling an unfamiliar tightness building up in her. The sound of Cole’s ceaseless moans rising an octave was music to her ears, and the way he contracted tighter around her made her body hungry for more. “Such a good colt~ You’re such a good colt~” Seraphyx whispered into Cole’s ear. Cole's voice escaped as a strangled mewl before his muscles clenched even tighter around Seraphyx, his body shuddering violently as he unleashed a single, loud, piercing cry of pleasure. The mind-shattering orgasm crashed through him, leaving him breathless and overwhelmed. Seraphyx wasn’t far behind, and she let out a series of loud grunts of pleasure as she chased after her own orgasm. The tightness that had built up inside of her was now focused at her tip and threatened to erupt like a geyser. “Oh, b-buck! I think I’m ah- ahhhhh!” And erupt like a geyser she did. Burying her face deep into the crook of Cole's neck, Seraphyx let out a primal howl as she was consumed by her first male orgasm. Instinctively, she drove herself as deep into Cole as she could, hilting herself fully and unleashing thick ropes of seed inside him, filling him up to max capacity and forcing any excess out of small gaps in his entrance. Once her orgasm finally died down, Seraphyx took a moment to catch her breath and let her muscles relax. She had never experienced such an intense orgasm before, her normal orgasms couldn’t even begin to compare. But, the downsides were apparent with how exhausted she became after a single one. Now she understands the saying of stallions being “one dump chumps.” Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Cole’s desperate mewling, followed by him thrusting his hips back into Seraphyx’s softening cock sending a small jolt of pleasure down her spine. Seraphyx grinned, “You want more? I’ll give you more than you could ever ask for.” Cole was having a crisis. The likes of which he’s sure no one else has ever experienced before. Because not only had Seraphyx left him as a female, but he was also p… pregnant… How!? How was it possible!? Cole thought the transformations were simply disguises! He didn’t think he’d actually biologically turn into the creature/gender he chose! This was absolute bullshit! “Are you okay, my King?” Vertex’s hesitant voice said. “Okay? Okay!? Why would I be okay with this!?” Cole shouted, stopping his pacing to look at the offending changeling. Vertex squeaked, shrinking away from Cole’s piercing gaze. “W-Well, wouldn’t it b-be exciting to, um… l-lay the eggs, my King?” Cole clicked his tongue. A part of him was excited about the prospect—the female part, that is. Every other part wanted nothing to do with all the intricacies of being a woman. “I guess a little, but I didn't really ask for this you know!” Vertex stayed quiet, not knowing how to respond to Cole’s venting. Cole sighed, “Whatever, I guess I'll just have to deal with it,” he said as he rubbed the infuriating magic inhibitor still attached to his horn. “What's the first order of business today?” For as much as Cole abhorred Vertex at the moment, the changeling was a perfect choice to help him along with his royal duties in the Hive. And Cole hasn't had a chance to meet any other changelings apart from the ones that entered the throne room whenever he was present with Seraphyx. “Um, f-first, we have to visit the harvesting chamber for your donation of love. Then, we'll check how the new infiltrator recruits are doing and assign the instructors some deadlines for what you expect by the end of the week,” Vertex explained. “Alright, let's go and get this over with.” The following days passed in a blur of a familiar routine. Wake up, donate love, complete royal duties, sleep. It was a bit similar to his routine with Chrysalis except he was the one calling the shots now. He authorized the construction of new chambers, supervised the training of infiltrators, and frequently visited the nursery to play with the grubs. He even devised a plan for a group of infiltrators to kidnap some ponies for the Hive. As terrible as that last part was, Cole found himself getting used to the prospect. He still felt slightly bad about it, but what could he do about it? His new life was essentially kill or be killed. However, no amount of mental cushioning could prepare him for the act of laying the eggs in his womb. An event that continued to plague him with cruel uncertainty. Then, the last day of the week arrived, and Cole was terrified. “They're sure to come out now, right?? Will it, um, hurt?” Cole spoke to Vertex in a hushed tone, his eyes furrowed in fear. Vertex blinked, not entirely sure what to say, “What did the nurses say yesterday?” Cole clutched his bloated belly uncomfortably. “Well, they said the eggs should be coming out soon, but that's it! Nothing about if it'd be painful or not!” “The Queen never expressed any feelings of pain during the laying process. I'm sure if it were painful everyling would've felt it through the Hivemind,” Vertex tried reassuring. Unfortunately, it did little to quell Cole's nerves. Vertex patted Cole on the back, “Just relax, your Majesty. Everything will be fine!” he said with a smile. Cole frowned at Vertex. While such a casual gesture would have probably made Cole lose his temper a few days earlier, he had found himself growing appreciative of Vertex's presence once more. That or Cole was suffering from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome. “Hopefully, you're right, Vertex. Hopefully, you are right…” The day passed without too much interruption, and Cole found himself putting the thought of laying his eggs on the back burner as he focused on his royal duties. Right now, Cole was supervising the infiltrator recruits as they undertook their end-of-week test. The test required them to sneak past experienced infiltrators without revealing their presence through any emotional or physical means. Their objective was to reach the end of the room and return to the starting point without being detected. The test was performed in the practice chamber, which was about 20 feet high and 30 feet wide and long. Side-by-side, tiny structures resembling houses were constructed in the chamber, resembling a village. All of them were about 15 feet high and gave the recruits some hiding spaces and covered them in shadow. Above the practice area, hanging from the ceiling were large clumps of glowing orange slime that provided enough illumination to make the setting resemble a sunset. The experienced infiltrators would play the role of guards patrolling the area in armored pony disguises. If the guards found the recruit, then the recruit failed the test and would have to try again another time. Cole’s presence added another variable to the test, as the recruits now had to contend with the pressure of their King observing their performance. Some were, without a doubt, nervous, while others were eager to prove themselves. They would have to contain those emotions if they wanted to pass with flying colors. “Alright, Shade! You’re up next! Go whenever you’re ready!” the instructor shouted from the small balcony where he, Vertex, and Cole were seated. “I must say, I’m impressed with what you’ve done, Oz. So far, everyone has performed perfectly,” Cole says with a smile, watching as Shade approaches the village. “Well, I do strive for perfection, my King,” Oz said with a pleased smile. “I have been for the past 21 years.” “Seraphyx and I would expect nothing less.” Cole watched as Shade patiently stalked through the town, using the dark alleyways and shadows to his advantage as he got closer to the other side of the room. The “guards” were none the wiser, unknowingly passing by him a couple of times and sometimes almost brushing by Shade when checking any dark alleys he hid in. It also helped that Shade’s small size made it even more difficult for him to spot in the darkness. After about five more minutes of sneaking, Shade made it to the end, and Cole vaguely saw Shade doing a little celebratory dance before immediately stopping. Cole chuckled at the sight, finding it a bit humorous. Suddenly, Cole felt… something in his stomach. It was like an object was moving and doing flips inside his intestines or something. The feeling in his stomach was then followed by a slight burning sensation in his folds as his pelvic muscles suddenly relaxed without prompting. Cole’s vision swirled, his pupils dilated, and he felt a strong, instinctive urge to lie on his side and just relax. “My King? Are you alright?” Oz’s voice echoed in Cole’s ears. Cole barely registered to question, only letting out a faint curse before falling onto his side and allowing his body to do… whatever it was that it needed to do. Muffled shouts sounded all around Cole, but he didn't pay them any mind. The world around him moved and spun, and Cole suddenly found himself in a different room filled with many glowing orange eggs, the sight of which made him coo happily. “How many eggs has he laid so far?” Cole heard a feminine voice say. “Three,” he heard Vertex say. “Okay, we’ll take it from here…” Cole moaned in confusion as he regained his senses an hour and a half later. His body was trembling, and his insides and pelvis were unbearably sore. He was also wrapped in a very warm bundle of blankets. Huh, that's pretty nice. Cole groaned, fighting the urge to stay down and fall asleep inside the warm bundle. He let out a hiss as he tried to sit up, his body aching in protest. “It wouldn't be wise to move so soon, my King,” a female voice abruptly said, stopping Cole. Collapsing back to his side with a cry, Cole looked around to find where the voice came from. “I'm over here, your Highness,” she said again. Following the voice, Cole craned his head to see a changeling watching over a large clutch of glowing orange eggs. Cole instantly felt drawn to the eggs, wanting nothing more than to hold them and keep them close. These, he realized, were his eggs. “They're all nice and healthy, though one is a little smaller than usual, but it's nothing to worry about,” the nurse said before enveloping all the eggs in her magic. Carefully levitating the eggs off the ground, the nurse gently placed them next to Cole. “They're beautiful,” he whispered, as if speaking would disturb the grubs inside. The nurse smiled, “I would have to agree,” she whispered as well. In that moment, Cole forgot about everything, his plan to escape, his frustrations about Seraphyx, and his human life which he would never get back. The only thing Cole cared about at that moment was his eggs and how much he was going to love them. As it turns out, having an insatiable feeling of love and affection for his unborn young would make wanting to escape the Hive very difficult. Any time Cole would begin his escape plan, he would always find himself backing out at some point because he couldn't handle the thought of leaving his eggs behind. It was so unbearable that Cole would find himself retreating back to the nursery and cuddling with them, mumbling sweet nothings, and apologizing for almost abandoning them. But then, Cole had an epiphany. Maybe he was simply feeling this way because he was still female. If he was male again, then perhaps the emotional weight of abandoning the eggs wouldn't be so heavy on his head. “Please, Vertex? Isn't there something you can do? I don't know how much longer I can stand being like this before I get used to it,” Cole said with a shudder. “The Queen told me and everyling else that we weren't allowed to take off your inhibitor,” Vertex argued. “It's just for, like, five seconds! It's not like Seraphyx is gonna find out.” Vertex shuffled nervously, “I don't know…” “...Do you think I'm gonna hurt you?” “...A bit, but that's not the only reason.” Cole sighed and lowered himself to his belly. Vertex was really putting his acting skills to the test here. “Listen, can I… I just…” Cole let out a sigh, pausing for a moment to find the right words. “You don't trust me, don't you?” Vertex stayed silent, slightly afraid of what speaking his thoughts would bring. “Yeah, I wouldn't trust me either if I was you.” Cole paused again, letting his words sink in. “I know it's a lot for me to ask of you, especially because of how badly I treated you recently. But can you forgive me?” Vertex's eyes widened, the notion of his King asking for forgiveness instead of the other way around boggling his mind. “I- Wha- F-Forgiveness for what?” Vertex asked, his mind thrown for a loop. “Forgiveness for how shittily I've treated you until now?” “...Why?” Cole furrowed his brows in confusion, “Because it's a considerate and good thing to do? Because I want to take accountability for my slightly justified yet asshole actions?” “...The Queen never asks us for forgiveness whenever she does… less than pleasant things.” “Well, that's just because she's a shitty person who doesn't have a single humble bone in her body.” Vertex looked at Cole like he just insulted God. Which Cole may as well have in the changeling's eyes. “Um, o-okay? I forgive you?” Cole smiled softly, “Thank you.” The two sat in silence, not knowing what to say next. Cole tried his best to hide how desperate he was. Hoping- Praying for Vertex to have some sort of change in heart or character. Cole sighed, “Well, now that that's out of the way… What are we doing today?” Vertex didn't respond immediately, his mind still lost in thought. Cole felt a spark of hope as he watched Vertex's facial expressions shift slightly from whatever he was thinking about. This was it! It had to be! “Vertex?” Vertex looked up to Cole before quickly glancing away. “It'll only take five seconds?” he asked, his voice no higher than a whisper. “Uh, y-yes! Only five seconds,” Cole said a little too quickly. Vertex took a deep breath, oblivious to his tone, “O… Okay.” Cole struggled to hide his excitement as Vertex ignited his horn and bathed the magic inhibitor in an orange glow. Immediately, he felt a surge through his body as his magic returned to him, and without wasting a second, Cole activated his horn. “I'm so sorry,” Cole mumbled. “Wha-” Unfortunately, Vertex would not finish his sentence, as Cole knocked him unconscious by slamming his head into the rocky ground hard enough to leave a noticeable crack. Immediately after, Cole used his magic to remove the inhibitor around his horn and the collar from his neck before reverting to his male self. However, he stayed the same size so he wouldn't draw too much attention. As soon as he was done, Cole used his illusionary skills to add a fake inhibitor onto his horn, finishing his disguise. Looking back at Vertex, Cole thought about what to do with him. He couldn't, in good conscience, leave him in the Hive. Seraphyx would kill him without a second thought once she figured out what he did to help Cole escape. But, then again, Chrysalis would probably do the same since he was a spy. Cole sighed, he would just have to find a way to convince Chrysalis to keep Vertex alive. If he even manages to make his way back to Chrysalis without getting caught or lost that is. Levitating the unconscious changeling onto his back, Cole took a deep breath and began his escape plan for what was hopefully the last time. “I apologize, your Majesty, but I cannot allow you to pa-” a guard clad in rocky armor yelped as Cole spat slime at his face and dug his stinger into his legs. “Sleep,” Cole whispered before casting a sleep spell on the guard. The guard let out muffled shrieks and cries before eventually falling unconscious, his body slumping against the wall and his spear clattering to the floor. Cole took a deep breath before poking two nose holes into the hardening slime on the guard's face, ensuring that he wouldn't suffocate. Looking away from the guard, Cole turned his gaze down the long, dark hall that he was guarding. He thought that it led to one of the Hive's entrances as he was beginning to subtly feel the sun's heat through the soil. Looking back at Vertex who was still unconscious on his back—Cole used a heavy sleep spell a little earlier to keep him out for a while—he returned to his original, larger size before traversing down the dark tunnel. The tunnel didn't go very far, and Cole bumped into the end after only a minute of walking. Pushing against the rough barrier, Cole unceremoniously spilled out of the other side of a trapdoor, Vertex slipping from his back and landing on the hot sand. Cole glanced upward, relishing in the heat of the sun's rays as it bathed his entire body. Finally, after so long, Cole was free! Resettling Vertex on his back, Cole spat some slime on the changeling to keep him secure to his back before picking a random direction that he hoped would lead him to Chrysalis and running as fast as he could. “Do you think we’re almost there yet?” Cole asked an irritated Vertex. Vertex grumbled angrily from atop Cole’s back, “If I had known the direction we were going in, then maybe I would know where this river leads too. So, no, I don’t think we’re almost there yet.” Cole let out an exasperated sigh. He had been following this river for an entire day at this point, and his attempts at remaining optimistic were always stomped by Vertex. Ever since Vertex woke up, it had been nothing but angry grumbles and betrayed rants about how Cole was the worst person ever for doing him dirty like this. Cole tolerated it, as it was reasonable to be angry if anyone were in Vertex’s situation, but he found it unbearably irritating that Vertex didn’t see that Cole had most likely just saved his life. “Just how long are you going to stay angry? You do realize it’s not going to change anything, right?” Cole said. “I’m going to stay angry for as long as I feel like,” Vertex said with a pout. Cole snorted, “Wow, I didn’t know you were capable of acting like a child.” “I am not a child.” “Keep behaving like that and you might as well be.” Vertex huffed but decided to stay quiet and resign himself to silently grumbling in his mind. Cole cheered internally at Vertex’s silence, finally getting another moment of peace to figure out how to sever his and Vertex’s link with Seraphyx’s Hivemind. It was something Vertex would no doubt hate, but he, unfortunately, wouldn’t have a choice in the matter. Cole was on the run, and he wouldn’t be taking any risks. Cole licked his dry lips, maybe a small break to get a drink wouldn’t be too bad. “Hey, are you thirsty?” he asked Vertex. “...A bit,” Vertex replied gruffly. “Okay,” Cole said, approaching the river. “Please don’t do anything stupid.” Destroying the hardened slime coating Vertex’s body with his magic, Cole allowed the changeling to walk by himself for the first time in hours, something Vertex greatly appreciated if his long, cat-like stretch was saying anything. “Gods, that felt good,” Vertex moaned as he finished stretching his legs. “I bet, your body was shaking and everything,” Cole said with a chuckle. Vertex gave him a stink eye but remained quiet as he approached the flowing river. Cole rolled his eyes in response, surely Vertex can’t keep this attitude going for much longer. Dipping his mouth into the water, Cole moaned in delight as he felt its coolness work its way down his throat and quench the thirst his body was feeling. Stopping for a moment to breathe, Cole went back to drinking until he was positively full. Once Cole was done, he lifted his head out of the water and let out a satisfied breath. “Shit, that felt good,” he said with a grin. “I’d have to agree,” Vertex said with a lick of his lips. Then the two continued walking, and walking, and walking some more. And when they could no longer walk, they flew as far as their wings would carry them before exhaustion finally took its toll. Collapsing to the sandy ground, the two rolled over onto their backs to watch as the sun disappeared and allowed the night sky to settle above their heads. A loud growl suddenly pierced the desert’s silence, and both Cole and Vertex clutched their stomachs, groaning in pain as the lack of food and their relentless exertion over the past day and a half began to present itself to the miserable changelings. “Oh, I’m so hungry…” Vertex moaned with a grunt of pain. Cole glanced at Vertex, sharing in the same pain, but probably not as much as Vertex was feeling. Cole felt a twinge of sadness as he watched Vertex toss and turn in the sand, the growling coming from the changeling’s stomach not ceasing for a moment. Cole’s feeling of hunger quickly turned to concern as he watched Vertex whimper and clutch his unruly stomach, the growling coming from it only growing louder as the seconds passed. “Vertex? Are… Are you okay?” Cole asked worriedly. Vertex moaned, “It… It hurts.” Instantly, Cole was on his legs and holding Vertex in his hooves. Cole anxiously held the hurting changeling against his chest and tried to figure out what was hurting him. “Vertex! What’s happening!? Talk to me, please!” Cole desperately shouted. “Hungry… Hungry…!” Vertex said with heavy breaths. Vertex suddenly let out a scream, his body convulsing violently in Cole’s grasp. The holes scattered across his frame began to ooze thick, orange blood, as deep cracks spiderwebbed out from them. His wings shriveled, curling inward like a wilting flower, their once-sturdy form growing frail and lifeless. Worst of all, his glowing orange eyes flickered and dimmed, as if a flame inside him was being snuffed out. Cole's breath hitched and sheer panic gripped him as he watched Vertex’s body deteriorate before his very eyes. The once-small cracks around his holes spread rapidly, creeping along his limbs and threatening to encompass his entire body. Not knowing what else to do, Cole focused on Vertex’s last words and tapped into the love stored in his reserves. Gently prying Vertex’s mouth open with a hoof, he began transferring his own love energy into him. The effect was instant. The holes in Vertex’s body stopped oozing blood, and the cracks along his chitin ceased their spread, beginning to mend as Cole poured more love into him. Vertex’s eyes flared back to life, their usual vibrant glow returning, while his wilted wings straightened, regaining their strength. Cole suddenly felt a pair of hooves grip his own tightly. His eyes widened in shock as Vertex desperately drank in as much love as he could before finally closing his mouth and letting out a weak groan. “V-Vertex? Are you okay?” Cole asked as he continued to cradle Vertex in his hooves. Vertex didn’t respond, and Cole’s anxiety returned tenfold when he saw his cheeks puffing up. What was happening now!? Did Cole feed him too much love!? Was he gonna throw up or something!? BUUUURRRRRP! Cole froze, the sound of Vertex’s burp reverberating and lingering for a good moment. Once it went quiet again, Cole looked down to see Vertex weakly curled up against his chest and struggling to keep his eyes open. “Vertex?” Cole quietly called with a small shake. Vertex jolted, his eyes flying open momentarily before tiredly flickering shut again. “Five… More… Minutes…” Vertex muttered before passing out in Cole’s hooves. Cole stared dumbfounded at the now sleeping changeling, his racing heart coming to a slow and steady rhythm as he slowly calmed down. Clutching Vertex tightly to his body, Cole collapsed on his side again, the cold sand lulling him into a deep sleep. Rough, and cold. That’s what Cole felt when he woke up from his deep slumber. Slowly fluttering his eyes open, Cole was shocked to see that he was in some kind of prison cell. The cell was small, barely five feet wide or long. Cole was lying on a makeshift bed, the thin blanket that was draped over his body doing nothing to ward off the cold. Above Cole was a small clump of cyan slime which illuminated the cell enough for Cole to see somewhat okay. Sitting up, Cole saw that there were many cyan-enchanted prison bars where the entrance to the cell should’ve been. There was a door, though it had a comically large lock on it, and he didn’t have the key. Cole collapsed back into his poorly crafted bed with a defeated sigh. Seraphyx had caught them, and the thing he felt attached to his horn must’ve been another magic inhibitor. Testing his horn out, Cole was unsurprised to see that it could barely form even a dim glow. “Fuck…” Cole mumbled. “Well, looks like I’m going to have to try and convince Seraphyx to spare Vertex.” Vertex… Where was he…? Cole’s eight eyes widened suddenly, and he shot up from the bed in a panic. The realization that Vertex wasn’t with him sent a wave of anxiety through him, bringing a dangerous question to mind. Was Vertex already dead? Rushing up to the bars of his cell, Cole loudly shouted. “Vertex! Vertex, are you here!? Vertex!” Not hearing a response, Cole gritted his teeth and began to ram his body into the cyan-colored bars. Ignoring how painfully they electrocuted his body, leaving cracks and dark burns on his chitin. Cole continued to ram into them, hoping that they’d fall under his assault. “Freeze!” Freezing in place, Cole breathed heavily under the injuries his body sustained. With wild eyes, he looked to see where the voice came from. On the other side of the bars stood three changelings clad in armor and holding spears, but instead of the green or orange he was familiar with, these changelings had a cyan color scheme. “Back away from the bars!” the changeling in the middle barked at Cole, thrusting his spear in between the bars. Cole growled loudly, the animalistic sound that came from his throat making the changelings flinch back in surprise. “Where’s Vertex?” Cole said intimidatingly, glowering at the changeling. The changelings remained silent, taking a moment to recuperate themselves before pointing their spears at Cole again. “Get back from the bars!” the same changeling barked again. “Where is Vertex!?” Cole roared, his worry and anger beginning to cloud his thoughts, threatening to send him into a feral rage. The middle changeling suddenly thrust his spear at Cole. Seeing the attack coming, Cole sidestepped, caught the spear in his teeth, and whipped his head back. The changeling, yanked forward by the force, stumbled and slammed face-first into the enchanted bars. The changeling screamed as the electrified bars sent jolts through his body for several agonizing seconds. His squadmates reacted swiftly, however, firing small magical beams from their horns. The attacks struck Cole, forcing him to release the spear from his teeth with a pained cry, and they quickly recovered their injured squadmate and brought him away from the bars. Quickly recovering from the attacks, Cole approached the bars with a loud chitter, staring hatefully at the other two changelings checking to see if their squadmate was alive. Suddenly, the sound of multiple hoofsteps echoing through the cell block reached Cole’s ears, and he turned his head to the right to see who was coming. “What in Tartarus is going on down here?” a deep, female voice questioned. Instantly, the two changelings tending to their incapacitated squadmate bowed deeply, carefully as not to drop him. Then, the source of the voice came into view, stopping in front of Cole on the other side of his cell bars. It was a large changeling Queen, noticeably larger than Chrysalis and Seraphyx before her, and almost as big as Cole too. Her thick, light-blue mane cascaded over her right eye with the rest being draped down her neck and reaching her turquoise carapace. Her eyes were a magnificent cerulean color that shone through the dimly lit cell block, vaguely reminding Cole of the sea. Unlike Seraphyx, this Queen had no fangs, and her horn, much like Chrysalis’, was jagged and missing chunks. Her body was stockier, much like Cole’s, likely due to the added weight of her size. Numerous holes dotted her legs and mane, but surprisingly, she had only two large, translucent wings instead of four like Cole. Both wings were also riddled with holes. Finally, she had a hole-ridden, long, light-blue tail that dragged across the floor at its ends, and a crown with a singular, large cerulean bead. “Well, well, look who finally decided to wake up,” she said with a playful smile. “Where’s Vertex?” Cole demanded, his eight eyes narrowed and his stinger twitching in anticipation. “Oh, my. You’re not even going to introduce yourself? Did anyone ever teach you manners?” the Queen mocked in a domineering tone. Cole sneered, “My name’s Cole,” he said gruffly. The Queen tilted her head in amusement. “Coal? Heh, I guess no one was there to teach you manners if you named yourself after a rock.” Cole glared daggers at the Queen, his pupils shrinking into slits as his frustration peaked. “Where. Is. Vertex?” The Queen frowned at Cole, her visible eye staring at him with judgment. She sighed before turning her head toward someone outside Cole’s line of sight. “Bring him over.” The sound of rattling chains reached his ears, and his eyes widened in relief as Vertex was pushed in front of the bars. However, that relief quickly faded when he took in Vertex’s appearance. Heavy iron chains bound his fetlocks, leading up to a tightly secured muzzle. His wings were forced into an uncomfortable angle by metal bars strapped to his barrel, and a magical inhibitor was firmly fastened to his horn. Both their eyes met, and Cole’s heart broke when he saw and felt the fear in Vertex’s eyes. “There he is. Perfectly fine without a single scratch on him. Now, how about we have a civilized conversation, hm?” she said before sitting on her haunches behind Vertex and holding him in her hooves. Vertex flinched at her touch. The way she gently stroked his head made him feel more terrified than comforted. “H-Help…” he whimpered to Cole through the Hivemind. “I will, Vertex, I will. Just hang in there, okay?” Cole replied. "Now," the Queen began, "you've introduced yourself, so let me do the same. I am Queen Aurora, leader of this Hive and all my subjects. Now that we have that out of the way, let's start with a simple question—just what in Cerberus’ name were you doing following that river?" “...Running away,” Cole answered. “Running away? From Seraphyx? Hah! To think how angry she’ll be if she ever finds out I captured you,” Aurora said with a giggle. “How did Vertex and I get here? Did some of your changelings lug us all the way to your Hive or something?” “They mostly safely dragged you both down the river, but yes, they did. You’re lucky you were pretty close to the valley my Hive is in, otherwise, I would’ve just ordered them to let you rot.” Cole frowned, severely doubting she would have done that. Maybe to Vertex, but she likely would have found a way to transport him safely. If what Chrysalis and Seraphyx had told him was true, he was the first King ever, and that also, unfortunately, made him quite the catch. “What are you going to do with us?” Cole questioned. Aurora hummed and put on an exaggerated expression of contemplation. “Hmm, what should I do with you? I’ve never seen a King changeling before…” “Let me guess,” Cole drawled. “You want me to join your Hive?” Aurora gasped, squishing her cheeks in faux shock, “That’s exactly what I was just thinking about! How did you ever figure that out?” she asked, tilting her head. “It wasn’t very hard to put the pieces together.” “I suppose it wasn’t,” Aurora said with a shrug. “So, what do you say?” “...Will Vertex be okay?” Aurora nodded, “As long as it means having your cooperation, then I’ll keep him alive. Though, of course, this also means that he’d have to join the Hivemind as well.” “What if he doesn’t want to?” “Then I separate his head from his body.” Vertex let out a muffled cry, turning around and shaking his head fearfully at Aurora’s cold and casual declaration. “What? You don’t want to join the Hivemind?” she asked, her horn gaining a cyan aura. “Hey, hey! Wait a minute!” Cole shouted, worried for Vertex’s safety. Vertex screamed, nodding desperately as tears began flowing from his eyes. “You will?” Aurora asked. Vertex nodded again, “Mhm! Mhm!” Aurora looked back up to Cole, “Problem solved!” she said with a grin. Cole felt like his heart was about to burst through his chest, “You’re fucking sick in the head,” he spat. “It’s how I work,” Aurora replied, unbothered by the insult. “I’ll ask again, what do you say? Do you want to join or do I-” “Yes! Yes! I’ll join your fucking Hive, just leave Vertex alone!” Cole shouted. “Good!” Aurora cheered with a little clap of her hooves. “Now, before I let you out, why don’t you turn around and show me that stinger of yours.” Accepting what was coming, Cole sighed before turning around and raising his stinger for Aurora to see. Cole heard an intake of air, followed by a spitting sound before he suddenly felt something attach to his abdomen. Looking back at his stinger, Cole saw a hardening clump of cyan slime covering it. “Alright, let’s get you out of there.” Cole followed behind an increasingly aroused Aurora, her tail flagged upward and shamelessly exposing her succulent folds. Cole stared forward with his newly changed cerulean eyes, already used to this song and dance that he found himself in. Entering her private chambers and shutting the door behind them, Cole approached the large bed where Aurora so happily put herself up on display, resting her forehooves on the bed while her hind legs stayed standing on the floor. Her folds gushed a nice stream of her juices and winked in a slow, steady rhythm. Turning her head back to Cole, she gave him a sultry smile, “Come on now, I’m ready whenever you are~” Feeling his partner beginning to poke out of its sheath from the lewd display, Cole approached Aurora’s delicious backside. With a lick of his lips, Cole bent his head downward and began to drag his tongue along her folds and tight little asshole. Aurora’s breath hitched and she let out a small moan, “Oh~ I didn’t know you were one for f-foreplay~” Cole hummed, enjoying the salty and tacky taste of her juices. Cole then pushed his tongue inside her pussy and began swirling it inside her, making Aurora moan in delight. Pulling his tongue back, Cole gave her exposed clit some hard licks, making her shiver, before pulling back entirely. Rearing back on his hind legs, Cole mounted Aurora, his throbbing hard cock poking and teasing her folds. Aurora pushed her hips back into his cock, “Come on, big colt. Give it to me~” Cole obliged, slowly pushing his cock into her folds, stretching her out and making her groan loudly. Hilting himself inside of her, Cole gave Aurora a moment to get used to his size before pulling back to his tip and slamming himself back inside of her. Aurora moaned as Cole began to work himself into a slow rhythm, his hooves digging into her barrel and holding her tightly while his head pressed against her thick mane. Cole grunted and groaned as he drove his cock deep inside her god-like pussy, her many ridges and nubs caressed his cock, sending unending waves of pleasure through his body. Her velvety softness enveloped him in a warm mix of sucking and squeezing that left Cole wanting more. The dirty sounds of squelching coming from her pussy and her sweet moans drove him deeper into a lustful haze. But before Cole could lose himself to his lust, he pulled out completely from Aurora’s snug confines, fighting against the desperate sucking and squeezing of her insides that didn’t want to let him go. Aurora mewled in frustration, “What are you doing? Get back insi- AHH!” Aurora’s irritated sentence was cut short as Cole suddenly thrust his lubricated cock inside her tight ass, forcefully stretching her unused hole out and making her breathlessly groan and grunt from the unpleasant sensation. “Shit… so fucking tight!” Cole grunted as he shoved the rest of his cock inside of her, making her moan whorishly. Once fully inside her, Cole took another moment to let Aurora catch her breath and allow her body to acclimate to his beastly size. “I bet you weren’t expecting that, huh, sweetheart?” Cole purred in his best sexy-sounding voice. Pulling back, Cole fought against the intense squeezing of her ass before plowing his cock back inside her, making her yelp and mewl. Working his way through a slow rhythm, Cole began to pick up the pace as she got looser. Aurora began breathing rapidly, clutching her bedsheets tightly as Cole ravaged her inexperienced ass and made her cum buckets. “Fucking slut. You love this don’t you?” Cole grunted, roughly smacking her ass. Aurora yelped, “Yes! B-Buck yes!” she screamed into the air. “Do you want me to cum in you? To fill your ass up till your gushing with my cum?” “YES!” Aurora howled through an endless stream of moans. Cole growled, feeling himself reaching climax, “Then take it!” Cole shouted before driving his cock as deep as it could go. Both of them moaned in unison as Cole reached his orgasm. Aurora’s insides squeezed tighter than before, forcing every drop of seed from his cock and making him tremble all the way down to his hooves. Aurora moaned as she felt his creamy seed fill her ass, making her feel a sensation of fullness. Reaching the last spurts of his orgasm, Cole let out a deep breath before pulling out of her, his cock softening and retreating into its sheath. He smiled to himself, maybe that would satisfy her for now. He wasn’t looking forward to having to breed yet another clutch of eggs that he probably won’t see hatch. Unfortunately, Aurora wasn’t satisfied. Calling on her magic, Aurora enveloped Cole in a cyan aura and levitated him over the bed before releasing him on his back. Climbing on top of the bed, Aurora crawled over Cole and laid on top of him, taking a moment to smell his musky pheromones. Aurora released her breath shakily before gazing into Cole's eyes. “To think that brat had you all to herself all this time. Never again. There won't ever be a moment where I let you out of my sight,” she said, lovingly caressing Cole's cheek. Cole shuddered at the implications, hoping that she wasn't serious and that it was just an exaggeration. Aurora didn't let him dwell on it, as she crawled back in between his hind legs, wrapped her hooves around his sheath, and began coaxing his cock out with her tongue. Cole moaned sensually, feeling the blood pump back to his cock to make it hard again. Aurora giggled as she watched his horsemeat slowly expose itself once more, and she wrapped her long tongue around him and began giving him long, slow strokes while she engulfed his tip in her mouth. She swirled, sucked, and squeezed him with her wet mouth, coating him in a viscous layer of saliva and leaving him wanting more. Acting impulsively, Cole brought a hoof to her head and began bobbing her head up and down. Aurora hummed delightfully, the vibration forcing a moan from Cole's throat. Using her magic, Aurora began to play with his balls, stretching and gently squeezing the heavy baby-makers. “Fuck… Keep going…” Cole muttered breathlessly. Aurora grinned before facefucking herself on him, bobbing her head up and down at a relentless pace, adoring the feeling of his cock traveling down her throat over and over again. Cole's cock began to throb inside her mouth, and Aurora felt her heart race in anticipation. With a loud moan and a tight clutch of the bedsheets, Cole exploded like a fire hydrant. Aurora's eyes widened at the sweet taste of his cum, and she tightened her mouth around him, swallowing as much as she could, and ensuring that not a single drop went to waste. Feeling his muscles relax, Cole took in many deep breaths as his second orgasm ended. Aurora pulled back and released Cole’s softening cock, savoring the taste of his cum before swallowing the last bits she had in her mouth. Staring directly into Cole’s eyes, Aurora opened her mouth and exposed her tongue, showing him that not a single sticky strand of his seed remained. “You were delicious,” Aurora said, licking her lips. Aurora smirked as she moved to straddle Cole. Sitting down on his lower body, she began to grind against Cole’s flaccid cock, her heart skipping a beat as she felt it start getting hard again. Cole brought his hooves up to her juicy thighs and began rubbing them slowly, feeling the strong muscles hiding under her chitinous exterior. He groaned; if Seraphyx didn’t shatter his pelvis, Aurora sure as hell will. “I think it’s time for the main event, don’t you~?” Aurora said. Cole nodded, squeezing her thighs, “Show me what that pussy can do,” he said with a smirk. Aurora grinned and raised her hips, aimed his cock at her entrance, and slammed herself down. Both of them moaned loudly in unison, though Cole’s was more of pain than pleasure. Feeling her whole body tremble with pleasure, Aurora placed her two forehooves on top of Cole’s chest before mercilessly riding him into the bed. Her moans echoed throughout the chamber, rising an octave anytime Cole’s tip rammed into her g-spot. Her pussy shuddered and squeezed around his cock erratically, overloaded with the divine pleasure she was feeling. Aurora smiled drunkenly, her mind trapped in the moment, never wanting it to end. Cole let out heavy grunts with each of Aurora’s plows into his pelvis, the pain and pleasure washing over him at the same time and confusing his brain. His hooves had moved up to her hips, holding them tightly. Her whorish moans flooded his ears bringing a grin to his face, at least she seemed to be enjoying herself. Getting an idea, Cole began to time her descents onto his cock; and right as she was about to lift herself up again, he suddenly thrust his hips upward, wrapped his arms around her barrel, and flipped her onto her back. Aurora let out a surprised cry when she was flipped over, and she held Cole closely once he was on top of her. Both of them stopped and took a moment to gaze into each other’s eyes, captivated by the other’s features. Slowly, both began to lean forward, and their lips met with fiery desire. The soft smacking of lips could be heard through their heavy breathing. Both changelings felt their hearts race and their bodies heat up as the instinct to breed began to well up in their minds. Breaking away from the kiss, Cole rested his forehead against hers, tilting his head slightly so as to be mindful of their horns. “I’m going to pump you full of eggs,” he said, his breath hot and heavy. Aurora’s breath hitched and she held Cole tighter, “Please…” she murmured, her walls coiling around him. Cole moaned softly before placing his forehooves on either side of her head, trying to get comfortable in his missionary position. It was a bit awkward due to his quadrupled anatomy, but he made it work. Feeling another squeeze around his cock, Cole moaned and began to thrust forward, finding a steady rhythm. Aurora shuddered once Cole began moving again, and she reciprocated his care by gently rubbing his large neck fin. Cole let out a chirp, enjoying the sensation. The two were quickly lost in the throes of their passion. Every other thought vanished and their worries were scattered to the wind as they focused on this singular moment. Cole groaned as he felt the oh-so-familiar feeling of tightness in his cock, and he increased his pace, chasing after his orgasm. Aurora let out shallow breaths, anticipating the upcoming wave of his seed that was soon to flood her womb. Locking her legs around him, Aurora loudly moaned. “Inside! Please!” Cole grunted, his pleasure reaching its peak, and with a drawn-out moan, he came. Both of them cried loudly as a wave of pure euphoria crashed through them. Cole's seed flooded Aurora's womb, painting it white and guaranteeing her pregnancy as his little swimmers immediately found the nearest eggs to fertilize. Reaching the end of his orgasm, Cole gently laid himself down on top of Aurora and caught his breath. Feeling a spike of lust coming from Aurora, Cole squeaked as he felt her press her lips against his once more. Oh yeah, they were definitely going to be there for a while.

That’s how long Cole’s been living in this fucking forest. For six fucking months. Cole wished he could say that was the least of his problems, but he’d be lying if he did. Because on top of being stranded in this weird magic forest, he wasn’t even human anymore. He was a bizarre amalgamation of a horse and various creepy crawlies. His body was stocky, muscular, and coated in hard, pitch-black chitin, and a similarly dark carapace stretched across his back and stomach. Eight eyes adorned his face, each with slitted black pupils and glowing white sclera. Two of the eyes were positioned where you’d naturally expect them, with a smaller pair on the outer edges, granting him an enhanced peripheral view. The remaining four, also small, sat just above the first set, allowing him to take in his surroundings even while looking downward. A long, sharp-tipped horn protruded from his forehead, accompanied by a dark, spiked crown that was fused to the top of his head. His mouth was lined with razor-sharp teeth, and two prominent fangs jutted out even when his mouth was closed. Instead of a mane, he had a sleek neck fin that stretched down and ended at his carapace. Finally, four thin, wasp-like wings were attached to his back, and he had an intimidatingly large stinger attached to the end of his fuzzy abdomen. To say he was ugly would be the understatement of the century. He was downright hideous. And the worst part? He didn’t even remember how he got here. All he remembers is driving home from work one day, passing out while on the road, and waking up stranded in this forest. The first couple of weeks were terrifying, to say the least. On top of having no discernable way home and being stuck inside a monster's body, the forest was filled with all sorts of creatures that were out to kill him. It's a literal miracle that he's survived this long. Sitting up inside the small cave he called home, Cole stretched his body out before fully standing up. Blinking his eight eyes one by one, he shook the sleepiness out of his body before stepping outside his dark cave. Shielding his eyes from the morning sun, Cole took a moment to let his eyes adjust before taking in his surroundings. His cave was nestled into the side of a large ravine, surrounded by a barren, rocky landscape. A raging river cut through the ravine, separating his side from the opposite bank. The ground was scattered with large rocks, pebbles, and the occasional boulder, while the only vegetation consisted of sparse plants sprouting from small crevices in the earth. Cole's stomach rumbled hungrily and he released a tired sigh. Time to find something to eat. Skulking through the thick brush with practiced ease, Cole stalked a small, unassuming adolescent black bear as it curiously peeked out of its den. He had been watching it for ten minutes now, and in that time, there had been no sign of its mother. He wanted to wait a few more minutes, but his stomach grew more and more unruly with each passing second. If it kept up, the noises it was making would undoubtedly reveal him and ruin his element of stealth. Cole knew he couldn’t pass up such a great opportunity, so with a nervous gulp, he opened his mouth and began to mimic the growls of a bear. It was a neat trick Cole managed to discover. He found that he could mimic the sounds and calls of nearly any animal he could think of. He stumbled upon this ability while stalking a flock of birds one day. He had simply wanted to whistle at them in a pathetic attempt to lure them over to him for a quick snack. But, to his surprise, instead of whistling, he began to produce realistic-sounding bird calls from deep within his gullet. Astonishingly, the birds were drawn toward him, allowing him to snatch one while the rest scattered in alarm. Ever since then, he's been using it to his advantage when hunting. The cub’s ears perked up at the sounds Cole was making, its head turning toward the thick bush he was hiding behind. As Cole continued to call it over, the cub, even more curious now, began to crawl out of its den. Cole grinned as he watched it excitedly approach him. He waited patiently for it to get closer and closer. Only once it was close enough to brush the bush with its snout did Cole pounce. With a hiss, Cole jumped out of the bush, surprising the cub, before clenching his sharp teeth around the cub's neck. The cub cried and thrashed loudly as Cole brought it down, a sinking feeling beginning to build up in his chest. If he doesn't finish this now, then he's going to have to deal with a very angry momma bear. Thinking quickly, Cole reared his abdomen back before stinging the cub multiple times. The neurotoxin acted quickly, and before long, the cub was paralyzed. As soon as its thrashing stopped, Cole flipped it on its back and swiftly tore its throat out, killing it. Sparing a glance around the area, Cole saw nothing amiss. Without wasting another second, Cole clenched his teeth around one of its legs and began dragging it away. By the time Cole felt he had safely dragged the cub's carcass a safe distance away, it was already mid-afternoon. His stomach was ravenous at this point, gurgling constantly and filling his body with aching pains. Coming to a stop, Cole cast a cautious look around the small clearing he was in before beginning his feast. At first, Cole didn't find eating skin, uncooked meat, nor animal guts all that appealing. Thus, he suffered for the first couple of days trying and failing to catch fish as a substitute. Only after he had grown too starved and desperate did he get his first taste of fresh meat. Surprisingly, he found himself enjoying it. It disgusted him how much he enjoyed it, but he got used to it. Cole assumed it had something to do with his new physiology, he did seem more carnivorous in nature now. Eventually, Cole ate enough to fill his stomach, and then some more. But no matter how much he ate, there would always be this particular aching in his stomach that wouldn't go away. He doesn't know what to do about it, it's been a constant feeling ever since he gained this new body. It wasn't killing him… yet. But he's pretty sure that as long as it doesn't get worse then he'll be fine. Stepping away from the half-eaten corpse with a sigh, Cole headed into the direction of a river he knew of to get a drink and perhaps relax for a while. “Oh, sweet Queen! Help meee!” someone suddenly screamed, their plea cut short by the thunderous roar of a lion. Cole froze as he listened to the person’s cries for help before turning and bolting in the direction the screams were coming from. Rushing through the forest’s thick brush, Cole followed the sounds of the person’s panicked screams before bursting through a wall of dense foliage into a clearing, his eyes locking onto the person who had been calling for help. To his surprise, it was another bug-horse like him—only smaller, missing a stinger, and riddled with holes across their body. They shrieked in terror, darting and weaving desperately to evade the relentless attacks of a manticore. Cole watched in shock as the manticore swiped its large paw and successfully managed to hit the small bug-horse, sending it tumbling to the ground with a large gash on its side. Something within Cole snapped at the sight of the small bug-horse being hurt. He felt a wave of rage surge through his body, igniting an instinctive and overwhelming need to protect the small bug-horse. With a fierce hiss, Cole’s pupils shrunk to slits, and he charged at the manticore. Lowering his head, Cole used his sharp-tipped horn to pierce the manticore in the side of its body, his horn driving deep and making the manticore roar with agonizing pain. Yanking his horn free from the manticore's side, Cole leaped back just in time to avoid its massive scorpion stinger, which struck the ground where he stood. The manticore let out an enraged roar, its fierce gaze locking onto Cole before it staggered backward, blood seeping endlessly from its gaping wound. With a final snarl of defiance, the manticore limped away, its fatal injury forcing a retreat. But Cole wasn’t done with it. Oh, no, no. It had dared to attack another of his kind, and for that, it would pay with its life. With a shriek, Cole leaped high in the air, his wings buzzing as they propelled him higher. The manticore yelped in surprise as it felt Cole land on its back. The yelp was quickly followed by yowls of pain once it felt Cole sting it multiple times with his sharp stinger. Cole grinned as he saw his stinger's neurotoxin take hold, rapidly paralyzing the manticore. The once-ferocious beast let out a pitiful mewl as it collapsed onto its side, muscles slack and unmoving, and its eyes staring blankly ahead. Without hesitation, Cole lunged forward, snarling as his teeth sank into the manticore’s throat. A strained wheeze escaped the creature before Cole tore its throat out in one swift motion, ending its life instantly. Cole stood over the lifeless manticore, his chest heaving with every heavy breath. Using his long, forked tongue, Cole slowly cleaned the manticore’s blood from his maw, the salty and tangy flavor bringing a pleased smirk to his face. With the threat gone, the primal instincts that had taken over faded and allowed his conscious side to take back the reins of his mind. His pupils dilated back to their normal size, and Cole shook his head as he processed what just happened. ‘Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever gone that feral before,’ Cole thought as he gently massaged his blood-covered and aching horn. Turning away from the dead manticore, Cole shifted his eyes to the now quivering bug-horse that was fearfully backed up against a tree. Once his eyes landed on it, it flinched back and covered its face with its hole-ridden hooves. “Please don’t hurt me!” it- she shouted fearfully. Cole’s eight eyes softened at the youthfulness of her voice, and he slowly approached her. For some strange reason that Cole couldn’t figure out, he felt the strongest urge to protect the young bug-horse and keep her safe from any type of harm. Coming to a stop in front of the bug-horse, Cole decided he would follow his instincts until he could bring this bug-horse back to her family. Leaning his head down, he spoke in the softest tone he could muster, “Are you alright?” The little bug-horse flinched before hesitantly peeking through one of the holes in her hooves, “Wh-What?” Cole offered a soft smile before bending his forelegs and lowering himself onto his stomach. “I was asking if you were alright,” he said gently, “I saw the manticore managed to hit you. Can I take a look at it?” The bug-horse lowered her hooves, her gaze fixed on Cole with a hint of confusion. Slowly, she exposed the side where she had been injured. Cole examined the small gash on her green carapace, letting out a quiet sigh of relief when he saw it wasn’t cut too deep. Though it was still bleeding slightly, the wound wasn’t as severe as he’d feared. Suddenly, another bout of instincts welled up within him, and Cole allowed it to guide him. A strange pressure built deep in his throat, and with some effort, Cole forced it up through his esophagus before spitting the substance out, carefully letting it land over the bug-horse's injury. Using a hoof, Cole began to gently smear the white, tar-like substance over her injury, making sure it was completely covered. Once he was done, the substance began to harden into a protective barrier that sealed the wound and protected it from any outside bacteria while it healed on its own. “There, that should do the trick,” Cole said, “Now, what’s your name, sweetheart?” The bug-horse’s cheeks grew a green color and she looked away bashfully, “B-Basal.” Cole smiled, “It’s nice to meet you, Basal. My name’s Cole.” Basal giggled, “Why are you named after a rock?” Cole chuckled softly. “No, my name isn’t spelled like the rock, ‘coal.’ It’s spelled C-o-l-e.” Basal frowned, furrowing her eyes in confusion at the foreign letters, “Huh?” “Nothing,” Cole said with a shake of his head. “Right now, I need to take you back to your parents, I’m sure they’re worried about you, wherever they are.” Basal nodded slowly, her confusion still evident on her face. While her Queen was technically her mother, she didn’t particularly like being called that. Speaking of royalty, Basal only now noticed the spiked crown perched atop Cole’s head. Her eyes widened at the sight. She had always believed that only Queen changelings existed. Her Queen had never mentioned the possibility of a King changeling before, and Basal knew that none of the other Hive Queens had one either—if they did, her Queen would most certainly be scheming to steal them away. Or maybe just kill them. Getting up to her hooves, Basal voiced her thoughts, “Um, are you a part of any Hive, Your Highness?” Cole furrowed his brows at the strange question, “No, I can’t say that I am. And just call me Cole, the crown’s just decoration. I can’t take it off, even if I wanted to.” Basal’s eyes widened in excitement. Cole isn’t a part of a Hive, and if that’s true then Basal could bring him back to her Queen and she would reward her handsomely! And, considering the lack of holes present on Cole, he was absolutely thriving with love he could share with the Hive! Yes! It was perfect! Concealing her excitement, Basal gave Cole a pleading look. “I’m sorry, Mr. Coal, but... do you think you could walk me home? I’d feel safer if you did.” Cole nodded with a gentle smile, “Yeah, just lead the way.” ‘Jesus, how fucking far is this place!?’ Cole thought, his frustration mounting as he trudged behind Basal. His hooves and legs ached from the seemingly endless distance they had traveled. Day had turned to night, and they had walked so far that the forest was now a distant memory. Instead, they found themselves traversing a desolate wasteland, its barren expanse stretching endlessly before them. Cole sighed as he ruminated on his impulsive decision to follow Basal, instincts be damned. “Look, there it is!” Basal said, pointing a hoof in front of her. Following her hoof, Cole’s eyes locked onto a massive structure in the distance. His jaw dropped as he took in its imposing details. The structure vaguely resembled a castle, its countless spires clawed at the sky and its rocky, gnarled shape exuded an air of intimidation. Numerous gaping holes dotted its surface. From the holes, Cole could see an eerie green glow emanating out, painting the entrances with an eerie aura. “That's where you live?” Cole asked incredulously as he glanced down at Basal. “Yup,” Basal said with a nod. “Come on, I'm sure my Queen would be happy to see you and let you join the Hive!” “Woah, hold on a second! Just because I'm not a part of a ‘Hive’ doesn't mean I want to join one! Plus, I don't think I'd be all that useful,” Cole said, his nervousness mounting. “That’s okay! I'm sure my Queen or someling else will help you out.” Cole briefly glanced at the empty wasteland behind him and thought about the odds of getting hopelessly lost trying to find his way back to his cave. He decided that his odds were pretty shitty, and so, with a gulp, he turned back to Basal and reluctantly followed her toward the Hive. As they approached the entrance, Cole's eyes wandered to the bug-horses stationed at the many entry points. They were noticeably larger than Basal, likely a sign of their older age. Clad in tough-looking blue armor and helmets, they exuded an intimidating presence as they stood as still as statues. And despite their pupil-less eyes, Cole could feel the weight of their suspicious stares following his every step as he passed them and entered the Hive. The moment Cole entered, every single bug-horse inside had stopped whatever they were doing and stared at him. Their glowing blue eyes dug under his chitin and made him shiver with the numerous glowing green orbs clinging to the Hive walls only adding to the unnerving atmosphere. Sweat began to bead down Cole's forehead, trickling down his face as his eight eyes darted nervously across the sprawling Hive. He scanned every corner, every shadow, on high alert for any sign of being snuck up on or ambushed. Why were they all just staring!? Surely, Cole wasn’t that interesting. Cole’s unease only deepened when he noticed that the pair of guards at the entrance had started tailing him and Basal. Their narrowed eyes, filled with barely concealed distrust, felt like they were boring holes into the back of his head with every step. Eventually, after descending through multiple chambers in the Hive, Cole and Basal came to a stop in front of two massive doors that were guarded by another pair of guards. Said guards had scowls on their faces as they stared at Cole. Basal stepped forward, a bright smile on her face, “We’re here to see the Queen!” The two guards remained silent, their angry expressions intimidating you a bit. Then, without a word, their horns ignited with a bright green glow, and the massive doors responded in kind, enveloped by the same shimmering green aura. The doors slowly opened and Cole was forced inside the room by the guards behind him. “Hey, what’s the big deal? I can walk by myself!” Cole snapped at the guards. “Be quiet,” one of the guards coldly said before roughly hitting Cole over the head. Cole glared at the guard, his scowl deepening as he rubbed the sore spot where he'd been struck. His eight eyes darted warily to the four guards now flanking him, their stances firm and leaving no room for escape without a fight. Shifting his gaze away from them, Cole’s attention fell on the imposing, gnarled and holed throne dominating the center of the room. More specifically, the creature that sat on it. ‘She must be the Queen,’ Cole thought as he watched the tall, lithe, and regal bug-horse levitate a stone slab in front of her, her horn pulsing with a bright green glow as she lazily lay across the entire throne. Cole spared a brief glance at his own horn, wondering if he would be able to do that as well. The Queen’s gaze shifted to Cole, and the moment their eyes met, his body locked up and froze in place. Her two glowing green eyes, with cat-like slitted pupils, bore into him, dissecting him piece by piece with an unsettling intensity. Cole felt a part of himself rage as the Queen continued to unblinkingly stare him down, challenging his dominance. The instinctive urge to attack caught Cole off guard, forcing him to dig his hooves into the rocky ground to keep himself from baring his sharp teeth and hissing at her. No matter how much he wanted to, he found himself unable to look away. His instincts locked him in place, unwilling to back down from the Queen’s unyielding gaze. Thankfully, she looked away first, and with a hum, the Queen floated the stone slab in her telekinetic grip over to a bug-horse who had been dutifully sitting next to the throne. “Deliver this to my chambers,” she said calmly. The bug-horse gave a sharp nod, “Of course, my Queen.” Bowing deeply, they wrapped the slab in their own glowing green aura, lifting it effortlessly into their grasp. As the bug-horse departed with the slab in tow, the Queen's piercing green eyes slid toward the guards flanking Cole. “Leave us,” she ordered firmly. All four guards' eyes widened at the command, their expressions laced with worry for their Queen. “My Queen, are you sure?” one of the guards asked hesitantly, glancing at Cole. “...I’m going to pretend like you didn’t ask me that.” The guard who had spoken up chittered fearfully before bowing deeply, the other three guards being quick to follow. “A-Apologies, my Queen. We shall leave at once,” the guard said, his voice ridden with terror. Rising from their deep bows, the four guards were quick to leave the throne room, their wings buzzing anxiously. The Queen's gaze shifted, her piercing eyes sliding past Cole to rest on Basal. “You too, Basal. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re rewarded for bringing such a fine specimen to me,” she purred with a smirk on her face. Basal gasped and bowed even deeper than the guards had, her forehead touching the floor, “Thank you, my Queen! I’ll make sure your reward won’t go to waste!” “Good girl~ Now, run along,” the Queen said sweetly with a lazy shooing gesture. Rising from her bow, Basal turned on her heels and exited the throne room, not even giving Cole so much as a second glance as the large double doors shut behind her in a green hue. Turning back to the Queen, Cole audibly gulped as he realized the dangerous situation he found himself in. ‘I’m so fucking dead,’ he hopelessly thought. Chrysalis’ mind buzzed with a whirlwind of questions as she descended from her anti-magic throne to the male changeling’s level. Basal had given her a brief rundown of this “Coal” once she was close enough to communicate through the Hivemind. At first, Chrysalis didn’t believe her, but out of sheer boredom, Chrysalis decided to humor Basal. After all, even if Basal had stupidly led a rival Hive member into her domain, Chrysalis would relish the chance to personally deal with the intruder. Touching the ground gracefully, Chrysalis began circling the increasingly uneasy changeling like a predator sizing up its prey. Her sharp, calculating gaze meticulously analyzed every inch of him, noting every anomaly and peculiar detail. The first, and perhaps most striking, was the complete absence of the characteristic holes that marred the bodies of her and her changelings. This discovery made her eyes widen, and her tongue flicked across her lips as drool pooled in her mouth. Such perfection could only mean one thing: the love he hoarded within must be monumental—an irresistible prize for any changeling, let alone a Queen such as herself. Her attention was then drawn to the fuzzy stinger attached to his rear, twitching faintly as if in anticipation of use. Basal had informed her of its lethality, mentioning how it had paralyzed a full-grown manticore in mere seconds. Chrysalis narrowed her eyes at the appendage, mentally noting the need to avoid it if this changeling decided to become less than cooperative. As she continued her slow, deliberate circling, she caught the faintest flicker of something in his posture—an instinctual unease, perhaps, or suppressed aggression. Her grin widened, fangs glinting in the eerie green glow of the chamber. She had seen the same reaction when she first made eye contact with him. ‘This one is going to be very interesting to break,’ she thought. “So, uh, are you going to say anything or are you just going to keep sizing me up?” Cole asked anxiously. Chrysalis paused mid-step, her piercing green eyes locking onto his. A sly smirk spread across her face. “Oh, forgive me. I was simply admiring your rather… fetching features,” she said, her voice dripping with mock sweetness. “Uh-huh…” Cole muttered, taking a small step back. Stepping in front of him, Chrysalis smirked as she began to subtly release pheromones from her body. While she could easily overwhelm him with her scent, Chrysalis instead chose to draw things out to see what kind of information she could get out of him. “So, Coal, tell me. Do you really not belong to a Hive, or at least have one of your own?” Cole’s eyes widened and he took another step back, “How do you know my-” Cole’s nose flared as they caught a new, sweet smell in the air, the suddenness of it catching him off guard. “What’s that smell?” he asked while giving the air some more experimental sniffs. Chrysalis fought the urge to grin widely and continued, “Trying to deflect my question?” she pressured. “Wh-What? N-No, I… I don’t have a Hive,” Cole said, his breaths heavy and his face growing hot. “And how old are you, Coal? I’ve lived for thousands of years, but not once have I ever encountered a… special changeling such as yourself.” “I’m… fuck… I’m twenty… twenty-one…” he said, his hooves beginning to tremble. Chrysalis's eyes widened at the revelation. Twenty-one? Only twenty-one years of age? It seemed utterly unbelievable—yet, at the same time, it made perfect sense. He lacked any sort of colorful characteristics that distinguished him from any Hive, simply being entirely black. It would be difficult for him to find a Hive, let alone start one. So had he been living by himself for his entire life? While she couldn’t discern why a changeling like him had been abandoned as an egg or possibly exiled from his Hive of origin, one thing was certain: the opportunity standing before her was nothing short of divine. At such a young age, he hasn’t even reached his prime yet. Chrysalis could mold and cultivate him to be quite the formidable foe. And that’s not to mention just how fertile he must be. Why, with just him alone, Chrysalis is sure that she could sire thousands of changelings—Possibly even tens of thousands. Suddenly, the chamber was filled with low moans and strained whines. Pulled from her thoughts, Chrysalis glanced back at Cole and saw him struggling to remain standing, his arousal making itself very known. Chrysalis gasped, raising a hoof to her mouth as her expression shifted into one of exaggerated shock. “Oh, my~! I hope I didn't do that,” she said, staring shamelessly at his well-endowed member. “Wh… What's happening… to me..?” Cole moaned before collapsing onto his side, his cock twitching and throbbing needily as it leaked globs of precum. While Chrysalis was a bit surprised by how quickly her pheromones had affected him, it was to be expected. She could quite possibly be the first Queen he had ever interacted with, and she was going to take full advantage of that. “You have nothing to worry about, Coaly~” Chrysalis cooed. “It’s just your body’s natural reaction to my pheromones. Though I must say, I am a bit surprised by how fast you succumbed to me. Am I your first?” she innocently asked. Cole shivered under her hungry gaze. "Yes..." he mumbled, his mind growing foggy. Chrysalis grinned at his response before leaning in close to his ear, “Tell me, what is it you want to do with me?” she whispered, her breath hot and heavy. “Would you like me to suck you dry and turn you into a whimpering mess as you empty your balls down my throat? Or maybe you’d like to coat my face and body with your seed and mark me as yours? Mmm, maybe you’re a stallion who’d like to mount me and shove me into the floor as your ram your throbbing hard cock deep inside me.” Cole’s cock throbbed violently at the last statement and Chrysalis giggled, “Looks like I figured out which one you are~” she said before gently nibbling on his ear. Stepping away, Chrysalis circled him until she was standing in his direct line of sight. Slowly, Chrysalis began to arch her back and flag her tail upwards, exposing her most intimate area. Already she could feel her loins burn hotly in anticipation as she winked furiously, her juices gushing and making her incredibly wet. It was a sight that would make even the strongest stallions crumble. Turning her head back to Cole, she grinned at his shocked expression, “Come on, now. Don't be shy~” she said with a shake of her rear. Chrysalis had never seen a stallion scramble to his hooves so quickly. “Mmm, yes. Come to momma,” she hummed as she watched Cole approach. Hypnotized by the lewd display, Cole hastily approached Chrysalis like a horny teenager after his first kiss. High off of her pheromones and filled with all sorts of lustful thoughts, Cole didn’t hesitate to mount Chrysalis, practically jumping on her in his extremely horny mindset. Once on top of her, Cole began to hump her fervently before shoving his face into her neck and inhaling a large amount of her pheromones. He shivered as her scent filled his lungs, his already clouded mind growing even foggier under its effects. “Someling is eager,” Chrysalis chuckled. “But I’m afraid your cock has to go inside.” Using her magic, Chrysalis wrapped Cole’s cock in a viridian aura and redirected it to her snuggly warm loins. Thrusting herself backward, Chrysalis impaled herself on Cole. Cole whipped his head back and let out a loud moan, the wave of pleasure assaulting his body feeling nothing short of divine. Chrysalis groaned as she took him into her burning cavern, his cock forcefully stretching her out and sending a jolt of pleasure through her body with each throb of it inside her. By the gods, she had never felt so full before. She’d slept with larger stallions before, but even they couldn’t compare to the absolute euphoria that swept through her body at this very moment. It was as if Cole’s cock was made for her. Chrysalis then felt Cole pull back from her scorching depths before ramming his cock back into her. She moaned whorishly, her insides clinging onto him greedily as he continued to pull back and pound into her, the sounds of wet squelching and meaty slaps filling the air as Cole continued his rough fucking. Chrysalis reciprocated his efforts and timed his thrusts with her own, leaving them moving in unison. Cole increased his pace with a growl, the pleasure he was feeling quickly beginning to mount to its peak. “Yesss. Breed me you virile beast,” Chrysalis purred, her insides massaging and stroking his length with wanton greed, desperate to milk him for all he had. Like a switch being flipped, something suddenly shifted inside Cole, “Breed…” he whispered hotly, his pace slowing to a stop as he processed the word. “Why are you stopping? I didn't tell you to,” Chrysalis voiced her displeasure, continuing to thrust back into him. “Breed…” Cole whispered again, his instincts flaring at the utterance of the word. Chrysalis groaned in frustration, “I swear if you don't- Ah!” Chrysalis was cut off as Cole used a burst of magic to shove her front into the floor, her back being forced to arch from the awkward position, leaving her ass sticking up in the air. Releasing her from his magical grasp, Cole placed his two heavy forehooves on her back, preventing her from rising back up. Chrysalis mewled, not expecting such dominance from the previously timid changeling. Cole slowly brought his length back until only the tip remained inside. Then, without warning, he began furiously fucking her insides, the word “breed” chanting endlessly in his mind. If she wanted him to breed her, then by God, he was going to make sure her pregnancy was guaranteed. Chrysalis’ moans rose an octave at the merciless ravaging of her most delicate area. “Yes! Yes! Breed me! Make me your Queen!” she howled into the air. Cole grunted, his wings buzzing and his stinger twitching as he reached his peak. With a growl, he hilted himself deep inside her, his cockhead ramming against her cervix. Cole whipped his head back and moaned loudly, his eight eyes rolling to the back of his head as he experienced the most heavenly climax of his life. Chrysalis mewled and moaned under him as she climaxed in synchronization with him. Her body spasmed uncontrollably as she felt him fill her womb with thick jets of his seed. The intensity of it was unlike anything she'd ever felt before, and it left her as a mindless, blubbering mess who writhed under Cole's weight. Eventually, Cole's thick jets were reduced to weak spurts of his seed, and he collapsed on top of Chrysalis, his chest heaving and his body heavy with exhaustion. “Good Colt~ You'll make a perfect stud for me.” Was the last thing Cole heard before passing out on top of Chrysalis.

Point out any mistakes you see :) Golden Sands “Faster! Faster!” Chrysalis howled into the air, her body convulsing as another orgasm crashed through her. Cole gritted his teeth as he felt her walls coil tightly around him like an anaconda squeezing the air out of its prey. He let out a growl in response, his forehooves pushing her front deeper into the bed as he proceeded to jackhammer his cock into her, trading power for speed. “So… fucking tight…” Cole grunted with a pleasured moan. He felt like he was on cloud nine. He didn’t think It’d be this easy to turn Chrysalis into a cock-drunk whore. She'd always boasted about how easy it was to make him submit with the use of her pheromones, but the moment Cole figured out how to use his own, the tables were quickly turned and he was the one in control now. Slapping Chrysalis roughly across her rear, Cole relished in the heavenly sound that it forced from her throat. “Yeah, you like that, don’t you? I bet nobody else has been brave enough to slap your ass before.” Chrysalis responded with a long, drawn-out moan, unable to form a coherent response under his relentless assault. Cole smirked smugly before slowing down to an agonizingly slow pace, making Chrysalis whine and attempt to thrust back into him. Narrowing his eyes at her action, Cole ignited his horn, enveloping Chrysalis’ body in a green aura. With a simple spell, he paralyzed her, ensuring she couldn’t move anything except her head. Once satisfied with his work, Cole resumed his slow, deliberate fucking. “Your King asked you a question,” Cole growled into Chrysalis’ ear, emphasizing his words with another slap across her rear. Chrysalis yelped at the slight pain that flared from the hit, “Yes! I- I love it!” she squealed. Cole hummed as he continued to thrust into her slowly. Her scorching insides massaged his length, keeping it coated in a slick layer of her juices as she winked madly around him. Cole grinned before removing his hooves from her back, wrapping them around her sides, and holding her close. Then, he slowly leaned into the right side of her face. Chrysalis shuddered as she felt Cole’s entire body press against her back, his potent, musky pheromones overwhelming her senses with each breath she took. She gasped sharply as a long, forked tongue slid up the side of her neck. Its slick surface trailed across her sensitive chitin and swirled over her cheek, leaving a glistening layer of saliva in its wake. Cole sighed in delight as he retracted his tongue. “You love being my little cum dump, don't you?” he purred into her ear. Chrysalis’ breath hitched, and her cheeks grew a greener shade. “No…” she weakly protested. Cole rammed his cock into her, forcing a pleasured yelp from her throat. “Yes, you do. You love it when I pump and dump my cum inside you, right? You love the way I leave you leaking and wanting more, right? You say ‘no,’ but you always come back to me a couple of hours later for some more, right?” Cole whispered, emphasizing each point with a hard thrust of his hips. Chrysalis mewled in reply. It was true! It was all true! Ever since she got him to fuck her in the throne room that first night, she couldn't get enough of him. She began feeling a constant need for his cock. First, it was every morning, then every afternoon, then every evening. And even then, she still wanted more. Cole gently nibbled her ear, making her shudder and moan. “You love being my little cum dump,” Cole stated factually, his voice heavy and hot. Chrysalis shook her head. “No…” she softly denied, though her thoughts and body betrayed her. Cole increased his pace slightly, intent on getting what he wanted to hear out of her. “Yes, you do. Say it.” Chrysalis stayed quiet, her only reply being a small whine. Cole frowned, a displeased look forming on his face. Slowly, Cole pulled his cock out from her snug depths, the tip coming free with a succulent pop. “Hmm, okay then. I guess you don't want me to rut you right now,” he said with an infectious grin, knowing fully well what was about to happen. Chrysalis’ eyes widened in a panic as a vast sense of emptiness engulfed her entire being, starting from her depths and quickly spreading to the rest of her body. It eclipsed even the hunger for love that's cursed her for so long. Her insides clenched around empty air, desperate to feel the god-like cock that was pleasuring her only a moment ago. Her pussy lips winked with wanton abandon, and a line of sweet nectar dripped freely from her now-empty snatch, forming a wet puddle below her. Forgetting that she was frozen in place, she tried to thrust back into his cock, only to not move an inch. Chrysalis whimpered in despair as the void within her deepened, her instincts crying out for her to submit to her King if only to feel his throbbing length once more. Desperate for his cock, Chrysalis gave in. “YES!" she screamed. “I love being your little cum dump! I love it when you breed me and fill me full of eggs to lay! I love your cock! I love-” “Good girl~” Chrysalis moaned whorishly as Cole roughly shoved his length back inside of her and began fucking her with renewed vigor. Her insides burned and spasmed as jolts of electrical pleasure shot through her spine with each thrust of his hips sending her deeper into depravity, her mind going blank and her tongue lolling out of her mouth in a slutty display. “Oh, gods! Buck me! Buck me! Fill my womb with your seed!” Cole groaned at the familiar pressure building up in his tip, and he buried his head into her seaweed-like mane. God, even in her state of mind she still knew how to push him over the edge. With a final grunt, Cole hilted himself inside of her, his cock pulsing as he reached his orgasm. Chrysalis howled and moaned as she felt Cole bottom out inside of her. His thick, fertile seed burst out of his cockhead and painted her womb white. Her body trembled as she reached orgasm soon after, her muscles tensing and squeezing around Cole, milking him for every last drop of his seed. Eventually, both royals’ euphoria died down and their muscles relaxed. Cole's cock went flaccid and slowly slipped out of Chrysalis’ snatch with a wet squelch, a mix of his cum and her juices leaking and spilling on the floor as a result. Cole caught his breath before getting up from Chrysalis’ back and dismounting her, his eyes resting on her dripping loins for a moment, admiring his work. Igniting his horn once more, he undid the spell that had Chrysalis locked in place. Unexpectedly, Chrysalis’ body flopped back, her front slipping off of the bed as she limply fell to the floor unconscious. Cole quickly caught her in his magic before setting her down. “Chrissy? You okay?” he asked as he gently pawed at her cheek with a hoof. Chrysalis didn't respond, but he saw her chest rising and falling, indicating that she was still breathing. Frankly, Cole was surprised. He managed to fuck her into unconsciousness, something that he was more prone to experiencing due to how intense she can be sometimes. Cole chuckled. “Now you'll be the one waking up confused and hurting all over,” he said, wrapping her body in his magical grip and gently placing her on the bed. Pulling the covers snugly over her, Cole smiled to himself before turning toward the chamber door. “Time to clean myself up.” Cole sighed contentedly as he submerged himself in the cool waters of the bathing chamber. The waters worked wonders, cleansing his chitin of all traces of his morning romp with Chrysalis. “Would you like any assistance, my King?” a voice behind him asked. Turning his head slightly to look behind him, Cole spotted his guide/assistant standing at the edge of the hot spring, holding a bar of soap and a worn wooden brush in his magic. There was nothing particularly distinguishing about him—he looked much like every other changeling in the Hive: same height, same number of holes. The only way Cole could confidently identify him was through the Hivemind which sucked a bit. Cole smiled warmly at him, “No, thank you, Elytra. But, I appreciate the offer.” Elytra smiled as well, pleased by the warm emotions his King was directing toward him. “Of course, my King. I’ll always be there to help!” Elytra chirped, setting down the brush and soap with a cheerful demeanor. Cole nodded in acknowledgment before turning back to the hot spring and wading toward the deeper end. He stopped only once the water rose to his neck, leaving his head and neck the only parts of him not submerged in the crystal-clear pool. Retracting his stinger and settling back on his haunches, Cole closed his eyes and took a deep, calming breath before exhaling it in a slow, steady stream. It had been an eventful month for Cole since the night he first arrived at the Hive and unexpectedly mated with Chrysalis. Being crowned King of Chrysalis’ Hive the very next day, Cole suddenly found himself joining the Hivemind and having a lecherous amount of responsibilities dumped on top of him. Additionally, all the changelings in the Hive had a fanatical love for him now with him being King and all. The complete 180 from hostile to joyful at the sight of him was a bit of a strange change, but Cole got used to it. Cole’s physical appearance had undergone noticeable changes as well. His once glowing white eyes now radiated a toxic green hue, while his carapace had shifted to a striking blue-green shade, matching the altered color of his transparent four wings. Even his blood and the slime he spat out had transformed from a nearly transparent white to a dark green. Cole was certain that if his magic aura had been a different color before, it would now have adopted the same vivid green theme. Oh, and there was sex. Lots of sex. Almost every morning, Cole would wake up to Chrysalis fellating him under the covers before flooding his lungs full of her pheromones and fucking him senseless. He would later emerge from their now-shared chambers, dazed and confused, before Elytra and an escort of two guards swiftly guided him away to begin his daily tasks. It was... an interesting routine, but, like all things, Cole got used to it. He even came to look forward to it. During his first two weeks at the Hive, Cole’s schedule was packed with rigorous training: mastering the use of magic, detecting emotions in sentient beings, learning to use his wings properly, and building up his physical fitness, among other things. Those days left Cole unimaginably exhausted, dragging his hooves along the cave floor as he retreated to Chrysalis' chambers. But, even then, his day wouldn’t be over as Chrysalis would immediately jump him and force one last creampie out of him before allowing him to finally rest. Thankfully, after the first two weeks, things calmed down, allowing him a bit more time to rest. Instead of non-stop training, Cole was now assigned a schedule by Chrysalis herself, alternating days of training with rest and other tasks around the Hive such as learning how to create a chamber from a simple burrow in the wall. It was also during this time that Cole learned he was the legitimate father of two clutches of eggs, totaling about 38. Cole was shocked, flabbergasted, and utterly flummoxed by the unanticipated news. Him? A dad? It was inconceivable! At least, it was—until Chrysalis showed him the eggs in the nursery. He wanted to deny it, but the moment he laid his eyes on them, every fiber of his being told him they were his. He ended up staying in the nursery for about an hour, just watching and cooing at the eggs much to all the nurse's amusement. Apparently, his sperm might be supercharged, as the process of fertilizing and laying eggs—which would typically take Chrysalis three to four weeks—had been reduced to just one week. She hypothesized that the time it took for the eggs to hatch would also be significantly shortened, estimating it would take about three months instead of the usual five or sometimes six. Naturally, this also meant that she started demanding more sex from him, something he was starting to genuinely enjoy. Cole’s thoughts then drifted to his old human memories, and a wave of sadness washed over him. He was never going back home, was he? He would never get to see his family or friends again. He would never get to pursue any type of career. He would never get to live his life the way he wanted to. And it hurt so much. “Are you alright, my King? I sense that you are upset about something,” Elytra inquired with a worried look. Cole quickly wiped away the tears streaming down his cheeks, “Yeah, I- I'm fine. It's nothing you need to worry about.” Elytra opened his mouth to ask a question but quickly stopped himself. Though Cole appeared far more tolerant of his subjects than their Queen, that didn’t mean Elytra should overstep his boundaries. Cole was still his King, after all. “Of course, I apologize for intruding,” Elytra swiftly replied. Shaking his head with a sigh, Cole directed his gaze to Elytra. “What’s on today’s schedule?” he asked. "To begin, today is your weekly love donation to the Hive," Elytra explained. "After that, the Queen has scheduled a long study session for you, which includes reminders and some last-minute pointers regarding your first field assignment. You'll leave the Hive to gather love at the nearest pony settlement after the session later this evening." Cole felt a wave of dread wash over him at the announcement. This was the day he had been dreading. Leaving the safety of the Hive to hunt for food was one thing—but the fact that the "food" in question was a sapient creature made his stomach churn in disgust. Looking down at his right hoof, Cole noticed a small, insignificant hole forming in his fetlock. He had noticed it a couple of days ago, and it was his first sign that he, too, would likely be joining the Hive in appearance sooner rather than later. Believe it or not, love—the emotion itself—had become an essential part of his dietary requirements. It’s the reason why all the changelings here have so many holes in their bodies. They were starving. But the method of acquiring it left an awful taste in Cole’s mouth. To gather love, he would essentially have to kidnap someone and bring them back to the Hive where their love would be "harvested." Cole shuddered at the memory of the harvesting chamber. The sight of so many ponies, young and old alike, trapped in green cocoons and floating in place. Some were sleeping, their minds dulled by the effects of the cocoons, while others simply stared blankly, unreactive to anything he did in front of them. The emptiness in their eyes haunted him—nothing but hollow shells slowly being drained of every last bit of love they had in them before being discarded like worn-out toys. Ever since then, Cole had wondered: if he had stayed human and helped Basal that day, would he have been shoved into a cocoon as well? Sensing the sudden swirl of dread and fear emanating from his King, Elytra perked up, eager to reassure him. “Don’t worry, Your Highness! I’m sure you’ll do great!” he said cheerfully. “Joy…” Cole replied unenthusiastically. As the sun dipped below the horizon, casting its final rays of amber light, twinkling stars began to emerge in the darkening sky. Cole stepped out of one of the Hive’s entrances, flanked by Elytra and Chrysalis. The Queen, with her magic, levitated a beige saddlebag beside her. “Do I really have to do this?” Cole questioned, as Chrysalis secured the saddlebag to his body. “Oh, stop being such a grub,” Chrysalis hissed sharply. “How else do you expect to steal love from a pony if you can’t even act like one? You’ll blow your cover immediately.” “Not that,” Cole said. “It’s just, I don’t feel comfortable doing this. I mean, they’re thinking and breathing like us, right? Why are we targeting a bunch of innocent creatures?” Chrysalis took a deep breath and Cole winced at the rising anger emitting from her. But instead of yelling at him like he expected, Chrysalis spoke in a calm, but stern manner. “Cole, I know you have some… feelings about this task I’m assigning you. But you need to understand the sheer foolishness of your moral leanings. We are already starving as it is, and this Hive—our Hive—is home to hundreds of changelings struggling to survive. “If we were to simply stop hunting other creatures for love and rely solely on organic consumption, we would all perish. Not immediately, no, but it would be a slow, agonizing death. I don’t know how you managed to survive your entire life on your own without consuming even a drop of love, but it’s not sustainable here. “Is witnessing our two newly laid clutches of eggs dying before they even have the chance to reach maturity truly something you want to see?” Cole’s ears splayed against his head and he looked down with a guilty frown. Despite the contradictory behavior of struggling to survive yet wanting to birth more changelings, Chrysalis was right in a twisted way. Not only would they all die, but hunting for enough animals to feed hundreds in their current state was unfeasible no matter what methods they used. They’d all die, and it would all be Cole’s fault because he couldn’t adapt to his new life. “Fine, I’ll... I'll do it,” he reluctantly said. Cole felt a sense of relief emanate from Chrysalis before he felt a hoof gently lift his chin. Looking up in confusion, Cole froze as he felt Chrysalis press her lips against his and kiss him deeply. He remained as stiff as a board, his eyes wide as he stared into her emerald gaze. Chrysalis pulled away and Cole suddenly felt reinvigorated, like he could run a mile without stopping. “A little snack for the road,” Chrysalis said with a sultry smile and half-lidded eyes. Cole gaped like a fish, his eight eyes still wide and his cheeks blushing furiously. “Wha- I, uh- Buh?” he sputtered. Chrysalis giggled as she walked past him and stood by the Hive’s entrance, “Good luck!” Not knowing what else to do, Cole waved awkwardly before following Elytra to the settlement he was supposed to infiltrate. That wouldn’t be leaving his mind for a while. “Don’t keep me waiting~” Chrysalis sang to him through the Hivemind before projecting a rather salacious image of her pleasuring herself to Cole. Cole’s blush turned even greener. Now there were two things that wouldn’t be leaving his mind for a while. By the time Cole and Elytra reached the outskirts of the pony settlement, the sun had already risen to its morning position. The march across the Badlands, as it was called, had been unsurprisingly uneventful, leaving Cole with an increasing sense of boredom. But now, however, that boredom had transformed into curiosity as he watched ponies walking around the western-style town from a distant dune. “Well, there it is. The ponies call this town Appleloosa,” Elytra said before turning toward Cole. “Are you ready, Your Highness?” Cole nodded, retreating behind the dune. “Yeah, just give me a second.” Cole took a deep breath and closed his eyes, focusing on his horn. He could feel the appendage burn with energy as he concentrated on shifting his appearance. With a burst of green flames, Cole’s form transformed into a stocky, brown-coated unicorn stallion with hazel eyes, and a black mane and tail. “How do I look?” he asked. Looking him over, Elytra spotted a clear anomaly. “You forgot the Cutie Mark, Your Highness,” he said, pointing at Cole’s rear. “Oh, right.” Glancing at his rear, Cole ignited his horn again. With another burst of smaller green flames, a Cutie Mark appeared on both sides of his flank, depicting a vintage monocular and a rolled-up map. “Perfect,” Elytra said with a smile. “Now roll around in the sand.” “What?” Cole said, tilting his head in confusion. “If you're going to have the alias of a traveler, you got to look like one, Your Highness! And nothing says traveler more than a dirty and tired pony looking for a place to rest for a couple of days.” “Huh. I guess that makes sense.” Carefully lowering himself onto the sand, Cole began to roll around, working the grains deep into his fur, mane, and tail. When he was finished, he stood up and gave himself a shake, though much of the sand stubbornly clung to him. Elytra nodded approvingly, “Now, you're ready. Good luck, Your Highness, I'll see you back at the Hive in a couple of days.” Turning and leaving, Elytra left Cole to his own devices. Taking a deep breath, Cole walked over the dune and began making his way into town. As Cole entered the town, he was greeted by the sight of bustling streets filled with ponies dressed in stereotypical Wild West attire. Stetsons, vests, and ropes were worn everywhere; the only thing missing was their big irons. “Well, howdy there, mister! Can't say I've seen you ‘round here before!” Turning toward the southern-sounding voice, Cole came face-to-face with his first pony. It was an old earth stallion with a maroon coat and brown eyes. His mane and tail were a mix of grey and dark red, and perched on his head was a brown stetson adorned with a star that had the word “Sheriff” engraved on it. He wore a brown, cotton vest with a white undershirt, and on his flank was a Cutie Mark depicting a sheriff’s badge surrounded by a whip. “Say, what's your name, partner? My name's Sheriff Whip, but you could just call me Whipper.” “Uh, my name's Graphic Map, sir,” Cole said nervously. “Graphic Map? That's a nice name. We don't usually get that many unicorns around these parts. What's your story?” “J-Just traveling,” Cole stammered. “Trying to see the world, y'know? M-My parents always wanted to, but they never got the chance… so I’m doing it for them,” he added, letting faux sadness seep into his tone. Whipper's expression immediately softened, his face falling with regret. “Oh, sorry ‘bout that, son. Didn’t mean to dredge up any bad memories.” Cole shook his head, offering a faint smile. “No, it’s alright—you didn’t know,” he said softly. “But could you help me find an inn or someplace to stay? I’ve been traveling for a while and could really use a few days to rest.” Whipper nodded, “Yeah, just follow me.” Following Whipper, Cole felt his heart hammer in his chest, and beads of sweat roll down his face. He knew lying would be nerve-wracking but he didn't think it'd be this bad. It felt like one wrong move would instantly give him away. Approaching a large wooden building with multiple windows, Whipper led Cole inside and directly to the front desk. Behind it stood a magenta-coated earth mare, her mane partially tucked beneath—of course—a stetson. As her eyes lifted to meet Whipper's, they widened in surprise. “Whipper? Well, ain’t this a surprise! What brings you here? Did your wife kick you out again or somethin’?” she teased with a playful grin. Whipper let out a boisterous laugh, waving her off dismissively. “No, nothin’ like that. Just bringing a tourist around. He’ll be stayin’ in town for a couple of days. Goes by the name Graphic Map,” he said, gesturing toward Cole. “Hello,” Cole waved with a smile. Guitar waved back with a smile of her own, “Howdy, Graphic! It’s nice to meet ya. How long you gonna be staying, hun?” “A week, give or take.” Grabbing a pencil with her mouth, Guitar scribbled Cole's “name” down on a check-in list. “Alrighty, it's going to be 15 bits per night.” Before Cole could reach for the sack of stolen bits in his saddlebag, Whipper placed a hoof on his shoulder and shook his head. “Now, don’t you worry ‘bout that, son. I’ll cover your first two nights, no charge,” he said with sincerity. Cole was taken aback. “Wha- A-Are you sure about that, sir?” Whipper chuckled. “Yeah, I mean it.” He turned to Guitar. “Give him a room key, Guitar. I’ll be back with a sack o’ bits,” he said before turning and heading out. As the doors swung open and closed, Cole heard him call out, “And get yourself cleaned, son! You look like you came out of a sandstorm!” Cole gave himself a once over, noticing the egregious amount of sand still clinging to his body. “Huh. I guess I do.” Guitar chuckled before getting up from her chair, grabbing one of the keys from under her desk with her mouth, and holding it out to Cole. Using his magic, Cole took the key from her mouth in a green aura and glanced at the number tag attached to it. "That’s room 115,” Guitar said. “Just take the stairs down the hall, go up one floor, and you’ll find it," she said, smiling warmly. Cole nodded with a smile of his own. “Thank you,” he said before trotting off. “And the bathhouse is the next building over!” Guitar shouted. “Thanks, again!” Cole shouted back. And so, Cole embarked on his first mission to steal love for the Hive. The first two days proved to be unproductive. He spent the first day resting after taking a much-needed bath, while the second day was dedicated to scouting the town. During his observations, he carefully noted dark shadows, potential hiding places, and dead ends—just in case he found himself caught or chased. Apparently, ponies are entirely unaware of changelings or what they are. This ignorance makes it remarkably easy for a changeling to blend in with the local populace—provided they know what they’re doing. For Cole, this meant he shouldn’t face much trouble fitting in, as long as the ponies around him weren’t actively on the lookout for disguises. It wasn’t until the third day that Cole finally began his hunt for “prey.” Ugh, even thinking of that word left a vile taste in his mouth. Entering the town’s only bar, Cole was relieved to see it packed to the brim. Nearly every table was occupied by young mares and stallions dressed in Western attire. The air was thick with a cacophony of emotions—joy, sadness, anger, anxiety, and, most importantly, love. Though love was present in the air (literally), it was mostly emitted from couples sitting together at small tables, talking and gushing to each other with bright smiles on their faces. Approaching an empty table for two, Cole sat down and waited patiently for a waiter to come by. As he waited, Cole contemplated how he would go about stealing his “prey’s” love. He ruled out doing a casual hookup. According to Chrysalis, it didn’t allow him to steal an optimal amount of love. Cole had to find a mare that was interested in him and found him at least slightly attractive for this to work. Or he could try to find a stallion if he was brave enough… Ha! No way in hell is that happening. “Hello, mister! Welcome to the Apple Family Bar! What can I getcha?” Glancing to his left, Cole saw an amber-coated mare with a tophat and a handkerchief tied around her neck. “Hello to you too. What do you guys have?” “Well, we got beer, we got whisky, we got brandy, and we even got the ol’ classical Canterlot wine! But if you want somethin’ better than all of those, then I could get you some home-grown Apple Family apple cider!” “I think I’ll be the judge of that,” Cole said playfully. “I’ll take the apple cider.” The mare nodded before trotting off to the bar table to get his drink. Cole’s eyes lingered on her plush flank for a moment and he wondered how they'd feel being squished by his hooves. The sound of the chair in front of him scrapping against the floor caught his attention, and Cole turned his head in front of him to see who decided to sit with him. “Howdy! Hope you don’t mind me sittin’ with you. Place is pretty crowded today.” Cole could only stare in dumbfounded shock as a stunning mare sat before him, gazing at him with her beautiful orange eyes. She had a perfectly groomed yellow coat and a silky smooth black mane that hung freely around her shoulders. She donned a brown stetson, and around her neck was a checkered, red, and white neckerchief. Finally, on her delectable flanks was a Cutie Mark that depicted a rope tied into a lasso. “It’s nice to meet you! The name’s Tie Down. What’s yours?” “Uh… I- um… G-Graphic Map,” Cole replied, his cheeks blushing as he listened to her majestically melodic voice. “Well, I’ll say. I’ve never met a unicorn in person before! Where are you from, sugar?” Well, it's time to put his improv training to the test. “I’m from, uh, Canterlot.” Tie Down went bug-eyed, “Canterlot? Shoot! What’s a fancy and handsome stallion like yourself doin’ all the way down here?” “Oh, m-me? Just traveling!” Cole said with increasing nervousness. Tie Down giggled into her hoof, “Relax, Graphic. I don’t bite.” She then gave him half-lidded eyes and Cole felt a burst of lust fill the air around her. “Not unless you want me to~” Suddenly, Cole’s body felt like it was on fire, every fiber of his being hyperaware of her presence. His nostrils flared with each inhale of her sweet, intoxicating scent, and a familiar urge began to take hold of his mind, a relentless chant to breed echoing through him. “I-I- b- th- uh-” he sputtered, unable to form words. “Why don’t I give you a taste?” Tie Down leaned forward, her lips slightly parted, a hungry glint in her eyes that made Cole’s heart race. Without even realizing it, he found himself leaning in as well, his head tilting instinctively to meet hers. Their eyes locked in an unbroken gaze, the world around them fading into a hazy blur. Cole’s lips pursed, ready to share a deep, passionate kiss with her. But the moment was shattered as the waiter returned. “A glass of apple cider for you mister!” she said boisterously, placing the glass down on the table. Cole and Tie Down both jerked back into their seats, startled by the sudden and untimely return of the waiter. The awkwardness hit like a thunderclap, the tension that had been built dissolving into the air. The waiter paused, her eyes darting between the two of them—taking in the furious blush lighting up Cole’s face and the sharp, withering glare Tie Down was directing her way. The waiter chuckled nervously, “W-Was I interrupting somethin’?” Tie Down snorted. “Ahaa… I’ll come back later,” the waiter muttered before quickly leaving. Tie Down’s ears flicked in irritation before she directed her gaze back at Cole, a sweet smile forming on her lips once more. “So, you said you’re from Canterlot? How’s it like there?” Cole’s horn lit up with a soft green glow, and his glass of apple cider floated into the air, enveloped in the same shimmering aura. He brought it to his lips and took a long sip, the crisp sweetness calming his nerves and racing heart. “It’s… It’s great! There’s not many other places where you can see so many ponies at once.” Quickly overcoming their initial awkwardness, the two fell into an engaging conversation. During their long chat, Cole learned a great deal about Tie Down. She worked as a cattle wrangler, spending most of her time on her family’s farm herding cattle, milking them, cleaning up after them, and ensuring they didn’t get into trouble. This was a source of confusion for Cole because the cattle were also sapient. Yet, despite their intelligence, they’re still kept as livestock? Cole dismissed the idea. According to Tie Down, the relationship was more of a conscientious, symbiotic agreement. They provide the farm with a large quantity of milk to sell, and the ponies give them a place to safely graze and live. The reason Tie Down was in Appleloosa instead of at her family’s farm was that she had planned to participate in a bull-riding competition. However, the event had been canceled for some reason. With the competition no longer happening, she decided to take advantage of the vacation time in Appleloosa, all while her family still believed she was competing. “Say, you’re staying at Guitar’s inn, right? Why don’t we go over and… roll around in the hay?” Tie Down said, wrapping a hoof around Cole’s and giving him bedroom eyes. Cole felt a shiver run down his spine as her lust-filled golden eyes locked onto his. Another thing he had learned about her was just how flirtatious she could be with him. Mid-way into their conversation, she started dropping hints and not-so-subtle indications that she wanted to bed him, and it was growing increasingly difficult to keep his partner in its sheath. Cole’s nostrils flared as the same sweet scent from earlier filled the air, making his body react instantly. Beads of sweat began to form and trickle down his face as a wave of heat washed over him, his breathing growing heavier with every passing second. His skin tingled with heightened sensitivity, and before he realized it, his hoof instinctively clutched Tie Down’s as the overwhelming sensations persisted. Cole, despite the haze clouding his thoughts, managed to wonder—did ponies also have pheromones? Tie Down smiled as she felt Cole clutch her hoof. “Yes? No? I’ve gotta say, I’ve been craving a more… exotic experience lately. Won’t you help me out with that?” she said, running her hoof up his foreleg, making Cole shiver once more. Cole weighed his options. This mare clearly wanted him, and to be honest, he wanted her too. He also wasn’t sure if he would get another opportunity like this. For all he knows, the reason she’s so adamant about having sex with him is because she’s leaving for her family’s farm tomorrow. And so, with his decision made, Cole stared into Tie Down’s eyes and began releasing his own potent pheromones. “Yeah, I think I will,” Cole said with a sultry smile. /// The door to Cole’s room burst open with a resounding thud as he and Tie Down stumbled inside, their breaths ragged and faces flushed with a vivid shade of scarlet. Using his magic, Cole quickly shut the door and locked it right as Tie Down pounced on him, sending him onto his back and her stetson flying from her head. Tie Down crawled on top of Cole, the lewd scene making his already hardened cock twitch in anticipation. Placing her forehooves on either side of his head, Tie Down lay on top of him and buried her face into his thick, furry neck before breathing in deeply. She shuddered as she inhaled a lungful of his pheromones, the chemicals making her already horny body even hornier. Raising her head, she sloppily pressed her lips against Cole’s and began kissing him passionately while grinding her sopping wet cunt against his hard member. Cole moaned into the kiss, reciprocating her efforts with his own. Pushing his tongue against her lips, Tie Down welcomingly opened her mouth and allowed him to explore her. His tongue dragged along her teeth, and gums, and even swirled around her own in a wet dance of passion. Tie Down pushed back against his, and he allowed her to explore his mouth as well. Their needy moans filled the room as they continued their passionate make-out. Eventually, Tie Down pulled back, a strain of saliva staying connected between both lips before being broken apart. “Bed. Now,” she grunted, chest heaving as she rose from atop him. Cole quickly scrambled to his hooves and climbed up the wooden bed, the frame creaking as he lay his entire weight on it. Lying on his back, Cole watched as Tie Down climbed up on the bed and stood over him, her wet, dripping pussy coating his heavy balls with drops of her nectar. Cole’s cock throbbed excitedly in preparation for penetrating her tight confines. But his excitement turned to confusion once she turned around and exposed her winking lips to him. Before Cole could process and admire the perfection of her dark lips, Tie Down abruptly sat her flank down on his face, coating him with her juices. Without any prompting, Cole wrapped his hooves around her flank, brought her entrance to his mouth, and began to ravage her with his tongue. Tie Down tensed and let out a cute squeak as she felt Cole’s inexperienced but energetic tongue drift along and occasionally probe her entrance. The succulent and fruity flavor coated his tongue and drove him to explore deeper into her depths. This, while not exactly new to Cole, was still an unexplored avenue for him. Chrysalis was never one for foreplay and always wanted to get to the main show as soon as possible. Cole moaned as he felt her hoof wrap around the base of his cock before something wet drifted along his tip. His cock throbbed at the sudden pleasure, and he instinctively thrust his hips upwards, pushing his cock inside her mouth and to the back of her throat. Amazingly, Tie Down didn’t gag, instead, she reflexively shoved his cock down her throat before being forced to stop mid-way. She then proceeded to facefuck herself with reckless abandon, pulling back until her lips barely grazed the tip of his cock, only to ram her face back down again with unbridled intensity. The sounds that escaped her were a mix of muffled moans and choked gags as her mouth struggled to accommodate his pulsing cock. A dumb smile was present on her face as her tongue swirled around his girth, mapping every vein and curve as his musky odor traveled down her windpipe. Tie Down felt her entire body grow hotter with each second that passed, to the point where it felt like her blood was boiling under her skin. Cole's tongue was no longer enough, and she felt her insides clenching with a great longing for his horsemeat. Pulling back entirely with a distinct pop, Tie Down quickly rose to her hooves and turned back around. Cole bemoaned the loss of her luscious juices, but his discontent quickly shifted into eagerness as Tie Down straddled his hips. Tie Down didn’t waste a moment. Lifting her hips, she aimed his twitching shaft at her entrance before sinking herself down onto him. Cole and Tie Down let out throaty moans as they both connected, the unbearable heat assaulting their bodies calming and giving them a moment of calm. Hilting him completely, Tie Down let out small moans and shaky breaths as she placed her forehooves on his chest to keep herself balanced. “Oh, b-buck…” she murmured. Cole brought his hooves up and held her hips securely. “Y-You okay?” he asked, heart racing and blood pumping. Tie Down nodded, “Yeah, j-just give me a second…” Taking a deep breath, Tie Down raised herself up, stopping at his tip, before slamming herself back down. Pure bliss and an unparalleled amount of euphoric pleasure shot through her as his cockhead rammed into her cervix, the intense sensation forcing a scream from deep within her throat. If the other tenants in the building couldn’t hear them before, they sure did now. The bed’s wooden frame creaked in protest as Tie Down's relentless movements pushed it to its limits. Tie Down’s moans grew louder and more incessant with each bounce on his cock, the sensations she was feeling driving her wild. Cole groaned as he tightened his grip on her hips and began timing his thrusts with her merciless bounces. The room echoed with flesh meeting flesh and it felt like Tie Down was trying to shatter his pelvis with how hard she was slamming herself down on him. “Ah! Ah! Ah! AHH! Oh, buck! Oh, BUCK!” Tie Down was locked in a state of utter pleasure as she kept riding this absolute beast of a stallionhood. His cock touched her in all the right places and would occasionally stimulate her g-spot, making her gush her sweet juices and coil tightly around him. The whorish moans emanating from the room made ponies unfortunate enough to be listening blush madly. Cole ground his teeth together and grunted as he began to feel the telltale signs of an orgasm approaching. His muscles tensed, and he felt a rising tension forming around his tip as it flared in preparation for his ejaculation. “I’m getting close…” Cole moaned, struggling to keep himself back. “Inside! I want it inside of me!” she howled in reply. Unable to hold himself back, Cole brought her down onto him until he was completely enveloped in her sweltering depths, and he let loose. Cole’s eyes rolled to the back of his head and he felt himself stop breathing as he released thick jets of his seed inside of her. Tie Down’s insides contracted around him and rhythmically pumped his cock, eager to empty him of all he had. After the seventh jet of his seed, Cole was now only releasing weak spurts that slowly died down until his orgasm ended. Gasping for air, Cole blinked several times, trying to steady his breathing. As his vision cleared, he was slow to realize that he was seeing through eight eyes again, and as such, didn’t realize that he had lost his disguise. “Finally, you show your true self to me,” he heard Tie Down say. Confused by the sudden statement, Cole tilted his head up just in time to witness Tie Down being consumed by swirling orange flames. What emerged from the fiery shroud made all eight of his eyes widen in shock. Two glowing orange eyes with sharp, cat-like pupils bore into him, radiating unsatiated hunger. A serrated horn, jagged along the front and back, jutted from her forehead, its sharp tip gleaming ominously. Perched just behind the horn sat a crown similar to Chrysalis’, though it held only two glowing, bright yellow beads compared to Chrysalis’ four. Her mane, however, was strikingly different—a radiant yellow and gold, cut short to just below her chin. Most of it swept over the left side of her head, while a few rebellious strands draped across her right eye and ear. Cole jolted in surprise as he noticed that her ear was missing a large chunk and that she also had fangs jutting from her mouth, the details adding even more to her already ominous appearance. Her carapace shimmered in a rich golden hue, gradually fading into a vibrant orange along her back. with two dark orange, semi-translucent wings jutting her back. Her tail, like her mane, was also cut short, the gold and yellow strands tickling his balls as she slowly wagged her tail from side to side. Finally, the most noticeable feature about her was the unmistakable and distinctive number of holes adorning her legs, mane, wings, and tail. “Wha—!?” Cole started to scream before his mouth was covered by quickly hardening slime. “Shhh. We wouldn’t want other ponies to get suspicious would we?” she whispered sweetly. Feeling panic quickly overcome his thoughts, Cole instinctively raised his hooves to swing at her, but with two spits, they were coated in slime and stuck to the bed's headboard. Pulling on his hooves with all the strength he could muster, Cole whimpered pitifully once he realized there was no escape. As a last-ditch effort, Cole tried to use his magic to attack her. “Tie Down” watched with smug interest as Cole attempted to activate his horn, only managing a faint, dim green glow before it faded completely. “Tie Down” chuckled cruelly. “Oh, to fight till the very end and still lose. No wonder Chrysalis has such an interest in you—so feisty.” She then leaned in close to his face. “If you’re wondering why you can’t use your magic, I put a little inhibitor on you while you were oh so generously pumping me full of your seed.” True to her words, Cole could feel something similar to a ring firmly secured near the base of his horn. The inhibitor let out a small, barely audible hum as it glowed with a dim blue light, the energy it emitted disabling his most important feature. Cole let out a muffled moan as he felt her raise her hips and let his softening cock slip out of her insides, her entrance dripping with his thick seed. Lying on top of him, belly to belly, “Tie Down” glanced out the room’s only window, noticing that the sun was just beginning to set over the horizon. “Looks like we’re going to be here all night, just you and me,” she purred, licking her lips between her fangs. “And by the time we’re done, you’ll belong to me and me alone, my little King,” she said, caressing his cheek. Cole glared at the orange changeling above him, his stinger twitching in anticipation. She didn’t seem to realize he could still use it against her. Curling his abdomen, Cole suddenly thrust his stinger forward, aiming to bury the sharp point in the changeling’s thigh. Suddenly, the changeling’s horn flared with an orange aura, and Cole’s stinger came to an abrupt halt. “You didn’t think I’d forget about that, did you?” Cole growled in defiance and desperately tried to sting her, but it was no use. Unimpressed by his resistance, “Tie Down” forced his stinger down with her magic before engulfing Cole’s entire body in her orange aura. His eyes widened in recognition of the spell just as he suddenly found himself unable to move. “There we go. Much better,” she said. Still feeling the anger and hate wafting off Cole in droves, “Tie Down” placed a small smooch on his forehead below his horn. “Don’t worry, I, Queen Seraphyx will take great care of you. But first, a little something to get you fired up.” Cole’s eyes widened in terror as he felt Seraphyx sink her fangs into his neck, biting down hard enough to puncture his chitin. Groaning in pain, he felt something get injected into his bloodstream before Seraphyx pulled back and licked the wound clean. The effect was near instantaneous. Cole's body transformed into a furnace, blazing with an unbearable heat that sent his cock swelling to full mast within seconds. His chitin became incredibly sensitive, allowing him to feel every subtle breath Seraphyx took and each drop of her sweat as it fell from her face and trickled down his neck. Finally, his mind was consumed with the single-minded and primal need to bury his cock deep inside this goddess of a changeling and pump her full of his baby batter. Cole let out muffled mewls of longing while his cock throbbed with incessant yearning. His body and mind ached with a desperate need to plunge into her and be enveloped by her scorching depths only to be stopped by the cruel spell Seraphyx had placed upon his body. Cole didn’t need to wait much longer, however, as Seraphyx mercifully impaled herself on his throbbing shaft, forcing a choked moan out of Cole as she began to ride him with renewed fervency. Cole let out moan after moan, his body trembling and his eyes struggling not to roll to the back of his head under the intense pleasure he was feeling. It quickly became too much for him to bear, and he found himself shooting buckets into Seraphyx’s womb after only twenty seconds. Seraphyx refused to relent, continuing to ride Cole with unyielding fervor even as he was consumed by a mind-shattering orgasm. Her pelvic muscles maintained their relentless grip, coiling and sucking him in a rhythmic motion that pushed his sensitive organ to its limits and beyond. The sensation was a double-edged sword, veering wildly between agonizing overstimulation and euphoric pleasure. As Cole was subjected to Seraphyx's onslaught, he was quickly reduced to a state of incoherent crying and mewling, and time lost all meaning. He couldn't tell if it had been an hour or a year since they had begun, and whenever he tried to think clearly, his thoughts were drowned out by waves of pain and pleasure. Cole let out a muffled scream as he felt yet another mind-shattering orgasm crash through him. His chest heaved, his body shook, and his cock quivered as his senses continued to be relentlessly assaulted. But then, it all stopped, and Cole was mercifully given a moment of reprieve to catch his breath. “Such a good colt~ Tell me, has that hussy Chrysalis ever made you feel this way?” Seraphyx’s melodic voice asked through the haze in Cole’s mind. The hardened slime around Cole’s mouth melted away, allowing him to answer. “N… No…” Cole weakly said through labored breaths. Seraphyx grinned wickedly, “So, if you had to choose between her Hive and mine, which would you join?” she asked, emphasizing the question with a tight squeeze of her insides. Cole groaned, his broken mind still struggling to catch up to him. “Y... You…” he mumbled. “Good~” Seraphyx’s horn flared with a bright orange aura as she brought its sharp tip down to meet Cole’s. He felt a distinct pull at his horn and allowed Seraphyx to assimilate him into her Hivemind. The connection between him and Chrysalis was ruthlessly severed, replaced by a new link between him and Seraphyx. Normally, such a monumental event would have immediately alerted Chrysalis, but the distance between her and Cole ensured she wouldn’t notice a thing until it was too late. Cole’s eyes suddenly shifted, changing from a toxic green to a vibrant orange. His carapace, wings, and neck fin followed suit, transforming from blue-green to a shade of orange-yellow. “Perfect~” Seraphyx purred sweetly as she gazed gleefully at her King's new look. Cole’s world once again devolved into a state of blinding pleasure and pain, his senses completely shattered by Seraphyx's unrelenting intensity. The sounds of his and Seraphyx’s primal lovemaking echoed endlessly into the night, and Cole would find himself passing out in an incomprehensible mess later in the early hours of dawn.

I'm uploading this at, like, 2 AM and I may have missed some things while editing |) Cerulean Valleys Cole stared wearily at the ceiling of his and Seraphyx's shared chambers. His body was sore, aching with exhaustion as he woke from yet another night of depravity. How long had this been going on? A week? Two weeks? A month? Cole couldn’t tell. Seraphyx never let him outside the Hive, barely let him explore the Hive at all. He felt a new level of frustration well up within him, but Cole stamped it down and took a deep breath. Getting angry wouldn’t fix the problem he was in. Cole raised his right hoof and massaged his horn, feeling the magical inhibitor still firmly secured near its base. When he glanced at his hoof, he noticed the small hole that was present a while ago had grown significantly, and new ones were beginning to form on his other three hooves. It was to be expected, he supposes. Seraphyx was siphoning love from him more often than Chrysalis did. Three sharp knocks jolted Cole from his thoughts, and he glowered at the chamber’s entrance. “It’s time to wake up, my King! The Queen requests your presence in the throne room!” “Elytra’s” chipper voice rang out. Cole’s glower turned into a scowl at the sound of “Elytra’s” voice. His real name is Vertex, and that bastard was the reason Cole had been kidnapped in the first place. As it turns out, he had never been part of Chrysalis’ Hive at all; he was just a little cockroach who managed to infiltrate it after killing the real Elytra and taking his place in the Hivemind. Three more sharp knocks rang out before he heard the voice in his head this time. “My King? Are you awake?” Vertex questioned innocently. Hissing angrily, Cole rolled off the bed and staggered toward the door, ignoring both the ache in his legs and his bent neck fin. His stinger twitched in anticipation, but the hardened slime encasing it rendered it useless. Cole wanted to hurt Vertex—wanted to hurt him so badly—but Cole always held himself back. He didn’t know, nor did he want to know, how Seraphyx might react to him leaving lasting injuries on her subjects. Opening the door, Cole was met with Vertex about to knock on the door for a third time. Vertex perked up at the sight of his King and he lowered his hoof before speaking. “My King!” he said cheerfully. “It’s so great to-” “Shut up.” Vertex flinched at Cole’s venomous tone, his hooves trembling slightly under the weight of the sheer amount of hatred directed at him. “M-My, Kin- agh!” Vertex yelped as Cole shoved a hoof against his neck, forcing him to the ground. He gasped for air, but the pressure only increased as Cole pressed down harder. “You will not speak unless spoken to. Do I make myself clear?” Vertex nodded frantically, “Y-Yes, I’m sorry!” his terror-ridden voice shouted. Satisfied, Cole lifted his hoof and allowed Vertex to breathe. Once his airway was freed, the orange-gold changeling took in greedy breaths before hesitantly meeting Cole’s eight piercing eyes. Cole narrowed his eyes at the changeling, taking a deep breath to calm himself before speaking once more. “Remind me, why are you here?” Cole ordered calmly. Vertex, still trembling, answered swiftly. “The Q-Queen sent me to r-retrieve you, my K-King,” he stammered. Cole nodded before taking a quick moment to straighten out his neck fin. “Lead the way,” he said apathetically. Vertex bowed, not daring to utter another word, and began trotting down the dimly lit tunnel, with Cole falling into step beside him. As they walked, Cole made a concerted effort to memorize the labyrinthine corridors and tunnels that comprised Seraphyx's Hive, hoping to identify a potential escape route. His task was simplified by the fact that he was currently in the lowest levels of the Hive. So he only needed to worry about moving upward. However, even this rather straightforward goal was complicated by the complete lack of any concrete knowledge of the layout of the Hive. Cole has only ever visited the upper levels, like, maybe two or three times, so his escape plan has a very good chance of backfiring on him. Cole shuddered at the thought of what kind of punishment Seraphyx might give him if he failed. “M-May I have p-permission to speak, y-your Highness?” Vertex anxiously stammered. Cole didn't bother to turn to him, only looking at him with his peripheral eyes. “You may,” Cole replied coolly. “I kn-know you may not l-like what I did, b-but I only did it with th-the best intentions in mind,” Vertex said. “The Queen isn't so bad o-once you get to know her!” Cole chuckled, turning to face him with a toothy grin, “And by ‘best intentions’ you mean the reward she no doubt gave you for leading me into her trap, huh?” Cole leaned in close to Vertex's face. “Jeez, you're just another Basal, aren't you? Only worrying about getting in the Queen’s good graces. Fucking pathetic.” Vertex's eyes widened, shocked that Cole would make such an accusation. “Wh-What? N-No, my King! I truly thought that-” “No, you didn't think shit.” Vertex flinched away from Cole's totalitarian tone, his body trembling and screaming at him to bow at the monarch's hooves lest he suffer the consequences. “All you did was follow Seraphyx's orders like the good little lamb you are. You did this expecting I would somehow be okay with it and find it in myself to understand and forgive you. But I'm telling you right now. “I. Am. Not. “Now shut up and keep going.” Vertex trembled and sniffled quietly as Cole walked away from him, his hoofsteps growing quieter as he walked down the tunnel. “I won't tell you again, Vertex,” Cole said through the Hivemind. Vertex whimpered, jumping to his hooves and retaking his spot next to Cole. His body shaking with uncontrolled fear. After an uncomfortable eight-minute walk, Vertex was more than happy to leave Cole alone and wallow in his despair somewhere else. Cole couldn't care less, the more he wallows, the better. Taking a deep breath, Cole knocked on the throne room doors and waited. The doors were engulfed in a golden aura before they were slowly opened. As they opened, Cole could hear the talking inside come to a halt as every pair of eyes inside landed on him. The throne room bore a striking resemblance to Chrysalis', with its expansive chamber and an obnoxiously large throne at its center. However, a notable difference emerged in the form of a second, equally imposing throne, positioned alongside the first. One throne was clearly intended for Cole, while the other was meant for Seraphyx. Interestingly, Cole's throne appeared to be more elaborately designed and ornate. It was most likely an attempt by Seraphyx to appease Cole and be like “Hey! I made you this cool throne so I’m obviously better than Chrysalis!” If that’s the case then she can keep trying. Cole wasn’t going to be easily placated. Stepping inside the throne room, Cole rolled his eyes at the deep bows directed his way. Ignoring the other changelings, Cole walked up to Seraphyx’s throne where said Queen sat. Cole gestured to the other throne. “I assume that one’s for me?” he asked. Seraphyx grinned, “Of course it would be. What’s a King without his throne?” Cole rolled his eyes once more, then sprang upward, using his wings to boost himself onto his throne. He circled around in it for a moment, searching for the perfect position to settle into, before ultimately deciding to simply lie down on top of it. “So, am I actually going to do something today, or am I just going to sit here and look pretty?” Cole asked scornfully. Seraphyx giggled, unbothered by Cole’s tone, “Yes, you’ll be doing a lot of things starting today, but first, I have another gift for you.” Her horn suddenly flared with a golden hue, and something materialized in front of her. Furrowing his eyes at the action, Cole waited for the brightness to dim before finally looking at her supposed “gift.” “Oh. Oh my fucking God. You’re joking, right?” Cole felt like laughing out loud. Her “gift” was an orange collar with a gold tag that had the word “Coal” engraved on it. Cole snickered at her with a face that said “You can’t be serious.” Unfortunately, Seraphyx’s smug smirk did not fade, and Cole realized that, yes, she was serious. “No. Just no. I’m not wearing that,” Cole said with a deadpanned expression. “I’m afraid you don’t have a choice, Coal,” she giggled, her horn flaring brighter. Cole's body was suddenly enveloped in Seraphyx's golden aura. He grimaced as she restrained him, forcing him to remain still while she attached the collar around his neck. The moment the collar clicked shut behind his neck, Cole was released from her aura's hold. He immediately attempted to remove the offending device, but his hooves made it nearly impossible for him to manipulate the collar and free himself. Cole growled in frustration before attempting to tug the name tag off but to no avail. With an exasperated sigh, he released the despicable item with a frustrated yank. “You could’ve at least spelled my name right,” he grumbled. “I did spell your name right,” Seraphyx said with an innocent smile, leaving it at that. Cole rolled his eyes for the third time and sighed miserably. “Whatever. What am I doing here? You said I was going to be doing a lot of things soon.” Seraphyx nodded, “I’m sure you’re aware of how to maintain the Hive, yes? Chrysalis taught you that much, I presume?” “Yeah? What about it?” “I’m going to be gone for a week. A week and a half at the latest. And I need someling to watch over my Hive while I’m gone.” “Me?” Cole asked, not believing what he was hearing. This could be his golden opportunity! “Yes, you,” Seraphyx said self-evidently. “You are the King, are you not?” “Yeah, sure,” Cole dismissed, trying his best not to give away his excitement. Seraphyx nodded in acknowledgment, her expression serious. "For today, your role will be observational," she explained. "Leading the Hive entails far more than mere maintenance. You must monitor our love supply, ensure the grubs are thriving and healthy, keep tabs on active infiltrators, and attend to a plethora of other responsibilities." While it was already things Cole knew about from Chrysalis, he never really participated in all those duties as Chrysalis didn’t want to overwhelm him. She wanted to ease him into the responsibility of a King, unlike Seraphyx who was currently throwing him into the deep end. “And if you stay on your best behavior I’ll have a reward for you back in our chambers~” she whispered sultrily into Cole’s ear. Cole hated how much that made his heart race. “...and finally, we arrive at the nursing chamber,” Seraphyx announced as she and Cole stepped inside said chamber. Immediately all the nurses inside broke into deep bows at the sight of the King and Queen before returning to caring for the curious and rowdy grubs. Cole's eyes softened at the sight of the little rascals, and he walked to the center of the room, lay down on his belly, and waited for them to approach him. Immediately, all the grubs stopped what they were doing and stared at him with curious eyes. They chirped and trilled at him, and Cole responded with vocalizations of his own. They approached him in a wave of cries and squeaks, a sound that was music to Cole’s ears. As soon as they reached him, they eagerly climbed on top of him, and some attempted to squeeze themselves into the holes in his hooves. Cole smiled before grabbing three of them with his hooves and gently cleaning them with his tongue. Naturally, the three of them began to shriek and cry at the assault on their bodies, their tiny little limbs flailing in an attempt to escape his ministrations. “I see you're already acquainted with this area of expertise,” Seraphyx teased, lying down on her belly beside him. “Yeah, you could say that,” Cole smiled before finally releasing the screeching grubs. Looking around the nursery, Cole’s eyes landed on a large clutch of eggs—his eggs—snuggly kept together in a makeshift nest of blankets and pillows. There were about 12 in total, a lot less than 38, but Cole’s sure that’s going to change at some point if he doesn’t find a way out of here. Cole feels a stab of guilt hit him at the thought of escaping. Because, if he escapes, he’s essentially leaving those grubs fatherless. But, if he doesn’t escape, he’ll leave his grubs with Chrysalis fatherless. And the two of them seem to have a bit of bad blood between each other, so Cole doubts that they’ll, uh, “share.” “What’s wrong?” Seraphyx asks, sensing his negative emotions. “Nothing,” Cole quickly replies. “Is there anything else you want to show or tell me about?” he asks, carefully standing back up with the grubs on his back. Seraphyx shook her head and smiled. “No, but I’m sure you want to know what your reward is for being such a good colt today,” she said, gently caressing his cheek. Cole blushes, his cheeks growing dark orange, “I, uh, y-yeah, I guess.” “Come on, then,” Seraphyx giggled. “I’m sure this will be something you won’t forget,” she said, using her magic to take the grubs off his back and hooves. The two left the nursery with excited steps and made their way to their private chambers. At some point, Seraphyx began releasing her pheromones for Cole to smell, and while the use of pheromones didn’t make him lose himself anymore, it still did wonders for getting him in the mood. And wasn’t that a conundrum? For as much as he disliked her, Cole couldn’t find himself denying any chance of having sex with her, even though he probably should. He wonders how deep Chrysalis would dig his grave if she found out he was, more often than not, willing to plug Seraphyx’s holes with his tool. Arriving at their private chambers, Seraphyx steps inside with a smirk on her face, her tail swishing from side to side and allowing Cole shameless views of her winking pussy. Cole drank in the view as he stepped inside and shut the door behind him, his tongue exiting his mouth and licking his lips hungrily. “Now, about your reward,” Seraphyx said, turning to face him. Cole opened his mouth to question what it would be. But before he could get a word out, Seraphyx’s horn flared and Cole’s vision was engulfed with orange flames. The flames dissipated and he stared at Seraphyx in confusion, wondering why she did that. It was then that he realized that he either suddenly got a bit smaller, or Seraphyx had gotten bigger than him. “What just happened?” Cole asked in a confused tone. Seraphyx giggled and brushed her side against his, sending a shiver down Cole’s spine. “Why don’t you look under?” she said in a weirdly excited tone. Furrowing a brow at her choice of words, Cole did as she said and took a peek under his barrel. … His dick was gone. Cole blinked furiously, wondering if his eyes were playing tricks on him. But no matter how many times he did, his precious feature did not reappear. It was even more distressing when he realized that he couldn’t feel it either. “Wh… What?” Cole blurted out, unable to process what he was seeing. “Mmm, no wonder you stallions are always thinking with your cocks. This does feel rather delightful~” he heard Seraphyx purr in her sickly sweet tone. Hesitantly looking up, Cole saw Seraphyx staring at him as if he were a slab of meat. The look made Cole gulp nervously and take an unconscious step back. Something twitched in his vision, and Cole looked down to see an erect, veiny cock jutting out from a sheath underneath Seraphyx. Said cock was already eagerly dripping with an endless stream of pre that began to form a small puddle on the floor. “Hey, w-wait a minute. What’s going on?” Cole said, taking some more steps back. Seraphyx pressed forward, an eager grin on her face. “What’s wrong, Coal? Don’t you like your reward?” “Th-This feels like more like a punishment than a reward!” he exclaimed, his rump bumping into the wall of the chambers. “Relax,” Seraphyx calmly said as she closed the distance between them. Cole glanced away, desperate to find a way out of this uncomfortable situation. His wings buzzed anxiously, and the lack of a stinger made him feel all the more vulnerable. Then, a hoof softly cupped his chin, making him look up. There, he saw Seraphyx gazing at him with a soft expression. “I’ll be gentle,” she said reassuringly. For a brief moment, Cole found himself believing in the sincerity of her tone, but it was quickly thrown away with the horrifying and extremely uncomfortable thought of him being the one getting fucked instead of the other way around. Cole shook his head, “N-No! I don’t wa- Argh!” Cole yelped as Seraphyx suddenly and swiftly struck, clamping her fangs tightly around his neck and flooding him full of her aphrodisiac venom. Cole moaned as he felt a familiar warmth begin to form in his loins that quickly began to spread to the rest of his body. But Seraphyx didn’t let go, she kept pumping more and more of her venom into him, making Cole’s body turn into a burning furnace, and making his heart pump violently against his chest. By the time Seraphyx finally let him go, Cole barely registered collapsing to the floor in a trembling heap nor how fast he was breathing. The only thing his mind could focus on was the unbearable emptiness plaguing his newly changed sex. Cole whined and whimpered as he felt something nuzzle his neck. Sparing a hazy glance upwards, he saw Seraphyx staring down at him hungrily. “Don’t worry, my King. I’ll take good care of you,” Seraphyx whispered before igniting her horn. Cole’s body was engulfed in a golden aura, and he was gently whisked from the ground and carried over to the bed. Gently placing a whining Cole on the bed, Seraphyx took a moment to put him in a comfortable position. Laying Cole on his side, Seraphyx climbed on top of the bed and laid down behind him. Wrapping her arms around Cole, who was still endlessly moaning, Seraphyx spooned him and pulled him close. Cole gasped as he felt Seraphyx's warm body against his back, the sensation making his heart skip a beat. His excitement only grew once he felt Seraphyx's meat rub up against his winking folds. He whimpered and thrust his hips back, desperate to feel her inside of him. “Mmm, I can't wait to feel how tight you are~” Seraphyx whispered into his ear. She aimed her cock at his entrance and began to slowly thrust her hips forward. Cole gasped and moaned loudly as her tip pierced his folds, slowly stretching his virgin insides out. Eventually, Seraphyx bottomed out inside of him, her cock throbbing and pulsing with a primal desire to fuck Cole silly. She moaned loudly, relishing the absolutely divine amount of pleasure crashing through her body. If this is how stallions always felt during sex then she might never want to change back. On the other hand, Cole was completely intoxicated with pleasure. Colors flashed before his eyes, and the world swirled and spun incomprehensibly around him. He could feel his inner muscles as they contracted and massaged Seraphyx's cock, and the heat building inside him grew even more intense the longer they remained still. With a desperate whine, Cole began to thrust his hips back into her, the resulting influx of pleasure making him moan, sending shivers down his spine. Seraphyx grunted from the sudden movement before grinning and meeting his thrusts with her own. The two moved in perfect tandem, their synchronized lovemaking bringing untold amounts of euphoria and pushing them even closer to the peak of their passion. Seraphyx clutched Cole tighter against him and increased her pace, feeling an unfamiliar tightness building up in her. The sound of Cole’s ceaseless moans rising an octave was music to her ears, and the way he contracted tighter around her made her body hungry for more. “Such a good colt~ You’re such a good colt~” Seraphyx whispered into Cole’s ear. Cole's voice escaped as a strangled mewl before his muscles clenched even tighter around Seraphyx, his body shuddering violently as he unleashed a single, loud, piercing cry of pleasure. The mind-shattering orgasm crashed through him, leaving him breathless and overwhelmed. Seraphyx wasn’t far behind, and she let out a series of loud grunts of pleasure as she chased after her own orgasm. The tightness that had built up inside of her was now focused at her tip and threatened to erupt like a geyser. “Oh, b-buck! I think I’m ah- ahhhhh!” And erupt like a geyser she did. Burying her face deep into the crook of Cole's neck, Seraphyx let out a primal howl as she was consumed by her first male orgasm. Instinctively, she drove herself as deep into Cole as she could, hilting herself fully and unleashing thick ropes of seed inside him, filling him up to max capacity and forcing any excess out of small gaps in his entrance. Once her orgasm finally died down, Seraphyx took a moment to catch her breath and let her muscles relax. She had never experienced such an intense orgasm before, her normal orgasms couldn’t even begin to compare. But, the downsides were apparent with how exhausted she became after a single one. Now she understands the saying of stallions being “one dump chumps.” Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Cole’s desperate mewling, followed by him thrusting his hips back into Seraphyx’s softening cock sending a small jolt of pleasure down her spine. Seraphyx grinned, “You want more? I’ll give you more than you could ever ask for.” Cole was having a crisis. The likes of which he’s sure no one else has ever experienced before. Because not only had Seraphyx left him as a female, but he was also p… pregnant… How!? How was it possible!? Cole thought the transformations were simply disguises! He didn’t think he’d actually biologically turn into the creature/gender he chose! This was absolute bullshit! “Are you okay, my King?” Vertex’s hesitant voice said. “Okay? Okay!? Why would I be okay with this!?” Cole shouted, stopping his pacing to look at the offending changeling. Vertex squeaked, shrinking away from Cole’s piercing gaze. “W-Well, wouldn’t it b-be exciting to, um… l-lay the eggs, my King?” Cole clicked his tongue. A part of him was excited about the prospect—the female part, that is. Every other part wanted nothing to do with all the intricacies of being a woman. “I guess a little, but I didn't really ask for this you know!” Vertex stayed quiet, not knowing how to respond to Cole’s venting. Cole sighed, “Whatever, I guess I'll just have to deal with it,” he said as he rubbed the infuriating magic inhibitor still attached to his horn. “What's the first order of business today?” For as much as Cole abhorred Vertex at the moment, the changeling was a perfect choice to help him along with his royal duties in the Hive. And Cole hasn't had a chance to meet any other changelings apart from the ones that entered the throne room whenever he was present with Seraphyx. “Um, f-first, we have to visit the harvesting chamber for your donation of love. Then, we'll check how the new infiltrator recruits are doing and assign the instructors some deadlines for what you expect by the end of the week,” Vertex explained. “Alright, let's go and get this over with.” The following days passed in a blur of a familiar routine. Wake up, donate love, complete royal duties, sleep. It was a bit similar to his routine with Chrysalis except he was the one calling the shots now. He authorized the construction of new chambers, supervised the training of infiltrators, and frequently visited the nursery to play with the grubs. He even devised a plan for a group of infiltrators to kidnap some ponies for the Hive. As terrible as that last part was, Cole found himself getting used to the prospect. He still felt slightly bad about it, but what could he do about it? His new life was essentially kill or be killed. However, no amount of mental cushioning could prepare him for the act of laying the eggs in his womb. An event that continued to plague him with cruel uncertainty. Then, the last day of the week arrived, and Cole was terrified. “They're sure to come out now, right?? Will it, um, hurt?” Cole spoke to Vertex in a hushed tone, his eyes furrowed in fear. Vertex blinked, not entirely sure what to say, “What did the nurses say yesterday?” Cole clutched his bloated belly uncomfortably. “Well, they said the eggs should be coming out soon, but that's it! Nothing about if it'd be painful or not!” “The Queen never expressed any feelings of pain during the laying process. I'm sure if it were painful everyling would've felt it through the Hivemind,” Vertex tried reassuring. Unfortunately, it did little to quell Cole's nerves. Vertex patted Cole on the back, “Just relax, your Majesty. Everything will be fine!” he said with a smile. Cole frowned at Vertex. While such a casual gesture would have probably made Cole lose his temper a few days earlier, he had found himself growing appreciative of Vertex's presence once more. That or Cole was suffering from a severe case of Stockholm Syndrome. “Hopefully, you're right, Vertex. Hopefully, you are right…” The day passed without too much interruption, and Cole found himself putting the thought of laying his eggs on the back burner as he focused on his royal duties. Right now, Cole was supervising the infiltrator recruits as they undertook their end-of-week test. The test required them to sneak past experienced infiltrators without revealing their presence through any emotional or physical means. Their objective was to reach the end of the room and return to the starting point without being detected. The test was performed in the practice chamber, which was about 20 feet high and 30 feet wide and long. Side-by-side, tiny structures resembling houses were constructed in the chamber, resembling a village. All of them were about 15 feet high and gave the recruits some hiding spaces and covered them in shadow. Above the practice area, hanging from the ceiling were large clumps of glowing orange slime that provided enough illumination to make the setting resemble a sunset. The experienced infiltrators would play the role of guards patrolling the area in armored pony disguises. If the guards found the recruit, then the recruit failed the test and would have to try again another time. Cole’s presence added another variable to the test, as the recruits now had to contend with the pressure of their King observing their performance. Some were, without a doubt, nervous, while others were eager to prove themselves. They would have to contain those emotions if they wanted to pass with flying colors. “Alright, Shade! You’re up next! Go whenever you’re ready!” the instructor shouted from the small balcony where he, Vertex, and Cole were seated. “I must say, I’m impressed with what you’ve done, Oz. So far, everyone has performed perfectly,” Cole says with a smile, watching as Shade approaches the village. “Well, I do strive for perfection, my King,” Oz said with a pleased smile. “I have been for the past 21 years.” “Seraphyx and I would expect nothing less.” Cole watched as Shade patiently stalked through the town, using the dark alleyways and shadows to his advantage as he got closer to the other side of the room. The “guards” were none the wiser, unknowingly passing by him a couple of times and sometimes almost brushing by Shade when checking any dark alleys he hid in. It also helped that Shade’s small size made it even more difficult for him to spot in the darkness. After about five more minutes of sneaking, Shade made it to the end, and Cole vaguely saw Shade doing a little celebratory dance before immediately stopping. Cole chuckled at the sight, finding it a bit humorous. Suddenly, Cole felt… something in his stomach. It was like an object was moving and doing flips inside his intestines or something. The feeling in his stomach was then followed by a slight burning sensation in his folds as his pelvic muscles suddenly relaxed without prompting. Cole’s vision swirled, his pupils dilated, and he felt a strong, instinctive urge to lie on his side and just relax. “My King? Are you alright?” Oz’s voice echoed in Cole’s ears. Cole barely registered to question, only letting out a faint curse before falling onto his side and allowing his body to do… whatever it was that it needed to do. Muffled shouts sounded all around Cole, but he didn't pay them any mind. The world around him moved and spun, and Cole suddenly found himself in a different room filled with many glowing orange eggs, the sight of which made him coo happily. “How many eggs has he laid so far?” Cole heard a feminine voice say. “Three,” he heard Vertex say. “Okay, we’ll take it from here…” Cole moaned in confusion as he regained his senses an hour and a half later. His body was trembling, and his insides and pelvis were unbearably sore. He was also wrapped in a very warm bundle of blankets. Huh, that's pretty nice. Cole groaned, fighting the urge to stay down and fall asleep inside the warm bundle. He let out a hiss as he tried to sit up, his body aching in protest. “It wouldn't be wise to move so soon, my King,” a female voice abruptly said, stopping Cole. Collapsing back to his side with a cry, Cole looked around to find where the voice came from. “I'm over here, your Highness,” she said again. Following the voice, Cole craned his head to see a changeling watching over a large clutch of glowing orange eggs. Cole instantly felt drawn to the eggs, wanting nothing more than to hold them and keep them close. These, he realized, were his eggs. “They're all nice and healthy, though one is a little smaller than usual, but it's nothing to worry about,” the nurse said before enveloping all the eggs in her magic. Carefully levitating the eggs off the ground, the nurse gently placed them next to Cole. “They're beautiful,” he whispered, as if speaking would disturb the grubs inside. The nurse smiled, “I would have to agree,” she whispered as well. In that moment, Cole forgot about everything, his plan to escape, his frustrations about Seraphyx, and his human life which he would never get back. The only thing Cole cared about at that moment was his eggs and how much he was going to love them. As it turns out, having an insatiable feeling of love and affection for his unborn young would make wanting to escape the Hive very difficult. Any time Cole would begin his escape plan, he would always find himself backing out at some point because he couldn't handle the thought of leaving his eggs behind. It was so unbearable that Cole would find himself retreating back to the nursery and cuddling with them, mumbling sweet nothings, and apologizing for almost abandoning them. But then, Cole had an epiphany. Maybe he was simply feeling this way because he was still female. If he was male again, then perhaps the emotional weight of abandoning the eggs wouldn't be so heavy on his head. “Please, Vertex? Isn't there something you can do? I don't know how much longer I can stand being like this before I get used to it,” Cole said with a shudder. “The Queen told me and everyling else that we weren't allowed to take off your inhibitor,” Vertex argued. “It's just for, like, five seconds! It's not like Seraphyx is gonna find out.” Vertex shuffled nervously, “I don't know…” “...Do you think I'm gonna hurt you?” “...A bit, but that's not the only reason.” Cole sighed and lowered himself to his belly. Vertex was really putting his acting skills to the test here. “Listen, can I… I just…” Cole let out a sigh, pausing for a moment to find the right words. “You don't trust me, don't you?” Vertex stayed silent, slightly afraid of what speaking his thoughts would bring. “Yeah, I wouldn't trust me either if I was you.” Cole paused again, letting his words sink in. “I know it's a lot for me to ask of you, especially because of how badly I treated you recently. But can you forgive me?” Vertex's eyes widened, the notion of his King asking for forgiveness instead of the other way around boggling his mind. “I- Wha- F-Forgiveness for what?” Vertex asked, his mind thrown for a loop. “Forgiveness for how shittily I've treated you until now?” “...Why?” Cole furrowed his brows in confusion, “Because it's a considerate and good thing to do? Because I want to take accountability for my slightly justified yet asshole actions?” “...The Queen never asks us for forgiveness whenever she does… less than pleasant things.” “Well, that's just because she's a shitty person who doesn't have a single humble bone in her body.” Vertex looked at Cole like he just insulted God. Which Cole may as well have in the changeling's eyes. “Um, o-okay? I forgive you?” Cole smiled softly, “Thank you.” The two sat in silence, not knowing what to say next. Cole tried his best to hide how desperate he was. Hoping- Praying for Vertex to have some sort of change in heart or character. Cole sighed, “Well, now that that's out of the way… What are we doing today?” Vertex didn't respond immediately, his mind still lost in thought. Cole felt a spark of hope as he watched Vertex's facial expressions shift slightly from whatever he was thinking about. This was it! It had to be! “Vertex?” Vertex looked up to Cole before quickly glancing away. “It'll only take five seconds?” he asked, his voice no higher than a whisper. “Uh, y-yes! Only five seconds,” Cole said a little too quickly. Vertex took a deep breath, oblivious to his tone, “O… Okay.” Cole struggled to hide his excitement as Vertex ignited his horn and bathed the magic inhibitor in an orange glow. Immediately, he felt a surge through his body as his magic returned to him, and without wasting a second, Cole activated his horn. “I'm so sorry,” Cole mumbled. “Wha-” Unfortunately, Vertex would not finish his sentence, as Cole knocked him unconscious by slamming his head into the rocky ground hard enough to leave a noticeable crack. Immediately after, Cole used his magic to remove the inhibitor around his horn and the collar from his neck before reverting to his male self. However, he stayed the same size so he wouldn't draw too much attention. As soon as he was done, Cole used his illusionary skills to add a fake inhibitor onto his horn, finishing his disguise. Looking back at Vertex, Cole thought about what to do with him. He couldn't, in good conscience, leave him in the Hive. Seraphyx would kill him without a second thought once she figured out what he did to help Cole escape. But, then again, Chrysalis would probably do the same since he was a spy. Cole sighed, he would just have to find a way to convince Chrysalis to keep Vertex alive. If he even manages to make his way back to Chrysalis without getting caught or lost that is. Levitating the unconscious changeling onto his back, Cole took a deep breath and began his escape plan for what was hopefully the last time. “I apologize, your Majesty, but I cannot allow you to pa-” a guard clad in rocky armor yelped as Cole spat slime at his face and dug his stinger into his legs. “Sleep,” Cole whispered before casting a sleep spell on the guard. The guard let out muffled shrieks and cries before eventually falling unconscious, his body slumping against the wall and his spear clattering to the floor. Cole took a deep breath before poking two nose holes into the hardening slime on the guard's face, ensuring that he wouldn't suffocate. Looking away from the guard, Cole turned his gaze down the long, dark hall that he was guarding. He thought that it led to one of the Hive's entrances as he was beginning to subtly feel the sun's heat through the soil. Looking back at Vertex who was still unconscious on his back—Cole used a heavy sleep spell a little earlier to keep him out for a while—he returned to his original, larger size before traversing down the dark tunnel. The tunnel didn't go very far, and Cole bumped into the end after only a minute of walking. Pushing against the rough barrier, Cole unceremoniously spilled out of the other side of a trapdoor, Vertex slipping from his back and landing on the hot sand. Cole glanced upward, relishing in the heat of the sun's rays as it bathed his entire body. Finally, after so long, Cole was free! Resettling Vertex on his back, Cole spat some slime on the changeling to keep him secure to his back before picking a random direction that he hoped would lead him to Chrysalis and running as fast as he could. “Do you think we’re almost there yet?” Cole asked an irritated Vertex. Vertex grumbled angrily from atop Cole’s back, “If I had known the direction we were going in, then maybe I would know where this river leads too. So, no, I don’t think we’re almost there yet.” Cole let out an exasperated sigh. He had been following this river for an entire day at this point, and his attempts at remaining optimistic were always stomped by Vertex. Ever since Vertex woke up, it had been nothing but angry grumbles and betrayed rants about how Cole was the worst person ever for doing him dirty like this. Cole tolerated it, as it was reasonable to be angry if anyone were in Vertex’s situation, but he found it unbearably irritating that Vertex didn’t see that Cole had most likely just saved his life. “Just how long are you going to stay angry? You do realize it’s not going to change anything, right?” Cole said. “I’m going to stay angry for as long as I feel like,” Vertex said with a pout. Cole snorted, “Wow, I didn’t know you were capable of acting like a child.” “I am not a child.” “Keep behaving like that and you might as well be.” Vertex huffed but decided to stay quiet and resign himself to silently grumbling in his mind. Cole cheered internally at Vertex’s silence, finally getting another moment of peace to figure out how to sever his and Vertex’s link with Seraphyx’s Hivemind. It was something Vertex would no doubt hate, but he, unfortunately, wouldn’t have a choice in the matter. Cole was on the run, and he wouldn’t be taking any risks. Cole licked his dry lips, maybe a small break to get a drink wouldn’t be too bad. “Hey, are you thirsty?” he asked Vertex. “...A bit,” Vertex replied gruffly. “Okay,” Cole said, approaching the river. “Please don’t do anything stupid.” Destroying the hardened slime coating Vertex’s body with his magic, Cole allowed the changeling to walk by himself for the first time in hours, something Vertex greatly appreciated if his long, cat-like stretch was saying anything. “Gods, that felt good,” Vertex moaned as he finished stretching his legs. “I bet, your body was shaking and everything,” Cole said with a chuckle. Vertex gave him a stink eye but remained quiet as he approached the flowing river. Cole rolled his eyes in response, surely Vertex can’t keep this attitude going for much longer. Dipping his mouth into the water, Cole moaned in delight as he felt its coolness work its way down his throat and quench the thirst his body was feeling. Stopping for a moment to breathe, Cole went back to drinking until he was positively full. Once Cole was done, he lifted his head out of the water and let out a satisfied breath. “Shit, that felt good,” he said with a grin. “I’d have to agree,” Vertex said with a lick of his lips. Then the two continued walking, and walking, and walking some more. And when they could no longer walk, they flew as far as their wings would carry them before exhaustion finally took its toll. Collapsing to the sandy ground, the two rolled over onto their backs to watch as the sun disappeared and allowed the night sky to settle above their heads. A loud growl suddenly pierced the desert’s silence, and both Cole and Vertex clutched their stomachs, groaning in pain as the lack of food and their relentless exertion over the past day and a half began to present itself to the miserable changelings. “Oh, I’m so hungry…” Vertex moaned with a grunt of pain. Cole glanced at Vertex, sharing in the same pain, but probably not as much as Vertex was feeling. Cole felt a twinge of sadness as he watched Vertex toss and turn in the sand, the growling coming from the changeling’s stomach not ceasing for a moment. Cole’s feeling of hunger quickly turned to concern as he watched Vertex whimper and clutch his unruly stomach, the growling coming from it only growing louder as the seconds passed. “Vertex? Are… Are you okay?” Cole asked worriedly. Vertex moaned, “It… It hurts.” Instantly, Cole was on his legs and holding Vertex in his hooves. Cole anxiously held the hurting changeling against his chest and tried to figure out what was hurting him. “Vertex! What’s happening!? Talk to me, please!” Cole desperately shouted. “Hungry… Hungry…!” Vertex said with heavy breaths. Vertex suddenly let out a scream, his body convulsing violently in Cole’s grasp. The holes scattered across his frame began to ooze thick, orange blood, as deep cracks spiderwebbed out from them. His wings shriveled, curling inward like a wilting flower, their once-sturdy form growing frail and lifeless. Worst of all, his glowing orange eyes flickered and dimmed, as if a flame inside him was being snuffed out. Cole's breath hitched and sheer panic gripped him as he watched Vertex’s body deteriorate before his very eyes. The once-small cracks around his holes spread rapidly, creeping along his limbs and threatening to encompass his entire body. Not knowing what else to do, Cole focused on Vertex’s last words and tapped into the love stored in his reserves. Gently prying Vertex’s mouth open with a hoof, he began transferring his own love energy into him. The effect was instant. The holes in Vertex’s body stopped oozing blood, and the cracks along his chitin ceased their spread, beginning to mend as Cole poured more love into him. Vertex’s eyes flared back to life, their usual vibrant glow returning, while his wilted wings straightened, regaining their strength. Cole suddenly felt a pair of hooves grip his own tightly. His eyes widened in shock as Vertex desperately drank in as much love as he could before finally closing his mouth and letting out a weak groan. “V-Vertex? Are you okay?” Cole asked as he continued to cradle Vertex in his hooves. Vertex didn’t respond, and Cole’s anxiety returned tenfold when he saw his cheeks puffing up. What was happening now!? Did Cole feed him too much love!? Was he gonna throw up or something!? BUUUURRRRRP! Cole froze, the sound of Vertex’s burp reverberating and lingering for a good moment. Once it went quiet again, Cole looked down to see Vertex weakly curled up against his chest and struggling to keep his eyes open. “Vertex?” Cole quietly called with a small shake. Vertex jolted, his eyes flying open momentarily before tiredly flickering shut again. “Five… More… Minutes…” Vertex muttered before passing out in Cole’s hooves. Cole stared dumbfounded at the now sleeping changeling, his racing heart coming to a slow and steady rhythm as he slowly calmed down. Clutching Vertex tightly to his body, Cole collapsed on his side again, the cold sand lulling him into a deep sleep. Rough, and cold. That’s what Cole felt when he woke up from his deep slumber. Slowly fluttering his eyes open, Cole was shocked to see that he was in some kind of prison cell. The cell was small, barely five feet wide or long. Cole was lying on a makeshift bed, the thin blanket that was draped over his body doing nothing to ward off the cold. Above Cole was a small clump of cyan slime which illuminated the cell enough for Cole to see somewhat okay. Sitting up, Cole saw that there were many cyan-enchanted prison bars where the entrance to the cell should’ve been. There was a door, though it had a comically large lock on it, and he didn’t have the key. Cole collapsed back into his poorly crafted bed with a defeated sigh. Seraphyx had caught them, and the thing he felt attached to his horn must’ve been another magic inhibitor. Testing his horn out, Cole was unsurprised to see that it could barely form even a dim glow. “Fuck…” Cole mumbled. “Well, looks like I’m going to have to try and convince Seraphyx to spare Vertex.” Vertex… Where was he…? Cole’s eight eyes widened suddenly, and he shot up from the bed in a panic. The realization that Vertex wasn’t with him sent a wave of anxiety through him, bringing a dangerous question to mind. Was Vertex already dead? Rushing up to the bars of his cell, Cole loudly shouted. “Vertex! Vertex, are you here!? Vertex!” Not hearing a response, Cole gritted his teeth and began to ram his body into the cyan-colored bars. Ignoring how painfully they electrocuted his body, leaving cracks and dark burns on his chitin. Cole continued to ram into them, hoping that they’d fall under his assault. “Freeze!” Freezing in place, Cole breathed heavily under the injuries his body sustained. With wild eyes, he looked to see where the voice came from. On the other side of the bars stood three changelings clad in armor and holding spears, but instead of the green or orange he was familiar with, these changelings had a cyan color scheme. “Back away from the bars!” the changeling in the middle barked at Cole, thrusting his spear in between the bars. Cole growled loudly, the animalistic sound that came from his throat making the changelings flinch back in surprise. “Where’s Vertex?” Cole said intimidatingly, glowering at the changeling. The changelings remained silent, taking a moment to recuperate themselves before pointing their spears at Cole again. “Get back from the bars!” the same changeling barked again. “Where is Vertex!?” Cole roared, his worry and anger beginning to cloud his thoughts, threatening to send him into a feral rage. The middle changeling suddenly thrust his spear at Cole. Seeing the attack coming, Cole sidestepped, caught the spear in his teeth, and whipped his head back. The changeling, yanked forward by the force, stumbled and slammed face-first into the enchanted bars. The changeling screamed as the electrified bars sent jolts through his body for several agonizing seconds. His squadmates reacted swiftly, however, firing small magical beams from their horns. The attacks struck Cole, forcing him to release the spear from his teeth with a pained cry, and they quickly recovered their injured squadmate and brought him away from the bars. Quickly recovering from the attacks, Cole approached the bars with a loud chitter, staring hatefully at the other two changelings checking to see if their squadmate was alive. Suddenly, the sound of multiple hoofsteps echoing through the cell block reached Cole’s ears, and he turned his head to the right to see who was coming. “What in Tartarus is going on down here?” a deep, female voice questioned. Instantly, the two changelings tending to their incapacitated squadmate bowed deeply, carefully as not to drop him. Then, the source of the voice came into view, stopping in front of Cole on the other side of his cell bars. It was a large changeling Queen, noticeably larger than Chrysalis and Seraphyx before her, and almost as big as Cole too. Her thick, light-blue mane cascaded over her right eye with the rest being draped down her neck and reaching her turquoise carapace. Her eyes were a magnificent cerulean color that shone through the dimly lit cell block, vaguely reminding Cole of the sea. Unlike Seraphyx, this Queen had no fangs, and her horn, much like Chrysalis’, was jagged and missing chunks. Her body was stockier, much like Cole’s, likely due to the added weight of her size. Numerous holes dotted her legs and mane, but surprisingly, she had only two large, translucent wings instead of four like Cole. Both wings were also riddled with holes. Finally, she had a hole-ridden, long, light-blue tail that dragged across the floor at its ends, and a crown with a singular, large cerulean bead. “Well, well, look who finally decided to wake up,” she said with a playful smile. “Where’s Vertex?” Cole demanded, his eight eyes narrowed and his stinger twitching in anticipation. “Oh, my. You’re not even going to introduce yourself? Did anyone ever teach you manners?” the Queen mocked in a domineering tone. Cole sneered, “My name’s Cole,” he said gruffly. The Queen tilted her head in amusement. “Coal? Heh, I guess no one was there to teach you manners if you named yourself after a rock.” Cole glared daggers at the Queen, his pupils shrinking into slits as his frustration peaked. “Where. Is. Vertex?” The Queen frowned at Cole, her visible eye staring at him with judgment. She sighed before turning her head toward someone outside Cole’s line of sight. “Bring him over.” The sound of rattling chains reached his ears, and his eyes widened in relief as Vertex was pushed in front of the bars. However, that relief quickly faded when he took in Vertex’s appearance. Heavy iron chains bound his fetlocks, leading up to a tightly secured muzzle. His wings were forced into an uncomfortable angle by metal bars strapped to his barrel, and a magical inhibitor was firmly fastened to his horn. Both their eyes met, and Cole’s heart broke when he saw and felt the fear in Vertex’s eyes. “There he is. Perfectly fine without a single scratch on him. Now, how about we have a civilized conversation, hm?” she said before sitting on her haunches behind Vertex and holding him in her hooves. Vertex flinched at her touch. The way she gently stroked his head made him feel more terrified than comforted. “H-Help…” he whimpered to Cole through the Hivemind. “I will, Vertex, I will. Just hang in there, okay?” Cole replied. "Now," the Queen began, "you've introduced yourself, so let me do the same. I am Queen Aurora, leader of this Hive and all my subjects. Now that we have that out of the way, let's start with a simple question—just what in Cerberus’ name were you doing following that river?" “...Running away,” Cole answered. “Running away? From Seraphyx? Hah! To think how angry she’ll be if she ever finds out I captured you,” Aurora said with a giggle. “How did Vertex and I get here? Did some of your changelings lug us all the way to your Hive or something?” “They mostly safely dragged you both down the river, but yes, they did. You’re lucky you were pretty close to the valley my Hive is in, otherwise, I would’ve just ordered them to let you rot.” Cole frowned, severely doubting she would have done that. Maybe to Vertex, but she likely would have found a way to transport him safely. If what Chrysalis and Seraphyx had told him was true, he was the first King ever, and that also, unfortunately, made him quite the catch. “What are you going to do with us?” Cole questioned. Aurora hummed and put on an exaggerated expression of contemplation. “Hmm, what should I do with you? I’ve never seen a King changeling before…” “Let me guess,” Cole drawled. “You want me to join your Hive?” Aurora gasped, squishing her cheeks in faux shock, “That’s exactly what I was just thinking about! How did you ever figure that out?” she asked, tilting her head. “It wasn’t very hard to put the pieces together.” “I suppose it wasn’t,” Aurora said with a shrug. “So, what do you say?” “...Will Vertex be okay?” Aurora nodded, “As long as it means having your cooperation, then I’ll keep him alive. Though, of course, this also means that he’d have to join the Hivemind as well.” “What if he doesn’t want to?” “Then I separate his head from his body.” Vertex let out a muffled cry, turning around and shaking his head fearfully at Aurora’s cold and casual declaration. “What? You don’t want to join the Hivemind?” she asked, her horn gaining a cyan aura. “Hey, hey! Wait a minute!” Cole shouted, worried for Vertex’s safety. Vertex screamed, nodding desperately as tears began flowing from his eyes. “You will?” Aurora asked. Vertex nodded again, “Mhm! Mhm!” Aurora looked back up to Cole, “Problem solved!” she said with a grin. Cole felt like his heart was about to burst through his chest, “You’re fucking sick in the head,” he spat. “It’s how I work,” Aurora replied, unbothered by the insult. “I’ll ask again, what do you say? Do you want to join or do I-” “Yes! Yes! I’ll join your fucking Hive, just leave Vertex alone!” Cole shouted. “Good!” Aurora cheered with a little clap of her hooves. “Now, before I let you out, why don’t you turn around and show me that stinger of yours.” Accepting what was coming, Cole sighed before turning around and raising his stinger for Aurora to see. Cole heard an intake of air, followed by a spitting sound before he suddenly felt something attach to his abdomen. Looking back at his stinger, Cole saw a hardening clump of cyan slime covering it. “Alright, let’s get you out of there.” Cole followed behind an increasingly aroused Aurora, her tail flagged upward and shamelessly exposing her succulent folds. Cole stared forward with his newly changed cerulean eyes, already used to this song and dance that he found himself in. Entering her private chambers and shutting the door behind them, Cole approached the large bed where Aurora so happily put herself up on display, resting her forehooves on the bed while her hind legs stayed standing on the floor. Her folds gushed a nice stream of her juices and winked in a slow, steady rhythm. Turning her head back to Cole, she gave him a sultry smile, “Come on now, I’m ready whenever you are~” Feeling his partner beginning to poke out of its sheath from the lewd display, Cole approached Aurora’s delicious backside. With a lick of his lips, Cole bent his head downward and began to drag his tongue along her folds and tight little asshole. Aurora’s breath hitched and she let out a small moan, “Oh~ I didn’t know you were one for f-foreplay~” Cole hummed, enjoying the salty and tacky taste of her juices. Cole then pushed his tongue inside her pussy and began swirling it inside her, making Aurora moan in delight. Pulling his tongue back, Cole gave her exposed clit some hard licks, making her shiver, before pulling back entirely. Rearing back on his hind legs, Cole mounted Aurora, his throbbing hard cock poking and teasing her folds. Aurora pushed her hips back into his cock, “Come on, big colt. Give it to me~” Cole obliged, slowly pushing his cock into her folds, stretching her out and making her groan loudly. Hilting himself inside of her, Cole gave Aurora a moment to get used to his size before pulling back to his tip and slamming himself back inside of her. Aurora moaned as Cole began to work himself into a slow rhythm, his hooves digging into her barrel and holding her tightly while his head pressed against her thick mane. Cole grunted and groaned as he drove his cock deep inside her god-like pussy, her many ridges and nubs caressed his cock, sending unending waves of pleasure through his body. Her velvety softness enveloped him in a warm mix of sucking and squeezing that left Cole wanting more. The dirty sounds of squelching coming from her pussy and her sweet moans drove him deeper into a lustful haze. But before Cole could lose himself to his lust, he pulled out completely from Aurora’s snug confines, fighting against the desperate sucking and squeezing of her insides that didn’t want to let him go. Aurora mewled in frustration, “What are you doing? Get back insi- AHH!” Aurora’s irritated sentence was cut short as Cole suddenly thrust his lubricated cock inside her tight ass, forcefully stretching her unused hole out and making her breathlessly groan and grunt from the unpleasant sensation. “Shit… so fucking tight!” Cole grunted as he shoved the rest of his cock inside of her, making her moan whorishly. Once fully inside her, Cole took another moment to let Aurora catch her breath and allow her body to acclimate to his beastly size. “I bet you weren’t expecting that, huh, sweetheart?” Cole purred in his best sexy-sounding voice. Pulling back, Cole fought against the intense squeezing of her ass before plowing his cock back inside her, making her yelp and mewl. Working his way through a slow rhythm, Cole began to pick up the pace as she got looser. Aurora began breathing rapidly, clutching her bedsheets tightly as Cole ravaged her inexperienced ass and made her cum buckets. “Fucking slut. You love this don’t you?” Cole grunted, roughly smacking her ass. Aurora yelped, “Yes! B-Buck yes!” she screamed into the air. “Do you want me to cum in you? To fill your ass up till your gushing with my cum?” “YES!” Aurora howled through an endless stream of moans. Cole growled, feeling himself reaching climax, “Then take it!” Cole shouted before driving his cock as deep as it could go. Both of them moaned in unison as Cole reached his orgasm. Aurora’s insides squeezed tighter than before, forcing every drop of seed from his cock and making him tremble all the way down to his hooves. Aurora moaned as she felt his creamy seed fill her ass, making her feel a sensation of fullness. Reaching the last spurts of his orgasm, Cole let out a deep breath before pulling out of her, his cock softening and retreating into its sheath. He smiled to himself, maybe that would satisfy her for now. He wasn’t looking forward to having to breed yet another clutch of eggs that he probably won’t see hatch. Unfortunately, Aurora wasn’t satisfied. Calling on her magic, Aurora enveloped Cole in a cyan aura and levitated him over the bed before releasing him on his back. Climbing on top of the bed, Aurora crawled over Cole and laid on top of him, taking a moment to smell his musky pheromones. Aurora released her breath shakily before gazing into Cole's eyes. “To think that brat had you all to herself all this time. Never again. There won't ever be a moment where I let you out of my sight,” she said, lovingly caressing Cole's cheek. Cole shuddered at the implications, hoping that she wasn't serious and that it was just an exaggeration. Aurora didn't let him dwell on it, as she crawled back in between his hind legs, wrapped her hooves around his sheath, and began coaxing his cock out with her tongue. Cole moaned sensually, feeling the blood pump back to his cock to make it hard again. Aurora giggled as she watched his horsemeat slowly expose itself once more, and she wrapped her long tongue around him and began giving him long, slow strokes while she engulfed his tip in her mouth. She swirled, sucked, and squeezed him with her wet mouth, coating him in a viscous layer of saliva and leaving him wanting more. Acting impulsively, Cole brought a hoof to her head and began bobbing her head up and down. Aurora hummed delightfully, the vibration forcing a moan from Cole's throat. Using her magic, Aurora began to play with his balls, stretching and gently squeezing the heavy baby-makers. “Fuck… Keep going…” Cole muttered breathlessly. Aurora grinned before facefucking herself on him, bobbing her head up and down at a relentless pace, adoring the feeling of his cock traveling down her throat over and over again. Cole's cock began to throb inside her mouth, and Aurora felt her heart race in anticipation. With a loud moan and a tight clutch of the bedsheets, Cole exploded like a fire hydrant. Aurora's eyes widened at the sweet taste of his cum, and she tightened her mouth around him, swallowing as much as she could, and ensuring that not a single drop went to waste. Feeling his muscles relax, Cole took in many deep breaths as his second orgasm ended. Aurora pulled back and released Cole’s softening cock, savoring the taste of his cum before swallowing the last bits she had in her mouth. Staring directly into Cole’s eyes, Aurora opened her mouth and exposed her tongue, showing him that not a single sticky strand of his seed remained. “You were delicious,” Aurora said, licking her lips. Aurora smirked as she moved to straddle Cole. Sitting down on his lower body, she began to grind against Cole’s flaccid cock, her heart skipping a beat as she felt it start getting hard again. Cole brought his hooves up to her juicy thighs and began rubbing them slowly, feeling the strong muscles hiding under her chitinous exterior. He groaned; if Seraphyx didn’t shatter his pelvis, Aurora sure as hell will. “I think it’s time for the main event, don’t you~?” Aurora said. Cole nodded, squeezing her thighs, “Show me what that pussy can do,” he said with a smirk. Aurora grinned and raised her hips, aimed his cock at her entrance, and slammed herself down. Both of them moaned loudly in unison, though Cole’s was more of pain than pleasure. Feeling her whole body tremble with pleasure, Aurora placed her two forehooves on top of Cole’s chest before mercilessly riding him into the bed. Her moans echoed throughout the chamber, rising an octave anytime Cole’s tip rammed into her g-spot. Her pussy shuddered and squeezed around his cock erratically, overloaded with the divine pleasure she was feeling. Aurora smiled drunkenly, her mind trapped in the moment, never wanting it to end. Cole let out heavy grunts with each of Aurora’s plows into his pelvis, the pain and pleasure washing over him at the same time and confusing his brain. His hooves had moved up to her hips, holding them tightly. Her whorish moans flooded his ears bringing a grin to his face, at least she seemed to be enjoying herself. Getting an idea, Cole began to time her descents onto his cock; and right as she was about to lift herself up again, he suddenly thrust his hips upward, wrapped his arms around her barrel, and flipped her onto her back. Aurora let out a surprised cry when she was flipped over, and she held Cole closely once he was on top of her. Both of them stopped and took a moment to gaze into each other’s eyes, captivated by the other’s features. Slowly, both began to lean forward, and their lips met with fiery desire. The soft smacking of lips could be heard through their heavy breathing. Both changelings felt their hearts race and their bodies heat up as the instinct to breed began to well up in their minds. Breaking away from the kiss, Cole rested his forehead against hers, tilting his head slightly so as to be mindful of their horns. “I’m going to pump you full of eggs,” he said, his breath hot and heavy. Aurora’s breath hitched and she held Cole tighter, “Please…” she murmured, her walls coiling around him. Cole moaned softly before placing his forehooves on either side of her head, trying to get comfortable in his missionary position. It was a bit awkward due to his quadrupled anatomy, but he made it work. Feeling another squeeze around his cock, Cole moaned and began to thrust forward, finding a steady rhythm. Aurora shuddered once Cole began moving again, and she reciprocated his care by gently rubbing his large neck fin. Cole let out a chirp, enjoying the sensation. The two were quickly lost in the throes of their passion. Every other thought vanished and their worries were scattered to the wind as they focused on this singular moment. Cole groaned as he felt the oh-so-familiar feeling of tightness in his cock, and he increased his pace, chasing after his orgasm. Aurora let out shallow breaths, anticipating the upcoming wave of his seed that was soon to flood her womb. Locking her legs around him, Aurora loudly moaned. “Inside! Please!” Cole grunted, his pleasure reaching its peak, and with a drawn-out moan, he came. Both of them cried loudly as a wave of pure euphoria crashed through them. Cole's seed flooded Aurora's womb, painting it white and guaranteeing her pregnancy as his little swimmers immediately found the nearest eggs to fertilize. Reaching the end of his orgasm, Cole gently laid himself down on top of Aurora and caught his breath. Feeling a spike of lust coming from Aurora, Cole squeaked as he felt her press her lips against his once more. Oh yeah, they were definitely going to be there for a while.
