Slowly cracking my eyes as I wake up, the gentle light of the crystals in the cave and warmth of the moist blanket and the pony I was snuggled with making it difficult to wake up fully.

I manage it however, despite how much I was against it. My eyes look around to see the same cave, with its beautiful interior and gentle flowing river. The watery pony still lays across me and Breeze, stretched out to cover us both. Now that I have more time to look, I see a large, white stain in her, probably from me. There’s also a ball-like structure, currently rather squashed, in her middle.

Carefully pulling out of the blanket and Breeze’s grasp, I stretch out my hooves. The things still felt a little awkward to walk on, but they were working with minimal trips over myself.

Looking around the cave, I look back to the pool. Curious to see if there’s anything else in the pool, I cautiously lean over it again. Nothing leaps out at me, so I carefully drink the water. Suddenly, my mind is clear, all traces of sleepiness wiped from my mind, a faint hint of lemon taste on my tongue.

Just as suddenly, I feel the world twist and fall away, and I see a group ponies standing on a mountainside, each of the six of them bearing some sort of trinket, and a rainbow beam swirls and pours forward, smashing into the form of a larger pony. The light dies away, and the larger pony-shape is left behind, a statue of an alicorn rearing back.

The vision fades, and I’m back in the cavern with the pool.

“What the? Am I high or something? That vision looked so... real...”

My voice echoes in the chamber, and I hear the sounds of Breeze stirring awake.

My vision turns towards Breeze underneath the blanket. I trot on over to her, still slightly confused as to what that vision meant or why I get got in the first place just for drinking water.

Breeze yawns and rolls over, disturbing the goo-pony, who reforms. Breeze looks around for a moment, before looking at you and blushing, turning away again.

“I-I’m sorry, I hadn’t meant to get so, uhm, carried away by th-the moment.”

She looks utterly ashamed, as if enjoying herself isn’t allowed.

I move over to her smiling.

“Breeze, it’s okay to enjoy moments like that. Do you trust me?”

I say the last sentence picking up her chin in my hoof and looking warmly into her eyes. She looks you in the eye, her brilliant, sky-blue eyes radiating trust. She nods.

“Good. Now I have a niche for exploring this place more. There’s something more to this place since I got a vision from drinking a little bit of water.”

I look towards the pool that gave me such vivid imagery. What’s hidden away here?

“A-A vision? B-b-but, all the Seer Pools were destroyed!”

“Seer pools? What are those?”

Breeze looks at you.

“Sh-shouldn’t you know? It was the pegasi that destroyed them, after all.

I look back at her still confused. These Pegasi sound real nice.

“I’m afraid I need a refresher Breeze. The crash and all.”

Breeze looks unsure, and turns towards the pool.

“A long, long time ago, before the treaties and before the taming of the lands, the Flutterkin tended the flowering plants of the valley, and learned of their natural magicks.

“Some of them, gifted with the ability of Foreknowing, could tell the future as it stood, when given the opportunity by the gods, back when they were still just myths. In an attempt to induce the power, some flutterkin created crystal grottos, with a reflecting pool in the center, from which they could gaze into and know the future at any time.

“Then, a god came down to the valley below, and forbade the flutterkin from using their powers of foreknowing again. The flutterkin told her ‘no’ and fought back, but the god was too powerful. She commanded a legion of Pegasi to demolish every one of the Seer Pools, and to slaughter their guardians. Many Flutterponies died; for we are not a race of warriors.

“The pegasi gave us an ultimatum, that either we would surrender ourselves, surrender our homes, and surrender our freedoms to them, we would be wiped from the world. Another demand was placed, this by the god herself, Tenebrous, that we never use our magic again, save in extreme emergencies.

“And for the last five thousand years, we have kept our word.”

Rage. Pure. Uncensored. Natural. It flows through my body after I hear that tale of oppression. I simply breath hard through my nose, each breath becoming foul knowing why Breeze was fearful of everything I said. I know this isn’t right; that whole thing wasn’t right. What am I going to do? I’m only a pony with wings... I look at Breeze and only hug her.

“You... You have no reason to fear me Breeze. Hearing that makes me angry. That’s not fair to your people at all. I-I want to stop it, make things right for all Flutterkin. D-do you know how I can stop this from happening? Stop this oppression?”

Breeze looks at you, and so does the goo-pony.

“Th-there’s no way. The treaty is signed by all six of the living gods, and they hold it as law. It’s one of the few times they’ve all agreed on the same thing. Even the least of them is too powerful for an army to stop, let alone just a few ponies.”

“Maybe there are more of these Seer Pools around here that can help me. We’re going exploring now Breeze.”

She nods, and walks towards you. The goo-pony mimics her, even as she nuzzles me, causing me to be sandwiched for a moment between two mares.

I blush slightly, but brush it off quickly. There are much more important things to do. Determination fills my head, and thoughts of liberating these poor ponies. As I turn to leave, I feel something grab my rear leg. Looking back, the goo-pony is holding onto me, no longer crystal-clear but tinted a delicate lime-green. She’s looking at me with a sad expression.

I can only assume she wants me to stay by the looks of it.

“We’ll be back goo-pony-thingy... I promise, but I need to find a way to help these Flutterkin. This isn’t right at all. I’m going to set the scores even.”

The goo pony simply continues to gaze at me with soulful eyes, before snapping into a fully formed mare, and standing next to me. She makes strutting motions, like a pony marching.

“Um... Breeze, what is she doing?”

“I think she wants to come with us.”

The goo-pony nods at Breeze’s answer.

“Come with us huh? Well... I guess since there is no town around here at all.”

I look at the two mares before my eyes.

“We’re going to make this ‘god’ and the Pegasi pay for what they’ve done. By what means is to still be determined, but it will happen. Got it?”

The goo-pony just nods, and hugs you, but Breeze seems unsure.

“It isn’t just one god, even, but all six. Eosos, Tenebrous, Irroro, Medius, Perfuro, and Rubeum would all have to be convinced or defeated to nullify their part of the bindings on the treaty.”

Her voice is calm, but her eyes dance with terror.

“And they each have armies at their disposal. Each one is incredibly powerful, even the weakest of them, and many ponies worship them.”

As she speaks, the goo-pony is still nuzzling you.

“Then by peaceful means or trickery, but we will let the scales even out to let the Flutterkin free again.”

Breeze nods, then hugs me as well, sandwiching me again between the mares.

“Okay, I trust you, master Zach.”

I turn my eyes towards Breeze.

“No... no longer master Breeze, not since my race is controlling your species like that.”

“This is not related ownership, but rather rank. You are, by default, the leader of this group, and as such master to us all. Both. As such, I shall refer to you as ‘master Zach’ whenever it is needed, including when introducing you to others.”

“I see... well, let’s get out of this cave and find something that’s more civil. Hopefully no huge spiders this time around.”

Both of the mares nod, and let go of me, following me as I trek to the entrance of the tunnel. As I look back into the tunnel, wondering how I could hide it, I see that the cave is dark, and ends not far behind me.

“W.. wait girls... the tunnel is gone...”

They turn around, and look at the suddenly small tunnel in confusion. The goo pony simply turns back to me, sitting down and letting her back legs turn into a puddle around her. Breeze, on the other han-hoof, is inspecting it with a bewildered expression.

“B-but it was right here! Th-that’s not possible! If it were an illusion, I’d be able to go through it, but it’s really gone!”

Not sure of what to think, I simply walk towards the forest again. Breeze and the goo-pony quickly catch up. They follow along as I walk along. It’s early morning once more, and I’m fairly hungry. To my luck and surprise, we come across a grove of trees, bright fruit visible on the branches.

“Oooh, looks tasty!”

I hear my stomach growl at the sight of the delicious fruits and I smell their scent in my nostrils. So sweet! I begin to trot faster towards the trees. As I walk, I see that there’s a patch of strawberry plants on the ground, with luscious red strawberries in it, and even several apple trees and orange trees growing in a wide circle.

“So much food!”

Being a fan of apples, I let my legs carry me over to the apple trees first. As I look, I see that they’re all out of reach, even if I was still human and had a step-stool. Turning back, I see that Breeze is standing nervously outside the circle of trees, and even the goo-pony hasn’t entered yet.

“What’s wrong with you girls? It’s food!”

“It’s mine.”

The voice comes from over my shoulder, prompting me to turn around. A clump of grass and vines have risen up, into the form of a pony. A strawberry plant is entangled in the plant-pony’s body, forming a pair of eyes from the ripe berries, shielded by leaves and brambles.

“What right have you to trespass on my orchard, lone conqueror.”

This place just keeps getting stranger

“Uh... well... I-I didn’t know this was your property uh... sir...”

The leafy eyes narrow.

“Sir?! How dare you! You trespass on my land, and seek to steal my fruits, and then you insult me as well?”

The plant pony is nearly screaming now, and I can finally hear that the voice is, sort of, feminine. She paws at the ground like a bull, thorny spears of wood jutting suddenly from her head and shoulders as she prepares to charge.

My eyes go wide with horror and I lock up like a startled Fainting Goat. The plant pony charges me, and slams into me, only to go flying as a gust of wind knocks her away. The wind carries sparkling purple-and-white glitter, and throws the attacking pony away from me. Breeze hovers over me, and I feel a soothing warmth as the goo-pony envelops me, carrying me slowly from the battle.

This is new, I guess this goo-pony is tougher than I thought. And Breeze’s magic is strong. How did they lose with magical abilities like that?

The question is soon answered as the plant pony growls, and sharp roots spike up from the ground, one of them spearing through Breeze’s wing. She cries out in pain as she plummets, the roots retracting into the dirt once more. The plant-pony charges again, and knocks Breeze towards me, a short distance out of the grove.

“Do not return, or I shall kill you all!”

The plant pony shouts this last parting shot as she blends into a tree, disappearing into the bark like a ghost.

I run on over to Breeze’s side to examine the wing. There’s a massive gash through it, and a bright red, runny blood is oozing from it. The tissue of the wing is slashed all the way up for almost a foot, and Breeze is weeping, her sobs making her shake.

“Goo, can you possibly stop this bleeding?”

The goo pony looks at me with a tilt to her head. I gesture at the damaged wing, and she seems to get the idea, flowing around the damaged limb, though Breeze shrieks from the pain. The goo fills in the gash, tinting the goo red.

“It should stop the bleeding Breeze. I have no idea how to fix a damaged wing however. I think we should keep moving until we find more Flutterkin somewhere here. Where do Flutterkin usually live?”

I look around at my surroundings. A forest, mountains, where would they move to and settle down if they were hiding from the ones that owned them? If they lived on clouds, they could be anywhere. Maybe finding someone else who can help would be easier, but who could?

In the meantime, Goo carries Breeze, carefully transporting the flutterkin over the ground at a startlingly quick pace, matching me perfectly as I scramble through the woods. Thankfully, it’s all old growth forest, so there’s little in the way of plants on the ground, just roots and huge tree trunks.

The tough material of my pants and jacket help keep me safe from the few thorny bushes clinging to the ground, and we keep running, hoping desperately to find someone who can help.

Without warning, I suddenly burst from the treeline, into a the bright light of day. Ahead of me are rolling fields, and a town, nestled between two large hills over a stream.

“There, we can get help there. Come on, let’s not slow down!”

With haste, my legs go back to their full on gallop towards the now visible spot of civilization. My mind is in relief that there is a chance Breeze could get her wing healed up.

Upon reaching the edges of the town, I spy that there are fields of waving grain all around. Carefully circling around to find a road, I guide Goo and Breeze toward the small settlement.

At the entrance, a gate in a wooden wall, an earth pony in leather and chainmail armor tells us to halt, looking at us with suspicion.

“What is your business here, pegasus?”

The guard is a mare, but her voice is still gruff.

“W-we’re in need of medical assistance. Some creature tore a gaping hole in my marefriend’s wing, and I need it patched up.”

“Well, we don’t give charity to sky-landers, or their pets. If you want medical treatment, you’d better hope you have the coins to pay for it. Ah well, you may pass.”

The guard steps aside, and I step into the town, looking around. The houses are made of simple gray stone or red brick, and have thatched roofs. Looking around, I can see that most of the ponies here are earth ponies, which I know of well, but also a few ponies with extra legs and lots of fluff, and a unicorn wandering around. Another of the plant-ponies is sitting in what looks like the town square, playing an instrument from a bench.

My eyes lock onto the unicorn. Okay, unicorns do exist. I walk over to it.

“Excuse me?”

The unicorn, a fancy-dressed stallion, looks down his muzzle at me.

“Get out of my way, you ruffian, I have no time for talks with military types.”

Military types? What? How does that even happen?

“Uh sir, I’m not military. I’m looking for the medical building.”

“What are you blathering on about? Get out of my way at once!”

The unicorn shouts, pushing past me. I turn my vision towards the plant-pony thingy then walk on over to it. I also approached with trepidation as well.

“H-hello?”

The plant pony turns towards you and smiles calmly.

“Yes, winged one? Do you wish to request a particular song?”

“N-no, I’m actually trying to find the medical building so my marefriend can get a little treatment.”

I am now getting worried. What if we didn’t have any coins at all?

“I’m afraid there is no medical building. This is just a small town, after all, but there might be an apothecary who might be able to sell you some healing potions. Or perhaps one of the town healers...? I suppose either one would be expensive, but the healers would likely be the cheaper and more immediate.”

The plant pony speaks with a gentle, calming voice, but it isn’t helping my mood as the meaning of the words sink in.

“W-well, is there anywhere I could get a job? I really need the treatment for Breeze here, but have no funds to pay for it.”

The plant pony shakes her head slowly.

“I’m sorry, but I doubt there’s any place you could get coins quickly, unless you have something of value and someone to sell it to.”

Could we use the gems in the mine? No... we’d need to drill those out. Dang it.

“Well, thanks for the information anyway ma’am.”

My voice is now more saddening. How am I to fix Breeze’s wing?

“Fair Weather and Open Roads, winged one.”

The plant mare goes back to her playing, strumming the strings with a set of roots growing from her hoof. Trekking through the town, I ask around some more, but find no-one who can or will help, and things begin to feel hopeless.

Deciding to check one more place, I walk up to a small shop, the sign entirely ambiguous. Stepping up to the door, Goo and an unconscious Breeze behind me. I rap on the door, smacking it with my hoof three times.

For a moment, I hear nothing, am disappointed, but then the sounds of things moving and pots slamming together as hoofsteps head towards the door. After a moment of waiting anxiously, the door opens, a crystal pony with a triple-colored mane and a pink coat answers the door.

“Y-yes? How can I help you?”

She sounds tired and a little confused.

“I-I’m looking for a little work Ma’am”

My own voice sounding tired as well.

“Work? Whatever for?”

“I need a few coins for some potions for my marefriend here. Her wing got busted up badly and needs it.”

“What?! Oh no, that’s awful! I can do something about that, actually, bring her in!”

The crystal mare shuffles inside and begins winding around piles of stuff, making obvious the clutter of the small house. The house smells like home, and a little... spicy. You’re not sure what it is, but something smells really good in here.

Goo carries the unconscious Breeze inside, carefully maneuvering her wings safely through the door. Stepping past the stacks of stuff, I find myself in a relatively clear living room, and see the crystal pony picking up a mug of something steaming and setting it on a table with only three legs, the fourth corner being held aloft by a stack of books and a vase on top of them.

“S-sorry, I was making some hot chocolate when you arrived, I find it helps in my current- uhm, right, anyways, you mentioned your marefr- Oh, my.”

She cuts off as she sees Breeze, and steps closer.

“I-I thought she was another pegasus! I haven’t seen a Flutterkin in all my life! And a Slime-pony, too!”

She begins rambling, listing off observations and ideas as she circles Breeze. I stand awkwardly off to the side as the crystal mare seems to snap out of it, rushing off into what you presume is the kitchen.

I look over to Goo with worry in my eyes.

“Is it me, or is this pony sort of scaring you?”

Goo just looks at me. Suddenly, the crystal mare returns to the room, now wearing a green sweater and carrying a bottle of glowing pink fluid. She sets the bottle down and turns to me.

“Can you wake her up please? She needs to drink this as soon as possible, before scarring and permanent damage sets in.”

As the mare speaks, you notice that her mane and tail are now done in a smooth, simple style, the three colors laying perfectly next to one another. Her coat literally gleams in the soft candlelight, and something about her just seems... intoxicating.

“S-sure thing ma’am”

I move my body over to Breeze’s and tap on her lightly, being delicate to not touch her wings at all.

“Breeze, wake up. We have somepony that can help with your wing.”

Breeze shudders and turns slightly in Goo’s embrace, and through more coaxing I finally wake her. Her eyes are dull with pain, and she doesn’t speak, but she’s awake enough to take the potion.

Upon downing the glowing liquid, she winces again, and holds herself, moaning in agony as the wing visibly repairs itself, stitching back together before my eyes. She screams hoarsely as the last of the tear seals shut, nothing but a twisted black line showing where the injury was. Goo, now very red from all the blood, carefully helps the shivering flutterkin to her hooves, and she leans against me.

“She should rest, I have a guest bedroom upstairs. Then, if you’d be so kind, I’ll need to discuss payment with you, please.”

The crystal pony speaks in a calm voice, with a reassuring smile on her face. After helping Breeze to the room, the crystal mare takes me aside to another room, bringing the cup of hot cocoa, and introduces herself as Rose Quartz, and I introduce myself as just Zach.

“Please, drink, you look exhausted. Can you explain what happened?”

I take the drink with thanks, and begin to explain my tale, except for the part me being human, as that would only make the story more confusing, rather than less. She nods and gestures when I pause, and when I get to now, she nods and smiles.

“I was wondering what was going on, with a pegasus helping a flutterkin, but I suppose if you really do care, it makes sense.”

All this time, I’d found myself sitting closer and closer to her on the bed.

“But please, I’d like to know just one thing. While I’m not going to charge you for saving that mare’s life, I would like to ask a favor. If that’s alright?”

Her eyes sparkle brightly in the low light, and her coat looks so luxuriously soft, and she smells so good...

“Go ahead and ask for that favor, I feel I owe it to you since you helped me and Breeze out”

Her smell fills my nose again which makes my cheeks burn a crimson red. Why was I getting even closer to her now on this bed?

“I-I would l-like it if y-you could... could...”

She simply leans forward and plants a kiss on my muzzle, her tongue sliding into my mouth. Strangely, this doesn’t upset me, and I can feel a need to remove my clothes. I pull away from the kiss and tell her I need immediate removal of my clothing.

She eagerly darts forward, her teeth catching on my waistband as she pulls at my pants, and I feel her hot breath on my sheath. Her quick movements prompt my wings to open on their own with a soft ‘pomf’. She giggles, and her breath causes my spire to rise from its sheath, the purple-based tube of meat mottling to pink as it raises above her, and she finishes removing my pants. Instead of helping me remove my shirt and jacket, though, she simply gets onto the bed, and leans forward, her rump in the air.

“P-please, take me!”

She’s moaning in anticipation, and her sparkling tail raised and twitching to the side. The delicious aroma of her plot wafts into my nostrils, and I take a deep breath on instinct. My wings held out to either side, stiff as boards, I prepare to mount her.

I rear up to my hind legs which felt more natural to me then standing on all fours and proceed up behind her, putting my forehooves onto her shoulders and giving her neck delicate kisses and licks to warm her up.

She moans and presses against my belly, and I can feel her warmth all along my underside, even through the jacket, as she wriggles her rump enticingly. As I kiss her again on the back of the neck, I feel her thrust against me, grinding her flower against me, my shaft under her as she rubs against its length with her delicate folds.

The teasing of my member sends a little chill through my entire spinal cortex. Moments later, my resistance gives out and I slide myself straight into her crevice, the tight wraps of her crystalline insides gripping me perfectly, firm and strong.

She moans and bites the pillow as I press into her, and I feel the suction of her flower pull me back as I exit and return, slamming into her again. The steady rhythm builds and builds, and she groans into the pillow as I pump in and out of her, her body clenching and holding me even as I pull away, only to come back fill her once more. We move in perfect tune with each other, animal grunts and moans our only communication as lustily help each other to climax.

And climax we do, in perfect tandem, and I fill her tight tunnel, flooding her with my seed. She gasps and clamps down on me, and I climax again, pumping her full of my warm, flowing essence. We collapse together, many climaxes later, and simply bask in each other’s presence, as I feel my member slip out of her.

“Th-th-thank you, Zach. I-I needed that... so bad...”

She nuzzles against me, and we fall happily asleep together, her form spooned up against my chest.

Author's Note

Yet again, thanks to Hunterz263, starring as Zach!

Once more, please tell me of any issues, I want to fix them ASAP.
