Waking up in the warm, glowing embrace of the spectral pony, Slumber, I snuggle close, feeling her soft, lustrous fur so comfortable. Opening my eyes, just a crack, I see the dimmed light of her sleeping figure, her bones illuminated a stark black against the translucent, green flesh the rest of her was made of.

Her warm form and my barely conscious mind makes my muzzle press onto her nose. A sound of kissing escapes my lips. She wakes up with a smile, kissing me back, and pulling me close, her tongue beginning to wrestle with mine.

The taste of spring water and sweet berries meets my tastebuds as her tongue passes over mine, wrapping around mine. After a little bit of tongue wrestling, I pull my face back and smile at Slumber.

“Good morning. How was your sleep?”

Slumber nuzzled me affectionately, her body still pressed against mine, as she whispered into my ear. The noise and the closeness of her cheeks made my ear tickle and twitch.

“It was amazing, Zach, thank you. Can we do it again?”

She really is beautiful, the way her mane flows in the rocky terrain, her sparkling eyes, the whisper that begs for more; I want to do it right on the spot. I can’t however, there is work to be done. First off, I needed to get out of this cave alive and not get slaughtered by these spectral ponies. Then comes the Flutterkin liberation and getting everything equal.

“I can’t, there is too much to be done now.”

“I think the other girls should decide.I think they’d want to be in on it.”

Now my face is burning brightly along with my ears perking up. I really should get going...

“Y-you go ask them...”

Why did I just say that? Either way, the glowing mare bounces off the couch, gliding over to the door to the bedroom.

Okay, she did that. I really don’t want to go through with this idea. Right now, there are millions of ponies being oppressed by a species along with Gods that agreed to enslave them in the first place. Why am I wasting time pleasuring mares!? I should be out there, exploring, nego-

My train of thought was interrupted, by a group of mares stepping through the door and surrounding the couch with broad grins on their faces. Breeze spoke up first.

“Oh, thank you for agreeing! I promise we’ll do our best to make sure you enjoy it too!”

I yelped as Goo slid up the couch, her soft, gelatinous body beginning to massage my tense muscles. In spite of my reluctance, I felt myself beginning to rise from my sheath, and I saw length, its base a soft purple, while the half nearest the tip was a pale cream in coloration. Already, traces of precum were forming, almost against my will.

“I- I didn’t agree t- to anything!”

Unfortunately, my argument was muffled behind a thick portion of Goo’s mass, negating the effectiveness of them. Breeze then straddled my torso, her forehooves on either side of my head, resting on the arm of the couch. The soft, pink folds of her crevice were presented to me, already glistening with her juices, the strong, attractive smell hitting my senses like a hammer.

My nerves shiver as I intake a large gulp of the smells of all the mares around me. I am ready for this! I wonder what Breeze tas- No! I must fight this off! I wiggle around to break free, moving sharply to make them stop, until I feel the unmistakable sensation of a mouth at the tip of my spire, and I gasp.

My movements only serve to provoke the mares, Goo holding me tight to the bed and massaging both my balls and my sheath, all the way to the base of my shaft. Whoever is licking at my tip is an expert, swirling and swiping with her tongue.

As she continues to work, Breeze slides closer, Goo moving out of the way to let the Flutterkin mare place her deliciously-scented folds over my lips, and I instinctively reach with my tongue to taste the fluids.

It’s like drinking honeyed tea, so sweet and warm, and I shudder with a wave of ecstasy. Another mouth joins the first at my length, running a tongue along the width of it. I feel a tiny nip on my shaft, the sensation causing another wave of pleasure to run through my body, as I drink in Breeze’s warm nectar.

I can feel my wings straining to pull themselves erect, constrained by Goo and the couch, the sensation oddly erotic, driving me closer and closer to climax. As I feel a tongue dive into my flared tip, it pushes me over, and I feel a blast of my semen fountain out, the warm sensation of it running around my shaft telling me that the first mare had enclosed my tip in her mouth entirely.

Working my own mouth equally, I press my muzzle into Breeze’s soft lips, making her moan in response. Her sweet nether nectar runs over my lips and nose, sliding down my throat. Taking a daring chance, I lean a little further up, my lips sealing around one of Breeze’s nipples, making her squeal delightedly.

My heart hammers in my chest, and my hips begin to move of their own accord, thrusting slightly at the two mares busy on my shaft. So much sensation sends me spiralling out of control, splattering another round of cum to wherever its destination might be, inducing moans of pleasure from between my legs.

The sensation at the tip stops, only to be replaced by the feeling of a mare spreading herself over my tip, sliding half onto my length with a moan. I moan into Breeze’s cleft, having abandoned her teats for the warm opening between them.

I feel her press herself onto my muzzle, driving my tongue deeper into her, and I continue to feel the tongue on my shaft accompanied by the mare speared upon it.

I feel myself blast into her, and hear a chorus of moans and the slick noises of our congress, my mind slipping from cohesive thought as Goo continues to rub and massage me all over, filling in any gaps in the armor of pleasure the other mares are surrounding me in.

I think that the mares on my shaft switched, but I can’t tell, my mind screaming at me to continue until they are all satisfied, my cheeks warm from a blush and my body from the exertion. I felt another burst fly from within me, filling the mare on me as I continued to eat out Breeze.

Slowly, everything devolved to nothing, just a swirl of colors, tastes, and sensations, my gasping, shuddering exertions fading to the background, my mind overtaken by the silent urge to fill them...

I wake up, my mind absolutely lost as to where I am, what I should feel and why I feel so damn warm. I turn my head and I get my answers with my four mares laying around me, every single one in a snuggle with my body. Now I remember, I had a freaking orgy!

While normally, I’d be celebrating and jumping for joy and stuff, but I’m sore and achy all over, and my jaw hurts, though there’s a lingering, sweet taste in it, like milk and honey. My fur is matted with all sorts of juices, and so is theirs, minus Goo, who doesn’t have fur.

I can see a pair of white sock-shapes in Slumber, where I had left behind a cream-filling in both her holes. Rose had smears of white crust down her face and chest, and Breeze was laying the opposite direction from everypony else, her back knees on either side of my head.

How am I going to get out of this mess? I’m trapped within four mares, each one completely dirty with my semen. I take in a sigh, I was suppose to be out of here by now... Oh well, I can do it now! I hope I can.

Moving my shaking hooves to push the mares off of me, I feel and hear the crackling of dried cum in my fur, as I find that I’m stuck to the mares in a few places, and have to pull myself from them. The whole mound moves sluggishly, until finally I have enough room to wriggle out.

Once I am out of the... sticky situation, I look towards the door. I know this is a risk, but there were plenty already. My hoof pulls the door slightly open to produce a tiny crack. My eyes drift through the crack to see what is outside waiting for all of us.

Unfortunately, I had forgotten that the cave outside is literally black as can be, with only the faint light from Slumber’s sleeping form behind me barely revealing the field of bones on the other side of the door.

Probably not a good idea to go out there, so I close the door without making a sound. My thoughts drift to ones of a list. One, get out of the caverns alive. Two, find where the Flutterkin live and talk to them. Three, bring down Gods and pegasi at the same time. How was that going to work if I couldn’t even talk to this Rubeum!?

Sitting down and heaving a sigh to calm down, I prepare to work on finding out what I need to know. My thoughts, however, are derailed as a hoof drapes over my shoulder, and a warm body presses against my back.

“Hello, Zach. You did really well last night.”

It was Rose Quartz, her face still covered in the remnants of last night. I feel my cheeks fill with blood at the interesting complement.

“Well, thank you Rose. I personally did not want to do that though...”

My face looks down to the ground, with my ears going flat. My face burns even hotter as she nibbles one of them, murmuring around it.

“Mmm... sorry, just needed that. I’m sure you understand.”

“I do understand, because we are all going to be in danger from this point forward. We need to escape this cavern alive, then find a mysterious society and so much more.”

“Mysterious society? What are you talking about?”

Rose’s hoof stroked further down my chest.

“The Flutterkin of course. Except for Breeze and her mother, I have never seen another one of their species out here.”

“Well, that’s likely because they were afraid you would demand to have your way with each and every one of them, and then order them to burn themselves alive. It wouldn’t be the first time a pegasus has done something like that before.”

That... That is terrible. The tears forming in my eyes agree to it as well. Burning themselves alive on order? What type of fucked pegasi are they!?

“I need to stop this now!”

“And how do you plan to do that? You’d have to get Lady Rubeum to consign the treaty, as she is the keeper of it. I guess if you could defeat her or convince her to give it up... but why would she? You’re just a buck.”

Rose’s hoof begins stroking my belly, sending distracting waves of pleasure through my body, her other hoof stroking one of my wings.

“I have no idea Rose. These Gods are powerful from what I hear. And could you please stop that?”

“Stop what?”

“Stroking my wings and rubbing my belly.”

Rose just hmphed and snuggled closer, not responding. She’s still rubbing me, and it’s very uncomfortable, while also very soothing and pleasant. I try to pull away from her, but the effects she was having on my body were getting too pleasant to fight. I sit my rump onto the ground and let her work.

“That’s better.”

She slowly slides around me, her coat rubbing against mine. Her lips lock onto mine, and I moan into her. Her sweet tasting lips pressing on to mine sending waves of blind lust through my senses.

She pushes me to the stone floor, pressing herself on top of me, tongue swiping across mine. As I lay there, feeling a reaction start in my loins, I hear movement elsewhere, and see the light beginning to increase, a sign that Slumber was awakening.

Maybe there was a chance for this to stop with her waking up. The glow slowly drew closer, and Rose looks up, a strand of saliva connecting our lips. Slumber looked down at us sleepily.

“You two already going again? Can I join in on this?”

Have a threesome or go explore? It doesn’t seem to be a choice I’m going to be given, as Rose shuffles around to sit on my face, Slumber floating over to lick my tip. I watch as her transparent mouth engulfs me, and I shudder as Rose settles onto my mouth.

I try to fight off the urge to continue, as I seek to get free and continue my quest. Slowly, I fade from conscious thought, and run on autopilot, finishing the two mares. We lay in a panting mess, a thick smear of white marking out Slumber’s throat and stomach.

“Now, all we need is Breeze to wake up, then we can move.”

“Someone said my name?”

Breeze’s voice is quiet and groggy.

When did she get up?

“Well, looks like we are all ready.”

“Mmph, we going again? That was really nice last night, Zach. You did well.”

“I- I really don’t want to girls.”

The three active mares looked at me, each one quirking an eyebrow. Rose and Slumber shrug and clamber off of me, and Breeze steps over to me. She looks down at me, her wings fluttering softly.

“Alright. But if we’re going to keep going, we need to do some planning. Zach has the drive, but we should figure things out for real.”

The other mares nod, and I feel kinda left out.

“Well, first part of the plan is getting out of this cavern. Any ideas?”

Slumber looks at me, a little confused.

“What do you mean? I thought we were trying to get an audience with Lady Rubeum first?”

“I am, but there are those things that are trying to get us. Do you know how to get to her Slumber?”

“Yeah... she’s in her castle, on the roof of the cavern. Where else would she be?”

“Can you lead us there?”

“I- I suppose... But why are you asking this?”

“He thinks he’s in charge. It’s really cute. So, how do we get to the cavern roof?”

Breeze answers for me, and I feel a little insulted. Thinks I’m in charge? I thought I was in charge, she’d never acted like this before! I inject my view on this.

“What? No, we head to the Rubeum to find out what’s wrong!”

Saying I wasn’t in charge? How dare they!

“Honey, I know you want to feel like you’re contributing, but with your, ah, ‘condition’, you should probably just sit this one out.”

Breeze speaks softly, drawing me into her embrace, stroking my mane as she tries to settle me into her lap. No way! I walk backwards, not caring if I smash into anything! I need to get out of here!

“I am not sitting down when there is a race to be liberated! Your race, Breeze! I’m trying to free them!”

“Please, honey, you’re going to hurt yourself. Just sit down, and let the mares talk about it.”

“Goo! Restrain them!”

The goo pony simply stares at me, and I can only scream in frustration as the mares move closer to me. None of this makes sense! How does it make sense that the mares are ignoring me? Stepping backwards, I tripped on a rock, and I’m half ready to scream, barely keeping it civil as I talk.

“H-how about we talk this out?”

“We will, honey, and you just need to sit down, while we do.”

No point in arguing now, so sit down I do. I must say, cave ground is not the best type of seating or the most comfortable.

“Okay... I’m sitting.”

Breeze reaches over to me, putting a hoof on one shoulder. She pulls me in, and embraces me tightly, her scent comforting in spite of the situation.

“Alright, you can just sit here, while the four of us figure out what to do. Slumber knows this place better than us, after all.”

“Do I get a say in the matter at all?”

Why was I feeling shame growing within my heart? Maybe I’m not as intelligent as I thought...

Breeze just chuckled, and began stroking my mane, mumbling things like ‘there, there’ and such, as Rose and Slumber also drifted in for a hug. Finally, Breeze responds.

“Please, Zach, you don’t need to get all wound up. We can take care of this just fine.”

I accept the kiss on my forehead grudgingly, despair sitting over me as the four mares begin to talk and plan, leaving me out of it like a small child.

It makes me feel alone all over again. Same thing happened during my childhood. I was naive and childish. I grew up and became a better person. I mean, I just want to save a race of enslaved beings that are being used for who knows what! And yet... I cannot even bring myself to speak to the only four mares I have.

What was I doing? Being a child, being naive, being a failure. So what does any failure do? They hide or run. I begin to crawl away from the group as stealthily as I can. Hopefully I could silently weep in a corner.

“Hey, who’s got Zach?”

A chorus of ‘I don’t know’ s were the response to Breeze’s question. I look up from my hiding spot behind the broken, aromatic couch, and see three confused, worried-looking face searching for me, and Goo, who’s a little hard to gauge.

Oh just great! Even more shame!

“I feel so left out... Like a child that has done wrong. I just want to help your kind, Breeze.”

I can feel tears come to my eyes. This hurt. It was like a stab in the heart, getting left out of the conversation. Did they actually care for me? Oh dear, that thought hurts my heart. I lift my head up to view the mares, waiting for their response. I really hope it would be caring.

Breeze sighs, and stands up, walking over to me.

“Zach, we just want you to play to your strengths. And, well, thinking has never really been a thing for colts. Hence why most places let the mares do the work. It’s only natural, after all.”

Breeze nuzzles me as the words begin to sink in.

“I...I just want to help all of you though.”

“And you’ve helped immensely, dear, but this is a mare’s job, taking care of the stallion. It’s what herds are for.”

Okay, mares are leaders, I get that. What I don’t get is why I led for this long and then it suddenly changes once we meet Slumber. Maybe it has something to do with these Spectral ponies infecting the minds of everyone here. What if they are in my head!? I need to get out of this cavern now!

“Okay, it’s your job. Why did you let me lead for all that time then? I mean, I understand I made a few mistakes, but you took over entirely now.”

“Uhm, all you did was point in directions and start walking. At first I thought you were a pegasus advance scout, but your words at Goo’s cavern dispelled that thought. Then, we just sort of started wandering off.”

Rose nodded, and added in her own point.

“Uhm, yeah. I really only followed you because it’s your baby, and colts take care of the kids once they’re born. When we tried to figure out which way to go, we only went this way because you were the only one with any preference.”

Goo just shrugged. Wait, did she say... baby?

“Did you say baby?!”

She said baby, I’m sure of it.

“Well, yes... that’s what happens when you have sex while a mare is in heat. Why did you think I was so freaked out that morning?! I took advantage of you, and I was really sorry!”

Okay, my eye is twitching right now! How could they do this to me!? How could Rose use me like that and force me into something I have never wanted!? Well, sometimes wanted! Okay, rather wanted on several... wait, I thought it was all mutual?

Also, Rose really does look sad. She’s even gone all dull-coated again, and her usual mane do is gone, replaced with that limp look that they have when really... depressed. Okay, now we really needed a plan.

“Okay... Okay, let’s... How about we just figure out a plan on to escape these caverns with our lives intact. Slumber. Do you know of a way out of here?”

Because if she didn’t, I have no idea how I could survive without blowing up into a fireball and having my mane turn catch on fire. Or, wait... can pegasi even do that, or is that a unicorn thing?

Slumber looks uneasily at me, her eyes darting back and forth.

“Well, not to get out... but I do know how to find Rubeum! There’s a Pillarstone not too far away from here. It goes all the way to the top of the cavern. There’s probably a way the outside from there.”

There is a way out, that’s great! I stop to think for a moment, the smile I had forming falling away.

“But from there, we run the risk of getting attacked by the other spectrals...”

Slumber just stares for a moment, and I feel Goo wrap around me reassuringly.

“Actually, they don’t go near the populated areas. The earth ponies around there are really good shots with the chunks of electrum ore. That’s the stuff we can’t phase through, by the way.”

The smile was not coming back, but at least we have a few safe areas around here. Now if only we had a wall of the electrum ore.

“How close is the nearest populated area?”

“The pillarstone is only about two spires away, no too far”

Slumber’s response is quick, as though she’s figured this out before.

“Perfect. Now that leaves one problem. How do we get out of this place and reach these spires?”

How are we going to avoid these remaining spectrals? Wait... Could she get into this populated area?

“Slumber. Can you get into the populated areas?”

She nods, and I realize that they’ve all moved closer, except Rose, who is still sitting sadly off the side, silent, as Slumber continues talking.

“As long as I’m with you four... and I wear something to cover myself. You should too, it’s rare for ponies to be unclothed in the Pillarstones or when in the Roof.”

Now where did I put my clothes? Wouldn’t they be near the couch? Looking around, I see my pants on the far side of the room, in the carved fireplace, my jacket under a chair, and my saddlebags draped casually over an open door.

“Okay, how in the holy name of the world did my clothes end up everywhere!? I could have sworn it was just on the couch!”

A few moments later, my could feel the heat in my cheeks rise. I should really be careful as to what I say in front of four mares.

The four look around, Goo included, their eyes going wide as they too realized where everything had ended up.

Finally, Breeze spoke up.

“I have no idea how that’s even possible... I was virgin until I met you.”

Rose mumbled something about her second, Goo shrugged, and Slumber looked relieved.

“So I’m not the only one who started as a virgin with him? Phew, that’s good.”

Okay, wow. I even took their virginities!? What is wrong with this place!? I seriously need some air now. Where is that exit? Where is the plan? How did we get into this awkward topic!?

“Right... so, can we get back to planning a way out of here? I seriously want to feel the sun again.”

“I’ll be honest, I think his tush is the cutest part of him.”

The other mares nodded their agreement with Rose. I facehoof. Do these mares have one-track minds or what?

“Well, it’s a nice butt. However, I think his tongue is the best part.”

“Nope, his lips are better.”

“Tongue.”

“Tush.”

“Would you stop talking like I’m not right here?!”

The three mares had the dignity to look ashamed.

“Right, girls, we should get ready to go. Slumber? do you have anything you need to pack? No? Then help get his clothes on him, me and Rose will gather our things from the bedroom, and find something to wear. Goo... uhm, find, ah... Just try to... Uhm, can you clean him off?”

I was jumped by the slime mare at this request, making the others giggle.

“Goo! I don’t need to be cleaned! Get off! Please!”

This slime pony sure did feel good across my coat, but I want air and openness! This was not helping that at all! Unfortunately, my cries are drowned out by the gooey mare enveloping my face, as she did a... *ahem* thorough check-and-clean. As she pulls away from me, I stagger from the spin cycle, feeling vaguely like a freshly dried shirt.

“I-I think I need to sit down for a s-second. I... I fee- feel kinda d- dizz-”

Ow! Well. That was an unexpected fall to the ground. Jeez, Goo sure does know how to make me dizzy... Why do I feel I said that in the wrong way? Well, at least I’m sitting. I think. I might be laying on my side or back, it’s a little hard to tell right now.

Slumber walked up to me, looking like she was standing sideways on the floor. Or maybe the ceiling. Again, hard to tell. From the looks of things, Goo was just retreating from cleaning her, too, but she didn’t seem dizzy at all. How the hay was that fair?!

“Well, you look alright, even if you are sitting on your side. Here, lemme help you get your pants on.”

Oh, Celestia please don’t make her do anything to my lower areas! This was not fair at all! I just want to get out of this cave full of freaky spectral ponies! Why must I be cursed... well, not cursed, more of stuck with four horny mares. I seriously need to find something that won’t make them hot for me. Maybe I should grow a beard. Wait, do ponies even have beards?

Slowly, Slumber fumbles the pants up my legs, her warm breath exciting across my now-fluffy coat. As she tucks the pair of jeans into place, I feel myself beginning to react, and do my absolute best to quash the feelings before it goes to full size. I breath a sigh of relief as she buttons the loop over the base of my tail, and brings my jacket over.

Helping me shrug on the heavy coat over my natural one, I happily embrace the now-soft and fluffy ghost-pony, being met with a contented sigh of her own. Then, Goo jumps up and joins in, ensnaring us both in a giant hug and nuzzle.

“Now this is nice. I wish moments like this could last, but we really need to get going. I’m sorry if I made mistakes. I’ll try to do better next time such as now. For now, let’s just get out of this cave and into some fresh air. I could really use it after all of that break down.”

Gosh, have I ever smiled this large before? Hey wait, where’s Rose? It doesn’t feel as warm.

“Has anybody seen Rose?”

Slumber looks towards the bedroom.

“I thought she was in there, packing up your stuff.”

“Could you go look for her Slumber. She needs to be in this hug.”

Now that I think about it. Did I make her feel that bad that she wouldn’t even hug us? Either way, Slumber floats over to the bedroom, looking in. I hope Rose isn’t feeling too bad... maybe I should’ve apologized for my outburst. She should be fine, though, she’s able to take care of herself.

“Wait, where’s Rose?”

Well... shit.
