Out of Control

In the past few weeks you had your hands full with new found lovers, in the end Chrysalis just made you shag all the Elements of Harmony.
If she made it for her own amusement or another reason you can't think of, you have no idea. You haven't seen her since...
But it also had its good sides, now Lyndwin can't get you since you are practically never alone.
You can't believe that they are okay with this, but apparently ponies are open sexually in these regards...

You are at home.
Pinkie is not here.
Neither is anyone else.
You are alone.
You take another look at that poster. That shit has been bugging your mind since you first laid eyes on it.
Who in the fucking world would put a price on your head?
This is ridiculous.
And the sum is even MORE ridiculous! One could buy an entire village with that money!
Better not tell anyone about this, someone might rat you out, and for that serious amount of cash...
You put the piece of paper back into the secret drawer...iiiit's actually just a normal drawer, but whatever. No one shall ever know of this, it's just too dangerous!
You go to the bathroom and wash your face, anything that gives you a distraction.
As you take a long good look at your reflection in the mirror you notice it. The color stopped changing. Finally, that could have been problematic if it kept doing that...
Since that encounter with Chrysalis, tiny blurry rings of green at the edges of your irises have formed.
It's next to nothing, but it's still there. The color reminds you of that changeling green, not a normal eye color.
Must be a leftover with the time you spent with your queen...
If that's so it's okay you guess, as long as no one is looking for it, it won't be a problem, it's not that apparently.

You enter the Golden Oaks Library to ask for a book, Lyndwin sits at the table with a set of her potion stuff.
The mushroom you gave to Twilight is already missing one fourth of its hat, but there are already several new ones growing in other pots.
Why is she so obsessed with that crap anyway?
When she spots you, she jumps up, grin all across her face ”Hey there boy, can you do me a little favor? I also have some good news.”
There is no reason to refuse her, she kept her toys at distance...
“Sure, what to do?” you ask.
The red griffon hands you a piece of paper and sends you downstairs to Twilight into the cellar.
“What about the good news?” yeah, you want them too!
Her attention is back on her alchemy equipment, she waves you off with a disinterested ”Later.”
Smart pony is in her cellar, even more books down here.
“Twilight?” you yell.
”Yes, over here.” her muffled shouts sound like she is far away.
Dusty tomes lie everywhere, this place looks ancient. Piles of books create a maze, when you finally find Twilight she is is digging through...books.
“Woah Twilight, did you find the secret cellar of the library?” you ask jokingly.
”No, I just don't...” she looks real embarrassed ”...Well, I don't clean so often down here.”
She might be smart, but she is still human...pony...whatever, you know what I mean!
“Lyndwin said I should give you this.” she snatches the paper from your hand and reads it in a hurry, then puts it away.

Her eyes wander back to you.
Not again...
Her horn glows for a second in a purple aura and a book you're standing on slips away, making you stumble backwards into a book pile.
She is immediately upon you, holding you down by the shoulders and giving you a quick peck on the lips ”Guess who's in a good mood.” she says, seduction dripping from every word.
You could push her off easily, but this pony is one of the few creatures in this world that listens to reason!
“Lyndwin will hear.” you say blunt.
Twilight visibly fights with herself, eyes darting to and fro between the door that leads to the griffon and you, but the reason is strong with her.
”Hmpf, alright. But make sure to visit me later!” she pokes you with a hoof while saying that. Last time you did that she tried some 'sex-improvement-magic', that was rad!
“What is Lyndwin doing anyway? She seems awfully preoccupied with her...”
”I promised not to tell anypony...iiiit's complic-”
”NOOOOOOOOO!!!” Lyndwin lets out a bellowing scream from upstairs.

You both hurry to her.
Everything seems in order, nothing is broken or is burning or exploding.
Lyndwin is crouching in front of a vial filled with a blue liquid, it looks like she wants to stare it to death!
”What happened? Did the aggregate state change?” Twilight asks her hastily.
”See for yourself!” the griffon takes the vial and holds it upside-down, the liquid doesn't move, doesn't seem so fluid now anymore “And the color is wrong too!” she adds.
”Damn it, there must be a miscalculation somewhere.” Twilight says as she walks over to her.
Before they start their science talk, you grab the book you're looking for and take your leave. And you need a good read, because you are going to take a train ride to Canterlot!
There is a certain captain you want to meet...

Two hours later you step out of the train.
Canterlot is a damn lot bigger and more shiny than you thought. Now that you think about it, it strikes you as...gay. But only a little...
But with two matriarchal princesses as sovereign it doesn't seem so out of place.
You quickly find the place you're looking for, a huge residential tower. Spitfire occupies the royal suite at the top, she must be fucking rich!
You enter through the main entrance and go to the reception, a unicorn is behind the counter and greets you “Hello and welcome, can I help you sir?”
“I'd like to visit Spitfire.”
The unicorn vanishes behind the counter and rummages through some papers, then he pops back up “I'm terribly sorry but she is currently working at the Wonderbolt Academy, she will return in two months.” he gives you a nervous smile as your hand meets your face.
Great, now you can travel over half the world...okay, maybe not that much, but it's still going to take some time getting there by train.
You could take one of the flying carriages, but that would leave a huge hole in your wallet...
Fuck.
You get back to the train station and take a train to Vanhoover, from there you will find a way to get to the Wonderbolt Academy, the mountain where the academy is located is more or less next to Vanhoover, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Just good that you got that book from purple smart, it's boring enough riding for 6 hours, let alone doing that on your own!
Maybe you should have told someone that you're going to be gone, but you didn't anticipate that Spitfire would be at the academy...
Gilda is going to be fucking angry when she finds you missing, you promised her a sex-off tomorrow, finally deciding who is the boss in bed...damn, that shit got real funny real quickly.
It feels like everything is as it should...
When you arrive at the Vanhoover train station the sun is already setting. It's a little more chilly here than in Ponyville and the city looks not like Canterlot at all.
There are skyscrapers and huge industrial chimneys, buildings everywhere as far as the eye reaches.
It gives off a darker atmosphere than Ponyville but the overall kinkiness seems to be at the same level.
You walk around looking for a place to stay overnight, Spitfire can wait until tomorrow, you are fucking tired.
As you walk the streets you see that not only ponies live here, but all sorts of creatures inhabit this city, from buffaloes over diamond dogs to minotaurs and griffons, you name it. Still ponies make out the bulk of the residents though.
You get a lot of stares...of course you do, no one knows who or what you are here.
You pay it no mind though.
Better find an inn or a motel quickly, it's getting dark.

The sun vanishes behind the horizon completely, only the street lights show you the way as the sunlight becomes weaker by the minute.
Your search for a bed eventually leads you to the dock area, there are lots of medieval ships and boats. One of them looks particularly battered, you bet that's a pirate ship!
Pirates sure are cool...
A diamond dog bouncer tries to persuade you to visit a brothel, the Red Lantern, what bullshit!
After another twenty minutes of strolling around in the cool night you finally find a cheap rundown motel. A creepy fat minotaur gives you the key to a room and you can finally get some shut eye!
About time, it started to become real cold outside.
The room is a mess, but you aren't picky, it's warm and the sheets aren't cum stained, what else does one want?
You take a shower and are about to hit the sheets when you hear some shouting, it sounds like the owner is being threatened or something.
Whatever, you have no real sympathy for that guy and you are far too sleepy to care for any kind of trouble.
Then someone stops right in front of your door, you can hear the steps, for a moment there is silence and you really want to sleep now.
Suddenly the door gets smashed to pieces, your heart makes a jump and a griffon jumps in!
A female no doubt, her beak, the tint on her feathers and the leathery skin on her arms are pitch black. The fur on her feline body part is a slightly lighter tone of black, but the avian feathers are pure white. That could be Lyndwins twin!
Her eyes are set on you.
She has a grin on her face that can only be described as crazy.
“Who the fuck are you?!” you shout as you jump out of bed “Get the fuck out, this is my room! I payed for it!”
The intruder quickly covers the distance between the two of you and pulls a saber from her belt, pointing it at your neck, her bright golden eyes are wandering up and down your body.
She is wearing a loose white shirt that is bound at the wrists and the neckline is big enough for her chest fluff to puff out.
FUCK! Is she...
“Are you a pirate?” you ask nervous.
The griffon grabs one of your hands and inspects it thoroughly ”Anonymous?” she asks calm.
You nod, better play along. A griffon can be bad enough, but a griffon with a sword!
”You're gonna make me rich mate.” she says with a raspy voice, then a diamond dog enters. He wears a similar shirt, but that's all they have in common, he has big forearms and his jaw is way too big for his face, it looks stupid when he talks “Capt'n, I think ther'a onto us! I heard something!”
The griffon lowers the blade, just to hit your face with the basket hilt a second later.
She knocks you out with that punch!
K.O.

The first thing you notice, apart from a hurting jaw, is that the floor is moving.
Then you hear the waves of the ocean.
You stand up to see that you are shackled to a wooden wall.
Light shines through a bulls eye, as you look through you see only ocean.
Fuck!
Can't be!
You got...kidnapped...by pirates?!
You scream and shout, after some time someone bangs against the door of your tiny wooden cell “Quiet in there, or you'll get a beating!”
Damn it, you can't believe it!
It happened so quick, someone must be playing a joke on you!
Fuck Fuck Fuck!!!
You rip at your binding, after some time you get tired of that and slump down against the wall, this can't be happening!
You are fucked!!!
Surely Pinkie jumps in any moment and screams 'surprise', right?! This can't be true!
What the hell is happening?

Two weeks pass.
Two fucking weeks of being imprisoned on a ship.
You are a fucking prisoner!
Your initial hopes of getting rescued by anyone are gone.
Not that they were big to begin with...
The few times they've let you out of your cell you had no chance of escape.
Where to? You're in the middle of the fucking ocean!
The griffon that overwhelmed and kidnapped you is also the captain of this ship, there is a crew of approximately 15 creatures. If it wasn't enough that they can beat the shit out of you with their bare hands, all of them are armed.
Fucking pirates. They are not that awesome anymore at all...
At least you don't have to paddle.
The captain calls herself 'Captain Blackclaw', her real name is a secret.

You hear some shouting on deck, sounds like they spotted land!
Finally! But you shudder at the thought of what Blackclaw has in mind for you...
The next day the ship arrives in some port.
One of the pirates ties you up, blindfolds and gags you and you get dragged off of the ship.
”Don't try anything.” is all they care to tell you.

”Here he is Capt'n, fresh and still alive.”
A diamond dog throws you over the shoulder, then he starts walking. He stinks terribly...
”Are we taking him with us?” someone asks.
”No, I will take him over at the inn, then get the bounty for him.” Blackclaw says, you will most probably never forget this raspy voice.
After a few minutes you get thrown on the ground harshly, it sounds like the entire crew is here.
”I'm not okay with you going alone, too risky.” one of the pirates says.
”Oh spare me.” Blackclaw answers “I know perfectly well what I'm doing, just shut up already.”
Griffon claws grab you and Blackclaw throws you over her shoulder, she is the only griffon in the crew so it's obvious that it's her.
You can feel her fluff rubbing against your face.
You miss Gilda and Twilight and all the others...
Blackclaw has a pep in her step as she carries you around, you can even hear her humming.
Sounds like she is in a good mood...
You loved it when Gilda was in a good mood...

The noises all around you tell you that you're in some kind of a settlement, why is no one helping you?
Still, better not try anything rash, this griffon will probably not hesitate to sever one or two of your limbs.
As you think about that she throws you to the ground, grabs you around your neck and hisses into your face “I'm going to fly now, if you put up even a little tiny bit of resistance I will drop you. And don't think I didn't notice you getting all snugly on my back.”
She flips you on the stomach, one arm goes over your belly to one side of your hips, the other one through under your arm across the chest to the other shoulder.
Blackclaw pulls you tight and lifts off.
Gilda used to carry you from time to time, when she brought you to her aerie, a compensation fot your leg or just when she was in the mood, when that happened she tired out after 30 minutes, and Gilda was stjori!
The flight with Blackclaw takes two and a half hours.
All thoughts of escaping are displaced. If not for the blindfold you would probably be shitting your pants, because you can feel her flying at incredible speeds!

After some time she lands and drops you to the ground “Phew, got it all in one go.” she comments.
Some people run towards you and hostilely ask “Who are you?! What do you want?! Who is-”
You don't need your eyes to know that Blackclaw is scaring these guys with her stare, it's the first thing griffons do when threatened.
”I am Captain Blackclaw of the Queen Annies's Revenge, I am here to get the bounty for Anonymous. I believe this is the lair of Ruby?” Blackclaw says sophisticated.
”Uuh, yeah. Uh...follow me.” the voice definitely belongs to a male diamond dog. Blackclaw is still panting as she throws you over her shoulder again.
You enter a building and after ten minutes of getting carried around you once again get dropped roughly. You land on a carpet and hear a lot of steps from all directions, then everything goes silent.
A feminine voice speaks “You are here to bring me Anonymous?”
Blackclaw answers “Yes, I am here for the bounty on his head.”
”Are you sure it is him? The flyer was not very detailed...”
You get ungagged and the griffon hisses into your ear while burying a claw in your shoulder “Tell her who you are!”
You waste no time to answer “I'm Anonymous...the only human. Where am I? Who-” a smack to your face shuts you up again.
”His hands are exactly the same as on the poster, look.” your hands get untied and Blackclaw holds them in front of you, spreading your fingers and almost breaking them while at it.
Someone walks towards you, you can feel a breath on your hands.
Then the feminine voice shouts right in front of you “Somedog get me Spot! And quickly!”
Spot...sounds familiar somehow, where did you hear that name?

After a few minutes someone comes running and immediately shouts with a squeaky male voice “Yes! That's him! No doubt!”
A paw rips off your blindfold and you are greeted by a female diamond dog. She has a gray coat and green scleras, she wears a black collar studded with red gemstones and a red vest.
Her eyes narrow “Did you kill my brother? Did you kill Rover?” she asks calm, but you can tell that she is boiling inside.
You had once a dream that you killed and burried a diamond dog with that name, but it was just a DREAM!
“W-Wait, that didn't happen, it was a dream!” no way, what the fuck is going on?!
Her face distorts with hatred, a heartbeat later her fist smashes against the side of your head. You hit the ground just as hard and the world starts spinning.
Rover's sister makes a gesture, a second later a bunch of guards are upon you.
You give Blackclaw a last begging look, her black and white features you will never forget. She grins and shrugs at you “Nothing personal mate, no hard feelings?” that said she follows Rovers sister and is gone.
The guard dogs put you into a dark, murky cell.
Was it not a dream?
It felt real, but many dreams do...
Shit, what in the hell is happening?
This is not good.
You may get executed if the dream wasn't a dream. But it was!
This is really bad...

You spend the night in your new cell. It's cold and wet, there is only a little bit of hay in one corner, nothing else.
This is going to be hell...

The next morning you finally get some food. It's a disgusting soup but you wolf it down nonetheless, the past weeks you weren't exactly treated like a gourmet anyway.
Then some guard dogs come and get you, they drag you through the maze like structure. It sure looks like a mine, but some parts look like a damn palace too!
You don't know what to think of this place.
You get thrown into a room and they close the door behind you. Rover's sister sits on a royal bed, everything in this room looks royal.
“Who are you?” you ask “Why am I here?! Let me go damnit!”
You look around for something you can use as a weapon.
”I am Ruby, this is my mountain and you are mine now too.” she sounds displeased.
Ruby gets up and walks over to you casually, suddenly and unexpected she punches into your gut. The next moment slump down, gasping for air.
Then she shackles your hands and pulls you to one side of the room, there she connects your binding to the wall.
It's not so different than on the ship, except that the room looks exquisite...
When you finally manage to catch your breath you ask her “Why are you doing this? What have I done t-”
”SHUT THE FUCK UP!!!” she screams suddenly, then continues a bit more calm “You murdered my brother and my cousin, is that enough?!”
This must be a misunderstanding! “I've never murdered anyone, I'm no murderer! I'd rather kill myself!”
”You fucking piece of SHIT!”
You catch her first hit, but due to your shackles can't catch the second. She hits you square on the face, then proceeds to clobber the crap out of you.
She thrashes you for fifteen minutes, luckily she isn't nearly as strong as a griffon but it is still painful.
Luckily she isn't as strong as a griffon.
Isn't as strong as a griffon.
A griffon.
Enters.
Blackclaw.
”Sorry stripling, there are too many bits in this for me.” the griffon says while shrugging.
Ruby turns around and lays herself down on her bed sideways as Blackclaw grabs you and looks at the diamond dog expectantly.
”Mash his face in!” she orders.
Your balls tighten in fear.
If this griffon hits you even once with full force, there is nothing left to mash in!

A pitch black talon encloses around your neck, Blackclaw turns sideways to Ruby and lifts her fist.
Come on, something has to happen! Something that stops this madness! A traitor! A sudden invasion! A comet! Anything!
Nothing.
Her first strike breaks your nose, pain shoots through your face and equal amounts of blood run down your chin immediately.
You scream in pain as her second hit throws your head back into your neck and breaks something else you didn't even knew existed.
And it doesn't stop.
After about ten more hits you lose consciousness, at that time you already lost most of your front teeth.

You wake up a few hours later, your entire face is swollen and the pain almost makes you faint again.
At least you are back in your cell.
You run your tongue over your teeth, confirming what you already know. Not even your canines are left, only your back teeth are mostly unharmed...
You have trouble opening your eyes. Your face is not much more than a place where pain roams free.
As you attempt to stand up you fall back to the ground, you are dizzy as hell all the time.
The rest of the day is spent weeping in a corner.
Why did you have to go alone?
Gilda would have tagged along if you showed her the wanted poster surely! Or anyone else!
You indulge in self-pity and make it to the next day eventually. Your face is even more swollen, now you can't see at all, you must look like a bubblefish.

Days pass and when the swelling died down you were sent to work in some mines, digging out gemstones for Ruby the diamond dog.
Occasionally you get beaten by her, but it is bearable, Blackclaw got paid for only one thrashing.
The loss of your front teeth isn't that dramatic since you only get that stinking soup to eat, you guess that it's leftovers from what the other slaves get to eat, and they already get only leftovers.
There is no chance to escape.

Days become weeks.
Working in the mines could be worse though, the common enemy fuses the slaves together. You've made some friends, there is even a minotaur, they cut off his horns and a huge weight is attached to one of his legs but he's a real pal.

Weeks become months.
You have no idea how long you've been here, you'd die to see the sun once more. Working underground takes its toll, you feel more and more depressed, even considering suicide...
The least they could do is put up a suggestion box, but then they would probably deny pen and paper...

More time passes.
A few weeks ago Ruby lost interest in you completely and as a result you now get to sleep with the other slaves in the slave pens and she doesn't have private sessions of beating you up anymore.

More months pass.
You lose what little was left of your sense of time. The minotaurs name is Stone Austin, he is the only one who isn't making fun of your missing teeth, that shit is a real handicap. Limping is no problem, but losing your front teeth makes you sound like an idiot.

Even more time passes.
The worst of the worst happened, Stone Austin wasn't nice to you out of pure altruism, he wants a piece of you!
He assaulted you when you were alone but you kicked him in the balls and managed to escape! The others avoid you now.
This bullshit just became even worse.
You know you can't escape him forever...

A few days after this a load of new slaves arrives.
There is even a little baby dragon! Not much older than Spike was the last time you saw him!
These dogs really have no shame!
The little guy will be at the mercy of the other slaves!
Damn it, you want to protect him but you can't even protect yourself! This place is worse than hell!

Another week or so passes.
The worst of the worst has happened, you've been friendly to the little dragon once during a meal, now he sees you as his older brother and seeks protection under your wing.
The bad thing: You don't have wings! And that isn't even meant literally!
You don't want to destroy his illusion of safety while it lasts though, even if it is just for a brief moment.

Another week in this cursed place, they made you work twice as hard.
The little dragon's name is Kiln and he is actually a she!
Kiln is a red dragon, completely covered in red scales, except for the belly side and spiky scales on her back which are golden. Her eyes are slitted and bright orange colored, almost glowing.
She is kind of a brat, but knows when to shut up to avoid serious trouble from the guards and the other slaves.

Another two months or so in this hell-hole.
Without Kiln you probably would have killed yourself by now, but you can't disappoint her like that!
You keep the 'getting beaten up's away from her, it's not something she has to witness.
You've been working on a weird tunnel, there are almost no gems and you can hear weird noises.
Kiln managed to steal an extra portion of food for the two of you!
Over the time she tells you of her home to the south, a fire spitting volcano, in turn you tell her about Ponyville and the griffons, she soaks everything up. She's a real sweetheart.
She doesn't deserve this place.
The next day you overheard some guards talking about killing a dragon, your face became pale that instant.
But you can't tell Kiln, but there must be a way to save her!
You keep her close from now on, even when working in the tunnels.

Two days later a large boulder almost crushed you. Suddenly a cold gust of air blows.
The boulder opened a way outside!
It's only a tiny opening, but still a chance!
A chance of freedom!
A way out of this damnable place!
The opening is too small for you though, so you waste no time and get Kiln!
”What are you doing?” she squeaks as you pull her roughly on one arm with you, there is no time to lose!
“Be quiet!” you hiss.
Her eyes widen when she sees the opening to the outside world. You grab her and place her in front of the opening.
“Listen Kiln, you have to leave me behind!” you tell her hastily.
”What? No! Come with me! I don't want to go alone! Please!” tears start welling up in her orange eyes, but there is no place for feelings right now.
Time is of the essence, you hastily tell her “This is not up for debate Kiln! Go to Ponyville in Equestria! There is a unicorn named Twilight! Or if you can't find her ask for the griffon Bera! The ones I told you about, remember? Or just go home! You can make it! Sorry!”
With these words you push her through the opening, ignoring all her protests, she falls away from the opening and is gone.
Even if she doesn't manage to get to Equestria, at least she is free!
You hear guards coming.
Immediately you grab a pickaxe and try to open the hole further, but it's more out of desperation than hope.
”See?! I told you I smelled fresh air! Get him!” they grab you, push you down and give you a good beating, then the part of the mine gets off limits for slaves by the threat of execution.
There is no chance to get out of here again...
At least Kiln is safe, is she?
You have no idea, what if the wilderness outside is even more dangerous?
Then you practically murdered her by throwing her out...
No, she is a smart one, some animals can't do her harm, also she is a dragon!
But now your only friend is gone...or rather free!
Time stretches endlessly as the monotonous days of working pass.
