//-------------------------------------------------------// Twilight and the Fair Knight. -by CorporalPunishment- //-------------------------------------------------------// //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three: A Visit From Royalty. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three: A Visit From Royalty. As you wake up for the second time, you realize you are stuck in a world of candy colored ponies. You're not going to go back home, there's no going back, there's not a single thing to bring you back, the Human from earth is stuck on land mysterious and dangerous to him. with a sword. That's comforting, you need to sharpen your sword though... dull means for less use, sharp means you can use it. but, what's that's that sound, it's talking, "I jus' dun know Raritah, ya gots some fancy smancy knight in shining armor up 'ere... what's so cool 'bout 'im?" you stand up and take your sword belt up, moving to the door just as it opened you are... 'face to waist' with an orange pony wearing a stetson. "Good morrow to you" you say as you crisply bow your body about half way from being parallel to the ground the pony frowns and removes her hat as she looks up at you. "Mighty fine mornin', iffin' I got any say in it. Names Applejack, I help run Sweet Apple Acres. You're the knight?" she nodded a bit as she eyed you, and the sword. she seemed a bit unnerved so you stooped yourself down to kneel before her. "Yes, I am. I am Sir Anonymous. A pleasure to meet you mi'lady. I believe I have given your farm business in the day past. A large red pony, short on words, but a nice enough fellow." you nod and offer a hand palm up to her she grins and takes your hand, giving a rowdy shake and then looks at Rarity whom had been standing in the doorway, "I like 'im, An' I think ya met mah brother Big Mac." You smile a bit as you remember a burger of the same name. as you remember you think about how there will be no more big macs, or any burgers unless you slaughter it yourself. and your stomach rumbles the ponies look at you and cock their heads to the side and Rarity titters, "Oh, how silly of me, We haven't had breakfast yet, Come Anonymous, we should talk about this over food, Would you join us Applejack?" you stand tall and move to get new clothes. "Rarity, I cain't say no to that offer, I'd like to talk to ya' more,"She says addressing you for the latter part, "and stayin' 'round means I get to talk." she nods and places her hat back on her head and then moves away, as you get your clothing and gather it up you say to rarity. "I'll be down in a moment, Just require wash. Thank you for the room and board, you are truly generous." you reach down and gently stroke her head, avoiding her horn, in case it's sensitive or a lewd display, Rarity smiles and gently pushes up into your hand as you pet her. "Ahhh, Dahling, it's no issue, You're a gentle-pony and have no place to stay. now then, I'll be heading down." With that she turns and struts down her stairs as she moves away, you turn toward the bathroom and find a running water tub, a a brick of soap, you sigh, begin to run a bath and strip yourself, setting the sword to lean on wall beside the tub, you move into the rising water slowly, a gentle warming feeling moving through you from your feet to your chest as you sit in the smaller tub. A wash cloth in your hand, you begin to lather and turn the water off, as you wash your hair, that has already grown out a bit, getting about two inches longer than you think it should be to it's a bit harder to keep up with, maybe Rarity knows a barber. Or at least a person with scissors maybe she does. she did design your clothes, as you finish lather soap into your hair you duck your head under the water and close your eyes, shaking your head under the water, you raise up and look around. finding the door slightly ajar, you raise an eyebrow and slowly raise out of the water, pulling the plug on the drain and taking a towel from a rack and drying off your head and then your shoulders, you almost swear you see a bit of purple at the door, you stare as you dry yourself, once finished you put on your under clothes and then the pants and boots, tucking the pants into them and pulling the shirt on. You grab your belt and head for the door as you open it you find, nothing, as you look around, you affix your belt on your waist and make your way down the stairs. moving to the kitchen you see a plate of muffins set out. You smile and sit at the table, picking one up and taking a large bite out you quickly find it gone, and then look at Applejack and Rarity, both smile a little, Applejack seems more friendly than when you first met her. "So, Anon-ee-moose What kinda name is that?" "It means I have no name." You nod sagely and lean back and smile a bit as they nod, "I awoke in Princess Twilight Sparkles basement... Sword still raised as I was fighting for a maiden's hand at a local fair, a beautiful woman's hand was to be won by the man who could stand his ground agianst a large hedge knight, so named because of lower birth, training, and equipment, very tenacious." You take another muffin, "And when I came to in her basement, I had forgotten my name, but could remember everything else." "Well, Ain't that just the cats ME-ow!" Applejack grins and chuckles. "That's got tah be the best story I ever did hear." "Well, Thank you, I pride myself on my memory." You nod, setting yourself determined you slowly stand and nod to the both, "And I must go, I believe I should see the Princess Twilight Sparkle, She had said she was contacting other Princesses I believe I should see her and visit upon that affair." you bow, "I shall return." "Tch, ah, well darling, stay safe." Rarity nods and applejack turns to her, muttering something you can't hear as you leave. stepping out into the warm sun you begin to walk towards the large tree in the middle of the town. knocking on the door you smile at the little reptile that greets you, "Oh, Sir Knight. What's up man?" you smile and reach down to pat his frill. "I am seeing how Princess Sparkle has been, and you as well." you nod and step in, boots clacking on the wood of the tree, "Where is she?" "In the basement again... She got a letter earlier from the Princesses. I think it was about you." he nods and points to the basement door. "Princess Sparkle?!" you call down the steps as you walk down the dim stairwell. "I was told you recieved a letter, Was there any mention of me?" the answer is short and sweet. "Yeah, Come down here!" she seems excited you hurry down and find her prancing happilly about, "I have wonderful news! You're going to be going to Canterlot with me, as my personal escort!" she smiles and dances from hoof to hoof. "That is wonderful news. When do we leave?" You nod, standing at ease hands clasped infront of you and feet at shoulder width apart. "Today! I was planning on seeing you soon, you're at Rarity's... Right?" "Yes, Correct, and I should get my armor affixed, And Princess Sparkle?" "Please, Anonymous, call me Twilight." "Princess Sparkle." "Twilight." "Hm, Twilight. Do you happen to have a a grinding wheel?" "Uhhmm... I could find one if I had the time. What do you need it for?" "My sword is a bit dull, cannot be a bodyguard without a properly sharpened weapon." "Alright, See the blacksmith three streets and a left from here. Tell him it's royal business... give him this." She floats a sigil to you, it depicts Celestia on one side and and Twilight on the other, "It's worth enough Bits cover ten suits of armor like yours... so tell him this is the lifetime payment for you from the princess." "Thank you Twilight, I will get done soon." You turn around and hurry out, heading back to the boutique you go to the pink room and retrieve your armor from the chest and fix it on, you then take the helmet, fixing it on you move down to leave and hear Rarity, "Hmm... Sneaking out are we?" "No mi'lady, Royal business... I am to escort Prin- Twilight while in Canterlot." "Hmm... Am I invited to join you all?" "I do not know. Perhaps you could ask Twilight? I must get my sword sharpened. so I need to hurry." "Alright, I'll see you on the train deary." she grins and trots up the stairs, probably to pack. you nod and leave, heading for the Blacksmith shop. you reach it and find a blue pony with a short burnt ochre tail, he's a unicorn with a flat head and long horn. his stare at you burns... you pull your sword and place it on the shop counter, "This sword needs sharpening and polishing. Royal business, this is your payment, for your lifetime." you say as you pull the sigil out and place it down. His stare moves to the fancy piece and he raises his eyebrows. "'l'righ' ya got yerself a deal..." he then levitates the sword out, "I want it sharper than dragon claws." you call as you watch him leave. "Tha's mah specialteh!" he calls back. "Deliver it to the train station." you leave before you hear a reply and move to the library, Rarity and Twilight waiting for you. "Shall we go now then?" "I believe so." twilight nods as she levitates her luggage as she walks on, rarity doing the same and giving you a bag, "Your clothes, deary." she smiles and then you all move on to the train station. as you board the blacksmith gives you your sword, wrapped in a dark red cloth, as he gives it to you he nods, "Shined it up all pretty for you." "Thank you, I'll give you all my business." "Yeah, yeah.." He calls out as he leaves. "Don't make me go bankrupt..." you can only chuckle as you move back to the group and sit down, your armor clacking and rattling as you move to sit, puling your sword from the cloth taht wrapped it you notice the deep shine placed on it, and the gleam of the blade as it reaches it's sharpened sides, you grin and feel the weight as you do every time you draw or examine it, it's always the same, But the sword feels a bit more balanced somehow. you look at the hilt and find a small sun charm dangling from the hilt, you swear you can see a faint glow from the center. "Princess Sparkle... Why does my sword have a charm on it?" You move and show her your pommel the charm fixed onto it. "Oh! that's the mark of Celestia. that means it is a perfect blade, the charm itself is enchanted, it makes the weapon act as if perfectly balanced. and strengthens the wielder while under contact with the Sun." she nodes and leans down to her own bag, "I believe there are other charms for each princess... Luna's should do the same as Celestia's except for the moon and darkness. Cadence's, I think, makes the blade stay sharp forever. and strengthens the blade itself. and mine... of course increases the magical prowess of the wielder." "Ahh, I thank you my Princess." you nod and smile to Twilight, though she cannot see under your helmet. you bring the charm to your helmet and press it to the forehead, then you bring your sword back down and slide it into your scabbard. "Oh, Uhm, Knight Anonymous, the charms can only be on one at a time, but if you wear a charm, as a necklace... it also gives it's benefits. slight different but mostly the same." She nods and then crosses her front hoofs on the table in front of her, you nod and lean back into the chair. "Princess, How long does the train take?" "Oh, it takes... several hours... feel free to sleep." "Thank you, my princess." you pull your helmet and smile to her, you notice a bit of a blush form on her cheeks at the compliment, you smile and then lean back, getting comfortable in the cool cabin of the private royal train car. as you drift off you hear hoof steps and a polite, "Princess, would you like a snack?" you hear no answer as you fall asleep. dreams of armor that shines like fire dances in your dream. "Anonymous... darling... please do wake up, we're at the Canterlot train yard." you stir and sit up standing suddenly and stretch a bit to work your kinks out , pulling your helmet on you pick your tower shield up, Twilight graciously kept it as you didn't want to wander Ponyville with it. you grip the shield and heft it up you make your way off the train before Twilight, you are her knight of course. as you raise your shield and look around, hand gripping your sword handle as your slowly draw it. "My Princess... the train yard seems to have no hostiles... stay close, I assume the top of the mountain is our destination?" you motion for Rarity and Twilight to follow. "Ah, yes." Twilight nod and motions to Rarity for her to follow. As you walk, you look at pony's that give you odd looks and continue to walk, slowly making your way to the castle steps the royal guards slide their spears in front of you until they notice Twilight and Rarity behind you. "Princess Sparkle!" you exclaim, snapping to attention and presenting their weapons, "It's an honor to have you visit once agian! What is the beast that wanders ahead of you with his weapon?" "Please excuse him." she smiles to the guards. "He is my personal guard... A knight of his... land?" She looks up at you and cocks her head to the side. "Yes, Princess Sparkle... My land... the Realm of... Pangaea." You nod, remembering an old name for the world. "Oh, what a lovely name." She smiles and then looks to the guards, "Thank you for your worry, men, but We need to see the princesses..." "Please, don't let us stop you Princess." the royal guard salute now. "Princess, shall I lead the way?" you look at her and slowly shift from side to side, your armor grinding on itself a bit as you move, Twilight nods and trots up ahead of you. "I'll lead the way. Please sheath your sword... We're safe in the castle grounds." "As you say my princess." You nod and sheath your sword. as you make your way to the throne room. you see a fat griffon waddling down a hall opposite to you all. he must be a diplomat, you had heard Griffons and ponies had a tense relationship, there was a war about it and everything... allot of ponies and griffons died. "Anonymous... please, kneel when they stand." Twilight says as you reach a large golden door. "Twilight, I know what I am doing." You say this as you move ahead of her and push both doors open with a hand each, you then move to the bottom of the stairs, drawing your sword as you do so. making the guards take a cautious step forward, they relax as you place the sword tip to the ground and kneel with that directly in front of you. you look up from your low point. you see two ponies about the same height as you... when standing, with large flowing manes and tails taht seem to follow a nonexistent breeze, their horns look like the classical interpretation of unicorns. Both of them are looking at you with a smile, and a pink pony cocking her head to the side. You lower your head slowly and call to them. "My honorous princesses, I was told by the wondrous, Princess Sparkle you beseeched me a meeting." you bow your head again. the two larger princesses now smiling at each other. The largest white one steps forward and calls to you. "Rise, Knight. Indeed, we asked our Princess Twilight to let you know we ask of you to come with her and ask as her bodyguard, we thank you for doing such. and now we ask for you to step out with miss Rarity while we speak to Twilight about an issue that is pressing... could you?" she smiles the sweetest loving smile... your charm matches the mark on her rear. She must be Celestia. "I shall leave at once Princess Celestia." you nod and stand, sliding your sword into its scabbard, "Thank you for gracing me with your luscious presences, All of you." You make a deep bow and walk out of the throne room. to Rarity. who bats her eye lashes at you and grins. "I heard... Would you like to visit an art gallery?" she must have some ulterior motives... "I think that we should wait for the Princess." You don't think this is such a bad idea... she's a bit odd. and she was probably trying to show off the new being, but you are her bodyguard... and a knight. and so you wait. and when you are done waiting... you wait more. as you about to slip into sleep again the door opens and Twilight steps out, looking a bit dejected, she looks to you and nods. "Celestia and Luna want to talk to you." "Yes, Princess." You nod and move into the throne, finding Who must be Candance gone and the Dark and white ponies left. "Princesses... You wish an audience once more?" "Ah, Yes, The new species. We wish for you to assist the Elements of Harmony in their new mission. Changlings have assaulted a town on the outskirts of the badlands... We wish for you to assist them in what will be a dangerous mission." Luna steps forward. she speaks more too the point than Celestia. and she seems to have an accent... perhaps that is Old Canterlot? "Yes Princess, it will be done." You bow agian and set yourself strong as Celestia frowns. "If Any of my precious ponies are injured by you, You'll know the reckoning of the sun that has no ending." she seems much taller than you now... you nod deeply terrified on the inside. "As I said, princess. It will be done." you nod. "Princess Luna. If I may make a request, may I have a charm of your emblem?" "I regret to inform you that the charms have only so many made before they are distributed, to have one is a high honor. Royal armorers use them though. I wish you luck.I hope you enjoy your first royal mission." "I understand... thank you for your time... I shall set out with them at once." "Good bye, and good luck... keep our little ponies safe." They both say at the same time as you leave. you move to Twilight and nod. "So, The Badlands?" Author's Note Thank you for reading my story, I am sorry if the update came slowly, I was rather busy with things, but I am not dead, I will try to put the next chapter out, next week. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three-point-Five: Love, Lust, Magic, Lies. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Three-point-Five: Love, Lust, Magic, Lies. As you step onto the train you find the rest of the Six ponies... two you have not met yet. a cyan pony with a rainbow cutie-mark and hair... and a yellow pony who is hiding as you enter... she has a long pink mane and tail, they're both waiting, you slightly tense relaxing when you notice Applejack, and Pinkie-pie. "Ahh, Miss Apple, Madame Pinkie." you bow shortly and move into the Train car, "I take it you are... Miss Rainbow Dash?" you nod to the rainbow pony and then look to the last one. "She is Fluttershy? Element of Kindness?" "Yeah, Question is what are you...?" Dash flutters her wings and stares knives at you. "Some kind of statue thing?" "Good heavens no! I am but a simple human being, I mean no harm, I am the knight whom to Princess Sparkle I am sworn to honor and defend, For the good of all!" You pat yourself on the back for that and then move to the door of the Royal Train car. "Princess... Shall I escort you to your chambers?" Twilight looks at you and nods with a smile, looking to the others with a nod she trots over to you. "Oh, yes, Lead the way." you nod and begin to move down the enclosed train connector, moving into the lovely furnished train car. "Princess. I am sorry for tearing you from your friends." you pull your helmet off and frown. "Anon... It's Twilight... Remember?" She smiles as you take your helmet off. "It's fine. you're charged with protecting me... and it's still your first day. I like you though... you're exotic... large, I do actually believe a Minotaur is only a few inches above your height." she nods as she trots to the bed and looks it over. "You don't have a bed to sleep on do you...?" you think you see her shake her flanks a bit. "No, I do not... Twilight, Why?" you move to the table in one end and place your helmet down, leaning your heavy shield on the wall. "I want you to sleep in this room." she grins at you. "There's only one bed--" you find yourself shut up as you see her laying on her back with her hind leg spread wide. "I know. I want my knight to pledge his loyalty to me..." she stretches her wings and give you the best bedrooms eyes she can... tail swishing on the bed sheets slowly."I want him to want and need me." she blows a little kiss to you. "Surely you can't be serious...?" can't help but stare at the Princess' tight hole, a glossy finish is defiantly visible. She wants you to lay with her. you actually feel yourself hardening at the sight. "I am serious, Anonymous, now please, get your armor off and come rut me into next week." she quickly begins to magic your belt and gauntlets off, then she begins to magic your armor straps. you can't resist turning at all gives her a better line of sight on what she is working and you can't touch the light pink magic that is pulling your armor off until you are in your underwear. "Come on, Anonymous... your princess is waiting." you feel your feet moving weightlessly, no matter how much you fight it. she is moving your feet for you. "Twilight... Can't we." you find yourself shut up as she makes you kneel by the bed, your face being shoved to meet her crotch, your tongue tasting the smell of orchids have. she puts her hooves on the back of your head and pushes you in. "Mmm... Show your princess how much you love her Anon... maybe she'll return the favor." she has taken a completly different personality, her actions are strong, you don't wish to fight this. You want this. You NEED this. you can only do as she tells you, licking her slit, the moist lubricants she leaks on you sticking to you and making you smack your lips, your hands move to her flanks and you give them a loving grope, licking clit as it winks out at you, "Ooooh!" she groans and you feel no magical influence on you. You just can't pull your mouth from her pussy, your member is throbbing hard as you inhale her scent and taste. "Mmmmpphh..." you try to speak but no noise is comprehensible from her her hoofs lift off you head. "Anon... I'm going to lie on my stomach, I want you to mount me..." she pushes you away and you tear your clothes off as you wait for her to tell you to proceed. "Alright..." she says as she wiggles her rump, those plump flanks spreading as she positions herself for you, you stand and grip her thighs and move behind her your thick spear lined up to pierce her cunt. you groan at the warmth you feel from just rubbing your tip on her. "Ooohh... My princess." you groan and lean over her and quickly thrust into her feeling her tense and tear you lean back up and look down to find a small bit of blood seeping around your member, you lean back over and kiss her on the lips awkwardly as you slide in more, her tightness enveloping you, you can feel each little area of her marehood grip and milk your cock as you thrust deeper until you reach your hilt, pulling back you then thrust all of yourself back in. "Ooooh. My Celestia!" she calls out as you take her virginity and then begin to ram her, she finds her head being pushed into the bed as you push on her with your powerful thrusts, her eyes roll back as you hump into her, her folds squelching as you drive yourself deep, as you continue, you feel twilight contract and seize up on you, a loud yelling moan escaping her as she collapses under you, she then rises back up, pushing into your thrusts. "Mmmm... Yeah..." "My Little Princess." you groan into her ear as you pull out and then flip her over, so she is on her back again, her wings splay out and her legs twitch as you thrust deep in, you can see the blush brightening on her as you make eye contact with her as you lean to kiss her, your thrusts making her squeal as she feels you hilt over and over. warmth and wetness constricting and tightening as you feel yourself work up to the beautiful crescendo, You're thankful you are in shape. As you reach a hand down, brushing her hardened nipples on her stomach you find her clit putting your thumb on it you rub slowly, leaving it alone you decide to then tweak her nipples. "Mmm! Oh! Anon!" she calls as she reaches her peak again. "I love you!" she groans as she kisses you back. forelegs wrapping around your neck and her back legs try to grip you as well, but can't, so she settles for hugging you, and you respond by kissing her with more force, and hilting more powerfully into her. "Mmm, Just like that!" you must have found a sweet spot so you try to thrust just like you had, finding your edge quickly approaching. welling up. "Mmm, Princess! I'm so close..." you groan into her ear as you break the kiss. "Fill me... Celestia just fill me up." she groans back and licks your inner ear as you nod and find yourself nibbling on her long furry ear. you reach your peak and with a groan you shudder and fill Twilight with your hot, thick load. resting a bit looking at her... her horn glows and you become clear headed, remembering what you did... you cna't help but gasp a bit and stare wide eyed at the sweaty, blissful looking Twilight panting under you, You wanted this... You needed this... No regrets. you move down and kiss Twilight Deeply. "Twilight..." you look into her eyes. she eeps and looks at you. "Yes?" "I love you." you then kiss her again, rolling over so she is on top of you... her wings wrapping over your shoulders. you slowly slide out of her marehood and rest like that. soon sleep over takes you and your lover and charge, Princess Twilight Sparkle of Ponyville. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Four: Warm Sand, Cold Steel. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Four: Warm Sand, Cold Steel. Waking up you find yourself still naked, but thankfully under your blankets, wait... not your blankets, these are Twilight's. so it wasn't an oddly arousing dream. well... it's time to get up anyway. as you stand up you hear Twilight say, "Oh, Anon you're awake!" she then magics a plate of waffles into your lap. "Enjoy!" You shrug a bit and tear into the waffles, they're so moist there's no need for syrup... would be good still. but soon feel the train stop and you quickly stand up and look outside to see a small town with the train tracks bisecting it. you pull the underwear you had on before, and then the chain mail tunic on and then you work on your armor, you're getting better at putting it on yourself. finally your sword belt goes on, with your helmet on you lose yourself to the persona you have created for the Knight you are supposed to be. "Sir Anonymous of Pangaea." you turn and find Fluttershy standing in the doorway. "Oh, I'm sorry... Rarity told me your name... and well, I was wanting to say you're nice... I think, Twilight seems to like you." "Ah, Thank you, I promised to all the princesses that I would keep all of you safe. and I will." with that you clap your gloves together and move to take your shield up and turn back to Fluttershy. "I take it we have arrived?" "Oh yes, We're going to begin to go into the badlands after we visit with a water caravan to secure out packs of water." "Alright, I suppose I'll carry most of it?" "Oh no. we have someone for that." she nods and then turns and trots out, "We're going to go now, Feel free to stay behind and get ready!" you look over yourself and find that you think you're acceptable. so you begin your trek out, with the ponies, and after a big of haggling from Pinkie you get your water half off and a free two liter. which made you a bit pleased to learn that soft drinks still existed at least you had that bit of happiness and familiarity to the world you came from, taking a chug of the pony cola, reminds you of sitting with your family. Watching the television with your family, having conversations with your dad... the day your mom died, you helped them cart her out. Not that they need the help, but that you wanted to say your last goodbye. You bring the bottle down from your lips and look at the seven ponies... you let a single tear fall as you see none of them are looking, this day is either going to be bad or really bad, walking in hard packed dry salt flats is not as fun as you'd believe, not that you ever believed it would be fun. "My Princess... Erhh, Twilight, How much longer do you believe it will be until we arrive at the changeling -- hive?" "Yes, hive, the changelings are an insectoid race... they feed on emotion, Love being the most powerful, any emotion will feed them, however, Love is much like canned food. It has no expiration." She nods and looks back to you, you had replaced the cola bottle on the water ponies back, he nods and simple continues on. "Anonymous," She now slows and gets beside you, lowering her voice. "Do you love me?" "Yes! Why?" you look at her and raise an eyebrow. "Did... Did what happened make it... harder for me to be your bodyguard?" "No- yes-- I don't know." She sighs and leans into you, "Would you marry me if I asked you too Anon?" She stares up at you and smiles a bit, you can only stare down at her. "Twilight, it's very soon... maybe... after we get to know each other better?" "Uhh... uhm, okay." she nods and then raises herself up a bit and smiles, "We should arrive soon... we've been walking for several hours..." "Heh... you all have been walking, The dash is gliding, this ground has a great updraft." Rainbow, the oddly cock-sure Element of Loyalty grins at you all, you can swear you can see the stains from the shit eating-ness she displays. "Now, Rainbah, that just ain't kind... ya ain't gotta rub it in..." "Yes, dahling, my mane might frazzle if I keep walking like this." "I like this place, it'd be great for a PARTY!" Pinkie pie is now sitting on a cloud floating beside Rainbow, before falling out of it and bouncing from her rump onto her legs. you look at Twilight, who shrugs her withers and then looks back ahead. "Well... I believe we should do as the princess wishes. as much as I wish we could find a place for me to wash my armor... and my body." you mumble the last parts as you keep walking, as Twilight wanted. though after an hour of walking you notice pony sized burrows in the ground and you see a giant ant hill in the distance. "I believe this is our destination?" the guide/water pony nods and then chuckles. "Yep. but I'm afraid you won't be meeting our queen." all the ponies look at him to now find him black and with a cracked horn, bright emerald glowing eyes, and a snapped dragonfly wing. "You're all quite valuable." as he says this, many changelings crawl out of the burrows surrounding you all soon, Twilight is the first to speak up. "Everyone... don't fight... I'm sure something will help us. just, let's be peaceful..." you all comply, you simply because you don't want to shed blood yet. they might just send you back... but why take you all the way out here...? you stand still, shield resting on the ground as you stand now. "All you 'cept the armored thing come with us... the armor has it's own use." and with that you changelings take to trying to lead you, the majority of the changelings leaving with the mane six, the water-pony stands in front of you, "Come with us peacefully and you'll lead a prosperous live fighting in our pits." "Hmm... I believe that is a no." and with that you move to kick a changeling in the face, the one that is pushing the hardest on you, as you pull your sword you ready your shield, remembering all of your training you watch the four changelings and the larger water changeling, move to you, the one you kicked looks a bit angrier and the tip of his horn is snapped off. as you lower your shield you bring your sword around and stab towards the closest changeling, his chitin meets your sword and you push, finding a slip in it you slide deep into its chest, green blood flowing from the wound, as you pull outward from his body and smack a changing changeling in the face with your shield you feel the magical green flow around you and the heat of his hit flow around you, your boots get warmer and a little bit of soot replaces the sand caked on the plates that meet the green fire you slide your shield away from it bringing your sword down towards its neck, a glancing strike on it's chitinous exoskeleton. Your sword bounces off and you stumble away, finding a changeling bucking your chest plate, though no dents form, you find the air leaving you and you gasp suddenly your helmet being pulled off your head by a green aura, adrenaline rushes through you as you remember they will kill you if you fall. this is no skirmish, this is battle, you quickly force yourself to recover thrusting your sword hard in front of you to the changeling, your sword finding its eye and your arm pulls to the side, ripping it's head open, green blood and a deflated eye flopping into it, and your next move truly devastates the changing you had previously kicked you bring your shield edge down, locking it's head down to the sandy salt flat as you stop down, finding a surprisingly pleasing crunch echoing about through your foot, brain matter and blood splatter about, your boots will need a serious cleaning after this, if you survive.But this is not the time to worry about that, you still have two left... two, you can take them! your heart pounds from the adrenaline that flows through you, your eyes dart around to pick up every little detail the last normal changeling seems to be ready to leave. Can't let him do that... you drop your shield and charge and bring your sword down, cleaving the head and part of the body clean in half, spinning around you turn to the last changeling, the water pony... and growl. Charging forward and bringing your shield up you hit him in the head, and stoop up to kick him in the throat, he stumbles back with all of your attacks being leveled towards him, his magic revs up and grips your shield and tosses it away, landing several yards away you are left without an defense, so you take your Long sword up in both hands, and begin pacing around him like a predator, when he makes the first move you can only step away from his magically enhanced charge, letting him slow and turn back, on his second charge you bring your sword back and swing upward as he passes. You feel your sword rip from your grip and you connect and find yourself back first on the ground, getting up slowly you find your sword burred deep in the breast of the changeling. Green blood pooling around it, as you place your boot on the dead being and pulling up you remove your sword and move to retrieve your helmet and shield, once they are back on you begin to move into the city of the changelings, beings without identity. as you move you don't stop as you simply slice and cut any foolish Changelings down, any fear for yourself gone as you remember the Princesses words. they will blame you if you return without them. "TWILIGHT!" You call out and find the tunnels alive with scampering now... though they are blocking all but one tunnel and aren't moving, so you follow the tunnel they mark... not wanting to waste time, as you follow you find more tunnels blocked off. They're leading you somewhere. you come across a dead pony though, skeleton all that remains, you find a small charm with a crescent moon being the only charm, and the spear it had was still... sharp, so you keep the tip, snapping the old rotten wood was easy as killing seemed to be now. but as you continue through the tunnel now, you find a room with a small throne with a larger changeling, must be the queen. you might have heard something about that before, you were trying to talk to the queen when you all set out. "Where are my friends?" you speak slowly and keep your visor down, finding the blood splattered on it to be more intimidating than your face alone. so you ask the queen of the Changelings, she giggles and stands moving to you and placing a hoof on your shoulder. "Oh, they are safe... for now... now do as I say, and be a good prisoner and I'll let them go... as are the rules we all follow." she seems to taunt you with her words. and so you do the only thing you know to do at this moment in your anger. "Your highness... I believe you forget one thing..." "Oh? What is that my little weak deary?" "I don't play by your rules." you say this lowly and drive the blade of the spear you recovered from the dead soldier pony in the cave right into the queens heart, you feel her blood flow over your leather gauntlet and onto your wrist. staining your metal green. as you lift your visor and stare her in her crying eyes you twist the blade. "I'll enjoy turning your head in to the princesses." "It's.... not fair." she gasps out with a light, weakened sob, her eyes slowly losing their glow as life fades from her. "It's fair for me... I kill monsters." with that you toss her down and pull the blade out,and move to cut the now dead queens head off. turning around you walk to the tunnels and hold the head high above your head. "I KILLED YOUR QUEEN! RELEASE ALL PRISONERS AND YOU WON'T ALL DIE!" you yell this and find every changeling scrambling to leave, and release prisoners. old ponies scramble by and then the Mane 6 find you, head sitting by you, "Good to see you all, Shall we leave?" "Anonymous... did you kill them?" "Yep." you nod and stand up showing the head off, Fluttershy hides behind a wall as a drop of blood leaks out. "Now... I have a present for Celestia. I think we should get going..." "Yeah... alright... we should get a bag for that..." "Potato sack." and with that you all head out to walk the badlands, you dragging the water supply behind you, Your muscles ache by the time you reach the town. the water company upped and left the entire town... so jobless ponies picked it up, and when you board the train you immediately pass out, still in armor. You don't wake until Canterlot, after a wonderful talk from twilight about what you did and why you did it, the only thing you can say is "I did it for my princess." and she only responds with a blush. shambling through Canterlot, blood stained and groggy still, you find yourself walking into the throne chambers tossing the head into the room and walking in. "Are you not entertained?" you hold your arms out wide, kicking hte head the last few feet into the room, "I did as you asked... Changeling aggression should stop, I kept the Elements safe... and revealed a changeling in your town... now. I'm going to go clean up and sleep." you leave before Celestia, Luna, nor Cadence can raise an objection. and go to the room twilight told you was her suite. and begin to wash your armor, yourself, your clothes, and yourself again, then sleep. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Five: Shining Armor, Tarnished Honor. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Five: Shining Armor, Tarnished Honor. You awake to find yourself tucked into bed, twilight cuddling into your side, you like this. you gently move your hand up Twilight's back to rub her head and you say to yourself. "What did I do yesterday?" looking down you see your chest has a large bruise forming on it and your face feels like got hit with a frying pan. your toes feel like you walked on lava and your arms are so sore it truly hurt to reach to pet Twilight. you feel her stir and find her looking at you. "Good morning my knight." she smiles and you feel a wing slowly flow over your, nude body to rest over your chest. "Good morning my princess.... How long has it been since we left the badlands... I forgot to make sure you all were alright, but we did walk to the train again... is everyone alright?" "Rainbow sprained her wing when she reached the surface, but all in all we were fine. Thanks to you." she leans up and kisses you deeply, her tongue running on your lips, you open your lips and begin to wrestle her tongue, hands moving around her and gripping her flanks pulling her onto your stomach, it may hurt but she's the one being you've shared yourself with... the one you feel you can share yourself with, you love her. you have been here only a week. and are already in love with a horse, err, pony. "I couldn't let them hurt my favorite ponies. even if I don't know half of them, they are good ponies. I can tell." you smile then hug twilight to you, "So then, What is on today's agenda?" "Well. Pinkie is making pancakes." "How can you tell?" "I just know... she always makes pancakes when we visit Canterlot." "Well, I suppose I should go get some then." "Would you bring me my plate as well?" "Sure." you reach down and ruffle her already bed heady hair as you stand up and forego any clothes, walking out nude and into the kitchen you immediately have two plates shoved into your hands, a tray placed in and then two large glasses of milk on the tray. Pinkie standing on one hoof in the middle of the tray the food placed around her hoof, here eyes locked on yours. "HERE YOU GO NONNY!" "Nonny?" "That'syournicknamefromme!Ialwaysgivemyfriendsnicknamesandyourmyfriend--" "Yeah, I got it." you nod and smile as she climbs down you turn around and find rarity in the doorway, staring at your naked body. you have gotten even more muscle mass since the last time you were even close to naked, you think you're about at your maximum, but that doesn't help clear up the fact Rarity is staring at your package. doesn't she know ponies walk around naked all the time? "You okay Rarity?" "I'm... I'm fine dahling, but, you're naked and... exposed." "Exposed... what?" "Your... member, is... well, visible." "It's always like that, I don't have, uh, a sheath, like you ponies do... I think." "Oh, so it's always, out there?" "Yes." you nod and move to walk towards the Royal suite within the royal suite. as you pass rarity you feel her eyes follow your ass you walk, walking in you place the tray over twilight and then crawl into bed beside her and put the tray on you , her plate floating over her lap. glass floating with it, you then begin to eat, the perfect pancakes seem to disappear into your gullet, you were hungrier than you thought. "Wow... Those were some good pancakes." you chuckle and look at Twilight, who is around halfway done. she stares at you, grin on her lips. You return the grin, "I truly Love you Twilight." "I know." she scoots closer to you and puts her sticky lips to your cheek, and then runs her tongue over the syrupy spot to clean it off, her tongue is incredibly warm and wet. " And I love you Anonymous." you respond by turning to her and kissing her on the nose, and then moving the tray to the table beside the bed and moving to cuddle into her side, an arm resting behind her back. "When should our day start?" "In ten more minutes." "I'll start my shower then." "Alright." You move to the bathroom and squat under the water as you wash your still sore but slowly recovering body, after your wash you find a mirror and find that you have a bit of a stubble growing. your hair having grown longer since you last checked, you'll need to cut it, or put it into a... ponytail. you can't help but chuckle at that as you walk out of the washroom and grab your suitcase, after getting clothes out, cotton pants, a loose fitting white shirt and your stained boots, blood, salt and soot stained forever on them, you sigh, at least it's green and not red. you step out of the bedroom as Twilight rises to begin her routine. finding Rainbow dash sitting on the couch in the main room reading a book. "Hmm, Miss Dash, I never took you for the book type. What is it you're reading if I may ask?" "Oh, it's the new Daring Do book, I dunno how much you'd like it... seeing as you do this kinda stuff, or.. did it." "Let me guess, Pony travels the lands plundering villages for riches and does not give respect for authority?" "Kinda... It's about a treasure hunter doctor that--" you cut her off and nod as you say. "Gathers treasure for their museum and fights against a powerful antagonist from equestrian past?" "Wow, Yeah, how'd you know?" "My land had a parallel... His name was Indiana Jones." you chuckle and move to sit beside rainbow. "How have you been since the rescue...? I'm sorry if my appearance disturbed you." "Bro, I've had to deal with worse... I'm glad you killed her, she scarred my favorite filly for life... killed a kitten." Rainbow nods and looks down, placing a bookmark in the book and setting on the table and looking at you. "Where'd you learn to fight? I mean I know your world... but who taught you?" "Oh, I was a squire to a knight, I followed him and learnt from him and when he retired... or in my case, died. it was during a..." you trail off, trying to make it seem a bit more realistic than what had actually happened. it was a heart attack that claimed him, right during a battle. no one knew what to do and paramedics were too late. "An evil sorcerer cursed him during a battle, and he told no one, and decided to pass his knowledge to me, of all people, and during a battle, the killing blow being laid before him was struck good by the sorcerer's words, I took his sword as he told me to when he died. and I used it to hunt down the sorcerer and killed him." You had done that. that made you realize that any person can die. and you wanted to stop your death from happening earlier than it should, you began to work out more, cut fatty foods out of your diet. the death of your best friend made you healthier... in truth it prepared you to visit Equestria... you were already fit, and had your sword. the sword he made himself. and now you had to survive this land. "I hope this answered question." "Yeah, sorry to hear about your teacher." "I've gotten over it, He was a good man, and I remember him, that means he is never truly dead." you nod and then stand. "Where is miss Fluttershy?" "Oh she's in her bedroom still, I can get her if you need to talk to her." "I don't need her right now, I was going to ask her about a supply of meat." "You eat meat? but Rarity said you ate bagels... and you eat pancakes." "I'm much like a bear... I can life off of fruits and vegetables, but Meat is the best food for my kind." you nod, "I can controll my hunger if the supply is low." "Cool, well... Pinkie's still in the kitchen... You should talk to her." "Alright." You walk into the kitchen and smile at the pink party pony dancing in place as she watches a cake bake. "Good morning Miss Pinkie." "Oh, Hiya Nonny!" you move to sit at a small chair and table watching the pink pony bounce in place. "Pinkie, What is there to do in Canterlot?" "Well... there's a club that I know the owner... DJ, bouncer, bartender, and floor manager of! It's just off the many road by two blocks and a donkey punch!" "Alright... I suppose I'll check it out." "Oh and there's a gag gift store near the club!" "Alright..." you stand and walk to the stove and kneel down to look into the stove, seeing several cakes baking. you then move to leave, before a tittering stops you and turn to see Rarity staring at you from her door. "Come here." she whispers to you, you comply, slowly. "Yeah...?" you get to the door and are pulled in and tossed towards the bed before you can stop her, landing with a creaking and bounce. You then find Rarity on your chest. "Take me." she growls in your ear as she grinds herself on your groin, you stare at her and say as simply as you can. "No." and then pick her up, light little pony she is. holding her at arms length you set her down and walk to the door. "Why not?" she looks at you, angry and desperate. "Because, I'm already taken... a princess." you nod and look at Rarity, "I'm sorry." you then leave, before the water works of rejection can start. leaving now, you then find you forgot your sword belt and go back in quickly and grab it and put it on. now you can leave. with Twilight following you... wait... Twilight's following you?! you turn and stare at her. "Princess! Should I go get my armor?" "I'll help you put it on." "Alright." _________________________________________________________ After getting your armor on and leaving again you walk with Twilight. "Where to my Princess?" "We should visit the princesses... Luna and Celestia... Cadence felt she was no longer needed and returned the to the Crystal Empire." "Do I answer for killing a known Equestrian terrorist?" "Yes actually." "Figures..." you sigh and continue to walk from the Royal suite and make your way towards the throne room, the head is gone, you'd expect that, why did your brain pick up on that first? "Anonymous, good you could come. would you come before us and our sister?" Luna speaks, she ahs a gentle kind vocie. very sisterly. it makes you comfortable. and so you come before them and kneel. "As you know. we should be... perturbed for your actions when delivering the head of Queen Chrysalis to us... WE would be thankful if thou explained thyself..." "I killed the terrorist known as Queen Chrysalis..." you look up at the name to find them nodding, "And I delivered the head of her to you... I was deprived of sleep and exhausted when I came from Canterlot. I apologize for any behavior that was questionable." "You smacked the rump of a guard and called him fluffy when you left... and shouted an expletive when you kicked the head. you also cracked the horn off and tossed it into the royal garden... We expected better of you... but you kept the Elements safe. and placed yourself in danger when rescuing them..." Celestia speaks now, a crisp, mother like voice, she sets you on edge making you uncomfortable at the stare you feel your helmet top is getting as you return your gaze to the ground. "Once again I apologize... That is all I can offer." "Your honor has suffered from your actions. your armor shall be cleaned only once you complete a quest for solely you..." "What is it...?" "Return to Ponyville, it will be easier to reach from there..." "At once." You stand and bow to them as you turn and look at your stained boots and gloves, palms of the leather gloves facing up you see a smiling face formed in the blood, it makes you sick to see it. You then return to the Suite, inform the Elements of your plans you set out and reach the train station again, with a train waiting for you."Do you all have a personal train?" "Yes." "Good to know." you chuckle and walk aboard, getting ready to waste several hours of your day waiting to get to Ponyville. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Six: Hydrophobic Pool Party //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Six: Hydrophobic Pool Party -Several days after events of previous chapter- You awake in your bed, well, Twilight's bed with her cuddled to your side, her horn is pressed on your neck, you wiggle and lean away only for her to cuddle deeper into you. As you push her gently she flutters her eyes and stares at you. "Why'd you wake me?" "You were gouging me..." you chuckle and sit up and pet her, feeling her wrap a wing around your waist. You chuckle and run a hand over her head, smiling down at her cute little pout. "Can you stay in bed for a while?" she smiles and lets out a little squeak you feel the ice that never actually existed around your heart melt. You smile and pet her cheek her horn sparkles a small bit as she leans up to kiss you lovingly. "I suppose so Twilight." you chuckle and scoot back down into bed, relishing the feeling of the satin sheets on your bare body. You slide to hug Twilight to you, pulling her onto your body, running your hands over her coat, you tickle her wings bases and kiss her on the lips quickly, lightly gripping her wings and massaging slowly, her breath catches as she moans into your kiss. Her forelegs wrapping around your neck, her soft coat rubbing on you as she gently grinds her nethers into your hips. ”I love you so much Anon…” she mutters as she nips your cheek with her lips, your hands are now firmly planted on her cutie marks, lining yourself up you grind yourself on her entrance, her soft moan makes you even more determined to tear her up, and as you make your first quick plunge into her depths the door is immediately kicked open by none other than the number one assistant, and what would you know, he’s got a scroll, judging by it, it’s royally signed. You make eye contact with spike and continue your thrusts into twilight, spike stands there slack jawed as you grin at him, hands holding Twilight down as you keep your current course of action spike just stands there, not able to remove his eyes from yours. You find yourself gently biting Twilight, her moans grow in volume and in their beautiful crescendo you wrap your arms tightly around her. As her core tightens on you, you kiss her neck slowly and hold her still as you finish your own work. Looking back to Spike you lift your blankets off your arms and motion for him to just put the letter down and leave, he can’t move it seems… oh well at least it was hilarious. You slowly pull out of Twilight and let her slide onto her back on the large bed and stand up, showing the dragon your muscled body you move to your new wardrobe to the left a mannequin that was once a ponnequin and was altered by Rarity, standing with your armor strapped to it. “Spike, that’s from the princess, Right?” You look back at him as your slip into your underwear, pulling your protective vest and pants from the wardrobe you turn back to him as you begin to slip the leather pants on. He finally can form a sentence. “I, uh, Yeah, w-well… YEAH! Yeah it’s from the princess.” He nods quickly as you move to your Armor stand, strapping pieces on, starting with the vambraces and working until you got to your chest piece, “Well… Read it aloud. I’m getting ready for what she’s going to be having me do.” “Oh, alright,” he coughs and unrolls the scroll, “Sir Knight Anonymous, We apologize for interrupting your loving moment with Princess Sparkle, but, we have your task. You are to seek out a certain Time Turner of Ponyville. He has an important task for you. Keep your wits about you and you will return alive. Please, for all of the distaste my sister gives you, I would prefer if Princess Sparkles chosen prince stay alive, so please do stay alive. Signed with earnest trust, Princess Luna.” Spike sighs and looks at you as you finally slide your helmet on. “So, Time Turner, where’s he at?” You continue to walk with spike as he leads you to Time turner's house and workshop, he worked with clocks and watches, as you walk, you begin to reflect on what you have done and what brought you here. You have killed the queen of the changelings, met with princesses that told you to keep your princess safe. but truly, why are you not as scared as you should be? You should be terrified of what has happened to you. but you can't feel scared. you feel happiness from all that has happened you love it here. the danger makes you feel alive. Rodger, the name of the Knight that taught you what you know in the way of fighting and most of your life skills used to teach you things in a way that made you think he actually believed in magic. Now that you have seen it, can't help but chuckle, his teachings have served you well. His legacy lives on as you use his teachings. You bump into Spike and shake your head as you look to your left towards the forests that feel so evil and dark, no ponies go into the forest for more than a couple hours at a time. usually they come sprinting out. that seems more often now. Even Fluttershy had seemed put off at the forest when you last visited her to get your week's worth of fresh fish, Twilight had taken it upon herself to see if Human kind could really cast magic like you had said, without a catalyst or horn. You were getting exhausted of the tests and remembered Fish was a brain food and was full of protein, much better than the various vegetarian substitutes you were provided. Peanut butter was good but the amount you needed for all of the protein you needed to train and march with that armor so much was sickening. Even peanuts made you go green now. You were getting off topic with your thoughts. You look down at spike and then finding him okay return your gaze to the forests, seeing an area that seemed stomped and trampled, trees laid crumbled, broken, gnarled, and twisted. you look ahead and see the house you were looking for, large clocks sat on the porch, in the windows and hung from posts it actually looked beautiful. you march to the door and give it three solid knocks, as you look down the door opens and the town's mail mare, Ditzy Doo answers. "Oh, hey there! you're the knight that stays with Twilight, right?" "That I am." "You don't get mail but you're Knighty Sword right?" "Ah, No, but thank you for the guess, it warms my heart to have a pony give me a name that befits a pony." you look up a bit and see the clock worker standing nearby the Mail worker. "I'm actually here on orders from Princess Luna. May I come in?" "Ah, yes, Ditzy dear. Let the nice man in," He smiles, he has lightly refined English accent, "Would you care for some tea while I talk to you?" "I would not mind at all to have some." you step into the house and remove your helmet, the uncleaned armor contrasts deeply with your well groomed body, your stubble still present, ponies had razors and you shaved but you preferred to have a bit of hair on your face, you felt it added to your ruggedness. you move to sit on the raised mantle of the fireplace, and grab a side table, carefully moving it to a bit closer, and you look to see the blonde pegasus mare trot back in with a tray held in her mouth, her face was scrunch cutely. "You wanted tea?" she seems to have a coffee maker and a teapot on the tray. "I have coffee if you like it more!" she nods and moves to pick the coffee pot up with her hoofs, effectively burning herself, you rush to assist her, and you prevent the coffee from spilling anywhere by grabbing it with your leather glove.you nod as you look over the little blisters that formed quickly as you motion for Turner lead her away and help her. You treat yourself to a cup of the most delicious coffee you've had in years. and that's saying something. You wait for Turner to come back before sitting back down at the fireplace. "Mister Time Turner, I take it you have a job for me to complete?" you take the final sip from your coffee and set the cup down on its plate, the stallion nods and looks down the hallway where he left Ditzy, you see her float in slowly with large bandages wrapped around her forelegs and a bucket of ice in her mouth she sits down and puts the bucket down and jams her hooves into the bucket. "Yes.... Well, there is a hydra that had exited the woods recently, it passed by my home and soon then it left the area... thankfully I don't live as close to Ponyville as I used to. so it shouldn't have gone through there... unless it did. I truly hope it did not. " he nods and nervously fidgets as he pours himself some tea and takes a sip. "It thankfully did not. but Princess Luna has tasked me with taking care of it... so I suppose I should follow the wrecked path?" "I would believe so," He nods and stands, "I take it you are leaving now?" "It would make it easier to track it sooner to get out there now." "I trust you know about hydra's" "I can kill it I'm sure." "Alright..." he nods, a light grimace on his face he trots to the door. "be safe Knight. I hope you stay alive. please take care of it." You stand and move out sliding your helmet back over your head and nodding, "and you stay safe as well Time Turner." "Please... there are some who call me... Time." he nods. and bows. "hurry now and you may have it before the day is out." You nod again, this time turning your back to him and begin marching to the broken path, it is easily fifty feet wide. you gape at the size of the beast you are going after. this was definitely going to be a tough kill, you reach into your hip pouch and pull a necklace with a small star burst out, Twilight gave it to you. she said she made it herself for you. a mark to be worn, you place it under your breast plate, hanging it from your neck. you smile as you feel the trinket press against your body. you then look to the sky and give a loud bellow, and begin to slowly jog into the marshy ground of the broken Everfree forest. Within the broken Everfree you have to jump trees, sometimes sliding under them others you must go around the broken shafts of, thankfully the path is mostly a straight line, you sigh as you wipe muck from your visor once again. as you stop you hear a loud growling and a howl. you ready your weapon and walk in a circle working with limited visibility you turn to the closest movement and see your target, a large brown wolf... it's timberwolves... the smell that wafts to your nose makes it noticed immediately... it's blood soaked wood and rotten meat. You ready yourself as you feel the wolf charge into you, knocking you off your feet and onto your back thankfully your armor prevented the bites of the beast to do anything more than give you a scare. You position yourself so that you can fight back from your knees, taking a lull in the attacks to remove your helmet. You can see what may kill you now. The timberwolf has to be four feet tall at least and it's stand suggests its going for broke, you ready yourself as the thing jumps at you, landing on your shield, it's claws keep it on, it then leans over your shield to bite and growl at your head. You feel it's teach graze your forehead and then your nose, Warm blood trails over your flesh and pain flashes your body as you jump to your feet and pin the timber wolf under your shield and bring your fist into its head several times, the sad yelping stops and it disintegrates into sharp twigs and leaves, you look at your fist and look down, the last breath of the wolf brought a sadness you couldn't understand as you take your helmet up and place it on a tree branch to get later. Wiping blood away from your eyes with your dirt gloves you set back down the path, each step getting harder as the mud gets deeper and thicker. Soon you're wading through it. You have to leave your shield hanging because it was simply slowing you as you had to drag it through the mud as well, you are without means to guard yourself now. You continue trekking thankfully the path seems to stay this level of mud not getting deeper. You move more about half an hour more and you then hear a loud growl and rumble as the next hundred feet of mud seems to lift up, a crab shape exposes itself. You ready yourself, gripping your sword with both hands as the hydra reveals itself. The thing is large, it's scales are an odd brown. the mud around it is also that color, but it's under belly is yellow and it's eyes focus on you. It has four heads none of them share a neck thankfully. so you can safely assume that cutting a head will not make it regenerate. While you were marveling it takes a snap at you apparently it's depth perception is off and it missed, barely. You felt the air rush off its body. You bring your sword down with a sickening slurp and thud you reach the bottom of the neck and cut the head off, it pulls it's neck away. Dark black goo shoots from its neck as it roars in pain, the wound closes and two smaller heads replace the one you removed, You growl and bring your sword up as it snaps again, this time impaling the head that snapped, you feel the sudden weight of the beast as its head goes slack, though the head nearest to it begins to chew the neck that went dead off, so that it can regrow. You sigh stare at the beast, the head in the middle rears back and it lets out a mighty belch, it smells like thousand year old eggs. You gag and cover your mouth with a hand as you move to lean on a tree the hydra looks quizzically at you as you stop fighting it to throw up. You begin to recover a minute later the hydra patiently waiting for you to come back. As you do you nod to it and it grins, as it roars again and brings its neck around to slam into you. You find yourself on your back with your head near a tree. You slowly stand up and cough, your chest plate is cracked and you ready yourself, your breath hurts. Your vision is fuzzy and you can't feel your left arm. As you cut bring your sword down with all of your power left you split the head of the hydra. Both sides go floppy, no regeneration takes place as you watch it fall you smile as you move forward and stab the head that frantically chomps at you. You feet slip as you pull the sword out, your face meeting the soft mud as you fall, you slowly stand and move closer still four heads last. All of them the smaller heads. They look at each other with panic poisoning their vision and begin to toss themselves at you. You know just how to stop them without slicing the heads off as they die the last head looks at you sadly and lies itself down in front of you. You end it quickly and take several teeth from the biggest head. You then begin to limp and wade back the mud as you reach your shield you strap it back on and continue moving through the mud, as you reach your helmet. You feel your body hit the ground and roll onto your back blacking out. ~The next day~ You wake up with your armor stripped off your body and the ceiling of Ponyville General Hospital greeting you. The soft mattress you rest on is actually four beds pressed together, you sit up slowly, your entire chest is bandaged, your left arm is in a cast and your head has a wrapping on it. They shaved your head... You sigh and lie back down as you see the White and pink nurse walk in with a big smile, "Sir Anonymous you gave us quite a scare. Broken bones and a concussion. With hydra teeth in your packs. Quite a kill." she nods and then moves to your bed side staring at you. "Uh... Thanks, Nurse." "Redheart, I'm Nurse Redheart," she nods and looks out the window behind you, "looks like there's gonna be a storm. You'll be held for the next couple week. Oh... And there's a letter from Celestia. Would you like to read it now?" "Yes, please." you nod and hold your right hand out and she steps out and speaks to a Royal guard outside who comes into your room and removes his helmet. He's bright clean white with a mane that is shades of blue. He stares at you and then salutes. "Captain of the Guard Shining Armor. It's a pleasure to meet a true blooded Knight, even if you are incapacitated." He then looked a little more stern. "And my sisters chosen prince." you swallow a lump in your throat and look at him. "Word travels fast in this world..." //-------------------------------------------------------// Prequel //-------------------------------------------------------// Prequel Twilight sat on her haunches reading over the book she had secretly ordered form the Canterlot archives, an old equestrian book, but one of the most common and well-read genre around, *Romance*, As she read she noticed she was getting very into the writing, her seat felt strangely uncomfortable even as she read, and her body began to feel warmer at her nethers and face, with a bright blush forming she realized her wings were splayed out from her body. Tingling as she even gently moved or tried to flap them, they stung as if they had been bent at an odd angle as she flexed them. She tried to ignore it all as she continued reading. Soon she began to read aloud, "The strong hooves of the Trottingham knight Fair Knight caressed the supple flanks of the saddle Arabian mare as he mounted her, his firm muscled legs pressing to her backside as he leaned over her, whispering to her, 'Milady, if I might, could thou allow mine entrance in thine portcullis?" And the fair filly responded in the one way she could with a come hither stare and purr of words, 'Thou may, Fair Knight.' that was the only response needed and he drove his tempered sword of flesh deep within her sheath of maidenhood and Fair Knight rutted deep with the night and well into the next raising of Celestia's beautiful sun." Twilight was cut off as she felt her hoof nestled between her hind legs, rubbing herself up and down, she felt her fur matted to her foreleg with sticky wetness, she looked down and found her clit winking at her, he magic nearly dropped the book as she reclaimed composure, she slowly brought a hoof to her chest and then out as she let out her breath, leveling her head she took a deep breath in and smelled her musk a deep smell of petunia blossoms, as she smelled that scent, she covered her mouth with her right fore hoof and blushed in embarrassment. As she realized she had just made her snout wet with the glossy lube her nethers had released. She was still releasing on her chair as she stood up and set the book on the desk in her room, she trotted slowly to her bed, wings still splayed out and twitching as she bounced slightly with her trotting. As she reached her bed she laid on her back wings tingling upon contact with her near sheets Celestia gave her. They were softer than satin and the same color as her coat. and as she licked her hoof clean, she couldn't help but moan softly into her hoof, biting down on it and clenching her eyes as she tasted her juices, her hoof then trailed down from her mouth to her chest and then to her teats, she gently rubbed over her hardened nipples, twirling over top them with her leg as she moved to her slick and tight passage, her untouched folds flexed on her hoof as she groaned and ground her hoof into her clit, the hardened bundle of nerves winking as she stimulated herself, she began to moan a name barely under her breath, "Mm... P- Pinkie...!" She moaned, imagining the pink mare riding her with a thick toy strapped onto her, kissing her on the neck, whispering her name as they both rutted, she found herself getting gradually louder as she began to feel her orgasm well with her, she continued imagining, that pink mare, the cotton candy smell that would overpower her own scent, the bubblegum scent her mane held. The pomegranate scent her coat holds when she visits the salon in place of Fluttershy when she's too busy, the way she imagined her nose would scrunch when she was hilting Twilight with a big thick strap-on, all of the thoughts made twilight work even more feverously on her slit as she began to scream, "OOOHH! PINKIE YES!" She found herself rolling her hips up and down with her hoof and biting her pillow as she imagined a second friend joining her at her rear, and Twilight moved another hoof to rub the ring of tight muscle nestled between her flanks as she imagined her friend Rarity rimming her. Her long flat tongue massaging her rear exit and licking superficially into it, just teasing her as pinkie rutted her, sadly she could not actually act on this, Rarity was too posh to do such a thing, and pinkie was too good of a friend, so she was simply forced to only have vivid imaginative orgies when she needed to 'release' her tensions and she felt so close no, she just needed to continue this, her hoof tip prodding her asshole and her other hoof working her clit and her slit. Her tight vaginal lips spreading and contracting as she was closer to bursting with juices the winking sped up, and as she continued her ministrations she was rewarded with a mind blowing orgasm, juices flowing from her and staining her bed a darker shade with wetness and her scream reaching a wall shaking octave, as she wiggled her body and then lay limp on her bed, shaking and moaning as she slowly passed out from the sudden burst of adrenaline that came and went. _____________________________________________________________ Spike rushed up the stairs to make sure twilight was okay, and as he opened the door the scent of petunia's assaulted his nose and made his eyes water, "Ugh... Gross... Twilight, I'm going to Rarity's." //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Two: Cutie-Whats? //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter Two: Cutie-Whats? You wake up and stretch, still in the underwear you were wearing yesterday and slide out of the worst bed ever, and into the floor, fixing your sword to your body with the belt, you walk down the steps and towards the kitchen Rarity has, you peek in and find her reading the newspaper and eating a bagel, steaming cup of coffee in front of her, she notices you and nods motioning for you to join her and then she floats another bagel, perfectly split and given a light coating of butter, the cup of coffee was black, perfect. You dig in and thank her, and the first sentence you truly speak today is, "Did you finish my clothes? No hurry." to which rarity giggles and nods, "I made you five sets of clothes, and a wonderful suit. I hope the suit, ahem, suits you." she titters and you can't help but laugh at the cheesy joke she made. "I hope it does too..." She nods, "I'll show them to you when I'm done with my paper. Is there anything I could get my strong knight?" As you ponder you remember, she has given you shelter, food, clothes, and is a total cock tease... but you're not interested horses... or ponies. With that you stand and nod, giving one of those fancy bows the other knights had taught you at the fairs you went to. "Milady, I shall return to my quarters if you have need of me." with that Rarity puts the paper down and grins, "Well, if you put it that way, let's get your clothes." she smiles and walks by you, her tail flicking to slap on your hip, as she passes, and you follow her, until you reach her creativity room and she reveals the clothes she made, the one that stands out is the very stylish tuxedo she made, you smile as you move to the more comfortable clothes, all of them seem to be made with your belt in mind, and when rarity takes a tri-fold hat up within her blue glowing magic, a long yellow plume in it causing you to barely even shrug and take it as well. "Now, Dahling... go out and meet ponies... I'll place the clothes I made for you in a drawer, folded for you." you nod and move to your room to take the clothes on, not yet removing the long johns that you were essentially the only underwear you had. Maybe rarity would make more of these. They were comfortable. Oh well, enough time to accept you’re either crazy or dead. So you put on the swashbuckler clothing and affix your belt and set out, your first mission given to you by rarity, meet Pinkie Pie. Apparently she holds a monopoly on friendship here... goody. As you step outside you feel that warm sun still, "PRAISE BE TO THE SUN!" You bellow without even thinking... what made you do that? Oh well. Best just hurry on before ponies start to stare... oh wait they already are. Oh well, at least you can move around freely without that armor. Man are you thankful for that, anyway on towards the Sugarcube Corner, which is actually quite the ways from this side of town and as you set out, the boots that you had strapped your armor on were actually still comfortable, and they still had the steel toe on them. And as you walk you wave to ponies that wave back, somewhat slowly, not yet sure of you still. Some ponies seem comfortable of you, one pony coming up to you head on minty colored with a lyre on her rump. "Uhh... you're the new thing... right, uh, the human, could I see your hands?" She smiled and sat down in front of you, who shrug and squat down to the pony's level and put your hands out towards her, "I'm Anonymous, Uhh, Sir Anonymous, though the ponies I do not think of engaging in combat, may simply call me anon..." you nod, thinking that fits better with the ponies, since they seem to think you're a knight and don't understand what you mean if you deny it. and then the pony kisses your hands and you look strangely at it as it stands and runs away, you shrug and begin to walk again as you pass a cart with apple treats a big red pony manning the stall, "Uhh, You're selling these?" The big pony nods, "Eeyup two bits for four apples" he speaks slowly, must have not been educated very well. You sigh and delve into the coin purse you put all your money into, and dig out two quarters. "Are these anything like the money here?" He looks at the shiny coins and shrugs, "Might do well 'nuff. whattaya want?" you point at the largest of the red apples three others, "Have a good'n Remember Sweet apple acres." you nod and place your money down and take the apples up, three in the crook of your arm and one in your hand, taking a bite as you walk away, it's honestly the juiciest thing you have ever eaten. "Wow." you chuckle begin devouring, continuing to eat them until there are none left. "Man, I'm gonna need to remember that stall. As you finally start to smell baked goods, well, smell it stronger than before. Hot damn these ponies seem to just smell good. As you walk a large and cotton candy smelling mass affixes itself to your face squealing in a barely intelligible voice. "Oooo! YOUMUSTBETHENEWTHINGTWILIGHTTOLDMEABOUT! MYNAMEISPINKIEPIEWHATABOUTYOU?" You panic and begin flailing at the pony attached to your face! "BWAAAAH! GET IT OFF!" you call, as she hops down and looks up at you, poofy mane and tail twitching slightly as she grinned at you. "What's your name!?" "I'm Sir Anonymous." You quickly nod, looking down at the cute little pink pony, "I take it you're Miss Pinkie?" Damn it feels good to be a sir. "Uh-HUH! I already said that though. Duh!" she giggled and then gasped. "WAIT! You're new... so you don't have any friends here... do you?" "Actually, I do, Miss Rarity has so gracefully given me room and board within her boutique and home. And Twilight Sparkle seems good enough, If I had a chance to get to know her better I'm sure we'd be friends, but that does not mean I do not need anymore." You smile at pinkie and take the hat Rarity made you and pluck the feather plume out and stick the hat atop Pinkie's puffy mane, she giggles and looks around for a mirror, "I like you mister 'Nonymoose." "I'm glad Miss Pinkie." You nod as she then stands on her hind hoofs and bounces from hoof to hoof, "Bye, Mister Knight Thing! Your welcome to Equestria party is tomorrow at seven!" She smiles and then gallops away Hat still atop her head; you grin and begin your walk back to the boutique, when you're stopped by a yell from behind you. "CUTIE MARK CRUSADER MONSTER HUNTERS!" And then just as you turn with your hand on your sword, you are tackled by three fillies who then dance atop you, "We caught it girls!" "Yeah, this is awesome!" "I really like its mane..." the last one makes you turn your head in confusion at the three fillies, one an earth pony with big red bow in her hair, the other a pegasus with tiny wings and a purplish mane, the second one resembled a younger, and cuter rarity. "Children, I am a Knight, I do not enjoy being attacked by random passerby, nor their children. So may I please ask you to get off of me?" you try to sound as commanding as you can while on the ground with three children sitting on your stomach and chest. It’s a slight success; they slowly walk back away from you. "Uhh girls, it can talk..." the bowed one says. "Yeah... And it is a Knight... aren't the royal guards called Knights?" "Children, calm down, I am not royal, I am new to the land, but surely not a monster. if that is what you mean to insinuate I take no offence to this, you simply knew no better, but once more and we shall quarrel." you nod and frown, turning around and beginning to walk away when the three fillies chance after you. "Wait, mister knight! What's your name?" To which you turn around and say, "Sir Anonymous and you three are?" "I’m Applebloom!" "I’m Scootaloo!" "I’m Sweetie Belle!" Wait, you heard Rarity say her name. "Sweetie Belle, I take it you are related to Miss Rarity?" "Uh-huh! She's my Sister!" Her voice cracks are adorable but you should be going. "I am staying with Miss Rarity. I take it the pinkie room with the small bed is yours...?" "Yeah it’s mine!" "You should invest in a larger bed." with that you chuckle and begin walking back towards the boutique, once inside you nod to Rarity, sit down on the couch she has and have a nap. //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One: The Shining Knight //-------------------------------------------------------// Chapter One: The Shining Knight Spike sighed and knocked on the door as he reached the boutique, little claws clenched tightly as the door opened and he walked in, "It happened again Rarity." he sighed and tossed himself onto the long red couch she had in her main room, Rarity galloped over and giggled, "Oh dahling, does she still call out pinkie's name? It is so cute that she does that. Perhaps we should set them up?" Spike shuddered. "But... Rarity... She's so loud! I don't want to hear that and the smell." he sighed and then sat up. "Tch, Spikey wikey, you should care about her wellbeing, and just doing that at any time she is stressed is unbecoming of a princess... come on now, surely she should have one luxury." A hoof trailed to spike's forehead and patted. "It would make me so very happy if you helped twilight like that spikey..." she smiled and then trotted off flicking her tail to tease him and, Spike couldn't help but find himself setting out for Pinkie, As he reached the door to Sugarcube Corner he sighed and sat at the stairs, "Think Spike, c'mon, Twilight likes Pinkie... and Pinkie and twilight need to go on a date, How do I talk Pinkie into doing this...?" as he looked up at the sky all he could see was pinkie. "Well you just ask silly filly." pinkie giggled and bounced, "So Twiley wants to have fun with me? I love making friends smile! I'll do it!" she smiled, clopping her forehooves together and bounced away. ________________________________________________________________________ Twilight, in her room, paced, "I can't get Pinkie or Rarity... and Rainbow said she was already with the ditsy mailmare... Fluttershy is too innocent, Applejack is dating that Caramel stallion, Lyra is with Bon-Bon, Mr. Hooves is not interested... WAIT, maybe I can make my own stallion..." She sat on her haunches and rubbed her hooves together, "All I need is to find that spell that was recorded in the early periods of the Neighnglo-Saxon era. I think I have that book somewhere in my basement..." after her quick trot from her bedroom into the dark, carved out room below the library, Alchemical beakers and test tubes sat on a table, scientific read outs lay in neatly stacked piles, all in all this room seemed to be the best to keep forgotten volumes and tomes of lore that no one else would be interested in. and she skimmed through until she found it. a scrawling of barely legible writing even to her. with a sigh she said to herself with all the conviction she could summon, "This is it... it is said that it is a spell to create what the heart most desires... but it could have all be horse apples." she sighed as she brought the book to her table and opened it, reading from the book in an old Equestrian much older than even Luna had spoken when returned after the Nightmare Moon incident. As her horn sparked and glowed with life, crackles and snaps of magical power flowing off a ball of magical energies formed in the basement behind her, as the spell reached its apex it exploded in a *POOF* and when the alicorn turned around there stood a being, with a thick belt and sword sheath, long broad sword in hand with a tall tower shield, his face was covered with the visor of his helmet and the rest of his body with plates of shiny metal this thing was you. "Uh... Wait... just happened?" your slide your sword away and lifted the visor and revealed your face, “Am I in a room with a tiny horse...?" Twilight couldn't believe what happened and raised an eyebrow. "I don't even know what you are?" "A human… and what are you, small talking horse, with a horn... and wings, lovely. I'm insane!" you cry out and let his visor fall back down. "Can you send me back to where I'm from?" Twilight frowned and shook her head, "No, sorry... I don't even think you're from Equestria. Are you friendly? Where are you from? What's it like there? Why are you wearing armor?" The being sighed as he spoke. "I worked with a group that re-enacted scenes from the past, we were doing a medieval period... you don't even know what I'm talking about do you?" Twilight frowned and looked at the ground slowly. "No, I'm sorry... I guess I can't help you. If you'd like I could help you with your living arrangements.... and maybe some more comfortable clothes... I have a friend who makes the finest clothing in all of Equestria! I'm Twilight by the way, and you mister, big piece of armor?" The human chuckled and nodded, "I like the idea and I'm... well... I don't really remember... call me, uhhh…" Well damn, you don’t remember your name… Or pretty much anything besides what you’ve been doing since you joined the Renfairs. Why not Anonymous? Some authors who don’t have names they’d like published… or are afraid of their opinion being take to them take that anme up… maybe until you can remember your name? And Well, um. I think my assistant should be around, little baby dragon named spike, he'll show you to the boutique..." Twilight then turned and went up the steps, "Come up here I'll be writing the other princesses to let them know of your arrival." _________________________________________________________ *Anon POV.* You just arrived in a land of talking horses with wings, horns, and variations thereupon. That is some crazy stuff, and you are now speaking to a purple and green dragon that comes up to a little above your knee. "So... you can take me to 'Rarity' right?" The little dragon nods and frowns. "That's her name, you don't have to talk like it's a fake." you nod and then begin to walk towards the door, "Whatever little guy, let's just hurry..." as you walk out the sun beats very peacefully... almost like the air remains the same with no variation... a very comfortable heat, then the looks you receive... from ponies all around. Some murmuring, "What is that?" and getting replies of "I don't know." you simply shrug it off and pull your helmet off. "Spike... lead the way little guy." as you follow you notice this place must be in the medieval era itself... but then you hear a train whistle and that idea goes to nothing. oh well... "How much farther is it to her home?" Spike pointed at a big glass sided building. "That’s it... tell her Twilight sent you, I'm going to make sure Twilight doesn't freak out about anything. See you big guy." Spike pats your knee plate and you walk into the boutique, "Huh... Hello?" you speak as you open the door and step in, armor clanging as you take the first couple steps in. you hear a posh accent. "Hello dahling, welcome to the carousel bouti-... Uh..." You speak quickly, "Twilight sent me for clothes!" Rarity immediately nods and walks a quick circle. "Like what you’re wearing? I don't know if I can work metal." You frown and shake your head, "No... Uh comfortable clothes... If I can get this off you can measure me..." After you get the armor off and are down to the flannel underwear, "Hmm, Dahling, You’ve got to take it all off for me to measure you properly." She nods in the affirmative. "Uh... Oh, yeah." you chuckle nervously, not having spent a day in this world before a resident wants you naked. You sigh as you let your clothes fall off. Rarity nods and then looks you over, circling like a shark. You find your hands covering your crotch as she looks over you. "I say... You are rather hairless… You look like a minotaur, I'd think at least. You seem solid. Why do you wear the armor?" You chuckle and rub the back of your neck, looking down to meet her eyes. "I uhh... I'm a Knight, yeah." Rarity smiles widely and continues measuring you. "Well dahling, do you have a place to stay? Because Sweetie, Oh! Um, my sister is with her parents and I have a spare bedroom for the week, if you need a place to stay." She flutters her eyes at you, and then... your heart explodes at her little pout. "And I would greatly enjoy having such a gracious strong knight watching over my home..." You nod, never really ever able to say no to women like Rarity. "Uhh, sure, I suppose I could stay." She smiles and nods. "I got done with your measurements all the same, rooms up top; third door to the left, bathroom is one door before." You head up and open the door, it's pink... but it will do, You move to the bed and lay down, your shins are half-way hanging off the edge. Oh well, it will do for now to sleep.
