Mated For Life RETURNS! · 12:08am Jul 13th, 2023
Finally, fucking finally!
I've finally managed to find the time to re-read the entire story up until The Abandoned chapter.
As such I now have both the information, feel and motivation to continue the epic tale of Richard and Chrissy.
Here's a small sneak-preview -
"What in the hell is going on here?" I asked, eyes wide as I took in the frankly terrible sight.
Ponies, all of them male were huddled together in a cramped cell. There had to be at least thirty of them and all of them were...were...
"They've been castrated," Pearl muttered, emotions both anger and horror eminating from him. "All of them have been castrated...why?"
"She doesn't like stallions," one of them said, a young colt no older than sixteen. His orange coat was filthy and his green eyes looked up at me with nary an emotion left. "It's what she does. She castrates us and then turns us into mares. Half of her crew were once male...but no more."
"Turns you into mares?" I echoed, flinching at the very thought of it. "How?"
"Her magic," another mumbled, an older stallion with a dirty blue coat and lifeless eyes. "They take away what makes us male and then she uses her magic to change the rest."
"How can an electromancer do that?" Pearl gasped, rubbing his head in frustration. "It doesn't make any sense."
"It doesn't matter," I cut across, anger burning beneath the surface of my soul as I turned to face the mutilated stallions. "Because it ends tonight. I'll kill her and save you all. Even better, I have a way to give you back what you've lost."
The stallions, who's eyes were once lifeless and despondant, seemed to brighten a touch as hope flickered ever so briefly amongst them.
"How?" one asked, his voice so young it made me wince in sympathy. "They burned it when they cut it away."
I turned to Pearl and nodded once, hoping my intention was clear and smiling as he nodded back before turning to face them once more.
"You join us," he said, dropping his disguise and revealing his true Changeling form.
"A Changeling?!"
"Yes!" I cut in, eyeing them all with firm assurance. "My name is Richard Tyler, I am King of the Changelings. And today I offer you a way forward. A way out of your wretched existance as a Pony. I offer you...change. The opportunity to leave this hell, this nightmare behind and join in our glorious future as free Changelings."
They remained silent at my declaration, staring at me in silence. Yet their hope grew with each passing second. Belief grew with each breath I took.
"I will not lie to you. The change will not be pleasant and pain will accompany it. But once it is done, once you have become one of my subjects..." I took a step forward and allowed my eyes to flash a powerful green, chitin overtaking my body until it covered it like armour.
"I promise each and every one you this," I continued, holding my fist to my heart. "You will live a life where you will want for nothing. Never again will you feel hunger or thirst. Never again will your children cry out in pain. Never again will those who ruled you abandon you to the darkness."
I let my arm fall slowly and exailed. "We will lead you into the light and never again will you want for love and life."
I stood there in silence and merely waited, watching them as each and every stallion stared at me, slack jawed.
And then...one of them bowed...then another, and another, and another until each and every stallion had their head bowed before me.
Hope, belief...faith. It was so strong, so...so powerful.
"Thank you," I said, smiling at them kindly before turned on my heel and staring at the door with a firm, burning desire.
For revenge...for hope...for them.
"Come on Pearl," I said quietly, grinning at the dumbfounded stallion. "We've got a mare to kill."
