//------------------------------// // Chapter 35 // Story: Subject to evolution // by Dramize the Salamander //------------------------------// Day 222 I woke up early and decided to take a stroll around the castle dragging the last bit of my breakfast around a bloody hydra leg. After about and hour a thought came to me and I ran to the nursery tossing the nymphs and larva the leg and ran to find our new guests. I found them in Elytra's hot spring chamber relaxing with Trixie and Sky all of them soaking in the healing waters. "Master it is good to see you." Trixie said her and Sky sensing my presence before any one else. "What brings you to healing springs going for a dip?" Sky asked leaning back in the glimmering pool. "Not at the moment but I did come to speak to our guests." I said getting everyone's attention as I sat down most of their eyes full of worry while some were full of lust. "All of you relax I already have a mate and if any-ling wanted you they would have taken you by now." I say getting them to visibly relax again. "What I'm about to ask you is, what would you give for the power to destroy any who has wronged you?" The girls stopped relaxing moving in closer before one of them spoke. "What do you mean king Drasa?" "Exactly as it sounds. I can give you all the power to take vengeance but their will be a price." "Master you don't mean." Both Trixie and Sky said the excitement clear in their voices. "Yep, Sky go get your sister and all of you meet me in the throne room in an hour." I got up and left moving to the throne to get the library ready to find it had been changed and updated. It was bigger and had octagonal cube shape with nine floating orb circle it each with a different flight axis and lord emblem. After taking a minute to admire the nexus like vibe the library was giving off I went to see what else was new and found a decently long list with rune magic sticking out at me. "I need to check this more often." I said to myself before sorting through menus until I got where I needed to be just everyone else entered. "Are you ready for us master?" Sky asked kneel with the group of ponies behind her following her lead. "Just about." I said just as I pressed the last button causing a rainbow liquid pour from the library mixing in with the black pool below causing it to glow. "All right it's ready jump in." Not even a second later Trixie, Sky, and Light ran past me with half of the group diving into the pool while the others stayed behind hesitant. "Something wrong?" I asked walking towards them knowing their nothing else I would need to do. "Well king Drasa after you left Trixie explained what would happen and were not really sure we want to give up being ponies for revenge." One of them said as the others nodded in agreement. "That's fine If you change your mind I'll leave the pool open for a bit longer if you need me I'll be around." I started to walk away my mind focused on grabbing my next meal when suddenly I felt something grab my tail. "But we refuse to stay like this so.. Can you do what you did to Trixie to us." "Oh she told you the whole story. So you want my blood then?" they nodded completely sure this was the route they would take. "That's fine." I said creating a bowl out of crystal then cutting my wrist to fill it with my blood while I used my magic to modify and dilute it slightly. I moved back to let the mares do what they needed so could go grab lunch. Day 237 "My king you have a message from princess Celestia." Sky said walking in the room her hoof fall marking her position. I got up carefully prying both Elytra and Pupa of me so they could sleep in as I wondered if telling them yes they could share was a bad thing. I felt exhausted as I slipped away and towards Sky she handed me bear leg. "Active night my king?" She asked with a knowing smile while I took a bite of the leg examining her form. She had change in an interesting way using minotaur as a base she added rabbit to her legs to increase their power while accentuating the curve of her hips and butt, while also keeping dragon aspects to increase power in her core and arms while keeping them slight except for her breast which she let grow a bit giving her a good hourglass figure. "You changed." I said after waking up a bit. "You like it?" She asked with a twirl giving me a better look at her wings which were dragon like with finger like flap layers creating a five layer wing system, while her long chinchilla like tail seemed to sparkle from the red fur that covered it. "It's nice." I said reaching out and scratching the under side of her chin getting her to purr as her eye hazed slightly. "Then what's the message?" "The king of the Caribou asked her to setup a meeting between you two so she's asking you to show up to this location." Sky said handing me a picture of a large canyon with the words Ghastly gore written at the bottom. "When's the meeting? "Three day's from now." "Very well then I'm interested what the king of the caribou would have to say. Try to convince those mares to calm themselves for a bit at least until after the meeting then I'll decide what to do next. "As you wish my king." Without another word Sky left with a seductive of her hips since she knew I was watching her leave. I left my chamber and headed out taking a flight over my territory in my beast form before hunting.
