//------------------------------// // 16 Campsite // Story: Know your enemy // by Znegil //------------------------------// It was midnight when we stopped to set up a camp in the forest. I gathered some wood, Luna ignited it and Chryssi prepared some blankets for us to sit on. We ate some great pastries and drank apple juice while Luna showed us interesting parts of her night sky. When Chrysalis reminded us she was hungry too, Luna was confused at first because of the amount we had eaten before, but then she remembered. "So... are we having a group hug now?", Luna asked. "That would be great.", Chryssi replied and licked her lips. We embraced each other. It was a great feeling to be this close to both of them, after a few moments Chryssi started to purr. "Is that her standard reaction?", Luna asked amused. "Yeah, pretty much, but usually it takes a lot longer, seems she really likes your feelings." "It's very cute.", Luna said. "I haven't expected... mmmmhhhhh..." Chrysalis had started to nibble on Luna's ear. "If there are stronger feelings than she expects, she can get carried away by them.", I tried to explain to Luna. "Mmmmhhh... I don't mind.... aaaahhh... her doing this.", Luna said breathing heavily. After a view more moans from her, Luna shifted her head and started to french kiss with Chryssi instead. I wasn't sure how to react, but it was the most incredible sight I ever had seen before me. After a moment I decided to massage one of Luna's sensitive spots under her wing, she reacted with a loud moan. I looked in Chrysalis happy eyes and she grinned at me. I nodded in silent agreement, and we used the next half hour to collectively focus on pleasing Luna in any way possible. ... We all laid next to each other, out of breath but very happy. "Forming a herd is an EXCELLENT idea.", Luna stated as she was able to speak in coherent sentences again. "Really? What brought you to this idea?", I asked her smiling. "She felt like this before we did this.", Chryssi remarked. "Her emerging love put me in this frenzy." "I'm not used to somepony reading my emotions, but I'm happy you did it this time.", Luna said and kissed Chryssi's hoof. "If someone did that 1000 years ago things could have been very different." I laid on my back with the two mares I loved in my arms and we enjoyed the cool night breeze. "We shouldn't forget we are on a mission.", Luna reminded us. "We should wait until we are back in Canterlot before we do something like that again." Chrysalis wasn't happy to hear that and mumbled something disapproving. "It just wouldn't be very clever to be all tangled together while some changelings may stumble into us.", Luna explained. "Don't worry, I intend to fully pay back for what you did... and then some." I looked over to Chryssi, and she had the biggest smile on her face. "I guess I can wait a few days.", she said. "I have to be aware with so much love aimed to me, often I absorb without thinking about it, I may gain a lot of weight if I'm not careful." "I will still love you if you're round as a ballon.", I said snickering. She used her fangs to give me a little bite, but I suppressed a scream. "Let's just sleep now my loves.", Chrysalis told us. "I can cast an alarm spell that will notice me if anything bigger than a rabbit comes closer than 40 feet... but you can't touch me Alex." I stood up and got myself a blanket. "My ability can be a curse sometimes.", I said very theatrical while Luna snuggled up with Chryssi. They whispered in each other's ears and giggled. Sometimes it was best not to know. ... The sun was up petty high above the horizon when I woke up. I stretched and walked over to the mares. It was an adorable sight as they had been in a loving embrace, Luna's head on Chryssi's chest, both smiling... I had to buy a camera once we returned to Canterlot. There was enough ember left from the fire, so I put the teakettle on it and poured some water in from one of our canteens. Once the water was hot, I poured it into the cups and put 'Fruit heaven' teabags in them. I took two of the cups to them and blew the scented steam in their direction. After a few seconds they started sniffing like bunnies and opened their eyes. "Good morning my dearest marefriends.", I greeted them and added a kiss for each. I put the cups to the ground, so they could use their magic to get them while they changed into a sitting position. "I could get used to that.", Chryssi said smiling. "Me too and you are an excellent pillow.", Luna added. "Anytime...", she answered smiling. "We should be able to cover a huge part of the overall distance today.", I said. "We should be a lot faster since none of us is injured and be able to reach the hive tomorrow afternoon." "Hmmmm... haven't thought I would ever see it again...", Chrysalis mused. We ate breakfast, then packed our things and moved on, we had small talk and even sang together for some minutes... I taught them some rock classics, our version of 'Stand by me' was crazy good and we laughed a lot. We enjoyed ourselves as much as we could, tomorrow wouldn't be this fun for sure.
