Fluttershy hummed to herself as she tended to her flower garden. She didn’t exactly have what one might call a green hoof but she was quite fond of her tiny Eden. Diligently weeded and carefully watered made for a proud display of love and labor. The gentle mare smiled at the sight of a one foot tall Discord approaching her. Fluttershy paused when she noticed that her miniature mate was wearing a bright yellow construction hat and holding a regular sized bucket of dirt. The Draconequus marched up to the edge of the garden and dumped the bucket right near the edge. Discord then turned and scampered off towards a large tree a short distance away and then behind it. She shrugged and returned to her work.
Fluttershy thought about what she might plant in the new plot of soil. Her thoughts were cut short by four small Discords dumping buckets of soil next to the edge. The Pegasus looked up and saw that a dozen more were on their way with buckets and hard hats. She sat and watched as her garden slowly grew and grew. She stepped to the new addition and inspected the material. The growing fleet of Draconequui must have been screening the dirt before adding to her ever expanding workspace. With a very strong sense of curiosity she walked towards the source of the growing hoard of tiny creatures.
The tree was a very old Pine that stood vigilant over what would otherwise be an empty field between her home and the forest beyond. Behind the ancient giant she saw a large team of small Discords handing dirt buckets to idle ones in exchange for empty ones. Behind the traders was a fairly large tunnel dug between two grand roots. She carefully moved past the workers and paused when her hooves failed to touch cold earth. She stepped onto a layer of grass, straw and leaves. Deeper down she went through a short tunnel into a large den under the tree. A small army of Draconequui were rapidly digging and laying out the gentle floor. Others were crafting stalagmites and stalactites as if to make it look more like an old cave. In the back of the den she saw a clutch of small Discords crafting hay bales and using them to build a wall to divide the den into two sections. They seemed unaware of her presence and she couldn’t find words for what she saw.
A full sized Discord came out of the crude room and Fluttershy paused. There was enough room to stand but Discord had to be on all fours. He smiled and hesitated as if he didn’t plan on being caught in some sort of mischief. She regarded him with an inquisitive look. For all she knew it was some kind of mischief. She stepped closer and Discord took a step back.
“I am more than happy to answer questions my dear” Discord nervously said with his trademark smile. “I’m sure you have them. I just need you to keep your distance for a few days.”
Fluttershy’s heart dropped at his words. Was this him moving out? Was he upset with her? Why did he want her to stay away? Normally when they were together he was practically welded to her. It sometimes took effort to do things on her own. He was getting better at giving her space but this was a very new degree of it. Before she could respond he continued.
“I’ve been able to keep my wits during a Solstice but with the stars lined up the way they are I can barely cast a spell. This labor crew is about all I can muster. Now I know it’s strange to hear the great Discord admitting to having limits but that’s how it is. I need to be as far from opportunities to cause Chaos as I can get; and this tree was as far as I got. In a few hours I will go into a very simple and I will remain a slave to the most basic of instincts for a few days. Now I am deeply moved by your obvious concerns and I’m sure it will be difficult having your darling Dizzy unavailable but it’s for the best. I’m sure you’ve thought about me going into full Beast Mode in the bedroom but I can assure you that as fun as it sounds; I don’t want to accidentally hurt you or even worse; be in a state of mind where I don’t care. So…will some of you kindly escort her out of the work zone; preferably before she gets hurt?”
She opened her mouth to speak but was cut off by being lifted by a team of small Discords. The troupe of chaotic creatures quickly ushered her out of the den and dropped her off just beyond the entrance. Flutttershy sat in place and watched the busy laborers. She was more curious than she was when she started and was in all honesty a little amused. It was understandable that Discord would be embarrassed or worried; but this sort of thing was her bread and butter. In her deepest thoughts she was excited to learn more about this side of him. Fluttershy uttered a small laugh. Spring had such effects on her. It was a very natural thing to go through. She slowly marched back into the tunnel leading under the tree and noticed that the removal of soil was no longer happening. She peeked into the den and saw Discord with a team of five of his work force going over what might have been the blueprints of Discord’s den. After a brief and hushed conversation the small doppelgangers were absorbed into his shadow.
“Discord” she softly said as she stepped closer. “I know you’re nervous but”
As sudden snap of his eyes cut her off.
“Back” he almost hissed as he stepped towards the inner den. “It’s almost started. I don’t have the concentration to seal off this place. I have food and water for a few days; more than enough actually. I’ll be fine. I just need you safe from me.”
Fluttershy stepped forward and Discord retreated another step. For a moment he uttered a soft growl.
“Dizzy; taking care of you when you’re in this state is part of what I already do. Plus you are my husband. I made a promise to always stay by you no matter what.”
Discord paused before stepping behind the crude walls. His vision gradually became sharper and his sense of smell grew just as strong. He gradually stopped seeing the gentle mare as his wife. She was slowly turning into an animal like him.
“Give into it Discord” Fluttershy softly said as she stepped forward. “You won’t hurt me.”
Discord strained to understand what she said. His mind was a haze and her words were just sounds without meaning. The last remnants of sapience were slipping away with the last of his ability to cast magic. Discord crouched low to the ground and blinked. As his eyes opened he took in an unfamiliar setting. The den he was in was quite cozy and smelled like him. He turned to the inner den and caught the scent of food. The animal moved into the walled nest and found a large stash of fruits. His eye caught a small pool of water encircled by a stone rim. It smelled fresh and seemed to be spring fed. Wherever he was, it had all he needed. With a stretch he laid out on the soft ground and kept an eye on the entrance. The scent of the other cave’s occupant was still present. It was clearly a mature female that spent a great deal of time with him but he couldn’t place exactly when it all took place. Discord snorted as he heard soft steps towards his claimed lair.
Fluttershy slowly stepped into the subterranean home of hay and cotton. She could see food and water clearly but her eyes were drawn to the great beast between her and the provisions. Normally any sensible pony would turn tail and run. Generally when facing a large feral animal the first thing that comes to mind is to flee while your legs were still attached. She smiled as she dared take another step. Fluttershy was not an ordinary pony. There was a touch of fear in her; but a sense of responsibility and devotion kept it silent. The mare stepped closer and was met with a low growl. All her experience flashed through her mind. Discord wanted what any animal wanted. He wanted a safe place to call shelter and to have access to food. There was no monster, certainly not like he predicted. There was clearly a hunger in his eyes but he didn’t seem interested in acting on it. Discord was clearly feeling at home and had no interest in leaving. Fluttershy paused as the reason behind the multitude of small Discords came into her mind. The excess numbers were to spread his scent.
Discord continued to look into the eyes of the stranger who smelled like him. She was confident in her stride but there was a great deal of respect and restraint. She wasn’t threating him or his supplies. The Draconequus continued to observe her as she observed him. He slowly rose to his feet, paw and claw, stepping closer to his query. She remained still and Discord uttered a soft growl as he took in her scent. It didn’t seem necessary to attack or drive her out. She smelled like she belonged in the cave. She smelled like him. She smelled like she belonged to him. Discord drew closer and nudged her gently with his snout towards the stores in the back.
Fluttershy froze as he drew closer. She almost squeaked as he softly pushed her deeper into the den. It wasn’t an act of aggression so she didn’t think she needed to worry. A few steps towards where she was being led and she found herself at his food. A smile came over her face as more relief came over her mind. There was no ferocious beast; only a gentle giant. Fluttershy slowly took an apple from the pile and ate it. Working in the garden did work up an appetite and Discord wanted her to partake. She wondered what other things he might do to surprise her. She wondered if he ever remembered his altered state of mind. A paw slowly stroked her tail and she giggled softly. A few days down here didn’t sound all that daunting.
Discord subtly moved her tail and sampled the air again. She definitely belonged to him and she definitely was an appropriate mate. He was surprised that she hadn’t born him any young. He waited for her to finish her apple before nuzzling her small body. It was time to do something about that. Clearly she had been around him for a long time. She had eaten with him and slept with him. It was quite confusing to him that they shared their lives and had no children.
Fluttershy whispered his name as she felt him gently nuzzle her. She offered a smile after she finished eating. She still didn’t see what Discord was so worried about. Granted he was indeed a wild animal in mind and body but his heart hadn’t changed. She returned the soft nuzzling and blushed when she caught him savoring her scent. He really wasn’t all that different. Discord was now just a lot less vocal about what he was thinking; but he wasn’t impossible to understand. The acts of sharing food and shelter while offering affection made it clear that he still understood that they were a mated pair.
“See Dizzy? This isn’t all that bad” she softly said into his ear before pulling away. “I’m going to check on my garden and figure out what to do with all the new space. I’ll be back down in a bit.”
Discord watched as she turned and went toward the exit. He moved ahead of her and waited for her to approach. He had nothing to worry about. She was his mate. She would come back home and he could easily track her if he had reason to be concerned. He could watch and do nothing but he could also prove his worth further. The pony approached and gave him another smile. He gave a soft growl in response and with a careful motion he wrapped his paw arm around her and guided her into walking to him instead of leaving. He could hear her heart beating faster. He could see that she was slightly startled by the act. Discord gently licked her face and got to work on making his plans clear.
Fluttershy giggled as her face was licked. The large beast was so gentle and sweet. For a moment it looked like he wasn’t going to let her leave. His paw went through her mane and she almost forgot that he had been altered. The Pegasus felt her head being guided and she allowed him to maneuver her. Her jaw dropped when he was done moving her. Her eyes were fixed on an erection. A heavy blush came over her and her heart almost skipped a beat. She wasn’t sure how but she managed to overlook the core element of being in heat. Discord seemed to be holding her still; waiting for a reaction. Clearly the wild Draconequus had full intention of making use of his now hard organ and his plans extensively involved her; but he wasn’t forcing her down for a mounting.
Not yet anyway.
Her mind raced feverishly as she continued to stare at the cock just inches from her face. She was in his den. She had eaten his food. She gave indication that she knew who she belonged to. Fluttershy drew several nervous breaths as the throbbing member continued to stand at attention so close to her face. Discord’s mind was made up; he was just waiting to see if she was going to accept it or not. She paused as a sudden thought became very clear. Would he let her leave? Would turning around result in being pinned to the floor and firmly taken from behind? Fluttershy slowly raised her head and looked into the Draconequus’ eyes. They were very firm with an obvious intent to satisfy an instinctual need to reproduce; but there was something that was familiar to her. He wanted her to submit to what was going to happen. It was well within his power to take what he wanted but she had a window to consider. There was a good chance that refusing wouldn’t result in her being left alone; but it also looked like she could. Her gaze went back to Discord’s equipment and soundly gulped. As nervous as she was; it was still her husband in a horny mood. The biggest difference was that a safe word might be ignored.
She paused and continued to ponder over her situation. Discord seemed to be content waiting for whatever her next move was. On one hoof her mate was reduced to a wild beast. On the other hoof her mate was reduced to a wild animal. On a moment’s notice his patience could run out. She was about to calculate her odds of fleeing when it suddenly hit her. The Draconequus was only presenting himself to her. Allowing her to remain in the den was to let her see that it was a well-made shelter. Allowing her access to the food was to show that he could provide. Putting himself on display was not something that needed to be analyzed. The options continued to weigh on her. She could leave or offer herself to him. Fluttershy could make a broad list of reasons why she would never present herself to an animal in heat; but this wasn’t an ordinary animal. Discord was her husband.
She fought back a nervous laugh. If one stopped and thought about it; she was already technically a very frequent sampler of bestial relations on grounds that Discord was a large cluster of various animal parts slapped together either as a wild card played by evolution or as a divine joke that only Discord understood.
Discord watched his mate as she stared at his organ. She seemed to be considering his worth as a mate. He glanced around the simple shelter and drew a deep breath. This place was more than ideal for offspring to safely grow. Protecting his clan was just a matter of diligence after attracting a female. He demonstrated that he could provide; all he would have to do now would be put on a display for raw power to show he could protect her. If she offered herself to him then he would have to be one hundred percent dominant. He didn’t want to hurt her but he couldn’t be too gentle either. A low growl was uttered as she slowly backed away from him. The smaller female moved deeper into the inner den and then stopped. His mate turned her head to him and uttered a few sounds that made no sense. Her means of communicating were strange but the little things were clear. She slowly lowered her front half and rested her head on the soft layer that made the ground. After that she raised her backside and swished her tail so it draped off to the side; making her genitalia exposed to him. Her wings entered a relaxed state and sprawled out over the bedding.
Fluttershy felt her heart beating faster from anticipation. She heard him softly approach her and braced herself. She felt a paw and claw grip her rump. His breath on her flesh caused her to be a touch confused. Her body was prepared for a sudden pounding and he once again surprised her with something soft. With a careful motion she was guided into laying on her back. Out of reflex she scooted back and Discord’s stride made the movement obsolete. With a hungry intent he lowered his muzzle to her most personal region and pushed forward, using his head to part her legs. Suddenly he opened his jaws and lightly dragged his tongue along her tender flower. Fluttershy drew a sharp breath and uttered a soft moan as the beast between her legs continued to massage her most personal region. Her moans grew more audible as his strokes became more firm. She rested her back hooves on her wild lover’s shoulders as he continued to service her. Her wings flexed and her eyes widened as his tongue prodded her.
Discord drew in more of his mate’s intoxicating scent. The noises that came out of her weren’t out of distress and she seemed content to let him prepare her for what was coming. The Draconequus continued to penetrate her with his tongue and she continued to moan and writhe. He savored her submission to him and wondered how many children she would bear. Discord pushes his tongue in deeper and got a sharp squeak in response. Her clenched passage allowed him entry and was slowly relaxing itself. His mate was almost ready for him. He kept up his treatment and she continued to show approval. With his paw he rolled her back onto her chest and with his paw he moved her tail to allow him access to her marehood. Fluttershy raised her rear for him and Discord pushed his tongue back inside her. He could feel her body loosen further. His cock twitched and he withdrew.
Fluttershy drew heavy breaths as her feral husband pulled back. She stretched her forelegs and felt him slowly climb onto her. His lion paw slipped under her waist giving her slight elevation. His claw gripped a foreleg and held it to the straw floor. The mare felt his penis graze her vagina and he let a little more of his weight down on her. She tested the fence and briefly struggled in vain against his might. A firm growl in her ear made her halt. The only parts she could effectively move were her wings but a good snap with those would either knock him off or he would power through the bruising. Discord the gentle giant was gone and Discord the fierce beast was back. He held her in place and his cock began to sink into her. He steadily pushed into her slowly and let out a deep moan. Fluttershy grunted loudly as his girth slightly stretched her. If not for the warm up, the penetration might have been unpleasant. She made another attempt at wriggling out from under him and was met by being held down with more strength. A squeak escaped her as his entire length rested inside her. In a sudden motion he pulled back then practically rammed his member back in almost hard enough to push her forward. The restrained pony cried out in surprise at the abrupt thrust and the following ones were equally forceful.
Discord continued to have his way with his mate but kept focused on her body’s reactions to him. She belonged to him but it was a two way agreement. He belonged to her as well. Discord was determined to establish his position as the Alpha but didn’t want to cause any real distress in his mare. Hurting her would be a display of having not enough control; a show of weakness. Her squirms were a touch worry some. She wanted to bear his children but she was still challenging his ability. Holding her down and roughly humping her wasn’t enough. He had to make her submit but there wasn’t much else he could do. Discord could keep going as he was but if her challenges were left alone she might lose confidence in his ability to protect her. He continued to fuck the pony as his brain worked for a solution. His instincts had an answer. It would cause a moment of distress and probably sustained discomfort in his mate. It would either result in her complete submission or she would open her wings and free herself. With a strong resolve he snorted and thrust himself fully inside her and stopped moving.
Fluttershy took a moment to catch her breath. She enjoyed things a little rough from time to time but this was a different level. As much as she wanted to continue; she guessed that she might be sore in about an hour. The animal on top of her shifted his weight slightly. Fluttershy couldn’t find any noticeable difference. The beast remained still and Fluttershy wondered what was going on in his mind. The yellow Pegasus made another effort at struggling and she almost panicked. Not even her wings could move. Up until just recently she could open her wings. She wondered if a small part of Discord retained knowledge of their understanding that her wings served the same function of a safe word. For the first time in their time together; she was without a way to tell him to stop. Even if she tapped into her abilities to communicate with wild creatures she might go unheard. She was now completely at the mercy of Discord who was now at the mercy of his primal instincts. She soundly gulped as he began to move again. His thrusts didn’t gain force or speed. Discord was content to claim her with the same pace as he had earlier. Fluttershy admitted to herself that as hot as this new venture was; it was not something she would do very often. The rush of the total loss of control was more noticeable to her than the perfectly reasonable reasons why she shouldn’t be enjoying herself. She screamed into the comfortable floor as a powerful orgasm jolted through her. She clenched around her untamed mate and with a carnal roar he fired his seed into her.
Discord withdrew from her exhausted body and slowly released her from his hold. She rolled onto her back and looked up at his eyes. He had full intention of keeping her down here and mating with her until either she became pregnant or if his heat expired. The sensible solution was to be very, very worried. Fluttershy continued to look up at the animal. Breeding was a primary concern but she could see that her condition was just as important. Either that or she was temporarily delusional after what happened. Fluttershy started to give it serious thought. She did just technically cross several moral boundaries and put her personal safety at risk.
Discord carefully scooped her into his paw arm and moved to the water source. He carefully lowered her head and helped her drink. Fluttershy slowly allowed her fatigue to take over as he pulled her back. She flinched when she felt his tongue’s touch. Discord began to groom her the only way a creature like him would when in his state of mind. Her eyes shot open when his tongue gave several strokes over her marehood. The Draconequus was clearly committed to being thorough. She watched him use his methods to bathe himself. The exhausted mare wondered how long his cycle was going to last. The larger creature slowly coiled his body around her as she started to drift off. His beating heart resting next to hers made her feel slightly safer. Her rest was interrupted only when a stray thought shot through her brain.
Discord specifically said the Solstice did this to him. He didn’t clearly say that the Summer Solstice triggered it. It was reasonable to wonder if this would happen again in the winter.
