Take a little Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's The Lost World minus the dinosaurs mix in some paranormal stuff give it an Equestrian twist and VIOLA.
I hope this journal is found by someone with an open mind. For what you read is entirely true. The sketches and photographs held within these pages will substantiate all of it. I only wish for the world to know the truth and understand why all of us have chosen to do what we did.
This story will not follow canon for the most part.
My name is Michel Malone I am the younger brother of Edward Malone the famous reporter of the London Gazette. The same Ed Malone who journeyed to the lost world of, prehistoric beast but managed to help capture one and bring it back so the rest of the world could see. After hearing and reading about his adventure I wanted to experience my own but unlike Ed, I was still stuck back home. Working for a small unknown paper most people used for the lining of their birdcages.
All that changed one day when I got a telegraph from Ed it seems he was missing his own family that and he was getting married to a Ms. Jennifer Holmes the daughter of The Global News the same ones that bought out The London Gazette. Well, anyways he sent a telegraph asking me to come to England for his wedding how could I refuse? So packing my bags I heading off to my first adventure even if it was just for a wedding. As I boarded the steamer I kept wondering if I had forgotten something. It wasn't until we were on our way that it hit me, Oh dear lord my job I didn't tell anyone I was leaving. Oh well, maybe I could get one working for The Global News knock on wood.
The trip to London was uneventful due to the fact that I remained in my cabin because of being seasick the whole time. Not one of my better ideas I just hope I get my sea legs in the near future. When the ship finally was docked and I disembarked I was greeted by Ed. We spent a few moments hugging each other before we loaded my belongings onto a carriage and made our way to his home. I have to say it looked a lot better than the one we grew up in back in the states. I even got to meet his fiancée who insisted I call her Jenny. I wasn't going to argue so Jenny it was. We got all of my things put away We decided that a tour of the city was in order. I have to say one thing even if they say London is a bustling city it doesn't compare to New York.
During our tour, I somehow got separated from the lovebirds and ended up in a little scuffle it wasn't much just some thugs trying to take advantage of a lone tourist. Luckily our styles of fighting were greatly different due to the fact the three of them were using a typical boxing style while I was using more of a Brooklyn street fighting you know to punch, kicking, biting. So there was no contest I did feel sorry for them and offered to buy them a drink if we could put this whole thing behind us. Unfortunately, I did have to wait for them to wake up to do it but Ed and Jenny had already found me so I had to take a raincheck as they call it.
During this time I met some other friends of Ed's like Professors Challenger and Summerlee. They were kind enough to show me the photos of the Lost World ones that were never given to the Zoological Society of London and they were remarkable creatures in those photos I could not describe them to their fullest even if I tried. As we spent time with Professor Challenger a young woman came over to us. She introduced herself as Katherine Jones daughter of an old, acquaintance of the Professors.
"Ah, Ms. Jones it's a pleasure to see you again please allow me to introduce some dear friends of mine Edward Malone his fiancée, Ms. Jennifer Holmes, and Michel Malone." The Professor said greeting the young lady who I must say is quite fetching.
"Greeting once again Professor Challenger I do hope you would reconsider my proposal of allowing me to speak with the Societies board members about my father's theories?" Ms. Jones said not even bothering to look at the three of us.
"I have but again the theories your father has come up with are to say hard to swallow a world connected to our own by a portal and this world is where all the creatures of mythology come from making Dragons, Unicorns, and Minotaurs true is just too," Challenger began to say.
"You mean like a plateau where dinosaurs still live," Ms. Jones said to the Professor making the old man's mouth shut like a steel trap.
"Touche young lady," Challenger said smiling.
"My father may be a laughing stock to the rest of the scientific community but his theories are sound." Ms. Jones said as she pulled a large map out of a bag she was carrying and laid it on the table. As you can see the proof is right here there are only three points in the entire world where they converge and this is the next spot for the portal to appear."
"And you think that a portal will open at this spot to another world even more lost than Professor Challengers M.s Jones?" "I asked only to get a scorned look from her."I mean it sounds plausible after all every culture has some form of similarities in the creatures of their mythology such as dragons and Lay Lines have been proven to hold some form of energy," I said gaining a smile from her now.
"Kate call me Kate," She said still smiling.
"Let me guess you wish to mount an expedition to this point let me see 25°00'00.0," North 71°00'00.0" West my word that's the middle of the Bermuda Triangle," Challenger said in surprise.
"Yes It is but we must hurry the portal will only be open for a short time and then we will have to wait for another Two years Six months," Kate said with pleading eyes.
"Why would it be a strange length of time like that?" Jenny asked looking confused.
"My father had deduced that it takes thirty moons, full moons for the Lay Lines to build up the energy to open the portal and if we miss this one we'll have to wait almost three years for it to open at Stonehenge," She said sounding a little upset. "I am sorry for the way I sound but my father was ridiculed for this and I just want to prove he was right and not some foolish dreamer," She said looking at the floor.
"Well it's settled then," Jenny said making all of us look at her confused. "I will have fathers paper put up the money for this expedition and if we do not find anything we will still be able to enjoy a nice trip to the Caribbean," She said holding onto my brother's hand.
Hearing this I jumped in and demanded to be the reporter of this venture stating that I was a top-notch photographer as well a better writer than my brother plus I was quite good at sketching to prove my point I sketched a picture of Kate for proof.
"That only took me two minutes to do now think of what I could do with more time," I said showing them the drawing.
All eyes were on Challenger at this time and with a large sigh he smiled and agreed to go but he insisted that Professor Summerlee was to join us. With that settled, I invited Kate to join us for supper and we discussed what our plans were to get to the center of the Bermuda Triangle. It took one week to get everything for the journey including convincing Professor Summerlee to join it was Challenger who got him as the Professor stated his wrinkly old butt up off his chair and out in the world again. The ship we found to take us was out of Cuba and destined to return when we were ready the Captain and Firstmate were the only ones to know of our destination and with a little extra few pounds they kept it to themselves.
I truly wasn't looking forward to the voyage but Kate had given me a bracelet made of copper and told me to always wear it when I go out to sea and believe me when I say the thing worked for some reason I wasn't seasick. So that little problem out of the way I consider it to be smooth sailing but fate had other plans. As we neared our destination most of the crew found out and decided to Mutiny the Bridge crew or team and the chief engineer were set in the largest lifeboat with enough supplies for us to reach Bermuda in five days and set adrift. I couldn't believe it twenty years old never had a girlfriend and now set adrift to die at sea.
I don't know if it was Providence the Will of God or some other mystic force but for some reason, the boat was caught in a very powerful current and it was forcing us in the direction we were headed, to begin with, the exact center of the Bermuda triangle. We were only on the boat for three hours when the Captian spotted something ahead of us. Looking I saw something that could only be described as a whirlpool of clouds taking out my camera I took a picture just so I would have proof I was delirious from the sun.
Still staring at it I didn't realize that everyone began to panic as we were rushing towards the whirlpool or vortex at an alarming rate. When Ed called to me I finally broke out of my trance and began helping as we tried to slow ourselves down or turn in another direction but nothing worked. The current was too strong and we began to pick up speed the closer we got to the vortex.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault I should never have talked you all into this," Kate said to us through tear-filled eyes.
"We all agreed to do this so it's not your fault just believe in your fathers work and we'll get through this Like you said this is a gateway to another world a lost world where man has never been and we will be the first," I said placing my arm around her.
As we got closer to the vortex there was a sound almost the same as a ringing of an alarm bell it was getting louder and louder until it was unbearable making each of us pass out.
If any of us was awake when we entered the vortex we would have seen what appeared to be a large tree made of crystal before it disappeared and the boat gently passed through the vortex and come to a stop on the shore of a different land and more importantly a different world.
Journal Entry March 27, 1914, or Day One AV After vortex
I don't know how long any of us were unconscious but the first of us to awaken was the Captain and Ed who I found out later was named Ricky Ricardo. The Captain had located the weapons that were stowed away on the lifeboat unknown to the Mutinous Crew. I looked around and saw that we were no longer in the ocean but on the shore of a lake. We disembarked from the boat to do a little exploring but always maintained a line of sight with the boat and each other.
I took off in the direction that I believed to be East taking along my sketchbook and a revolver for safety reasons. I wanted my camera but it would have been too much to carry and if there was any danger I would be able to get back to the others much quicker. As I made my way I noticed that the air seemed so much cleaner and everything was brighter as if it was cleaned. My walk brought me to a large open field. Glancing around I didn't see anything out of the ordinary the grass only came up halfway to my knees so if something wanted to sneak up on me it had to be either really small or flat on the ground. I was about to turn back when I heard a voice calling out. Stopping I listened and again I heard the voice it sounded like a woman's but it was rhyming. I looked around until I saw movement in the tree line a distance away from me.
There was a figure and it was calling to me I could make out that it was human well humanish. It stood upright on two legs but the head was totally different. As it came closer I noticed it definitely was a woman or at least female due to the fact it had a large set of breasts and swaying hips as it walked closer. I was mesmerized by its appearance it appeared to be a zebra but like I said it walked on two legs and it possessed hands what caught me the most was its eyes were larger than they face forward like a human. As it was coming closer I took out my sketchbook and began to draw it or I should say she had gold rings on her neck and left wrist a ring in her ear and the clothes she wore were similar to those of the tribes of Africa. "Can you not hear or are you deaf and dumb, I asked where do you come from?" the zebra lady said tilting her head to the side.
I did what anyone in that situation would have done I looked at her smiling. "You can talk," Was all I got out before everything went black.
I was awakened by the Zebra Lady shaking my shoulder. Opening my eyes I was greeted by the sight of her private parts due to the fact, the lower half of her clothes were nothing more than a skirt. My face flushed I moved to sit up but I felt a hand on my shoulder and the voice of this rhyming Zebra Lady who does not wear anything under her skirt. I will admit that I did become slightly aroused being this was the first time I had seen, that part of a woman's anatomy. Shaking it off I sat up to look at her.
"Hello, Miss, my name is Michel Malone may I ask who you are?"
Reaching her hand down to help me up she smiled.
"I am Zecora Herbology and Rhyming are my game, But I must admit you have a very strange name," She said smiling at me.
"It's normal where I come from and my brother and friends don't mind it,"
I took a good long look at Zecora mentally recording every detail I could I did notice that she was about a half-head shorter than me. My brother Ed stood Six feet even and me being his little brother stood taller by two inches that would make Zecora around five feet eight inches give or take. But the realization of the others made me grab hold of her hand making her blush as I walked back to the boat with Zecora in tow.
"Just wait till the others meet you the first indigenous inhabitant,"
We were just about there when I stopped and dropped down to the ground pulling Zecora with me. Peering over in the direction of the boat I spied a large group of similar creatures as Zecora but these ones were clad in armor and carrying weapons. the other differences were some of them had horns or wings much like the mythical Unicorns and Pegasus. As I continued to watch I felt Zecora pull away from me and stand up. Looking down she smiled before walking in the direction of the armed creatures.
I stayed low and observed them only to notice they got a hold of my camera equipment. I just couldn't let them damage it so standing up I called out to get their attention. The Horsepoeplo as I started calling them to look at me before five of them started running towards me with their weapons drawn. I did not want to hurt them or be hurt by them so taking out my revolver I fired two shots into the air. This seemed to do the trick for they stopped advancing the sound of the shots was enough to scare them even Zecora looked shaken. I looked around at the faces of the shocked and confused horsepeople until I came across one of them that looked very different. This female and yes it was definitely female walked out ahead of the others with some protests. She stood much taller than any of them, in fact, she was taller than me. But what caught my eye most was that she possessed both wings and a horn. The other striking features were her pure white fur and hair or, is it a mane yes a mane and tail seem to flow in a nonexistent breeze. One more thing that caught my attention was that she wore a crown that would mean this is one of royalty.
Knowing it would be best to stop anything before it started. Without breaking eye contact I placed my revolver back into its holster then proceeded to lower myself on one knee bowing my head. This action was the right move as the horseroyal smiled before walking closer to me.
"Rise stranger and I thank you for not harming my ponies with that weapon of yours," She said in a very nice motherly tone.
So they call themselves ponies makes as much sense as this world where ever it is. I looked over and saw that Zecora was kneeling as well. I rose and offered my hand to Zecora to aid her.
"Thank you, my friend, For a true act of kindness is always best in the end," Zecora said before lightly kissing my cheek.
I was about to say something when I heard the sound of a throat clearing. Turning I was staring into the face of the pony royal who was only three inches tall than me but her horn was at least fifteen inches long making her taller.
"Greetings I am Princess Celestia and I would like to welcome you to Equestria," The princess said as she gestured to everything around us.
"You majesty my name is Michel Malone and...." My friends there out here somewhere probably hiding or they may have found others of you ponypeople,"
"Your highness scouts report sighting eleven more of these creatures west of us near Whitetail Woods," An Armored pony unicorn said walking quickly over to us.
"That's them my brother his wife the professor's Kate and the ship's crew,"
"Thank you, Captain Armor and I would like to not cause any undue stress on our visitors so if you would have your troops to stand down Mr. Malone if you would come with me," Celestia said as she turned and began walking to what I presumed was the direction of Whitetail Woods.
As we walked I still held onto Zecoras hand not wanting to let go out of fear that she would disappear. I don't know why but I feel very comfortable with her near me. The walk took us thirty minutes and during that time I tried to answer as many of the questions Princess Celestia had asked me. The rest would have to come from the others seeing as science was never my best subject. Making our way closer I could see in the distance the eleven others hiding just at the edge of the woods all the guns pointed in our direction. I kept walking still holding Zecora's hand.
"Ed, Jenny it's me, Mike you can put your guns down they won't hurt us," I yelled to get their attention still walking towards them.
I raised my hand that held Zecoras to show them I was telling the truth. It took longer for the crew members to relax but after Professors Challenger and Summerlee and Kate came out I didn't think they would ever stop talking about how Kate's dad was right. The Captain and his crew collected all the weapons to make sure no one would be harmed. During this time Edward and Jennifer both look at me with wide eyes.
"Professors, Ed, Captian Ricardo, Ladies, and Gentlemen Welcome to Equestria," I said stepping to the side for all of them to look upon Princess Celestia who stood there smiling.
"As Michel has said welcome to Equestria I am Princess Celestia please let us begin this new adventure as friends," She said in her motherly tone as everyone else kneeled before her. "Please rise all of you as I said I wish for us to be friends," Celestia said as she took hold of Jennifer and Kates's hands.
I watched as everyone began to speak as if they were old friends even the crew were talking with the guards. All this time I failed to remember that I still was holding Zecoras hand until I felt a set of lips on my cheek. Turning to look I was mesmerized by the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen.
"This day is the most exciting to date, But this whole time you held my hand others would think we are Mates," Zecora said blushing as I still was holding her hand.
I turned to look at her only realizing she was right but instead of letting go I brought her hand up and kissed it smiling at her. " Actually, I have no problem with that, in fact, to be with somepony like you I could see a wonderful future," I said as the both of us leaned in closer to kiss. But that did not come because my brother just happened to decide that was the time to interrupt us by introducing himself and his wife.
During that little distraction, I introduced Zecora to the both of them, luckily Jenny caught on and move the two of them away. when we were alone once more we leaned back in and had our first kiss. At first, I was afraid that it would feel weird, but her lips were as soft as silk and tasted of mangos. Wrapping her arms around my neck I wrapped mine around her waist as our kiss deepened our tounges met and began to dance. Feeling bold with our embrace I moved my hands down to squeeze her toned ass making her moan in my mouth. After the kiss, my hands still cupping her butt. I looked into her eyes.
"I've never done this before but for some reason when I look into your eyes I feel that we were meant for each other," I said looking deep into her beautiful sea-blue eyes.
"Yes I feel it too, But I do not know what we should do," She said resting her head against my chest.
Before I could say anything Edward came back over to inform me the Captian and his crew along with Challenger and Summerlee will be going with the Princess to their capital city called Canterlot. As for the four of us, we will be staying with The Princesses former student and Princess herself a one Twilight Sparkle. I nodded and turned to speak with Zecora but she was gone I looked everywhere until I was called to join my three new roommates only to look back once more before sighing deeply and blowing a kiss into the direction of the forest. After that, I moved to catch up to the others hoping beyond hope that Zecora and I would see each other soon.
At the edge of the forest, alone Zebra mare stood with a hand over her heart.
"Oh, my love, I know the feeling and there is great truth in your word, But before we mate you must build up our herd," She said as she turned and headed into the forest.
We followed the guard that was to lead us to this Twilight Sparkle I mean Princess Twilight doesn't want to upset the royals. We made our way to this small town called Ponyville yes I know but that is God's honest truth. As we enter the town we didn't get twenty feet in when this pink blur came out of nowhere and started asking us all these questions about parties and cake before it disappeared. The guard just said to ignore it and be prepared for a party sometime today to welcome us to town and some other things. As we moved on I couldn't help but notice that there were more women I mean mares than stallions and what was a little concerning was that every mare we passed looked at Edward and me with lustrous eyes. Jennifer saw this and pulled Ed closer to her making the mares staring at him then turn and look at me. The only thing I wanted was to get to the Castle of Friendship and just sit in my room and think about Zecora.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I was knocked to the ground. I don't know who it was but there were four bodies on top of me and one of them had her yes her rear end on my face another was sitting on my lap. The other two were on my chest and legs all four of them were arguing about how falt it was for the accident. After some help from Ed and Jenny I was finally able to stand up I was going to yell at who hit me seeing as I was again becoming aroused by all the bodies on top of me. But when I turned around and saw who it was, I felt the same way as I did with Zecora. The feeling that I was meant to be with the four of these girls along with my zebra mare.
"We're awfully sorry about that but we kind of lost control and well you know the crash," Said the one that was a unicorn.
She had white fur and pink and purple mane and tail with the greenest eyes. I looked at the other three. The one standing next to her had yellow fur with red mane and tail with orange eyes she was as they call them Earthponies next was a pegasus girl with orange fur and darker pink mane and tail the last one was a lizard no she was a dragon, dragoness her scales were purple and he underbelly was light beige she had green spikes the went down her head all the way to her tail and her eyes were the emerald green. I couldn't help but stare at them and they were doing the same to me until the guard cleared his throat. This made us all blush and laugh. Without thinking I pulled out my camera and snapped a few pictures of them only to have everyone look at me strangely.
I know this is Smolder but she looks better as Barb. "Putting my camera away I looked at the four and smiled. It's alright no harm done my name is Michel, Michel Malone," I said bowing my head to them.
"My name is Sweetie Belle," The unicorn girl said in a very cute squeaky voice.
"Well, hoody my name is Apple Bloom or just AB," The redhead said smiling.
"Sup names Scootaloo," The Pegasus girl said trying to act tuff.
"Hello my name is Barb, Barb Sparkle," She said reaching out to shack hands with me.
When our hands touched I felt a spark the same one I felt with Zecora. I had to see if it was a fluke so I reached out and shook the other girl's hands and felt it each time. I didn't know what it meant at the time and if I did I wouldn't have believed it. We continued our walk but with four more as the girls chose to come with us seeing as Barb lived at the castle Twilight and Spike. Who happens to be her mother/sister and her older brother.
I say this about Twilight as it seems she hatched both of them from an egg for her entrance exam into Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns. This made her their surrogate mother and like it, she was a child herself she was their big sister also. As we walked the girls asked me about everything they could think of. So I told them about where I lived in New York City which they said they have a city like that called Manehatten. And I told them about my trip to London for Edwards and Jennifer's wedding I also let it slip I lost my job at the paper. Only for Ed to turn around and start yelling at me about being so immature and forgetful. This caused us to have a heated argument in the middle of the street. It took Jennifer to calm down my overreacting brother but for me, it took all four of the girl's Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle was holding onto my back while Barb and Scootaloo were holding my front.
The girls were strong enough to keep us apart long enough for us to calm down. Ed apologized for what he said and I did the same for not telling him about my former job.
"I do hope this is just how family treats each other and not all humanity?" A new voice spoke making us all turn to see Princess Twilight Sparkle.
"Actually, this is pretty tame compared to how most of the way humanity treats each other I'm afraid to say," Kate says looking down at the ground.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that," Twilight said folding her ears back.
"It's not all bad there are many people who want and treat others with love and respect also," I said trying to lighten the mood.
This helped out a lot as the Princesses mood changed and began to introduce herself and her number one assistant Spike. I watched as the dragon who stood as tall as I am greeted everyone and when he met Kate I could see a twinkle in both their eyes. The same thing could be seen in Edwards, Jennifers, and Twilight's eyes. I couldn't help but wonder if it was the same feeling I had with Zecora, Sweetie, AB, Scoots, and Barb. I decided to just do some old fashion sleuthing just like any good reporter would do.
I watched as Spike headed off to the kitchen followed by Kate to make everyone some supper seeing as it was getting late. Twilight escorted us well she only said Ed and Jenny's names to the library. I followed just so I had something interesting to write about. And It was we found out that Twilight and her friends defeated the evil form of Princess Luna called Nightmare Moon. Note to self-learn about all the princesses. They also beat a guy called Sombra reformed Chaos being named Discord crushed creatures called Changelings and this magic absorbing monster called Tirek. I will say this if they did all this God help any human country or army who wants to take over this place.
We or I should say they meaning the three very close friends discussed many things all I did was take notes just as Twilight was doing. Everything about their world and everything about ours. I did find out they were in some aspects further advanced in technologies than us and we were more advanced in weapons. This was apparent with them using swords, spears, and some basic flintlock muskets. I learned from Barb that they only came in to being about five years ago but there are only about three hundred in all Equestria. Maybe Captain Ricardo might want to show them some better weapons.
Unknown to any of us at that moment in Canterlot Captian Ricardo and his crewmates were being locked in the dungeon for trying to steal from the royal treasury. Challenger and Summerlee were both spared this due to the fact they helped the guards in capturing the as Summerlee called them No Good Scoundrels. To show we were not like the others those two gave the Princesses all the weapons except for two Enfield rifles and two 1911 colts pistols with enough ammo to last us a few months on our own.
Like I said we discussed many things all this time I also watched how Ed Jenny and Twilight were acting around each other as for Kate and Spike they seemed to act as if they were newly dating always taking quick glances when no one is looking. I would have said something if it was not for the way my brother and those two were acting. Edward was sitting in th middle of the couch with either girl on his side looking through a large book or they wanted others to think that when what was really happening was each of these ladies had her hand on each of his thighs stroking it. I believe it would have gotten worst if not for Spike notifying our supper was ready.
I don't know what was happening but I felt it two but for some reason, Barb, Sweetie, AB, and Scoots weren't acting like that, oh, they were very affectionate by way of staying close to me and placing a hand on my shoulder or giving me a soft hug or kiss on the cheek but nothing more. It wasn't till after we finished eating that I knew something was wrong. Twilight offered to show Ed and Jenny to their room for the night as Spike was showing Kate hers. Scoots, Sweetie, and Ab had to go home for the night so Babs was going to show me my room as we walked down the hall I would look over at her. She was very attractive but she kept her distance always looking like she was shy blushing ever so often.
Our walk could have lasted forever and I wouldn't have been upset about it but we did finally arrive at my room. Barb did tell me that her room was just across the hall if I needed anything at all. She emphasized the anything at all part by stepping close enough to press her sizable chest against my own. Thanking her I quickly entered my room hoping that she did not notice the tightening in my trouser area. I don't understand what has come over me all of the sudden. I mean I never was this lucky with the ladies back home. But when I met Zecora things changed, my thoughts went back to that moment the way she looked her smell how I wanted to lick and pound her pus... Ok, I really need to calm down or I never get to sleep. Speaking of sleep the bed was so soft one would think it was a cloud later I found out that's what they actually were.
I decided to get ready for bed but I wanted to clean up first finding the bathroom I looked inside to see a very spacious shower. Striping out of my clothes I climbed in the water came on by its self and it was at the perfect temperature. I began to clean up getting all the day's dirt and smell off me, finishing up I dried off and got into my nightclothes which consisted of boxers, and proceeded to fall asleep still thinking about those five young women I met earlier today.
If I had still been awake and had set foot outside my room I would have heard two different conversations from down the hall. One between Ed, Jenny, and Twilight and the other a very steamy one between Spike and Kate. The first was Twilight tearfully excepting that Ed and Jenny both had chosen to start a herd with her and telling them that her friends might also like to be part of it if they wouldn't mind of course. The second was less of a conversation and more of the sounds two individuals make in the throes of passion. I will not pry into the love lives of others for what happens in the bedroom stays in the bedroom. All I know is this world is different in many ways but that is what makes it better the only things that concern me are how will I be able to take care of myself let alone five more and if it is possible for us to what would our children look like and would this world except them. Only time will tell, I will keep this journal as long as I can but if Kate is right then the portal will open up again in thirty moons, and then there will be a decision to maybe stay here or return to Earth. I just hope I make the right choice.
It has only been a day since we arrived here and I find myself more at home here even with, learning the concept of herding. As Twilight explained it is due to the ratio of fillies to colts being born each year which makes sense as when we travel through town I saw more women or mares than stallions or men about eight or ten to one. This was confirmed when Zecora and the three young ladies returned with others in tow one who seemed to defy the laws of reality.
We were ushered into the library once more as it was the largest room. While there I learned that Ed and Jenny had agreed to start a herd with Twilight and possibly her friends. To which I had the privilege of meeting and to my surprise to learn that Sweetie and Apple Bloom were the younger sisters to two of them as for Scootaloo she was more of an honorary sister.
The introductions of the other six mares went off a little strangely, for example, the one named Rainbow Dash seemed to boast constantly about being the fastest flier. Yet her attitude towards us was very friendly even saying she wanted to give us a tour of the Weather factory. To find out that these ponies not only controlled their weather but both Princess Celestia and Luna both controlled the Sun and Moon. It took us some time to wrap our minds around such a thing but Kate had to remind us that we were in a different world one where the myths and legends of our world most likely originated.
As we were shown around the town quaintly called Ponyville. We were introduced to many of the inhabitants but our tour was cut short as we came upon I sit that I could only describe as a real gingerbread house. There was no denying that this was building was the embodiment of a child's dream. I could not control myself moving over the otherside of the street I began sketching, I took my time I had to get this just right or no one would believe it. Upon completion, I looked around for the others only to have Barb tell me the others were already inside. I took hold of Barb's hand as she led me inside where we were greeted by a bubbly mare. Who in turn was asking me so many questions at once I just decided to nod in agreement. It wasn't until she left that Barb started to laugh. I asked her what was so funny and in between laughs she asked me if I really meant what I said. That I would help all the unherded mares during estrus, remembering some of my rudimentary Biology, estrus is when a female animal goes into heat and are in need of release. That word release meant they would need a male to no-no-no-no. That will never happen, luckily Barb told me she was only joking yeah only joking. I'm sorry but you don't joke about that. Now that was out of the way we sat down at a table with Sweetie, Applebloom, and Scootaloo. While my brother and Jenny sat at a table with Twilight and some other mares I did not recognize. It was Sweetie who told me their names Applejack, her sister Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, and Pikie. I could hear them talking about forming a herd with Ed and Jenny, but I could not keep paying attention to the conversation due to Sweetie Belle's hand on my thigh. This action had caused me to think about what was going on here all of this seemed to I do not know what to call it but too convenient. The way the ponies have openly accepted us and how Ed, Jenny, and I are just being so open with everything around. It just doesn't add up there must be something here in this world that is causing it. Maybe in the food the water or in the air we breathe, but there is something that is affecting I just don't know it might be my imagination being someone who grew up in New York. I need to find out if it's just me I'll have to talk with Ed and Jenny later. On a lighter note, we got to see Professors Challenger and Summerlee again as we were all welcomed to Equestria by way of a very elaborate party hosted and provided by Pinkie. I can not begin to describe what was involved in what this mare had done the banner alone showed how I wish to not use the words strange or bizarre so I will use unique as the best word to describe this pink mare. Just reading the words showed her look on life, Welcome Edward, Jenny, Michel, Kate, Professors Challenger, and Summerlee But not the bad Captain Ricardo or his men to Ponyville and Equestria. During the party, I got to see the varied differences between our two worlds most notably was the music for the life of me, I will never understand Dub Step but the divides used were remarkable. Challenger surmised that it was similar to Guglielmo Marconi's use of radio signals in 1895 but far more advanced. The party went on without a hitch as they would say, but all things must come to an end, we said our goodbyes to the professors. As we were heading back to the castle I pulled Ed over to talk about what was going on. I voiced my concerns about the things that were happening to us all how we were not acting as we normally would. I was cut off from my worries by Ed telling me that he had spoken with Twilight about the same things and found out that it was the land its self. Hearin this made me a little worried until Ed told me what he learned from Twilight. The first settlers to the Windigos, a Chaos Bringer, a Power-mad Centaur, and many other horrible things. He told me that the land its self wanted us to feel at peace and not to want to cause harm to the Magic of Harmony is what he was told it's called. I just couldn't shake the feeling but Ed just laughed and told me to question it all I wanted I still had free will to choose what I wanted to do.
When we reached the castle after our talk I noticed that Zecora was there waiting for us. I met her with a hug and kiss on the cheek telling her how much I missed her. She nodded at this and told me that we must speak as she gestured towards Sweetie, Scootaloo, Appleblppm, and Barb. I looked over to Twilight only to receive a nod. With that, I led the five to my room where we all sat down and waited for Zecora to speak.
"I have missed you my love and to see you with the other makes my heart sore like a dove," Smiling as she looked at the four others in the room.
"I missed you too my exotic beauty," Saying as I held her hand. But why did you leave and come back now?"
'It may sound absurd but we could not be together until you formed a herd," Zecora said as she looked at all the other girls.
This action caused the girls to blush and look at the floor, at the same time took the expression of a fish out of water. A herd, a herd just like what Ed, Jenny, and the others were doing. I looked around at each of them and all I could do was smile to think that these five beautiful women would want to be with me felt like a dream and if it was I dam well better not wake up. I look at Zecora and told her if we are to become a heard then I want to know everything about them and in turn they will know everything about me. So that is what we did all through the night we told about our lives and our dreams of the future.
I know that the first of April is called Fools Day a day to play pranks on your friends, but how the ponies celebrate this day is more like a National Holiday anything goes within reason nothing life-threatening of course. Finding out that Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash celebrate the day with an overexuberance was frightening. The first and last prank pulled on me was by Rainbow Dash who had a small raincloud pour its contents on me that wouldn’t be a bad thing but when a bolt of lightning struck just a foot away was the end for me, I just grabbed my things and headed to Zecoras hut for the rest of the day. I was joined by the other girls, Scootaloo hero-worshiped Rainbow Dash, but putting my life in danger with even an accidental part of a joke was enough. As we made our way there I did find out something very interesting. It would seem that neither Spike nor Kate have been seen out of Spike's room unless it was to eat or work though they did show up for the party to say hello then they were gone. Barb warned me that if they keep doing what they are doing Kate will be laying a few eggs within the next month or two. That was something I really did not want to hear and that also got me thinking about the five of us and the future. If we do start a family what would they look like would they be human, pony, or a mixture of both.
Journal Entry April 3, 1914
Well I’m alive and Prank Day is over we all decided to stay at Zecoras hut for one extra day and I will say it was worth it. I say this for two reasons first being that the girls all modeled for me.
The second reason is kind of personal, but I will say it I did, in fact, become very intimate with all of them it was a bit freighting due to all of them retaining their virginities. It was after the fact that Zecora stated that now we were all married in the eyes of Equestrian law and to honest I won’t have it any other way. Now I just have to figure out how to tell Ed and Jenny that I started my herd before them. I can just imagine all the jokes Ed will come up with. I was a little scared after our time together because I knew what could happen to them, but it was Zecora who put my mind at ease in the most blatant and honest way.
“You need not fear for all the times we have bucked for only during the heat must we be careful for if not we truly are fucked,”
For the record, the Heat or correctly called Estrus will happen in three months. Zecora, Barb, and Applebloom all agreed to forgo the contraceptive allowing them to bare our children. Sweetie and Scootaloo did not feel ready now but they did say they might change their minds. On our journey back to the castle after a passionate goodbye to Zecora my chosen Lead Mare I found out three important things the first humans are immune to poisonjoke. This was discovered the day we arrived at Zecoras as I happened to walk through a batch of the plant. The second is Barb has the same magic fire as her brother this was discovered when we received a letter on the second of April, and the final information was the captain and his crew attempted to escape last night though most were caught four did indeed evade capture. Luckily they were unable to get hold of any of the firearms I shudder to think of what untold horrors could have happened if they had succeeded.
It still amazes me that the human race throughout its history has had some form of bloody war, but here in this world let alone Equestria the closes war they had was with a being that could make it rain chocolate milk. The battle between Celestia and the dark energy known as Nightmare Moon did have destruction but of a castle and yet no bloodshed. It seems that Earth could learn a few things from this world. I believe I’m getting off track so after we entered Ponyville we noticed the presence of a lot more guards, which cause Sweetie Belle to become frightened. I reassured her, that those men would more than likely head as far away from Canrotlot, Ponyville, and any other settlement.
That statement was later confirmed to be true as scouts had seen the four jump from a boxcar of the train that was south of Ponyville and they had continued that direction towards what was called The Badlands.
And just as predicted when Edward found out about me and the girls he didn’t stop with the teasing for a good hour. Though he did want to know how I was able to be with all five of them in one night and still be breathing, my response was MAGIC. With all the laughing done we sat down and had a very important discussion on what we wanted to do with all that was happening. We received word that Professor Challenger was going to arrive later today as for Summerlee he found the prospects of the Royal Library more to his liking or was the Librarian a Ms. Cinch more to his liking. Yes I know I am supposed to keep since of professionalism when writing but when a man in his late sixties early seventies is flirting with a woman half his age and it seems to be working why not make fun of it. Joking aside we have a very important meeting to get through.
With everything that is and was going on, I think we all need some answers, and seeing as I was hired as the journalist for this expedition I guess I will be keeping a record of what is said.
Jounal Entry April 3, 1914 12:35 PM
We entered a room that I have never been to before it has a round crystal table with what appears to be thrones each with the emblem of a cutie mark that matches Twilight sparkle the princess of Friendship and her five closest friends the Barriers of the Elements of Harmony. Rainbow Dash... Loyalty Applejack Apple... Honesty Rarity Belle... Generosity Fluttershy... Kindness Pinkamena Diane Pie\Pinkie Pie... Laughter Princess Twilight Sparkle... Magic When together the six are the Elements of Harmony a powerful weapon against the darkness. Created by a sentient crystalized tree called the Tree of Harmony located in the Everfree Forest. It is revealed that the Tree of Harmony first grew from a seed planted by the Pillars of Old Equestria and imbued with the elements within them so that it would protect Equestria from darkness in their absence. The Tree of Harmony is a tree that held the Elements of Harmony. It is located in the Cave of Harmony in the Everfree Forest, near Princess Celestia and Princess Luna's old castle named Castle of the Two Sisters. The center of the tree has a star shaped like Twilight Sparkle's cutie mark, while Celestia and Luna's cutie marks are on the trunk. The Elements were removed by Princess Celestia and Princess Luna to be used against the Chaos Lord Discord. The Elements were used once more by Princess Celestia to banish the dark force Nightmare Moon that had taken control of Princess Luna to the Moon for One Thousand Years it was this action that made Princess Celestia lose the ability to control the elements so they were lost. Until Princess Twilight though at the time Twilight Sparkle the personal Student of Celestia had found the prophecy of Nightmare Moon's return. With a little manipulation on Celestia’s part, Twilight was sent to Ponyville where she would meet her friends and the barriers of the elements. In doing so they were able to purge the darkness from Princess Luna.
With further investigating it was discovered that Pillars themselves were the forerunners of the elements each representing harmony in their own way Honesty Applejack – Strength Rockhoof Kindness Fluttershy – Healing Mage Meadowbrook Laughter Pinkie Pie – Hope Somnambula Generosity Rarity – Beauty Mistmane Loyalty Rainbow Dash – Bravery Flash Magnus Magic Twilight Sparkle – Sorcery Star Swirl the Bearded
Though I try to keep an open mind when working but after reading some of the journals of Starswirl I can honestly say that the stallion Twilight revered so much was nothing more than an egotistical misinformed hack who wouldn’t know one thing about true magic if it came and bit him in the ASS. Most of his spells were unfinished or never tested one example his mirror portal, it was to open to a new world a new dimension and all it did was open to a different reality of Equestria. Twilight had shown the mirror to Ed and Jenny allowing them to pass through only to emerge on the other side as ponies for me that experience will not be taking place thank you very much. Professor Challenger explained that due to the fact we are humans in this world and have no double in the latter it would be impossible to have a human form there so ponies. The meeting and conversation lasted for several hours until most if not all of us became quite hungry and decided to end it for now. To return on a later day and time.
After our meal, I gathered up all my notes and sketches bringing them to my room where I was greeted by all five of my wives and two more per, pon, well a griffon, and another dragon. Applebloom introduced them as Gabby a long-time friend of theirs and Dragon Lord Ember a dear friend of Barb's and the ones to fill the spots to complete our herd, I had to be reassured by Zecora that it was true.
So looking the two new members over, I have to say my girls know mine and have very good taste. Ember as she wants to be called has a Lilith form like Barb but child-bearing hips and her color is of a lite blue.
As for Gabby, she had almost an hourglass figure with gey fur and feathers.
After the introduction, we all sat down and talked so I could get to know my two soon-to-be newest wives. What surprised me the most is that it wasn’t Ember who wanted to have sex first but Gabby, although Ember was apprehensive due to the fact that she and Gabby had unlike the others both entered their heats early. Gabby being a Griffon enters Estrus every month instead of every six like ponies and as for Ember, it had to do with her position as Dragon Lord. She explained that she needed to find a suitable mate that could give her strong healthy hatchlings and could protect herself and the eggs. To Show her I was capable to do both we took an Enfield and pistol out behind the Castle where I demonstrated by emptying a full clip of the Colt 45 into a target dead center before Twilight could get off two spells. As for the Enfield, I place three rounds dead center at three hundred yards proving that if push came to shove I was willing to do anything to protect my family. That night I spent it making love and impregnating two of my wives while still satisfying the rest.
A short addition to journal entry, it seems the Barb was correct about Kate and Spike. Their constant bedroom activities have bore fruit as it were. The two were not seen all day today due to the fact they were at the hospital learning some remarkable news Katherine Sparkle formally Jones is now carrying four Human-Dragon Hybrids. The Doctors say the babies are fine and healthy. The doctor stated that he has dealt with crossbreed offspring of dragons and other species before so it will be fine as long as the mother gets plenty of high protein food and a good source of gem dust to substitute for sugar.
It’s here the day most stallions or males of any kind fear has come Estrus Week is here and it came early according to Twilight we still had a month but for some unforeseen reason, it came early all the same. Now it is a mad scramble to get Ed and myself to safe locations well for me as for Ed I think the six Element Barriers as his herd will keep the other mares at bay. Unfortunately, I do not have such a luxury although having two dragons, a griffon, four mares one a positions mistress, and the last three able to bring forth the horrors of tree sap I should be safe. But my thoughts were ignored in favor of a hiding spot, not just any place would do so a decision was made for it to be the clubhouse. It was small and cramped or as Sweetie Belle called it cozy and romantic it didn’t matter what it was as we had to leave. So we made our way around Ponyville staying near the forest Zecora leading the way with the flyers as cover as Sweetie Belle And Applebloom stay by my sides literally they were walking right next to me the whole way if I stopped they did.
I could tell that they were all being affected by their heat as Zecora was swaying her hips more while Sweetie and AB kept rubbing against me. I didn’t want to know how Scootaloo and Barb were handling this but it must have been hard for them. It took us a good half hour before we reached our destination and I have to admit the clubhouse was small but it was about the size of my old apartment but that wasn’t the most important issue. That would be once we entered the door Barb tackled me to the floor growling it took Zecora to remind her the order of the herd that she was first as the lead mare. To that end, I spent the entire day making love, mating, and impregnating my herd I say making love as I also spent time with Gabby and Ember even though Ember said it wasn’t necessary as she Gabby were already pregnant but loved the attention all the same in fact they both agreed to continue with it up to their due date. Which I had no problem with as I heard stories from guys about their wives being insatiably horny when pregnant and it just so happens that dragons were twice as bad.
The time I spent in confinement with my herd I have to remind myself to start using that term was not bad in fact it was a honeymoon compared to Ed. From what I could gather was after we left Twilight and Jenny had Ed magically stuck to the bed as each one of his herd took their turn with him multiple times mind you. The other news I discovered was Kate is now the lead mare of Spike's herd or is it horde that aside the two mares are friends of my girls, a Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. This had come about when the two mares were accosted by some stallions on their way home Kate and Spike were in town and saved them in which both showed their gratitude by showing their gratitude. I learned that the two were what the others called Bi which meant they liked both mares and stallions which most of the mares in Equestria did I learned this when I was with one of my herd the others took care of the rest. I will admit when I learned this I was shocked but after seeing my herd practice it I became very aroused.
Journal Entry April 20, 1914
It has been five days since the heat started and during that time a new addition was added to my herd making the total eight, one Zebra, one Griffon, two Dragons, one Earthpony, one Pegasus, one Unicorn, and one Alicorn princess. Let me explain how this had come about it happened two days ago my herd and I had just settled down after a morning of mating to begin breakfast when we heard a scream coming from close by. Looking out the window at the sight made my blood boil four stallions were holding down a young mare who was screaming no repeatedly. Without thinking I ran out of the clubhouse with Barb, Ember, and Gabby on my tail the one that had the mare pinned down was about to rape her. So I ran full force hitting him in the side knocking the guy away from her. the other three were about to jump in until my girls landed behind me all growling and in Barb and Ember's case shooting flames out of their noses. This was enough to detour the stallions who opted to run away. I moved closer to the young mare when I noticed she had wings and a horn, but I could have sworn that there were only three alicorns Celestia, Luna, and Twilight the came when Bard called to her.
“Flurry Heart what are you doing here in Ponyville alone and during the heat?” Barb asked as Flurry flung herself at me holding on for dear life.
“I, I came to see Twilight because of a fight I had with daddy but I didn’t know the heat started until I showed up,” Flurry answered as she held on to me.
“What do you mean until you showed up?” Ember asked her before the scent was noticeable.
“ When I got here the streets were empty and then I started to feel funny you know down there,” She said pointing to her nether regions. “ So I tried to get to Aunty Twili’s but then those stallions found me and, and...” Was all she said before breaking down to cry once more.
Lifting her up I carried her back to the clubhouse as she held on to me for dear life, but when she took a sniff of my chest and began to purr I started to get worried. We made it inside just missing a group of ten mares where the others greeted us with worried hugs but when they saw who was in my arms their faces grew concerned looks. Zecora stepped up placing her hand on Flurry Heart’s forehead with a gasp she stood back looking at the two of us with a smile that turned to a frown.
“ It is as I feared this moment of dread, You must breed this young one, or by this night she will be dead.”
I looked at her trying to understand what she meant when Sweetie spoke up.
“Oh-oh, I know this we studied it with Twilight when an alicorn goes into heat her true heat her magic becomes unstable and becomes life-threatening to the point they could die.”
“So you're telling me I have to have sex with a twelve year...”
“Sixteen, I’m sixteen and legally an adult for an alicorn,” Flurry said as she started to whimper and wiggle in my arms. “Please Michel please I can't stand it my magic it hurts”
Zecora wasted no time taking us to the bed as she helped Flurry out of her clothes while AB helped me out of mine. I laid down on my back as instructed as Flurry climbed onto my lap.
“This is the best way for the both of you to breed, I will stay and make sure this young one has taken your seed,” Zecora said as she tried not to laugh at how much we both were blushing.
Journal Entry April 20, 1914
So as of now, I have a herd of eight mares well two dragons, a griffon, and six pregnant mares and yes Zecora confirmed that all of them even Flurry Heart are indeed pregnant. But I am afraid I will never see or hold any of my wives or children again as I am now locked in a cell in the deepest part of the dungeons in Cantorlot. I am just lucky I was able to keep my journal to write in or I would surely go mad, I can not tell if it is day or night as I am far too deep to see the sun anymore. I must get this all down before thirst, hunger, or fatigue set in and I lose the strength to write. It was the day after when Estrus or The Heat as most called it was finally over I never felt more relieved than at the sign of the sun peeking through the curtain of the window. I was free, free to walk around the town without fear of being attacked by a half-crazed mare looking for a good time. But that was not the case it seemed that when Flurry and I reached our duel climax her magic sent out what best could be called a beacon to let her parents, Twilight, the princesses, and over half of the Equestrian Army to our location. The moment I saw who and what was outside I did the manly thing and tried to sneak out a window, I may have lived in New York for a time but I was not going to face down an angry pair of parents one being an alicorn and the other a stallion one foot taller than me not mention all the rest.
I was unable to plead my case as I was teleported away by Prince Captain Shining Armor with a promise of pain and suffering for what I did to his little angel. Before I was whisked away I could hear my herd defending me for my actions Flurry being the loudest. So now I just sit here awaiting my fate, maybe I’ll just be exiled I hope if that happens my herd could come with me I’d hate to think of the alternative execution but that wouldn’t do that would they, I mean from what I read in their history that form of punishment went out a long time ago. But maybe they brought it back, I can’t think of that now as I can hear hoof steps coming closer. I stand and wait for the guards to come and do what their order, when the door to my cell is opened I am tackled to the ground by my herd who are all talking at once. From what I understand is I am free to go but I must appear in front of the Royal Court so making myself presentable we made our way there. Looking upon the faces of the girls all looked a little fearful this did not bold well for me once we arrived outside the doors to the throne room I took a deep breath before pushing the great doors open. The girls entered first when I was about to move one of the guards looked over towards me and said “Good luck you're going to need it” before he pushes me through the doorway.
Journal Entry April 21, 1914
I find myself awake in what appears to be a hospital room and for the life of me, I can not remember how I got here. Looking back to what was yesterday I recall walking or more like being pushed into the throne room where I could see my herd mates, Professors Challenger and Summerlee, as well as my brother his herd and what I believe, are Spike, Kate, and their herd. But what caught my attention the most was not any of that nor the princesses who stood upon a dais looking down at me, but a seven-foot-tall stallion moving quickly towards me with murder in his eyes and a raised fist. I heard someone call out to him to stop but it was too little too late then everything went black. And I find myself here, I hold no ill towards the man uh stallion for how he acted I would do the same if roles were reversed that is if I could remember what happened and truth be told I don’t think I really want to know. The door to my room opens to reveal my herd I really should just call them wives as that is what they are to me. So my wives come in with Flurry being the last as she is pulling her father in the room by his ear. Standing there looking not so happy they all turn to look at Shining Armor and with a punch to his stomach by Flurry Heart he apologized for knocking me out.
“Now see Daddy, that wasn’t so hard, but if you ever hurt Michel again I will never speak to you and you’ll never get to see your grandfoals,”
He just huffed and apologized again before leaving the room once he was gone Zecora walked to the door and locked it before turning back to me.
“ For the time you were gone was a terrible fright, Now that we are all alone you shall satisfy us all tonight,” She said as they all began to strip.
Sweetie used magic to enlarge the bed as they all climbed in making it more comfortable for all of us, and I had to wonder if this is how my life will be like from now on I don’t see any problems.
I did find out later that night that Shining Armor was not only berated by Flurry but by his wife as well the Princess Mi Amora Cadenza or as she preferred Cadance who was the Alicorn Princess of Love. So now I know for a fact there are five alicorn princesses Celestia is the sun, Luna is the moon Cadance is love Twilight is friendship and magic, and Flurry Heart she is the Alicorn of Light, but not the light like Celestia’s it is the light that is in everyone's heart or more precisely the Soul. My only wish is if others somehow come to this world that they leave their hated, foolish beliefs and closed minds of the possibility of magic behind are they might just miss the fun.
