A Diamond in the Rough
Rarity stopped to take a breather. She was currently working her way up the side of a small mountain deep in the Everfree Forest. Sweat clung to her jacket and cargo pants while her hair remained tied in a ponytail. Though one may find it hard to be believe by looking at her appearance, she is a very renowned finder of gems and a near expert when it came to making them into something worth wearing. A Gem Hunter mixed with some creative attributes.
While Pegasi have their flight, Earth Walkers had their strength, Magi like her tended to find careers that geared towards higher pursuits. That is what made her so unique. A Magi that used her talents more for creation than just simply trying to get up in the world. Of course, materials are needing in creation and that is where her talent really shined. Her magical ability to sense and locate gems.
That is what led her here to this desolate spot. A bit far out of the comfort zone, even for her. But if she was right, this place should house enough material to keep her busy for months. All she needed to do, was find a way in. Digging was considered, but after scouting, she did manage to locate a small cave on the side. Better to use her stamina for climbing than senselessly digging.
She was just below the lip of the small cave when she had stopped for her break. Breaking out a water bottle from her backpack and checking to make sure her rope was secure, she took stock of herself.
It wasn't supposed to be this long of a trip. She'd taken solo trips before and while always lonely, she always managed to get the best score on her own. But this one was different. Nothing seemed to go right lately.
She had considered turning back several times especially after that run in with a Timber Wolf. Rarity shivered at the thought of how close she came with that creature. He certainly left an impression, having torn up her cargo pants in some spots as well as wrecking her tank top, leaving her right shoulder bare. Even managed to lose one of her boots. Thank goodness she wasn't wearing her jacket when it attacked.
She managed to escape but her backpack also suffered some damage as well, leaving her with less provisions than she already had. By all accounts, she should have turned back. But she was stubborn. Even after all that, she refused to give up. Now, it all might finally be worth it in the end. She took a deep breath and climbed up onto the small cave. "Please let there be some good gems in here... Please..."
Rarity lit up her flashlight and began to crawl forward. Eventually it began to grow narrow and she had to drag her backpack behind her, now having to crawl onto her stomach. She was glad she had only C cup breasts unlike her forest caring friend, Fluttershy. Whom she swore seemed to grow half a cup size every time she visited. Any larger and her back would be scraping against the ceiling.
Just as it she was thinking it was starting to open up a bit, she felt her hand slip. Her flashlight bounced down a slop she hadn't noticed till just now. The cave seemed to slope down suddenly. The Magi tried to grab onto something, but only managed to stumble and fall forward, now sliding down the tube like a park slide.
Rarity cried out in surprise as she slid down quite a ways, air rushing past her as she picked up speed, before launching out into an open area, landing into a large pool of water.
Sputtering and gasping, Rarity shook her head and reached for the edge of the pool. After taking a moment to pull herself out and catch her breath, she laid where she was onto her back.
"What am I doing? I could be back home, working with what little I still have. Maybe go out for a small night on the town and get lucky." What she wouldn't give to find someone to cuddle up next to. This life made her wealthy and happy, but it also took a tole on her social life. Anyone she had come across, she could only see as a friend at best. Heck, it had been far to long since anyone had even bothered to show her some hospitality during her Gem searches.
Rarity sighed. "No use in crying over spilled milk. I've got more important things to worry about. I can feel some gems nearby." She got up and began to search around her.
She was in a large opening, being lit by a large hole at the top. Water was falling from the side of it, creating the pool she had just climbed out of. But then something incredible caught her eye. Just off to the side, past of the light of the cave, sat a massive pile of gold and gems.
Rarity dropped her bag and jogged over for a closer look. Her heart racing as her magical instinct appeared to have been underestimating just how much there was, for once.
Every gem she had ever known seemed to be here. Picking up a large red one, she examined it and found that it was completely pure. Almost shining in the darker portion of the cave. Just as she was about to run back and grab her bag, a thought occurred.
No way this stuff got here naturally. Someone... Or something... Had to have put this all here. Rarity wracked her brain and remembered hearing about Dragons and their hoards. Not something she had come across before but then again, she rarely looked around the known Dragon lands. This was very rare indeed. But if this was a Dragon's hoard where was...?
Rarity felt a warm draft hit the back of her neck. Rarity blinked in surprise. A draft? But this cave didn't seem open aside from the top... How can there be a... Oh... No...
Rarity turned and dropped the large gem. Standing right behind her was a fairly tall purple and green Dragon.
He stood at least 10 feet tall with a tail that seemed to be half as long. He had claws and a fairly long neck. Wings fluttered slightly. His body was slim but still strong looking. His eyes seemed to stare into her.
Rarity felt her heart drop into her feet. "H-hello there."
The Dragon looked up and down at her, seeming to regard her with curiosity. Much to Rarity's surprise, she did not feel any hate coming off this creature. Considering she was invading his home and hoard, it was miracle if she ever saw one that it did not attack her right away.
The Dragon looked down at the discarded gem then back up at her. Rarity blinked and waved her hands. "Oh sorry, didn't realize it was yours. Just really love gems and had to take a look at it. I never meant to steal it!"
The Dragon cocked its head slightly. She wasn't sure if the creature actually understood her or not. It clearly didn't speak but it seemed to be regarding what she was saying. "R-Rarity... Is my name... I love your collection, it really is something." She hoped if she kept talking, maybe the Dragon would not see her as a possible threat to his hoard.
The Gem Hunter wasn't sure what to do. There was no clear way out and even if there was, she was between a Dragon and a pile of riches. Her escape wouldn't be easy. Heck, right now it seemed impossible. She wished she knew what the creature was thinking.
To her even greater surprise, the Dragon lifted its tail, grabbed onto the red gem she was staring at earlier, and shoved it into her stomach.
Rarity fell back in surprise, now clutching the large gem. She glanced down and then back up at him. "Wait... Are you giving me this?"
The Dragon's tail moved and tapped the gem Rarity was holding. The Dragon the sat down, a small smile seeming to slowly work over its face. It cocked it head slightly again. "All my what?"
Rarity felt her jaw drop. This was unheard of. No Dragon would ever be willing to share. Let alone not devour you on sight for trying to take something from them. Was this Dragon just that lonely? Surely he is in a very secluded location. Already he seemed different than anything she had heard about Dragons before.
"Wow..." The Magi was at a loss for words. However, her brain was at least able to kick decent cutesy into high gear. "W-what is your name? I must at least thank you properly."
The Dragon cocked his head for a moment, seeming to be in contemplation. After a moment, he got up and moved to a nearby stalagmite. He then tapped the point of it with his claw.
"Yes... That is a stalagmite."
The Dragon glared and tapped it harder. Rarity blinked. "Oh, I see it's attached to your name! Um... Mighty?"
The Dragon gave a low hum that sounded like brief irritation. "No? Oh... Pointy?"
This seemed to elect a low hum once again. Rarity watched as the Dragon put his palm over the sharp object, bouncing it lightly.
"A feeling... Sharp... No wait, Spikey?" The Dragon nudged her direction suddenly. "Spikey? No wait... Maybe Spike?"
That finally elected a cheerful purr from the Dragon. Rarity had never heard a Dragon purr before. She would be lying if she said it wasn't kind of adorable. "Right then. Spike. Thank-you Spike. You have been very generous. But I..."
Before she could finish, she felt her stomach rumble. Spike cocked his head again slightly. Rarity put a hand over her stomach. "Er... Sorry, I haven't eaten in awhile." A few days to be exact. She found herself with only a few bottles of water after the Timber Wolf attack.
Spike nudged her direction, then the floor. "Is he telling me to stay put for a moment?"
The purple Dragon moved over to the side of the cave, near a large boulder. Pushing it aside, revealed a small hole and judging from the steam wafting out of it, was naturally cold. Spike reached in and pulled out something. Rarity could swear she saw some sort of meat in there before he pushed the boulder back over again. He then walked over and held out a branch to her.
Rarity stared at it in puzzlement before realizing it was covered in purple berries. Spike watched her, clearly hoping she would catch on. "These berries are for me to eat? What in the world did I do to deserve the most kindest Dragon in Equestria?" She wasn't lying. So far, this is the most hospitable creature she had come across in weeks. It was almost overwhelming. Her mind was fighting a world feelings. Most of which, a quickly growing attraction towards this creature.
Spike gave off a soft purr while Rarity tried a berry. It was purple and green, sort of like a grape but slightly bigger.
Taking a bite revealed it was one of this most sweetest berries she had ever eaten. It was unlike anything she had ever had before. Taking another one and eating it, she hummed in satisfaction. Weeks of living off of awful tasting meals and now, this Dragon just handed her the tastes of heaven.
Taking off her coat in order to make sure she didn't get it covered in berry juice, Spike seemed to eye her up and down. Rarity noticed this but smiled and continued to eat. He was being a good host, so what if he seemed to find her interesting. Actually, it was kind of nice to see someone taking interest in her. This creature already showed a level of care that was constantly boggling her mind. And those berries, they seemed to be getting sweeter as her body began to feel... Warmer.
Taking another bite out of a particular juicy berry caused some of it to splash onto her stomach and pants. Wincing at the fact she was going to extra sticky now thanks to this, she thought back to the pool nearby. After taking a few more helpings, she stood up. Berry juice began to drip from her body.
"One moment dear, just gonna wash this off."
Rarity quickly took off her tattered cargo pants and quickly walked over to the pool. She bent down to try and scrub off some of the berry juice. However, she couldn't help but notice Spike was staring at her. She was bent over, her ass out to him. Her panties had suffered a bit of damage at one point so they were showing off a bit more than usual.
She had to admit, it was kind of erotic. Being trapped in a cave with a Dragon while revealing herself, even just slightly to him. Rarity felt her hands lose their grip. Her eyes were tracking downwards on Spike's body.
Spike was clearly into her. That wonderful purple spear slowly working its way out was enough proof of that. The way those Dragon eyes seemed to glaze over her body. She was just wearing some torn panties and broken tank top at this point. Practically naked. Scratch that, pretty sure her nipples were poking through the berry covered cloth.
Whether due to the fact that this was the most kindness she had received in such a long time or the fact that the life of a Gem Hunter had been hard on her, Rarity couldn't help but find this Dragon surprisingly attractive. A growing wetness and the desire of a warm body... It was slowly becoming to much for Rarity.
The Gem Hunter got up and sauntered on over. "It seems I have managed to catch your fancy."
The Dragon seemed to be fighting against its instinct and whatever manners it may have had as it seemed to hesitate as she neared. Spike was licking his lips, his eyes tracking all over her body.
Rarity turned her back to him before giving a sideways glance. "I am going to have to drop the pretenses soon darling. It has been far to long... Please..." There was a spark in her eye as desire and lust finally took hold. "Ravish me."
Spike took a big step forward, his claws soon wrapping around her body. Rarity felt something shove in between her legs. She glanced down, now able to see that the creature was at least full mast. At least, she hoped that was full mass. It was almost half the length of her arm and so very thick. Spike began to slowly grind the object against her, making her moan slightly at the touch.
His body was so warm and those claws were tearing into what little fabric remained of her tank top. Rarity bent against a large nearby rock. Her ass now pushing against his base. She lit up her horn and tore the lower garment away. It was already going to get trashed anyways considering the shape it was in.
Spike reared back, pushed Rarity forward a just enough that he was now holding onto her wrists, and slowly began to drive the large object into her. Rarity moaned and gasped as it pushed into her. It was just has warm as the rest of his body. She could feel herself growing more wet, liquid dripping down her legs.
Rarity felt her heart beat like never before. She cried out as it slid further. It was almost too big. But after a bit of riding through it, she could feel her ass coming to rest against his stomach. The came the low growl and she knew what was coming. Even so, it still didn't stop her from crying out as Spike reared back and plowed right back into her again.
Her body rebounded, sweat began to pour from her body. She gasped as it nearly knocked the air out of her lungs. She felt him rear back again. It hurt but that pain was soon replaced with pleasure unlike anything she had ever felt before. Again and again, Spike began to work up a steady rhythm.
"OH. MY. GODDESS'!
It was going so deep. She could barely hold on. She just came but that didn't stop him. He just kept going. Over and over again, driving himself into her as he roared like a large Dragon behind her.
Rarity felt her breasts bounce with each thrust. Her hair came undone. She was now just an animal, giving into her carnal desires. Panting and moaning like creature in heat. She could feel her vision growing fuzzy. She was sure she was drooling a bit now. And still he kept hammering into her.
He suddenly pulled her back and gripped her close. He seemed to be growing hotter. Sweat was now covering her body. She felt herself slowly growing numb. Finally with a large roar and shot of green flame up in the air, she felt a rocket of hot liquid shoot up into her. Rarity felt her jaw drop as her voice went hoarse for a moment. She felt full in mere seconds and yet it just kept coming.
Spike seemed to come back to himself somewhat as he removed himself, though more kept coming and splashed onto her back. If Spike hadn't been holding her, she would have fallen over right there.
Instead, he laid her down gently. Wrapping his wing around her as he laid next to her. Rarity stared up at the ceiling in a daze as white jizz leaked from her. After a moment, she coughed and blinked. "Wow... That was... Wow..."
Rarity could barely move her legs. She was sure she was going to ache tomorrow. But none of that really mattered. This Dragon was currently cuddling her. Showing love unlike anything she had felt before. After so long of spending so much of her life constantly moving, she could finally find some rest and happiness here.
Just as she was about to slip into unconsciousness, she shakily wrapped her arms around Spike's neck. She wanted to say something but words failed her. Instead she just fell asleep with a smile on her face.
***
A Few Days Later...
Rarity casually walked out from behind a large rock. She was sporting just her coat, open with her breasts just barely peaking out and what remained of her cargo pants, now cut off and turned into a miniskirt. Rarity glanced down at herself. "You know, if hadn't saddled my life into Gem design, I probably could have made a great fashion designer."
She chuckled at the thought and walked over to Spike who was trying to shove a particularly large gem into her bag. It was already straining with what had been put in already. "Spike, you have been more than generous, if it doesn't fit, its fine."
Spike seemed to look conflicted but stopped. He instead got on all fours and looked at her expectantly. "Yes, I suppose we should be off."
Rarity walked over and sat upon Spike's back. Her naked ass feeling strange against his scaly back. Though at the same time, surprised by how smooth it was. She wiggled in her spot a bit. "I think I could get used to this."
Spike handed her the bag before extending his wings. Rarity felt her heart leap as Spike took off, out of the cave and into the sky. Rarity glanced around in surprise, never realizing just how expansive the Everfree was, now so high up in the air.
A journey that took weeks was quickly over in just a few hours. Flying was way better than walking, by far. Rarity wished she could do this more often... But then again... She glanced down. That was a really long way down. The Magi gulped, instead trying to focus on the clouds surrounding them.
As Spike soon neared the edge of Ponyville, wisely landing still well within the Everfree, Rarity jumped off and turned to hug her favorite Dragon. "Well, this is goodbye for now."
Spike seemed to look forlorn and Rarity chuckled at the look. "Not to worry though. I just need to get some things in order. Don't think you are getting rid of me that easy."
Spike playfully nudged Rarity, who smiled and nudged back. "Just remember to meet me back here in one week, alright? I hope you will be able to carry everything. I've never set up shop in some place so remote before."
Of coarse, after everything, she and Spike had managed to decide to move in together. What with his impressive hoard that he was more than willing to share with his new mate and Rarity, happy to be able to expand her work while also finding someone she can call, her lover.
Spike soon broke from the light touch and while he did look a little better, Rarity could tell he was going to miss her.
Rarity smiled and gave a short wave. "It will go by fast. We have a new journey together and I intend to see it through."
Rarity hefted her heavy bag and watched as Spike began to turn and start taking off. He gave one final glance back just as he was passing the tree line. Rarity watched him go, feeling pang of mixed emotions. "Goodbye my love... See you again soon."
Rarity turned, a determined look in her eye. "Now... Lets go see how much Fluttershy can teach me about Dragons in one week." She took a step forward and stopped, glancing down at herself and blushing. "Maybe after I stop by my shop and change first."
