This is the story of G the Gryphoness

by ChiefKitsune

First published

After a horrible series of events that leave a certain Gryphon and a young man both dead in their worlds. One finds his life changed forever by a goddess.

This story is going to be similar to the story "Love...... Seriously?!" In the way the main character ends up in Equestria as someone else.

This is the story of a young man named Christian who died but had his spirit saved by a certain goddess to replace a special Gryphon's spirit after she suffered a horrible accident leaving her body without a spirit.

Though a certain chaos spirit thinks that the future will be very interesting even without his input. Though that doesn't mean he won't be making plans for when he is ready to let the ponies know of his freedom.


(A/N)
This story will include things like; (warning Major spoilers) Male human to female gryphon, futas, futa on female, female to futa, impregnation, lots of cum, large cum factories, minor expansion (like swelling balls or breasts), and the dirtiest kink I can think of....Romance
I'll be adding more as I think of adding them to this story. In other words, those listed are mostly what I have planned.


If you don't like any of this then please just leave my story alone no need to post toxic comments or send me toxic PM's. As I did put the Fetish tag on meaning this wouldn't be a vanilla love story, I am hoping for some naughty times between characters. Though that is to say I don't want it to be nothing but smut I want to have story too and possibly romance if I can figure out how to write it.

(07/03/2020) As of now I am going to be writing alternative chapters to the sexy times where both Gilda and Dash are female. It is unknown if I will keep this up, it all depending on how you the readers respond to it as well as how time-consuming it becomes.

(02/12/21) So I'm going about and rewriting this story a bit to make it flow better. That being said I'm not sure if I should leave the old chapter versions up or to take them down which do you think I should do readers? I also changed the name of the story a little bit to better fit. Also I added the tag warning Suicide/Self-Harm for this story as you will see with the new chapter 1.

(02/14/21) Holy Hell I'm on in the Top Ten stories that you see when you arrive at the main site! I have no idea if that means I'm Featured or not but. Shit it makes me feel good!

(07/05/2020) Ok in the last published chapter some major changes happened and not everyone will like so I have decided to write an alt version of this whole story and publish it separate as a stand alone story since it will diverge greatly from this one rather quickly. And I will put a link [HERE] once I have it published. So you readers who don't like the turn this has taken can see it in a different view.

Prologue: The accidents

Flower Street, Ponyville

A low growl came from the throat of an irate gryphoness making sure ponies had a reason to give her a wide birth. Though the street was practically deserted as most of the town's ponies were back at the party. The very party she just left after her closest friend said they wanted nothing more to do with her. Her pegasus friend had decided that she was no longer welcome in their life, so she left. Dash had hurt her beyond anything any bully had done to her in her whole life, and unwilling to let her know how much she had hurt her, Gilda pretended to be angry and flew out of the bakery seemingly in anger.

But now that she was alone the tears began to form at the corners of her golden eyes. As she lost herself to her pain she failed to notice the towering skeleton of the future rec center being built. Unnoticed by the sorrowful gryphon the beams began to creek and groan having been left unfinished leaving them unable to hold their own weight up.

It was with a thundering crash that brought the party to a halt, soon the ponies were gathered around the collapsed frame of what would've been a new community rec center. But that wasn't what had everyponies' attention it was rather the bloody and broken form of the mean gryphon that they had all too happy to see leave. Making a select few feel guilty about how they had treated her.

Her toned and supple form was beaten and bloody with her shorts and top being torn and soaking up her blood. Her left wing was bent at an odd angle meaning it was almost certainly broke or at least dislocated. But before anypony else could get a better view a blue blur followed by a rainbow contrail rushed in and grabbed the gryphon before speeding off towards the hospital.


Somewhere in Wisconsin, USA

I let out a groan as I struggle to see the lines on the road through the rain and darkness of the late hour. Grumbling to myself about having to drive my drunk brother back to his apartment after he and his friends decided it was a good idea to get drunk in the middle of nowhere, again.

Suddenly with a flash of lightning giving me a better view of the road giving me a second to see the massive tree trunk across the road so close I could see the details of the bark. Slamming my foot on the break while screaming enough curses that even a sailor would blush at, but I was either going too fast or the wet road was too wet I will probably never know. However, what I do know is that time seemed to slow to a crawl as my car smashed into the trunk and began to crumple like a piece of paper. Soon the pressure shattered the windshield sending thousands of shards of glass into my face but before the pain even came everything went black and I heard a soothing female voice say.

"I have an opportunity for you."


After what felt like an eternity I realized that the pain hadn't come yet, nor had my thoughts stopped buzzing around my brain. Many on how confused I was to not feel the expected pain and still be able to think, then there was this warm fuzzy feeling I was getting from all over my body.

So slowly I inched my eyes open only for them to shoot open at what was before me, looking around my eyes were met with a soft white light of a moonlight field with the most clear and star filled sky I had ever seen. The field itself was filled with a waist high grass and blooming moonflowers, they're pure white heads drinking in the soft moon's glow.

It was as I was wondering if this was heaven I was momentarily blinded by a flash of light from the moon as a star made its descent to the field. As I watched it connect with the flowers it morphed into a tall anthro mare with a cream coat and flowing crimson locks for her mane and tail. She was wearing a simple white dress that made me think of purity and goodness, because with her wings she reminded me of an angel. Though with the soft grass and tall flowers I was unable to see her legs or how short the dress was.

What had my attention was her face it was a muzzle similar to a horse's with a kind smile shining to her eyes as she began to move towards me. I noticed the large beautiful wings on her back as well as her horn telling exactly who this pony was. That however didn't help me out of my shock as she stopped before me and giggled at my expression. So I ask the only things that came to me first I asked "Are you an Angel? And is this Heaven?"

This of course got her laughing, she even snorted from how hard she was laughing causing me greater confusion, and just as she was getting herself back under control she peeked up and saw my face which set her off once more.

Finally, after some time she calmed down and said "No I am not an angel but yes this is a version of Heaven that my youngest created for those who found comfort in the night."

"You mean Luna?" I blurted out to which she smiled and nodded.

Before I could ask anything else she began to explain, "Yes and yes, Christian, I am Faust the mother of Celestia and Luna as well as the creator of Terra the planet home to Equestria and many others." She gives a sad sigh before continuing. "I'm sorry to say but you are dead in your world. After your moving carriage hit that tree it burst into flames and it wasn't until the next day that the flames had stopped, and a local farmer found your crash. I brought your spirit here instead of letting you pass on because I have need of you. One that I think you will like."

Too shocked by everything I was just told I could only nod for her to continue, "Well you see the world that you know as My Little Pony is real and though I am powerful I am not all knowing. So before I could intervene a terrible accident happened to an important person in my world and even though I was able to save the body enough for it to survive. I was not fast enough to stop her spirit from moving on and it has already moved on. So that's where you come in as your human body was beyond saving even for me, but I was able to catch your spirit and I have a body that needs to live and needs a spirit for that. I'm offering you a second chance in My world..."

Before she could finish I nodded vigorously and felt a growing warmth as a light began to build from me and Faust just sighed having a feeling this would happen. And with her creation magic, it often acted without her input so before she could tell the once human about what happened and whose body he would be getting he already accepted and her magic having been waiting for the right moment began its work.


Ponyville General Hospital, Ponyville

A young cyan blue mare with a wind swept rainbow mane and tail was pacing back and forth in the private waiting room with her five other friends and Spike the dragon. She anxiously awaited news on her oldest friend who she and the rest of the ponies of Ponyville found in the rubble of what was to be the new rec center for Ponyville. Having spotted Gilda broken and bloody felt a pang of guilt for how she treated her at the party and was spiraling down a hole of despair and guilt. As memories of how Gilda had been bullied in flight camp and was as shy as Fluttershy back then, and she had to step in to stop it. But now she believes that her gryphon friend has no hope of surviving the injuries she sustained. And while Dash was correct in that she had died Faust's magic had saved the Gryphon's body enough for the ponies to get her to the hospital. So the pegasus known as Rainbow Dash grabbed her oldest friend and took off to the hospital where they took her into surgery to try and save the gryphoness. That was hours ago and by now Dash's friends had arrived to find out how Gilda was doing only to get a sad shake of the head form Dash to let them know there had been no updates from the hospital staff.

Ponyville General, private waiting room

As the young athlete worried into the night about Gilda. Dash's friends having left after giving her the emotional support she needed during the waning hours of the day. Though once it passed into Luna's lovely night the other girls had to leave one after the other for various reasons. Such as Twilight making sure Spike got to bed without staying up later to read his comics, Rarity having to leave for similar reasons with her little sister Sweetie Bell. The young pegasus eventually sat down and fell asleep from the hours of stress and worry for the gryphoness. It was around 3 in the morning before an exhausted Doctor Horseshoe came to inform the pegasus of his patient's condition.

As the aged doc opened the door to find Dash snoring away on her back, in a rather awkward position in one of the chairs. Moving quietly the older stallion gently tries to wake the snoring pegasus, having been told earlier by said pegasus to tell her if anything changed no matter what. After a few moments of gentle nudging, the sleeping pony snorts awake, blinking slowly at the room that was obviously not her bedroom in her cloud house. Her gaze slowly took in the room before settling on the haggled doc and suddenly her eyes spark with recognition and she shoots up from her position nearly smacking the doctor in the chin with her head.

As Doctor Horseshoe opens his muzzle to tell Dash about Gilda's condition he is interrupted by the rainbow maned pony. "Doc! How is she? Is she going to make it?!....." she is cut off as the doctor puts his hand up, to halt the worried pony's muzzle to give himself a moment to take a deep breath.

With a tired sigh that brings to the blue pony's attention to just how tired the doc looked, he begins. "Your gryphon friend suffered many injuries that could've easily been fatal but she somehow seems to have been very lucky. But that luck ran out quickly as she suffered major trauma to her wing which we were able to save. The most concerning part though is the major damage to her head. It's bad, too the point where we are unsure if she will ever wake. And if by some miracle she does she won't be the same, her brain took a lot of damage as well so her chances of waking are slim." the stallion heaves a sigh before continuing. "That is to say that she is stable physically and should heal within the week with the new healing techniques we are able to use. But like I said her brain was very damaged and we don't know if or when she will wake."

Rainbow Dash's face fell at hearing what the doc had to say about Gilda, as her eyes began to water at the thought of losing her oldest friend. What really got to the mare as the doctor lead her to the gryphon's room before going about his rounds, was when she thought back to how she had treated Gilda the previous day. How she realized how much she missed the gryphon when they were flying about before she had to work. Tears began to roll down her cheeks unabated as a dull pain settled in her heart as her mind moved onto the party were she had pranks ready for her old friend thinking she would be cool with them.

But, she wasn't she kept getting more and more agitated with each prank and being laughed at by all the ponies in the room. It was now that she realized that that was very much like what happened all those years ago in flight camp whenever she made a mistake. How even the instructors would point and laugh at the strange little gryphon who couldn't fly right. But what really stole the mare's breath was the look of betrayal and hurt that Gilda had shot her before she roared and flew from Sugarcube Corner.

With a sniffle and her unrelenting guilt fueled tears the blue pony approached the bed Gilda was placed on, hooked up to all sorts of machines that the weather pony had no names for. The gryphon's body was wrapped in so much gauze that she looked like a mummy. But what really drew her eyes was the bandages wrapped tightly around her head and her set wing held immobile at her side. The pony looked back to the door to make sure it was shut before she collapses into a teary-eyed fit next to Gilda as her feelings overwhelmed her and the guilt became too much.

Little did the pony know that the former human's spirit was just now entering his or rather her new body, which started to twitch and stir. This went unnoticed by the sorrow filled pegasus as she just let her tears come with blubbered apologies and pleas for Gilda to be ok for her to wake up.


Ponyville General, Room 134

I held back a scream as suddenly my new body's nerves began to fire all at once informing me that whoever I had become had suffered major damage to their body. Which made sense, I mean why would Faust need My spirit for whoever this body is if they hadn't been hurt beyond what the creator of this world could save. Thankfully the nerves slowed down to a normal rate leaving the pain to fade into the background to become unnoticeable probably helped by whatever painkillers they put me on.

As I was able to feel beyond the blaring alarms for damage I realized that I felt......odd is the best way to describe it as my drug addled mind seemed to think something important was different. But at the moment I was just lightly flexing my new muscles only half surprised to find a new set of limbs one of which hurt to flex and was immobile. Which meant I now had wings and one of them, my left by the feel of it, was broken. This annoyed me a little as I had no idea how long it would take to heal nor how long before I could fly.

My annoyance caused a new reaction in my new body that nearly shut down all thought processes as I feel my new long tufted tail swish slightly under my butt to show my mood. But before I could really experiment with the new limb coming from my ass I realized that my hearing was picking up crying and pleas for someone to wake up along with sorrow filled apologies. This added with the growing wetness on my side told me that someone close to whoever I am is here and feels guilty for something.

With an imperceivable grunt of herculean effort, I begin to force my eyes open to find the room blurry and white save for a light blue blob to my left with a mess of colors on top of what must be its head. As I blinked to clean up my vision my nose started to work and boy let me tell you, as human's we miss SO much because we have a horrible sense of smell. But of course, my new body would have better senses since I'm no longer human. And what I could smell was nearly overwhelming as an overpowering scent of sanitation filled my nose, but my new brain was ready for this and began to tune this out to pick up the scent of a pony.

Now I know what you are thinking how do I know what species I am smelling is, I grew up on a farm with lots of different animals and one of those was a pony and three regular horses. And let me tell you, equines have a distinct scent. Now I could also tell that this pony liked to work out from the slight hint of body order, they also seemed to have a very flowery scent under their body odor and sweat that reminded me of that moon meadow. Also, I was picking up a hint of something musky that I couldn't place but with each sniff, I felt my body grow warmer. So they must be a she with the added fact of her feminine smell. Now for how I knew she was a she is simple I wasn't picking up any masculine odors, such as body wash or any cologne, besides the musk that was making my body tingle. Not to mention that the pony next to me smelt way too clean to be a guy. Even if she smelt of sweat and BO, the smell of her was still rather pleasant.

This was overshadowed at the time as my vision cleared and I focused on the cyan blue pony crying into my side. With monumental effort, I opened my.....beak(!?) and asked "Dash?" which made her freeze in her crying and her head to snap up to meet my gaze. Her eyes filled with guilt, relief, and lots of hope, as she offered me a sincere smile and opened her muzzle to speak and what came out nearly caused me to blackout.

"G? You're awake?......But the doc said you might never wake up. Whatever I don't care! G, I'm so so sorry! I didn't think it through with the pranks at Pinkie's party." She spoke in one breath faster than even a certain party pony as she lunged to hug me. A hug that I struggled to raise my arms to return, which was made harder by the new sensation of her small breasts pushing into my larger ones. But before I could think on that and the implications of having breasts or the small bit of pride I felt when I realized mine were bigger, I opened my beak and let out a loud squawking scream as she had put her weight on my broken wing.

This of course made her jump back as she realized what she had done and began a flood of apologies to me for hurting me. Thankfully the pain cleared the fog in my mind from the drugs enough for me to think about everything that's happened all within the blink of my eyes.

So first I seem to have become Gilda, which means I'm no longer in a guy's body but rather a girl's, though I was getting odd tingling from my groin that put some doubt in me. This was supported by my large breasts and the empty feeling between my thighs, however, I also noticed that I still had a cock and balls though both felt much bigger than before. It was nearly enough to send me into a panic attack as I felt my new cock inside its sheath.

Two Faust wasn't kidding about the accident as I could feel my new body covered in small scrapes that were bandaged up along with my broken wing. Which hurt like a mother by the way.

Three the beings of this world are anthro so I don't have to worry about learning how to walk on all fours and since I've become a gryphon I was clear of losing my fingers for good. Even if I hadn't need to worry since we're anthro, though I could feel that I had lost one finger on each hand/talon.

Blinking away the tears from the spike of pain I looked over to see the blubbering Rainbow Dash apologizing to me over and over. So lifting a talon I place it on her arm and groan out with a croaking voice "It's ok Dash it was an accident." To which she responded with a shocked expression before it fell along with her face. As I was about to ask what's wrong she looked back up into my eyes with her own soulful gaze.

"No G, I mean I am so sorry about what happened at the party earlier with all those pranks I pulled on you and letting everypony laugh at you like they did back then." She moves in and being mindful of my wing gives me a warm hug as her tears renew and land on my shoulder wetting my feathers. As I let her cry my mind was working in overdrive to figure out what she meant.

As I returned the warm hug to try and comfort her I felt a tingle in my mind and heard Faust's voice 'Here my friend, I was able to save her memories. I hope they help you with your new life.' Then next my mind was flooded with memories, though they were dull and faded and short clips of important events in Gilda's life. I could recall these memories but they felt off and like they were dreams. But my mind pulled up the available memories of what the blue mare was talking about, hazy memories of being bullied greatly for my....I mean Gilda's small size and clumsiness at the beginning of flight camp where even the instructors laughed at me....her.

You know what even though I remember my life as a human much better than Gilda's life I am now her so what happened to her then basically happened to me now that I have her memories. Cooing comfortingly to my new pony friend and trying to give her nuzzles as best I could in my state. I croaked out another couple words for her as I said "Shhh it's ok Rainbow. Everything is going to be ok" Which she just nods as she holds me careful of my injuries as my new predatory nose was filled with her lovely scent. Even her BO wasn't bad to smell really I mean it wasn't entirely pleasent but it wasn't overripe like others'.

As I held the mare in my grasp taking in her loving hug and warm scent I began to feel a warmth settle in my lower belly along with a growing emptiness. It was then that I realized I was getting turned on by this pony's scent. Quickly I searched my new memories and found that the old Gilda has had a crush on Rainbow since she first saved her.

They also let me learn that futas while not unheard of, were often only seen as abominations by the rest of Gryphon Culture. That gave me new insight as to why Gilda was in Equestria instead of the Gryphon Dominion since the ponies were said to be more accepting and tolerant of differences. Only Gilda seems to have learned that this tolerance is only for ponies, which nearly broke her.

So one day at the edge of Cloudsdale, Gilda the Gryphon was contemplating her lot in life when suddenly a gust of wind blew the cloud out from under her. She quickly screamed and began to fall towards the greenery below with her wings locked to her sides from fear. Only to be saved at the last moment by a cyan blur that was in fact Rainbow Dash.

RD then brought the small gryphon chick back up to the place she fell from and asked if she was ok. After a little bit of silence from the chick Rainbow finally got her to open up. And boy was she surprised when she heard that the chick before her also had cub parts and that she was kicked from her home and nation for being born that way. That her fellow ponies were picking on her or calling her names for what she was simply because she wasn't a pony.

Dash gave the quivering and sobbing gryphon a sudden hug and told her 'Don't worry G, I'll always be your friend and come what may I'll always have your back'

A promise that Gilda was hoping would help her now that they were grown up, and she just got removed from her family for good. She really needed a caring friend to help her deal with never having her family be her family anymore. To deal with the pain of knowing they hate what she is so much they won't even allow her to be part of their family. That also leads to Gilda living on the streets of Gryphonstone for the past few months before she was considering ending her life when she remembered the only two beings on the planet that were ever willing to be her friends.

That insight let me know why Gilda was in Ponyville and why she was so easily agitated by Pinkie Pie when she wanted to spend time with Rainbow Dash. This all was going on inside my newly feathered head as I tried to comfort and calm down the distraught pony.

Soon she had cried herself to sleep and with a show of strength even with my weakened new body I deftly moved her to my right side and covered her with the blanket that was over me and as I laid there I felt her cuddle against my back spooning me with me as the small spoon. It was like this that I fell asleep on my first night in Equestria, though it was to be a dreamless night thanks to the medication, so I wouldn't be meeting the Goddess of the Night just yet.

Ponyville General, Room 134

I let out a soft yawn as my new beak opens wide and my long tongue wiggles about as I wiggle back into the warm body behind me. A low rumble started up in by chest meaning I was purring. Purring! But I was too comfy and tired to care that I was doing something so animalistic. I noticed an underlying musky odor in my room through my ears told me it was just me and Rainbow in the room at the moment. It wasn't faded meaning the source was still in the room, but like with my purring, I gave a mental shrug and wiggled my wide hips and round butt back to get closer to the warm pony in the bed with me.

Just as I was getting comfy and was sliding back to sleep, Dash pulled her hips up and I suddenly felt something poking me in the ass and it was very warm against my fur. Opening my eyes a little I twist and lift the sheet to see what was poking me only to freeze at what I found. There between Dash's luscious thighs sat a sheath with a heavy sack which was a dark blue, but what really held my gaze was the monster horse cock poking out from said sheath. I trailed a line from the base of the thick shaft up and up until it met my soft rump, where I let it sit for a good 8 minutes as my brain was locked up.

My first thoughts were 'Rainbow has a huge cock? That is so fucking hot!' and as I suppressed a giggle as I thought about how ironic it was that she was having something I had had to deal with for over twenty years in my human life. The awkward Morning Wood.

However the longer I sat there staring at her cock the warmer I felt as the warm tingles from last night along with the emptiness in my lower belly return and begin to grow. Then when I nearly sqwaked as I felt my own cock begin to slip from my sheath that a lightbulb went off and I realized that I was becoming aroused by a cock. Now when I was a man I was straight though that's not to say that I wouldn't disagree about someone being unattractive even if I didn't find them sexually attractive but they still would be attractive to the opposite sex.

Anyway as I stared I found my face growing flush and my breathing to grow a bit harder as images of that stallionhood penetrating me making it all the more difficult to not do something. But I quickly lost the fight and with surprising control over my new tail I gently wrapped it around her shaft and with the tuft tickling her sack I began to move my tail back and forth along her length. A little bit of precum was getting into my tail's silky soft fur as I stroked her cock with it.

I was rewarded for my boldness with Rainbow moaning and bucking her hips making the head of her cock poke my virgin tailhole, which only stimulated me further. As Dash and I start moaning and getting into it I feel her hands move to my breasts groping and massaging them with her strong yet delicate fingers. With a strangled gasp as I feel her other hand slip down lower to massage my growing erection and massaging my heavy balls making me purr even louder. At this point I was looking up and back giving the futa pegasus little nibbles with my beak along her neck making her shudder in growing arousal.

As I was using my tail to aim her rod for my tailhole I froze making her let out a needy whine as I heard the clip of hooves on tile coming down the hall towards us. So shifting around I begin to nudge and call for Dash to wake up. "Come on Dash wake up. You have to get out of my bed before the nurse sees you or else you won't be able to visit me again." As I was working to wake her she was slowly coming around as the nurse drew closer to my room stopping every couple of steps to check on the patients in the other rooms. As the pony drew ever nearer so did my urgency to awaken the horny pegusas spooning me.

And finally Rainbow awoke, and with her awakening, she nearly screamed as she found us in a very compromising situation. What with her erection teasing my pucker, her hand groping my breasts, a hand cupping my full balls, and my tail caressing her sack. But she bit her lip to hold back the shock as I remained her that she has to get out of the bed before the nurse checks up on me. Blushing she nodded and slid from the bed quietly my tail lingering on her shaft longingly as it was pulled away. Quickly the blue mare rushed into the bathroom attached to my room to hide her embarrassment, as she was doing this I was trying to calm myself down by thinking about unsexy things.

It eventually worked but it left me feeling unsatisfied and a little grumpy along with an almost aching emptiness in my belly and as my cock returned to her sheath unhappy as well. While I was doing this Dash obviously was working herself quickly and with a gasp coming from the bathroom I heard her begin to run water probably to clean up her mess. As she was finishing up in there the door opened slowly to let the nurse into the room, she didn't call out because she heard the sink in the bathroom and I wasn't meant to be awake yet.

So as her eyes landed on me I flashed her a small smile and a weak wave while saying "Good morning nurse" after a few moments of her staring at me in shock. Finally, she gasped and slammed the door, then rushed down the hallway the way she came probably to tell the doc that I was up. Just as the door shut the bathroom door opened letting out a relieved but confused Rainbow Dash as she looked between me and the door. With the sounds of the nurse running down the hall away from us calling for the doctor.

Giving me a shrug the rainbow maned pony took a seat in the rather comfy looking chair in the corner of the room near the window, to wait with me for the doctor that the nurse had run off to get. Both of us occasionally looking to the other before looking away with a blush on our faces.


Ponyville General, Doctor Horseshoe's Office

Doctor Horseshoe rubbed his tired eyes once more as he fought a yawn back unsuccessfully as he was looking over the details from the injured gryphon he had to help the previous night. He reached for a mug on his desk with little wisps of steam coming from it indicating that it was still warm coffee. Groaning to himself he thought on how he only got about 3 hours of sleep after he finished up with the hen, hay he didn't even get home to sleep he just stayed in the spare room of the hospital.

Yawning once more he perks his ears up as he hears some commotion coming down the hallway towards his office that resolved itself into the day nurse running into his office door with a loud smack as she forgot to open it. Shaking his head the aged stallion moves from behind his desk to open the door and check on the poor mare. Upon opening the door the doctor found nurse Tender Hoof sprawled out on the floor in front of his door with her eyes spinning.

"Nurse Tender Hoof what is so important that you forgot to open my door, or the fact that you were running through a hospital without watching where you were going?" The doctor patiently asked since this was not the first or even the second time this same nurse had done this and each time before had been rather mundane reasons.

Sitting up and shaking her head clear to get her eyes to straighten out the now blushing mare looked up into the waiting face of the head doctor. With a nervous chuckle, she clears her throat and stands up "I'm sorry Doctor but the patient you operated on yesterday." After getting a nod from the doc she continued, "the gryphon hen that you said might never wake up," another nod the nervous nurse finished "Well she's awake and talking alread.......y?" she finishes confused as where the old stallion stood was open air with the sound of retreating hoof steps fading down the hallway she just came from.

Ponyville General, Room 134

I tilt my head to the side as I hear rushed clopping of hooves pounding on tile as a much larger pony, probably a guy from the sound of it, was running down the hall. Soon enough I looked to the door as the running stopped letting me hear a heavily breathing person on the other side of my room's door as he, I could just tell. Loudly tried to calm his breathing to seem professional as he opened the door. And as soon as the door was open enough for him to see me our eyes met and he nearly fainted for some reason.

"Hobba.....you-huh....." he babbled before stopping and taking one more deep breath before starting over "Good Morning miss EagleFeather," Which got a noticeable wince from me as Gilda's memories returned with her family kicking her out. "Is something wrong?" He asked concerned and Rainbow Dash looked on interested as my eyes began to water.

"Yes there is Doctor. I'm no longer an EagleFeather," I croak out as tears begin to stream down my cheeks. "My family disowned me and banned me from having their name as my own." At this revilation I hear both ponies gasp in shock as Dash feels her eyes begin to water now too.

Rainbow Dash softly asks "That's why you wanted to crash at my place? That 'family' finally did that?" She nearly growls in anger before it is replaced with guilt and shorrow so deep the ocean didn't compare. "And what did I do? I treated you like those jerks back at Flight Camp, Hay! I never even thought that something was wrong when you kept lashing out at Pinkie beyond you might have changed." I look up and find her nearly balling her eyes out as she continues "Bucking Tartarus! I....I can't belive how blind I was to your pain G. T-there is no way I can make this up to you, I'm so sorry!" She finally breaks and lets it out. With the ever-present 'I'm so sorry G' , 'I didn't know', and so on escaping from her as the Doctor and I waited for her to get herself back together.

Silently the Doctor nods to me letting me know he'll let me and Rainbow have privacy to talk it out before he returns. I nod in thanks before he shuts the door quietly as he can. Thus leaving me with an emotionally distraught pony who after I opened my arms for a hug she was suddenly within getting comfort from me.


After about an hour of her crying and saying sorry to me, the doctor returned looking like he had shed a few tears himself with slightly puffy and red eyes. But being the professional he is he begins. "I hope I didn't offend you miss Gilda, I'm very sorry to hear that, and I've updated our files too." I nod as he looks at me. "Now I hope you are not in too much pain from the incident yesterday."

I think about it and after finding nothing really hurt or was uncomfortable I shrug only to gasp and bite back a string of curses as my wings move to shrug with my shoulders. After a few moments to let the pain die down with teary eyes I look to the doctor. "Ah yes, you're going to have to be careful with that wing, as it was broken and dislocated in the incident. Though after a few hours in surgery I am confident that you will return to the flying ability that you had before. Though it will take time to heal." I give him a nod, while Rainbow Dash looks on with teary eyes as she litsens to what else had been injured on Gilda.

After a rather impressive list of injuries from a freaking building falling on me and being as I was now nearly made me lose it. But thanks to Dash I didn't lose my cool very much, and then the doctor began to ask basic questions like what day is it, where were you born, and so on. After giving answers as best I can with the faded memories given to me by Faust he moves to a question that makes Rainbow tense instantly "Now what do you remember from yesterday?"

When I gave him a quizzical look he explained "I am just checking on your short term memory now, Since that area of your brain was heavily damaged in the incident." he then mutters to himself "Which I shouldn't have mentioned to you or your name before asking you." Then he gives a shake of his head and turns to look at me for my answer.

Of course, I remembered the episode 'Griffin-Brush-off' but seeing as Gilda didn't end up in the hospital the same day or that they were anthro I couldn't be sure. "Um I remember I was here to see Dash again after so long and that someone here decided to throw a party for me...." making a show of thinking hard I added. "Something happened at the party I can't remember what but I do remember feeling very hurt and sad as I left." In the corner of my eye, I notice Dash flinch as if I had physically struck her at mentioning how I, I mean Gilda, felt when she left the party. As she looked back to me I could see tears at the corner of her eyes, probably from knowing her friend who she had hurt didn't even know who hurt her.

The doc nods along with my story, which is half true as I can feel the ghosts of emotions that Gilda was feeling when she left the party. No small thanks to Faust for that probably, as I finally stopped making a show of trying to remember I look to the doc and offer a shrug. He asks to clarify "Is that all you remember about yesterday?" With a slow nod from me he returns one of his own. "I see."

He then began to check my bandages and injuries to make sure everything was healing as it should and there was no extra bleeding. That was an embarrassing and long time before he finally decided he was happy with the progress so far.

And so began my first morning in this world, as the doctor left I turned to see Dash looking super down and guilty. But before I could ask her what was wrong she spoke up. "Hey G, I have to go tell them I can't work today. But I'll be back in a little bit. Also a few ponies that are my friends will be by to check up on you as well." She was trembling for some reason now. "Will you be ok without me for a bit?" And after realizing she was worried and such for me I slowly gave her a nod. With that and a comment that along the lines of me being a Gryphon and not needing company all the time. Which got a snort from her and a hint of a smile.

Ponyvill General, Room 134

I watch as Dash left my room to go do whatever she has to, whether or not she actually has to work or she just needed to talk to her friends about what happened and what she learned while the doc was here, is beyond me. So after I hear some mumbles coming from outside my door before the source left down the hall with the clop of hooves once more, 'Damn my new ears are sensitive.' I thought to myself before giving a sigh. The sigh felt odd as I was still not used to having weight on my chest from my sizable breasts. As I look down at my white colored chest, with my pink nipples standing erect from the cold hospital air, I realize I'm naked and have been for as long as I have been in this body.

With a startled squawk I pull the blanket up to cover my DD sized tits and with a bright blush, I dart my gaze left and right all over the room in hopes of catching anyone taking a peek. It took a few moments before my mind caught up to me and I realized that Rainbow was naked save for her fur so was the nurse whose only attire was a white cap with a red cross on it. Heck, even the doc was naked save for his lab coat and glasses, as I'm too busy being embarrassed by this I hardly notice the door open and admit a different nurse this one a white pegasus mare with a light pink mane and tail with her mane done up in a neat bun.

"Good morning dearie, I'm nurse Tender Wings, and I've got a light breakfast here for you." She motions to the trolly behind her still in the hall with half a dozen plates on it each covered with a large lid to keep them warm. As Tender Wings begins to look over the names on the meals with her back to me I watch as she searches the top first. Apparently, it wasn't there so she bent over to look for my meal on the second shelf. As I watched and waited I was starting to drift back to my thoughts when her tail flicked to the side, the motion activating my new predatory instincts to hone in on the movement only for my beak to drop open at what I saw.

Standing in the door way wearing nothing more than her cap that shows she is a nurse this pegasus mare has bent over and without thinking she moved her tail just enough for me to get a clear view of her mare hood. I sat there my whole head burning with embarrassment as I fought to tear my gaze away from those inviting folds. I can feel my member stirring inside my sheath when with a sudden 'ah-ha' which startled me out of my staring just in time for her to turn around holding my meal in her hands in front of her own pair of breasts. I could feel my tail flicking around next to me as well as my body heating up from the sight of the mare's flower and her slightly smaller breasts.

"here you go a simple TVP burger on a simple bun along with a small salad." She said as she pulled the table around from the far side of the bed so it was in front of me. Before she set down the plate and removed the cover to show a plain-looking burger and salad along with a glass of water. Reminding me that the doc said I was going to get a small and simple meal, though I felt like I could eat a manticore.

Soon enough she left to finish delivering the rest of the meals leaving me to eat mine, which lead to me freaking out. Why I was freaking out was that as I licked my beak in anticipation for eating I found I have teeth as well. So I promptly freaked the wig out for a good five minutes. Finally, after getting back in control I quickly ate my meal and laid back to relax since there was no TV in the room I had nothing else to do. I started to nod off and before I realized it I was fast asleep and I wasn't even awoken when the nurse returned to check on me and collect my plate.


Outside Ponyville General

Rainbow 'Danger' Dash just left her oldest friend in the hospital, feeling very down and guilty for many things. Though when she said she had to go tell work she wouldn't be working today, she was lying as she had already sent word that she wouldn't be working today. However, this didn't mean she wasn't planning on doing something important, and so with this in mind she spread her wings and took off. Flying up to be above most of the buildings in Ponyville, the pegasus angled her flight for the large tree in the distance on the other side of town.

All the while she was flying her mind kept playing the party from yesterday over and over along with finding the gryphon among the rubble and looking so fragile and hurt. She couldn't stop these from replaying in her mind which only reminded her of her failure as a friend to her oldest and dearest friend. Her guilt continued to grow as said friend couldn't even remember how badly she was betrayed by the pegasus. Soon the guilt and shame were too much and tears began to run down her cheeks as she landed on the upper balcony of the library and entered after a single knock.

"Twilight, Spike, are you home?" She called out into the library as she shut the door her voice already scratchy hid her despair well. After a second she heard the two answer from the main lobby so she went down the stairs and opened the door separating the private living area and the public space.

As the mare was opening the door Spike was about to call her out on not crashing through a window this time when his comment died a painful death on his lips as both him and Twilight catch sight of the down pegasus. As she stepped into the lobby Twilight wordlessly went and turned the sign to closed and locked the front door, before turning and giving the blue mare a hug. "What happen Rainbow?" the lavender mare asked softly after a few moments of letting the pegasus feel the comfort of the embrace.

As she asked this Twilight was moving the two of them to the seating area of the library with Spike following in concern for the usually stoic and brash mare. Soon the three of them were seated and as the two beings from Canterlot watched in concern as the tears continued to flow from the third's eyes.

"It's G," she started only to get looks of confusion from the two so she clarified "Gilda, from yesterday at the party." at hearing this the two purple beings nod and motion for her to continue. "Well, she woke up last night even though Doctor Horseshoes said there was a very strong possibility of her never waking up. And as she looked around the dark room with confusion it was washed away when she looked at me and with a smile greeted me." As Dash is talking her rough voice starts to crack a little as her emotions swell. "And I was just so happy to see that she was awake, and so I stayed the rest of the night." Blushing she leaves out how she slept in the bed with the injured gryphon. "And this morning after we both woke up, Nurse Tender Hooves told the doc about G being awake. So he arrived soon afterwards having run the whole way in shock that she was awake after everything that happened."

Taking a breath to gather her thoughts she continues "That's when he started to ask what she remembered," looking up with a broken expression on her face, shocking the others she goes on. "She doesn't remember much from yesterday beyond us spending the day together and going to a party to welcome her to town. She doesn't remember the party itself beyond what she felt and she said she felt great pain and sorrow before drawing a blank." As she tells them Dash nearly breaks down but she pushes on. "She also barely remembers how we met and being friends even Fluttershy." Gulping down her tears she forces herself to continue. "She doesn't remember how badly I betrayed her yesterday at the party, or how we'd grown distant over the years since I moved to Ponyville with Fluttershy. She barely remembers her old life at all! And....and....." Dash starts to feel her strength waver as she forces herself to admit that damning truth. "and it's all my fault!"

With that she breaks down and sobs into the unicorn's shoulder lamenting how the gryphon doesn't even know it was her who caused her the pain at the party or that it was her driving her away that she was anywhere near the construction site. And the shocked Twilight and Spike could do nothing more than try and comfort the distraught mare as her emotions run free for the first time in a very long time.


Outside a window of the library.

A spectral mare smiles a small sad smile as she watches as the Rainbow maned pegasus lets loose her true emotions with her friends. She knew this was going to happen and while it may hurt those beings she cares for she knew it must be done for a better future for everyone on the planet.

As the crying mare was engulfed in a hug and being comforted by the two librarians she begins to float towards the hospital to meet her newest friend.

Ch. 5 A sudden bout of Chaos (Rewrite)

Moonlight Meadow

I suddenly find myself back in the moonlight meadow from before to find the still super sexy Faust sitting in a garden chair waiting for me next to a table with tea and snacks on it. Blinking I slowly make my way towards her, taking in her full beauty which is when I notice I'm not a human here but rather my new futa gryphon self. Which makes me blush which gets a giggle out of her before I'm dressed in Black sports shorts that do nothing to hide my large balls or sheath and a sports bra.

Letting out a breath at finally having some clothes on even rather revealing and sexy ones I move to sit in the open seat. "Hello Lauren, thanks for the clothes" I nod as she offers me some tea.

"Oh its no problem G. I mean you are going to be a very special person in the world soon." she looks to the third and empty seat before grumbling "If he ever looks at the clock that is" Before turning to give me another smile.

As I open my beak to question who she was talking about when with an explosion of confetti that would do Pinkie proud a certain master of Choas appears in a swave arm back chair where the garden chair had been before with a glass of chocolate milk in his talon. A wide smirk on his face as he looks at my face to find me holding back laughter while the mare beside me just has her head in her hands and groans.

"Oh Lauren dear I already love her!" He cheers finally pushing me into a laughing fit as Faust just grumbles and groans about her husband Discord. Next thing I know I'm sitting on his lap looking like a child as he begins to stroke my feathers like a parent does their with their child. This of course gets me giggling some more before with a flash of white I'm back to normal well my new normal and in my chair with Faust glaring at the God of chaos.

"Alright that's enough," she states imperially to the two of us. "Now, G. I'm sure you're about to ask why he's here and not a statue. Well to put it simply he is my other half, we rule over this world together, and while he likes to be a bit more meddlesome in mortals affairs than I. Our daughters could never properly hold him in stone." She then gives me a stern look. "Do not tell them that the statue in their garden is just that a statue. For they tend to get a bit over-excited when it comes to their father."

I nod while Discord blows his other half a Rasberry, literally a Rasberry flies out of his mouth and strikes her in the muzzle making me laugh once more. "oh come now dear don't be such a wet blanket like our children." he teases.

"Fine, anyway G, just as my daughters promote harmony, they are also causing stagnation and racial rifts to form between ponies and everyone else." Faust begins. "Now I needed you to take over for Gilda for more than just trying to save someone. You see we need a human on Equuis to bring about change for us as our avatar." Discord gives a slow sagely nod being oddly serious.

He continues "As Fausty is saying you are going to be the new avatar of chaos. Though not to the level I cause which has the same problems as my wife's harmony. You are to be the balance the world needs to bring about change and improvement without going overboard." He gives me a hard look before smiling to me. "in other words we are going to give you some of our power which will grow as you learn more in our world. And you are going to show our daughters that everyone needs a little chaos in their lives."

Gulping from the hard look I look back to the mare and find she is nodding along before picking up "I'm sure you have many questions. However your awakening has already begun, you will need to search out Twilight Sparkle my granddaughter to help you learn my aspects of your new powers." She giggles as she drops that bombshell on me.

"Hold on Twilight is your grandchild?!" I scream before suddenly looking down and muttering "That explains so much actually with her borderline insanity and overpowering magic. Huh, I don't know why no one thought of that before" This of course gets discord to giggle while Faust just facepalms.


Ponyville General, Room 134

I yawn widely as I begin to wake up, I blink my eyes against Celestia's glaring sun as I feel my awakened power flooding through my body causing me to let out a moan of pleasure. I gasp as I feel myself suddenly erect and dripping wet, looking at the door nervously. I begin to remove the blanket from covering me to stare at my impressive member standing at over a foot long fully erect with a flared head giving it a similar appearance to a horse cock.

Reaching forward carefully with my talons I gently grasp my throbbing meat and begin to run my talon tips up and down my length shuddering in growing need at the sensation. One of my talons moves up to pinch and tease my erect nipples while I move my other talon down to fondle my very full balls. Bucking my hips up and arching my back I moan as precum begins to leak from my tip and my talon cupping my balls moves back to stroking my member.

My hand on my breast that was playing with my nipples moves to sneak behind my balls and barely brushes against my new clit making me lock up and nearly cum right there. As I tease my folds and clit while stroking my cock I slip a talon into my warm depths only to bite back a screech of pleasure as I orgasm my inner walls clamping down to milk my talon while my cock erupts with cum which I end up catching in my gaping beak while a little lands on my face and tits.

Swallowing down my own jizz I'm left panting and idly using my hands to clean up the rest of my cum and feed it to myself, though I'm not sure what I can do about my femjuices on the bed when I feel a pulse of power from my core and they are clean though they are still heavily scented of a needy female.

Ch. 6 Um....I can explain

View Online

In the hallway outside of Room 134

Rainbow and her friends plus Spike the dragon, were on their way to check on Gilda. As they near they hear panting and gasping from the gryphon making them give Dash a confused look. They were confused because when they got called to the library to talk before coming to check on Gilda, Dash had told them what state she was in but she seemed fine and in no pain.

As they were about to open the door they froze as the two unicorns in their group let out gasps and shivers from the sensation of powerful magic was used. Magic on the level that only Alicorns were known to have as well as Discord but the level of his power has been undersold thanks to Celestia and her censorship. Not to mention that only about a few beings on the planet knew he was still alive, so it would never occur to almost everyone that it might be Discord.

As they stop and look to the unicorns in concern and curiosity for what happened when the author's agent gets the hint and opens the door and pushes everyone into the room. All of the other's questions about what the mage's in their group felt died horrible deaths at the hands of what was in the room before them.

It was a simple cream colored room with neutral yet warm colors and sparse furniture save for the recliner and two folding chairs for visitors along with the large hospital bed and several machines attached to the occupant of the room. But that wasn't what caused the death of so many questions and the birth of many many more, it was what the being in the room was sporting that held their gazes. For there on the bed sitting up and looking rather flustered at them was the gryphon they met so recently trying to cover up the raging erection from her new pink dick. As well as stifle her moans at how sensitive her new equipment was.


Ponyville General, Room 134

I feel my face burning up as all the elements as well as Spike stared at my newly acquired cock and balls. The first of the two was at full mast pushing over a foot long and maybe two inches around at the top of the knot as it tapers into a point at the tip. I am so embarrassed but even more disturbed by my thoughts as instead of just embarrassment like I would've thought I'd be feeling I was feeling more than a little bit of growing arousal at the sight of those powerful mares. The worst part is that the changes ramped up my sex drive so now I find images of bending each of them over while getting railed by Dash.

So for what felt like an eternity of great embarrassment and more than a little arousal that I felt the piercing stare of seven sets of eyes on my new junk. In a vain attempt, I was trying to cover it up with my talons which only caused pleasure and the desire to moan and keep striking my shaft, in front of the elements and Spike. But I held this new desire in check as after the eternity I tried to clear my throat before saying "Um......I can explain......" which seemed to break the silence the room had gained.


Outside Room 134

With that simple sentence, they all shrieked or in Spike's case yelled, and ran from the room blushing furiously from the sight. As soon as the seven were outside they shut the door and proceeded to react in their own ways, first was Twilight Sparkle muttering how this was impossible. The second was Apple Jack with pulling her stetson down to cover her red face, next was Rarity who summoned her fainting couch and promptly fainted. Next, was dear Fluttershy as she had fainted in the room while Pinkie had brought her into the hallway and was fanning her. Though the most effected was Rainbow as her flared blue cock was bringing to slip from her own sheath at having seen what she had. However, her election was stopped by her immediately thinking of unsexy things, like taxes, well mostly taxes as that was the most unsexy thing in the whole multiverse. And finally was the adolescent dragon named Spike who was still trying to process what he had seen in there.


Back with our heroine

I stared and blushed as my raging boner stood tall as those six mares and the dragon disappear from my room before I could blink. Finally after concluding they weren't coming right back in I sighed and glared down at my offending boner as I mutter a curse to Discord. With another sigh I look to my side to see a box of tissue paper and feel like I should rub one out, but I quickly discard that idea as I didn't know when they would be back and it was already awkward enough as it was without them walking in on me masturbating. So I did the next thing and began to think about Taxes, my usual go too when I need to calm down, I think I felt a great deal of amusement from Discord through his magic.

It wasn't long before my new cock had retreated into my sheath, which is one of the strangest things I've ever felt, as I was left feeling a little frustrated. Though whether that was at Discord, my new equipment, or the fact I didn't get any relief, I still don't know.

Still it wasn't long before they returned along with the doctor who I assume they told about this new development which he had to check on for himself. I wasn't surprised I mean even in a world of magic I don't think it's normal for a fully female patient to grow an impressive member and testicles to go with it. So with the girls, spike and I blushing I quietly waited for them all to enter all of us blushing brightly still. Before they came back I had recovered myself in the thin sheet on the bed to protect some of my dignity, which was a lost cause for as soon as the door closed behind the last pony the doc spoke up.

"Ok miss Egalefeather I've come to clarify what these ponies said they saw when coming to check on you." he motions to the elements and Spike. "They say that you seem to have grown a penis as well as a pair of testicles which is unheard of anywhere. So if you'd please" he motions to the sheet I was still using to cover my body up to my neck. Looking between him and the others in the room I remember my discovery that these ponies don't do modesty like humans do so with a sigh I drop the sheet letting my large breasts to be revealed first. Next was my new sheath and apple sized balls which made the stallion's eyes bug out at the sight. I even heard him mutter how impossible this was along with how this happened.

After a quick look over in which they found I still had my vagina and that my male equipment seems to be real and functional. The doctor asks if I had any idea how this happened. I knew I couldn't tell them the whole truth but thanks to a flash of a recent memory from before Gilda arrived in Ponyville she had been traveling through the Everfree. So latching onto that I quickly spun a little tail. "Well Dr. Horseshoes I think its because I was traveling through the Everfree forest to reach Ponyville......" here I was cut off by a scream from the girls about the Everfree and Dash demanding to know why I went that way to get to town. But she was quickly pulled back by Apple Jack and the doctor asked for me to continue. "So I don't remember much but I think I came across a blue flower called Poison Joke."

Horseshoe nods in understanding having dealt with a Poison Joke case when he started his job at Ponyville General all those years ago. "I see and how long ago do you think was that you came into contact with said plant?" he asked to which I told him a few days at least which got him to frown. "Huh I've dealt with a case of Poison Joke many years ago and they also didn't have anything strange happen until a day after. However, they were too embarrassed to come to the hospital for a whole week by which time the changes are permanent." Shakes his head with a small frown still on his face "Though why this change didn't happen till now after the time the magic is permanent is strange. I am afraid these changes are most likely permanent miss Eaglefeather."

However released I was to learn the effects of Poison Joke became permanent and that I had the excuse of not remembering when Gilda saw the blue flower in her overflight, I had to put on a show of being dejected and with fake tears in my eyes I tell the doctor thanks and with that he left to finish what he was doing. Sniffling and making a show of trying to stay strong while pretending to be heartbroken was rather easy for me since back in school I was a member of the drama club.

Immediately I found myself in a tight hug by Dash as she tries to comfort me saying "Shh, don't worry G, you'll learn to live with it.....like I did" she whispers but in the silent room they all heard it making the others, excluding Fluttershy, and myself gasp and for Twilight to ask for clarification.

"You mean you were the pony the Doctor was talking about? And that's why you're a hermaphrodite as well?" Looking back blushing once more at her friends hearing and learning she wasn't born with her cock and balls, she nods to confirm it.

Before the others could make Rainbow more uncomfortable I spoke up and using some of those memory fragments mentioned. "Huh, I was wondering why you had a cock when we woke up this morning." Making the others blush as Dash snapped her head to look at me with a blush even brighter than before. Innocently I asked, "Wait were they not meant to know we slept together last night?" I asked with a smirk on my beak by the end.

Looking quickly between her now very curious friends and I Dash quickly tried to explain that nothing happened beyond us hugging and falling asleep with each other. I giggled as the others looked to the mare with looks of skepticism at what she said. And after a few moments of her trying to plead that that was what happened, I spoke up and confirmed it clearing Dash of any doubt. She looked back at my smiling beaked face and punched me in the arm playfully "Oh quiet you.... featherbrain." But she didn't hide the smirk on her face.

Just as I was about to retort I let out a huge yawn making the others realize I was still injured and needed rest so with this being said they all bid farewell to me wishing me pleasant dreams and a quick recovery. With that I nodded and watched them leave as my heavy eyes slid closed and I entered the realm of dreams.
