> Forging a Bond. > by ThatAverageDude > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Smelting the ores. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ''By the royal decree of Mi Amore Cadenza, you are hereby invited to dinner at the crystal palace at eight P.M. sharp.'' Raymond chuckled inwardly. The fancy letter, which he just read out loud, was coated in a golden hue and smelled slightly of perfume. It severely contrasted his bland little home, which the human found quite amusing. ''This is probably worth more than all my furniture combined,'' he joked out loud, idly smoking on his pipe. Ray got temporarily lost in his thoughts. He was a simple and honest man; he didn't like royal customs and traditions, certainly not when he had to live up to them and Cadence knew this damn well. ''Then why would she invite me to an official dinner? If she wanted to catch up, I could've made something to eat for her just as easily,'' he muttered, scratching his manly stubble while thinking deeply. Standing at six feet and three inches at the age of twenty four, Ray was a man of pure muscle and strength. He worked as a blacksmith, creating armor and weapons for the crystal guard, but nowadays, horseshoes were the most requested item in his shop. Naturally, since cigars were nowhere to be found in the Crystal Empire, Ray had to resort to what his old man used to do: smoke pipe. He didn't particularly mind, as long as he could smoke, he was a happy man. Yet, even if he was the most down-to-earth man you could ever meet—literally, since most of the time he was covered in dirt and soot—the princess of love still considered him a very good friend. The human never tried to pretend to be somebody that he wasn't, so when he met princess Cadence for the first time in the audience hall, he simply refused to bow for her. He wasn't going to bow simply because her guards commanded him to do so. Even if these ponies probably considered him as a threat—because he was a hulking giant compared to them—and even if his actions were probably very disrespectful towards the ruler, Ray was going to stay true to himself. His old man had always urged him to take these words at heart: ''Raymond, my son, listen very carefully to what I am about to say. A person could take away your belongings, your family, your friends, yes my dear boy, even your life. But remember, a person can never take away your beliefs. Have faith, stay strong, and be honest. Because if you don't, and lie to yourself, then tell me; who else in life could you trust?'' Those words echoed through his mind when the guards tensed and had their spears pointed at him when he ignored their command. Ray simply perked a brow at the mediocre threat. ''Really? You expect me to be afraid of these toy weapons? How old are these, five hundred years?'' he sarcastically replied, not impressed in the slightest. Cadence just giggled at his blunt personality. ''More like a thousand years old actually,'' she corrected him sweetly. ''Guards, at ease. He doesn't have to bow for a ruler that's not his own.'' ''My lady, I assure you there's nothing wrong with our equipment!'' the captain assured the pink princess, reluctantly giving the sign for his men to stand down. ''Are you kidding me?'' Ray snorted, before grabbing one of the spears from a bewildered guard. ''Tell me captain, what kind of weapon is this?'' he asked while doing a couple of experimental thrusts with the weapon. ''That's obvious, it's a spear!'' he stated almost mockingly. ''Then why is it so heavy? It's almost impractical to throw the damn thing and that's coming from me.'' He emphasized by spreading his muscular frame. ''It's not a pike either, since it's way too short for it. The tip is very blunt, it's made from simple iron so it will corrode fairly easily over time, no langets either, it's not even tapered to prevent sagging.'' He gave a laugh of disbelief when he let his rough fingers go over the smooth pole of the weapon next, until he suddenly smashed it against a nearby column, breaking it into half. ''You see that? The wood was beginning to dry rot. That should never happen to a high quality spear,'' he concluded calmly, giving back the broken weapon to the stunned guard. ''You obviously seem to have a lot of knowledge about the subject,'' Cadence noted curiously. ''What's your name, young human?'' ''My name is Raymond Scotfield, your highness,'' he answered, getting on one knee for the princess out of respect. He noticed Cadence was very just, hence why he gave her the dignity she deserved. ''And what would you recommend, Mr. Scotfield?'' she replied cutely, referring to the outdated equipment. ''Princess?!'' the captain croaked, unable to comprehend why Cadence would even hear out this man she just met moments ago. She promptly ignored him in favour of Raymond. Clear Shield was a good captain, but sometimes, he could be a hoofful. Proud and loyal, but very stubborn. ''I would recommend a much lighter spear, my lady. Use steel instead of iron for the tip, preferably stainless so it will last a lot longer. For the pole I would recommend well-seasoned ash. It's light, but very strong and durable.'' Cadence smiled. ''Do you know how to make this particular spear, Mr. Scotfield?'' ''Yes your highness. I'm a skilled blacksmith, making one wouldn't be a problem.'' The princess spread her magnificent wings in reply. ''Then it's settled. You will make the new improved weapons for us, and in return, I'll provide a working place and all the materials you need.'' He agreed wholeheartedly, much to the chagrin of Clear Shield. After that, Ray designed new armor for the guards as well. Cadence quickly grew attached to him, and visited from time to time to have friendly conversations. The subjects were often about smithing or love. Since Cadence was the princess of love, she was immensely interested in Ray's love life, of course. He'd told the pink princess openly about it; how he got married at the young age of twenty two, since he thought he found the one. How he'd felt like the happiest man alive back then, and how he'd promised her that he would never leave her. Unfortunately, the marriage only lasted over a year, before the two got divorced. ''What happened?'' Cadence had asked with concern in her eyes. Ray sighed, before drooping his massive shoulders. ''I was unfair to her, because I put my work above my own wife. She was upset about it, and tried to confront me, but she wasn't exactly good with words. Needles to say, we had a lot of arguments. We screamed a lot and I was sick of it, so I tried to avoid it by staying up late in my workshop. That only resulted in augmenting the problems. Instead, I should've been more mature and asked for help from a counselor; you know, to talk about our problems and such.'' He was silent for a moment as he rubbed his temples. ''In the end, I realized it was foolish to marry so young. We both weren't ready yet, but drunk on love as we were, we thought it was the right decision.'' He laughed once; a pitiful laugh filled with sadness. He twirled his fingers while rocking back and forth on his chair, trying to find the right words to continue his story. ''I guess it was for the best. The last I heard of her was that she was engaged to another fellow, pretty boy if I do so say myself. Exactly the opposite of the rough piece of coal I am.'' A long silence followed when he finished his story. Raymond had expected it. How would one react to such a story? It was only natural to be left without a proper response. What he didn't expect, however, was instead of words, the gentle and warm coat of the princess rubbing against him. her wings wrapped his frame in a protective cocoon while her hooves were placed around his neck. She was incredibly soft, her feminine form almost fragile as she gave him the most comforting hug in his entire life. Warmth radiated through his being as the princess worked her magic, it felt so natural. It was almost as if an angel from heaven itself had descended on the human's lap, the sweet smell of the alicorn positively intoxicating him, making a shiver go down Ray's spine. ''You may be a rough piece of coal from the outside,'' she had whispered soothingly in his ear, ''but from the inside, I see a beautiful polished diamond.'' Ever since that moment, the princess had tried to hook him up with a female, without much result. She hadn't just limited her options to ponies alone, oh no. She had tried almost every sentient species imaginable. While the human had appreciated Cadence's incredible effort, and found the gesture very sweet, Ray just didn't see himself hooking up with anybody while he was in the Crystal Empire. But the princess of love wasn't about to give up. She still had an ace up her sleeve, and it was more than time to use it. In the dining room, a nervous, cyan colored dragoness was waiting alongside princess Cadence. Her empty stomach was long forgotten; only butterflies remained as she eyed the closed double doors restlessly. The pink alicorn gave her friend a reassuring smile. ''It'll be fine, Ember. You've met Ray once, there's nothing to be afraid of.'' The dragoness gave a big sigh. ''I know, Cadence, but I've never done something like this before. Dragons don't do dates. If we're interested in someone, we just show it with a series of growls and specific gestures, and if reciprocated, we mate.'' ''Savages,'' the princess of love muttered. ''What was that?'' ''Nothing! Anyway, I'll be here to help you all the way, Ember. Ray is a very sweet man. He may not be a dragon, but his physique sure reminds of one.'' Princess Ember had to agree with the alicorn. When she met the human approximately six months ago, the dragoness immediately had been interested. Sure, Ember hadn't really been formally introduced to him, but the way how he talked, behaved and smelled; it all screamed dragon. It was only after she heard Cadence was looking for a mate for him, had Ember been visibly excited. Shyly, the dragoness had confessed to her pony friend she would love to give him a try, and not sooner had she told, had the princess of love arranged a dinner for three, which is where she was right now. ''I just hope I can live up to his expectations,'' the hesitant dragoness muttered timidly. Just then, a loud slam was heard as the double doors were opened with a lot of strength, making the already jumpy Ember squeak rather loudly. A blush soon adorned her cheeks, extremely embarrassed that she just let that happen. If Ray noticed, he didn't comment on it. Instead, he let his eyes wander the relative empty room, soon softening as he spotted the princess of love. ''You made it!'' the alicorn exclaimed with a big smile, happily running up to him to give him a hug. ''Of course I made it, your highness, wouldn't want to miss it for the world,'' he laughed, while holding the pink princess close. ''You big liar, you hate dinners,'' she giggled in return, letting him go to gesture behind her. Standing there, unsure of what to do, was the cutest dragoness he'd ever seen. Though Raymond could've sworn he had seen her before, he did not remember when or where. Stroking his chin, he gave her a gentle smile. ''Have we met before, madame?'' Ray asked her. ''Yes we have, although it was briefly,'' she replied, hiding the nervousness in her voice. Like Cadence had instructed, Ember held out her claw to him in greeting. ''You must be Raymond, my name is Ember, lord of the dragons,'' she introduced warmly. ''The current dragonlord huh?'' the blacksmith stated, impressed before giving her a firm handshake. ''It's nice to meet you, dragonlord Ember.'' ''Likewise, I've never had the pleasure to meet a human before.'' Cadence grinned. ''Well, now that we got that out of the way, why don't we enjoy each other's company with something to drink?'' Later that evening, the trio was sitting around a massive table with a good glass of wine. ''So, what's it like being a dragonlord?'' Ray asked curiously. Ember smiled, her awkwardness quickly melting away. ''It's hard to be honest. There are a lot of other dragons who think I'm not capable enough. Since I'm far from the strongest, some try to challenge me for the throne.'' ''How does that work?'' ''Well, unlike in pony culture,'' she eyed the pink alicorn next to her with a warm glance, ''dragons aren't chosen as the next successor by heritage. Although strength is a big factor, it's everything combined what makes you a capable dragonlord.'' Ray stay silent, ushering her to elaborate further. ''Every time a dragonlord hands over the throne to a new generation, there is a very dangerous test which will decide the new dragonlord. Everybody who's interested can participate in this event,'' she explained, taking a sip of her wine. ''The goal is to retrieve a very specific item, namely the bloodstone scepter. But the road towards it is harsh and can be life threatening, even for dragons. It tests strength, endurance, coordination, speed and wit, and whoever gets their claws on the bloodstone scepter first, will be crowned new dragonlord.'' ''That does sound rough,'' Cadence brought in. ''Why can't the new dragonlord be chosen through love and friendship?'' Princess Ember gave her a flat look. ''Dragons don't do love and friendship—'' ''Savages,'' Cadence muttered again, pouting cutely. ''—in most cases. Sometimes, exceptions can be made, though,'' she finished, giving Raymond a coy look. The human laughed. ''I take it you were the first to retrieve it then?'' ''Yes, although I had some help from a friend. You see, that's why I admire ponies and humans so much. Their ability to work together is almost never seen in dragon culture. I'm slowly trying to implement it, but so far, I've only met a lot of resistance.'' ''The reason why some dragons think you are not capable as dragonlord?'' Ray rhetorically asked. ''Exactly. I think they're just afraid of change. Most complaints are just big words, but the one or two times when there really are dragons who want to challenge me, I give them that chance by letting them retrieve the scepter first. Needless to say, they always fail,'' she told with a snicker. ''But enough about me, so Ray, you are a blacksmith, right?'' the dragoness went on, her eyes half lidded and elbows propped on the table as she listened to the human. ''That's right. My old man taught me a lot of the profession. Been doing it since I was just a wee lad.'' Cadence giggled. ''Sorry, I just pictured you as a six year old, holding a hammer while smashing it down on a piece of hot steel. You would've looked so adorable,'' she gushed cutely. The human chuckled, shaking his head lightly. ''I wasn't that young when I started out,'' he retorted good-naturedly. Ember giggled as well, and took another sip of her wine. ''Your father must've been a huge inspiration to you,'' the dragoness said, her thoughts drifting to her own dad. ''My father can be very stubborn sometimes, but I love him dearly.'' ''All dads can be stubborn,'' Raymond replied knowingly, ''It's just a way to express concern. I remember my father always telling me not to go into his shop unsupervised, but since I was a bit of a brat, I didn't listen. Paid the price, burned my back pretty badly. There's still a massive scar to remind me of that event.'' ''That must've hurt pretty bad,'' Cadence sympathized softly, Ember nodding in agreement although she herself had no idea how it felt since she was completely fire proof. ''It did, absolutely. My father wasn't even angry, just disappointed. I learned a valuable lesson that day and ever since, I was interested in blacksmithing. I remember the day fondly, it was a warm day in May, 1921. I just returned from school, all my friends went swimming in a nearby lake, but not me.'' He smiled proudly. ''That day I made my first weapon, a five inch dagger with the help of my dad. I was beaming with happiness. Can you picture it? a fourteen year old sloppily stabbing a scarecrow with all of his enthusiasm? The farmer next door wasn't too happy with it though.'' Both Cadence and Ember giggled at the ridiculous scene which played out in their heads. ''Of course my dad taught me to be very careful. A weapon was for self defense, and keeping order. Only when I could recite his saying and fully understood the significance behind those words, was I allowed to smith on my own.'' Ray gave a bittersweet smile as he finished his tale. ''Unfortunately, he passed away when I was sixteen.'' ''I'm sorry for your loss,'' Ember apologized. The pink alicorn stayed silent while offering him a comforting wing. ''It's okay, it happened a long time ago. He was my mentor and even though he is gone, I will pass on his legacy through blacksmithing.'' Ray could hear his dad's last words clear as day. Have faith, stay strong, and be honest. The room stayed silent for a while, not an awkward silence, but rather one out of respect. ''Okay, let's talk about what's for dinner,'' Ray exclaimed, changing the topic. ''I hope you have some meat prepared Cadence, you can't invite two guests who practically need it.'' ''Of course I have. I know for a fact Ember here is practically waiting for some meat,'' the alicorn teased, making the dragoness blush. ''That reminds me, have you tried meat before, Cadence?'' Ray pondered. ''Yes I have, maybe I'll even try some more tonight,'' she purred, the innuendo not lost on the human. ''Is that so? I'm starting to understand why this is a dinner for three.'' He smirked, glancing at the dragonlord who was eyeing him lovingly. Not much later, dinner was served. There were various salads, vegetables, fries and different kinds of meat prepared to appeal to everybody. ''This is lovely,'' Ember complimented, happily munching on a big piece of ham. ''Definitely, it's delicious,'' Ray agreed. ''It's going to be even better,'' Cadence stated with a hint of lust, making the human smile. ''Are you trying to hook me up with Ember, princess?'' he accused playfully. ''Hmmm,'' she pondered the question for a moment, ''No. I'm trying to hook you up with Ember and maybe get some fun out of it as well,'' she replied truthfully, a cute blush forming on her cheeks. ''And what does Ember want?'' Ray asked, her hungry look more than confirming his suspicion. ''You,'' she answered bluntly, licking her lips. Ray had trouble not laughing, but who was he to refuse two beautiful ladies? Honestly, he found Ember very adorable and sweet, while Cadence was the delightful cherry on top. ''Alright. Then let's not waste anymore time here, shall we, mesdames?'' The royal throne room was truly a grand decor. Columns with the most precise sculpturing rose from each side, looking down upon you as if they were the holy judges themselves. The floor was like a sea of crystal, glistening brightly while a red carpet of the highest quality of fiber lead to the throne itself. Stained glass windows—which depicted battles of the heroes of old and evil villains getting defeated—bent the last rays of sunshine of the day in intricate ways, giving the room the most coziest of feelings. ''Why exactly are we here, princess?'' Ray questioned. Ember was just as confused. Weren't they going to the royal chambers to officially make Raymond her mate? The pink alicorn smiled lewdly. ''It's only fitting to take Ember right where she belongs; on the throne,'' Cadence dirty talked, nudging the duo towards their destination. The human had to blink a couple of times. ''Are you serious? What if somebody walks in?'' ''Then they will see you screwing the dragonlord. Isn't the fact that somepony might walk in on you not incredibly arousing?'' Cadence winked, her naughty words having the desired effect. ''Don't worry Ray, if it happens, I'll personally take care of the problem,'' the horny mare promised. ''Besides, dragons often mate out in the open, right?'' ''That's true,'' Ember confirmed. ''Savages.'' ''It's not like we are ashamed, it comes with instinct and it's perfectly natural.'' The blacksmith hesitated for a moment, but once Cadence had put him on the comfy throne—two very lustful females expectantly waiting for his decision—he was sold in a second. ''You know what? Why the hell not?'' He gave in, excitement filling his being. ''Ember? If you would?'' Cadence gestured to the bulge in Ray's pants. ''I would be honored,'' she said, almost drooling. ''I hope you don't mind me being on top?'' the dragonlord whispered in the human's ear, her petite frame hugging his chest as she climbed on his lap. Immediately, Ray could feel a hotness on his crotch, Ember's wet slit slowly being dragged over it, which made both parties moan. ''Oh my, you dirty dragoness, are you that horny?'' Cadence teased as the smell of Ember's arousal filled her nostrils. Wings extended while biting her lower lip, she slowly began to help Ember out by unbuttoning Raymond's pants with her magic. Meanwhile, the dragoness wasn't slowing down, her humping sent sparks of pleasure through Ray's spine, that damp snatch of hers exactly hitting him in the right places. Cadence wasn't helping either, her magic wrapped not only around his pants and underwear, but his hard member as well, giving him two different stimuli at the same time. ''I caught a very big fish,'' Cadence giggled, gently freeing Ray's cock from its cottony confines. Ember blushed, her moans turning more feral at the sight of Raymond's twitching dick sandwiched between her hot thighs. She only stopped for a second before she began to drag her quivering vent over his shaft again, coating it in a layer of her warm draconic juices. At the same time, Cadence's magic ran along his shaft on the rhythm of the dragoness, the pleasure filled faces of her friends and the smell of sex in the air making her very wet herself. The pink alicorn's clear fluids rolled down her back legs, her winking slit just desperately begging for attention. She ignored it for now, Cadence had to much fun guiding Ember on Ray's cock. ''Let's insert this treat inside of your hot cunny, shall we?'' the mare suggested naughtily, holding up Raymond's hard member magically to align it with Ember's opening. It practically radiated heat and oozed sweet temptation, eliciting a grunt of approval from Ray and a growl from Ember. the dragoness' anticipation was making her shudder, but just like with Ray's manhood, Cadence had her body in a magic grip, making her determine the pace, which only excited the dragonlord more. ''Does it feel good, Ray? Ember's slit so shamelessly going over the tip of your dick?'' Cadence dirty talked, ogling the spectacle like a filly in heat. He nodded his head, unable to utter more than a series of grunts and groans. A bad of pre had formed on the head from all the stimulation Raymond had received, and almost agonizingly slow, the pink princess began to bury his cock inside of the cyan dragonlord on top of him. Ember gave a low growl as the first inches of Ray's member finally disappeared inside of her hungry cunt, the sensation nothing but pleasurable for the dragoness. The same was true for the human. Raymond could only enjoy the ride, the warm walls of Ember's insides snuggling his cock perfectly, making it throb in pure gratification. Hissing as Cadence slid in more, Ember couldn't help but let puffs of smoke come out of her nostrils, her wings flapping helplessly and her tail swaying from side to side to gain more stimulation, without much result. At the same time, the princess of love couldn't hold herself back anymore, and eagerly pressed one hoof to her heated pussy, moaning while lunging forward to capture the lips of the surprised blacksmith in a sloppy kiss. Simultaneously, she led go of her magic and gravity took over, which resulted in Ember suddenly taking Ray's cock to the hilt. Both parties moaned loudly; one in the mouth of a pink princess who was busy trying to wrestle his tongue into submission, while the other was clearly heard echoing throughout the whole room. Cadence tasted sweet, which Ray expected, but there was a hint of sour in there as well, probably from the meal. It was a thrilling experience anyway. The mare was lively, not wasting any time in exploring every nook and cranny of his mouth, especially when she went over his canines. Most likely it was just curiosity, but the human found it pretty adorable anyway. Her saliva was thicker in substance as well, which only added to the alien experience of tongue kissing a pony. Every second of pure bliss was only augmented by a certain dragoness, whose instincts had completely taken over the moment she could move freely. This was the first time Ember had to do most of the work, and never had she enjoyed herself more than now. Bouncing up and down on his shaft, Ray's cock entered and left her pussy at a rapid pace, her walls contracting against the intruder as best as they could. Somewhat of a bulge was visible as Ember worked Raymond's shaft, the large male barely fitting inside of her, but she didn't let this slow her down in her frantic fucking. Looking down, Ray had a perfect view of Ember's hot pussy in action, as well as her cute little clit which almost seemed to beg for attention. He noticed Cadence had one of her hooves on her slit as well, her eyes closed as her muzzle was still firmly pressed against his lips. Without much hesitation, he moved his hands; one finding the clit of the dragoness, who only growled louder as he lightly began to play with it, while the other found the clit of Cadence, who began to shiver visibly, gently guiding his curious fingers in the right direction with her magic. After a while, he pressed all the buttons of the horny females correctly, Cadence growling playfully as he broke the kiss to breathe. A string of saliva connected their mouths, Ray panting and moaning as Ember only sped up her movements, her fluids making his shaft slick and slippery. ''Please, use those fingers of yours,'' the alicorn begged, moving her hoof away to give him access to her leaking vent. Ray complied eagerly, inserting his digits far inside her damp opening. The superior dexterity and shape of his hands made him able to bring her far more pleasure than she could've achieved with her hooves alone. Tongue lolling out of her mouth and panting heavily, she began to encourage the human. ''Yes... hgn, right there, please don't stop!'' His fingers quickly got wet with Cadence's arousal, her twitching getting more severe as time went on, marking the mare's inevitable ending. Ray and Ember weren't faring any better, the human's cock throbbed every time the dragoness plunged herself down on him, pre occasionally accumulating on the tip before it vanished deep inside Ember's draconic slit. In the end, it was the dragoness who came first. With a feral roar, her walls clamped down on Ray, milking him for all that he was worth. The extra stimulation, combined with Cadence's sudden magic on his shaft adding even more pleasure, quickly took the human over the edge as well. Spurt after spurt of his sticky semen was shot deep inside Ember, filling her snatch up completely until it began to overflow. Cadence followed soon after, the sight of Ray cumming inside Ember, while his fingers were buried deep inside her snatch, was the last straw. With a deep sigh, she let her orgasm wash over her, soaking the fingers of the human to the bone with her arousal. Blush intensifying, Ember giggled in satisfaction, giving Raymond's cheek a wet lick with her long tongue. ''That was amazing,'' she growled, quite content in keeping his dick far inside her used pussy. ''Holy...'' he muttered, laughing as he enjoyed the afterglow of the incredible sex he just had. Cadence gave him a smug smirk. ''I hope you still have some energy left in you,'' she exclaimed lustfully, looking at Ember who liked her idea all too much. ''So, ready for round two?'' > Molding the Shape. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ray breathed out loudly. Here he was, in the throne room of the Crystal palace, his dick still buried far inside the hot snatch of the dragonlord. He'd just fucked Ember—a very cute dragoness, he had to admit—and now, a certain pink princess was already waiting her turn. Cadence's eyes burned with arousal, her quivering vent practically screaming to be filled. While Raymond's dexterous fingers were a nice substitute, nothing could compare to the real deal. ''Ember, sweetie. If you're done giving Ray your treasure, I'd like to be his sloppy seconds,'' she purred, her voice sultry and thick with need. Ember gave a playful growl. ''Dragons don't usually share. We're notorious hoarders for a reason. But, I can make an exception for you, Cadence.'' Raymond had to suppress a chuckle. They weren't even asking for his permission in this debate. Not that he had a lot to complain about, anyway. He'd always had a thing for the princess of love, but since she was a princess, and he a blacksmith, he'd never had the guts to ask her out. He valued her friendship more than the rarest metals in the world, so he wasn't going to risk that on the off chance she would say yes. However, right now, he didn't even need to ask. She was ready to pound him right then and there, but the smirk on her face made Ray realize she had something more devious in mind. Cadence flapped her stiff wings once, watching with burning desire how Ember slowly came off of Raymond's member, and then nudged her muzzle against his glans. ''I love how exotic your cock looks,'' she murmured while deeply inhaling his masculinity. The smell made her drunk with lust; if the winking of her clit was any indication. The faint smell of Ember still lingered on his shaft as well, adding another layer of want and need in the horny mare. She kissed his glans, and looked at Ray with big, needy eyes who had to stifle a groan. ''I want all of it in my pussy. It needs to be filled with your dick, just like you did with Ember, until you cum and overflow me with your essence,'' she dirty talked. Ray liked that idea all too much. His cock gave a happy throb, and in return, Cadence kissed his glans again. Her hot, wet muzzle felt incredible against his member, giving him just a sip of what was about to come. Slowly, Cadence enveloped him in her magic aura, lifted him from the throne, and sat down on his place while spreading her legs wide, giving both Ray and Ember a first class view of her dampened pussy lips in all its glory. They were a slightly darker pink, but her insides were even pinker than her coat. Her clit was still winking furiously, and thick drops of her arousal stained her crotch. Her mane was a wild mess, something which made her even more alluring than she already was. She tried to even her breathing and speak regally—a part of the role-play she had in mind—but failed and it only resulted in a hot mess of words that sounded more like a needy mare than a royal leader. Nonetheless, she kept up her acting, and spoke to Ray and Ember. ''Human, dragoness!'' she began dramatically, ''how dare you try to break in into the Crystal palace?'' Raymond needed a moment to comprehend what she was doing, but once Ember answered, he understood what was going on. ''To confront you, Cadence! You have been a bad leader, who has treated us dragons and humans with disrespect. It's about time we set that right,'' Ember replied strictly, though her legs were buckling and the sweet smell she emanated didn't help her either. The fact that Cadence was so lewdly displaying herself was a major turn-on as well; both for Ember and Raymond. ''You think I'll listen to a dragon and a human?'' she retaliated mockingly, her pussy twitching with anticipation. Raymond grinned, a smug tone in his voice. ''Oh, but we didn't come here to negotiate, Cadence. We came here to show you just how we felt about you.'' The pink princess had to bite her lip. Her face was flushed with how horny she was, and it only turned worse when Ray and Ember slowly approached her. ''And what would that be? Don't you scoundrels dare lay a claw on me. I will have the both of you arrested and thrown into prison!'' ''No need for threats, Cadence. There's not a single guard in the vicinity who's going to help you now,'' Ember whispered seductively, the heat of Cadence's snatch getting very prominent. ''My human friend over here is going to punish you for your deeds, and there's nothing you can do about it.'' ''N-no, don't come any closer,'' the princess of love moaned, almost desperately opening her legs even wider. ''I won't let myself get defiled by a filthy human and dragoness!'' ''Too bad, Cadence. You don't call the shots anymore,'' Ray responded, looming over the alicorn with his hard cock. This role-playing was arousing him majorly, and it seemed Ember and Cadence weren't faring any better. ''I'm going to fuck you, princess. Right here on your throne. I'll bury my cock all the way into your royal pussy, and I'm going to enjoy every second of it.'' ''You can't,'' she sputtered, though her voice betrayed just how much she wanted this. Ember grinned, moved in and gave Cadence a soft kiss on her cheek. ''Don't worry, princess, we'll take very good care of you,'' the dragonlord whispered. She dragged her long tongue over her furry cheek until she reached her ear. ''Secretly, you would love if a human screwed you, wouldn't you? Don't deny it now, Cadence. You're nothing more than a slutty princess,'' she dirty talked, which resulted into a loud moan from the pink alicorn. ''No,'' she denied in a whiny voice ayway, actually bringing her muzzle inches from Ember's snout. ''I don't want this. You guys aren't going to use my pure body for your own selfish needs, right? I can't allow such vile creatures to use me like that.'' Ray couldn't help but grab Cadence's ass, and let his shaft go over her warm, wet entrance, teasing her and making her quiver and moan sweetly. ''Oh, but I'm already doing it, princess,'' he grunted. He let his glans go between her crotch boobs, and rubbed them against it, making the alicorn shiver. Meanwhile, Ember had moved in to Cadence's invitation, and pressed her lips against hers, silencing the pink princess with a hungry kiss. Immediately afterwards, Cadence's horn began to shine, and her aura enveloped the dragoness' twitching pussy, stimulating it and making Ember growl in approval. It resulted in Ember pushing her tongue inside Cadence's mouth, tasting her and mashing it against the alicorn's own tongue, easily wrestling it into submission. ''My, my, princess,'' Ray teased, ''it looks like you're enjoying yourself more than you would like to admit. I'm violating your most sacred place by moving my dick all over it, yet you shiver like a little filly. Don't you have any shame at all?'' Cadence didn't reply, she simply couldn't anymore. She was way too horny to do anything but moan, squeak and shiver. Ray and Ember knew exactly how to press all her buttons; the dragoness' hot tongue roaming over hers in a passionate dance, the blacksmith's slick member teasing her quivering vent while his cockhead was pressed firmly between her crotch boobs, it was all a heavenly sensation for the princess. Ember was having the time of her life as well. She'd just mated with Ray, which was an absolutely thrilling experience on its own, but she never had experienced the sheer pleasure magic could accomplish. Cadence was playing with her clit with the utmost care, while simultaneously prodding her entrance with a toy she had created with her magic. All of the skill and sexual finesse which you would expect from the being of love was present in her actions, and it made tongue kissing her that more hot. For Ray, basically seeing a dragon and pony swapping saliva in such a wild way was incredibly lewd. A carnivore and herbivore coming together in such an act of passion was the oddest thing he'd ever witnessed, but it drove him wild with lust. Cadence's boobs were so soft and hot, while her entrance was undeniably wet and simply blazing. He loved her squeaks every time he mashed her boobs against his glans, leaving streaks of his pre behind. Raymond knew he wasn't going to be able to keep this up much longer, and so, with a grunt, he angled his manhood down, until his cockhead touched her labia in a wet kiss. ''Look at you, Cadence. Such a naughty princess, about to let a human explore your deepest parts,'' Ray exclaimed lustfully. The pink alicorn only invited him in by spreading her pussy lips wide with her magic, allowing him to see her in all her glory. It was almost enough for Raymond to lose control, but he caught himself just at the last second. ''I'm going to mark your regal snatch as my own, Cadence, until I've stained your divine insides white with my cum,'' he whispered thickly. Raymond didn't wait any longer, before pushing forwards and engulfing his glans inside her inviting slit. Cadence moaned loudly inside Ember's mouth, the stretching of her pussy around Ray's manhood firing pleasure up her spine in rapid bursts. It was a feeling of pure ecstasy, and it made her do the same with Ember, who had her legs spread wide. The pink princess eagerly pushed her favourite magical created toy inside the dragoness' hot tunnel, who could only growl and apply even more pressure with her long tongue against Cadence's own. For Ray, Cadence's slit was perfection. It was very different than Ember's, being a lot softer, less tight, and very wet in comparison. He loved it all the same. The contrasts of these two beautiful ladies in both body and mind made another animal awake inside Raymond. He wanted to show how much he appreciated them, how much he cared for the pink princess and how much she had helped him. He wanted to show Ember that he adored her, and that he really wanted to have a serious relationship with her. He wouldn't be satisfied with himself until he brought that message across. So, it was not surprising that Raymond tried his absolute best to give Cadence the best experience ever, slowly inching his shaft further inside her wet pussy. ''Oh, fuck,'' he cursed. ''Cadence, you feel so good!'' He breathed deeply and eyed the scene in front of him; Cadence and Ember busy mixing their saliva together, while the pink alicorn had turned Ember around with her magic so he could see how she was penetrating the dragonlord with a big magical toy that seemed to stretch her to the max. Never would he have imagined such a sexy view, not even in his wildest dreams. Ember blushed deeply when she noticed Raymond staring. She broke the heated kiss, and panted loudly, giving him her most seductive eyes that she could muster. ''Oh my,'' she muttered, holding the flustered face of Cadence close, ''it seems the princess finally knows her place. Pleasing her dragonlord with her magic, while she allows her body to be used as a big fucktoy for her human-king at the same time. How lewd.'' Ember shook her scaly tush from side to side, her tail raised high in the air to give Raymond as much eye candy as possible. Cadence's magical toy was now inserted all the way inside Ember's slit, and she began to move it in and out in a steady rhythm, providing all the stimulation the dragoness needed. ''Good princess,'' Ember praised, hungrily kissing her muzzle again, who could only accept her carnivorous partner's affection with much enthusiasm. Raymond couldn't control himself anymore after that. All the dirty talk, the feminine smell these ladies released in the air, Cadence's soft, contracting muscles hugging his shaft and just begging him to go deeper, it was all too much. With an almost animalistic groan and a particular hard thrust, he suddenly bottomed out in the pink princess under him. Her vaginal walls gripped him like a vice, giving him pleasure to a whole other level. It was indescribable. Raymond heard Cadence's sweet squeal when he took her to the hilt, and knew she was just waiting for him to pound her into oblivion. ''Oh, yes,'' Ray muttered, his mind going in a daze with how many endorphins his brain was producing. ''You're right, Ember. This princess belongs right here, with her pussy filled and her mouth occupied.'' Ember growled passionately, and moved her tongue out of Cadence's panting muzzle. ''Yes. She deserves to be fucked into a quivering mess as a punishment for her deeds,'' she dirty talked. Cadence's flustered face still managed to stay in character, even though her snatch was already twitching like crazy at the prospect. ''No!'' she begged pathetically. ''Please be gentle with me.'' Ember grinned. ''You're way too whiny, princess. It's time we're going to silence that muzzle of yours.'' The dragoness ordered Cadence to stop pleasing her with her magic toy, and she complied with feigned fear. ''What are you going to do?'' the pink alicorn questioned anxiously. Ember didn't answer. Instead, she moved herself to a more favourable position, until her sensitive slit was only inches away from Cadence's mouth. She grabbed the cheeks of the struggling princess, who tried to resist and move her head away—without much result of course. Soon, Ember had Cadence's muzzle pressed tightly against her draconic pussy, wetting her in her arousal. The dragoness moaned, the pink alicorn's mouth a pretty good substitute for her magic. ''You better start using your tongue on me, Cadence. Otherwise, I'm afraid you won't be able to breathe much,'' she sang in a mocking tone. Cadence complied all too eagerly. She kissed Ember's pussy, and pushed her tongue deep inside, tasting the dragoness' juices. Ember growled approvingly, and began to hump her face with much enthusiasm in an effort to get more pleasure. At the same time, Raymond had slowly pushed out of the heaven that was Cadence's pussy, before re-entering with a loud smack. The results were both parties moaning in a different pitch that covered almost the entire sound spectrum; one very high, the other very low. It made Ember shiver uncontrollably. Not only because it was such an arousing sound, but Cadence's moans of pure bliss worked just like a vibrator as well. Since she was tongue deep inside the dragoness at the moment, it meant only more pleasure for Ember. It also helped that Cadence knew exactly what she was doing. She was an expert, using her tongue in such delicate ways that not even a dragon—who had far larger tongues than ponies—could hope to ever match her. Raymond helped spectacularly in that regard as well. Cadence felt so hot, and the blacksmith was tending to her heat precisely how she liked it. He was a perfect fit, and after the first couple of unsteady thrusts, he'd picked up the pace considerably. It was a surreal moment for the pink princess. The wet slaps of Raymond's balls against her puckered asshole echoed through the room every time he took her fully, and the feeling made her go high on ecstasy. His shaft stretched her inner walls so tightly, sweet squeaks escaped her throat at the mere thoughts, all while the addicting juices of the dragoness on top of her coated her tongue in a warm bath. ''Yeah, princess. Take it,'' Ray grunted, high on pleasure as he was. He'd grabbed the soft, furry rump of Cadence to gain more leverage—and simply because he liked to touch her there—and was now ramming himself in and out rapidly. The alicorn's arousal only helped him. Even if her cunny desperately tried to keep his manhood inside, her slick walls made leaving and entering her a piece of cake. There was no stopping Raymond anymore. He was fucking the princess like a wild animal, and she seemed to love every second of it. He was having the time of his life as well. She seemed to know just when to contract around his shaft and when to let go again, making sure he got the most pleasure out of each thrust. Ember meanwhile, was getting very close. Cadence's tongue was just too good. Her humping had increased and she was panting large puffs of black smoke. Cadence noticed this as well. Her walls were contracting a lot more around her tongue than earlier too, and it only made her double her effort. ''Oh, oh my,'' Ember groaned. ''You're just asking to get a full load, aren't you?'' Cadence widened her eyes and made some murmurs that sounded as desperate denial, all the while keeping up her perfect cunnilingus. ''That settles it, princess,'' Ember growled. ''I'm going to finish right on your tongue~'' Her humping became frantic, indicating just how close she was. Ember was not letting go of Cadence's face at all now, resulting in muzzle fucking her silly. ''Almost there,'' she whispered naughtily. True to her words, not much later, her walls clamped down on Cadence's tongue in sweet orgasm. A feminine roar was heard as Ember came, just like she promised, finishing right on Cadence's tongue. The pink alicorn could do nothing but swallow obediently, until Ember came down from her high, panting and basking in her satisfying afterglow. It was only then that she noticed how much she was being rocketed forwards. Raymond was still thoroughly fucking Cadence, the force behind every thrust strong enough to make both ladies propel forwards every time. The sight only made Ember encourage him. She shakily got off of the well fucked muzzle of Cadence, whose eyes were almost rolling back in her skull. Her tongue was lolling out of her mouth, and her horn was firing harmless shots of magic in every direction. ''C'mon, Ray,'' the dragonlord purred. ''Finish inside this naughty princess. Look how much she wants it.'' ''N-no!'' Cadence still managed to deny between her moans. ''Please, ah! Don't cum inside me.'' ''Do it, Ray. Ruin her royal cunny. Cum inside!'' For the blacksmith, his inevitable approach was soon reached as well. Cadence couldn't even reply. The moment he bottomed out and she felt his seeds coat her womb, she lost it too. Both pony and human moaned to the heavens, cumming together in a fashion that made Ember think they were two dragons mating instead. Cadence's milking snatch didn't let him go until he had emptied his entire load inside of her, making her overflow with his cum. Finally, Raymond stopped moving completely, and rested his tired body on the sweaty form of the princess. Nothing had to be said between the three; they just enjoyed each other's company while Cadence had them both wrapped in her wings. Then, when they all had came down from cloud nine, she began to giggle. ''Care to tell us what's so funny?'' Ray asked, amused. ''I've actually never done a role-play before. I didn't even know if you guys would follow my lead. So it was quite funny seeing you just go along with it.'' ''Well, I have to admit, it was pretty hot,'' Ember confessed. Ray nodded his head. ''Absolutely.'' ''So, does this mean our triple date was a success?'' Cadence sang. ''More than a success,'' Ray replied immediately. ''I have to say that I've gotten pretty smitten with the dragonlord over here.'' Ember blushed, and growled approvingly. ''I like you a lot too, Raymond.'' Cadence squealed. ''Does that mean what I think it means?'' ''That Ember and I are going to see each other more often? Yes, I think so. I'd like to see where this relationship is going.'' ''It would be something new for me too, dragons don't usually have relationships.'' ''Savages.'' ''But I would love to try this out with you, Ray.'' Ember's voice was pure and honest. It reminded him of his father. He could see it in her beautiful eyes as well; she was serious about this, and at that moment, Raymond knew, his live in the Crystal Empire would forever change for the best. > Removing the Impurities. > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Months had passed since Raymond had had his lovely encounter with princess Cadence and dragonlord Ember. while the memories of that night were still fresh in the blacksmith's mind, life had a habit of going on. The first few weeks, nothing major had changed. Ray still worked in his blacksmith in the Crystal Empire, making horseshoes for his customers and the occasional weapon for a guard. Cadence still visited from time to time for a chat, like she usually did. The topics were mainly about him and Ember, and how to proceed with their relationship from here on out. She was very professional about all of it, and the only change in her affection was a kiss whenever she left. As for Ember, she couldn't visit very often, so Raymond made the adjustment in his schedule to travel to her every weekend instead. The cyan dragoness was giddy whenever he was at her side, almost to the point she was longing for the weekend to arrive. Slowly, rumors began to spread amongst ponies. About Ray courting the current dragonlord, and some even claiming that princess Cadence was involved in all of it. It was all confirmed when princess Twilight made an unsuspected visit to the dragons when Ray was staying over, and had told the news to princess Celestia and Luna. Needless to say, they had been surprised. It was basically unheard of a dragoness having a mate that wasn't her own species, but they also remembered Ember wasn't opposed to pony traditions and customs at all. Better yet, she tried to implement it as much as possible, for a better relationship with ponies and dragons in the future. The day that really changed everything for Raymond was when Ember and princess Cadence had approached him in his shop one day. It was a beautiful spring afternoon. Raymond was busy hammering away, when the duo had stepped foot in his workplace. ''Hi, Ray!'' Ember chirped happily. The bulky man stopped what he was doing, looked up, and gave a wide smile. ''Well good afternoon, ladies. This is a pleasant surprise indeed.'' He gave Ember a kiss, and hugged the princess of love. ''To what do I owe this lovely company on this fine day?'' Cadence giggled. ''It's about you and Ember, sweetie, something very important,'' she told simply. ''Oh? Then why don't we discuss further with a cold drink?'' Raymond suggested. When the trio was sitting around a table, each having a glass of lemonade, Ember spoke up. ''Ray, I'm going to be honest with you,'' she opened up. She sounded sad, almost as if the next words were going to hurt her. ''You visiting every weekend? It's not enough for me.'' The blacksmith was silent, almost fearing the worst. Was she breaking up with him? ''What do you mean?'' he muttered. She sighed sadly. ''This is going to sound really selfish, but I'm looking for more. I'm sorry, Ray.'' Raymond's throat turned dry. He couldn't believe what she was saying. ''I- I don't understand.'' ''What I mean is. I have to end what we have going on right now.'' Almost fearfully, he looked at Cadence to see if it was true. She didn't move a muscle. Ember continued. ''Which is why I have decided—'' ''No, please. Don't break up with me,'' Raymond interrupted her. Ember looked at him owlishly. ''What?'' she responded in confusion. ''Please, I don't want to end what we have right now.'' Ember gave an unsure look to Cadence, who had trouble not bursting out in laughter. ''I think it's for the best if you do this, Ember,'' she replied after a while. Her words were honest, Ray could feel it in his veins, and it made him almost freeze up. ''I'm sorry, Ray. I have to be selfish here. I have decided to end what we have right now... and take you with me to live with the dragons so I can spend more time with you.'' ''I- but I- huh?'' Ray sputtered. Cadence couldn't hold it in anymore, and began to laugh. ''What's so funny?'' Ember questioned her friend. ''This is really serious. Ray's life will change drastically. Poor guy is too stunned to reply and you begin to laugh?'' Cadence snorted, before another burst of giggles took hold of her. Ray, who finally understood what was going on, gave a sigh of relief, before a hearty laugh escaped his throat as well. ''Oh man,'' he said, ''you had me worried there, Ember.'' ''Why?'' she cried out, completely lost. ''Don't you think losing everything which you have here for my sake isn't selfish?'' He put her claw in his hand, and gave her a bright smile. He could hear his dad speaking to him, clear as day, as he said his next words. ''For me, Ember, this is just a small sacrifice. Nothing makes me happier than being close to you.'' His passion made the dragoness blush. A feeling of warmth spread in her belly, something which she eagerly embraced. ''I love you,'' she replied. ''And I love you.'' They kissed while Cadence watched the scene with adoration on her face. It seemed Ray's philosophy had worked out in the end. Have faith, stay strong and be honest.
